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

(d)

SECTION 2.11.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.

(a)

Treatment of Notes as Indebtedness. The Seller, the Owner Trustee and each Certificateholder intend and agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of applicable state or local income taxes, franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon or measured by net income.

(b)

Allocations. Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated:

(i)

for so long as all of the Certificates are owned by one Person, the Trust shall be disregarded as an entity separate from that Person such that net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to that Person and treated in the same manner as if the Trust were a division or branch of that Person; and

(ii)

in the event that there is a transfer (as such term is defined for federal income tax purposes) of any Certificates and there is more than one owner of Certificates for federal income tax purposes, net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated pro rata to the Certificateholders based on their Certificate Balance.

(c)

Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the above, if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local, or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Issuer, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats Notes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder. In the event such a partnership is deemed to exist, the net income of the Issuer for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated in such manner as to cause to the greatest extent possible the Certificateholder and each Noteholder to recogni ze net taxable income or loss at such time, and in such amounts, as each such person would have recognized such income or loss if such Notes had not been recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 3.1.

INITIAL OWNERSHIP. Upon the formation of Issuer by Depositor pursuant to the Original Trust Agreement and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.2.

THE CERTIFICATES. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall have the power and authority and it is hereby authorized and empowered, in the name and on behalf of the Trust, to authorize, execute, issue and deliver the Certificates. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of Issuer, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates. If a transfer of the Certificates is permitted pursuant to Section 3.11, a transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4. Certificates shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, in minimum denominations of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except for one Certificate which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000,000).

SECTION 3.3.

Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Certificate Balance to be executed on behalf of Issuer, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, its chief financial officer, its chief accounting officer, any vice president, its secretary, any assistant secretary, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer, without further corporate action by Depositor. No Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by Owner Trustee by manual signature; suc h authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 3.4.

REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

(a)

Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. No Certificate may be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of to any Person except in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 and any attempted transfer in violation of Section 3.11 shall be null and void.

(b)

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to such transfer, Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like class and Certificate Balance dated the date of authentication by Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8.

(c)

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, a commercial bank or trust company or an “eligible guarantor institution” with membership or participation in STAMP or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by Certificate Registrar in addition to, or substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

(d)

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

(e)

The preceding provisions of this Section 3.4 notwithstanding, Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar need not register any transfer or exchange of Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding any Payment Date for any payment with respect to the Certificates.

SECTION 3.5.

MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to Certificate Registrar, or if Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to Certificate Registrar and Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, Owner Trustee on behalf of Issuer shall execute and Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor and Certificate Balance. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.6.

PERSONS DEEMED CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, Owner Trustee, Certificate Registrar or any agent of Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of Owner Trustee, Certificate Registrar or any agent of Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7.

ACCESS TO LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS’ NAMES AND ADDRESSES. Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by Owner Trustee of a request therefor from Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance, apply in writing to Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold Depositor, Certificate Registrar or Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 3.8.

MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. Certificate Registrar shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to Depositor and to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.9.

APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT. Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to Owner Trustee; provided that this reporting shall not be required if the Owner Trustee is serving as Paying Agent. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove Paying Agent if Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Paying Agent shall initially be JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and any co-paying agent chosen by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and acceptable to Owner Trustee. Paying Agent shall be pe rmitted to resign upon 30 days’ written notice to Owner Trustee and Master Servicer. In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., shall no longer be Paying Agent, Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.1 shall apply to Owner Trustee in its role as Paying Agent, in the event that Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10.

FORM OF THE CERTIFICATES. The Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing definitive Certificates and shall be registered in the name of Wells Fargo Financial Receivables, LLC as the initial registered owner thereof. Owner Trustee shall execute and authenticate, or cause to be authenticated, the definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor. Neither Certificate Registrar nor Owner 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 Certificates, the Owner Trustee and each Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Certificates as Certificateholders. The Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other m anner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

SECTION 3.11.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

(a)

No Certificate may be resold, assigned or transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) other than the initial registration of the Certificates in the name of Wells Fargo Financial Receivables, LLC unless such resale, assignment or transfer is (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or (iii) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subject to the receipt by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor of (A) a certification by both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee of the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and (B) an opinion of counsel (whic h shall not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee), satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States. In addition, each transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar its tax identification number, address, nominee name (if applicable) and wire transfer instructions. Prior to any resale, assignment or transfer of the Certificates described in clause (ii) above, each prospective purchaser of the Certificates shall have acknowledged, represented and agreed as follows:

(i)

It is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and is acquiring the Certificates for its own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).

(ii)

It acknowledges that the Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

(iii)

It is familiar with Rule 144A and is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and it is not acquiring the Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future it decides to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Certificates, such Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (A) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (B) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom it reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (D) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (1) the Certificate Registrar shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and (2) the Certificate Registrar shall require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States.

(iv)

It is aware that it (or any account for which it is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Certificates for an indefinite period, and it (or such account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.

(v)

It understands that the Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12.

(vi)

If it is acquiring any Certificates for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.

(vii)

It acknowledges that the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements.

If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event reliev e the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

If at any time Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by Administrator, or if at any time Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then Administrator may remove Owner Trustee. If Administrator shall remove Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.3.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably b e required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

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

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

SECTION 10.4.

MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE.

SECTION 10.5.

APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, Administrator and Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to Issuer, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as Administrator and Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment withi n 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(iii)

Administrator and Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint Owner Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A Asset Backed Certificates (herein called the “Certificates”). Also issued under the Indenture dated as of May 31, 2005, between Issuer and Indenture Trustee, are the classes of Notes designated as 3.39% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 3.86% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), 4.09% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), 4.28% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”).

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month (or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), commencing on July 15, 2005, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, such Certificateholder’s Certificate Balance in the amount to be distributed to Certificateholders on such date.

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

It is the intent of the Seller, the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal income taxes, and to the extent permitted by law, for purposes of applicable state income or franchise tax, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity apart from its owner if there is only one owner for federal income tax purposes, or, if there is more than one owner for federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a partnership the partners of which are the Certificateholders; provided, however, that if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Trust, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Trust shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats N otes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Certificateholders by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust and the Certificates for such tax purposes as just described.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, represents that (i) it has neither acquired nor will it transfer the Certificate or cause the Certificate to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code or a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over the counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations; (ii) it either (A) is not, and will not become a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of the Certificate; and (iii) it understands that tax counsel to the Issuer has provided an opinion substantially to the effect that the Issuer will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the validity of such opinion is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against Depositor or the Issuer, or join in or encourage any institution against Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

Each Certificateholder by accepting a Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder’s Certificates represent beneficial interests in Issuer only and do not represent interests in or obligations of Depositor, Master Servicer, Administrator, Seller, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates or the Basic Documents.

The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of or with the assets of (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title 1 of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not purchasing on behalf of a Benefit Plan.

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

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Owner Trustee on behalf of Issuer and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Certificates, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security be means of general advertising or in any manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of the Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of the Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(c)

The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is either (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act) purchasing for its own account or (b) either (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or (ii) an entity in which all the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Certificate.

Unless the Transferee is either (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act or (b) an entity in which all the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act that is furnishing a Transferee Certificate in the form of Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement, the Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

(e)

The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Certificates and distributions thereon, (b) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (c) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Certificates, that the Transferee has requested.

(c) We are familiar with Rule 144A and are aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and we are not acquiring the Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future we decide to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Certificates, such Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) 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 Owner Trustee will require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee will require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States;

(d) No Certificate may be acquired by or for the account of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title 1 of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e) (1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of such plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). Each Person who acquires any Certificate or interest therein will certify that the foregoing conditions are satisfied;

(e) We are aware that we (or any account for which we are purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Certificates for an indefinite period, and we (or such account) are able to bear such risk for an indefinite period;

(f) We understand that the Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Trust Agreement;

(g) If we are acquiring any Certificates for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers, we represent that we have sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that we have full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account;

(h) We acknowledge that the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements; and

(i) We acknowledge that we have been notified of the transfer restrictions and related provisions applicable to the Certificates set forth in the Trust Agreement and agree to be bound by such restrictions and provisions.

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

Very truly yours,
