Indenture Trustee, to act as successor Note Registrar under this Indenture.

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

         (b) Upon the proper 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, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of
the same Class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

         (c) At the option of the 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, the Issuer shall execute,
and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain
from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed
by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

         (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

         (e) All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser,
the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the

                                       10

<PAGE>

same Class. In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section
2.05, the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto.

         If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a protected purchaser of the original Note in
lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Note (or such payment) from 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, 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 Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 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 of the same Class duly issued
hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 2.05 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 Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the 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, and none of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 2.07 Payments of Principal and Interest.

         (a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, and
the Class A-4 Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period at the
Class A-1 Rate, the Class A-2 Rate, the Class A-3 Rate, and the Class A-4 Rate,
respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each related Distribution
Date as specified in the applicable Note by applying amounts available pursuant
to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and to Section 3.01 of this
Indenture. Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Note that is
punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable
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 wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, except
for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a
Distribution Date or on the applicable Final Scheduled Distribution Date, which
shall be payable as provided below.

                                       11

<PAGE>

         (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Distribution Date by applying amounts available pursuant to Section 5.06 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid,
from and after the date on which the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class
(excluding for such purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held
of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates,
unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 in connection
with an Event of Default. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be
made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The Indenture
Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the
final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile not less than 15 nor more
than 30 days prior to such final Distribution Date, shall specify that such
final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such
Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and
surrendered for payment of such installment.

         SECTION 2.08 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be
promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver
to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee.
No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled
as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in
accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the
time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or
returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have
not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.09 Release of Collateral. Subject to Sections 8.05 and 11.01
and the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release
property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent
Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) 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 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to
be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, or a
custodian therefor, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall
be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof will receive a
Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as
provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes
(the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12:

                                       12

<PAGE>

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

         (b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions
or directions hereunder) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;

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

         (d) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the
Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until
Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such
Clearing Agency Participants; and

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

         SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Clearing Agency and shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of
delivery to the Clearing Agency.

         SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Seller, the Owner Trustee or
the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing
Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities
with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Seller, the Owner Trustee and the
Administrator are unable to locate a qualified successor (and if the
Administrator has made such determination, the Administrator has given written
notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee), (ii) the Seller, the Indenture Trustee
or the Administrator at its option advises each other such party in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or
(iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note
Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes of all Classes advise the Indenture Trustee and
the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency or a successor thereto is no longer in the best
interests of the Note Owners acting together as a single Class, then the
Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note
Owners requesting

                                       13

<PAGE>

the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, Issuer
and Administrator shall not be liable for any inability to locate a qualified
successor Clearing Agency. From and after the date of issuance of Definitive
Notes, all notices to be given to Noteholders will be mailed thereto at their
addresses of record in the Note Register as of the relevant Record Date. Such
notices will be deemed to have been given as of the date of mailing.

         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 or, for periods during
which there is a single beneficial owner of the Certificates, indebtedness of
the Certificateholder issued by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a 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.

                                   ARTICLE III
                    Covenants, Representations and Warranties

         SECTION 3.01 Payment of Principal and Interest. In accordance with the
terms of this Indenture, the Issuer will duly and punctually (i) pay the
principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of
the Notes and (ii) cause the Servicer to direct the Indenture Trustee to release
from the Collection Account all other amounts distributable or payable from the
Owner Trust Estate under the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the Administration Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and in order to
fulfill such obligations, pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 8.03 hereof, the Issuer
will cause the Servicer to direct the Indenture Trustee to apply all amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Yield Supplement
Account on a Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (i) (a) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class
A-1 Noteholders, (b) for the benefit of the Class A-2 Notes, to the Class A-2
Noteholders, (c) for the benefit of the Class A-3 Notes, to the Class A-3
Noteholders, and (d) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the Class A-4
Noteholders, and (ii) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to or as
directed by the Owner Trustee or the Administrator, as set forth in Section
5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly
withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of
interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer
to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

         SECTION 3.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices and demands to or upon

                                       14

<PAGE>

the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture
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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 8.02 and 8.03, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection
Account, the Reserve Account or the Yield Supplement Account pursuant to
Sections 8.02 and 8.03 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture
Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from such accounts
for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Administrator except as provided in this Section.

         On or before each Distribution Date, the Issuer shall deposit in the
Collection Account or, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
cause to be deposited (including the provision of instructions to the Indenture
Trustee to make any required withdrawals from the Reserve Account or the Yield
Supplement Account and to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account), an
aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes
and the Certificates, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee)
shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

         The Indenture Trustee, as Paying Agent, hereby agrees with the Issuer
that it will, and the Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the
Indenture Trustee, as a condition to its acceptance of its appointment as Paying
Agent, to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

         (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
respect to the Notes or Certificates or for release to the Issuer for payment on
the Certificates 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 or release such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

         (b) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or
any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making
of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes or the release of
any amounts to the Issuer to be paid to the Certificateholders;

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

                                       15

<PAGE>

         (d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes (or for
release to the Issuer) 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

         (e) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes or Certificates (or
assisting the Issuer to withhold from payment to the Certificateholders) 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 Indenture Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed after such
amount has become due and payable and after the Indenture Trustee has taken the
steps described in this paragraph shall be discharged from such trust and be
paid to Children's Hospital Los Angeles upon presentation thereto of an Issuer
Request; 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
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall
thereupon cease. In the event that any Noteholder shall not surrender its Notes
for retirement within six months after the date specified in the written notice
of final payment described in Section 2.07, the Indenture Trustee will give a
second written notice to the registered Noteholders that have not surrendered
their Notes for final payment and retirement. If within one year after such
second notice any Notes have not been surrendered, the Indenture Trustee shall,
at the expense and direction 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 paid to Children's Hospital Los
Angeles. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and
direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such
repayment specified by the Issuer or the Administrator.

         SECTION 3.04 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
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 of
America, 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
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or the Owner Trust Estate.

                                       16

<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.05 Protection of 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, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

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

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

         (c) enforce any of the Collateral; or

         (d) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of
all persons and parties.

         The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

         SECTION 3.06 Opinions as to Trust Estate.

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the
execution, recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental
hereto, any requisite financing statements and continuation statements and any
other requisite documents necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and
security interest of this Indenture or stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest
effective.

         (b) As and when specified in Section 10.02(h) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording,
filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and
any other requisite documents necessary to maintain the lien and security
interest created by this Indenture or stating that in the opinion of such
counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest.
Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the execution, recording, filing or
re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto,
any financing statements and continuation statements and any other documents
that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and
security interest of this Indenture until the date in the following calendar
year on which such Opinion of Counsel must again be delivered.

         SECTION 3.07 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

         (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person
from any of such Person's material

                                       17

<PAGE>

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.

         (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties
by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of
the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the
Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

         (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in the Basic Documents and in the
instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not
limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and
continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of the Trust
Agreement, this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance
with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

         (d) If an Authorized Officer of the Issuer shall have knowledge of the
occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies
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 Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall
take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

         (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination
to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall
accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed
and accepted its appointment as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall
automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and shall thereafter be
entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture
Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, and the predecessor Servicer, if no
successor Servicer has been appointed at the time the predecessor Servicer has
ceased to act, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and
whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or
light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be
released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such
release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered
into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.

         In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such
Successor Servicer shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in

                                       18

<PAGE>

accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall enter into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of
the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's
duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its
individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and,
accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the
Indenture Trustee in its duties as Successor Servicer and the servicing of the
Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as a subservicer any one of
its Affiliates, provided that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as
Successor Servicer, shall remain fully liable for the actions and omissions of
such Affiliate.

         (f) Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the
Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer
shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such
notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

         (g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of a majority in
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class (excluding for such
purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or
beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates, unless at such
time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC
or any of their Affiliates), amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or
surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver, supplement,
termination or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent
otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) or the Basic Documents,
or waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that any such amendment shall not (A)
increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the
timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that are
required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or change the Interest
Rate or the Specified Reserve Account Balance (except as otherwise provided in
the Basic Documents), in each case without the consent of each of the "adversely
affected" Noteholders, or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that
is required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders
of all the outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or
waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, the
Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to agree to
such amendment and to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own
expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the
Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances to
implement such amendment and to cause the relevant Basic Documents, as amended,
to be enforceable against the Issuer. For the purposes of clause (ii) above, an
amendment will be deemed not to "adversely affect" a Noteholder of any Class
only if each Rating Agency confirms that such amendment will not result in a
reduction or withdrawal of its rating on such Class of Notes.

         SECTION 3.08 Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding,
the Issuer shall not:

                                       19

<PAGE>

         (a) except as expressly permitted by Basic Documents, sell, transfer,
exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer,
including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the
Indenture Trustee;

         (b) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or
interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld
from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any present or
former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon
any part of the Trust Estate;

         (c) except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (A) permit the
validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien
of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or
discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or
obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture, (B) permit any lien,
charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other
than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise
arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest
therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics' liens and
other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed
Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related
Obligor), (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first
priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics' or other lien)
security interest in the Trust Estate, or (D) dissolve or liquidate in whole or
in part; or

         (d) assume or incur any indebtedness other than the Notes or as
expressly contemplated by this Indenture (in connection with the obligation to
reimburse Advances from the Trust Estate, or to pay expenses from the Trust
Estate) or by the Basic Documents as in effect on the date hereof.

         SECTION 3.09 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will cause
the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee concurrently with its delivery
thereof to the Issuer the annual statement of compliance described in Section
4.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, on the same date annually
upon which such annual statement of compliance is to be delivered by the
Servicer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's
Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer's
Certificate, that:

         (a) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of
its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized
Officer's supervision; and

         (b) to the best of such Authorized Officer's knowledge, based on such
review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under this
Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in its
compliance with any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default
known to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

         SECTION 3.10 Issuer May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

         (a) The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other
Person, unless:

                  (i)      the Person (if other than the Issuer) formed by or
         surviving such consolidation or merger shall be a Person organized and
         existing under the laws of the

         shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed
         and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to the
         Indenture Trustee, the duty to make due and punctual payment of the
         principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or
         observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the
         part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein;

                  (ii)     immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
         no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                  (iii)    no Rating Agency shall have notified the Indenture
         Trustee and the Owner Trustee that such transaction might or would
         result in the removal or reduction of the rating then assigned thereby
         to any Class of Notes;

                  (iv)     the Issuer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
         (and shall have delivered copies thereof to the Indenture Trustee) to

         consequence to the Issuer, any Noteholder or any Certificateholder;

                  (v)      any action that is necessary to maintain each lien

         Servicing Agreement or this Indenture shall have been taken; and

                  (vi)     the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture

         been complied with (including any filing required by the Exchange Act).

         (b) The Issuer shall not convey or transfer any of its properties or
assets, including those included in the Trust Estate, to any Person, unless:

                  (i)      the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer
         such properties and assets of the Issuer shall (A) be a United States
         citizen or a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United
         States of America or any state or the District of Columbia, (B)
         expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and
         delivered to the Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to the
         Indenture Trustee, the duty to make due and punctual payment of the
         principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or
         observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the
         part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein,
         (C) expressly agrees by means of such supplemental indenture that all
         right, title and interest so conveyed or transferred shall be subject
         and subordinate to the rights of Holders of the Notes, (D) unless
         otherwise provided in such supplemental indenture, expressly agrees to
         indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and
         the Indenture Trustee against and from any loss, liability or expense
         arising under or related to this Indenture and the Notes, and (E)
         expressly agrees by means of such supplemental indenture that such
         Person (or if a group of Persons, then one specified Person) shall make

                                       21

warranties in this Section 3.21 without the written consent of at least a

unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates).

         (a) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture
Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable
as such as against creditors of any purchasers from the Issuer.

         (b) The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security
interest against the Obligor in the property securing the Receivables.

         (c) The Collateral constitutes "tangible chattel paper" within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.

         (d) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral
free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

         (e) 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 Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

         (f) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted
a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuer
has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Issuer that includes a description of collateral covering the
Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest
granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or a financing statement as to which
the security interest covering

                                       24

the Receivables has been released. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or
tax lien filings against the Issuer.

         (g) The Servicer, as an agent of the Issuer, has in its possession all
original copies of the Receivable File that constitute or evidence the
Collateral. The Receivable Files that constitute or evidence the Collateral do
not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned
or otherwise conveyed by the Issuer to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in
favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Collateral
contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security interest
in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as permitted in
the Indenture, will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee."

and (vi) the rights of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the

the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand
of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according
to Section 3.03 or 4.02 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such moneys.

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 petition shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days; or

         (f) 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 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 any action by the
Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

         The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five Business
Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer's
Certificate of any Default that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time
would become an Event of Default under clause (d), stating the status of such
Default and any action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

         SECTION 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, voting as a single class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding
principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC
II or any of their Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes are held of
record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates) may
declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon
any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall
become immediately due and payable.

         At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single
class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount

                                       27

<PAGE>

of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of
their Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or
beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

         (a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Securities Intermediary
in the name of the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

                  (i)      all payments of principal of and interest on the
         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

                  (ii)     all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
         hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
         advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

         (b) 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 5.12.

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

         SECTION 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.

         (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of
any interest on any Note, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to
the Notes, when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for
a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal
of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and
payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon
the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall
be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne
by the Notes and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and
its agents and counsel.

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

         (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and,
incidentally thereto, the Certificateholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as
the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and

                                       28

<PAGE>

enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by 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, then, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

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

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

                  (iii)    to collect and receive any moneys 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
         Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any
         judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its
         property.

         Any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official
in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred,

                                       29

<PAGE>

and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture
Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

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

         (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any
Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

         SECTION 5.04 Remedies; Priorities.

         (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
result in the acceleration of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall make
payments on the Notes and to the Owner Trustee as set forth in Section 5.06(d)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, rather than pursuant to Section 5.06(c)
thereof.

         (b) If the Indenture Trustee, in compliance with Section 5.04(a), is
deemed to have a conflict of interest under the TIA and is required to resign as
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer shall, pursuant to Section 6.08, cause
the Servicer to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

         (c) In accordance with Section 5.04(b), if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.05):

                  (i)      institute Proceedings in its own name and as 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 moneys adjudged
         due;

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

                                       30

<PAGE>

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

                  (iv)     sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
         rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
         called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however,
         that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the
         Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of
         Default described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), unless (A) the Holders of
         100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class,
         consent thereto (but excluding for purposes of such vote all Notes held
         or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates,
         unless at such time all of the Notes are held or beneficially owned by
         NMAC, NARC II and their Affiliates), or (B) the proceeds of such sale
         or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to
         discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for
         principal and interest, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that
         the Trust Estate may not continue to provide sufficient funds on an
         ongoing basis to make all payments of principal of and interest on the
         Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared
         due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of
         Holders of a 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as
         a single class (but excluding for purposes of such vote all Notes held
         or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates,
         unless at such time all of the Notes are held or beneficially owned by
         NMAC, NARC II and their Affiliates). In determining such sufficiency or
         insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee
         may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
         investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
         feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
         Trust Estate for such purpose.

         (d) The Indenture 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 Indenture
Trustee a notice that states the related record date, payment date and amount to
be paid.

         SECTION 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Receivables. 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 Indenture Trustee may, unless otherwise directed by the Holders of
at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single
class (excluding from such action and calculation any Notes held by NMAC, NARC
II or any of their Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes are held of
record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), but
need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and direct the
Issuer, Servicer and Administrator not to take steps to liquidate the
Receivables. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that
there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into
account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust
Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

                                       31

         SECTION 5.06 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 such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, and:

         (a) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit
payments when due; or

         (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, voting as a single class (excluding for such purpose the outstanding
principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II,
NMAC or any of their Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes are held
of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates)
have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding
in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
hereunder and have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such
request, the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings, and no
direction inconsistent with that written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during the 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal
amount of those outstanding Notes (or relevant class or classes of Notes).

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

         SECTION 5.07 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, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (in each case with reference to the calculations to be made pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement) 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 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all

                                       32

<PAGE>

rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue
as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

         SECTION 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

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

         SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class (excluding for such
purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or
beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates, unless at such
time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC
or any of their Affiliates), shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

         (b) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the
Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than the
applicable percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes set forth in
Section 5.04(c)(iv); and

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

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

         SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 or the
liquidation or sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04, the Holders of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class
(excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held
of record or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates,
unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates) may waive any past Default or Event of
Default and its

                                       33

<PAGE>

consequences except a Default or Event of Default in (a) the deposit of
collections or other required amounts, (b) any required payment from amounts
held in Accounts in respect of amounts due on the Notes, (c) payment of
principal or interest on the Notes, or (d) an Event of Default in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively.

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

         SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note or Note Owner by such Holder's acceptance of
such Note or beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, 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 Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture 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 (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or a group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, (c) 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.

         SECTION 5.14 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 advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

         SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any
of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(a).

                                       34

<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

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

         (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing
or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class
(excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held
of record or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates,
unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), shall, exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer
under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement, or against the Administrator under the Administration Agreement,
including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance
or observance by the Seller, the Servicer or the Administrator, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension, or waiver thereunder and any right of the Issuer
to take such action shall be suspended.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                              The Indenture Trustee

         SECTION 6.01 Duties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee, both
prior to and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture.

         (a) The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall
examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements
of this Indenture.

         (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided,
however, that:

                                       35

<PAGE>

                  (i)      the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee
         shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture,
         the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
         such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
         Indenture, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
         Indenture against the Indenture Trustee, the permissive right of the
         Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not
         be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
         the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as
         to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
         expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
         Indenture Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of
         this Indenture;

                  (ii)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable
         for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer,
         unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in
         performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
         and

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable
         with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in
         good faith in accordance with the direction of (i) the Holders of at
         least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a
         single class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal
         amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II,
         NMAC or any of their Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes
         are held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of
         their Affiliates), relating to the time, method and place of conducting
         any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or
         exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee
         under this Indenture.

         (c) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties under this Indenture, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

         (d) All information obtained by the Indenture Trustee regarding the
Obligors and the Receivables contained in the Trust, whether upon the exercise
of its rights under this Indenture or otherwise, shall be maintained by the
Indenture Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person,
unless such disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation or
pursuant to subpoena.

         (e) If (i) pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee discovers that a
representation or warranty with respect to a Receivable was incorrect as of the
time specified with respect to such representation and warranty and such
incorrectness materially and adversely affects such Receivable, or (ii) pursuant
to Section 4.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture Trustee discovers that a covenant of the Servicer has been
breached with respect to a Receivable that would materially and adversely affect
such Receivable, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee of such incorrectness.

         SECTION 6.02 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

                  (i)      the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected
         in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
         Certificate, certificate of an authorized signatory, certificate of
         auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
         report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
         or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
         presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (ii)     the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and
         any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
         protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
         under this Indenture in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
         of Counsel;

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
         exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or
         the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend
         any litigation under this Indenture, or in relation to this Indenture
         or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction
         of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture
         or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless such Noteholders shall have
         offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
         against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
         therein or thereby;

                  (iv)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable
         for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
         reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
         rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

                  (v)      the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to
         recalculate, reverify, or make any investigation into the facts of
         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
         Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate
         Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, however, that if the payment
         within a reasonable time to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, not
         reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to
         it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require
         reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
         condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such
         examination shall be paid by the Administrator or, if paid by the
         Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Administrator upon
         demand; and nothing in this clause shall derogate from the obligation
         of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
         information regarding the Obligors; and

                  (vi)     the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts
         or powers under this Indenture or perform any duties under this
         Indenture either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a
         custodian.

                                       37

<PAGE>

         (b) No Noteholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to this Indenture except upon satisfying the conditions set forth in
Section 5.06.

         SECTION 6.03 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the Holder,
beneficial 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 Indenture
Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may
do the same with like rights. However, in so doing the Indenture Trustee must
comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

         SECTION 6.04 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or
of the Notes (other than the execution by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Trust of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Notes), or of the
Certificates. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of
the duties of the Servicer or the Administrator unless explicitly set forth in
this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility
or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of
the Notes or any Receivable, any ownership interest in any Financed Vehicle, or
the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or for or with respect to the
efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed
to Noteholders under this Indenture, including without limitation the validity
of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of any intervening
assignment; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Receivable
or Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or
credit life or credit disability insurance; the existence and contents of any
retail installment sales contract or any computer or other record thereof; the
completeness of any retail installment sales contract; the performance or
enforcement of any retail installment sales contract; the compliance by the
Issuer with any covenant or the breach by the Issuer, Seller or Servicer of any
warranty or representation made under this Indenture or in any Basic Document or
other related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation
prior to the Indenture Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any
noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the
Issuer, Seller or the Servicer; or any action by the Indenture Trustee taken at
the instruction of the Servicer, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this
Indenture. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Indenture
Trustee to perform its duties under this Indenture or based on the Indenture
Trustee's willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had
for any claim based on any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or
Certificates or assignment thereof against the institution serving as the
Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity. The Indenture Trustee shall not
have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Noteholder or
any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be
asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity
as provided in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or of the proceeds
of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer
in respect of the Notes.

         SECTION 6.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee knows that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of such Default within 10
days of the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may

                                       38

<PAGE>

withhold such 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 Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of
record such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee shall also deliver
or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record a report relating
to its eligibility and qualification to continue as Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture, any amounts advanced by it under this Indenture, the amount, interest
rate and maturity date of certain indebtedness owed by the Trust to such
Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity, the property and funds physically
held by such Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such, and any action taken by
it that materially affects the Notes and that has not been previously reported.

         SECTION 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the
Servicer to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer
shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection and
the costs of implementing any Swap Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02, in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Administrator
shall indemnify or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee
against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Administrator and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Administrator and
the Servicer shall not relieve the Administrator or the Servicer of its
obligations hereunder. The Administrator shall defend or shall cause the
Servicer to defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Administrator shall pay or shall cause the Servicer to pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Administrator nor the Servicer
need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

         The Administrator's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 5.01(f) or (g) 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 Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by providing written notice of its resignation to the
Issuer. The Administrator may remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

                                       39

<PAGE>

         (b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

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

         (d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally or practically
incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder.

         If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Servicer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.

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

         If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding
Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section
6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Indenture Trustee if such surviving Person or transferee
corporation or banking shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section
6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer, the Servicer and the
Rating Agencies reasonable prior written notice of any such transaction.

         In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so

                                       40

<PAGE>

authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

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

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located or for the purpose
of implementing any Swap Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02, the
Indenture Trustee 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, 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 Indenture Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a 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 hereof.

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

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

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

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

         (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its

                                       41

<PAGE>

acceptance of the trusts thereupon conferred, shall be vested with the estates
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, including every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Indenture Trustee.

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

         SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall
at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it or its
parent shall have a long-term debt rating of "Baa3" or better by Moody's or
shall otherwise be acceptable to Moody's. The Indenture Trustee shall comply
with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the
second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); 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.

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

         SECTION 6.13 Acknowledgement by Indenture Trustee of its Obligations
Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees and
consents to the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to it
(including, without limitation, Sections 5.06, 5.07, 5.09 thereof) and agrees to
be bound by such provisions.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                         Noteholders' Lists and Reports

         SECTION 7.01 Note Registrar To Furnish Names and Addresses of
Noteholders. The Note Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Administrator, within
15 days after receipt by the Note Registrar of a written request therefrom, a
list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of any Class as of the most
recent Record Date. If three or more Noteholders, or one or more Holders
evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (hereinafter
referred to as "Applicants"), apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and
such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other
Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes
and such application is accompanied by a copy of the

                                       42

<PAGE>

communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture
Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application,
afford such Applicants access, during normal business hours, to the current list
of Noteholders. Such Indenture Trustee may elect not to afford the requesting
Noteholders access to the list of Noteholders if it agrees to mail the desired
communication by proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of the requesting
Noteholders, to all Noteholders. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a
Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that none of the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer or the
Administrator shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders under this
Indenture, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

         If the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be the Note Registrar, then
thereafter the Administrator will furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Indenture Trustee not more than five days after the most recent Record Date or
at such other times as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may request in writing,
a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may require, of the
names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of such Record Date.

         (d) The Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on

         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 Collection Account shall be
invested in Eligible Investments and

                                       45

<PAGE>

reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Servicer,
subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection
Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account
and paid to the Servicer as servicing compensation on any Business Day on or
after which such amount is deposited in the Collection Account, and any loss
resulting from such investments shall be charged to such account. The Servicer
will not direct the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer
not, to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the
Collection Account 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 Indenture Trustee to make any such
investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

         (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Reserve Account and the

Sale and Servicing Agreement and the provisions of the Securities Account
Control Agreement. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited

any Business Day on or after which such amount is deposited in the Reserve
Account. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the
Yield Supplement Account shall be deposited into the Collection Account on each
Distribution Date. Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make
withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the
amounts set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller
and not the property of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.
The Seller will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible Investments)
in the Reserve Account (including the Reserve Account Initial Deposit) and the
proceeds thereof, and the Issuer will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the
benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible
Investments) in the Yield Supplement Account and the proceeds thereof, and the
Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC
with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of funds in
the Reserve Account, and the right to receive such income are retained by the
Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder; and
provided, further, that amounts on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account in
excess of the Required Yield Supplement Amount will be deposited into the
Collection Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of Section
5.06(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer will not direct the
Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment
held in the Reserve Account or the Yield Supplement Account 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 Indenture
Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

<PAGE>

         (c) Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any
way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account, the
Reserve Account or the Yield Supplement Account resulting from any loss on any
Eligible Investment included therein at the direction of the Servicer, except
for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on
such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial
capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with the terms
thereof.

         (d) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions
for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account or the
Yield Supplement Account, to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or
such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and Indenture Trustee) on any
Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared
due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been
declared due and payable following an Event of Default, 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 Indenture Trustee
shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the
Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or
(vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments provided in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee invests and reinvests funds in the
Reserve Account or the Yield Supplement Account pursuant to clause (ii) or
clause (iii) above, the Indenture Trustee shall issue a prohibition notice to
the securities intermediary as provided in the Securities Account Control
Agreement. If the Default or Event of Default that caused the Indenture Trustee
to assume control over the investment of funds in the Reserve Account and Yield
Supplement Account has been waived and the acceleration, if any, of the Notes
has been rescinded, the Indenture Trustee shall issue a rescission of
prohibition notice to the securities intermediary as provided in the Securities
Account Control Agreement.

         SECTION 8.04 Release of Trust Estate.

         (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section
6.07, the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee
as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture
Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
or see to the application of any moneys.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
outstanding and all sums due the Indenture 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 or to the order of the
Issuer, or, in the case of the Reserve Account or the Yield Supplement Account,
to the Seller, any funds entitled thereto then on deposit in the Collection
Account, the Reserve Account and the Yield Supplement Account, as the case may
be. The Indenture 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 an Officer's Certificate and (if required by the TIA)

                                       47

<PAGE>

Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1)
meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

         SECTION 8.05 Release of Receivables Upon Purchase by the Seller or the
Servicer. (a) Upon repurchase of any Receivable by the Seller pursuant to
Section 3.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any purchase of any
Receivable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06 or Section 9.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders,
shall, without further action, be deemed to release from the Lien of this
Indenture such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with
respect thereto and all proceeds thereof and the other property with respect to
such Receivable, and all security and any documents relating thereto, and the
Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such Receivable,
and all such related security and documents, free of any further obligation to
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect thereto.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments
and take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller or
the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the release of such Receivable
pursuant hereto and the assignment of such Receivable by the Issuer pursuant to
Section 9.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 8.06 Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture 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
Indenture Trustee may also require (and shall require, to extent required by the
TIA), except in connection with any action contemplated by Section 8.04(b), as a
condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indenture 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
Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

                                   ARTICLE IX

authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into
one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the
provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

                  (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
         contained herein and in the Notes;

                  (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 to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
         questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture
         to the extent such action shall not adversely affect the interests of
         the Holders of the Notes;

                  (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 VI; 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 be expressly required by the TIA.

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

         (b) The Issuer and the Indenture 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
shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder.

         SECTION 9.02 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may,
with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class
(excluding for such purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held
of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates,
unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), by Action of such Holders delivered
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any

                                       49


<PAGE>

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 no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
affected thereby:

         (a) change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest
on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the Interest Rate thereon
or redemption price therefor, or change any place of payment where, or the coin
or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable;

         (b) 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 V, to the payment of any such amount due on the
Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof;

         (c) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the

with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and
their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

         (d) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of
the term "Outstanding";

         (e) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes

of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(c)(iv);

         (f) reduce any percentage required to amend the sections of the
Indenture that specify the applicable percentage of Outstanding Amount of the

         (g) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity
with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or,
except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this
Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of
any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

         The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not
any Notes would be adversely 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 Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

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

         Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall
mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms

                                       50


<PAGE>

the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture
Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

         Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Issuer may, from time to time, at its option, enter into a currency Swap
Agreement with a Swap Counterparty to swap amounts payable to Certificateholders
from U.S. dollars to Japanese yen; provided, that (1) at the time the Issuer
enters into the Swap Agreement, the rating agencies have confirmed the
then-existing ratings of the Notes, and (2) any payments to the Swap
Counterparty (including termination payments) are payable only from amounts that
are otherwise payable to the Certificateholders. Any payments received by the
Issuer from the Swap Counterparty under such a Swap Agreement shall not be
deposited in the Collection Account and shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee
directly to or to the order of the Certificateholders on the related
Distribution Date. In connection with executing any such Swap Agreement, the
Issuer, Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Seller and Servicer will enter into a
supplement to this Indenture, subject to this Section 9.02 and subject to the
approval of the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders, that will specify the
creation of any necessary accounts and modifications of any provisions necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the intention of such Swap Agreement.

         SECTION 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive upon
request therefor, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel stating
that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture 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 shall 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 Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and 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 IX 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 IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved

by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes
so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the
Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Notes.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                     Release

         SECTION 10.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables. If the Servicer or
any successor to the Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee of its intention to exercise the option granted to it in Section 9.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement to repurchase the outstanding Receivables
primarily comprising the Owner Trust Estate, then the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Securityholder and
the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice from
the Servicer. Upon deposit by the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer of
the amount necessary to effect such purchase of the corpus of the Owner Trust
Estate, the Indenture Trustee shall make the final distributions to the
Noteholders and Certificateholders as set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and shall promptly transfer all of its right, title and
interest in and to any amounts or investments remaining on deposit in the
Collection Account to the Owner Trustee, and in the Reserve Account and the
Yield Supplement Account to the Seller (in any event excluding any portion
thereof necessary to make distributions to Noteholders described in Section
3.03), and release from the lien of this Indenture all of the remaining
Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall execute, deliver and file all
agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents necessary or reasonably
requested by the Issuer in order to effect such release and the transfer to the
Issuer of the Collateral.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  Miscellaneous

         SECTION 11.01 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

         (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall, upon written request therefor from the Indenture Trustee, furnish to the
Indenture 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, except that, 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 such written request from the Indenture Trustee
need be furnished (and only such expressly required documents need be delivered
in connection therewith).

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

                                       52
<PAGE>

                  (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.

         (c) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee (if so requested
by the Indenture Trustee or required by the TIA) 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 deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral
or other property or securities to be so deposited.

                  (ii) Whenever the Issuer would be required to furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
         opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause
         (c)(i) above if such an Officer's Certificate had been requested by the
         Indenture Trustee or required by the TIA, regardless of whether such an
         Officer's Certificate was so requested or required, the Issuer shall
         deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the
         same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be
         so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any
         such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current
         calendar year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered
         pursuant to clause (c)(i) above and this clause (c)(ii), is 10% or more
         of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not
         be furnished with respect to any securities 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) Whenever any property or securities are to be released
         from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
         opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value
         (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed
         to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the
         proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in
         contravention of the provisions hereof.

                  (iv) Notwithstanding Section 2.09 or any other provision of
         this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements
         of the other provisions of this

                                       53

<PAGE>

         Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of
         Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or
         required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the
         Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
         Documents so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
         every six months, commencing August 15, 2004, an Officer's Certificate
         of the Issuer stating that all such dispositions of Collateral 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 Indenture 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.

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

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

         SECTION 11.03 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

                                       54

<PAGE>

evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it
is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the "Action" 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.

         (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved 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 registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.

         SECTION 11.04 Notices to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Action
of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall
be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Action of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished
to or filed with:

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

         (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, it shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Nissan Auto Receivables 2004-A Owner
Trust, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market
Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: Nissan Auto Receivables 2004-A
Owner Trust, with a copy to Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, 990 West 190th
Street, Torrance, California 90502, Attention: Secretary, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer
or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by
it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

         Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of
Moody's, at the following address: Moody's Investors Service, ABS Monitoring
Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007, and (ii) in the case of
Standard & Poor's, at the following address: Standard & Poor's, a division of
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041-0003,
Attention:

                                       55

<PAGE>

Asset Backed Surveillance Department, or as to each 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 Indenture
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 to Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.

         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 Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder,
that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such
payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of
each such agreement and the Indenture 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.

<PAGE>

         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 Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

         SECTION 11.10 Severability. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Indenture or of the Notes or the Certificates or the rights of the Holders
thereof.

         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 Governing Law. This Indenture shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law of the State of New York), and the obligations, rights
and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with
such laws.

         SECTION 11.13 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

         SECTION 11.14 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.15 Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or Certificates or under this Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, (ii) the Seller, any Certificateholder or

                                       57

<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 11.16 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time file, join in any filing of, or cooperate or
encourage others to file against the Seller or the Issuer 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, the Certificates or
any of the Basic Documents.

         SECTION 11.17 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture 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 (at the expense of the requesting party) 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 Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its
representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent
disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for
confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent
with its obligations hereunder.

                                       58

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as [____]% Asset Backed Notes, Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] (herein
called the "Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Notes"), all issued under the Indenture,
to which Indentures and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class
[A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

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

         Principal of the Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Notes will be payable on
each Distribution Date in an amount described in the Indenture. "Distribution
Date" means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing March 15, 2004.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class
(excluding for such purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held
of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates,
unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by
NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates), have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the
Indenture or following the exercise by the Servicer of its option to purchase
the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
Section 10.01 of the Indenture. In case of an unrescinded acceleration upon an
Event of Default, all payments of interest and principal in that order of
payment, will be made (1) first to the holders of the Class A-1 Notes, until the
outstanding principal balance of the Class A-1 Notes has been paid in full, and
(2) then to the holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, and the
Class A-4 Notes on a pro rata basis (x) with respect to interest, based on the
respective aggregate amounts of interest due to these classes of notes and (y)
with respect to principal, based on the respective outstanding principal
balances of those classes of notes, until the outstanding principal balances of
those classes of notes have been paid in full. In case of the optional purchase
of the Receivables, all interest and principal payments on the Class
[A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class
[A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Noteholders entitled thereto.

         Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name of such
Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to
such Note on a Distribution Date or on the applicable Final Scheduled
Distribution Date, which shall be payable as provided below. Any reduction in
the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any Distribution 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

<PAGE>

expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of
the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date,
then the Indenture 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 by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile
prior to such Distribution Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture
Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture
Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Rate to the extent lawful.

         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, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee as set forth in Section 2.04 of the Indenture, and thereupon
one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 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 Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, (ii) the Seller or any owner of a beneficial interest in
the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or
employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may
have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except
that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

         The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default
under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing
for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against,
the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

         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 by
accepting the benefits of the

                                       A-6

<PAGE>

Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time file, join in
the filing of, or cooperate with or encourage others to file against the Seller
or the Issuer, 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 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, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
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 none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single
class (excluding for such purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes
held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their
Affiliates, unless at such time all of the Notes are held of record or
beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates). Section 5.12 of
the Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class (excluding for
such purpose the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or
beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC or any of their Affiliates, unless at such
time all of the Notes are held of record or beneficially owned by NARC II, NMAC
or any of their Affiliates), 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 or 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 Indenture 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 term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

         The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the
State of New York), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

         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.
