                 ------------------------------------
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured

name of the Borrower, the Secured Parties or otherwise, but at the expense of
the Borrower, to the extent permitted by law to exercise in its sole and
absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time while any Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing, any or all of the rights and powers with
respect to all or any of the Collateral as are specified or referred to in
Article VI hereof.

     Section 5.2 Rights of Secured Parties. Each Secured Party that from time to
                 -------------------------
time is not a part of the Required Lending Groups expressly agrees that it shall
not assert any right that it may otherwise have, as a Secured Party with respect
to the Collateral, to direct the maintenance, sale or other disposition of the
Collateral or any portion thereof, notwithstanding the occurrence and
continuation of any Termination Event or any non-performance by the Borrower of
any obligation owed to such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Basic

Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lending Groups) shall be the
only Persons entitled to assert and exercise such rights.

     Section 5.3 Degree of Care. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this

Secured Party (including any Secured Party that is a member of the Required
Lending Groups) in connection with the Collateral and, further, shall incur no
liability to any other Secured Party (including any Secured Party that is part
of the Required Lending Groups); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
                                 -----------------
be deemed to relieve any Secured Party of liability for its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Secured Party (including any
Secured Party that is a member of the Required Lending Groups) shall be
protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the
accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents and assuming the genuineness of
any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document
believed by such Secured Party to be genuine and to have been duly executed by
the appropriate signatory, and (absent manifest error or actual knowledge to the
contrary), no such Secured Party shall be required to make

                                       18
<PAGE>

any independent investigation with respect thereto. Each Secured Party shall, at
all times, be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction the
existence or nonexistence, as the case may be, of any fact the existence or
nonexistence of which shall be a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Agreements.

Borrower accrued under and in connection with the Basic Agreements) to be due
and payable, and thereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower. In any of such events, the Administrative
Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lending Groups, take whatever
action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable in the judgment
of the Required Lending Groups to collect and satisfy all Secured Obligations
(including, but not limited to, foreclosure upon the Collateral and sale or
securitization of the Collateral and all other rights available to secured
parties under applicable law) or to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement or covenant under any of the Basic Agreements. In addition
to all other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties by this Agreement, the other Basic Agreements,
the UCC and other applicable law, rules, or regulations, the Administrative
Agent may with the consent of the Required Lending Groups, and shall upon the
request of the Required Lending Groups, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any such Termination Event, exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies: (i) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce the
security interests in any or all Collateral in any manner permitted by
applicable law, rules, or regulations or in this Agreement; (ii) notify any or
all Obligors to make payments with respect to Receivables directly to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; (iii) sell or
otherwise dispose of

                                       20
<PAGE>

any or all Collateral at one or more public or private sales, for cash or credit
or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as the Required Lending
Groups may determine; (iv) require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the
Administrative Agent; (v) enter onto any property where any Collateral is
located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process; and (vi)
enforce any rights of the Borrower under any Receivable or other agreement to
the extent the Required Lending Groups deems appropriate.

     In furtherance of the Administrative Agent's rights hereunder, the Borrower
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other
payment by the Administrative Agent) to use, license or sublicense any patent,
trademark, tradename, copyright or other intellectual property in which the
Borrower now or hereafter has any right, title or interest, together with the
right of access to all media in which any of the foregoing may be recorded or
stored. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be
entitled to take any action and the Required Lending Groups shall not be
entitled to give any direction with respect to the Collateral, except to the
extent provided herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the other
Basic Agreements.

     (b) In the event of any sale, collection, conversion or other disposition
into cash of the Collateral, or any part thereof, after deducting any actual
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such disposition, the
Administrative Agent shall deposit the proceeds thereof into the Collection
Account for distribution on the next succeeding Distribution Date in accordance
with the priorities set forth in Section 6.8 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that ten (10) days' notice of any intended
sale or disposition of any Collateral is reasonable.

     (c) The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be
entitled to obtain from the Borrower all records and documentation in the
possession of the Borrower pertaining to any Collateral. Upon consummation of
any sale pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Required Lending Groups, or the
Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and at the direction of the Required
Lending Groups, shall have the right to assign, transfer, indorse and deliver to
the purchaser or purchasers thereof, free and clear of any Lien, the Collateral,
or any portion thereof or any interest therein, so sold. Each purchaser at any
such sale shall hold the property purchased by it absolutely free and clear from
any claim or right on the part of the Secured Parties or the Borrower, and the
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all

                                       21
<PAGE>

rights of redemption, stay, marshalling of assets or appraisal that it now has
or may at any time in the future have under applicable law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted.

     (d) In addition to the remedies granted in this Agreement and the other
Basic Agreements, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lending Groups,
take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable in
the judgment of the Required Lending Groups to collect the amounts then due and
thereafter to become due under this Agreement and any of the other Basic
Agreements (including but not limited to, all rights available to secured
parties under applicable law) or to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement or covenant under any of the Basic Agreements, including
the exercise of the following powers with respect to the Collateral: (i) to
demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies
due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (ii) to settle, compromise,
compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,
(iii) to sell, securitize, transfer, assign or otherwise deal with the same or
the proceeds thereof as fully and effectively as if the Administrative Agent
were the absolute owner thereof, and (iv) to extend the time of payment of any
or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with respect
thereto. All proceeds of any portion of the Collateral liquidated pursuant to
this Section 6.1 shall be applied as set forth in subsection (b) above.

     (e) The Administrative Agent and the Required Lending Groups, as the case
may be, may exercise the powers and rights granted by this Section 6.1, without
notice or demand to the Borrower except as provided in (a) above.

     (f) In addition to other remedies granted in this Agreement and the other
Basic Agreements, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower, at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction
of the Required Lending Groups) or the Required Lending Groups, shall at its own
expense (or shall cause the Servicer at its own expense pursuant to section 5.5
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) promptly take all additional steps, if any,
as are necessary to create and maintain perfection of the security interest in
the Financed Vehicle related to each Receivable (and the proceeds of such
Financed Vehicle) on behalf of the Borrower and to create and maintain
perfection of the security interest in the Borrower's security interest in the
Financed Vehicle related to each Receivable (and the proceeds of such Financed
Vehicle) on behalf of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, including, if required by applicable law, having a


                                       22

notation of the Borrower's and/or the Administrative Agent's respective
security interests recorded on such Financed Vehicle's certificate of title.

     Section 6.2 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Administrative Agent
                 ----------------------------------
has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and
in every such case the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the
Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 6.3 No Remedy Exclusive. No right or remedy herein conferred upon
                 -------------------
or reserved to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lending Groups or any of
the Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right or 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, in equity or otherwise and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised by the Required Lending Groups, and the exercise of or the beginning
of the exercise of any right or power or remedy shall not be construed to be a
waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right,
power or remedy.

case of a Funding for the acquisition of Asset Backed Securities, after giving

of such Lending Group plus the Interest Component of all Commercial Paper issued

by the CP Lenders in such Lending Group to fund such Net Investment (it being
understood that, for purposes of determining whether the Interest Component of
Commercial Paper may be paid from the proceeds of Commercial Paper issued on the
maturity date of such Commercial Paper, the amount of such capitalized Interest
Component shall constitute a "Funding") would not exceed the related Facility
Limit and, in the case of a Funding for the acquisition of Asset Backed
Securities after giving effect to such Funding, the related Net Investment as it

(iv) the Borrower has provided a Funding Request to the Administrative Agent and
each Funding Agent, which Funding Request shall include the calculations
necessary to satisfy the requirement set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
above and shall also include a certification by an authorized officer of the
Trustee on behalf of the Borrower that, to the best of such officer's knowledge,
no event has occurred since the most recent Funding that would have a material
and adverse effect on the Receivables, AmeriCredit Corp., the Sellers, the
Servicer or the Borrower; (v) the Borrower shall have deposited in the

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no
APA Bank shall have any obligation to advance funds to the Borrower on any

Percentage") to determine the Advance Amount shall be 100% with respect to Asset
----------
Backed Securities, subject to the reserve requirement to be established at or
prior to the initial funding under the ABS Funding Sublimit, as acceptable to

Receivables, subject in the case of Receivables to downward adjustment on such
Funding Date as described below:

                   (1) if a "Trigger Event" (such term meaning, for purposes of
     this Section 7.1(c), (i) a "Trigger Event" as defined in any public asset-
     backed transaction, which transaction has been outstanding for twenty-four
     months or less from the date hereof or (ii) if applicable, any comparable
     "spread capture event" in any automobile receivables transaction conducted
     by any Securitization Trust, which transaction has been outstanding for
     twenty-four months or less from the date hereof, whether or not defined in
     such transaction as a "Trigger Event" and whether or not such transaction
     is a public transaction) occurs which continues unremedied for two (2)
     monthly reporting periods and is waived by the party or parties entitled to
     exercise such waiver under the related transaction documentation, then the
     Advance Percentage in effect at the opening of business on such Funding
     Date shall be reduced by 2%; provided that if the Trigger Event relates to
                                  --------
     a delinquency test failure and occurs after the Pool Factor (as defined in
     the related transaction documentation) is below 25%, the Advance Percentage
     shall not be so reduced; provided further that if the Advance Percentage
                              -------- -------
     has been reduced as a result of the application of this clause (1), the
     Advance Percentage shall remain at such reduced percentage until such time
     as the related Trigger Event has been cured for a period of three (3)
     consecutive months;

                                       28
<PAGE>

                   (2) if a Trigger Event occurs, and is not waived by the
     Person or Persons entitled to exercise such waiver under the related
     transaction documentation, within the twenty-four month period referred to
     in (1) above for any particular asset-backed transaction (whether or not
     such transaction is a public transaction) (and such Trigger Event shall be
     deemed unwaived if there is no Person or Persons entitled to so waive),
     then the Advance Percentage in effect at the opening of business on such
     Funding Date shall be reduced by 6% (without duplication of any reduction
     pursuant to clause (1) above); and

                   (3) if there is an Excess Spread Deficiency (calculated as of
     the close of business one (1) Business Day prior to such Funding Date),
     then the Advance Percentage shall be reduced by the product of (i) the
     amount of such Excess Spread Deficiency (stated as a percentage) multiplied
                                                                      ----------
     by (ii) 2.0; provided that if the Advance Percentage has been reduced as a
     --           --------
     result of the application of this clause (3), the Advance Percentage shall
     remain at such reduced percentage until such time as the Excess Spread
     Deficiency has been cured.

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

time) on the date on which a Funding is to be made, each Secured Party will make
available to the Borrower, in immediately available funds, the amount of the
Funding required to be made by it on such day by remitting the required amount
thereof to an account of the Borrower as designated in the related Funding
Request.

           (f) The VFN.
               -------

                   (i) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and

     supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the
     "VFN") which shall (1) be dated the date hereof; (2) be in the stated
      ---
     principal amount equal to the Maximum Facility Limit (as reflected from

     each Funding and the date and amount of the payment of principal thereon,
     and prior to any transfer of the VFN, the Administrative Agent, on behalf
     of the Secured Parties, shall indorse the outstanding principal amount of
     the VFN on the schedule attached thereto. The entries made by the
     Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be prima
                                                                      -----

     payment obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the VFN.

               (ii) The Borrower shall have the option to prepay all or a
     portion of the VFN Balance on any Business Day selected by the Borrower
     (each, an "Optional Prepayment"), subject to the following terms and

     Prepayment shall be reflected on the applicable Servicer's Determination
     Date Certificate), the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the
     Administrative Agent, the Backup


                                       30

     Servicer and the Rating Agencies a Servicer's VFN Prepayment Date
     Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 to the Sale and
     Servicing Agreement, together with evidence to the Administrative Agent,
     the Funding Agents, the Backup Servicer and the Rating Agencies (which
     evidence may consist solely of the Servicer's VFN Prepayment Date
     Certificate) that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the
     contemplated VFN Prepayment Date to effect the Optional Prepayment in
     accordance with this Agreement. Any such Servicer's VFN Prepayment Date
     Certificate and related evidence shall be delivered to the Administrative
     Agent no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time), in draft form at least two
     (2) Business Days prior to the contemplated VFN Prepayment Date and in
     final form at least one Business Day prior to the contemplated VFN
     Prepayment Date. In effecting an Optional Prepayment, the Borrower may (i)
     use the proceeds of sales of the Receivables and/or Asset Backed Securities
     (which sales must be made in arm's-length transactions to Persons other
     than AFS unless such sale is in connection with a public asset-backed
     transaction), and (ii) give effect to Collections on deposit in the
     Collection Account at such time to the extent consistent with the
     requirements of paragraph 4 below (as evidenced by the Servicer's VFN
     Prepayment Date Certificate).

          3. In connection with any such Optional Prepayment that does not
     constitute a prepayment in full of the outstanding VFN Balance, then,
     following receipt by each Funding Agent of the amounts referred to in
     paragraph 5 below (and confirmation by each such Funding Agent to the
     Administrative Agent), there shall be released from the Lien of this
     Agreement (subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 below): (i) a portion
     of the Receivables constituting a part of the Pool Balance selected by the
     Borrower in accordance with the eligibility criteria established for the
     related asset-backed transaction and additionally selected in accordance
     with the earliest origination date of all Receivables; provided, however,
     that the Borrower shall not have used any adverse selection procedures with
     respect to the Receivables; and (ii) such other Receivables or Asset Backed
     Securities not then constituting part of the Pool Balance, excluding,
     however, any Receivable or Asset Backed Securities subject to a Repurchase
     Obligation ("Other Designated Receivables" or "Other Designated Asset
                  ----------------------------      ----------------------
     Backed Securities," as applicable) as the Borrower intends to sell or
     -----------------
     distribute in accordance with the terms hereof and as are designated

                                       31

     by the Borrower and specified in the Servicer's VFN Prepayment Date
     Certificate (such Receivables and/or Asset Backed Securities and such Other
     Designated Receivables or Other Designated Asset Backed Securities,
     together, in each case, with the related Other Conveyed Property, being
     collectively referred to as the "Prepayment Related Collateral").
                                      -----------------------------

          4. After giving effect to the Optional Prepayment and the release of
     Prepayment Related Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement on any VFN
     Prepayment Date, (x) the remaining VFN Balance minus Adjusted Collections,
                                                    -----
     plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest or discount, as applicable,
     ----
     on all outstanding Fundings, together with all accrued and unpaid fees and
     other costs and expenses due and owing to the Lending Groups, shall be less
     than or equal to the amount resulting when the effective Advance Percentage
     is multiplied by the remaining Pool Balance, (y) none of the Pool
     Limitations shall be exceeded and (z) a Termination Event or Potential
     Termination Event shall not have resulted;

                 For purposes of the foregoing, Adjusted Collections means the
     product of (i) the effective Advance Percentage, and (ii) the amount of
     Collections on deposit in the Collection Account as of the close of
     business on the Business Day preceding the date of the Servicer's VFN
     Prepayment Date Certificate (which Collections shall be available for
     distribution in accordance with Article VI of the Sale and Servicing
     Agreement).

          5. On the related VFN Prepayment Date, the Administrative Agent shall
     have received, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in immediately
     available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the portion of the VFN
     Balance to be prepaid plus (ii) an amount equal to all unpaid Carrying
                           ----
     Costs (including Carrying Costs not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably
     determined by the Funding Agents (and notified to the Administrative Agent)
     to be attributable to that portion of the Aggregate Net Investment to be
     prepaid plus (iii) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other
             ----
     amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and
     the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Basic Agreements, to
     the extent accrued to such date and to accrue thereafter, as reasonably
     determined by the Funding Agents (and notified to the Administrative

                                       32
<PAGE>

          Agent) to be attributable to that portion of the Aggregate Net
     Investment to be prepaid.

          6. In connection with the Optional Prepayment of any Funding made to
     the Borrower with the proceeds of Commercial Paper, the Borrower shall, on
     the related Interest Payment Date, pay to the related CP Lenders all
     interest or discount, as applicable, accrued and unpaid and to accrue
     through the maturity date(s) related to such Commercial Paper.

                 The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees and
     expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Secured
     Parties in connection with any Optional Prepayment (including, but not
     limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of
     the Administrative Agent over the Receivables, related Other Conveyed
     Property in connection with such Optional Prepayment) not to exceed $25,000
     annually.

                 (iii) Although the VFN shall be dated the date hereof, Carrying
     Costs in respect thereof shall be payable in the manner specified therein
     and in the other Basic Agreements only for the periods during which amounts
     are outstanding thereunder. In addition, although the stated principal
     amount of the VFN shall be equal to the Maximum Facility Limit, the VFN
     shall be enforceable with respect to the Borrower's obligation to pay the
     principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount
     outstanding thereunder at the time such enforcement shall be sought.
     Principal on the VFN shall be payable by the Borrower in the manner and on
     the dates specified in the VFN and in the other Basic Agreements.

          (g) Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the Secured Parties under

     respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Agreements.

             (viii) The Sellers and the Borrower shall have filed any financing

                      ------------------------
purposes of this Section 7.2 only, being a "Recipient") shall obtain any payment
                                            ---------
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or
otherwise) on account of any interest in the VFN owned by it (other than
payments made in connection with any same day Funding) in excess of its ratable
share (based on the proportion of its Net Investment to the aggregate Net
Investment of all Lender Groups) of payments on account of any interest in the
VFN obtained by such Secured Parties entitled thereto, such Recipient shall
forthwith purchase from such Secured Parties entitled to a share of such amount
participations in the percentage interests owned by such Persons as shall be
necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each
such other Person entitled thereto; provided, however, that if all or any
                                    --------  -------
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered

                                      36
<PAGE>

from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be
rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase
price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such
recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person's ratable share
(according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person's required
payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest
or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount
so recovered. Payments received by a Recipient in connection with any same day
Funding shall be treated by PARCO APA Banks in the same manner set forth in this
                                                   ----
Section.

     Section 7.3 Right of Setoff. Without in any way limiting the provisions of
                 ---------------
Section 7.2, each of the Secured Parties is hereby authorized (in addition to
any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of a Termination
Event or during the continuance of a Potential Termination Event to setoff,
appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held
or owing by such Secured Party to, or for the account of, the Borrower against
the amount owing by the Borrower hereunder to such Person (even if contingent or
unmatured).

     Section 7.4 Interest. (a) Any Funding (or portion thereof) funded by a CP
                 --------
Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper shall bear interest calculated
at such CP Lender's applicable CP Rate.

     (b) At the option of the Borrower (and in the case of HLS, following a
Wind-Down Event for HLS), any Funding (or portion thereof) made by a CP Lender
other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper or by an APA Bank in such
Lending Group to the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof shall bear interest
at either (i) if available from such APA Bank to the Borrower on the related
Funding Date, the related Eurodollar Rate for such APA Bank or (ii) in all other
cases, the related Alternate Base Rate for such APA Bank; provided that any
                                                          --------
Funding (or portion thereof) made by Eiffel other than through the issuance of
Commercial Paper or by an Eiffel Liquidity Bank shall bear interest at the
Eiffel Eurodollar Rate.

     (c) If any principal of, or interest on, any portion of any Funding or any
fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount
shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to the applicable Alternate Base Rate plus 2%.
                                      ----


                                       37
<PAGE>

     (d) Accrued Interest on each Funding shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Funding and upon the Commitment Expiry Date and,
if applicable, upon each Interest Payment Date following the Commitment Expiry
Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
      --------
Section 7.4 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment of
any Funding or prepayment (other than with respect to a CP Funding) of any
Funding, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of
any conversion of any ABR Funding or Eurodollar Funding pursuant to Section 7.7,
accrued interest on such ABR Funding or Eurodollar Funding shall be payable on
the Distribution Date occurring immediately after such conversion.

     (e) All interest on Fundings hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that interest computed when an Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate shall be determined by each
Funding Agent (with notice to the Administrative Agent), and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (f) If a Termination Event (other than a Termination Event described in
clause (p) of the definition thereof) has occurred and is continuing, then
interest thereafter accruing on all Fundings then existing or thereafter made
shall accrue at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%.

     Section 7.5 Payments Generally. All payments by the Borrower hereunder
                 ------------------
shall be at the times, and in the manner, specified in Section 6.8 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the
other Basic Agreements to the contrary, all amounts due and owing to the
Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Secured Parties by the Borrower
hereunder and under the other Basic Agreements (if not due on an earlier date in
accordance with the terms hereof or the other Basic Agreements) will be due and
payable on the Distribution Date occurring in the month seventy-eight (78)
months following the Commitment Expiry Date.

     Section 7.6 Broken Funding. In the event of (a) the payment of any
                 --------------
principal of any Eurodollar Funding other than on the last day of a Eurodollar
Funding Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Termination Event,
Potential Termination Event or Optional Prepayment), (b) the conversion of any

                                       38
<PAGE>

Eurodollar Funding other than on the applicable Interest Payment Date or (c) any
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Funding on the
date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall compensate the APA Banks, for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any APA Bank shall be
deemed to include an amount determined by such APA Bank to be the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Eurodollar Funding had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar
Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Funding, for the period
from the date of such event to the Interest Payment Date therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have
been the related Eurodollar Funding Period), over (ii) the amount of interest
which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which such APA Bank would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such
period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks
in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of any APA Bank setting forth
any amount or amounts that such APA Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 7.6 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each such APA Bank the amount shown as
due on any such certificate on the next succeeding Distribution Date after
receipt thereof.

     Section 7.7 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances Made by the
                 ---------------------------------------------------------------
APA Banks. Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Potential
---------
Termination Event, (a) each ABR Funding hereunder may, at the option of the
Borrower, be converted to a Eurodollar Funding, (b) each Eurodollar Funding
hereunder may, at the option of the Borrower, be continued as a Eurodollar
Funding or converted to an ABR Funding. If a Termination Event or Potential
Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, then, for so long as any such
Termination Event or Potential Termination Event is continuing, (i) no
outstanding Funding may be converted to, or continued as, a Eurodollar Funding,
(ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Funding shall be converted to an ABR Funding
on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date related thereto. For any such
conversion or continuation, the Borrower shall give the applicable Funding Agent
irrevocable notice (each, a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of such request
                             ------------------------------
not later than 12:30 P.M. (New York time) (i) in the case of a conversion of an
ABR Funding into a Eurodollar Funding, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Funding
as a Eurodollar Funding, three (3) Business Days before the date of such
conversion or continuation, as applicable, and (ii) following the occurrence and
continuation of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event, in the
case of a conversion of a Eurodollar Funding into an ABR Funding or a
continuation of an ABR Funding as an ABR Funding, on the

                                       39
<PAGE>

Business Day of such conversion (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). If a
Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been timely delivered with respect to any
ABR Funding or Eurodollar Funding, such Funding shall be automatically continued
as, or converted to, an ABR Funding. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall
specify (a) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such
conversion or continuation, (b) the aggregate amount and rate option applicable
to the Funding which is to be converted or continued and (c) the amount and rate
option(s) of Funding(s) into which such Funding is to be converted or continued.
Each CP Funding and in the case of HLS, prior to the occurrence of a Wind-Down
Event with respect to HLS (or upon the termination of such Wind-Down Event, if
applicable), shall be continued, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for
another CP Funding Period of a duration to be agreed upon between the Borrower
and such CP Lender (or, if the Borrower does not specify the duration, for a
duration specified by such CP Lender).

     Section 7.8 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if,
                 ----------
after the Effective Date, the adoption of any Law or bank regulatory guideline
or any amendment or change in the interpretation of any existing or future Law
or bank regulatory guideline by any Official Body charged with the
administration, interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with
any directive of any Official Body (in the case of any bank regulatory
guideline, whether or not having the force of Law), shall make it unlawful for
any APA Bank to acquire or maintain a Eurodollar Funding as contemplated by this
Agreement, (i) such APA Bank shall promptly, after becoming aware thereof,
notify the Funding Agent and the Borrower thereof, (ii) the commitment of such
APA Bank hereunder to make a portion of a Eurodollar Funding, continue any
portion of a Eurodollar Funding as such and convert an ABR Funding to a
Eurodollar Funding shall forthwith be cancelled, and such cancellation shall
remain in effect so long as the circumstance described above exists, and (iii)
such APA Bank's portion of any Eurodollar Funding then outstanding shall be
converted automatically to an ABR Funding on the last day of the related
Eurodollar Funding Period, or within such earlier period as required by law.

     If any such conversion of a portion of a Eurodollar Funding occurs on a day
which is not the last day of the related Eurodollar Funding Period, the Borrower
shall pay to such APA Bank such amounts, if any, as may be required to
compensate such APA Bank pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof. If circumstances
subsequently change so that it is no longer unlawful for an affected APA Bank to
acquire or to maintain a portion of a Eurodollar Funding as contemplated
hereunder, such APA Bank will, as soon as reasonably practicable after such APA
Bank knows of such change in circumstances, notify the Borrower, and the related
Funding Agent

                                       40
<PAGE>

(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and upon receipt of such notice, the
obligations of such APA Bank to acquire or maintain its acquisition of portions
of Eurodollar Fundings or to convert its portion of an ABR Funding into portions
of Eurodollar Fundings shall be reinstated.

              (b) Each APA Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 7.8(a) with respect to such APA Bank, it
will, if requested by the Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the
relevant Official Body, endeavor in good faith to change the office at which it
books its portions of Eurodollar Fundings hereunder if such change would make it
lawful for such APA Bank to continue to acquire or to maintain its acquisition
of portions of Eurodollar Fundings hereunder; provided that such change may be
                                              --------
made in such manner that such APA Bank, in its sole determination, suffers no
unreimbursed cost or expense or any other disadvantage whatsoever.

              Section 7.9 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. If, prior to
                          --------------------------------------
the first day of any Eurodollar Period:

                     (i) the applicable Funding Agent shall have determined
     (which determination in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive
     and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting
     the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
     ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Funding Period; or

                     (ii) the applicable Funding Agent shall have received
     notice from one or more of the APA Banks in its Lending Group that the
     Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Eurodollar Funding
     Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such APA Banks
     (as conclusively certified by such APA Banks) of purchasing or maintaining
     their affected portions of Eurodollar Fundings during such Eurodollar
     Funding Period;

then, in either such event, such Funding Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic
notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
and the APA Banks in its Lending Group as soon as practicable thereafter. Until
such notice has been withdrawn by such Funding Agent, no further Eurodollar
Fundings shall be made with respect to such Lending Group. Each Funding Agent
agrees to withdraw any such notice as soon as reasonably practicable after it is
notified of a change in circumstances which makes such notice inapplicable.

     Section 7.10 Fees. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Funding Agent,
                  ----
for the account of the Secured Parties in its Lending Group (and, if applicable,
itself), the fees specified in the Fee Letter. Such payments shall be made to
the Funding Agents on the dates and in the manner specified in the Fee Letters.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 8.1 Indemnity. Without limiting any other rights which the Secured
                 ---------
Parties may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower agrees to
indemnify the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Securities
Intermediary and any of their permitted assigns and their respective agents,
officers, directors and employees (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") from and
                                                  -------------------
against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees (which such attorneys may be employees of
the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Securities Intermediary)
and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
"Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of
 -------------------
or as a result of this Agreement and the other Basic Agreements, excluding,
however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party or (ii) recourse
(except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement and the other Basic
Agreements) for uncollectible Receivables, Asset Backed Securities and Other
Conveyed Property. Such Indemnified Amounts shall be paid in accordance with the
terms of the other Basic Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified
Amounts relating to or resulting from:

     (a) reliance on any representation or warranty made by the Borrower (or any
officers of the Borrower) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Basic Agreements, any Funding Request or any other information or
report delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have
been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

     (b) the failure by the Borrower to comply with any applicable law, rule or
regulation with respect to the Collateral, or the nonconformity of the
Collateral with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

     (c) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties a first priority perfected security interest in
the

                                       42
<PAGE>

Collateral (including, without limitation, all Financed Vehicles securing
Receivables), free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien of this
Agreement);

     (d) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements,
continuation statements, or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC
of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to all or
any part of the Collateral or the failure to note the lien of the Borrower
and/or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, on the
certificate of title to any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable, which
failure has an adverse effect on the validity, perfected status or priority of
the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties under this Agreement;

     (e) any valid dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in
bankruptcy of the related Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any
Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable
not being legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the
sale of a Financed Vehicle or services related to such Receivable or the
furnishing or failure to furnish such Financed Vehicle or services;

     (f) any failure of the Borrower to perform its duties, covenants or
obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

     (g) any product liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit
or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort arising out of or
in connection with the related Financed Vehicle or related merchandise or
services which are the subject of any Receivable; or

     (h) the co-mingling of Collections with any other funds;

     provided, however, that if a CP Lender enters into agreements for the
     --------  -------
purchase of interests in receivables from one or more Other Transferors, such CP
Lender shall allocate such Indemnified Amounts which are in connection with its
activities to the Borrower and each Other Transferor; and provided further that
                                                          -------- -------
if such Indemnified Amounts are attributable to the Borrower and not
attributable to any Other Transferor, the Borrower shall be solely liable for
such Indemnified Amounts or, if such Indemnified Amounts are attributable to
Other Transferors and not attributable to the Borrower, such Other Transferors
shall be solely liable for such Indemnified Amounts.

     Section 8.2  Indemnity for Reserves and Expenses. (a) If after the date
                  -----------------------------------
hereof, the adoption of any Law or bank regulatory guideline or any amendment or
change in the interpretation of any existing or future Law or bank regulatory
guideline by any Official Body charged with the administration, interpretation
or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive of any Official
Body (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the
force of Law):

          (1) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
     deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such
     requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
     System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
     extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party
     or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London
     interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, the other
     Basic Agreements, any Asset Purchase Agreement, any liquidity agreement
     between a CP Lender and one or more financial institutions relating to this
     Agreement, the Collateral or payments of amounts due hereunder or
     thereunder or its obligation to advance funds under any agreement or
     otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Basic Agreements, any
     Asset Purchase Agreement, any liquidity agreement between a CP Lender and
     one or more financial institutions relating to this Agreement, or the
     Collateral; or

          (2) imposes upon any Indemnified Party any other expense (including,
     without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and expenses
     of litigation or preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing)
     with respect to this Agreement, the other Basic Agreements, any Asset
     Purchase Agreement, any liquidity agreement between a CP Lender and one or
     more financial institutions relating to this Agreement, the Collateral or
     payments of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or its obligation to
     advance funds under any agreement or otherwise in respect of this
     Agreement, the other Basic Agreements, any Asset Purchase Agreement, any
     liquidity agreement between a CP Lender and one or more financial
     institutions relating to this Agreement, or the Collateral;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement, the other Basic Agreements,
any Asset Purchase Agreement, any liquidity agreement between a CP Lender and
one or more financial

                                       44
<PAGE>

institutions relating to this Agreement, the Collateral and the obligations
hereunder and thereunder, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Indemnified
Party to be material, then, on the next succeeding Distribution Date after
demand by a Funding Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Funding Agent, for the
benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased cost; provided that no such
                                                           --------
amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than two
hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date such Funding Agent first notifies
the Borrower of its intention to demand compensation therefor under this Section
8.2(a); provided further that if such change in Law, rule or regulation giving
        -------- -------
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 270-day
period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     (b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that after the date
hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding capital
adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having
the force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent)
as a consequence of such Indemnified Party's obligations hereunder or under any
of the Basic Agreements, any Asset Purchase Agreement, any liquidity agreement
between a CP Lender and one or more financial institutions relating to this
Agreement, or with respect hereto or thereto to a level below that which such
Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption,
change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Indemnified
Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand
by a Funding Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Funding Agent, for the
benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction; provided
                                                                      --------
that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing two
hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date such Funding Agent first notifies
the Borrower of its intention to demand compensation under this Section 8.2(b);
provided further that if such change in Law, rule or regulation giving rise to
-------- -------
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 270-day period
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     (c) The Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each Funding
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to

                                       45
<PAGE>

compensation pursuant to this Article VIII. A notice by the Administrative Agent
or a Funding Agent claiming compensation for the benefit of an Indemnified Party
under this Article VIII and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary
or such Funding Agent may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

     Section 8.3  Indemnity for Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower
                  -------------------
under this Agreement and any other Basic Agreement shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Official Body, excluding (i) taxes imposed on the
                                           ---------
net income of the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary, any Funding
Agent or any other Indemnified Party, however denominated, and (ii) franchise
taxes imposed on any of them in lieu of income taxes, in each case imposed: (1)
by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein; (2) by any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative
Agent, the Securities Intermediary, any Funding Agent or such Indemnified Party
or lending office is organized or in which its lending office is located,
managed or controlled or in which its principal office is located or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or (3) by reason
of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax and the
Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary, any such Funding Agent, such
Indemnified Party or such lending office other than a connection arising solely
from this Agreement or any other Basic Agreement or any transaction hereunder or
thereunder (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If any such
                                                           -----
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative
Agent, the Securities Intermediary, any Funding Agent or any Indemnified Party
hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent, the Securities
Intermediary, any such Funding Agent or such Indemnified Party shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all
Taxes) all amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in
this Agreement and the other Basic Agreements. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary, any Funding Agent or any such
Indemnified Party for the full amount of any such Taxes on the Distribution Date
immediately succeeding the date of written demand therefor by such Person.

     (b) Each Indemnified Party that is not incorporated under the laws of the
United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia shall:

                                       46
<PAGE>

          (i)   deliver to the Borrower and to the related Funding Agent (A) two
     duly completed copies of IRS Form 1001 or Form 4224, or successor
     applicable form, as the case may be, and (B) if applicable, an IRS Form W-8
     or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;

          (ii)  deliver to the Borrower and to the related Funding Agent two (2)
     further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that
     any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the
     occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
     previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

          (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such
     forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or
     such Funding Agent;

unless, in any such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Indemnified Party from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Indemnified Party so
advises the Borrower and the related Funding Agent. Each such Indemnified Party
so organized shall certify (i) in the case of an IRS Form 1001 or IRS Form 4224,
that it is entitled to receive payments under the this Agreement and the other
Basic Agreements without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes and (ii) in the case of an IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person
that becomes a party to this Agreement as an APA Bank, shall, prior to the
effectiveness of such assignment, participation or addition, as applicable, be
required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this
Section 8.3.

     Section 8.4  Other Costs, Expenses and Related Matters. The Borrower
                  -----------------------------------------
agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to
save the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Securities
Intermediary harmless against liability for the payment of, all reasonable out-
of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys',
accountants' and other third parties' fees and expenses, and any filing fees and
expenses incurred by officers or employees of the Secured Parties, the
Administrative Agent, or the Securities Intermediary) incurred by or on behalf
of any Secured Party, the Administrative

Agent or the Securities Intermediary (i) in connection with the negotiation,
execution, delivery and preparation of this Agreement and the other Basic
Agreements and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or thereto
and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (ii) from time to time
(a) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement and the
other Basic Agreements, (b) arising in connection with the Administrative
Agent's, the Securities Intermediary, the Secured Parties' or their respective
agents' enforcement or preservation of rights (including, without limitation,
the perfection and protection of the Administrative Agent's first priority
security interest in the Collateral), or (c) arising in connection with any
audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving
this Agreement.

party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing,

unenforceable and the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of any
such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or
circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or

validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The parties
hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction
that any remedy pursued by the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured
Parties hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way
the ability of the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties to pursue
any other remedy available to it or them (subject, however, to any provisions of

that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Basic
Agreements to which it is a party, by among other things, this waiver.

employees be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by
it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Basic

Bank shall have all of the rights and benefits of an "APA Bank" hereunder and
under the other Basic Agreements, and each APA Bank shall assume, and be bound
by and liable for, all of the duties and obligations of an "APA Bank" hereunder
and thereunder to the extent specified herein and therein, in each case as if
such rights, benefits, duties, and obligations were set forth in their entirety
in the related Asset Purchase Agreement.

day since the last day on which any such CP Lender's Commercial Paper or other

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the

to pay in full all of its outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds
are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not
constitute a claim against such CP Lender, but shall continue to accrue. Each
party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of
Title 11, United States Code (Bankruptcy)) of any such party against a CP
Lender, shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all of such Lender's
outstanding Commercial Paper.

contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder,

or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is

contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal
liability for breaches by a CP Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or
agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or
regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member,

consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing
                                                   --------

a result of their willful misconduct or of fraudulent actions taken or
fraudulent omissions made by them.

may have or to it may be entitled against a CP Lender or its assets.
