SECTION 2.02 Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Owners and the Depositor.

SECTION 2.03 Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in the following activities:

(a) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and to sell the Notes upon the written order of the Depositor, and pursuant to this Agreement to issue a Certificate to the Depositor upon the written order of the Depositor;

(b) with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Certificate, to pay the Depositor the amounts owed pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, by directing the Representatives to wire transfer such proceeds in accordance with instructions received from the Depositor;

(c) with the proceeds from capital contributions from the Depositor, to pay organizational and transactional expenses of the Trust;

(d) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Owner pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement any portion of the Trust Estate released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the Indenture;

(e) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is to be a party;

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

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

The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

SECTION 2.04 Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.

SECTION 2.05 Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. The Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Owner Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1.00. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Owner Trust Estate and shall be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account. The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 2.06 Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Owner, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust.

SECTION 2.07 Liability of the Owner.

(a) The Depositor shall be liable directly to and will indemnify the injured party for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the Trust (including Expenses, to the extent not paid out of the Owner Trust Estate) to the extent that the Depositor would be liable if the Trust were a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act in which the Depositor were a general partner; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be liable for any losses incurred by a Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor in the Certificate or a Noteholder in the capacity of an investor in the Notes. In addition, any

third-party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the preceding proviso, for which the Depositor shall not be liable) shall be deemed third-party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The obligations of the Depositor under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Certificate described in Section 3.10.

(b) The Owner, other than to the extent set forth in paragraph (a), shall not have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust.

SECTION 2.08 Title to Trust Property. Legal title to all the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.09 Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware.

(b) the Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify or to obtain such license or approval would render any Receivable unenforceable that would otherwise be enforceable by the Depositor, the Sub-Servicer or the Owner Trustee;

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

(d) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of organization or limited liability company agreement of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents);

nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any Federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 3.01 Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the termination of the Trust, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.02 The Certificate. The Certificate shall be issued in a registered, definitive, physical certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A. The Certificate shall be indivisible and represent one hundred percent (100%) of the beneficial interest in the Trust. The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee. The Certificate 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 the Trust, shall, when authenticated pursuant to Section 3.03, be validly issued and entitled to the benefits 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 the Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of the Certificate.

SECTION 3.03 Authentication of the Certificate. Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to the Depositor. The Certificate shall not 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 the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 3.04 Exchange of the Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Certificate and of exchanges of the Certificate as herein provided. [__] shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.

At the option of the Certificateholder, the Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates representing the same undivided beneficial interest in the Trust upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the 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 the Certificate.

No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless the holder of such Certificate shall have first surrendered such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, or if such Certificate shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Certificate shall first comply with Section 3.05 hereof.

SECTION 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificate. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for, or in lieu of, any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners. The Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent 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 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.07 Access to Certificateholder’s Name and Address. The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, the name and address of the Certificateholder as of the most recent Record Date.

SECTION 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificate may be surrendered for registration of exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar as the office where the Certificate may be surrendered for exchange or transfer. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.09 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholder from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. 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. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be [ ], and any co-paying agent chosen by the Paying Agent and acceptable to the Owner Trustee. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that [ ] shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholder. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee (subject to applicable escheatment laws) and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 7.04 hereof and Section 6.07 of the Indenture shall apply to [ ] or any affiliate thereof in its role as Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar for so long as [ ] or any affiliate thereof shall act as Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar, and to the extent applicable, to any other certificate registrar or paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10 Depositor as Certificateholder. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire the Certificate representing the undivided beneficial interest in the Trust and, thereafter, shall retain beneficial and record ownership of the Certificate representing such undivided beneficial interest in the Trust. Any attempted transfer of any Certificate that would reduce such interest of the Depositor shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE”.

SECTION 3.11 Non-transferability of the Certificate(s). To the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Certificate is not transferable and shall remain registered in the name of John Deere Receivables LLC.

SECTION 3.12 Regarding the Certificate. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate issued hereunder, represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Owner Trustee or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own investment decision in respect of the Certificate. Each Certificateholder also represents that it will, independently and without reliance on the Owner

Trustee or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Trust Agreement and in connection with the Certificate. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Certificateholders by the Owner Trustee hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Certificateholder with any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, the Trust, the Depositor or any other parties hereto or to any related documents which may come into the possession of the Owner Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or attorneys-in-fact.

SECTION 3.13 Restrictions on Note Acquisitions. Neither a member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes the Trust or a beneficial owner of a Certificate nor a “controlled partnership” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) of such expanded group shall acquire any Notes from the Trust, any Affiliate, or through the marketplace prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the acquisition or reacquisition of such Note will not cause the Trust, initially upon such acquisition or subsequent to the acquisition, to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under section 385 of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) any U.S. corporate member of the same U.S. corporate affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) filing a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the Trust or every applicable beneficial owner of a Certificate (the “Trust Consolidated Group”) or (ii) a partnership all of the partners of which are U.S. corporate members of the Trust Consolidated Group. No member of any “expanded group” that includes the Trust or a beneficial owner of a Certificate (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) or “controlled partnership” of such expanded group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) shall transfer any Notes outside the expanded group prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that the transfer of such Note will not cause the Trust to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under section 385 of the Code.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owner requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the

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

The Owner shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section. In no event shall the Trust elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. No transfer of a Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar has received (A) a certificate from such Person to the effect that such Person is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and (B) the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel (which counsel is independent from the Depositor and the Trust) that such action shall not cause the Trust to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and such transferee or assignee shall agree to take positions for tax purposes consistent with the tax.

(c) Notice of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Certificateholder shall surrender its Certificate to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to the Certificateholder mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholder. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholder amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.02.

Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor (subject to applicable escheatment laws).

(d) Upon the winding up of the Trust and satisfaction of all obligations in accordance with Section 3808 of the Trust Statute, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Trust Statute and the Trust shall terminate and this Agreement (other than Article VIII) shall be of no further force or effect.

SECTION 9.02 Dissolution upon Bankruptcy of the Depositor. In the event that an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Depositor, the Trust shall be dissolved in accordance with Section 9.01 90 days after the date of such Insolvency Event, unless, before the end of such 90-day period, the Owner Trustee shall have received written instructions from each of the Noteholders, to the effect that each such party disapproves of the liquidation of the Receivables and termination of the Trust. Promptly after the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to the Depositor, (i) the Depositor shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee written notice of such Insolvency Event, (ii) the Owner Trustee shall, upon the receipt of such written notice from the Depositor, give prompt written notice to the Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such event and (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of written notice of such Insolvency Event from the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that any failure to give a notice required by this sentence shall not prevent or delay, in any manner, a dissolution of the Trust pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.02.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

SECTION 10.01 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a Person satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Person shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.

SECTION 10.02 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator; provided, however, that such resignation and discharge shall only be effective upon the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall provide to the Seller in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, all information reasonably requested by the Seller in order to comply with its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to the resignation of the Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If at any time the Owner Trustee shall fail to comply with any of its obligations under Section 10.02 or Section 10.04 of this Agreement or Section 4.16 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement during the period that the Seller is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust and such failure is not remedied within the lesser of ten calendar days and the period of time in which the related Exchange Act Report is required to be filed (without taking into account any extensions), then the Seller may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator or Seller shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the two immediately preceding sentences, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and one copy to the Seller, together with the basis for removal and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

The Depositor shall pay all expenses associated with replacing the Owner Trustee with a successor owner trustee, unless the removal is a result of the willful misconduct or negligence of the Owner Trustee, in which case, such expenses will be the responsibility of the replaced Owner Trustee.

SECTION 10.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement and deliver to the Seller in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, all information reasonably requested by the Seller in order to comply with its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to the successor Owner Trustee, 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 and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

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

SECTION 10.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Administrator, which shall make such notice available to the Rating Agencies, and that the Owner Trustee will provide the Seller in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, all information reasonably requested by the Seller in order to comply with its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to the successor Owner Trustee.

SECTION 10.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Equipment may at the time be located, or for enforcement or conflict of interest matters, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as

co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03. A co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder is not an agent of the Owner Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner 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 Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
