     specified therein. The holding by the Person named in any such certificate
     of any Bearer Note specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a
     period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of
     any determination of such holding (A) another certificate bearing a later

     record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining
     whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have
     authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the
     Notes Outstanding shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no
     such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date
     shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
     provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record
     date.

             (d)     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the Holder
of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.

Noteholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

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

             (b)     the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Section
7.01(c)) if in writing and mailed, first-Class postage prepaid, to the Issuer
addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

     Section 1.06. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER.

             (a)     Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any
Registered Note provides for notice to Registered Noteholders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein, in such Indenture
Supplement or in such Registered Note expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic
transmission or personally delivered to each Holder of Registered Note affected
by such event, at such Noteholder's address as it appears in 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 Registered
Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery
neither the failure to mail, send by facsimile, electronic transmission or
deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Noteholders shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, electronic
transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have
been presumed to have been duly given.

                                       21
<Page>

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

             (b)     In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail
service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be
impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder of a Registered Note when
such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,
then any method of notification as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of
such notice.

             (c)     No notice shall be given by mail, facsimile, electronic
transmission or otherwise delivered to a Holder of Bearer Notes or coupons in
bearer form. In the case of any Class with respect to which any Bearer Notes are
Outstanding, any notice required or permitted to be given to Holders of such
Bearer Notes shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper within the time
period prescribed in this Indenture or the applicable Indenture Supplement.

             (d)     With respect to any Class of Notes, the applicable
Indenture Supplement may specify different or additional means of giving notice
to the Holders of the Notes of such Class.

             (e)     Where this Indenture provides for notice to any Rating
Agency, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or
obligations created hereunder and shall not under any circumstance constitute an
Adverse Effect.

     Section 1.07. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If and to the extent that
any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties
imposed by, or with another provision (an "incorporated provision") included in
this Indenture by operation of, Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust
Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control. If
any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be
deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may
be.

     Section 1.08. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 1.09. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not. All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents of the Indenture
Trustee.

     Section 1.10. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent,
the Note Registrar, Enhancement Providers (to the extent specified in the
applicable Enhancement Agreement) and the Holders of Notes (or such of them as
may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.

     Section 1.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     Section 1.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Indenture referred to in the Trust Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                   NOTE FORMS

     Section 2.01. FORMS GENERALLY. The Notes shall have such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture or the applicable Indenture Supplement and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon, as may be required to comply with applicable laws
or regulations or with the rules of any securities exchange, or as may,
consistently herewith, be determined by the Issuer, as evidenced by the Issuer's
execution of such Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on
the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the
Note.

     The definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel
engraved borders) or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by
the Issuer, as evidenced by the Issuer's execution of such Notes, subject, with
respect to the Notes of any Series or Class, to the rules of any securities
exchange on which such Notes are listed.

     Section 2.02. FORMS OF NOTES. Each Note shall be in one of the forms

the Indenture Trustee the Issuer Certificate by or pursuant to which such form
of Note has been approved, which Issuer Certificate shall have attached thereto
a true and correct copy of the form of Note which has been approved thereby or,
if an Issuer Certificate authorizes a specific officer or officers of the
Beneficiary to approve a form of Note, a certificate

                                       23
<Page>

of such officer or officers approving the form of Note attached thereto. Any
form of Note approved by or pursuant to an Issuer Certificate must be acceptable
as to form to the Indenture Trustee, such acceptance to be evidenced by the
Indenture Trustee's authentication of Notes in that form or a certificate signed
by an Indenture Trustee Authorized Officer and delivered to the Issuer.

     Section 2.03. FORM OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION.

     Section 2.04. NOTES ISSUABLE IN THE FORM OF A GLOBAL NOTE.

             (a)     If the Issuer establishes pursuant to Sections 2.02 and
3.01 that the Notes of a particular Series or Class are to be issued in whole or
in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Issuer shall execute
and the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.03
and the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent
thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note or Notes, which, unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement (i) shall represent,
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal
Amount (or in the case of Discount Notes, the aggregate Stated Principal Amount
at the Scheduled Final Payment Date of such Notes) of the Outstanding Notes of
such Series or Class to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such
portion thereof as the Issuer shall specify in an Issuer Certificate, (ii) in
the case of Registered Notes, shall be registered in the name of the Depository
for such Global Note or Notes or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the
Indenture Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's
instruction, (iv) if applicable, shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Issuer
or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any note
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or
otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein" and (v) may bear such other legend
as the Issuer, upon advice of counsel, deems to be applicable.

                                       24
<Page>

             (b)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.04
or of Section 3.05, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless
the terms of a Global Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly
permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual
Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the
manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depository for such
Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global
Note selected or approved by the Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor
Depository.

             (c)     With respect to Notes issued within the United States,
unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, or with
respect to Notes issued outside the United States, if specified in the
applicable Indenture Supplement:

             (i)     If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies
     the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for
     such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such
     Series or Class ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
     Securities Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the
     Issuer shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global
     Note. If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by
     the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the Issuer receives such notice or
     becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer shall execute, and the
     Indenture Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of an Issuer Certificate
     requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such
     Series or Class in exchange for such Global Note, shall authenticate and
     deliver, individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms
     in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal
     Amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

             (ii)    The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion
     determine that the Notes of any Series or Class or portion thereof issued
     or issuable in the form of one or more Global Notes shall no longer be
     represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event the Issuer shall
     execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Certificate
     for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series or
     Class in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, shall
     authenticate and deliver individual Notes of such Series or Class of like
     tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount
     equal to the Stated Principal Amount of such Global Note or Notes
     representing such Series or Class or portion thereof in exchange for such
     Global Note or Notes.

             (iii)   If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Sections 2.02 and
     3.01 with respect to Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note,
     the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in
     exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such Series or Class
     of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable
     to the Issuer and such Depository. Thereupon the Issuer shall execute, and
     the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without
     service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Note
     or Notes of the same Series or Class of like tenor and terms and of any
     authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate Stated
     Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial
     interest in the Global Note; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note
     of

                                       25
<Page>

     like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the
     difference, if any, between the Stated Principal Amount of the surrendered
     Global Note and the aggregate Stated Principal Amount of Notes delivered to
     the Holders thereof.

             (iv)    If any Event of Default has occurred with respect to such
     Global Notes, and Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the
     unpaid Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Global Notes of that
     Class advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository that a Global Note is
     no longer in the best interest of the Noteholders, the Holders of Global
     Notes of that Class may exchange such Notes for individual Notes.

             (v)     In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
     paragraphs, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent
     shall authenticate and deliver individual Notes in definitive registered
     form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire Stated
     Principal Amount of a Global Note for individual Notes, such Global Note
     shall be canceled by the Indenture Trustee or its agent. Except as provided
     in the preceding paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note
     pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
     authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Note, pursuant
     to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
     shall instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar in writing. The
     Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall deliver such Notes to the
     Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

     Section 2.05. TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTES AND PERMANENT GLOBAL NOTES.

             (a)     If specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement for any
Series or Class, all or any portion of a Global Note may initially be issued in
the form of a single temporary Global Bearer Note or Registered Note (the
"Temporary Global Note"), without interest coupons, in the denomination of the
entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class and substantially in
the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto attached to the
applicable Indenture Supplement. The Temporary Global Note shall be
authenticated by the Indenture Trustee upon the same conditions, in
substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Notes in
definitive form. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged as described below
or in the applicable Indenture Supplement for permanent global Bearer Notes or
Registered Notes (the "Permanent Global Notes").

             (b)     Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture
Supplement, exchanges of beneficial interests in Temporary Global Notes for
beneficial interests in Permanent Global Notes shall be made as provided in this
clause. The Beneficiary shall, upon its determination of the date of completion
of the distribution of the Notes of such Series or Class, so advise the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Foreign Depository, and each foreign clearing
agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not prior to the
Exchange Date, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee at
its London office or its designated agent outside the United States Permanent
Global Notes in bearer or registered form (as specified in the applicable
Indenture Supplement) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the entire
aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class. Bearer Notes so issued and
delivered may have coupons attached. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged
for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global Notes only on or
after the Exchange Date. A United

                                       26
<Page>

States Person may exchange the portion of the Temporary Global Note beneficially
owned by it only for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global
Notes in registered form bearing the applicable legend set forth in the form of
Registered Note attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement and having a
minimum denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if the Issuer
so elects. The Issuer may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if
it so elects. Upon any demand for exchange for Permanent Global Notes in
accordance with this clause, the Issuer shall cause the Indenture Trustee to
authenticate and deliver the Permanent Global Notes to the Holder (x) outside
the United States, in the case of Bearer Notes and (y) according to the
instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Notes, but in either case
only upon presentation to the Indenture Trustee of a written statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 (or such other form as the Issuer may
determine) with respect to the Temporary Global Note, or portion thereof being
exchanged, signed by a foreign clearing agency and dated on the Exchange Date or
a subsequent date, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested
telex a certification substantially in the form of (i) in the case of beneficial
ownership of the Temporary Global Note, or a portion thereof being exchanged, by
a United States institutional investor pursuant to this clause, the certificate
in the form of Exhibit D-2 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine)
signed by the Beneficiary which sold the relevant Notes or (ii) in all other
cases, the certificate in the form of Exhibit D-3 (or such other form as the
Issuer may determine), the certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being
dated on the earlier of the first payment of interest in respect of such Note
and the date of the delivery of such Note in definitive form. Upon receipt of
such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Temporary Global Note
to be endorsed in accordance with clause (d). Any exchange as provided in this
Section shall be made free of charge to the Holders and the beneficial owners of
the Temporary Global Note and to the beneficial owners of the Permanent Global
Note issued in exchange, except that a person receiving the Permanent Global
Note must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in
the event that such Person does not receive such Permanent Global Note in person
at the offices of a foreign clearing agency.

             (c)     The delivery to the Indenture Trustee by a foreign clearing
agency of any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding
certification or certifications has or have been delivered to such foreign
clearing agency pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

             (d)     Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Temporary
Global Note for a Permanent Global Note or Notes, such Temporary Global Note
shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to reflect the
reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of such Permanent Global Note or Notes. Until so exchanged in full, such
Temporary Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as Permanent Global Notes authenticated and delivered
hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Note shall
not be entitled to receive payments of interests on the Notes until they have
exchanged their beneficial interests in such Temporary Global Note for Permanent
Global Notes.

     Section 2.06. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF GLOBAL NOTES. Until definitive Notes
have been issued to the applicable Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.04 or as
otherwise specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement,

                                       27
<Page>

             (a)     the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the
applicable clearing agency and the clearing agency's participants for all
purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized
representatives of the respective Note Owners; and

             (b)     the rights of the respective Note Owners shall be exercised
only through the applicable clearing agency and the clearing agency's
participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Note Owners and the clearing agency and/or the clearing agency's
participants. Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable clearing agency,
unless and until Notes in definitive form are issued pursuant to Section 2.04,
the clearing agency shall make book-entry transfers among the clearing agency's
participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on
the related Notes to such clearing agency's participants.

     For purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Noteholders evidencing a
specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Outstanding
Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the
clearing agency and the clearing agency's participants) owning interests in
Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes.

     Section 2.07. NOTICES TO DEPOSITORY. Whenever any notice or other
communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which
book-entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Notes in definitive form
shall have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall
give all such notices and communications to the applicable Depository.

with respect to such Series or Class without preference, priority or distinction
on account of the actual time of the authentication and delivery or the
Scheduled Final Payment Date or Legal Final Maturity Date of the Notes of such
Series or Class, except as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement for
such Series or Class.

             (c)     Each Note issued must be part of a Series or Class of Notes

belonging to a Class in any Series may be entitled to specified payment
priorities over other Classes of Notes in that Series.

             (e)     There shall also be established in or pursuant to an
Indenture Supplement or pursuant to an Issuer Certificate or terms document
related to the applicable Indenture Supplement before the initial issuance of
Notes of each such Series or Class, provision for:

             (i)     the Series designation;

     currency or currencies other than that in which the Notes are stated to be
     payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions
     upon which, such election may be made;

             (vii)   if the amount of payments of principal of or interest, if

     to be payable, (B) changes in the prices of one or more other securities or
     groups or indexes of securities or (C) changes in the prices of one or more

Holders of Notes registered as such on such Record Dates, or may bear no

     Section 3.03. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY AND DATING.

             (a)     The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an
Issuer Authorized Officer. The signature of any officer of the Beneficiary or
the Owner Trustee on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

             (b)     Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time an Issuer Authorized Officer shall bind the
Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold
such offices before the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not
hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes.

             (c)     At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer
to the Indenture Trustee for authentication; and the Indenture Trustee shall,
upon request by an Officer's Certificate, authenticate and deliver such Notes as
in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

             (d)     Before any such authentication and delivery, the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any Officer's Certificate
and Opinion of Counsel required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section 1.02, the Issuer Certificate and any

                                       31
<Page>

other opinion or certificate relating to the issuance of the Series or Class of
Notes required to be furnished pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 3.10.

             (e)     The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to authenticate

Series or Class, all Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

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

     Section 3.04. TEMPORARY NOTES.

             (a)     Pending the preparation of definitive Notes of any Class,
the Issuer may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by Section
3.03, together with an Officer's Certificate, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the Issuer may determine, as evidenced by the Issuer's execution
of such Notes.

             (b)     If temporary Notes of any Class are issued, the Issuer
shall cause definitive Notes of such Class to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes of such
Class shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes of such Class upon surrender of
the temporary Notes of such Class at the office or agency of the Issuer in a
Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Issuer shall execute and the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
Stated Principal Amount of definitive Notes of such Class of authorized
denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary
Notes of such Class shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Notes of such Class.

     Section 3.05. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

             (a)     The Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept a register
(herein sometimes referred to as the "Note Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the
registration of Registered Notes, or of Registered Notes of a particular Class,
and for transfers of Registered Notes or of Registered Notes of such Class. Any
such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being
converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times
the information contained in such register or registers shall be available for
inspection by the Indenture Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by
the Issuer as provided in Section 11.02.

                                       32
<Page>

             (b)     Subject to Section 2.04, upon surrender for transfer of any
Registered Note of any Class at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of
Payment, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer
shall execute, and, upon receipt of such surrendered note, the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Registered Notes of such Class of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Scheduled Final
Payment Date and Legal Final Maturity Date and of like terms.

             (c)     Subject to Section 2.04, at the option of the Holder, Notes
of any Class may be exchanged for other Notes of such Class of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Scheduled Final
Payment Date and Legal Final Maturity Date and of like terms, upon surrender of
the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Registered Notes, including
Registered Notes received in exchange for Bearer Notes, may not be exchanged for
Bearer Notes. At the option of the Holder of a Bearer Note, subject to
applicable laws and regulations, Bearer Notes may be exchanged for other Bearer
Notes or Registered Notes (of the same Class) of authorized denominations of
like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Noteholders' interest, upon
surrender of the Bearer Notes to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Note
Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Note surrendered
pursuant to this Section shall have attached thereto all unmatured coupons;
provided, however, that any Bearer Note, so surrendered after the close of
business on the last day of the month preceding the relevant Payment Date need
not have attached the coupon relating to such Payment Date. Whenever any Notes
are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver (in the case of Bearer Notes, outside the United
Sates), the Notes which the Noteholders making the exchange are entitled to
receive.

             (d)     By acquiring a Note, each purchaser and transferee shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note
with the plan assets of an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, a "plan" as defined in Section 4975
of the Code, an entity deemed to hold the plan assets of any of the foregoing by
reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity, or a
governmental plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the
fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (b)
the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA of Section 4975 of the Code
(or, in the case of a governmental plan, any substantially similar applicable
law).

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

             (f)     Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

             (g)     Unless otherwise provided in the Note to be transferred or
exchanged, no service charge shall be made on any Noteholder for any transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the

                                       33
<Page>

Issuer may (unless otherwise provided in such Note) require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant
to Section 3.04 or 10.06 not involving any transfer.

             (h)     None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Note Registrar shall have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

             (i)     The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to act
as Note Registrar for the Registered Notes on its behalf. The Issuer may at any
time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Note Registrar in
place of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes issued under
this Indenture.

             (j)     Registration of transfer of Notes containing the following
legend or to which the following legend is applicable:

             THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
             ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"). NEITHER
             THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD
             EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF
             THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ANY
             STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN
             AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS.
             THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
             CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.

shall be effected only if such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, or is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act. In the event that
registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act other than Rule 144A under
the Securities Act or Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities
Act, the transferor or the transferee shall deliver, at its expense, to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, an investment letter from the transferee,
substantially in the form of the investment letter attached hereto as Exhibit C
or such other form as the Issuer may determine, and no registration of transfer
shall be made until such letter is so delivered.

     Notes issued upon registration or transfer of, or Notes issued in exchange
for, Notes bearing the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend
unless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar receive an
Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend
may be removed.

                                       34
<Page>

     Whenever a Note containing the legend referred to above is presented to the
Note Registrar for registration of transfer, the Note Registrar shall promptly
seek instructions from the Issuer regarding such transfer and shall be entitled
to receive an Issuer Certificate prior to registering any such transfer. The
Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee
and to hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by them in relation to any such
instructions furnished pursuant to this clause.

     Section 3.06. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN NOTES.

             (a)     If (i) any mutilated Note (together, in the case of Bearer
Notes, with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered
to the Indenture Trustee, or the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note,
and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that such
Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and
upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (in the
case of Bearer Notes, outside the United States), in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor,
Series or Class, Scheduled Final Payment Date, Legal Final Maturity Date and
Stated Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

             (b)     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

             (c)     Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the
Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected
therewith.

             (d)     Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Notes of the same Series or Class duly issued hereunder.

             (e)     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

     Section 3.07. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

             (a)     Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Note
pursuant to Section 3.01, interest payable on any Registered Note shall be paid
to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
registered at the close of business on the most recent Record Date and interest
payable on any Bearer Note shall be paid to the bearer of that Note (or the
applicable coupon).

             (b)     Subject to clause (a), each Note delivered under this
Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall
carry the rights to interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to
accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other Note.

Owner Trustee, the Beneficiary and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or the Beneficiary may treat the Person who is
proved to be the owner of such Note pursuant to Section 1.04(c) as the owner of
such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to
Section 3.07) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, or the Beneficiary shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     Section 3.09. CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
transfer, conversion or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, if not already
canceled, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver
to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee.
No Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled
as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Notes in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the
Issuer.

             an Adverse Effect on any Outstanding Notes;

                     (B)    all instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee
             conform to the requirements of this Indenture and constitute

             bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws

                            ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

     Section 4.01. COLLECTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and
collect, directly and without intervention or assistance from any fiscal agent
or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture including, without limitation,
all funds and other property payable to the Indenture Trustee in connection with
the Collateral (collectively, the "Collections"). The Indenture Trustee shall
hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Collateral and
shall apply it as provided in this Indenture.

     Section 4.02. ACCOUNTS.

             (a)     Accounts; Deposits to and Distributions from Accounts. On
or before the Effective Date, the Issuer shall cause to be established and
maintained three or more Qualified Accounts (the "Collection Account", the
"Excess Funding Account" and the "Backup Servicer Account") in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, each bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the
Noteholders and any applicable Enhancement Provider. From time to time in
connection with the issuance of a Series or Class of Notes, the Indenture
Trustee may establish one or more Qualified Accounts denominated as
"Supplemental Accounts" in the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Collection
Account, Excess Funding Account and Backup Servicer Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Secured Parties. If, at any time, the institution holding the Collection Account
ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Issuer shall within ten (10) Business
Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to
which each Rating Agency may consent in writing) establish a new Collection
Account, Excess Funding Account or Backup Servicer Account that is a Qualified
Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Collection
Account or new Excess Funding Account, as the case may be. From the date such
new Collection Account or new Excess Funding Account is established, it shall be
the "Collection Account", the "Excess Funding Account" or "Backup Servicer
Account", as the case may be. Supplemental Accounts shall be created as
specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement. Any Supplemental Account shall
receive deposits as set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement. All
payments to be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
to Noteholders (or in respect of Backup Servicer Fees and Expenses, to the
Person entitled thereto) out of funds in the Accounts pursuant to this Indenture
shall be made by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to the Paying Agent not
later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the applicable Payment Date or
earlier, if necessary, or as otherwise provided in Article V or the applicable
Indenture Supplement but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable
Supplemental Account or Sub-Account.

             (b)     Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02(c) or the
terms of any Indenture Supplement, the Servicer shall deposit Collections into
the Collection Account as promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of
such Collections, but in no event later than the second Business Day after such
Date of Processing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
for so long as (i) Case Credit remains the Servicer hereunder, (ii) no

                                       39
<Page>

Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) (x) Case Credit
maintains a short-term rating of at least A-1 by S&P and P-1 by Moody's (and for
five Business Days following any reduction of either such rating), (y) Case
Credit arranges for and maintains a letter of credit or other form of
Enhancement in respect of the Servicer's obligations to make deposits of
collections on the Receivables in the Collection Account that is acceptable in
form and substance to each Rating Agency and any Agents or (z) Case Credit
otherwise obtains the Rating Agency confirmations described below, then, subject
to any limitations in the confirmations described below, the Servicer need not
make the daily deposits of Collections into the Collection Account as provided
in Section 4.01, but may make a single deposit into the Collection Account in
same-day or next-day funds not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
Payment Date in a net amount equal to the amount which would have been on
deposit with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period in the
Collection Account; provided, however, that prior to ceasing daily deposits as
described above the Transferor shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee
written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the failure by Case
Credit to make daily deposits shall not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any outstanding Series or Class.

             (c)     With respect to any Collection Period, whether the Servicer
is required to make deposits of Collections pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b)
above, (i) the Servicer shall only be required to deposit Collections into the
Collection Account up to the aggregate amount of Collections required to be
deposited into any Series Account or, without duplication, distributed on the
related Payment Date to Noteholders, to any Agent or to any Enhancement Provider
pursuant to the terms of any Indenture Supplement or Enhancement Agreement and
(ii) if at any time prior to such Payment Date the amount of Collections
deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be deposited
pursuant to clause (i) above, the Servicer shall be permitted to withdraw the
excess from the Collection Account.

             (d)     Unless otherwise directed by Servicer, upon direction of
the Servicer funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall be withdrawn
and paid to Transferor on any day to the extent that the Transferor Amount
exceeds the Trust Available Subordinated Amount on such day. On any Transfer
Date on which one or more Series is in an Amortization Period, Servicer shall
determine the aggregate amounts of Principal Shortfalls, if any, with respect to
each such Series (after giving effect to the allocation and payment provisions
in the Indenture Supplement with respect to each such Series), and Servicer
shall instruct Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw such amount from the
Excess Funding Account (up to an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount on
deposit in the Excess Funding Account after application of the preceding
sentence on that day and (y) the amount, if any, by which the Transferor Amount
would be less than zero if there were no funds on deposit in the Excess Funding
Account on that day) on such Transfer Date and allocate such amount among each
such Series as specified in each related Indenture Supplement.

             (e)     On each Payment Date to the extent that any Backup Servicer
Fees are then due and payable, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee
in writing to withdraw from the Backup Servicer Account an amount equal to such
Backup Servicer Fees then due and payable, and distribute such amount to the
Person entitled thereto. If the amount on deposit in the Backup Servicer Account
on any Payment Date (after giving effect to the withdrawal therefrom for the
payment of Backup Servicer Fees for such Payment Date) is greater than the
Backup

                                       40
<Page>

Servicer Account Required Amount, the excess will be released to the Transferor.
The Transferor (and any of its transferees and assignees) shall in no event be
required to refund any amounts properly distributed to it pursuant to this
Section 4.02(e). To the extent a Backup Servicer Account Shortfall Amount exists
on any Payment Date, the Servicer agrees, within thirty days of demand thereof,
to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Backup Servicer Account,
such Backup Servicer Account Shortfall Amount.

     Section 4.03. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNTS.

             (a)     Funds on deposit in the Accounts shall be invested and
reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Issuer in
one or more Permitted Investments. The Issuer may authorize the Indenture
Trustee to make specific investments pursuant to written instructions, in such
amounts as the Issuer shall specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, funds held
by the Indenture Trustee in any of the Accounts shall be invested in Permitted
Investments that shall mature in each case no later than the date on which such
funds in the Accounts are scheduled to be transferred or distributed by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture (or as necessary to provide for
timely payment of principal or interest on the applicable Principal Payment Date
or Interest Payment Date).

             (b)     All funds deposited from time to time in the Accounts
pursuant to this Indenture and all investments made with such funds shall be
held by the Indenture Trustee in the Accounts as part of the Collateral as
herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee for the purposes
set forth herein.

             (c)     Funds and other property in any of the Accounts shall not
be commingled with any other funds or property of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall: (i) hold each Permitted Investment (other
than those described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) that constitutes
investment property through a securities intermediary, which securities
intermediary shall agree with the Indenture Trustee that (A) such investment
property at all times shall be credited to a securities account of the Indenture
Trustee, (B) all property credited to such securities account shall be treated
as a financial asset, (C) such securities intermediary shall treat the Indenture
Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset
credited to such securities account, (D) such securities intermediary shall
comply with entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without the
further consent of any other person or entity, (E) such securities intermediary
shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee to
comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the
Indenture Trustee, (F) such securities account and all property credited thereto
shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or
encumbrance in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through
such securities intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee), and (G) such
agreement between such securities intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New York; (ii) maintain possession of
each other Permitted Investment not described in clause (i) above (other than
those described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) in the State of New
York separate and apart from all other property held by the Indenture Trustee;
and (iii) cause each Permitted Investment described in clause (c) of the
definition thereof to be registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee by the
issuer thereof; provided, that, other than following an Event of Default and
acceleration pursuant to Section 7.02, no Permitted Investment shall be disposed
of prior to its

                                       41
<Page>

maturity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Indenture
Trustee shall not hold any Permitted Investment through an agent except as
expressly permitted by this Section 4.03(c). Each term used in this Section
4.03(c) and defined in the New York UCC shall have the meaning set forth in the
New York UCC.

             (d)     On each Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of
losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Transfer Date on
funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account shall
be treated as Available Interest Amounts and applied pursuant to Section 5.01
for such Transfer Date. Unless otherwise stated in the related Indenture
Supplement, for purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance
in the Accounts for any reason under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement,
investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on
deposit.

     Subject to Section 8.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be
held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Accounts resulting from any
loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable
to the Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such Permitted
Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in
accordance with their terms.

             (e)     Funds on deposit in the Accounts shall be invested and
reinvested by the Indenture Trustee to the fullest extent practicable, in such
manner as the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time determine, but only in
one or more Permitted Investments, upon the occurrence of any of the following
events:

             (i)     the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions
     to the Indenture Trustee; or

             (ii)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing
     but no Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 7.02.

Transferor Amount; PROVIDED that, if the Transferor Amount (determined after
giving effect to the transfer of Principal Receivables to the Issuer on such
date) is less than the Trust Available Subordinated Amount or if the Adjusted
Pool Balance is less than the Required Pool Balance, Servicer shall not allocate

into the Collection Account and shall pay, or be deemed to pay, such amounts as
collected to Transferor.

     Section 5.07. PAYMENTS WITHIN A SERIES OR CLASS. All payments of principal,
interest or other amounts to Holders of the Notes of a Series or Class shall be
made in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

(f) (if the Event of Default under clause (c) or (f) is with respect to less
than all Series and Classes of Notes then Outstanding) of Section 7.01 occurs
and is continuing with respect to any Series or Class, then and in each and
every such case, unless the principal of all the Notes of such Series or Class
shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the
Majority Holders of the Notes of such Series or Class then Outstanding hereunder
(each such Series or Class acting as a separate Class), by notice in writing to
the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the
Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all the Notes of such Series or Class
then Outstanding and all interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid (if
any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration

Class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if
given by Holders), may declare the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all
the Notes then Outstanding and all interest accrued or principal accreted and
unpaid (if any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
notwithstanding anything in this Indenture, the related Indenture Supplements or
the Notes to the contrary.

Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing beyond the relevant cure period, if any,
then the Notes of all Series and Classes shall automatically be and become
immediately due and payable by the Issuer, without notice or demand to any
Person, and the Issuer shall automatically and immediately be obligated to pay
off the Notes.

             (d)     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has
been made with respect to the Notes of any Series or Class and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture
Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VII provided, the Majority Holders of
such Series or Classes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

             (x)     the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee
     a sum sufficient to pay (i) all overdue installments of interest on the
     Notes of such Series or Class, (ii) the principal of any Notes of such
     Series or Class which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
     acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor
     by the terms of the Notes of such Series or Class, to the extent that
     payment of such interest is lawful, (iii) interest upon overdue
     installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefore by the
     terms of the Notes of such Series or Class to the extent that payment of
     such interest is lawful, and (iv) all sums paid by the Indenture Trustee
     hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
     the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
     Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07; and

             (y)     all Events of Default with respect to such Series or Class
     of Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes of such
     Series or Class which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been
     cured or waived as provided in Section 7.16.

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

     Section 7.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The Issuer covenants that if:

             (a)     the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on any
     Series or Class of Notes when such interest becomes due and payable, or

             (b)     the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any
     Series or Class of Notes at the Legal Final Maturity Date thereof, and any
     such default continues beyond any specified grace period provided with
     respect to such Series or Class of Notes, the Issuer shall, upon demand of
     the Indenture Trustee, pay (subject to the allocation provided in Article
     V, this Article VII and any related Indenture Supplement) to the Indenture
     Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of any such Notes of the affected
     Series or Class, the whole amount then due and payable on any such Notes
     for principal and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of
     such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon the overdue principal and
     upon overdue installments of interest, (i) in

                                       47
<Page>

     the case of Interest-bearing Notes, at the rate of interest applicable to
     the stated principal amount thereof, unless otherwise specified in the
     applicable Indenture Supplement; and (ii) in the case of Discount Notes, as
     specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, and in addition thereto,
     shall pay such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
     expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
     disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel
     and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07.

     If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes of such
Series or Class and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the
manner provided by law out of the Collateral or any other obligor upon such
Notes, wherever situated.

     Section 7.04. INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or the
property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then
be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand on the
Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise,

             (i)     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
     and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such
     other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to
     have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the
     reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
     Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
     Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07) and of the Noteholders allowed in
     such judicial proceeding, and

             (ii)    to collect and receive any funds or other property payable
     or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
     receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar
     official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
     Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee and in the event
     that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
     directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due
     to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
     of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
     the Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any
plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

     Section 7.05. INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF
NOTES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes of any
Series or Class may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without
the possession of any of the Notes of such Series or Class or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted
by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee, its agent and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes of the Series or Class in respect of which such judgment
has been recovered.

     Section 7.06. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money or other property
collected by the Indenture Trustee with respect to a Series or Class of Notes
pursuant to this Article VII shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in case of the distribution of
such money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Notes
of such Series or Class and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

             (a)     first, to the payment of all amounts due and owing to the
     Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07(a);

             (b)     second, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid
     upon the Notes of that Series or Class for principal and interest, in
     respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
     ratably, without preference or priority of any kind (but subject to the
     allocation provided in Article V of this Indenture and the related
     Indenture Supplements), according to the amounts due and payable on such
     Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

             (c)     third, to the Issuer.

     Section 7.07. INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY ELECT TO HOLD THE COLLATERAL. Following
an acceleration of any Series or Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee may elect
to continue to hold the Collateral and apply distributions in accordance with
the regular distribution provisions pursuant to Article V of this Indenture,
except that principal shall be paid on the accelerated Class of Notes to the
extent funds are received from the Collections and allocated to the accelerated
Class, and payment is permitted by the subordination provisions, if any, of the
accelerated Class.

     Section 7.08. SALE OF RECEIVABLES FOR ACCELERATED NOTES. In the case of a
Series or Class of Notes that has been accelerated following an Event of
Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and shall, if one of the conditions in
subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.08 is met, sell Principal
Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables (or interests therein). If
a Series or Class of Notes is accelerated before its Legal Final Maturity Date,
each holder of the accelerated Notes may notify the Indenture Trustee in writing
that it desires to cause the Issuer to sell Principal Receivables and the
related Non-Principal Receivables, or interests in Principal Receivables and the
related Non-Principal Receivables, with respect to the Notes of that Series or
Class. Noteholders of a Series or Class can only cause a sale of receivables if
at least one of the following conditions is met:

                                       49
<Page>

             (a)     the Holders of at least 90% of the Outstanding Dollar
     Principal Amount of the Notes of that Series or Class have notified the
     Indenture Trustee in writing that they desire to cause the issuer to sell
     Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables, or
     interests in Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal
     Receivables, with respect to their Series or Class of Notes;

             (b)     the Holders of a Majority of the Outstanding Dollar
     Principal Amount of the Notes of that Series or Class have notified the
     Indenture Trustee in writing that they desire to cause the Issuer to sell
     Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables, or
     interests in Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal
     Receivables, with respect to their Series or Class of Notes and the net
     proceeds of the sale of Receivables pursuant to that sale, as described
     below, plus amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account would be
     sufficient to pay all amounts due on the Notes of that Series or Class; or

             (c)     (1) the Indenture Trustee determines that the funds to be
     allocated to the Notes of that Series or Class, including (A) Collections
     allocated to that Series or Class and (B) amounts on deposit in the
     Principal Funding Account, may not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to
     make payments on the Notes of that Series or Class as those payments would
     have become due if those obligations had not been declared due and payable
     and (2) Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal
     Amount of the Notes of that Series or Class have notified the Indenture
     Trustee in writing that they desire to cause the Issuer to sell Principal
     Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables, or interests
     Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables, with
     respect to their Series or Class of Notes.

     If any of the conditions in the preceding paragraph are met, the Indenture
Trustee shall cause the Issuer to sell Principal Receivables and the related
Non-Principal Receivables on behalf of all Holders of the Notes of that Series
or Class, whether or not they have actually given notice of their desire to
cause a sale of Receivables or interests in Principal Receivables and the
related Non-Principal Receivables, in the amount specified in the related
Indenture Supplement. The Holders of the accelerated Notes shall maintain their
rights in their Notes until the Holders deliver their Notes to the Issuer as
required in connection with the application of the sale proceeds to payment of
the amounts due on the related Class or Series of Notes.

     If an Event of Default occurs relating to the failure to pay principal of
or interest on a Series or Class of Notes in full on the related Legal Final
Maturity Date, the Issuer shall automatically sell Receivables on such date.

     Section 7.09. NOTEHOLDERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIRECT THE TIME, METHOD AND
PLACE OF CONDUCTING ANY PROCEEDING FOR ANY REMEDY AVAILABLE TO THE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. The Majority Holders of any accelerated Series or Class of Notes have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Indenture Trustee, in respect of such Series or Class. This
right may be exercised only if the direction provided by the Noteholders does
not conflict with applicable law or this Indenture and does not have a
substantial likelihood of involving the Indenture Trustee in personal liability.
The Holder of any Note will have the right

                                       50
<Page>

to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of and interest on
their Note on its Legal Final Maturity Date.

     Section 7.10. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Note of any Series or
Class shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

             (a)     such Holder has previously given written notice to the
     Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Notes of
     such Series or Class;

             (b)     the Holders of not less than 25% in Outstanding Dollar
     Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series or Class have made
     written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in
     respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
     hereunder;

             (c)     such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
     Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
     and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

             (e)     no direction inconsistent with such written request has
     been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by
     the Majority Holders of such Series or Class;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes of such
Series or Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by
availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any other Holders of Notes of such Series or Class, or to obtain or to
seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Notes of such Series
or Class.

     Section 7.11. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST; LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note
on the Legal Final Maturity Date expressed in the related Indenture Supplement
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the
obligation to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount
payable to any Noteholder shall be without recourse to CWRI, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any affiliate, officer, employee or director of
any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on
the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder shall be subject to
Article V and the allocation and payment provisions of the Indenture
Supplements.

     Section 7.12. 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

                                       51
<Page>

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

     Section 7.13. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 7.14. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article 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 7.15. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Majority Holders of any Series or
Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes
of such Series or Class, provided that:

             (a)     the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to
     follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by
     counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken
     or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Indenture Trustee in good
     faith shall, by an Indenture Trustee Authorized Officer, determine that the
     proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be
     unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and

             (b)     the Indenture Trustee may take any other action permitted
     hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent
     with such direction.

     Section 7.16. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Majority Holders of any Series
or Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Series or Class
waive any past default hereunder or under the related Indenture Supplement with
respect to such Series or Class and its consequences, except a default not
theretofore cured:

             (a)     in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note
     of such Series or Class, or

             (b)     in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
     Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
     of each Outstanding Note of such Series or Class.

                                       52
<Page>

     Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 7.17. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Indenture Trustee for any action taken 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 and expenses, against any
party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the
aggregate more than 25% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Notes of any Series or Class to which the suit relates, or to any
suit instituted by any Noteholders for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Legal Final
Maturity Date expressed in such Note.

     Section 7.18. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 8.01. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

             (a)     The Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to
the Notes of any Series or Classes, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee.

             (b)     In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture
Trustee may, with respect to Notes of any Series or Class, conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture but need

                                       53
<Page>

not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or
other facts stated therein.

             (c)     In case an Event of Default with respect to any Series or
Class of Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall
exercise with respect to the Notes of such Series or Class such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a fiduciary would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

             (d)     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

             (i)     this clause (d) shall not be construed to limit the effect
     of subsection (a) of this Section;

             (ii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
     judgment made in good faith by an Indenture Trustee Authorized Officer,
     unless it will be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in
     ascertaining the pertinent facts;

             (iii)   the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
     any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
     with the direction of the Majority Holders of any Series or Class relating
     to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
     available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
     conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to
     the Notes of such Series or Class; and

             (iv)    no provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture
     Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
     liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
     exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
     grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity
     satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against such risk or liability is not
     reasonably assured to it.

             (e)     Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section.

     Section 8.02. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Within sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of any default hereunder of which an Indenture Trustee Authorized
Officer has actual knowledge or has received written notice thereof with respect
to Notes of any Series or Class,

             (a)     the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Registered Noteholders of such Series or Class, as their names and addresses
appear in the Note Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the
Indenture Trustee,

                                       54
<Page>

             (b)     the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Holders of Bearer
Notes of such Series or Class, by publication of notice of such default in an
Authorized Newspaper, or as otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture
Supplement, and

             (c)     the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written
notification thereof to the Rating Agencies, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived;

provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Note of such Series or Class, the Indenture
Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Indenture Trustee Authorized Officers of the Indenture Trustee
in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests
of the Noteholders of such Series or Class. For the purpose of this Section, the
term "default," with respect to Notes of any Series or Class, means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to Notes of such Series or Class.

     Section 8.03. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01:

             (a)     the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
     protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
     certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
     direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document
     (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine
     and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

             (b)     any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein
     shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate;

             (c)     whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
     Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
     established before taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
     Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed)
     may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer's
     Certificate;

             (d)     the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel of its own

     taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
     thereon;

             (e)     the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
     exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
     request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture,

     expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
     such request or direction;

             (f)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any

     report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or
     other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may
     make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
     may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such
     further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
     books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or
     attorney, with reasonable prior written notice to Issuer and during
     Issuer's regular business hours;

             (g)     the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or

     Notes, but shall cooperate with the Issuer in connection with the filing of
     such financing statements or continuation statements.

     Section 8.04. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF NOTES. The
recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the
Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Indenture

Indenture or of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

<Page>

     incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any provision
     of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable
     expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such
     expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence
     or bad faith; and

             (iii)   to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers,
     directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any
     and all loss, liability, claim, obligation, damage, injury, judgment or
     expense (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses

     defending itself against any claim or liability (whether asserted by the
     Issuer, the Servicer, any Holder or any other Person) in connection with
     the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no recourse to any asset of the Issuer other
than funds available pursuant to Section 7.06 or to any Person other than the

Section 8.10.

     Section 8.08. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS. If the Indenture
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the

the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture. Nothing herein shall prevent the Indenture Trustee from
filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last
paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 8.09. CORPORATE INDENTURE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY. There
shall at all times be an Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to each Series
or Class of Notes, which Indenture Trustee shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority, and having a rating of at least BBB-
by S&P. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The
Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with the Issuer, serve as Indenture
Trustee. If at any time the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series or
Class of Notes shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of

hereinafter specified in this Article.

     Section 8.10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

                                       57
<Page>

             (a)     No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee under Section 8.11.

             (b)     The Indenture Trustee may resign with respect to any Series
or Class of Notes at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If
an instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee.

             (c)     The Indenture Trustee may be removed with respect to any
Series or Class of Notes at any time by Act of the Majority Holders of that
Series or Class, delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer.

             (d)     If at any time:

             (i)     the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b)
     of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Series or Class of Notes
     after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder who has
     been a bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series or Class for at least six
     (6) months, or

             (ii)    the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible under
     Section 8.09 with respect to any Series or Class of Notes and fails to
     resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such
     Noteholder, or

             (iii)   the Indenture Trustee becomes incapable of acting with
     respect to any Series or Class of Notes, or

             (iv)    the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or
     a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property is appointed or any
     public officer takes charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its
     property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
     liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee, with
respect to the Series or Class, or in the case of clause (iv), with respect to
all Series or Classes, or (B) subject to Section 7.17, any Noteholder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Note of such Series, Class and Class for at least
six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture
Trustee with respect to such Series or Class and the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Series or Class, or, in the case of clause
(iv), with respect to all Series and Classes.

             (e)     If the Indenture Trustee resigns, is removed or becomes
incapable of acting with respect to any Series or Class of Notes, or if a
vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any
Series or Class of Notes for any cause, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Indenture Trustee for that Series or Class of Notes. If, within one
year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series or Class of
Notes is appointed by Act of the Majority Holders of such Series or Class
delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture

                                       58
<Page>

Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Indenture Trustee with
respect to such Series or Class and supersede the successor Indenture Trustee
appointed by the Issuer with respect to such Series or Class. If no successor
Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series or Class shall have been so
appointed by the Issuer or the Noteholders of such Series or Class and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series or Class for at least six (6) months
may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
with respect to such Series or Class.

             (f)     The Issuer shall give written notice of each resignation
and each removal of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series or Class
and each appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series
or Class to each Noteholder as provided in Section 1.06 and to each Rating
Agency. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee
and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.

     Section 8.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. Every successor
Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Issuer and to the predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective with
respect to any Series or Class as to which it is resigning or being removed as
Indenture Trustee, and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee with respect to any such Series
or Class; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee, such
predecessor Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if
any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Indenture
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Indenture Trustee,
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee
all property and money held by such predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder with
respect to all or any such Series or Class, subject nevertheless to its lien, if
any, provided for in Section 8.07. Upon request of any such successor Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all reasonably requested instruments,
with terms mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the successor Indenture
Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

     In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) Series or Classes, the Issuer,
the predecessor Indenture Trustee and each successor Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Notes of any applicable Series or Class shall execute and deliver
an Indenture Supplement which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the predecessor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of any Series or
Class as to which the predecessor Indenture Trustee is not being succeeded shall
continue to be vested in the predecessor Indenture Trustee, and shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such Indenture
Supplement shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co- trustees of the same
trust and that each

                                       59
<Page>

such Indenture Trustee shall be Indenture Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
such Indenture Trustee.

     No successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series or Class of Notes
shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Indenture Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that
Series or Class under this Article.

     Section 8.12. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.
Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The Issuer shall give
prompt written notice of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession to
the Rating Agencies. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Indenture Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

     Section 8.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST ISSUER. If and when
the Indenture Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other
obligor upon the Notes), the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. An Indenture Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act to the extent provided therein.

     Section 8.14. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. At any time when any of
the Notes remain Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the
Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or
more Series or Classes of Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes of such Series or Classes issued
upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.06, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as
if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made
in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Indenture
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference
shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be
a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer itself, subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in

                                       60
<Page>

its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. The initial
Authenticating Agent for the Notes of all Series and Classes shall be the
Indenture Trustee.

     Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at
any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written
notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the
Issuer, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the Issuer and shall give notice to each Noteholder as provided in Section
1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

     The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other
than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Issuer from time to
time) reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, pursuant
to the provisions of Section 8.07.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more Series or Classes is made
pursuant to this Section, the Notes of such Series or Classes may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication,
an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

     This is one of the Notes of the Series or Classes designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Supplement, shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information
required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such

is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, upon
written request, shall furnish the Servicer with all such information known to
the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably requested and required in connection
with the preparation of all tax returns of the Issuer, and shall, upon request,
execute such returns. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee be personally liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the
Issuer or any Noteholder arising under any tax law, including without
limitation, federal, state or local income or excise taxes or any other tax
imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect
thereto arising from a failure to comply therewith).

in Section 9.01 and the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders received
by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture
Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 9.01 upon
receipt of a new list so furnished.

             (b)     If three (3) or more Holders of Notes of any Series or
Class (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the
Indenture Trustee, and furnish to the Indenture Trustee reasonable proof that
each such applicant has owned a Note of such Series or Class for a period of at
least six (6) months preceding the date of such application, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
of Notes of such Series or Class or with the Holders of all Notes with respect
to their rights under this Indenture or under such Notes and is accompanied by a
copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose
to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days
after the receipt of such application, at its election, either

             (i)     afford such applicants access to the information preserved
     at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 9.02(a), or

             (ii)    inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
     Holders of Notes of such Series or Class or all Notes, as the case may be,
     whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time
     by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 9.02(a), and as to the
     approximate cost of mailing to such Noteholders the form of proxy or other
     communication, if any, specified in such application.

     If the Indenture Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access
to such information, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of
such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Registered Note of such Series or
Class or to all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, whose names and
addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with Section 9.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness
after a tender to the Indenture Trustee of the material to be mailed and of
payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing,
unless, within five (5) days after such tender, the Indenture Trustee shall mail
to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Indenture Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of
the Holders of Notes of such Series or Class or all Noteholders, as the case may
be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall
specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a
hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry
of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall
find, after notice and

                                       64
<Page>

opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and
shall enter an order so declaring, the Indenture Trustee shall mail copies of
such material to all Registered Noteholders of such Series or Class or all
Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the
entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Indenture
Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants
respecting their application.

             (c)     Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the
Indenture Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any
such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes in
accordance with Section 9.02(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Indenture Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under
Section 9.02(b).

     The Servicer, the Transferor and the Issuer may amend the Transfer and
     Servicing Agreement with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not
     less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of

     provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
     provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any
     manner the rights of Noteholders. No amendment, however, may:

             (a)     reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the timing of

     of amounts to be so distributed without the consent of each affected
     Noteholder;

             (b)     change the definition or the manner of calculating the

             (d)     adversely affect the rating of any Series or Class by any
     Rating Agency without the consent of the Noteholders of the Series or Class
     evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar
     Principal Amount of Notes of the Holders of the Series or Class; or

                                       71
<Page>

             (e)     reduce that percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal
     Amount of Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any
     amendment without the consent of each Noteholder.

     Promptly following the execution of any amendment to the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement other than an amendment described in the preceding
paragraph, the Indenture Trustee shall notify each Noteholder in writing of the
substance of the amendment.

     The Issuer, and Servicer and the Transferor may amend the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement without the consent of any Noteholder in any manner that:

             (i)     provides that funds in the Collection Account may be
     invested in any Eligible Investments;

             (ii)    provides that the Transferor need not make any deposit to
     the Collection Account in respect of the Repurchased Receivables price of
     any Designated Receivables repurchased from the Issuer so long as the
     Transferor Amount exceeds the Trust Available Subordinated Amount and the
     Adjusted Pool Balance and the amounts in the Principal Funding Accounts
     exceeds the Required Pool Balance on the date of the repurchase;

             (iii)   otherwise changes the procedures for removing Receivables
     from the Issuer;

             (iv)    provides that, subject to the limitations set forth in the
     Transfer and Servicing Agreement, Case Credit, in its capacity as Servicer,
     need not deposit Collections with respect to any Collection Period in the
     Collection Account until the related Payment Date;

             (v)     permits the designation of Automatic Additional Accounts;
     or

             (vi)    provides for the conveyance to the Issuer of undivided
     interests in the Receivables rather than the Receivables themselves.

     The Transfer and Servicing Agreement may not be amended in any manner which
materially adversely affects the interests of any Enhancement provider without
its prior written consent.

     Section 10.08. AMENDMENTS TO THE TRUST AGREEMENT.

             (a)     Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of any Notes or the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee (at the written direction of the Beneficiary) and the Beneficiary may
amend the Trust Agreement so long as such amendment shall not have an Adverse

                                   ARTICLE XI

               REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF ISSUER

     Section 11.01. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. With respect to each
Series or Class of Notes, the Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal
of and interest on such Notes in accordance with their terms and this Indenture,
and shall duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions
contained in, or made in this Indenture for the benefit of, the Notes of such
Series or Class.

     Section 11.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer shall maintain
an office, agency or Paying Agent in each Place of Payment where Notes may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for
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 shall give
prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer
shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     Section 11.03. MONEY FOR NOTE PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. The Paying
Agent, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall make distributions to
Noteholders from the Collection Account or other applicable Account pursuant to
the provisions of Article V of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and
shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Indenture Trustee. Any
Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the
Collection Account or other applicable Account for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and
remove the Paying Agent if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole
discretion that the Paying Agent has failed to perform its obligations under
this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement in any material respect. The Paying
Agent upon removal shall return all funds in its possession to the Indenture
Trustee.

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

                                       73
<Page>

             (a)     hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of or
     interest on Notes of such Series or Class in trust for the benefit of the
     Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
     otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

             (b)     if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, give the
     Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor
     upon the Notes of such Series or Class) in the making of any such payment
     of principal or interest on the Notes of such Series or Class;

             (c)     if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any
     time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request
     of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums
     so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

             (d)     immediately resign as a Paying Agent and, if such Paying
     Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee
     all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it
     ceases to meet the standards described in this Section required to be met
     by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

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

     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any Series or Class of Notes or
for any other purpose, pay, or by an Officer's Certificate direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or
such Paying Agent in respect of each and every Series or Class of Notes as to
which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all
sums so held in trust by the Issuer in respect of all Notes, such sums to be
held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums
were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such money.

     Any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Note of any Series or Class and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer
upon request in an Officer's Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease. The Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer give notice to the Holders
of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as provided
in Section 1.06, a notice that such funds remain unclaimed and that, after a
date specified in the notice, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from
the date on which the notice was first mailed or published to the Holders of the
Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in

                                       74
<Page>

trust, any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining shall be paid to the
Issuer free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

     The Issuer initially authorizes the Indenture Trustee to act as Paying
Agent for the Notes on its behalf. The Issuer may at any time and from time to
time authorize one or more Persons (including the Indenture Trustee) to act as
Paying Agent in addition to or in place of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
any Series or Class of Notes issued under this Indenture.

     Each Paying Agent shall at all times have a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by a United
States federal or state authority or be regulated by or subject to the
supervision or examination of a governmental authority of a nation that is
member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. If such
Paying Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Paying Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition as so published.

     Section 11.04. STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Issuer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, on or before April 30 of each year,
beginning in 2004, a written statement signed by an Issuer Authorized Officer
stating that:

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

             (b)     to the best of such Issuer Authorized Officer's knowledge,
     based on such review, the Issuer has complied in all material respects with
     all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such year, or,
     if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or
     covenant (without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice),
     specifying each such default known to such Issuer Authorized Officer and
     the nature and status thereof.

     Section 11.05. LEGAL EXISTENCE. The Issuer shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal
existence.

     Section 11.06. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS. Upon request of the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more
effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

     Section 11.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Issuer shall comply with the
requirements of all applicable laws, the noncompliance with which would,
individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Issuer to perform its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture.

     Section 11.08. NOTICE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Issuer agrees to give the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies prompt written notice of each Event of
Default hereunder and

obligations under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and any default of an
Enhancement Provider.

     Section 11.09. CERTAIN NEGATIVE COVENANTS. The Issuer shall not:

             (a)     claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the
     principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts
     withheld in good faith from such payments under the Internal Revenue Code
     or other applicable tax law);

             (b)     permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to
     be impaired, or permit the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee, the
     Noteholders and any applicable Enhancement Provider created by this
     Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or
     discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or
     obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be
     expressly permitted hereby;

             (c)     permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest,

     created by this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise
     upon or burden the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein
     or the proceeds thereof; or

             (d)     permit the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee, the
     Noteholders and any applicable Enhancement Provider created by this
     Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in the
     Collateral; or

             (e)     voluntarily dissolve or liquidate.

     Section 11.10. NO OTHER BUSINESS. The Issuer shall not engage in any
business other than as permitted under the Trust Agreement.

any Series or Class are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule
144(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act, the Issuer agrees to provide to any
Noteholder of such Series or Class and to any prospective purchaser of Notes
designated by such Noteholder, upon the request of such Noteholder or
prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such Holder or
prospective purchaser to satisfy the conditions set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Exchange Act.

     Section 11.13. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS.

             (a)     The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its
reasonable best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that
would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or
obligations under any instrument or agreement included in

                                       76
<Page>

the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Indenture, the Trust Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

             (b)     The Issuer shall punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, any Indenture
Supplement, the Trust Agreement and in the instruments and agreements relating

Agreement or any provision thereof without the consent of the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each adversely affected
Series or Class.

             (c)     Without derogating from the absolute nature of the
assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights
of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it shall not,

Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each affected Series or Class, amend, modify,

the issuance date of each Series of Notes and shall survive the pledge of the
Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.

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

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

Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The
Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing

     Section 12.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Unless otherwise specified in the
applicable Indenture Supplement related to a Series or Class of Notes, pursuant
to the terms of this Article,

                                       80
<Page>

the Issuer shall pay, provided that funds are available, Monthly Principal to
Holders of each affected Series or Class of Notes upon the occurrence of any
Early Amortization Event. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture
Supplement relating to a Series or Class of Notes, or in the form of Notes for
such Series or Class, the following are "Early Amortization Events":

             (a)     the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to the
     Transferor or an Originator;

             (b)     the Issuer or the Transferor becomes an investment company
     within the meaning of the Investment Company Act; or

             (c)     with respect to any Series or Class of Notes, any
     additional Early Amortization Event specified in the Indenture Supplement
     for such Series or Class as applying to such Series or Class.

     On each Monthly Principal Accrual Date following the end of the Monthly
Period in which the Early Amortization Event occurs, Monthly Principal payments
on such Class of Notes shall thereafter be made on each following Monthly
Principal Accrual Date until the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such
Class, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, is paid in full or the Legal Final
Maturity Date occurs, whichever is earlier, subject to Article V, Article VII
and the allocations, deposits and payments provisions of the related Indenture
Supplement. Any funds in any Supplemental Account for a redeemed Class shall be
applied to make the principal and interest payments on that Class on the
redemption date, subject to Article V, Article VII and the allocations, deposits
and payments sections of the related Indenture Supplement. Principal payments on
redeemed Classes shall be made first to the senior-most Notes until paid in
full, then to the subordinated Notes, if any, until paid in full.

     Section 12.02. OPTIONAL REPURCHASE. Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Indenture Supplement for a Series or Class of Notes, the Servicer has
the right, but not the obligation, to redeem a Series or Class of Notes in whole
but not in part on any day on or after the day on which the aggregate Collateral
Amount of such Series or Class is reduced to less than 10% of its Initial Dollar
Principal Amount; provided, however, that if such Series or Class of Notes is of
a subordinated Class, the Servicer shall not redeem such Notes if the provisions
of the related Indenture Supplement would prevent the payment of such
subordinated Note until a level of prefunding of the principal funding
sub-accounts for the senior Classes of Notes for that Series has been reached
such that the amount of such deficiency in the required subordination of a
senior Class of Notes is no longer required to provide subordination protection
for the senior Classes of that Series. If the Servicer elects to redeem a Series
or Class of Notes, it shall cause the Issuer to notify the Holders of such
redemption at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date. The
redemption price of a Series or Class so redeemed shall equal the Outstanding
Dollar Principal Amount of such Class, plus interest accrued and unpaid or
principal accreted and unpaid on such Class to but excluding the date of
redemption, the payment of which shall be subject to Article V, Article VII and
the allocations, deposits and payments provisions of the related Indenture
Supplement.

     If the [Servicer] is unable to pay the redemption price in full on the
redemption date, monthly payments on such Class of Notes shall thereafter be
made until the Outstanding Dollar

                                       81
<Page>

Principal Amount of such Class, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, is paid in
full or the Legal Final Maturity Date occurs, whichever is earlier, subject to
Article V, Article VII and the allocations, deposits and payments provisions of
the related Indenture Supplement. Any funds in any Supplemental Account for a
redeemed Class shall be applied to make the principal and interest payments on
that Class on the redemption date in accordance with the related Indenture
Supplement. Principal payments on redeemed Classes shall be made in accordance
with the related Indenture Supplement.

     Section 12.03. NOTICE. Promptly after the occurrence of a redemption
pursuant to Section 12.02, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the
Rating Agencies in writing of the identity, Stated Principal Amount and
Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the affected Series or Class of Notes to
be redeemed. Notice of redemption shall promptly be given as provided in Section

of the applicable Series or Class of Notes pursuant to this Article shall begin,
which shall be the Principal Payment Date next following the end of the Monthly
Period in which the applicable redemption pursuant to Section 12.02 occurs, (b)
the redemption price for such Series or Class of Notes, which shall be equal to
the Outstanding principal amount of such Series or Class plus interest accrued
or principal accreted and unpaid (if any), the payment of which shall be subject
to Article V, Article VII and the allocations, deposits and payments provisions
of the related Indenture Supplement and (c) the Series or Class of Notes to be

     Section 13.01. RECORDING, ETC.

             (a)     The Issuer intends the Security Interest granted pursuant
to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other
liens in respect of the Collateral. Subject to Section 13.03, the Issuer shall
take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain a perfected lien on and
security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee. The
Issuer shall from time to time execute or authorize and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments,
all as prepared by the Issuer, and shall take such other action necessary or
advisable to:

             (i)     grant a Security Interest more effectively in all or any
     portion of the Collateral;

             (ii)    maintain or preserve the Security Interest (and the
     priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more effectively

             (v)     preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights
     of the Indenture Trustee in such Collateral against the claims of all
     persons and parties; or

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

             (b)     The Issuer shall from time to time promptly pay and
discharge all financing and continuation statement recording and/or filing fees,
charges and taxes relating to this Indenture, any amendments thereto and any
other instruments of further assurance. The Issuer hereby designates the
Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney- in-fact to execute upon the Issuer's
failure to do so, any financing statement, continuation statement or other
instrument required by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section.

             (c)     Without limiting the generality of clauses (a)(ii) or
(a)(iii):

             (i)     The Issuer shall cause this Indenture, all amendments and
     supplements hereto and/or all financing statements and continuation
     statements and any other necessary documents covering the Indenture
     Trustee's right, title and interest to the Collateral to be promptly
     recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept, recorded,
     registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be
     required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest
     of the Indenture Trustee to all property comprising the Collateral. The
     Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or
     filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided
     above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or
     filing.

             (ii)    Within 30 days after the Issuer makes any change in its
     name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing
     statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph
     (d)(i) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506, 9-507 or
     9-508 (or any comparable provision) of the UCC, the Issuer shall give the
     Indenture Trustee notice of any such change and shall file such financing
     statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of
     the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Collateral.

             (iii)   The Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee prompt notice
     of any relocation of its chief executive office, place of business or State
     of location, and any change in the jurisdiction of its organization, and
     whether, as a result of such relocation or change, the applicable provision
     of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously
     filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement
     and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary
     to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Indenture Trustee's
     security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer shall at all times maintain
     its chief executive office within the United States.

             (b)     The duty of the Indenture Trustee to execute any instrument
     required pursuant to this Section shall arise only if the Indenture Trustee
     has knowledge of the type described in Section 7.01(c) of any default of
     the Issuer in complying with the provisions of this Section.

     Section 13.02. TRUST INDENTURE ACT REQUIREMENTS. The release of any
Collateral from the lien created by this Indenture or the release of, in whole
or in part, such liens, shall not be deemed to impair the Security Interests in
contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or
liens are released pursuant to the terms hereof. The Indenture Trustee and each
of the Noteholders and any applicable Enhancement Provider acknowledge that a
release of Collateral or liens in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be
deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Security Interests in
contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, without
limitation, the Issuer and each other obligor on the Notes shall cause Trust
Indenture Act Section 314(d) relating to the release of property or securities
from the liens hereof to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required
by Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d) may be made by an officer of the
appropriate obligor, except in cases in which Trust Indenture Act Section 314(d)
requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person.

     Section 13.03. SUITS TO PROTECT THE COLLATERAL. Subject to the provisions
of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall have power to institute and to
maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any
impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation
of this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Indenture Trustee may
deem expedient to preserve or protect the interests of the Noteholders and any
applicable Enhancement Provider and the interests of the Indenture Trustee and
the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and
maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with
any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with,
such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security Interests or be
prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the Indenture
Trustee). No counterparties to an Enhancement Agreement may direct the Indenture
Trustee to enforce the Security Interest. Each Enhancement Provider's rights
consist solely of the right to receive collections allocated for its benefit
pursuant to the related Indenture Supplement.

     Section 13.04. PURCHASER PROTECTED. In no event shall any purchaser in good
faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain
the authority of the Indenture Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as
to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the
exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration
given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other
transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article to be sold be
under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or
any other obligor, as applicable, to make any such sale or other transfer.

     Section 13.05. POWERS EXERCISABLE BY RECEIVER OR TRUSTEE. In case the
Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully
appointed, the powers conferred in this Article upon the Issuer or any other
obligor, as applicable, with respect to the release, sale or other disposition
of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument
signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar
instrument of the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, or of any officer
or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article.

     Section 13.06. DETERMINATIONS RELATING TO COLLATERAL. In the event (i) the
Indenture Trustee shall receive any written request from the Issuer or any other
obligor for consent or approval with respect to any matter or thing relating to
any Collateral or the Issuer's or any other obligor's obligations with respect
thereto or (ii) there shall be due to or from the Indenture Trustee under the
provisions hereof any performance or the delivery of any instrument or (iii) the
Indenture Trustee shall become aware of any nonperformance by the Issuer or any
other obligor of any covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty of
the Issuer or any other obligor set forth in this Indenture, then, in each such
event, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to hire experts, consultants,
agents and attorneys to advise the Indenture Trustee on the manner in which the
Indenture Trustee should respond to such request or render any requested
performance or response to such nonperformance or breach (the expenses of which
shall be reimbursed to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07). The
Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected in the taking of any action
recommended or approved by any such expert, consultant, agent or attorney or
agreed to by the Majority Holders of the Outstanding Notes.

     Section 13.07. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.

             (a)     Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to
Section 8.07, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer or when
otherwise required by the provisions of this Indenture, execute instruments to
release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture
Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances which are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article shall
be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds.

             (b)     Upon delivery of an Officer's Certificate certifying that
the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture have been satisfied and discharged
by complying with the provisions of this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall
(i) execute and deliver such releases, termination statements and other
instruments (in recordable form, where appropriate) as the Issuer or any other
obligor, as applicable, may reasonably request evidencing the termination of the
Security Interests created by this Indenture and (ii) not to be deemed to hold
the Security Interests for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders
and any applicable Enhancement Provider.

             (c)     CWRI and the Noteholders shall be entitled to receive at
least ten (10) days written notice of any action pursuant to clause (a),
accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee
shall also be entitled to require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of
Counsel, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to
the taking of such action have been complied with. Counsel rendering any such
opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and
validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture
Trustee in connection with any such action.

     Section 13.08. CERTAIN ACTIONS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE. Any action taken by
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of the release of
Collateral shall be taken by the

                                       85

<Page>

             (a)     The Servicer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Payment Date on which the
Noteholders of any Series or Class may surrender their Notes for payment of the
final distribution on and cancellation of such Notes. Not later than the fifth
day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Series or
Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to
Noteholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon which final
payment of such Series or Class shall be made upon presentation and surrender of
Notes of such Series or Class at the office or offices therein designated, (ii)
the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such payment date is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein
specified (which, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United
States). The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note Registrar and
the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

             (b)     Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of
any Series or Class (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in any Account allocated
to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such
Noteholders, and the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds
to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if certificated. In the event
that all such Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation
within six (6) months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture
Trustee described in paragraph (a), the Indenture Trustee shall give a second
notice to the remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which
surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United
States). If within one year after the second notice all such Notes shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining such Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account or any
Supplemental Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Indenture
Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer any monies held by them for
the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years.
After payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the
Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property
law designates another Person.

to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto
(including all moneys then held in any Account) and all proceeds thereof, except

be reasonably requested by the Beneficiary to vest in the Beneficiary or any of
its designees all right, title and interest which the Indenture Trustee had in
the Collateral and such other property.
