other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any
portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an
appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

         Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of
the Notes set forth in Exhibits hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.

         Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall
be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The
signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or
facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who
were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.

         The Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and
deliver for original issue the following aggregate principal amount of Notes:
(i) $222,000,000 of Class A-1 Notes, (ii) $555,000,000 of Class A-2 Notes, (iii)
$200,000,000 of Class A-3 Notes, (iv) $331,750,000 of Class A-4 Notes, (v)
$56,250,000 of Class B Notes, (vi) $63,750,000 of Class C Notes and (vii)

and Class D Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such respective
amounts, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05.

         Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes
shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and
in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

         No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.

         Section 2.03. Temporary Notes. Subject to Section 2.09, pending the
preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an
Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that
are printed, lithographed, typewritten,

                                       13
<PAGE>

mimeographed or otherwise produced of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu
of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the
terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

         If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the related Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor, a like tenor and principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

         Section 2.04. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for
the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The
Trustee shall be the initial "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any
Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects
not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

         If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note
Registrar, the Issuer will give the 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, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect
the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the
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 Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, provided
that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from
the Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount.

         At the option of a Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of
the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, provided that the
requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee,
the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

         All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of 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.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         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 Trustee 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 city in which the
Corporate Trust Office is located, or by a member firm of a national securities
exchange, and such other documents as the Trustee may require.

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the 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 Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any
transfer.

         The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer
shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers
or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15
days preceding the due date for the payment in full of such Note.

         Copies of this Indenture (without exhibits) may be obtained by
Noteholders upon request in writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office.

         Section 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, (ii) there is
delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless and (iii) the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer,
the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a
protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), the Issuer shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of the same Class; 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 may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note which has not been replaced as
permitted by the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (as defined in
Article 8 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement
Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the
Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment)
from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement
Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any
assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8
of the UCC), and 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 Trustee in connection therewith.

         Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the
Issuer or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other

                                       15
<PAGE>

governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Note
Registrar) connected therewith.

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement
of 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 at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 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 2.06. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee and any of their
respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as
of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of
the Issuer, the Trustee nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or
more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed
first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note
Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been

Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the
final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a

paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if the Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a

         through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established
         by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency
         or the Clearing Agency Participants; pursuant to the Note Depository
         Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to
         Section 2.11, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among

         principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency
         Participants; and

                  (v)      whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions
         to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
         (or Holders of any Class thereof, including the Controlling Class)
         evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the
         Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to
         the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note

         respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in
         the Notes (or any Class thereof, including the Controlling Class) and

have no obligation to the Note Owners.

         Section 2.11. Definitive Notes.

         (a)      If (i)(A) the Administrator advises the Trustee in writing
that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as described in the Note Depository Agreement and (B) the
Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to

                                       20

terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the

the best interests of the related Note Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all
Note Owners of the related Class of Notes, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the
related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the 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 Definitive Notes of a Class, the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such
Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such
Independent Certificates.

         Section 2.13. Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal,
state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes
will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. The
Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance
of its Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the
applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and
local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the
Issuer.

for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office
or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
such surrenders, notices and demands.

         Section 3.03. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. As provided in
Sections 5.06 and 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account

behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts

Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note
Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly
notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

         The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby
so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will:

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  (i)      hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts
         due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons
         entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
         otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such
         Persons as herein provided;

                  (ii)     give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer
         (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment
         required to be made with respect to the Notes;

                  (iii)    at any time during the continuance of any such
         default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
         Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

                  (iv)     immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay
         to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if
         at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a
         Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

                  (v)      comply with all requirements of the Code with respect
         to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
         applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
         applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

         The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by
such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as
those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment
by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.

         Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount
due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and upon
receipt of an Issuer Request shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Collection
Account; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New
York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to or for the
account of the Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of
the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment
(including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been
called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or
interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for
each such Holder).

existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the
State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or
becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States, in
which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and

instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

         Section 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer intends the
security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust
Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain,
for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and
a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate. The Issuer
will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments
hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments
of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Master
Servicer and delivered to the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary
or advisable to:

                  (i)      Grant more effectively all or any portion of the
         Trust Estate;

                  (ii)     maintain or preserve the lien and security interest
         (and the priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more
         effectively the purposes hereof;

                  (iii)    perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of
         any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

         rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against
         the claims of all persons and parties; or

                  (vi)     pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon
         the Trust Estate when due.

         The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact
to execute all financing statements, continuation statements or other
instruments required to be executed pursuant to this Section.

         Section 3.06. Opinions as to Trust Estate.

         (a)      Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements and
continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to
create and continue the Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in
the Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of
such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are

<PAGE>

         (b)      Within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year
beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after

dated as of a date during such 90-day period, to the effect that, in the opinion

have been executed and filed that are necessary to create and continue the
Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in the collateral for the
benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such filings or
referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (ii)
no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security interest.

         Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts;
Backup Servicer.

         (a)      The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best
efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, including the Master
Servicer, that would release any Person from any of such Person's material
covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust
Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination,
termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any
such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents or such other instrument or agreement.

         (b)      The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any performance
of such duties by a Person identified to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate
shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the action or inaction of the Master Servicer or the
Administrator. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Master Servicer and
the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this
Indenture.

         (c)      The Issuer will, and will cause the Administrator to,
punctually perform and observe all of the obligations and agreements of the
Issuer and the Administrator contained in this Indenture, the other Basic
Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate,
including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and
continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and
the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods
provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein,
the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic
Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Trustee or the
Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or such
greater percentage as may be specified in the particular provision.

         (d)      If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and each Rating
Agency thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer
is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from
the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Contracts, the Issuer
shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

         (e)      If the Issuer has given notice of termination to the Master
Servicer of the Master Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.02 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Issuer
shall (subject to the right of the Trustee to direct such

                                       25
<PAGE>

appointment pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement)
appoint a successor servicer (the "Successor Master Servicer"), and such
Successor Master Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption
in a form acceptable to the Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master
Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when
the Master Servicer ceases to act as Master Servicer, the Trustee without
further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Master Servicer.
The Trustee may resign as the Successor Master Servicer by giving written notice
of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such
duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new
servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below.
Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new
servicer as the Successor Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Any Successor Master Servicer (other than the Trustee) shall (i) be
an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle
receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having
substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement applicable to the Master Servicer. If within 30 days after the
delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained
such a new Master Servicer, the Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Master Servicer. In connection
with any such appointment, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to
the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in
accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the
Contracts (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee). If the Trustee shall succeed to the Master Servicer's duties as
servicer of the Contracts as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual
capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article Six shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor
to the Master Servicer and the servicing of the Contracts. If the Trustee shall
become successor to the Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Master Servicer one of its
Affiliates, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions
of such Affiliate in such capacity as Successor Master Servicer.

         (f)      Upon any termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly
notify the Trustee. As soon as a Successor Master Servicer is appointed, the

         continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the
         Contracts in favor of the Trustee, which

                                       31
<PAGE>

         security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as
         such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

                  (ii)     Chattel Paper. Each Contract constitutes "tangible
         chattel paper" as defined in the applicable UCC.

                  (iii)    Perfection. The Issuer 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
         Contracts granted to the Trustee hereunder.

         the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged,

         description of collateral covering the Contracts other than any
         financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the
         Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

                  (v)      Tax Lien. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or
         tax lien filings against it.

         Section 5.01. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used
herein, means the occurrence of any one of the following events (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):

                  (i)      default by the Issuer in the payment of any interest
         on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and
         payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five days or
         more;

                  (ii)     default by the Issuer in the payment of the principal
         of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same

                  (iii)    default in the observance or performance of any
         material covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture
         (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or
         performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt
         with), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this
         Indenture, any other Basic Document or in any certificate or other
         writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proves to
         have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the
         same shall have been made, and such default shall continue or not be
         cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of which such
         misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been
         eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days after there
         shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer
         by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at
         least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
         Class, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect
         representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating
         that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;

                  (iv)     the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court
         having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any
         substantial part of the Trust Estate in an involuntary case under any
         applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
         now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
         assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the
         Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or ordering the
         winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer's affairs, and such decree or
         order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
         consecutive days; or

                  (v)      the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case
         under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
         similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Issuer to
         the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such
         law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment or taking
         possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
         sequestrator or similar official of the

                                       35
<PAGE>

         Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making
         by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
         or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts
         become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any
         of the foregoing.

         The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within five days after
obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an
Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse
of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iii) above, its status
and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         Section 5.02. Rights upon Event of Default.

         (a)      If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee may, or if so requested in writing by Holders of Notes representing
at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
Class, upon prior written notice to each Rating Agency, shall declare by written
notice to the Issuer that the Notes become, whereupon they shall become,
immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued interest thereon and
all other amounts due hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this paragraph, if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v)
shall occur and be continuing the Notes shall become immediately due and payable
at par, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder of the Notes. Payments on the Notes upon a declaration of
acceleration of maturity pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance
with Section 2.07(c).

         (b)      At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has
been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the
Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

                  (i)      the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a
         sum sufficient to pay:

                           (A)      all payments of principal of and interest on
                  all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due
                  hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving
                  rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

                           (B)      all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
                  hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
                  disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and
                  counsel and other amounts due and owing to the Trustee
                  pursuant to Section 6.07; and

                  (ii)     all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
         the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
         acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

         No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

                                       36

         Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.

         (a)      The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand of
the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal, at the related Interest Rate and, to the
extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon
overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate 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 Trustee and its agents and counsel.

         (b)      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the 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 the Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

         (c)      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such
appropriate Proceedings as the 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 Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

         (d)      In case 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 Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or in case 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 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 Trustee
shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, 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 Trustee (including any
         claim for reasonable compensation to the 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 Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a
         result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in
         such Proceedings;

                                       37
<PAGE>

                  (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;

                  (iii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
         received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
         Trustee on their behalf; and

                  (iv)     to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
         documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
         of the Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings
         relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; 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 Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
         consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay
         to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
         compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their
         respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
         liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each
         predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

         (e)      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
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 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 Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by
the 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 Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Notes.

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

         Section 5.04. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing the Trustee may (subject to Sections 5.02 and 5.05):

                  (i)      institute Proceedings in its own name and as or on
         behalf of a trustee of an express trust for the collection of all
         amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect
         thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment
         obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such
         Notes amounts then payable and adjudged due;

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (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 any other remedy available to the Trustee and take any other
         appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of
         the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under this Indenture or the
         Notes; and

                  (iv)     sell or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Master
         Servicer to sell or otherwise liquidate, the Trust Estate or any
         portion thereof or rights or interests therein, at one or more public
         or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law
         and deliver the proceeds of such sale or liquidation to the Trustee for
         distribution in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided,
         however, that, except as otherwise provided in the immediately
         succeeding sentence, no such sale or liquidation can be made if the
         proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders
         are not sufficient to pay all outstanding principal of and accrued
         interest on the Notes.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default described in Section
5.01(iii) unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
of the Controlling Class consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation are sufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and unpaid on
such Notes in respect of principal and interest or (C) the 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 they would have become due
if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, the Trustee provides prior
written notice of such sale or liquidation to each Rating Agency and Holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class
consent to such sale or liquidation. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of this paragraph, the 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 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Contracts. If the Notes have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to 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 Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the 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 5.06. Priorities.

         (a)      If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article, it shall deposit all amounts payable to Holders of the Notes into the
Note Distribution Account and distribute such amounts to the such Holders in the
order and priority set forth in Section 2.07(c).

                                       39
<PAGE>

         (b)      The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

         Section 5.07. 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:

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

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

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

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

                  (v)      no direction inconsistent with such written request
         has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
         of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
         Class.

It is 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 or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided.

         In the event the 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 of the
Controlling Class, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action,
if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

         Section 5.08. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, 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 Holder.

         Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such

                                       40
<PAGE>

Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every
such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

         Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the 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 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the 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 Five or by law to the
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case
may be.

         Section 5.12. Control by Noteholders of Controlling Class. The Holders
of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

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

                  (ii)     subject to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction
         to the 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 of the Controlling Class;

                  (iii)    if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been
         satisfied and the Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to
         such Section, then any direction to the Trustee by Holders of Notes
         representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of
         the Controlling Class to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of
         no force and effect; and

                  (iv)     the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
         by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines, in its
sole discretion, might involve it in incurring liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

                                       41

         Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default
and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (i) in payment of
principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which cannot be supplemented, modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. The Issuer shall notify each Rating Agency of any waiver of
a Default or Event of Default.

         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 5.14. 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 suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee,
the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
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 shall not apply to (i)
any suit instituted by the Trustee, (ii) any suit 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, in the case of a right or remedy under
this Indenture which is instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class) or (iii) any suit
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 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that
it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

         Section 5.16. Action on Notes. The 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 Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any

                                       42
<PAGE>

judgment by the 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 Trustee shall be applied in
accordance with Section 5.06.

         Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

         (a)      Promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at
the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the
Seller and the Master Servicer as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale 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 Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of
a Seller or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such
Seller or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

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

                                   THE TRUSTEE

         Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.

         (a)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and
in 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; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(e), the Trustee in performing such
duties shall use the degree of care and skill customarily exercised by a prudent
institutional servicer with respect to automobile retail installment sales
contracts that it services for itself or others.

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

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

                  (ii)     in the absence of bad faith on its part, the 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 Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture; however, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
         opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
         of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Trustee is
         a party.

         (c)      The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct
or bad faith, except that:

                  (i)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section
         6.01(b);

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

                  (iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12.

         (d)      Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to
the Trustee is subject to subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

         (e)      The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it.

         (f)      Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by applicable law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                       44
<PAGE>

         (g)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the 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 repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

         (h)      Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

         (i)      The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will perform all
of the obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

         (j)      Except as otherwise required or permitted by the TIA, nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to engage in any
business operations or any activities other than those set forth in this
Indenture. Specifically, the Trustee shall have no authority to engage in any
business operations, acquire any assets other than those specifically included
in the Trust Estate under this Indenture or otherwise vary the assets held by
the Issuer. Similarly, the Trustee shall have no discretionary duties other than
performing those ministerial acts set forth above necessary to accomplish the
purpose of the Issuer as set forth in this Indenture.

         (k)      In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect,
special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever,
including lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

         (l)      In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances
beyond its control, including acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or
undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any
laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay,
restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this
Indenture.

         Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee.

         (a)      Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02(g) and the second
succeeding sentence, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
acting upon or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, note,
direction, demand, election or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to
any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they
comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.

         (b)      Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer's Certificate (with respect to factual matters) or an Opinion
of Counsel, as applicable. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer's Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel.

                                       45
<PAGE>

         (c)      The 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 Trustee shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any
such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it
hereunder.

         (d)      The 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 Trustee's conduct does not
constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

         (e)      The 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 Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture,
at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes, pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been
cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with
reasonable care and skill.

         (g)      The 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, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of
Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the
Controlling Class; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of each such investigation shall be paid
by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

         Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee is required to comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

         Section 6.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture, the Trust Estate 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 this Indenture or in any document issued in

                                       46
<PAGE>

connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee's
certificate of authentication.

         Section 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the 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 (including payments pursuant to the redemption of Notes), the 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 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall deliver
to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to
prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

         Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited
by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall,
or shall cause the Administrator to, reimburse the 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
Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of
any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify
the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the
Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Administrator to, defend any such claim, and the Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay the fees
and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.

         The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or
removal of the Trustee; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the
Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with
respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

         Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any
time by so notifying the Issuer and the Master Servicer. The Issuer shall remove
the Trustee if:

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

                                       47
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     a court having jurisdiction in the premises in
         respect of the Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under
         federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
         constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
         insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order
         granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
         custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for
         the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee's property, or
         ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee's affairs,
         provided any such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in
         effect for a period of 30 consecutive days;

                  (iii)    the Trustee commences a voluntary case under any
         federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
         constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
         insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or
         taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
         trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the
         Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee's property, or makes
         any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay
         its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in
         furtherance of any of the foregoing;

                  (iv)     the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

                  (v)      the Trustee breaches any representation, warranty or
         covenant made by it under any Basic Document (including any failure or
         delay in the performance of any of its obligations because of
         circumstances beyond its control, as contemplated by Section 6.01(l).

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to
herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee.

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

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to
this Section and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee

                                       48
<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section, the retiring Trustee shall be entitled to payment or
reimbursement of such amounts as such Person is entitled pursuant to Section
6.07.

         Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, that such corporation or
banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section
6.11. The Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency prompt notice of any such
transaction. If, at the time such merger, conversion or consolidation any of the
Notes have been authenticated but not delivered, the successor trustee may adopt
the certificate of authentication of the predecessor trustee and deliver such
Notes so authenticated; and if at that time any of the Notes have not been
authenticated, the successor to the Trustee may authenticate those Notes either
in the name of the predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor
to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full
force such a certificate may have in the Notes or in this Indenture.

         Section 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

         (a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee and
the Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate,
or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee and the
Administrator 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 Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. 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 6.08.

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

                  (i)      all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred
         or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
         exercised or performed by the 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 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 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
         Trustee;

                                       49
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii)    the Trustee and the Administrator 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 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. 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 co-appointment, either jointly with the Trustee
or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Indenture, specifically including every provision relating to the conduct of,
affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Administrator.

         (d)      Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute
the 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
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
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture,
the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

         Section 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification.

         (a)      The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
Section  310(a) and shall in addition have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 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 Section
310(b)(1) are met.

         (b)      If the long term debt rating of the Trustee shall not be at
least "Baa3" from Moody's and "BBB-" from each of Standard & Poor's and Fitch,
the Rating Agencies shall be given notice of such lower long-term debt rating.

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

         Section 6.13. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee
hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer
and Noteholders shall rely:

                  (i)      the Trustee is a corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of
         incorporation; and

                                       50
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     the Trustee has full power, authority and legal right
         to execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken
         all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
         performance by it of this Indenture.

         Section 6.14. Sales Finance Licenses. The Issuer shall take such action
as, in its reasonable judgment, shall be necessary to maintain the effectiveness
of all sales finance company licenses required under the Maryland Code
Annotated, Financial Institutions Section 11-401 et seq. and all licenses
required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act in connection
with this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby until the lien and
security interest of this Indenture shall no longer be in effect in accordance
with the terms hereof.

                      ACCOUNTS, DISBURSEMENTS AND RELEASES

         Section 8.01. Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall
receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any
fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or
receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in
this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any
payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the
Trust Estate, the Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right
to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to
proceed thereafter as provided in Article Five.

         Section 8.02. Trust Accounts.

         (a)      On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause the

of the Sale and Servicing Agreement will be transferred from the Collection
Account or, to the extent required, the Spread Account to the Note Distribution
Account.

         (c)      Subject to Section 2.07(c), on each Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall distribute all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account
in respect of such Distribution Date to Noteholders in respect of the Notes to
the extent of amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest in
the amounts and priority set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

         Section 8.03. General Provisions Regarding Accounts.

         (a)      So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Trust Accounts shall be
invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Trustee upon receipt of
an Issuer Order, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(b) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, all income or other gain from investments of monies
deposited in such Trust Accounts shall be deposited by the Trustee in the
related Trust Account and any loss resulting from such investments shall be
charged to the related Trust

                                       54
<PAGE>

Account. The Issuer will not direct the Trustee to make any investment of any
funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the
security interest Granted and perfected in such account will continue to be
perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case
without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction
to the Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Trustee,
the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the
Trustee, to such effect.

         (b)      Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Trustee shall not in any way
be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts
resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for
losses attributable to the Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal
obligor and not as Trustee, in accordance with their terms.

         (c)      If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment
directions for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Trustee by
11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the
Issuer and Trustee), on any Business Day, (ii) a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes
have not been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such
Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default but
amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in
accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then
the Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds
in the Trust Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments.

         Section 8.04. Release of Trust Estate.

         (a)      Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to
Section 6.07, the Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this
Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this
Indenture, or convey the Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under
circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture.
No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this
Article shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or the application of any monies.

         (b)      The Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and all sums due the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have been
paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes
from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person
entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The Trustee
shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section
8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by (i) an Officer's
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions
precedent provided in this Indenture have been complied with and (ii) if
required by the TIA, Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections
314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

         Section 8.05. Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall receive at least
seven days' notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to
Section 8.04(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the
Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such

                                       55
<PAGE>

action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to
the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not
materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the
Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided,
however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an
opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such
opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and
validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Trustee in
connection with any such action.

         (a)      Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with prior
notice to each Rating Agency, the Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an
Issuer Order, and the other parties hereto at any time and from time to time,
may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform

                  (i)      to correct or amplify the description of any property
         at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or to assure, convey
         or confirm unto the Trustee any property subject or required to be
         subjected to the lien created by this Indenture, or to subject to the
         lien created by this Indenture additional property;

                  (ii)     to evidence the succession, in compliance with the
         applicable provisions hereof, of another Person to the Issuer, and the
         assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein
         and in the Notes contained;

                  (iii)    to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the
         benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to surrender any right or power
         herein conferred upon the Issuer;

                  (iv)     to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any

         provision herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be
         inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental
         indenture or the other Basic Documents or to make any other provisions
         with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in
         any supplemental indenture that shall not be inconsistent with the
         provisions of this Indenture; provided that such action shall not
         adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes or result in
         the creation of a new security;

                  (vi)     to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
         appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes
         and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
         shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts
         hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of
         Article Six; or

                  (vii)    to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
         Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
         qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar
         federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such
         other provisions as may he expressly required by the TIA.

         The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the exemption of any such
supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained.

         (b)      The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes, enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action
must satisfy the Rating Agency Condition and shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder or result in the creation of a new security.

         Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, and with the consent
of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes

hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided,
however, that such action must satisfy the Rating Agency Condition and no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby:

                  (i)      change the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any
         Class of Notes or the date of payment of any installment of principal
         of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the
         interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto,
         change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of
         collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to
         payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place
         of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the
         interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for
         the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the
         application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article Five,
         to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
         respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or
         after the Redemption Date);

                  (ii)     reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
         the Notes or the Notes of the Controlling Class, the consent of the
         Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or
         the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of
         compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
         defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
         Indenture;

                  (iii)    modify or alter (A) the provisions of the second
         proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding" or (B) the
         definition of "Controlling Class";

                  (iv)     reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
         the Notes or the Notes of the Controlling Class required to direct the

         or amend the provisions of this Article which specify the percentage of
         the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Notes of the Controlling
         Class, as applicable, required to amend this Indenture or the other
         Basic Documents;

                  (v)      modify any provision of this Section except to
         increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain
         additional provisions of this Indenture or the

                                       58
<PAGE>

         other Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent
         of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

                  (vi)     modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in
         such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment
         of interest or principal due on any Note on any Distribution Date
         (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such
         calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the
         benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes
         contained herein; or

                  (vii)    permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or
         on a parity with the lien created by this Indenture with respect to any
         part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or
         contemplated herein, terminate the lien created by this Indenture on
         any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any
         Note of the security provided by the lien created by this Indenture,
         and further provided that any such action will not, as evidenced by an
         Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, result in the creation
         of a new security.

         The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes
would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall
be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
such determination made in good faith.

         It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

         Promptly after the execution by the parties hereto of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the
Notes 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 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.

         Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by
this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to
Sections 6.01 and 6.02 shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of
the parties hereto and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and

                                       59
<PAGE>

amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture
shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture
for any and all purposes.

         Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

         Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new
Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer,
to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
Notes.

         (a)      In the event that the Seller, pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, purchases all the remaining Contracts of the
Trust, the Notes are subject to redemption on the Distribution Date on which
such repurchase occurs, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price;
provided, however, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the

each Rating Agency notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed
pursuant to this Section 10.01 (a), the Master Servicer or the Issuer shall
furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than 20 days prior to
the Redemption Date and the Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the
purchase of the Contracts of the Trust received from the Seller or the
Certificateholders, as the case may be, into the Collection Account, whereupon
the Trustee, at the direction of the Master Servicer, shall deposit the
Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed, whereupon all such Notes shall be
due and payable in accordance with Section 9.01(e) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with
Section 10.02 to each Holder of the Notes.

         (b)      In the event that the assets of the Issuer are sold pursuant
to Section 5.04 of this Indenture, the proceeds of such sale shall be

Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Issuer
shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Trustee
not later than 20 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts
shall be payable on the Redemption Date.

         Section 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice.

         (a)      Notice of redemption under Section 10.01(a) shall be given by
the Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close

Holder's address appearing in the Note Register. In addition, the Administrator
shall notify the Rating Agencies upon the redemption of any Class of Notes,
pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) of the Administration Agreement.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i)      the Redemption Date;

                  (ii)     the Redemption Price;

                  (iii)    the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for
         payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of
         the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and

                  (iv)     that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price
         will become due and payable upon each Note and that interest thereon
         shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date.

         Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give any required notice of
redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or
affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

         (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior notice of redemption
under Section 10.01(b) is not required to be given to Noteholders.

         Section 10.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption (if any) as
required by Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the
Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any
period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

         (a)      Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from
a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of
this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any such application
or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required
by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

         Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

                  (i)      a statement that each signatory of such certificate
         or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition
         and the definitions herein relating thereto;

                  (ii)     a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
         examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
         contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

                  (iii)    a statement that, in the opinion of each such
         signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as
         is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as
         to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;
         and

                  (iv)     a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each
         such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

         (b)      (i)      Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other
property or securities with the Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property subject to the lien created by this Indenture, the
Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of the signer thereof such certificate as to
the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral
or other property or securities to be so deposited.

                  (ii)     Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
         Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
         any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the
         Issuer shall also deliver to the Trustee an Independent Certificate as
         to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the property to
         be so deposited and of all other such property made the basis of any
         such withdrawal or release

                                       63
<PAGE>

         since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer,
         as set forth in the Officer's Certificates delivered pursuant to clause
         (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding
         Amount of the Notes, but such Officer's Certificate need not be
         furnished with respect to any property so deposited, if the fair value
         thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate
         is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding Amount
         of the Notes.

                  (iii)    Other than with respect to any release described in
         clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), whenever any property or
         securities are to be released from the lien created by this Indenture,
         the Issuer shall also furnish to the 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 created by this Indenture in contravention of the provisions
         hereof.

                  (iv)     Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
         Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
         any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above,
         the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee an Independent Certificate
         as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities
         and of all other property (other than property described in clauses (A)
         or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v)) or securities released from the lien
         created by this Indenture since the commencement of the then current
         fiscal year, as set forth in the Officer's Certificates required by
         clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the
         Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such Officer's Certificate need
         not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities
         if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer's
         Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then
         Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

                  (v)      Notwithstanding Section 2.12 or any other provision
         of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the other
         provisions of this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise
         dispose of the Contracts as and to the extent permitted or required by
         the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust
         Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
         Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee every six
         months, commencing June 15, 2004, an Officer's Certificate stating that
         all the dispositions of Collateral described in clauses (A) or (B) that
         occurred during the preceding six calendar months were in the ordinary
         course of the Issuer's business and that the proceeds thereof were
         applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

         Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 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.

                                       64
<PAGE>

         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 Master Servicer, a Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Master Servicer,
such Seller or the Issuer, unless such officer or 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.

         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.

         Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the 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 Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of
any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article
Six.

         Section 11.03. 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 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 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 6.01) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.

         (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 Trustee deems
sufficient.

         (c)      The ownership of Notes shall be provided by the Note Register.

         (d)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder
of every Note issued upon the

                                       65
<PAGE>

registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

         Section 11.04. Notices, etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.

         (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver, communication or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided

         or any other address furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer.

         (b)      Any notice required to be given to the Rating Agencies

         (iii)    if to Fitch, to:

                  Fitch Ratings
                  One State Street Plaza

                  Attention: Asset Backed Securities - Auto Group, 32nd Floor;
                  55 Water Street
                  New York, New York  10041
                  Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department

         or as to any of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be
designated by written notice to the other parties.

         Section 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his 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. In any case where 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.

         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 Trustee but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

         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 Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.

         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 a Default or
Event of Default

         Section 11.06. 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 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 will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement

                                       67
<PAGE>

and the Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in
accordance with such agreements.

         Section 11.07. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. 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 Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

         The provisions of TIA Sections 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 11.08. 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 11.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

         Section 11.10. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

         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, and the Noteholders, 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. In any case where 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 CALIFORNIA AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS,
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, EXCEPT THAT THE DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         Section 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

                                       68
<PAGE>

         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 Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable
to the 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 Trustee under this Indenture.

         Section 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other
writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Trustee
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficiary
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the 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 installment or call owing to such entity. For
all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of
the Trust Agreement.

         Section 11.17. No Petition. The parties hereto, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in
a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute
against either Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution against either
Seller 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 Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.

         Section 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer's
normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and
other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such
books to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss
the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's officers,
employees and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested, the Trustee shall and shall
cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to
the extent disclosure may be required by applicable law (and all reasonable
applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent
that the Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent
with its obligations hereunder.

         Section 11.19. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has
been countersigned by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer
and in no event shall Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in

                                       69
<PAGE>

its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability
for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the
assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of
any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of
Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.

         Section 11.20. Limitation on Recourse Against WFSRC4. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the obligations of WFSRC4
under the Basic Documents are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC4, and
shall be payable by WFSRC4, solely as provided the Basic Documents. WFSRC4 shall
only be required to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities
that it may incur under the Basic Documents from funds available pursuant to,
and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in this Indenture and
(ii) to the extent WFSRC4 has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC4 incurred in
accordance with WFSRC4's certificate of incorporation and all financing
documents to which WFSRC4 is a party. The agreement set forth in the preceding
sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no amount owing by WFSRC4 hereunder
in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of
the Bankruptcy Code) against it.

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Auto Receivable Backed
Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 1.08% Class A-1 Notes (the "Class A-1
Notes"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2004 (the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this 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.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes
(collectively, the "Notes") are and, except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will be equally and ratably
secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

         Principal payable on the Class A-1 Notes will be paid on each
Distribution Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Class A-1 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes shall be due and payable
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, as described in
the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro
rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

         Payments of principal and interest on this Note due and payable on each
Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person
whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the
related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by
any payments made on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be binding
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this
Note on a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, then the Trustee, in the name of
and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date by notice mailed within 20 days of such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or at the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes
located in The City of New York.

         As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to the
Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Seller, on any
Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the
Aggregate Principal Balance is less than or equal to $150,000,000.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (i) the 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 Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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 installment or call owing to such entity.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture and such Note that such Noteholder or
Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or
join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any
United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any
obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

         The Issuer has entered into the Indenture, and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each
Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat
the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer and the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such
other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing
specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Notes of the
Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive
compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend
or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

         The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws, except that the duties of the Trustee under the Indenture shall be
governed by New York law.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Auto Receivable Backed
Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.19% Class A-3 Notes (the "Class A-3

trustee (the "Trustee"), 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this 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.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, Class

(collectively, the "Notes") are and, except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will be equally and ratably
secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

         Principal payable on the Class A-3 Notes will be paid on each

Servicing Agreement. As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Class A-3 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A-3 Notes shall be due and payable

Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person
whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the
related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by
any payments made on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be binding
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this
Note on a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, then the Trustee, in the name of
and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date by notice mailed within 20 days of such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon

Trustee or at the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes

         As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to the
Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Seller, on any

forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency

transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,

beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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 installment or call owing to such entity.

secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each
Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat

purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the

Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee
to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this 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.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the

Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the
related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record

to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it

upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this
Note on a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, then the Trustee, in the name of

Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Seller, on any
Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the

transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (i) the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii)

beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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

United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any
obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each
Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat
the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee
to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
