                  The foregoing Grant is made in trust to the Trust Collateral

in the States of New York and Minnesota and under the law of all jurisdictions
governing the creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral.

Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as Definitive Notes.

          Section 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
                       ---------------------------------------------------

          (a)  The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Issuer shall provide for the registration of the Notes and, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.5, the registration of transfers of the Notes. The
Trustee shall be "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering the Notes and
transfers of the Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note
Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to
make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

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

          (c)  All the Notes effected by the registration of transfer or
exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing
the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. This Section
2.4(c) shall be the sole method of a transfer or exchange of the Notes.

          (d)  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the
Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Note Registrar shall not register,
transfers or exchanges of the Notes selected for redemption for a period of 15
days preceding the Payment Date.

          Section 2.5.  Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.
                        -------------------------------------

          (a) No transfer of a Note shall be made unless such transfer is (i) to
the Issuer, (ii) to any person the transferor reasonably believes is a qualified
institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a
transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or
(iii) in a transaction complying with or exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.
Each prospective transferee by its acquisition of any Note, acknowledges that
each Note will contain a legend substantially to the following effect (unless
the Issuer determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law):

                  THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
          OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
          LAWS OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING ANY NOTE,
          AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT SUCH NOTE IS BEING ACQUIRED
          FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE
          RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY TO (1) THE ISSUER (UPON REDEMPTION
          THEREOF OR OTHERWISE), (2) TO A PERSON THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY
          BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A
          UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
          RULE 144A OR (3) IN A TRANSACTION OTHERWISE EXEMPT FROM THE
          REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, APPLICABLE SECURITIES
          LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, IN
          EACH SUCH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE INDENTURE AND ALL APPLICABLE
          SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER
          JURISDICTION.

          (b) Each transferee of Notes represented by an interest in the Rule
144A Global Note will be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows (terms
used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act
are used herein as defined therein):

                  (1) The transferee (A) is a qualified institutional buyer, (B)
          is aware that the sale of the Notes to it is being made in reliance on
          the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the
          Securities Act and (C) is acquiring the Notes for its own account or
          for one or more accounts, each of which is a qualified institutional
          buyer, and as to each of which the transferee exercises sole
          investment discretion, for the transferee and for each such account.
          The transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and
          business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
          of its investment in the Notes, and the transferee and any accounts
          for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the
          transferee's or its investment.

                                       13

<PAGE>

                  (2) The transferee understands that the Notes are being
          offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the
          United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Notes have
          not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and, if
          in the future the transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or
          otherwise transfer the Notes, such Notes may be offered, resold,
          pledged or otherwise transferred only in accordance with the legend on
          such Notes described above. The transferee acknowledges that no
          representation is made by the Issuer as to the availability of any
          exemption under the Securities Act or any state securities laws for
          resale of the Notes.

                  (3) The transferee has carefully read and understands the
          Private Placement Memorandum, including, without limitation, the "Risk
          Factors" section therein, and has based its decision to purchase the
          Notes upon the information contained therein and not upon any
          information, if any, provided to it by any of the Issuer, the Seller,
          the Agents or any other Person. The transferee is not purchasing the
          Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition
          thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The transferee understands
          that an investment in the Notes involves certain risks, including the
          risk of loss of a substantial part of its investment under certain
          circumstances. The transferee has had access to such financial and
          other information concerning the Issuer and the Notes as it deemed
          necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment
          decision with respect to its purchase of the Notes, including an
          opportunity to ask questions of and request information from the
          Agents, the Issuer and the Seller.

                  (4) In connection with the transfer of the Notes: (i) none of
          the Issuer, the Seller or the Agents is acting as a fiduciary or
          financial or investment adviser for the transferee; (ii) the
          transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment
          decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations
          (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, Seller or the Agents other
          than any in a current private placement memorandum for such Notes and
          any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with
          such party; (iii) none of the Issuer, Seller or the Agents has given
          to the transferee (directly or indirectly through any other person)
          any assurance, guarantee, or representation whatsoever as to the
          expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance,
          result, effect, consequence, or benefit (including legal, regulatory,
          tax, financial, accounting, or otherwise) of the Indenture or
          documentation for the Notes; (iv) the transferee has consulted with
          its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and
          accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has
          made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the
          suitability of any transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon
          its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has
          deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer; (v)
          the transferee has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and
          other terms of the purchase and sale of the Notes reflect those in the
          relevant market for similar transactions; (vi) the transferee is
          acquiring the Notes with a full understanding of all of the terms,
          conditions and risks thereof (economic and

                                       14

<PAGE>

          otherwise), and it is capable of assuming and willing to assume
          (financially and otherwise) those risks; and (vii) the transferee is a
          sophisticated investor.

                  (5) The transferee understands that the Notes will be
          represented by the Rule 144A Global Note and will bear the legend set
          forth above. The Notes may not at any time be held by or on behalf of
          U.S. persons that are not qualified institutional buyers.

                  (6) The transferee will not, at any time, offer to buy or
          offer to sell the Notes by any form of general solicitation or
          advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement,
          article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper,
          magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or
          seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general
          solicitations or advertisings.

                  (7) The transferee represents that either (A) it is not a
          Benefit Plan and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of
          a Benefit Plan or (B) the transferee's purchase and holding of such
          Notes will not be, or result in, a prohibited transaction which is not
          exempted by application of a statute, regulation, or an administrative
          exemption, such as a U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction
          Class Exemption.

                  (8) The transferee acknowledges that the Issuer, the Seller,
          the Agents and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the
          foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees
          that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations or warranties
          deemed to have been made by it by or in connection with its purchase
          of Notes is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer,
          the Seller and the Agents. If the transferee is acquiring any Notes as
          a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it shall be
          deemed to have represented that it has sole investment discretion with
          respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the
          foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of
          each such account.

                  (9) In connection with a transfer of the Notes, the Issuer
          shall furnish upon request of a Noteholder to such Noteholder and any
          prospective purchaser designated by such Noteholder the information
          required to be delivered under paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A of the
          Securities Act.

          (c) Any information the purchaser desires concerning the Issuer, the
Notes or any other matter relevant to its decision to purchase the notes is or
has been made available to it.

          (d) Either (i) no part of the assets used by it to acquire the Notes
constitutes assets of any Benefit Plan, or (ii) its purchase and holding of the
Notes will not, throughout the term of holding, constitute, or result in, a
non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code by reason of the application of one or more statutory, regulatory or
administrative exemptions from such prohibited transaction rules.

          Section 2.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
                       ------------------------------------------
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Trustee and the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to hold the Issuer, the Trustee and the Insurer harmless
(provided, however, that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an
Institutional Investor with a net worth of at least $50,000,000, such
Institutional Investor's own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to
be satisfactory) then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note
Registrar, the Insurer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC
are met, the Issuer, upon the request of the Trustee shall execute and, upon its
request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note;
provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a
--------  -------
mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable,
or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note,
the Issuer may direct the Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or
stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender
thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such
replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Insurer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note
(or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any assignee of
such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

          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 2.7. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
                       --------------------
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name any
Note is registered (as of the Record Date) as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any on such Note
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and
none of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                       -----------------------------------------------------

          (a) The Notes shall bear interest as provided in the forms of the Note
set forth in Exhibit A, and such interest shall be due and payable on each
Payment Date as specified therein. Any installment of interest or principal, if
any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the
Issuer on the Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
is registered on the Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to such Person's account as it appears on the Note Register on such Record
Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section
2.13, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.),
payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of
principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final
Scheduled Payment Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called
for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) which shall be payable as provided
below.

          (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on
each Payment Date as provided in the forms of the Note set forth in Exhibit A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the direction of the
Controlling Party pursuant to Section 5.2. Upon written notice from the Issuer,
the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the
Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such
Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior
to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the
place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such
installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to
Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

          (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, and
such default is not waived by the Controlling Party, the Issuer shall pay
defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent
lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate to the extent lawful. The Issuer may pay
such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent
special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to
the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special
record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special
record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice
that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
defaulted interest to be paid.

          (d) Promptly following the date on which all principal of and interest
on the Notes has been paid in full and the Notes have been surrendered to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall, upon written notice from the Servicer of the
amounts, if any, that the Insurer has paid in respect of the Notes under the
Note Policy or otherwise which has not been reimbursed to it, deliver such
surrendered Notes to the Insurer to the extent not previously cancelled or
destroyed.

the Notes.

          Section 2.12. Book-Entry Notes. The Notes will be represented by a
                        ----------------
permanent global note in fully registered form without coupons (the "Rule 144A
Global Note") deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a
nominee of, DTC. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note will be shown
on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by
DTC and its direct and indirect participants. It is expected that the delivery

     the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of
     principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency
     Participants;

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

          (vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders
     pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a
     certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and
     postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the
     Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

          Section 2.13. Definitive Notes. (a) If (i) the Issuer notifies the
                        ----------------
Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes or ceases to
be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act, and the Issuer is
unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days or (ii) the Controlling
Party, at its sole option, advises the Trustee through the Clearing Agency in
writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency
is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency
shall notify all Note Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Rule 144A Global Note by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Notes in accordance
with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note
Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

          (b) In the case of Definitive Notes issued in exchange for the Rule
144A Global Note, such Definitive Notes will bear, and be subject to, the legend
referred to under Section 2.5. The holder of a Definitive Note may transfer such
Definitive Notes by surrendering it at the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or
Minneapolis, Minnesota, which initially will be the Minneapolis office of the
Trustee. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Definitive Notes bearing
such legend, or upon specific written request for removal of the legend on a
Definitive Note, the Trustee will deliver only Definitive Notes that bear such
legend, or will refuse to remove such legend, as the case may be, unless there
is delivered to the Trustee such satisfactory evidence, which may include an
opinion of counsel, as may reasonably be required by the Trustee that neither
such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to

Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Payment

hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices
and demands.

action or failure so to act.

          The Issuer will cause the Note Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Insurer an instrument in which the
Note Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Note
Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section,
that the Note Paying Agent will:

          (i)   hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
     respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
     thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
     of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

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

          (iv) immediately resign as the Note Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
     the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any
     time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Note Paying
     Agent at the time of its appointment; and

          (v)  subject to the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
     comply with all requirements of the 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 or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct the Note Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust
by the Note Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same
trusts as those upon which the sums were held by the Note Paying Agent; and upon
such a payment by the Note Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Note Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

          Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any
money held by the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust
and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, with the prior written consent of
the Controlling Party, and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but
only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of
the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that if such money or any portion thereof
had been previously deposited by the Insurer or the Trust Collateral Agent with
the Trustee for the payment of principal or interest on the Notes, to the extent
any amounts are owing to the Insurer, such amounts shall be paid promptly to the
Insurer upon receipt of a written request from the Insurer to such effect; and
provided, further, that the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New
York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
The Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other
reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited
to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but
have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies
due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Trustee
or of the Note Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).

          Section 3.4. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by the
                       ---------
provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its

financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument prepared by the
Issuer.

          SECTION 3.18. Restricted Payments. The Issuer shall not, directly or
                        -------------------
indirectly, (i) pay any dividend or make any distribution (by reduction of
capital or otherwise), whether in cash, property, securities or a combination
thereof, to the Owner Trustee or any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer or otherwise with respect to any ownership or equity interest or security
in or of the Issuer or to the Servicer, (ii) redeem, purchase, retire or
otherwise acquire for value any such ownership or equity interest or security or
(iii) set aside or otherwise segregate any amounts for any such purpose;
provided, however, that the Issuer may make, or cause to be made, distributions
to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent and the Certificateholders as permitted by, and to the extent
funds are available for such purpose under, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
Trust Agreement. The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, make payments to
or distributions from the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account or the
Spread Account except in accordance with this Indenture and the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 3.19. Notice of Events of Default. Upon a Responsible Officer
                        ---------------------------
of the Owner Trustee having actual knowledge thereof, the Owner Trustee agrees
to give the Trustee, the Noteholders, the Insurer and the Rating Agency prompt
written notice of each Default or Event of Default hereunder and each default on
the part of the Servicer or the Seller of its obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 3.20. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the
                        ----------------------------
Trustee or the Insurer, the Issuer will 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 3.21. Amendments of Sale and Servicing Agreement and Trust
                        ----------------------------------------------------
Agreement. The Issuer shall not agree to any amendment to Section 13.1 of the
---------
Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 11.1 of the Trust Agreement to eliminate
the requirements thereunder that the Insurer, the Trustee or the Holders of the
Notes consent to amendments thereto as provided therein.

          SECTION 3.22. Income Tax Characterization. For purposes of federal
                        ---------------------------
income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, the
Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer and hereby instructs
the Servicer to treat the Notes as

                                       28

<PAGE>

indebtedness of the Issuer for all such tax reporting purposes. Each Noteholder
and each Note Owner, by virtue of its possession of a Note or an interest
therein, agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness for federal income, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes. In the event that the Internal Revenue
Service determines (as evidenced by an opinion of counsel is reasonably likely
to determine) that the Notes are equity interests in a partnership for federal
income tax purposes the Issuer will allocate such amounts of income, loss, etc.
so as to replicate as closely as possible the economic arrangements created
hereunder and under the Trust Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Trustee under Section 6.7
and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2) and (vi) the rights of
Noteholders, the Insurer and the Trustee as beneficiaries hereof with respect to
the property so deposited with the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent and
payable to all or any of them, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of

      each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to

      and if required by the Controlling Party, an Independent Certificate from
      a firm of certified public accountants, each meeting the applicable
      requirements of Section 11.1(a) and each stating that all conditions
      precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge
      of this Indenture have been complied with. Upon such satisfaction and

               SECTION 5.1. Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used
                            -----------------
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected

      installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and
      payable; or

               (iii)  an Insurance Agreement Indenture Cross Default shall have
      occurred; provided, however, that the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement
      Indenture Cross Default may not form the basis of an Event of Default
      unless the Controlling Party shall, upon prior written notice to the
      Rating Agency, have delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee, and not
      rescinded, a written notice specifying that such Insurance Agreement
      Indenture Cross Default constitutes an Event of Default under the
      Indenture; or

               (iv)   so long as an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing, default in the observance or performance of any covenant or
      agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
      agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is
      elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), or any representation
      or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate in
      connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material respect
      as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such default shall
      continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of
      which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been
      eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days (or for such longer
      period, not in excess of 90 days, as may be reasonably necessary to remedy
      such default; provided that such default is capable of remedy within 90
      days or less and the Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee, delivers an
      Officer's Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has
      commenced, or will promptly commence and diligently pursue, all reasonable
      efforts to remedy such default) after there shall have been given, by
      registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the
      Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding
      Amount of the Notes, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect
      representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating
      that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

               (v)    so long as an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing, the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having
      jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any substantial
      part of the Trust Property in an involuntary case under any applicable
      Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
      hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
      custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for

      liquidation of the Issuer's affairs, and such decree or order shall remain
      unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

               (vi)   so long as an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing, the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any
      applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
      now or hereafter in effect, or the

<PAGE>

      consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an
      involuntary case under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the
      appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
      custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for
      any substantial part of the Trust Property, or the making by the Issuer of
      any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the
      Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking
      of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

               The Issuer shall as soon as possible deliver to the Trustee, the
Owner Trustee and the Insurer, and in all events within two Business Days after
the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate
of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become
an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes
to take with respect thereto.

               SECTION 5.2. Rights Upon Event of Default.
                            ----------------------------

               (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in
every such case, the Controlling Party may declare the unpaid principal amount
of all the Notes to be immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued
interest thereon, and upon such declaration such principal amount shall become
immediately due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or other nature of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by the Issuer. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Controlling Party may exercise any of the
remedies specified in Section 5.4(a). In the event of any acceleration of any
Notes by operation of this Section 5.2, the Trustee shall continue to be
entitled to make claims under the Note Policy pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement for Scheduled Payments on the Notes. Payments under the Note Policy
following acceleration of any Notes shall be applied by the Trustee:

               FIRST: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
      interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according
      to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest; and

               SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
      for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
      according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal.

               (b) In the event any Notes are accelerated due to an Event of
Default, the Insurer shall have the right (in addition to its obligation to pay
Scheduled Payments on the Notes in accordance with the Note Policy), but not the
obligation, to make payments under the Note Policy or otherwise of interest and
principal due on such Notes, in whole or in part, on any date or dates following
such acceleration as the Insurer, in its sole discretion, shall elect.

               (c) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of
maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided
for, the Controlling Party may by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee,
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

                                       32

<PAGE>

          (i)    the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay

          (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all

     other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the
     Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

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

          (ii)   all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
     principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
     have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

          SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                       -------------------------------------------------------
Trustee.
-------

          (a)  The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at
the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and
its agents and counsel.

          (b)  Each Issuer Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
appoints the Controlling Party as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such
Issuer Secured Party for so long as such Issuer Secured Party is not the
Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to
do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead
of such Issuer Secured Party such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and
in the name of such Issuer Secured Party under this Indenture (including
specifically under Section 5.4) and under the Basic Documents which such Issuer
Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, desirable or
convenient in such Controlling Party's sole discretion to effect the purposes
contemplated hereunder and under the Basic Documents and, without limitation,
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, exercise full right, power and
authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with respect to the
administration, maintenance or disposition of the Trust Property.

          (c)  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
in its discretion but with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party
and shall, at the direction of the Controlling Party, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate
Proceedings as the Trustee or the Controlling Party shall

                                       33

<PAGE>

deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy
or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

          (d)  [Reserved].

          (e)  In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership
interest in the Trust Property, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings
relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of
whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

          (i)    to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of

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

          (ii)   unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on

     behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby
     trustee or person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

          (iii)  to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or

     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with
     respect to the claims of the Noteholders, the Insurer and of the Trustee on
     their behalf; and

          (iv)   to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
     may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee,
     the Insurer or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings
     relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

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

                                       34

<PAGE>

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

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

          (g)  All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture
or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings
relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and
compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Notes and the Insurer.

          (h)  In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any
proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture),
the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it
shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

          SECTION 5.4. Remedies.
                       --------

          (a)  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Controlling Party may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

          (i)    institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
     express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes
     or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
     otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and
     any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

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

          (iii)  exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take

     any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies
     of the Issuer Secured Parties; and

          (iv)   direct the Trust Collateral Agent in writing to sell the Trust
     Property or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
     more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted
     by law; provided, however, that

          (A) if the Insurer is the Controlling Party, the Insurer may not sell
or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property following an Insurance Agreement
Indenture Cross Default unless the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the

                                       35

<PAGE>

     Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and
     unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest;

          (B) if the Insurer is the Controlling Party, the Insurer must use due
     care to distribute proceeds in accordance with the requirements and
     priorities of Sections 2.8 and 5.6 of this Indenture, but only to the
     extent such proceeds are in fact received by the Controlling Party; and

          (C) if the Security Majority is the Controlling Party, the Trustee, if
     so directed by the Security Majority, may not sell or otherwise liquidate
     the Trust Property following an Event of Default unless

               (1)  such Event of Default is of the type described in Section
          5.1(i) or (ii), or

               (2)  either

                                (x)   the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding
                           Amount of the  Notes consent thereto,

                                (y)   the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
                           distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to
                           discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
                           upon such Notes for principal and interest, or

                                (z)   the Trustee determines that the Trust
                           Property will not continue to provide sufficient
                           funds for the payment of principal of and interest on
                           the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes
                           had not been declared due and payable, and the
                           Trustee provides prior written notice to the Rating
                           Agency and obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3%
                           of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

          In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to
clause (y) and (z), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an
opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the Trust Property for such purpose.

          SECTION 5.5. Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Security
                       ----------------------------------------
Majority is the Controlling Party and if the Notes have been declared to be due
and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee, if so
directed by the Security Majority, may direct the Trust Collateral Agent to
maintain possession of the Trust Property.

          SECTION 5.6. Priorities.
                       ----------

          (a)  Following (1) the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section
5.2 or (2) the receipt of Insolvency Proceeds pursuant to Section 11.1(b) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Amount Available, including any money or
property collected pursuant to Section 5.4 of this Indenture and any such
Insolvency Proceeds, shall be applied by the Trust Collateral Agent on the
related Payment Date in the following order of priority:

          FIRST: amounts due and owing and required to be distributed to the
     Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Successor Servicer, the P.O. Box Owner,
     the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent,
     respectively, pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) of Section 5.7(a) of the
     Sale and Servicing Agreement and not previously distributed, in the order
     of such priorities and without preference or priority of any kind within
     such priorities;

          SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
     interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
     the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest;

          THIRD: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
     principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according
     to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal;

          FOURTH: to the Insurer, to the extent of any amounts owing to the

     Insurer under the Insurance Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents
     and not paid; and

          FIFTH: to the Certificateholders in accordance with the Trust
     Agreement.

          (b)  The Trustee may fix a Record Date and Payment Date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such
Record Date the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice
that states the Record Date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

          SECTION 5.7. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
                       -------------------
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

          (i)    such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee
     of a continuing Event of Default;

          (ii)   the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of
     the Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute such
     proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
     hereunder;

                                       37

<PAGE>

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

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

          (v)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
     given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
     of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and

          (vi)   an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

it being understood and intended that no Holders of Notes shall have any right
in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of
Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided.

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

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture
but subject to the rights of the Controlling Party hereunder, provided the
Trustee has sent out notices to Noteholders in accordance with this Indenture,
the Trustee may act as directed by a majority of the outstanding Noteholders
responding in writing to such request contained in such notice; provided,
                                                                --------
however, that Noteholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding
-------
principal balance of the Notes as of the time such notice is sent to Noteholders
must have responded in writing to such notice from the Trustee. In addition, the
Trustee shall not have any liability to any Noteholder or Note Owner with
respect to any action taken pursuant to such notice if the Noteholder or Note
Owner does not respond to such notice within the time period set forth in such
notice.

          SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
                       --------------------------------------------------------
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
------------
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Controlling
                       ----------------------------------
Party or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee,
the Insurer and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such
Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former

                                       38

<PAGE>

positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the
Insurer and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

          SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
                        ------------------------------
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
                        ------------------------------
the Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Trustee, the Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Insurer or by
the Noteholders, as the case may be.

          SECTION 5.12. Control by Noteholders. If the Security Majority is the
                        ----------------------
Controlling Party, the Security Majority shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee; provided that

          (i)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or

     with this Indenture;

          (ii)   subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to
     the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Property shall be by the Holders
     of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the
     Notes;

          (iii)  if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied
     and the Trustee elects to retain the Trust Property pursuant to such
     Section, then any direction to the Trustee by Holders of Notes representing
     less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate
     the Trust Property shall be of no force and effect; and

          (iv)   the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
     Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however,
     that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it
     determines might involve it in liability for which it has not received
     adequate indemnity or might materially adversely affect the rights of any
     Noteholders not consenting to such action.

          SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
                        -----------------------
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.4, if the
Security Majority is the Controlling Party, the Security Majority may waive any
past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in
payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver,

                                       39

<PAGE>

the Issuer, the Trustee, the Insurer and the Holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

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

          SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
                        ---------------------
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's 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 Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee,
the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a)
any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder,
or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

          SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
                        --------------------------------
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

          SECTION 5.16. Action on Notes. The Trustee's right to seek and recover
                        ---------------
judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the
seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to
this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of
the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment
by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Trust Property or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer.

          SECTION 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
                        --------------------------------------------------

          (a)  Promptly following a request from the Trust Collateral Agent to
do so and at the Servicer's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful
action as the Trust Collateral Agent may request to compel or secure the
performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of
each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and
Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and

                                       40

<PAGE>

to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully
available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trust Collateral
Agent, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the
Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the
Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (b)  If the Security Majority is the Controlling Party and if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, at the written
direction of the Security Majority, exercise all rights, remedies, powers,
privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or
in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or
power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the
Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and
to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended.

          (c)  The Trustee acknowledges and agrees to the actions to be taken by
the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 5.18. Subrogation. Any and all Note Policy Claim Amounts
                        -----------
disbursed by the Trustee from claims made under the Note Policy shall not be
considered payment by the Trust with respect to such Notes, and shall not
discharge the obligations of the Trust with respect thereto. The Insurer shall,
to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Notes, become subrogated
to the rights of the recipients of such payments to the extent of such payments.
Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Notes by or on
behalf of the Insurer, each Noteholder shall be deemed, without further action,
to have directed the Trustee to assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment
of interest or principal with respect to the Notes which are then due for
payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer and the Insurer may
exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to the Notes to
the extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Note Policy. To evidence
such subrogation, the Note Registrar shall note the Insurer's rights as subrogee
upon the Note Register upon receipt from the Insurer of proof of payment by the
Insurer of any Noteholders' Interest Payment Amount or Noteholders' Principal
Payment Amount.

          SECTION 5.19. Preference Claims.
                        -----------------

          (a)  In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of a
final, non-appealable order of the appropriate court that any Scheduled Payment
paid on a Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment
under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall so notify the Insurer, shall
comply with the provisions of the Note Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer
of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the
Insurer, comply with the provisions of the Note Policy to obtain payment by the
Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in the event that any
Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will be entitled to
payment pursuant to the terms of the Note Policy. The Trustee shall furnish to
the Insurer at its written request, the requested records it holds in its
possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on

                                       41

<PAGE>

Notes, if any, which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered
from Noteholders, and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to
the terms of the Note Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of
the Noteholder to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in
bankruptcy named in the Order (as defined in the Note Policy) and not to the
Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has previously paid such
payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in
bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer will make such payment to the Trustee for
payment, in accordance with the instructions to be provided by the Insurer, to
such Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Insurer).

          (b)  Each Notice of Claim shall provide that the Trustee, on its
behalf and on behalf of the Noteholders, thereby appoints the Insurer as agent
and attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and each Noteholder in any legal proceeding
with respect to the Notes. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any
Proceeding or the institution of any action (of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential
transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation
or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any payment made with respect to the
Notes. Each Noteholder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Trustee hereby agree
that so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing,
the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any Proceeding relating
to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim
including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order
relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas
or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but
subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition,
and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.18, the
Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Trustee hereby
delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the
Trustee and each Noteholder in the conduct of any Proceeding with respect to a
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an
adversary Proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection
with any such Preference Claim.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                   The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent
                   ------------------------------------------

          SECTION 6.1. Duties of Trustee.
                       ------------------


          (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and the Basic Documents and use the same degree
of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

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

          (i)    each of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent undertakes
     to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth
     in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
     into this Indenture against the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent,
     respectively; and

                                       42

<PAGE>

          (ii)   in the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, each of
     the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the
     truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
     therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the
     Trust Collateral Agent, as the case may be and conforming to the
     requirements of this Indenture; however, the Trustee and the Trust
     Collateral Agent shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
     whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this
     Indenture.

          (c)  Each of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent may not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

          (i)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
     this Section;

          (ii)   each of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be
     liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
     Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent
     was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

          (iii)  each of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be
     liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
     in accordance with a direction by the Controlling Party or received by it
     pursuant to Section 5.12.

          (d)  The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable
for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in
writing with the Issuer.

          (e)  Money held in trust by the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or
the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (f)  No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the
Trust Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
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 to
believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

          (g)  Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

          (h)  The Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall, upon reasonable
prior written notice to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, permit any representative of the Insurer, and, if different, the
Controlling Party, during the Trustee's or the Trust Collateral Agent's, as the
case may be, normal business hours, at the expense of the Trust, to examine all
books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, required to be maintained pursuant to this
Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, relating to the Notes or the
Collateral, to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss the Trustee's
or the Trust Collateral

                                       43

<PAGE>

Agent's affairs and actions, as such affairs and actions relate to the Trustee's
or the Trust Collateral Agent's duties with respect to the Notes or the
Collateral, with the Trustee's or the Trust Collateral Agent's officers and
employees responsible for carrying out the Trustee's or the Trust Collateral
Agent's duties with respect to the Notes.

          (i)  The Trust Collateral Agent shall, and hereby agrees that it will,
hold the Note Policy in trust, and will hold any proceeds of any claim on the
Note Policy in trust solely for the use and benefit of the Noteholders.

          (j)  The Trust Collateral Agent is hereby appointed Note Paying Agent
pursuant to and in accordance with this Indenture, whereby the Trust Collateral
Agent, as Note Paying Agent shall hold the Trust Property in trust for the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer.

          (k)  Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Trustee,
solely in its role as Trustee, shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording,
filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement evidencing a security interest in the Receivables or the
Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing
or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof,
(ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect
or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any

or ascertain or inquire as to the performance of observance of any of the
Issuer's, the Seller's or the Servicer's representations, warranties or

          (l)  In no event shall Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National

law, or the Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 6.2. Rights of Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent.
                       ------------------------------------------------

          (a)  The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent may rely on any
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

          (b)  Before the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent acts or refrains
from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on any such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c)  The Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
or through agents or

                                       44

<PAGE>

attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Trustee or the Trust Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of,
or for the supervision of, TFC, or any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee
appointed with due care by it hereunder.

          (d)  The Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee's
or the Trust Collateral Agent's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.

          (e)  The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent may consult with
counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture, the Basic Documents and the Notes shall be full and
complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action
reasonably taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

          (f)  The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall be under no
obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture
or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of
the Holders of Notes or the Controlling Party, pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture, unless such Holders of Notes or the Controlling Party shall have
offered to the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Trust Collateral
Agent shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been
cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with
reasonable care and skill customary for the care and skill exercised by trustees
under similar circumstances.

          (g)  The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to
do so by the Controlling Party; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent,
not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent may require indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination
shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee or
the Trust Collateral Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such
request upon demand.

          SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
                       ----------------------------
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. The Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

          SECTION 6.4. Trustee's Disclaimer. Each of the Trustee and the Trust
                       --------------------
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to
the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Property or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for the

                                       45

<PAGE>

Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for
any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee's
certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs and is
                       ------------------
continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence
thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 5 days after such
knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the
mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

          SECTION 6.6. Reports by Note Paying Agent to Holders. The Note Paying
                       ---------------------------------------
Agent shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such information
as is required under the Code (and shall comply with all information reporting
requirements of the Code, e.g. Form 1099) or which may be reasonably requested
to enable each Holder to prepare its income tax returns required by law.

          SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.
                       --------------------------

          (a) Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
subject to Section 6.18 herein, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and the
Trust Collateral Agent from time to time the Trustee Fee as compensation for its
services. The Trustee's and the Trust Collateral Agent's compensation shall not
be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee's and the Trust Collateral Agent's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to
indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by each of them in connection with the
acceptance or the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder, except that neither the Issuer nor the Servicer shall be liable for
or required to indemnify the Trustee from and against loss, liability or expense
arising or resulting from negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the
part of the Trustee; provided, however, any obligation of the Issuer under this
Section 6.7 shall not be payable from the Collateral or Trust Property. The
Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer
promptly in writing of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer
shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its
obligations under Article XII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except as
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph. The Issuer shall defend or
shall cause the Servicer to defend any claim indemnifiable under this Section
that may arise against the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee
or the Trust Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall or
shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither
the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss, liability or expense incurred by the

                                       46

<PAGE>

Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent through the Trustee's or the Trust
Collateral Agent's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          (b)  The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(v) or (vi)
with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything
else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Trustee agrees that
the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Trustee hereunder
and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Property only and
specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of the Issuer or any
Securityholder. In addition, the Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer,
the Trust Property and the Seller shall be limited to the right to receive the
distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any
                       ----------------------
time upon 30 days prior written notice by so notifying the Issuer, the Insurer
and the Controlling Party. The Issuer may and, at the request of the Controlling
Party shall, remove the Trustee, if:

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

          (ii)   a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the
     Trustee in an involuntary case or Proceeding under federal or state banking
     or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
     applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
     shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator,
     sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial
     part of the Trustee's property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation
     of the Trustee's affairs, and such case is not dismissed within 30 days;

          (iii)  the Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or
     state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
     other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
     law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
     liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or
     other similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the
     Trustee's property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or
     fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any
     corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

          (iv)   the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting;

          (v)    the Trustee breaches any representation, warranty or covenant
     made by it under any Basic Document; or

          (vi)   the rating assigned to the long-term unsecured debt obligations
     of the Trustee by the Rating Agency shall be lowered below the rating of
     "BBB" or equivalent rating or be withdrawn by the Rating Agency.

                                       47

<PAGE>

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to
herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly deliver a notice of
such removal, resignation or vacancy to the Noteholders and the Insurer and
appoint a successor Trustee acceptable to the Controlling Party. If the Issuer
fails to appoint such a successor Trustee, the Controlling Party may appoint a
successor Trustee.

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

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Controlling Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

          Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the
outgoing Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's obligations under Section 6.7
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 6.9. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
                       ---------------------------
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee and shall at all times be required to
meet the terms of eligibility under Section 6.11. The Trustee shall provide the
Rating Agency and the Insurer with written notice of any such transaction as
soon as practical thereafter.

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any
such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to
the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases
such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

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

          (a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee with the
prior written consent of the Controlling Party shall have the power and may
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a
co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice
to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required under Section 6.8 hereof.

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

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

          (ii)   no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
     any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or
     omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

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

          (c)  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

          (d)  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law,

                                       49

<PAGE>

to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in
its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become
insolvent, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture,
the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

          SECTION 6.11.  Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all
                         -----------------------------
times (i) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, (ii) have (or
have a parent which has) a long term debt rating of A or better by the Rating
Agency; and (iii) be acceptable to the Controlling Party. The Trustee shall
provide copies of such reports to the Insurer.

                          --------

          SECTION 6.13.  Appointment and Powers.
                         ----------------------

Trust Collateral Agent has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such
instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral
Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that
the Trust Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance
with such instructions.

          (b)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Issuer

Property in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer (except as
otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Note Paying
Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the other Basic
Documents. Each Issuer Secured Party hereby authorizes the Note Paying Agent to

promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that the Note
Paying Agent shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i) which are not
authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this Indenture or (ii) for
which the Note Paying Agent has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of
such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Note Paying
Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that
the Note Paying Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with
such instructions.

          SECTION 6.14. Performance of Duties. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
                        ---------------------
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a
party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this Indenture.
The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary

of the Controlling Party. The Trust Collateral Agent shall, and hereby agrees
that it will, perform all of the duties and obligations required of it under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 6.15. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Trust Collateral
                        -----------------------
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be liable
for any action reasonably taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder,
or in connection herewith, except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be
liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust
Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value,
sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Indenture or any of the
Collateral (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this
Indenture, the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer or
the Issuer Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Trust
Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral, except for the negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trust Collateral Agent, and,
further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer Secured Parties except for
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the
Issuer Secured Parties. Subject to Section 6.16, the Trust Collateral Agent
shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in
conclusively relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents,
and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature,
instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Trust Collateral Agent
to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and
(absent actual knowledge to the contrary) the Trust Collateral Agent shall not
be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto. The
Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to
its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the
existence or nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or
enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Basic
Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be
liable for any action reasonably taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Trust
Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the
remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to follow any
direction from the Controlling Party unless it shall have received security or

                                       51

<PAGE>

indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it.

          SECTION 6.16. Reliance Upon Documents. In the absence of negligence,
                        -----------------------
bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or
omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance
upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document or instrument.

          SECTION 6.17. Successor Trust Collateral Agent.

it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be
and become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all
of the title to and interest in the Collateral and all of the trusts, powers,
discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor
without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or
conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is
necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interest of
the Issuer Secured Parties in the Collateral; provided that any such successor
shall also be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9.

          (b)  Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor Trust
               -----------
Collateral Agent may resign under this Indenture at any time upon 30 days prior
written notice by so notifying the Issuer and the Insurer; provided that the
Trust Collateral Agent shall not so resign unless it shall also resign as
Trustee hereunder; provided, however that such resignation shall not be
                   --------  -------
effective until a successor Trust Collateral Agent shall have accepted
appointment as successor Trust Collateral Agent and a successor Trustee shall

          (c)  Removal. The Trust Collateral Agent may be removed by the
               -------
Controlling Party at any time (and should be removed at any time that the
Trustee has been removed), with or without cause, by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Issuer
Secured Parties and the Issuer. A temporary successor may be removed at any time
to allow a successor Trust Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to
subsection (d) below. Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this subsection
(c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the
effective date of the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent and the
acceptance in writing by such successor Trust Collateral Agent of such
appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance
with the provisions hereof, and (ii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 3.6.

          (d)  Acceptance by Successor.  The Controlling Party shall have the

sole right to appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent. Every temporary or
permanent successor

                                       52

<PAGE>

Trust Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to its predecessor and to each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an
instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant
predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and
instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor
Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties,
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor
shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or
the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all
the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the
event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer or an Issuer Secured Party
is reasonably required by a successor Trust Collateral Agent to more fully and
certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties
and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust
Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of
the temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Trustee or the Issuer, as the case
may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the
instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a
successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein,
shall be maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the
extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trust
Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to
effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or
to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted
hereunder.

               (e) Notice to the Rating Agency. The Controlling Party shall give
                   ---------------------------

other than its portion of the Trustee Fee.

performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a
Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed
thereafter as provided in Article V.

               SECTION 8.2. Release of Trust Property.
                            -------------------------

from the lien of this Indenture, in a manner and under circumstances that are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Trust Collateral Agent as provided in this Article

into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of
any monies.

               (b) The Trust Collateral Agent shall, at such time as: (i) there

deposit in the Trust Accounts and the Spread Account. The Trustee shall release
property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) only
upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel.

               SECTION 8.3 Opinion of Counsel. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
                           ------------------

involved, and the Trustee shall also 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 and such action

                                       56

will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture;
provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express
an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Property. Counsel rendering any
such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and
validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Trustee in
connection with any such action.

prior notice to the Rating Agency, with the prior written consent of the Insurer
(unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee, enter
into a written indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that, subject to
the express rights of the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby:

         (i)   change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or
               interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the

               (including the calculation of any of the individual components of
               such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes
               to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of
               the Notes contained herein; or

        (viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity

supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the
Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a
notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such supplemental indenture.

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a
notation as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the

               (a) The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in
part, at the direction of the Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the Seller or the Servicer,
acting on behalf of and at the direction of the Seller, exercises its option to
make all required payments on the Notes and retain the Trust Property. The
Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Insurer prior written notice of such
redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.1(a),
the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee
not later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit

to Section 9.1 of the Trust Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the Note
Payment Account shall be paid to the Noteholders up to the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If amounts are to be paid
to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the Issuer
shall furnish written notice of such event to the Trustee not later than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the

               SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice.
                             -------------------------

               (a) Notice of redemption supplied to the Trustee by the Servicer
under Section 10.1(a) shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes of record, as of the close of business
on the date which is four Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date,
at such Holder's address appearing in the Note Register.

               All notices of redemption shall state:

               (i)   the Redemption Date;

               (ii)  the Redemption Price;

               (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
          Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only
          upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such
          Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which
          shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as
          provided in Section 3.2); and

               (iv)  that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the
          Redemption Date.

               Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of
redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or
affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

               (b) Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.1(b) is not
required to be given to Noteholders.

               SECTION 10.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be

redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2 (in
the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or (b)), on the Redemption
Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the
Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is
calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

                             -----------------------------------------

               (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee
or the Trust Collateral Agent to take any action under any provision of this
Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, and to the Insurer if the application or request is
made to the Trust Collateral Agent (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the

                                       61

<PAGE>

proposed action have been complied with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating
that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have
been complied with.

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

                     (1) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or
               opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or
               condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

                     (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
               examination or investigation upon which the statements or
               opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

                     (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such
               signatory, such signatory has made such examination or
               investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to
               express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant
               or condition has been complied with; and

                     (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
               signatory such condition or covenant has been complied with.

               (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property
or securities with the Trust Collateral Agent that is to be made the basis for
the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent and the
Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each
person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such
deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be
so deposited.

               (ii)  Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trust
          Collateral Agent and the Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying
          or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters
          described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the
          Trust Collateral Agent and the Insurer an Independent Certificate as
          to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities
          to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of
          any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the
          then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the
          certificates delivered pursuant to clauses (i) above and this clause
          (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided,
          that such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any
          securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as
          set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or
          less than 1% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

               (iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased
          Receivables or Liquidated Receivables, whenever any property or
          securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the
          Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent and the
          Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
          each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90
          days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be
          released and stating that in the opinion of

                                       62

<PAGE>

     such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this
     Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

          (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee and the
     Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any
     signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the
     Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Insurer an
     Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the
     property or securities and of all other property other than Purchased
     Receivables and Liquidated Receivables, or securities released from the
     lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar
     year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and
     this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the
     Notes; provided, that such certificate need not be furnished in the case of
     any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set
     forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
     than 1% of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

          (v)  Notwithstanding Section 2.10 or any other provision of this
     Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose
     of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
     Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts and the
     Spread Account as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
     Documents.

          SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case
                        --------------------------------------
where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified
by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or
give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons
as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.

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

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

          Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall
deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as
evidence of the Issuer's compliance with

                                       63

<PAGE>

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

               SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders.
                             -------------------

               (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.

               (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee.

               (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

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

          be deemed to constitute consent or acceptance, then a copy of such
          notice or other communication should also be sent to the attention of
          General Counsel and the Head-Financial Guaranty Group, and shall be
          marked to indicate "URGENT MATERIAL ENCLOSED.

          SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
                        ------------------------------
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

          Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agency, failure
to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of
Default.

          SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding
                        ---------------------------------------
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that
is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments
or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the
Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause
payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be

payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,

liability on Wilmington Trust Company individually or personally, to perform any
covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if
any, being expressly waived by the parties to this Indenture and by any person
claiming by, through or under them and (d) under no circumstances shall
Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any
indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of

                                 REVERSE OF NOTE

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its 4.23% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Notes"), all
issued under an Indenture dated as of March 19, 2002 (such indenture, as
supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"), among the Insurer,
the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee and
trust collateral agent (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee
under the Indenture, and the "Trust Collateral Agent", which term includes any
successor Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Insurer, the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are
subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are
defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

          The Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

          Principal of the Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an
amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the 15th day of each
month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day, commencing [______], 2002.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and
the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be due and payable (i) on the date on which an Insurance
Agreement Indenture Cross Default shall have occurred and the Insurer shall have
delivered to the Trustee a written notice specifying that an Insurance Agreement
Indenture Cross Default constituting an Event of Default under the Indenture has
occurred or (ii) if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on
the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes representing a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due
and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All
principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders
entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note on
the Note Register as of the close of business on the related Record Date. Such
payments shall be wired to the Person entitled thereto to the account of such
Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date
without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any
reduction in the principal amount of this Note effected by any payments made on
any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of
any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof
or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be
available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the
Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by
notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee's
agent appointed for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; provided,
however, that such presentation and surrender shall be waived with respect to
any Noteholder upon satisfaction by the Noteholder of the indemnity requirements
set forth in the Indenture (and not rescinded).

          The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

          As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to
Section 10.1(a) of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of
the Seller on any Payment Date on or after the date on which the Pool Balance is
less than or equal to 15% of the Original Pool Balance.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution"
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include
membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program
("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by
the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp, all in
accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents
as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be
required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or
exchange. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees to
treat the Notes as indebtedness for federal, state and local income and
franchise tax purposes.

          Each Noteholder and each Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or an
interest therein, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer, of any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under
any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

          Each purchaser of this Note or an interest therein will be deemed to
have represented that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acting on
behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (b) the transferee's
purchase and holding of such interest will be, or result in, a prohibited
transaction which is not exempted by application of a statute,

                                      A-7

regulation, or an administrative exemption, such as a U.S. Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption.

                  Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Note, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Insurer and any agent of the Issuer,
the Trustee or the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of
the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the
Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Insurer and of the
Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes
at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the
Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under
the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder
of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

                  The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor
to the Issuer under the Indenture.

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

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

                  This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein
prescribed.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington
Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in
the Issuer, nor any of their respective beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees or successors or assigns shall

                                      A-8

be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the
payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to
perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this
Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants,
obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Issuer for the sole
purposes of binding the interests of the Issuer in the assets of the Issuer. The
Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of
Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
