Agent pursuant to the Triple-A One Security Agreement and the Lien granted to
the Seller pursuant to this Subordinated Security Agreement and the other Liens
permitted pursuant to any of the other Operative Documents, Finco owns each item
of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No
security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to
all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office,
except such as may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to

Subordinated Security Agreement or as may be permitted pursuant to any Operative
Document.

        (b) Perfected Liens. The Liens granted pursuant to this Subordinated
Security Agreement constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of the
Seller, subject only to the prior Lien of the Collateral Agent, and are
enforceable as such against all creditors of and purchasers from Finco.

agrees with the Seller that until the Obligations are paid in full and the Sale
Agreement is terminated:

        (a) Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Seller, and at the sole expense of Finco, Finco will
promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and
take such further action as the Seller may request for the purpose of obtaining
or preserving the full benefits of this Subordinated Security Agreement and of
the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing
of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the
Liens created hereby, including all steps necessary to maintain perfection of
the security interest of Finco in each Vehicle; provided, however, that Finco
shall not be obligated to take any action which, in the reasonable judgment of
the Collateral Agent, would violate or conflict with the terms of the Triple-A
One Security Agreement or any other Operative Document.

        (b) Maintenance of Records. Finco will keep and maintain, or cause to be
maintained by the Servicer, at its cost and expense satisfactory and complete
records of the Collateral, including, without limitation, a record of all
payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Purchased
Contracts. Finco will mark or cause the Servicer to


                                       5
<PAGE>

mark its books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this
Subordinated Security Agreement and the subordinated security interest granted
hereby. With the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, at any time upon
the request of the Seller, Finco shall, during normal business hours, turn over
or cause the Servicer to turn over any books and records to the Seller or to its
designated representatives.

        (c) Compliance with Laws, etc. Finco will comply with all Requirements
of Law applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of
Finco's business; provided, however, that Finco may contest any Requirement of
Law in any reasonable manner which shall not, in the sole opinion of the Seller,
adversely affect the Seller's rights or the priority of its Liens on the
Collateral.

        (d) Compliance with Terms etc. Finco will perform and comply with all
its Contractual Obligations relating to the Subordinated Note.

        (e) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Finco will not create, incur or
permit to exist, will defend the Collateral against, and will take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any Lien or claim on or to the Collateral,
other than the Liens created by the Triple-A One Security Agreement, the Liens
created hereby and other than as permitted pursuant to the Operative Documents,
and will defend the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to any of the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

        (f) Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. Finco will not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt, offer
or contract to do so, except as permitted by the Operative Documents.

        (g) Limitations on Modifications, Waivers, Extensions of Purchased
Contracts. Finco will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, (i) amend,
modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Purchased Contract in any manner
which could have an adverse effect on the value of such Purchased Contract as
Collateral, (ii) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every right
which Finco may have under each Purchased Contract and (iii) act otherwise than
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

        (h) Limitations on Discounts, Compromises, Extensions of Contracts.
Other than pursuant to the Credit and Collection Policy, Finco will not, and
will not permit the Servicer to, grant any extension of the time of payment of
any of the Purchased Contracts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less
than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partially, any Person liable
for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

        (i) Maintenance of Equipment. Finco will maintain each item of Equipment
in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear and immaterial impairments
of value and


                                       6
<PAGE>

damage by the elements excepted, and will provide all maintenance, service and
repairs necessary for such purpose.

        (j) Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Finco will not, without providing
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Seller, and without filing any UCC
financing statements necessary or desirable (in the opinion of the Seller) to
maintain the perfection and priority of the Seller's security interest in the
Collateral, as provided for herein (i) change the location of its state of
incorporation from that specified in Section 4(c) or remove its books and
records from such location, (ii) permit any Equipment that it may acquire to be
kept at a location other than that specified in Section 4(d), or (iii) change
its name, identity or corporate structure to such an extent that any financing
statement filed by the Seller in connection with this Subordinated Security
Agreement would become misleading.

SECTION 6. Seller's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

        (a) Powers. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3 of
the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, Finco hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Seller and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of Finco and in the name of Finco or in its own name, from time to time in
the Seller's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Subordinated Security Agreement, to take any and all lawful and appropriate
action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Subordinated Security
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Finco hereby
gives the Seller the power and right, on behalf of Finco, without notice to or
assent by Finco, to do the following:

               (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Wind-Down Event, in the name of Finco or its own name, or otherwise, to take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Instrument, General
Intangible or Purchased Contract and to file any claim or to take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Seller for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due under any Instrument, General Intangible or Purchased Contract whenever
payable;

               (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral; and

Wind-Down Event, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to the Seller or as the Seller shall direct and to notify the Lock-Box
Banks to follow the instructions of the


                                       7
<PAGE>

Seller; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for,
any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other
documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against Finco with respect to any Collateral; (F)
to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in
clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as the Seller may deem appropriate; (G) generally, to sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof as fully and completely as though the
Seller were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Seller's option and Finco's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
lawful acts and things which the Seller deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the Seller's Liens thereon and to effect the
intent of this Subordinated Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Finco might do; and (H) compel the transfer of Finco's interest in all rights
(by license, sublicense or otherwise) of any computer software necessary to
collect the Purchased Contracts.

        Finco hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof.

        (b) Other Powers. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section
5.3 of the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, Finco also
authorizes the Seller, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in
connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral.

        (c) No Duty on Seller's Part. The powers conferred on the Seller
hereunder are solely to protect the Seller's interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Seller shall
be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Finco for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7. Performance by Seller of Finco's Obligations. Subject to the terms of
Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3 of the Sale Agreement and of the other
Operative Documents, if Finco fails to perform or comply with any of its

Subordinated Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise
cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.


                                       8
<PAGE>

SECTION 8. Remedies. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3
of the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, if a Wind-Down Event
shall occur and be continuing, the Seller may exercise in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to it in this Subordinated Security Agreement and in
any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon Finco or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Seller or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it
may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit
or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Seller shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part
of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Finco,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Finco further agrees, at the
Seller's request, to assemble the Collateral and the Files and make them
available to the Seller at places which the Seller shall select, whether at
Finco's premises or elsewhere. The Seller shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to
the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the Seller hereunder, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, in such order as the Seller may elect, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Seller of any other amount required by
any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the
UCC, need the Seller account for the surplus, if any, to Finco. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Finco waives all claims, damages, and demands
against the Seller arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of Collateral shall
be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if
given (effective upon dispatch) in any manner provided in the Sale Agreement at
least ten (10) days before such sale or disposition. Finco shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Seller to collect such
deficiency.

SECTION 9. Limitation on Seller's Duties in Respect of Collateral. The Seller's
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Seller deals with similar property for its own
account. Neither the Seller nor any of its


                                       9
<PAGE>

directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of Finco or otherwise.

SECTION 10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers of attorney,
authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are
irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

SECTION 11. Severability. Any provision of this Subordinated Security Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 12. Assignment. Finco does hereby acknowledge that the Seller may pledge
or otherwise transfer the Subordinated Note and all security therefore granted
hereunder with the prior written consent of Triple-A One and the Program
Manager.

SECTION 13. Section and Paragraph Headings. The section and paragraph headings
used in this Subordinated Security Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.

SECTION 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Seller shall not by any act
(except pursuant to the execution of a written instrument pursuant to Section 15
hereof), delay, indulge, omit or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Seller, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise or any other right, power
or privilege. A waiver by the Seller of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Seller
would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 15. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or
provisions of this Subordinated Security Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
Finco and the Seller with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and
the Program Manager; provided, however, that for so long as the Triple-A One
Security Agreement shall be in effect, if the Collateral Agent shall have
consented to a waiver, amendment, supplement or modification under the Triple-A
One Security Agreement, the consent of the Seller shall be


                                       10
<PAGE>

deemed automatically given under the comparable provision of this Subordinated
Security Agreement. No amendment shall be effective without prior written notice
thereof to S&P and Moody's. This Subordinated Security Agreement shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to
the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

SECTION 16. Integration. This Subordinated Security Agreement represents the
agreement of Finco with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Seller relative to
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Operative Documents.

SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Subordinated Security Agreement may be executed
by one or more of the parties to this Subordinated Security Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATED SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO UNDER THIS SUBORDINATED SECURITY AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES WHICH MAY
REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 19. Termination and Release.

        (a) This Subordinated Security Agreement and the security interests
created or granted hereby shall remain in full force and effect until the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the Subordinated
Note, at which time, following the receipt by the Seller of (i) written notice
from the Program Manager that the Obligations have been so paid, and (ii)
payment in full of the Subordinated Note, the security interest created or
granted hereby shall terminate and the Seller shall, execute and deliver such
documents and instruments (including without limitation UCC termination
statements) necessary to evidence the termination of such security interest, as
Finco may reasonably request.

        (b)    (i) Finco Request for Release. Finco intends from time to time to
sell Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral (x) to entities which will
then privately or publicly sell securities backed by such Purchased Contracts
and Collateral or (y) in whole loan bulk sales to Onyx Acceptance Corporation
or, with the prior written consent of the Surety Provider, unaffiliated third
parties, in each case, for a cash purchase price of not less than the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Contracts plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and other unpaid Finance Charges with respect thereto. The proceeds of
all sales by Finco pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above shall be applied first,
to prepay the Triple-A One Note in an amount such that no Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists


                                       11

after giving effect to such sale and such prepayment, second, to pay all amounts
owing to the Surety Provider, Triple-A One, the Collateral Agent and the Program
Manager, and third, to prepay the Subordinated Note. Upon not less than five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Seller, Finco may request that
specified Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral be released in
connection with such sales and the prepayment. In connection with such request,
Finco shall execute and deliver to the Seller a Lien Release Request Certificate
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In selecting the Purchased Contracts
enumerated in its Lien Release Request Certificate delivered to the Seller
pursuant hereto, Finco shall employ selection procedures which are not adverse
to the interests of the Seller.

               (ii) Seller Release. Upon the release by the Collateral Agent of
its interest in whole or in part in the Purchased Contracts pursuant to Section
23(b) of the Triple-A One Security Agreement, the Seller shall, at the sole
expense of Finco, execute and deliver a Seller Lien Release Certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B which shall evidence the release of its
security interest in the Purchased Contracts released by the Collateral Agent
under the Triple-A One Security Agreement.

               (iii) Documents and Filings. In connection with any such release
pursuant to this Section 19, Finco and the Seller, shall at the sole expense of
Finco, execute and deliver any documents and instruments necessary to evidence
the release of the Seller's security interest in such Purchased Contracts and
other Collateral, including without limitation, forms UCC-2 prepared for filing
in all appropriate jurisdictions.

SECTION 20. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Subordinated Security Agreement, on the one hand, and the terms of the
Subordinated Note, Section 5.3 of the Sale Agreement or any other Operative
Document, on the other hand, the terms of the Subordinated Note, Section 5.3 of
the Sale Agreement or such other Operative Document, as the case may be, shall
prevail.

SECTION 21. Standstill on Exercise of Rights. The Seller and Finco agree that
neither the Seller nor any permitted assignee of the Seller may exercise or take
any action to enforce any of the rights granted by Finco to the Seller in this
Subordinated Security Agreement until such time as all of the Obligations (as
defined in the Definitions List) of Finco to Triple-A One, the Banks, the Surety
Provider, the Program Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Bank Agent and the Bank
Collateral Agent under the Operative Documents have been indefeasibly paid in
full in cash.
