        2.        On or before the date hereof, the Company shall establish and
maintain with the [Indenture] Trustee for the benefit of [the Noteholders] [and]
[the Class [__] Certificateholders] a segregated trust account in the name of
the [Indenture] Trustee (the "Yield Supplement Account") [in accordance with the
Securities Account Control Agreement and the Indenture], or such other account
as may be acceptable to the Rating Agencies, and the Company hereby grants to
the [Indenture] Trustee for the benefit of [the Noteholders] [and] [the Class
[__] Certificateholders] a first priority security interest in the monies on
deposit and the other property that from time to time comprise the Yield
Supplement Account (including the Initial Yield Supplement Amount), and any and
all proceeds thereof (collectively, the "Yield Supplement Account Property").
The [Relevant] Trustee shall possess all of the rights of a secured party under
the UCC with respect thereto; provided that income from the investment of funds
in the Yield Supplement Account and the right to receive such income are
retained by the Company and not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed
hereunder or under the [Sale] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement. The Yield
Supplement Account Property and the Yield Supplement Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the [Relevant] Trustee. Neither the Company nor any
Person claiming by, through or under the Company shall have any right, title or
interest in, any control over the use of, or any right to withdraw from amounts
from, the Yield Supplement Account Property or the Yield Supplement Account
(other than income from the investment of funds in the Yield Supplement
Account). All Yield Supplement Account Property in the Yield Supplement Account
shall be applied by the [Relevant] Trustee as specified in this Yield Supplement
Agreement and the [Sale] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement. The [Relevant]
Trustee shall, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Business Day
preceding each Distribution Date, withdraw from the Yield Supplement Account

payable to the Company therefrom) and deposit in the [Collection Account]
[Certificate Account] an amount equal to the Yield Supplement Deposit for such
Distribution Date.

                  On or prior to the date hereof, the Company shall deposit
$[___________] (the "Initial Yield Supplement Amount") into the Yield Supplement
Account. The amount required to be on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account on
the date of issuance of [the Notes] [and] [the Certificates] and for any
Distribution Date (the "Required Yield Supplement Amount"), as determined by the
Servicer and notified to the [Relevant] Trustee, means an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum aggregate Yield Supplement Deposit that will become
due hereunder, assuming that payments on the Receivables are made on their
scheduled due dates and no Receivable becomes a prepaid Receivable, or (ii) the
Initial Yield Supplement Amount. The [Relevant] Trustee shall have no duty or
liability to determine the Required Yield Supplement Amount and may fully rely
on the determination thereof by the Servicer. If, on any Distribution Date, the
funds in the Yield Supplement Account are in excess of the Required Yield
Supplement Amount for such Distribution Date after giving effect to all
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, the [Relevant] Trustee shall
pay the Company the amount of such excess. The Yield Supplement Account shall
not be part of the Trust. It is the intent of the parties that the Yield
Supplement Account Property be treated as property of the Company for all
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. The provisions of
this Yield Supplement Agreement should be interpreted accordingly. Further, the
Company shall include in its gross income all income earned on the Yield
Supplement Account Property and the Yield Supplement Account.

investments shall be made in the name of the [Relevant] Trustee. Earnings on
investment of funds in the Yield Supplement Account shall be paid to the
Company on each Distribution Date, and losses and any investment expenses
shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. Upon termination of
the trusts established under the Trust Agreement and the Indenture]
[Pooling and Servicing Agreement], as directed in writing by the Servicer,

deposit in the Yield Supplement Account. If for any reason the Yield
Supplement Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account] no longer
satisfies the requirements relating to eligibility of accounts set forth in
