Act. The Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes and the Class D Notes) will be
issuable in registered form in minimum denominations of $100,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000. The Class D Notes will be issuable in
registered form in minimum denominations of $250,000 and in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess of $250,000.

          (d) No Note will be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid for any purpose, unless it bears a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for in this Indenture executed by the
Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories,
and such certificate upon any Note will be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture.

     Section 2.3 Tax Treatment. The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal, State
and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will be
indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral. 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 U.S. federal, State and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

     Section 2.4 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          (a) The Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee to be the "Note
Registrar" and to keep a register (the "Note Register") for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as provided in this Indenture. Upon any
resignation of the Note Registrar, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor
or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note
Registrar. If the Issuer appoints a Person other than the Indenture Trustee as
Note Registrar, (i) the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee of such
appointment, (ii) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to inspect the Note
Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies of the Note Register and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to rely upon a certificate
executed by an officer of the Note Registrar as to the names and addresses of
the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of the Notes.

          (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the
office or agency of the Issuer maintained under Section 3.2, if the requirements
of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, the Indenture
Trustee will authenticate and the Noteholder will obtain from the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes of the same Class, in any authorized denomination, in the same
aggregate principal amount.

          (c) A Noteholder may exchange Notes for other Notes of the same Class,
in any authorized denominations, in the same aggregate principal amount, by
surrendering the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer
maintained under Section 3.2. If the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC
are met, the Issuer will execute, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and
the Noteholder will obtain from the Indenture Trustee the Notes that the
Noteholder making such exchange is entitled to receive.


                                       3

<PAGE>

          (d) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange.

          (e) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange will be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder of such Note or such
Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed
by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note
Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities
Transfer Agents Medallion Program or such other "signature guarantee program" as
may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for,
the Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program, all in accordance with the
Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture
Trustee may require.

          (f) None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
will impose a service charge on a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes. The Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee may
require such Noteholder to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such registration of
transfer or exchange of the Notes.

          (g) Neither the Issuer nor the Note Registrar will be required to
register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or Notes whose
next Payment Date is not more than 15 days after the requested date of such
transfer or exchange.

          (h) The Class D Notes have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities law. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee is obligated to register the Class D Notes under the
Securities Act or any other securities or "blue sky" laws or to take any other
action not otherwise required under this Indenture or the Trust Agreement to
permit the transfer of any Class D Note without registration.

          (i) No transfer of any Class D Note or any interest therein is
permitted except in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Section 2.4 (including the applicable legend to be set forth on the face of
each Note as provided in Exhibit D) in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
or "blue sky" laws to a person (A) who the transferor reasonably believes is a
"qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A (a "QIB"), in
the form of beneficial interests in the Class D Notes, and (B) that is aware
that the resale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.

          (j) Each Class D Noteholder (other than the Depositor), by its
acceptance of a Class D Note, will be deemed to have acknowledged, represented
to and agreed with the Issuer as follows:

               (i) It understands that the Class D Notes have not been and will
     not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable
     securities law and that the Class D Notes, or any interest or participation
     in the


                                       4

<PAGE>

     Class D Notes, may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred
     only in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and
     only pursuant to Rule 144A to a person that the holder reasonably believes
     is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A.

               (ii) It acknowledges that none of the Issuer or any Person
     representing the Issuer has made any representation to it with respect to
     the Issuer or the offering or sale of any Class D Notes, other than the
     information contained in the offering memorandum relating to the Class D
     Notes that has been delivered to it and upon which it is relying in making
     its investment decision with respect to such Class D Notes. It has had
     access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer, the
     Depositor and the Class D Notes as it has deemed necessary in connection
     with its decision to purchase the Class D Notes, including an opportunity
     to ask questions of and request information from the Depositor.

               (iii) It acknowledges that the Class D Notes will bear a legend
     substantially similar to the legend contained in Exhibit D unless the
     Administrator determines otherwise (as certified to the Indenture Trustee
     in an Officer's Certificate), consistent with applicable law.

               (iv) It is a person who is (A) a citizen or resident of the
     United States, (B) a corporation or partnership organized in or under the
     laws of the United States or any State thereof (including the District of
     Columbia), (C) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income
     for United States tax purposes, regardless of its source, (D) a trust if a
     U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
     of such trust and one or more persons described in clause (A), (B), (C) or
     (E) of this paragraph (iv) has the authority to control all substantial
     decisions of the trust or (E) a person not described in clauses (A) through
     (D) of this paragraph (iv) whose ownership of the Class D Notes is
     effectively connected with such persons conduct of a trade or business
     within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) and who provides
     the Issuer and the Depositor with an IRS Form W-8ECI (and such other
     certifications, representations, or opinions of counsel as may be requested
     by the Issuer or the Depositor).

               (v) If it is acquiring any Class D Note, or any interest or
     participation in the Class D Notes, as a fiduciary or agent for one or more
     investor accounts, it represents that it has sole investment discretion
     with respect to such account and that it has full power to make the
     acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained herein on behalf
     of each such account.

               (vi) It (A) is a QIB, (B) is aware that the sale to it is being
     made in reliance on Rule 144A and if it is acquiring such Class D Notes or
     any interest or participation in the Class D Notes for the account of
     another QIB, such other QIB is aware that the sale is being made in
     reliance on Rule 144A and (C) is acquiring such Class D Notes or any
     interest or participation in the Class D Notes for its own account or for
     the account of another QIB.


                                       5

<PAGE>

               (vii) It is purchasing the Class D Notes for its own account, or
     for one or more investor accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or
     agent, in each case for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or
     sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the
     Securities Act, subject to any requirements of law that the disposition of
     its property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all
     times within its or their control and subject to its or their ability to
     resell such Class D Notes, or any interest or participation therein as
     described in the offering memorandum relating to the Class D Notes and
     pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

               (viii) It agrees that if in the future it should offer, sell or
     otherwise transfer such Class D Note or any interest or participation
     therein, it will do so only (A) to the Depositor or its Affiliates or (B)
     pursuant to Rule 144A to a person whom it reasonably believes is a QIB in a
     transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, purchasing for its own
     account or for the account of a QIB, whom it has informed that such offer,
     sale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. It
     acknowledges that the Class D Notes are offered in reliance on Rule 144A
     and that transfers thereof or any interest or participation in the Class D
     Notes are restricted as set forth in this Indenture.

               (ix) It acknowledges that the Depositor and the Issuer rely on
     the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations
     and agreements, and agrees that if any of the foregoing acknowledgments,
     representations and agreements deemed to have been made by it are no longer
     accurate, it will promptly notify the Depositor and the Issuer.

     Any transfer, resale, pledge or other transfer of Class D Notes contrary to
the restrictions in this Indenture will be null and void and will not be
recognized by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for any purpose.

          (k) The Depositor will make available to the prospective transferor
and transferee of a Class D Note information requested to satisfy the
requirements of paragraph (d) (4) of Rule 144A (the "Rule 144A Information").
The Rule 144A Information will include any or all of the following items
requested by the prospective transferee:

               (i) the offering memorandum relating to the Class D Notes, and
     any amendments or supplements to such offering memorandum;

               (ii) the Monthly Investor Report for each Payment Date preceding
     such request; and

               (iii) such other information as is reasonably available to the
     Indenture Trustee in order to comply with requests for information pursuant
     to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

     Section 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.


                                       6

<PAGE>

          (a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of a Note, then the Issuer will execute and, upon Issuer Request, the
Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of the same
Class and principal amount in exchange for or in lieu of such Note so long as
(i) the Indenture Trustee receives such security or indemnity as may be required
by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, (ii) none of the
Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee have received notice that
such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, as defined in Section
8-303 of the UCC and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met.
However, if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note (but not a mutilated Note)
is due and payable within 15 days or has been called for redemption, instead of
issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender of
such Note. If a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such
replacement Note was issued (or such payment made) presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will 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 (or such payment) from such Person to
whom such replacement Note (or such payment) was delivered or any assignee of
such Person, except a protected purchaser, and will be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided for such replacement Note (or such payment)
for any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee in connection with such replacement Note (or such
payment).

          (b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under Section 2.5(a),
the Issuer may require the Noteholder of such Note to pay an amount sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed and any other reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with such replacement Note.

          (c) Each replacement Note issued pursuant to Section 2.5(a) will
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether
or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be enforceable by
anyone and, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, will be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other
Notes of the same Class duly issued under this Indenture.

          (d) The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and 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 2.6 Persons Deemed Owners. With respect to any date of
determination, 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 such date as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments
of principal of and any interest on such Note and for all other purposes, and
none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee will recognize notice to the contrary.

     Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest.


                                       7

<PAGE>

          (a) Each Class of Notes will accrue interest at the applicable Note
Interest Rate. Interest on each Note will be due and payable on each Payment
Date as specified in such Note. Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will be computed
on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. Interest on
the Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes) will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          (b) Interest and principal payments on each Class of Notes will be
made ratably to the Noteholders of such Class entitled to such payments. On each
Payment Date before the issuance of Definitive Notes, distributions to be made
with respect to interest on and principal of the Notes will be paid to the
Registered Noteholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such
nominee will be Cede & Co.). On and after the date on which Definitive Notes are
issued, distributions to be made with respect to interest on and principal of
the Notes will be paid to the Registered Noteholder (i) if such Noteholder has
provided to the Note Registrar appropriate instructions at least 5 Business Days
before such Payment Date and the aggregate original principal amount of such
Noteholder's Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of such Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first
class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered Noteholder's address as it
appears on the Note Register on the related Record Date. However, the final
installment of principal (whether payable by wire transfer or check) of each
Note on a Payment Date, the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Scheduled
Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note.
The Indenture Trustee will notify each Registered Noteholder of the date on
which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest
on such Registered Noteholder's Notes will be paid not later than 5 days before
such date. Such notice will specify the place where such Notes may be presented
and surrendered for payment of such installment. All funds paid by wire
transfers or checks that are returned undelivered will be held in accordance
with Section 3.3.

          (c) The principal of each Note will be payable in installments on each
Payment Date as specified in such Note. The entire unpaid Note Balance of each
Class of Notes will be due and payable on the date that the Notes are declared
to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2.

     Section 2.8 Cancellation. Any Person that receives a Note surrendered for
payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption will deliver such Note
to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes
it receives that have been surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or
exchange, or redemption. The Issuer may deliver to the Indenture Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner, and the Indenture
Trustee will promptly cancel such Notes. No Notes will be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.8. The
Indenture Trustee may hold or dispose of all cancelled Notes in accordance with
its standard retention or disposal policy unless the Issuer directs, by Issuer
Order, that they be destroyed or returned to it (so long as such Notes have not
been disposed of previously by the Indenture Trustee).

     Section 2.9 Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee will release
property from the lien of this Indenture only in accordance with Sections 8.4
and 10.1.

     Section 2.10 Notes in Global Form. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in global form as a single note for each class and delivered to The
Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the
Issuer. The Notes will be registered initially on the Note Register in the name
of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner
will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such
Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to Note Owners
pursuant to Section 2.11:

          (a) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee will 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 notices,
instructions or directions under this Indenture) as the sole Noteholder, and
will have no obligation to the Note Owners;

          (b) the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among its
participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on
the Notes to such participants;

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict
with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10
will control;

          (d) the rights of Note Owners may be exercised only through the
Clearing Agency and will be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or its participants
pursuant to the Depository Agreement; and

          (e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken
based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders of a specified percentage
of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding (or the Controlling Class), the
Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent
that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or the
Clearing Agency's participants owning or representing, respectively, such
required percentage of the beneficial interest of the Notes Outstanding (or the
Controlling Class) and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

     Section 2.11 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Administrator advises the
Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as depository for the Notes and the
Administrator is unable to reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a
qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or
(iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Event of Servicing
Termination, Note Owners representing not less than a majority of the
Controlling Class notify the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency that they
elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, then the
Clearing Agency will notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the
occurrence of such election and of the availability of Definitive Notes to the
Note Owners. After the Clearing Agency has surrendered the Notes and delivered
the registration instructions to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute
and the Indenture Trustee will authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance
with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying
on, such instructions.

Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will
recognize the holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

     Section 2.12 Authenticating Agents.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Persons (each, an
"Authenticating Agent") with the power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuances, transfers
and exchanges under Sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as though each such
Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to
authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication
of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 is deemed to
be the authentication of Notes "by the Indenture Trustee."

          (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, consolidation or conversion to which an Authenticating Agent is a party,
or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of an Authenticating Agent, will be the successor of such
Authenticating Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any
document or any further act.

          (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign by giving notice of resignation
to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving notice of termination
to such Authenticating Agent and the Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent and will notify the Owner Trustee of any such
appointment.

          (d) Sections 2.8 and 6.4 will apply to each Authenticating Agent.

     Section 2.13 Note Paying Agents.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Note Paying Agents
that meet the eligibility standards for the Indenture Trustee specified in
Section 6.11(a). The Note Paying Agents will have the power to make
distributions from the Trust Accounts.

          (b) Any Person into which a Note Paying Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, consolidation or conversion to which a Note Paying Agent is a party, or
any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of a Note Paying Agent, will be the successor of such Note Paying Agent
under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any document or any
further act.

          (c) A Note Paying Agent may resign by giving notice of resignation to
the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee
may terminate the agency of a Note Paying Agent by giving notice of termination
to such Note Paying Agent, the Administrator and the Issuer. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may
appoint a successor Note Paying Agent and will notify the Administrator and the
Issuer of any such appointment.

          (d) Sections 2.8 and 6.4 will apply to each Note Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE III
                          COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS

     Section 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the
Notes and this Indenture. Amounts withheld under the Code or any State or local
tax law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder will be considered as
having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder.

     Section 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Notes
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices
and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may
be served. The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its
agent for such purposes. The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee
of any change in the location of such office or agency. If the Issuer fails to
maintain any such office or agency or fails to furnish the Indenture Trustee
with the address of such office or agency, such surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer appoints the
Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and
demands.

     Section 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

          (a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes
that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Bank Accounts will be made
on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Note Paying
Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Bank Accounts for payments of Notes
may be paid over to the Issuer, except as provided in this Section 3.3.

          (b) The Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Note Paying
Agent) will cause each Note Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee
itself) to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, an instrument in which
such Note Paying Agent agrees with the Indenture Trustee to:

               (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due on
     the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such sums
     until such sums are paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
     provided in this Indenture and pay such sums to such Persons as provided in
     this Indenture;

               (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the
     Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment
     required to be made with respect to the Notes;

               (iii) during the continuance of any such default, upon the
     request of the Indenture Trustee, immediately pay to the Indenture Trustee
     all sums held in trust by such Note Paying Agent;


                                       11

<PAGE>

               (iv) immediately resign as a Note Paying Agent and immediately
     pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment
     of Notes if it ceases to meet the eligibility standards specified in
     Section 6.11(a) with respect to the Indenture Trustee; and

               (v) comply with all requirements of the Code and any State or
     local tax law with respect to withholding and reporting requirements in
     connection with payments on the Notes.

          (c) The Issuer may by Issuer Order, direct any Note Paying Agent to
pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Note 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 Note Paying Agent. Upon a Note Paying Agent's
payment of all sums held in trust to the Indenture Trustee, such Note Paying
Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

          (d) Subject to laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held
by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for 2 years
after such amount has become due and payable will be discharged from such trust
and paid to the Issuer upon Issuer Request. After such discharge and payment,
the Noteholder of such Note will, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Issuer for payment of such amount due and unclaimed (but only to the extent
of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture
Trustee or such Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money will
thereupon cease. However, the Indenture Trustee or such Note Paying Agent,
before making any such repayment, will publish once, at the expense and
direction of the Issuer, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business
Day in the English language and of general circulation in The City of New York,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified in such
notice, which must be at least 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee will also adopt and employ, at the expense of the
Administrator and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including notifying Noteholders whose Notes have
been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or

Collateral. Such financing and continuation statements may describe the
Collateral in any manner as the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee may

discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or
agreement, except as provided in any Basic Document.

of the occurrence of an Event of Servicing Termination, the Issuer will promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such occurrence and
specify in such notice any action the Issuer is taking in respect of such event.
If an Event of Servicing Termination arises from the failure of the Servicer to
perform any of its duties and obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer will take all reasonable steps
available to cause the Servicer to remedy such failure.

     Section 3.16 Representations and Warranties of the Issuer as to Security
Interest. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee as of the
Closing Date:

          (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 against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

          (b) All of the Permitted Investments have been and will be credited to
a Securities Account. The securities intermediary for each Securities Account
has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Securities Accounts as "financial
assets" within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Collateral (other than
those Permitted Investments which have been credited to a Securities Account)
constitutes "chattel paper," "instruments" or "general intangibles" within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.

          (c) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the
Receivables free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. The Issuer
has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Receivables
to transfer to the Indenture Trustee all of its interest and rights in the
Receivables, except to the extent that any requirement for consent or approval
is rendered ineffective under the applicable UCC.

          (d) The Issuer has caused, or will cause within 10 days after the
Closing Date, 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 Granted in the Collateral to the Indenture
Trustee.


                                       17

<PAGE>

          (e) The Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed
agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply
with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to the
Securities Accounts without further consent by the Issuer.

          (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 part of the Collateral. The
Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering
any part of the Collateral, other than any financing statements relating to the
security interest Granted to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer is not aware of
any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

          (g) The Securities Accounts are not in the name of any Person other
than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the
securities intermediary of any Securities Account complying with entitlement
orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

          (h) All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer,
or any assignor of which the Issuer is the assignee, in favor of the Indenture
Trustee in connection with this Indenture describing the Collateral contain a
statement substantially to the following effect: "The grant of a security
interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate
the rights of the Secured Parties."

     Section 3.17 Audits of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees that, with reasonable
prior notice, it will permit any authorized representative of the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Issuer's normal business
hours, to examine and audit the books of account, records, reports and other
documents and materials of the Issuer relating to the performance of the
Issuer's obligations under this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer will permit
such representatives to make copies and extracts of any such books and records
and to discuss the same with the Issuer's officers and registered public
accountants. Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Administrator
will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence all
such information except to the extent (a) disclosure may be required by law (and
all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) or (b)
that the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may
be, reasonably determines that such disclosure is consistent with its
obligations under this Indenture.

     Section 3.18 Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Issuer
represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date:

          (a) Organization and Qualification. The Issuer is a statutory trust
duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware.

          (b) Power, Authorization and Enforceability. The Issuer has the power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms this Indenture. The
Issuer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of

Issuer enforceable against the Issuer, except as may be


                                       18

<PAGE>

limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the
enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equitable principles.

          (c) No Conflicts and No Violation. The execution and delivery by the
Issuer of this Indenture, the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions
contemplated by this Indenture and the compliance by the Issuer with this
Indenture will not (i) violate any Delaware State law, governmental rule or
regulation applicable to the Issuer or any judgment or decree binding on it or
(ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument under which
the Issuer is a debtor or guarantor, in each case which conflict, breach,
default, lien, or violation would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Issuer's ability to perform its obligations under this
Indenture.

          (d) No Proceedings. To the Issuer's knowledge, there are no
proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened in writing before
any court or other governmental authority of the State of Delaware: (i)
asserting the invalidity of any of the Basic Documents or the Notes (ii) seeking
to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by any of the Basic Documents, (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Trust Property or the Issuer's ability to perform its
obligations under, or the validity or enforceability any of the Basic Documents
or the Notes.

          (b) After the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to
Section 4.1(a), this Indenture will continue as to (i) rights of registration of

                                    REMEDIES

     Section 5.1 Events of Default.

          (a) The occurrence of any one of the following events will constitute
an event of default under this Indenture (each, an "Event of Default"):

               (i) failure to pay interest due on any Note of the Controlling
     Class when the same becomes due and payable on each Payment Date, and such
     failure continues for a period of 5 days or more;

               (ii) failure to pay the principal of any Note at its Final
     Scheduled Payment Date or Redemption Date, if any;

               (iii) failure to observe or perform any material covenant or

     covered elsewhere in this Section 5.1) or any representation or warranty of
     the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any Officer's Certificate or other
     document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Indenture proves
     to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time made and, in
     each case, such failure or incorrectness continues for a period of 60 days
     after notice was given to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the
     Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders of at least 25% of the
     Note Balance of the Controlling Class specifying such failure or
     incorrectness, requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is
     a "Notice of Default"; or

               (iv) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the
     Issuer.

          (b) The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee within 5 Business

<PAGE>

Section 5.1(a)(iii) which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would
become an Event of Default, which notice will describe such Default, the status
of such Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with
respect to such Default. The Issuer will send a copy of such notice to each
Qualified Institution or Qualified Trust Institution (if not the Indenture
Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.

     Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class may declare all of the Notes to be immediately due and
payable, by notice to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the
Noteholders). Upon any such declaration, the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes,
together with accrued and unpaid interest through the date of acceleration, will
become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section
5.1(a)(iv) occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
the Notes, and all other amounts payable under this Indenture, will
automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder. Upon any such declaration or
automatic acceleration, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify each
Qualified Institution or Qualified Trust Institution (if not the Indenture
Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.

          (b) The Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class, by notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may
rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration of maturity and its consequences
before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by
the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article V if:

               (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee
     an amount sufficient to (1) pay all payments of principal of and interest
     on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due under this
     Indenture or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
     acceleration had not occurred, (2) pay all amounts owed to the Indenture
     Trustee under Section 6.7, and (3) pay all other outstanding fees and
     expenses of the Issuer, and

               (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
     principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
     have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right
resulting from such rescission.

          (a) The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default under Section
5.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and continues, the Issuer, upon demand of the Indenture

Note Interest Rate and, to the extent lawful, with interest on any overdue
interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate. In addition, the Issuer covenants
to pay, or to cause the Administrator to pay, the costs and expenses of
collection, including all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section
6.7.

          (b) If the Issuer fails 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 and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

     Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          (a) In case there is pending, relative to the Issuer, Proceedings
under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, or in case a trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar
official has been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its
property, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee
has made any demand pursuant to Section 5.3, may:

               (i) file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
     principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and file
     such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
     have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any amounts due to the
     Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7), and the Noteholders allowed in
     such Proceedings;

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

               (iii) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and pay all amounts received with respect to
     the claims of the Secured Parties, including such claims asserted by the
     Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

               (iv) 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 Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
     the Issuer, its creditors and its property.

Any trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar official in any such Proceeding is
authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, if
the Indenture Trustee consents to the making of payments directly to such
Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to cover all
amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.


                                       22

<PAGE>

          (b) Except as provided in Section 5.4(a)(ii), this Indenture does not
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 Noteholder or
to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding.

     Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

          (a) All rights of action and 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 of any of the Notes in any Proceeding
relative to any of the Notes, and any such Proceeding instituted by the
Indenture Trustee will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the amounts owed to the
Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7, will be for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

          (b) In any Proceeding brought by the Indenture Trustee (and any
Proceeding involving the interpretation of this Indenture to which the Indenture
Trustee is a party), the Indenture Trustee will be held to represent all the
Noteholders, and it will not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any
such Proceeding.

     Section 5.6 Remedies; Priorities.

          (a) If the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a), the
Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.7),
and will upon direction of a majority of the Controlling Class:

               (i) institute a Proceeding 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 to the Notes, enforce any judgment
     obtained and collect from the Issuer monies adjudged due;

               (ii) institute a Proceeding for the complete or partial
     foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

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

               (iv) sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral or any portion of
     the Collateral or rights or interest in the Collateral at one or more
     public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
     law.

     The Indenture Trustee will notify each Noteholder and the Depositor of any
sale or liquidation pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(iv) at least 15 days (but not
less than the time required under the UCC or any other law) before such sale or
liquidation. Any Noteholder or the Depositor may submit a bid with respect to
such sale or liquidation.


                                       23

<PAGE>

          (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.6(a), the Indenture Trustee is
prohibited from selling or otherwise liquidating the Collateral unless:

               (i) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or
     (ii); or

               (ii) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a) (iii)
     and:

                    (1) the Noteholders representing 100% of the Note Balance of
     the Notes consent to such sale or liquidation; or

                    (2) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are expected to
     be sufficient to pay in full all amounts owed by the Issuer to the Secured
     Parties including all principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding
     Notes;

               (iii) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a) (iv)
     and:

                    (1) the Noteholders representing 100% of the Note Balance of
     the Controlling Class consent to such sale or liquidation; or

                    (2) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are expected to
     be sufficient to pay in full all amounts owed by the Issuer to the Secured
     Parties including all principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding
     Notes; or

                    (3) the Indenture Trustee (A) determines (but will have no
     obligation to make such determination) that the Collateral will not
     continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
     interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not
     been declared due and payable and (B) obtains the consent of Noteholders of
     at least 66 2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.

     In determining whether the condition specified in clause (ii)(2), (iii)(2)
or (iii) (3) (A) above has been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of a nationally recognized Independent
investment banking firm or firm of certified public accountants as to the
expected proceeds or as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

          (c) Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee following
the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(i), (ii)
or (iv) and an acceleration of the Notes or (ii) an Event of Default specified
in Section 5.1(a)(iii) and the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral
pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(iv), will be deposited into the Collection Account
for distribution in accordance with Section 8.2(e) on the Payment Date following
the Collection Period during which such amounts are collected. In all other
circumstances, Section 8.2(c) will continue to apply after an Event of Default.

     Section 5.7 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been
accelerated under Section 5.2(a) and such declaration and its consequences have
not been rescinded and


                                       24

<PAGE>

annulled in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the Indenture Trustee may elect to
maintain possession of the Collateral. It is the intention of the parties to
this Indenture and the Noteholders that there at all times be sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and any amounts owing
to any other Secured Parties. The Indenture Trustee will take such intention
into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the
Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the
Indenture Trustee may obtain and rely upon an opinion of a nationally recognized
Independent investment banking firm or firm of certified public accountants as
to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Collateral for such purpose.

     Section 5.8 Limitation of Suits.

          (a) No Noteholder has any right to institute any Proceeding with
respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any other remedy under this Indenture, unless:

               (i) such Noteholder has given notice to the Indenture Trustee of
     a continuing Event of Default;

               (ii) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the
     Controlling Class have requested the Indenture Trustee to institute such
     Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture
     Trustee under this Indenture;

               (iii) such Noteholders have offered reasonable indemnity
     satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against any costs, expenses, losses,
     damages, claims and liabilities that may be incurred by the Indenture
     Trustee, or its agents, counsel, accountants and experts, in complying with
     such request;

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

               (v) the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of
     the Controlling Class have not given the Indenture Trustee any direction
     inconsistent with such request during such 60 day period.

          (b) No Noteholder has any right to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any other Noteholder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner provided in this Indenture.

          (c) If the Indenture Trustee receives conflicting requests pursuant to
Section 5.8(a)(ii) from two or more groups of Noteholders, each evidencing less
than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, will be taken.

     Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, each
Noteholder has an absolute and


                                       25

<PAGE>

unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and any interest on
its Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and
to institute a Proceeding for the enforcement of any such payment in accordance
with Section 5.8. Such rights may not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Noteholder.

     Section 5.10 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 the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, subject
to any determination in such Proceeding, will be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions under this Indenture, and thereafter all
rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue
as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred
upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders in this
Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, will be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given under this Indenture or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment
of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or otherwise, will not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. The
Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under
this Indenture will 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 will 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 Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

     Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Default or Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy, or
constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default. Every right and
remedy conferred 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 5.13 Control by Controlling Class of Noteholders. The Noteholders
of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class 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 if:

          (a) such direction does not conflict with any law or with this
Indenture;

          (b) except as provided in Section 5.6(b), any direction to the
Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral must be made by
Noteholders of 100% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class;


                                       26

<PAGE>

          (c) if the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant
to Section 5.7, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of
less than 100% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class to sell or liquidate
the Collateral will be of no force and effect; and

          (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction from the
Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.13, the
Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

     Section 5.14 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.

          (a) The Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class may waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except an Event of Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any
of the Notes (other than an Event of Default relating to failure to pay
principal due only by reason of acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant
or provision of this Indenture that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified
without the consent of all Noteholders.

          (b) Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default will be
deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture. No such waiver
will extend to any other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
relating to any other Default or Event of Default.

     Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Noteholder by such Noteholder's acceptance of a Note will be deemed to
have agreed, that a 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. This Section 5.15 will not apply to (a)
any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more
than 10% of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding (or in the case of a suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture that is
instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class) or (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 (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not insist upon, or plead or in
any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture,
and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or
impede


                                       27

<PAGE>

the execution of any power in this Indenture 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 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

          (a) At the Administrator's expense, the Issuer will promptly take all
such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to (i) compel the
performance by (1) the Depositor and the Servicer of their obligations to the
Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or (2) the Depositor and Ford
Credit of their obligations under or the Purchase Agreement and (ii) exercise
any and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims lawfully available
to the Issuer under such agreements to the extent and in the manner directed by
the Indenture Trustee.

          (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Noteholders of at least 66
2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class will, exercise all rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against (i) the Depositor
or the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor or
Ford Credit under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take
any action to compel or secure performance or observance by such Persons of
their obligations to the Issuer under such agreements, and to give any consent,
request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under such agreements,
and any right of the Issuer to take such action will be suspended.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee will exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent Person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's
own affairs.

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

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

               (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture
     Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
     correctness of the opinions furnished to it, upon any certificates or
     opinions furnished to it and, if required by the terms of this Indenture,
     conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, provided that the
     Indenture Trustee will examine any such certificates and opinions to
     determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
     Indenture.

     6.1(b);

               (ii) the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any error of

     takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction

affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee is
subject to this Section 6.1 and to the TIA.

          (g) The Indenture Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of any

Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or
(ii) notice of such Default or Event of Default has been given to the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with this Indenture.

     Section 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may rely and will be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent or other document believed by it to be

by the proper Person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matters stated in any such document.

<PAGE>

          (d) The Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes

against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it or (ii) to honor
the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture
unless such Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable

Record Date (which delivery by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders may be
made by making such statement available to the Noteholders through the Indenture
Trustee's website, which initially is located at www.absreporting.com) and to
the Owner Trustee for the Owner Trustee to forward to the holder of the Residual
Interest.

          (c) If required by Regulation AB, the Indenture Trustee will deliver
to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, and the Servicer on or before March 1 of
each year, beginning March 1, [2007], an Officer's Certificate, dated as of
December 31 of the preceding calendar year, signed by a Responsible Person of
the Indenture Trustee to the effect that (i) a review of the Indenture Trustee's
activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, in the case of
the first certificate, since the Closing Date) and of its performance under this
Indenture has been made under such Responsible Person's supervision and (ii) to
such Responsible Person's knowledge, based on such review, the Indenture Trustee
has fulfilled in all material respects all of its obligations under this
Indenture throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion of such calendar
year), or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any
material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such
Responsible Person and the nature and status of such failure. If the Issuer is
not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act or otherwise
required by law to file an Officer's Certificate of the Indenture Trustee as to
compliance, such Officer's Certificate may be delivered on or before April 1 of
each calendar year.

          (d) If required under Regulation AB, the Indenture Trustee will:

               (i) deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer,
     a report, dated as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, on its
     assessment of compliance with the minimum servicing criteria regarding
     general servicing, cash and collection administration, investor remittances
     and reporting and pool asset administration during the preceding calendar
     year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance
     identified by the Indenture Trustee, as required by Rule 13a-18 and 15d-18

     Act.

               (ii) cause a firm of registered public accountants that is

<PAGE>

     attestation report that satisfies the requirements of Rule 13a-18 or Rule
     15d-18 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, on the assessment of
     compliance with servicing criteria with respect to the prior calendar year.
     Such attestation report will be addressed to the board of directors of the
     Servicer and to the Depositor and Owner Trustee. Such attestation report
     will be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X
     under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The firm may render other
     services to the Indenture Trustee, but the firm must indicate in each
     attestation report that it is qualified and independent within the meaning
     of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

               (iii) The reports referred to in this Section 6.6(d) will be
     delivered on before March 1 of each year, beginning March 1, 2007 unless
     the Issuer is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act
     or any other law, in which case the reports will be delivered on or before
     April 1 of each calendar year, beginning April 1, 2007.

     Section 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

          (a) The Issuer will pay the Indenture Trustee as compensation for the
Indenture Trustee's services under this Indenture such fees as have been
separately agreed upon on the date of this Indenture between the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee's compensation will not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will
reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee, including costs of collection, and
the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture
Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts, but excluding any expenses
incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment).

          (b) The Issuer will cause the Administrator to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, and its respective officers, directors,
employees and agents, from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,
damages, claims and liabilities (including the reasonable compensation, expenses
and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and
experts) incurred by it in connection with the administration of and the
performance of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses
of defending itself against any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by it
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
under this Indenture, but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or
liability (i) incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's
willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) or
(ii) arising from the Indenture Trustee's breach of any of its representations
or warranties set forth in this Indenture.

          (c) Promptly upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, or any of its
officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person"), of
notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against any such Indemnified
Person, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect of such Proceeding
is to be made under Section 6.7(b), notify


                                       32

<PAGE>

the Issuer and the Administrator of the commencement of such Proceeding. The
Issuer, or, if Issuer so causes, the Administrator, may participate in and
assume the defense and settlement of any such Proceeding at its expense, and no
settlement of such Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Issuer or
the Administrator, as applicable, and such Indemnified Person, which approvals
will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After notice from the
Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, to the Indemnified Person of the
intention of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, to assume the
defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person, and so long as the Issuer or the Administrator, as
applicable, so assumes the defense of such Proceeding in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, neither the Issuer nor the Administrator
will be liable for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person
unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Issuer or the
Administrator, as applicable, on one hand, and an Indemnified Person, on the
other hand, in which case the Issuer or the Administrator, will pay for the
separate counsel to the Indemnified Person.

          (d) The payment obligations of the Issuer and the Administrator, to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 will survive the resignation
or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.
Expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 5.1(a)(iv) 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 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, and no
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, will become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.8. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may resign
by notifying the Issuer. The Noteholders of at least a majority in Note Balance
of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by
notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer and may appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee.

          (b) The Issuer must remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

               (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Indenture
     Trustee;

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

               (iv) the Indenture Trustee becomes legally unable to act or
     otherwise incapable of acting as Indenture Trustee.

          (c) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason, the Issuer must
appoint a successor Indenture Trustee promptly.


                                       33

<PAGE>

          (d) Any successor Indenture Trustee will have all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Issuer
will continue to pay all amounts owed to the retiring Indenture Trustee in
accordance with Section 8.2 following the retiring Indenture Trustee's
resignation or removal until all such amounts are paid. The successor Indenture
Trustee will deliver a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring
Indenture Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture
Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

          (e) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60
days after the retiring Indenture Trustee tenders its resignation or is removed,
the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of at least a
majority in Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

     Section 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

          (a) If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or
assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation or banking association will be the successor Indenture
Trustee so long as such corporation or banking association is otherwise
qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee will promptly
notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies of any such transaction.

          (b) If, at the time any such successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this
Indenture, any of the Notes have been authenticated but not delivered, such
successor may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
Indenture Trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated. If at such time any
of the Notes have not been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee
may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor Indenture
Trustee or in the name of such successor Indenture Trustee. In all such cases,
such certificates will have the same force and effect provided for anywhere in
the Notes or in this Indenture as the certificate of the predecessor Indenture
Trustee.

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

          (a) For the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located,
after delivering written notice to the Issuer and the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee may appoint one or more Persons to act as a separate trustee or separate
trustees, or co-trustee or co-trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to
vest in such Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, such title to the Collateral, or any part of the Collateral, and,
subject to this Section 6.10, such rights, powers, duties and obligations as the
Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No separate trustee or
co-trustee will be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of
any separate trustee or co-trustee will be required under Section 6.8.

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


                                       34

<PAGE>

               (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
     imposed upon the Indenture Trustee will be conferred or imposed upon and
     exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
     and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that
     such separate trustee or co-trustee will not be authorized to act
     separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to
     the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
     act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee will 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
     Collateral or any portion of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) will
     be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
     but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

               (ii) no trustee will be personally liable by reason of any act or
     omission of any other trustee under this Indenture; and

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

          (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture
Trustee will be deemed to have been given to each appointed separate trustee and
co-trustee, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee will refer to this Indenture and
the conditions of this Section 6.10. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, will 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 in such instrument of
appointment, subject to this Indenture. Every such instrument will be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may appoint the Indenture
Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with power and authority, to the extent
not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
dies, becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts will 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.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee must satisfy the requirements of Section
310(a) of the TIA and must comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA. The Indenture
Trustee or its parent must have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent annual published report of condition
and must have a long-term debt rating of investment grade by each of the Rating
Agencies or must otherwise be acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies. Within
10 days after the Indenture Trustee fails to satisfy any of the requirements set
forth in this Section 6.11(a), the Indenture Trustee will notify the Issuer and
the Servicer of such failure.

          (b) Within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that
has not been cured or waived, unless authorized by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Indenture


                                       35

<PAGE>

Trustee will resign with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes and/or the Class D Notes in accordance with Section 6.8, and the
Issuer will appoint a successor Indenture Trustee for any or all of such Class A
Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and/or Class D Notes, as applicable, so that
there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes, Class B Notes,
the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. If the Indenture Trustee fails to
comply with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee must
comply with TIA Section 310(b)(ii) and (iii).

          (c) If a successor Indenture Trustee is appointed with respect to any
of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes or Class D Notes pursuant to
this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor
Indenture Trustee will execute an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. Such
supplemental indenture will contain:

               (i) provisions by which the successor Indenture Trustee accepts
     its appointment;

               (ii) provisions necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm
     to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers,
     duties and obligations of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to
     the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee
     relates;

               (iii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with
     respect to all of the Notes, provisions necessary or desirable to confirm
     that all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring
     Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which the retiring
     Indenture Trustee is not retiring continue to be vested in the Indenture
     Trustee; and

               (iv) provisions necessary to provide for or facilitate the
     administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee.

Nothing in this Indenture or in such supplemental indenture will constitute such
Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and each such Indenture Trustee
will be a trustee of a trust or trusts under this Indenture separate and apart
from any trust or trusts under this Indenture administered by any other
Indenture Trustee. The indenture supplement will become effective upon the
removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

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

     Section 6.13 Audits of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee agrees
that, with reasonable prior notice, it will permit any authorized representative
of the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Indenture Trustee's normal
business hours, to examine and audit the books of account, records, reports and
other documents and materials of the Indenture Trustee relating to (a) the
performance of the Indenture Trustee's obligations under this Indenture, (b) any
payments of fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee in connection with such
performance and (c) any claim made by the Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture. In addition, the Indenture


                                       36

<PAGE>

Trustee will permit such representatives to make copies and extracts of any such
books and records and to discuss the same with the Indenture Trustee's officers
and employees. Each of the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause
its authorized 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 Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, may reasonably
determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations under this
Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will maintain all such pertinent books,
records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of 2 years after
the termination of its obligations under this Indenture.

     Section 11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

          (a) In connection with any order or request by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Issuer will
deliver the following documents to the Indenture Trustee (such documents,
collectively, an "Issuer Order" or "Issuer Request", as applicable): (i) a
written order or a written request, respectively, signed in the name of the
Issuer by any one of its Responsible Persons and delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, (ii) an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, (iii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that in the opinion of
such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with and (iv) (if
required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public
accountants of national reputation selected by the Issuer. However, in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion
need be furnished.

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

               (i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or
     opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions in this
     Indenture relating to such covenant or condition;

               (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) Before depositing any cash or property with the Indenture
Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property subject to
the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer will, furnish to the Indenture Trustee
(A) 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 cash or property to be so deposited and (B) 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, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to
11.1(c)(i)(A), is 10% or more of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding, but
such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any property or
securities so deposited, if the


                                       49

<PAGE>

fair value of such property or securities to the Issuer as set forth in the
related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Note
Balance of the Notes Outstanding.

               (ii) Whenever any property or securities are to be released from
     the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer will furnish to the Indenture
     Trustee (A) 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
     of this Indenture and (B) an Independent Certificate as to the same matters
     if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property,
     other than property as contemplated by Section 11.1(c)(iii), or securities
     released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the
     then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by
     Section 11.1(c)(ii)(A) and this Section 11.1(c)(ii)(B), equals 10% or more
     of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding, but such certificate need not
     be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities, if the
     fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is
     less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Note Balance of the Notes
     Outstanding.

               (iii) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provisions of this
     Section 11.1, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of
     the other provisions of this Section 11.1, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or
     otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles in the ordinary
     course of its business provided that all proceeds, Recoveries and related
     amounts and proceeds of such dispositions are applied in accordance with
     the provisions of this Indenture and (B) make cash payments out of the Bank
     Accounts, in each case, as and to the extent permitted or required by the
     Basic Documents.

          (d) If the Securities and Exchange Commission issues an exemptive
order under Section 304(d) of the TIA modifying the Indenture Trustee's
obligations under Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) of the TIA, the Indenture
Trustee will release property from the lien of this Indenture only in accordance
with the Basic Documents and the conditions and procedures set forth in such
exemptive order.

     Section 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

          (a) Any Officer's Certificate of a Responsible Person of the Issuer
may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an opinion of
counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that such opinion, with respect to the matters upon which such Officer's
Certificate is based, is erroneous. Any Officer's Certificate of a Responsible
Person of the Issuer or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates
to factual matters, upon an Officer's Certificate of or representation by a
Responsible Person of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer (including by
the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer), stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such Responsible Person of
the


                                       50

<PAGE>

Issuer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that
the Officer's Certificate or representation with respect to such matters is
erroneous.

          (b) 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 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.

     Section 11.3 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 or a specified percentage of Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. Except as
otherwise provided in this Indenture such action will become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, if
required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
in such instrument or instruments and evidenced by such instrument or
instruments) are sometimes referred to in this Indenture as the "Act of
Noteholders" signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent will be sufficient for
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 11.3.

          (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) Any Act of Noteholders will bind the Noteholder of every Note
issued upon the registration of such Note or in exchange for such Note or in
lieu of such Note, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done
by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance on such Note, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Note.

     Section 11.4 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating
Agencies.

          (a) Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, waivers or other communications to or from the
parties to this Indenture must be in writing and will be deemed to have been
given and made:

               (i) upon delivery or, in the case of a letter mailed by
     registered first class mail, postage prepaid, 3 days after deposit in the
     mail;

               (ii) in the case of a fax, when receipt is confirmed by
     telephone, reply email or reply fax from the recipient;

               (iii) in the case of an email, when receipt is confirmed by
     telephone or reply email from the recipient; and


                                       51

<PAGE>

               (iv) in the case of an electronic posting to a password-protected
     website to which the recipient has been provided access, upon delivery of
     an email to such recipient stating that such electronic posting has
     occurred.

Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture, any such notice, request, demand,
consent or other communication must be delivered or addressed as set forth on
Schedule B to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as any
party may designate by notice to the other parties.

          (b) Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder must
be sent by overnight delivery, mailed by registered first class mail, postage
prepaid, or sent by fax, to the address of such Person as shown in the Note
Register. Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Indenture will
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder
receives such notice.

     Section 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

          (a) Any notice to Noteholders will be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise provided in this Indenture) if in writing, sent by overnight delivery,
mailed by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, to
each Noteholder adversely affected by such event, at its address or facsimile
number 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 will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this
Indenture will conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

          (b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture
Trustee but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

          (c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it is impractical to mail
notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.

          (d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice will not affect any other rights or obligations
created under this Indenture, and will not under any circumstance constitute a
Default or Event of Default.

     Section 11.6 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision of this
Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision of this
Indenture that is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of
the provisions of the TIA, such required or deemed provision will control. The
provisions of Sections 310 through 317 of the TIA that impose duties


                                       52

<PAGE>

on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included in this
Indenture unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern
this Indenture.

     Section 11.7 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes, express or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties to
this Indenture and their successors under this Indenture, and the Secured
Parties and any other party secured under this Indenture, and any other Person
with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     Section 11.8 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 11.9 Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties submit to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York, New
York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this
Indenture. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may do so,
any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of
any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

     Section 11.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS INDENTURE
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INDENTURE.

     Section 11.11 Severability. If any of the covenants, agreements or terms of
this Indenture is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then it will be deemed
severable from the remaining covenants, agreements or terms of this Indenture
and will in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remaining Indenture or of the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders.

     Section 11.12 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart will be an original, and all counterparts will
together constitute one and the same Indenture.

     Section 11.13 Headings. The headings in this Indenture are included for
convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Indenture.

     Section 11.14 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, the Issuer, at its
expense, will effect such recording and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the
Indenture Trustee (which may be counsel to the Issuer or any other counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such
recording is necessary either for the protection of the Secured Parties or any
other Person secured under this Indenture 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 under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection with this Indenture or the Notes, against
(i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee each in its individual
capacities, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity or (iv)
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
have no such obligations in their individual capacities). For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
under this Indenture, the Owner Trustee will be subject to, and entitled to the
benefits of, Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

     Section 11.16 Subordination of Claims against the Depositor.

          (a) The obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture are solely the
obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any
assets of the Depositor. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest
in a Note, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in
or to any Other Assets of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
if such Indenture Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an
interest or claim to, or benefit from, the Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to
have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from the Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or
otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then
such Indenture Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees
that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is
expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other
obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the
securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from,
entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether
or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or
otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under
applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against
the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other
obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement is deemed a
subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder and each Note Owner further
acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 11.16 and this Section 11.16 may be enforced by an action for
specific performance.

          (b) This Section 11.16 is for the third party benefit of those
entitled to rely on this Section 11.16 and will survive the termination of this
Indenture.

     Section 11.17 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, each covenants
and agrees that, before the date that is 1 year and 1 day after the payment in
full of all securities issued by the Depositor or the Issuer, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the
Depositor or the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or State
bankruptcy or similar law in


                                       54

<PAGE>

connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of
the Basic Documents. This Section 11.17 will survive the resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the termination of this
Indenture.

                      CLASS A-1 [_____]% ASSET BACKED NOTES

     Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2006-X, a statutory trust organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), for value received, promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [_____] DOLLARS
payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month, or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in [_____] 2006
(each, a "Payment Date") in an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable to
Noteholders of Class A-1 Notes on such Payment Date from the Principal Payment
Account in respect of principal on the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to Section 3.1
of the Indenture, dated as of [_____], 2006 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee").
However, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be due and payable
on the earlier of the [_____] Payment Date (the "Class A-1 Final Scheduled
Payment Date") or the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
will be due and payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2(a) of the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes will be made ratably to
the Noteholders entitled to such principal payments. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined in this Note are defined in Article I of the Indenture,
which also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Note.

     The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above
on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available
for payment, on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the
preceding Payment Date), subject to certain limitations contained in Section 3.1
of the Indenture. Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from
and including the previous Payment Date on which interest has been paid (or, in
the case of the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date) to
but excluding such Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of
actual days elapsed and a 360-day year.

     The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-1 [_____]% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes") of the Issuer. Also authorized under the
Indenture are the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. The Indenture and all
indentures supplemental to the Indenture set forth the respective


                                     A-1-2

<PAGE>

rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     The Class A-1 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. Interest
on and principal of the Notes will be payable in accordance with the priority of
payments set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

     Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with any
installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this Note, will be
made to the Registered Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities for such wire transfer, if such
Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions
at least 5 Business Days before such Payment Date and such Noteholder's Notes in
the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000, or, if not,
by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered
Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.
However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or any successor
nominee. Such payments will be made without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all
future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note,
whether or not noted on this Note. If funds are expected to be available for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Registered Noteholder of this Note as of the preceding
Record Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile before such Payment
Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's 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 will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-1 Note Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

     The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to
the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face of this Note and the other limitations set forth in the
Indenture. 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 duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
"eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in 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 an amount sufficient


                                     A-1-3

<PAGE>

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 its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken 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 with the Notes and the Indenture, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii)
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have agreed and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary will be fully liable, to the
extent provided by law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

     The obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are solely the
obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any
assets of the Depositor. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no
right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Noteholder or Note Owner either
(i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or
otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then
such Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and
liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization
or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to
the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any
such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled
to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including
the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.

     THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

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

     The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, State, and local income and franchise tax purposes,
the Notes will qualify as


                                     A-1-4

<PAGE>

indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, will be
deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, State and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

     Before the 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 will be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all
adversely affected Noteholders as provided in the Indenture, the amendment of
the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the
consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Indenture
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions are
satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Note Balance of the
Notes Outstanding or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such
Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in
lieu of this Note whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.

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

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

     THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture, will 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 time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.

successors or assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to
any of them for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Note or
performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or
indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Noteholder of this Note, by its
acceptance of this Note, agrees that, except as provided in the Basic Documents,
in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder has no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Note will 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.

     Unless the certificate of authentication on this Note has been executed by
the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note
will not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

                      CLASS A-3 [_____]% ASSET BACKED NOTES

     Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2006-X, a statutory trust organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), for value received, promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [_____] DOLLARS
payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month, or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in [_____] 2006
(each, a "Payment Date") in an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable to
Noteholders of Class A-3 Notes on such Payment Date from the Principal Payment
Account in respect of principal on the Class A-3 Notes pursuant to Section 3.1
of the Indenture, dated as of [_____], 2006 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee").
However, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be due and payable
on the earlier of the [_____] Payment Date (the "Class A-3 Final Scheduled
Payment Date") or the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
will be due and payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2(a) of the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes will be made ratably to
the Noteholders entitled to such principal payments. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined in this Note are defined in Article I of the Indenture,
which also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Note.

     The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above
on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available
for payment, on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the
preceding Payment Date), subject to certain limitations contained in Section 3.1
of the Indenture. Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from
and including the previous Payment Date on which interest has been paid (or, in
the case of the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date) to
but excluding such Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-3 [_____]% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class A-3 Notes") of the Issuer. Also authorized under the
Indenture are the Class A-1 Notes,


                                      A-3-2

<PAGE>

the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes
and the Class D Notes. The Indenture and all indentures supplemental to the
Indenture set forth the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture.

     The Class A-3 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. Interest
on and principal of the Notes will be payable in accordance with the priority of
payments set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

     Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with any
installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this Note, will be
made to the Registered Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities for such wire transfer, if such
Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions
at least 5 Business Days before such Payment Date and such Noteholder's Notes in
the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000, or, if not,
by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered
Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.
However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or any successor
nominee. Such payments will be made without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all
future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note,
whether or not noted on this Note. If funds are expected to be available for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Registered Noteholder of this Note as of the preceding
Record Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile before such Payment
Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's 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 will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-3 Note Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

     The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to
the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face of this Note and the other limitations set forth in the
Indenture. 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 duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
"eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the


                                      A-3-3

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 an amount 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 its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken 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 with the Notes and the Indenture, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii)
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have agreed and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary will be fully liable, to the
extent provided by law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

     The obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are solely the
obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any
assets of the Depositor. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no
right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Noteholder or Note Owner either
(i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or
otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then
such Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and
liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization
or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to
the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any
such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled
to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including
the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.

     THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

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

     The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, State, and local income and franchise tax purposes,
the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal,
State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Issuer.

     Before 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 will be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all
adversely affected Noteholders as provided in the Indenture, the amendment of
the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the
consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Indenture
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions are
satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Note Balance of the
Notes Outstanding or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such
Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in
lieu of this Note whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.

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

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

     THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture, will 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 time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-4 [_____]% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class A-4 Notes") of the Issuer. Also authorized under the
Indenture are the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes. The Indenture and all
indentures supplemental to the Indenture set forth the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     The Class A-4 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. Interest
on and principal of the Notes will be payable in accordance with the priority of
payments set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

     Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with any
installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this Note, will be
made to the Registered Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities for such wire transfer, if such
Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions
at least 5 Business Days before such Payment Date and such Noteholder's Notes in
the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000, or, if not,
by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered
Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.
However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or any successor
nominee. Such payments will be made without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all
future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note,
whether or not noted on this Note. If funds are expected to be available for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Registered Noteholder of this Note as of the preceding
Record Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile before such Payment
Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's 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 will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-4 Note Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

     The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to
the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face of this Note and the other limitations set forth in the
Indenture. 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 duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
"eligible guarantor institution" meeting the


                                      A-4-3

<PAGE>

requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the
same Class in 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 an amount 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 its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken 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 with the Notes and the Indenture, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii)
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have agreed and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary will be fully liable, to the
extent provided by law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

     The obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are solely the
obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any
assets of the Depositor. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no
right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Noteholder or Note Owner either
(i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or
otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then
such Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and
liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization
or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to
the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any
such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled
to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including
the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.

     THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not institute against the
Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the
Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or


                                      A-4-4

liquidation proceedings under any federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in
connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of
the other Basic Documents.

     The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, State, and local income and franchise tax purposes,
the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal,
State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Issuer.

     Before 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 will be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all
adversely affected Noteholders as provided in the Indenture, the amendment of
the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the
consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Indenture
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions are
satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Note Balance of the
Notes Outstanding or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such
Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in
lieu of this Note whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.

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

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

     THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture, will 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 time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.

     Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided

capacity, U.S. Bank Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Noteholder of this Note, by its acceptance of
this Note, agrees that, except as provided in the Basic Documents, in the case
of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder has no claim against
any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Note will 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.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note will
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose.

consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
principal amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions
are satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the principal amount of
the Notes Outstanding or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders,
to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such
Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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.

Issuer under the Indenture.

capacity, U.S. Bank Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Noteholder of this Note, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that, except as provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of
an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder has no claim against any
of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,

enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities,
obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

     Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2006-X, a statutory trust organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), for value received, promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [_____] DOLLARS
payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month, or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in [_____] 2006
(each, a "Payment Date") in an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable to
Noteholders of Class C Notes on such Payment Date from the Principal Payment
Account in respect of principal on the Class C Notes pursuant to Section 3.1 of
the Indenture, dated as of [_____], 2006 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer
and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee").
However, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be due and payable
on the earlier of the [_____] Payment Date (the "Class C Final Scheduled Payment
Date") or the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
will be due and payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2(a) of the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes will be made ratably to
the Noteholders entitled to such principal payments. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined in this Note are defined in Article I of the Indenture,
which also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Note.

     The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above
on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available
for payment, on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the
preceding Payment Date), subject to certain limitations contained in Section 3.1
of the Indenture. Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from
and including the previous Payment Date on which interest has been paid (or, in
the case of the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date) to
but excluding such Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class C [_____]% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class C Notes") of the Issuer. Also authorized under the
Indenture are the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes. The Indenture and all
indentures supplemental to the Indenture set forth the respective


                                      C-2

<PAGE>

rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     The Class C Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class
C Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.

     Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with any
installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this Note, will be
made to the Registered Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities for such wire transfer, if such
Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions
at least 5 Business Days before such Payment Date and such Noteholder's Notes in
the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000, or, if not,
by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered
Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.
However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or any successor
nominee. Such payments will be made without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all
future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note,
whether or not noted on this Note. If funds are expected to be available for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Registered Noteholder of this Note as of the preceding
Record Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile before such Payment
Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's 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 will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class C Note Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

     The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to
the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the
Indenture. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, 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 duly
executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor
institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one
or more new Notes of the same Class in 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


                                      C-3

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

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, each in its
individual capacity, (ii) any 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, each in its individual

contained in the preceding sentence, such Noteholder or Note Owner either (i)

deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or

                     CLASS D [________]% ASSET BACKED NOTES

     Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2006-X, a statutory trust organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), for value received, promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [__] DOLLARS
payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month, or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in [__] 2006 (each,
a "Payment Date") in an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable to
Noteholders of Class D Notes on such Payment Date from the Principal Payment
Account in respect of principal on the Class D Notes pursuant to Section 3.1 of
the Indenture, dated as of [__], 2006 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and
The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"). However,
the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be due and payable on the
earlier of the [__] Payment Date (the "Class D Final Scheduled Payment Date") or
the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes will be due and
payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be immediately due and
payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2(a) of the Indenture. All principal
payments on the Class D Notes will be made ratably to the Noteholders entitled
to such principal payments. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in
this Note are defined in Article I of the Indenture, which also contains rules
as to usage applicable to this Note.

     The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above
on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available
for payment, on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the
preceding Payment Date), subject to certain limitations contained in Section 3.1
of the Indenture. Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from
and including the previous Payment Date on which interest has been paid (or, in
the case of the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date) to
but excluding such Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class D [________]% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class D Notes") of the Issuer. Also authorized under the
Indenture are the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes. The Indenture and all
indentures supplemental to the Indenture set forth the respective

<PAGE>

rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     The Class D Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class
D Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes and the Class C Notes as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.

     Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with any
installment of principal to the extent not in full payment of this Note, will be
made to the Registered Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities for such wire transfer, if such
Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions
at least 5 Business Days before such Payment Date and such Noteholder's Notes in
the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000, or, if not,
by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Registered
Noteholder's address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.
However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or any successor
nominee. Such payments will be made without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all
future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note,
whether or not noted on this Note. If funds are expected to be available for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Registered Noteholder of this Note as of the preceding
Record Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile before such Payment
Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's 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 will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class D Note Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

     The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to
the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the
Indenture. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, 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 duly
executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor
institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one
or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations and in the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. No service charge will be

<PAGE>

charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay an amount 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 its 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, each in its
individual capacity, (ii) any 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, each 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, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person
may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
will 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 obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are solely the
obligations of the Issuer and will not represent any obligation or interest in
any assets of the Depositor other than the Trust Property conveyed to the Issuer
pursuant to Article II of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder and
Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, by
its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and
agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the
Depositor. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions
contained in the preceding sentence, such Noteholder or Note Owner either (i)
asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or
otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any
successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then such
Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated
to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities,
which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance
of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of,
or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement
or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of
distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws,
and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of
post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.

     THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

     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 Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not
institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,

<PAGE>

reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any
federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.

     The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, State, and local income and franchise tax purposes,
the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal,
State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Issuer.

     Before 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 will be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all
adversely affected Noteholders as provided in the Indenture, the amendment of
the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the
consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
principal amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions
are satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the principal amount of
the Notes Outstanding or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders,
to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such
Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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 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
Noteholders under the Indenture.

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

     THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

<PAGE>

     No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture, will 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 prescribed in this Note.

     Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided
in the Basic Documents, none of The Bank of New York, in its individual
capacity, U.S. Bank Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Noteholder of this Note, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that, except as provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of
an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder has no claim against any
of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Note will 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.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note will
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose.
