                                        -----------------
any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Class C Notes. The Class C Notes are subject to
all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Class C Note that are defined
in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned
to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the

shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, or the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Class C Notes to be immediately due and payable in
the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on
                       ------------
the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled
thereto.

     Each Class C Noteholder or Class C Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C
Note or, in the case of a Class C Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C
Note covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly,
with respect to the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture on the Class C
Notes or under any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any of their Affiliates.

     On each Remittance Date, commencing January, 2002, the Indenture Trustee or
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class C Note is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding a Remittance Date (the "Record Date") an amount equal to

                                          ------------

     Distributions on this Class C Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee or
Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such name and address shall appear on the Note Register or, upon written request
to the Indenture Trustee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Person entitled thereto as shall appear on the Note Register
without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation
thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, and,

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class C Note will
be made after due notice by the Indenture Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class C Note at
the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar in New
York, New York.

     As provided in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, deposits
and withdrawals from the Note Distribution Account, the Principal and Interest
Account and the Reserve Fund Account may be made by the Indenture Trustee from
time to time for purposes other than distributions to Class C Noteholders, such
purposes including reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by it, and investment in Permitted Instruments.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Class C Note is registrable in the Note Register
upon surrender of this Class C Note for registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies maintained by the Note Registrar in New York, New York, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to, the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the holder hereof or
such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Class C Notes in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
undivided Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Class C Note is issuable only as a registered Class C Note. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Class
C Note is exchangeable for a new Class C Note evidencing the same undivided
ownership interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Servicer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, and
any agent of any of the foregoing, may treat the person in whose name this Class
C Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Indenture shall
terminate upon the payment to Class C Noteholders of all amounts required to be
paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
the disposition of all property held as part of the Indenture Collateral.
