GRANTING CLAUSE

The Issuer hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in, to and under (a) all Eligible Receivables, all Collateral Security with respect thereto, all monies due or to become due thereon and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC and Recoveries), (b) all Cash Accumulation Accounts and all Distribution Accounts with respect to Notes, (c) the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement (including the rights of Wholesale Auto Receivables Corporation (the “Seller”) under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement assigned to the Issuer pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement), (d) any Specified Support Arrangement, including the right to receive payments thereunder and (e) any proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively with the items described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Issuer Collateral”).

The Seller has granted a security interest in each SWIFT X Reserve Fund to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “Seller Collateral,” and collectively with the Issuer Collateral, the “Collateral”).

The foregoing grant is made in trust to secure the payment of principal of and interest on, and any other amounts owing in respect of, the Notes, equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction (except as otherwise provided in any Officer’s Issuance Certificate or supplement hereto), to secure (only to the extent expressly provided herein) distributions of Certificate Balance with respect to and interest on the Certificates, and to secure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, all as provided in this Indenture. This Indenture constitutes a security agreement under the UCC.

The foregoing grant includes all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of the Issuer under any agreement or instrument included in the Collateral, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments in respect of the Receivables included in the Collateral and all other monies payable under the Collateral, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of the Issuer or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect to the Collateral.

The Indenture Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders, acknowledges such grant and accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(D) for such other matters as the Authentication Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Upon execution and delivery of an Officer’s Issuance Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or, if provided in an Officer’s Issuance Certificate, with respect to a series of Notes, an authentication agent for such series of Notes acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (the Indenture Trustee or other person authenticating such Notes, the “Authentication Agent”) shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the related Notes to or upon the written order of the Issuer, signed by any Authorized Officer.

SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Term Notes, if any, to be issued in exchange for Book-Entry Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Authentication Agent shall authenticate and deliver, such Temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Term Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as are consistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(b) If Temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Term Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Term Notes, the Temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Term Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes at the Agency Office of the Issuer or a Paying Agent, if so specified in the applicable Officer’s Issuance Certificate, to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Term Notes of authorized denominations. Until so delivered in exchange, the Temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Term Notes.

SECTION 2.4 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a Note Register, for each series of Notes, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Note Registrar for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided, unless with respect to a specific series of Notes, the Officer’s Issuance Certificate applicable to such series of Notes provides otherwise. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Note Registrar or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

(b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuer (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall execute, the Authentication Agent shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the

Authentication Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(d) At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same series in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Authentication Agent or the Agency Office of the Issuer (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall execute, and the Authentication Agent shall upon receipt of a written order, authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, such Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of other Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New York or the place or places specified in the applicable Officer’s Issuance Certificate or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee is located, or having a correspondent in another place or places which is specified in the applicable Officer’s Issuance Certificate; and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

(g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

(h) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, (i) of Notes that have been selected for redemption pursuant to Article X, if applicable; (ii) of Notes that are due for repayment within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office; or (iii) if Section 2.15 has not been complied with in connection with such transfer.

SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon the Issuer’s written request the

Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of a like series and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer or Paying Agent, as applicable, may make payment to the Holder of such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof.

(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Note or payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to subsection (a), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from (i) any Person to whom it was delivered, (ii) the Person taking such replacement Note from the Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or (iii) any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.5, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

(d) Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement for any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time or be enforced by any Person, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.5 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 Notes.

SECTION 2.6 Persons Deemed Noteholders. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and any other agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the Noteholder for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any other agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall certify to the Issuer that surrendered Notes have been duly canceled and retained or destroyed, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture, other than as permitted by Sections 3.21, 8.4 and 11.1, only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (to the extent required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1).

SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Officer’s Issuance Certificate, the Term Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of the Issuer and such Note or Notes shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Note Depository (initially, Cede & Co.). No Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Term Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until Definitive Term Notes with respect to such Notes have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to such Notes:

(a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of such Notes and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control;

(d) the rights of the Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those rights established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and unless and until Definitive Term Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers between the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit

payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants, pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has (i) received written instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and (ii) delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. With respect to any Term Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes, whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Term Notes representing such Term Notes shall have been issued to the related Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the related Noteholders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no other obligation to such Note Owners.

SECTION 2.12 Definitive Term Notes. If for any Term Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes (i) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Administrator, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicing Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Term Notes to such Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing such Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate the related Definitive Term Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency within 60 days of the occurrence of the relevant event. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Term Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Term Notes as Noteholders. The terms and conditions of the affected series of Notes, the Indenture, the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate and any related paying agent agreement or related document shall be amended in such manner as the Indenture Trustee reasonably requires to take account of the issue of such Definitive Term Notes. The manner of the issuance of such Definitive Term Notes, for the series may be subject to such additional or different provisions as are specified in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate.

SECTION 2.13 Seller as Noteholder. The Seller in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any series and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Seller.

SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and the Noteholders and the Note Owners, by acquiring any Note or interest therein, (i) express their intention that the Notes qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and (ii) unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to Subsequent Transfers of Certain Notes.

(a) The Revolving Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Consequently, such Notes (the “Unregistered Notes”) are not transferable other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein or in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate. Unless otherwise provided in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate, no sale, pledge or other transfer of any Unregistered Note (or interest therein) after the date thereof may be made by any Person unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or to an institutional investor that is an “accredited investor” (as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and, if so requested by the Seller or the Indenture Trustee, such proposed transferee executes and delivers a certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, (ii) such sale, pledge or other transfer occurs outside of the United States to a non-United States Person in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act, or (iii) such sale, pledge or other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Seller, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the Seller and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act. Unless otherwise provided in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate, no sale, pledge or other transfer of any Revolving Note that is an Unregistered Note (or interest therein) may be made by any Person unless the Seller shall have consented in writing to such transfer. Neither the Seller nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to register any Unregistered Notes under the Securities Act, qualify any Unregistered Notes under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to any purchaser or holder thereof.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate, the Unregistered Notes may not be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan and, by accepting and holding an Unregistered Note, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and, if requested to do so by the Seller or the Indenture Trustee, the Holder of an Unregistered Note shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Undertaking Letter in the form set forth in Exhibit B.

(c) Unless otherwise provided in the related Officer’s Issuance Certificate, Unregistered Notes shall be issued in the form of Definitive Notes, shall be in fully registered form and Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 of this Indenture shall not apply thereto.

(d) Each Unregistered Note shall bear legends to the effect set forth in subsections (a) and (b) (if subsection (b) is applicable) above.

SECTION 2.16 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption, if any, as a convenience to Holders; provided that such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other indemnification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case, unless the principal amount of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) setting forth the Event or Events of Default, and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided, however, that no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto; and provided, further, that if the Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been commenced.

SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if there shall occur an Event of Default under Sections 5.1(a), (b) or (c) that has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.12, then the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the parties to receive such amounts pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the entire amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal

for each series of Notes, at the rate borne by such Notes and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel, with all such amounts applied as described in clause SECOND of Section 5.4(b).

(b) If the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by applicable law.

(d) If there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under any Insolvency Law, or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Basic Documents, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders.

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a), the Indenture Trustee may (but shall not be required to) do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise,

enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and

(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law or elect to have the Issuer maintain possession of the Trust Estate, including the Receivables included therein, and continue to apply Collections on such Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, unless (A) the Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes and, if GMAC and its affiliates own less than 100% of the Certificates, the Holders of Certificates representing all of the Voting Interests consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Securityholders are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Notes and the Certificate Balance of and accrued interest on the Certificates, in each case as of the date of such sale or liquidation or (C) (i) there has been an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a), (b) or (c) or otherwise arising from a failure to make a required payment of principal on any Notes, (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as and when they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable and (iii) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7 and to the Owner Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.9 of the Trust Agreement and Section 7.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

SECOND: to the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, with such amounts being deemed to be Available Trust Principal and Available Trust Interest in the same proportion as the outstanding principal balance of the Notes bears to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes (and, if any series of Notes has Specified Support Arrangements, the amount unpaid under such Specified Support Arrangement).

SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(d) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(e) no written direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.6, each and every Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.7 Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holders of Notes shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Notes, as allocated to it under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and applicable Officer’s Issuance Certificate, on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Notes or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, if applicable, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holders.

SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and to their respective former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, subject to provision being made for indemnification against costs, expenses and liabilities in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability (y) with respect to which the Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe that adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to it and (z) which might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each such Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to:

(a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee;

(b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; or

(c) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b) hereof.

SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer of their respective obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by GMAC of its obligations under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or

waiver under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs, including without limitation, continuing to hold the Trust Estate and receive collections on the Receivables included therein and provided in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement against the Indenture Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture

Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(i) this Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.1(b);

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.

SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer or an Opinion of Counsel that such action or omission is required or permitted hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its direction, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.

SECTION 6.3 Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.

SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any

document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder the information and documents set forth in Article VII, and, in addition, all such information with respect to the Notes as may be required by the terms of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement to be provided to Holders by the Indenture Trustee to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing.

The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement to indemnify the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Issuer’s obligation to cause the Servicer to honor the Issuer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee specified in Section 6.7(a) shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer, if the Servicer has failed to honor such obligation the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Insolvency Law.

SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its intent to resign by so notifying the Issuer; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective and the Owner Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c). The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint and designate a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment and designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.7 and the Servicer’s corresponding obligations under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee.

(a) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture; provided, however, that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Indenture, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall

have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or herein with respect to the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Issuer or any Dealer may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders, such title to the Issuer, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

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

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture 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 Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and Section 26(a) of the Investment Company Act.

The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

(d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any Governmental Authority or agency regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee; and

(e) this Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

SECTION 6.15 Suit for Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture by a Proceeding whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.

Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have the right to direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed

would be illegal or subject it to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Noteholders not parties to such direction; and provided, further, that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Indenture Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Noteholders.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

(c) It shall be sufficient if an Act of Noteholders approves the substance, but not the form, of any proposed supplemental indenture.

(d) Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

With respect to the Term Notes, such Term Notes shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the applicable Redemption Date cease to be Outstanding for purposes of this Indenture and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating such Redemption Price.

(iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Warranty Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Defaulted Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such Person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

(b) Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders or a series of Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a

writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

SECTION 11.4 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and either sent by electronic facsimile transmission (with hard copy to follow via first class mail) or mailed, by certified mail, return receipt requested to the Issuer and the Owner Trustee each at the address specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer.

(c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be delivered as specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any condition or event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other

Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

(c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.

SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

(a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

(b) The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and the Note Owners and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders and the Certificate Owners and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays.

If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.14 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture . If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.16 No Recourse.

(a) Each Noteholder will agree by acceptance of a Note (or interest therein) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against:

(i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity;

(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer; or

(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such entity.

Wholesale Inventory Financing TRUST X

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the purchase of a Note subject to Section 2.15 of the Indenture dated as of September 16, 2004 (the “Unregistered Note”) of the Superior Wholesale Inventory Financing TRUST X, the undersigned buyer (“Buyer”) hereby acknowledges, represents and agrees that:

(a) The Buyer has received the [describe offering document] relating to the offering of the Unregistered Note (including exhibits thereto).

(b) The Buyer understands that the Unregistered Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. The Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which it is acting as hereinafter stated, that such Unregistered Note may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to an institutional investor that is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) under the Securities Act acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity) that, if so requested by the Seller or the Indenture Trustee, executes a certificate in the form hereof, (ii) so long as such Unregistered Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person whom the Buyer reasonably believes after due inquiry to be a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”) that, if so requested by the Seller or the Indenture Trustee, executes a certificate in the form hereof or (iii) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Seller, the Servicer

or the Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the Seller and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. The Buyer will notify any purchaser of the Unregistered Note from it of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. The Buyer further understands that in connection with any transfer of the Unregistered Note by it that the Seller and the Indenture Trustee may request, and if so requested the Buyer will furnish, such certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions.

(c)

[CHECK ONE]

(1) The Buyer is an institutional investor and an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited Investors unless the Buyer is bank acting in its fiduciary capacity). The Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Unregistered Note, and the Buyer and any accounts for which it is acting are able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Unregistered Note for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer is acquiring the Unregistered Note for investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in connection with, a public distribution.

(2) The Buyer is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring the Unregistered Note for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”). The Buyer is familiar with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is aware that the seller of the Unregistered Note and other parties intend to rely on the statements made herein and the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

(d) You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

APPENDIX A

ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the property described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Trust Assets”) in favor of the Indenture Trustee which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors and purchasers from the Trust.

2. All steps necessary to perfect the Trust’s security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Trust Assets have been taken.

3. The Trust Assets constitute “accounts,” “chattel paper” or “payment intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4. The Trust owns and has good and marketable title to the Trust Assets free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person. The Trust has received all consents and approval required by the terms of the Trust Assets to the pledge of the Trust Assets to the Indenture Trustee.

5. The Trust has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Trust Assets granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement.

6. GMAC, as Custodian, has in its possession the Eligible Receivables Files and holds them in accordance with its customary procedures and any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the Eligible Receivables. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Trust in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Trust Assets contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

7. Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement, the Trust has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Assets. The Trust has not authorized the filing of and none is aware of any financing statements that include a description of collateral covering the Trust Assets other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest granted to WARCO, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents, (ii) that has been terminated, or (iii) that names the Trust as secured party. The Trust is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Trust.

8. The representations, warranties and certifications contained in paragraphs 1-7 above shall survive the pledge of the Trust Assets to the Indenture Trustee. No failure or delay on the part of the Indenture Trustee in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
