            (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept the Note Register, comprising

such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may prescribe, the Issuer shall

assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

            (b) If a Person other than the CARAT Indenture Trustee is appointed
by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the CARAT Indenture
Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of
the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register. The CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all

2005-SN1 Notes.

            (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any CARAT
2005-SN1 Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or
the Agency Office of the Issuer (and following the delivery, in the former case,

authorized

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuer (and following the
delivery, in the former case, of such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to the Issuer by the
CARAT Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall execute, and the CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder shall obtain from
the CARAT Indenture Trustee, such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes which the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

            (e) All CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of other CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be the valid
obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this CARAT Indenture, as the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

            (f) Every CARAT 2005-SN1 Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
CARAT Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a
correspondent located, in the City of New York or the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office of the CARAT Indenture Trustee is located, or by a member
firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the CARAT
Indenture Trustee may require.

            (g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, but the Issuer or CARAT
Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

            (h) By acquiring a CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or any interest therein, each
purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either
(a) it is not acquiring the CARAT 2005-SN1 Note with the plan assets of a
Benefit Plan or (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the CARAT
2005-SN1 Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under

            (i) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding,
the Issuer shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note

that: (i) have been selected for redemption pursuant to Article X, if
applicable; (ii) are due for repayment within 15 days of submission to the
Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office; or (iii) with respect to any
Private Notes or Class A-1 Notes, if Section 2.15 has not been complied with in
connection with such transfer.

      SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes.

            (a) If (i) any mutilated CARAT 2005-SN1 Note is surrendered to the
CARAT Indenture Trustee, or the CARAT Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, and
(ii) there is delivered to the CARAT Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

and the CARAT Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Issuer, the Note Registrar or the CARAT Indenture Trustee that such CARAT
2005-SN1 Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall
execute and upon the Issuer's request the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, a replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
of a like class and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any
such destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, but not a mutilated CARAT
2005-SN1 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 CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, the Issuer may make payment to the Holder of such destroyed, lost
or stolen CARAT 2005-SN1 Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof.

            (b) If, after the delivery of a replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or
payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 2005-SN1 Note pursuant
to Section 2.5(a), a bona fide purchaser of the original CARAT 2005-SN1 Note in
lieu of which such replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note was issued presents for
payment such original CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, the Issuer and the CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note (or
such payment) from (i) any Person to whom it was delivered, (ii) the Person
taking such replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note from the Person to whom such
replacement CARAT 2005-SN1 Note was delivered; or (iii) any assignee of such
Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and the Issuer and the CARAT Indenture
Trustee 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

            (c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement CARAT
2005-SN1 Note under this Section 2.5, the Issuer may require the payment by the
Holder of such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including all fees and expenses of the CARAT Indenture
Trustee) connected therewith.

            (d) Any duplicate CARAT 2005-SN1 Note issued pursuant to this
Section 2.5 in replacement for any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT
2005-SN1 Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT
2005-SN1 Note shall be found at any time or be enforced by any Person, and shall
be entitled to all the benefits of this CARAT Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes duly issued
hereunder.

            (e) The provisions of this Section 2.5 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 CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes.

this CARAT Indenture. All canceled CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes may be held or disposed
of by the CARAT Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an
Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that
such Issuer Order is timely and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes have not been
previously disposed of by the CARAT Indenture Trustee. The CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall certify to the Issuer upon request that surrendered CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes have been duly canceled and retained or destroyed, as the case may be.

      SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral.

      The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this

2005-SN1 Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The
Depository Trust Company, as the initial Clearing Agency, or its custodian, by
or on behalf of the Issuer. Such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Note Depository, and
no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's
interest in such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless
and until the Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12:

            (a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and
effect;

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

            (b) the Note Registrar and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this CARAT
Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on such CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the
sole Holder of such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes and shall have no obligation to the
Note Owners;

            (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict
with any other provisions of this CARAT Indenture, the provisions of this
Section 2.10 shall control;

            (d) the rights of the Note Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are
issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency shall make
book-entry transfers between the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
transmit payments of principal of and interest on such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to
such Clearing Agency Participants, pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement;
and

            (e) whenever this CARAT Indenture requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling
Class the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to
the extent that (i) 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes; or
(ii) the CARAT Indenture Trustee has received such direction from the Note
Owners directly.

      SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders is required under this CARAT
Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note
Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no other obligation to the
Note Owners.

      SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Trust Administrator advises the
CARAT Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes and
the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Trust
Administrator, at its option, advises the CARAT Indenture Trustee in writing
that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency;
or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Trust Administrator
Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class advise 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 CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee
of the typewritten CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the
Note Registrar or the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Notes, the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Notes as CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders.

      SECTION 2.13 Seller as CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder.

      The Seller in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes of any class and may otherwise deal with the
Issuer or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Seller.

      SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment.

      The Seller and the CARAT Indenture Trustee, by entering into this CARAT
Indenture, and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, by acquiring any CARAT 2005-SN1
Note or interest therein, (i) express their intention that the CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral, and (ii) unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities, agree to treat the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes as indebtedness secured by
the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes, state and local income
and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and any other taxes imposed
upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

      SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to Private Notes and Class A-1
Notes; Transfer of Beneficial Interest in Private Notes and Class A-1 Notes.

            (a) None of the Private Notes or Class A-1 Notes have been or will
be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Consequently, the
Private Notes and Class A-1 Notes are not transferable other than pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein. The Private Notes or
Class A-1 Notes or any interest therein are being sold in a private placement on
the date hereof.

            (b) Thereafter, no further sale, pledge or other transfer of

      (I)   any Private Note (or interest therein) may be made by any person
            unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a
            "qualified institutional buyer" that executes a certificate, in the
            form attached hereto as Exhibit E or otherwise in form and substance
            satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the Seller, to the
            effect that (A) it is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined
            under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, acting for its own account
            or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined
            under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (B) it is aware that
            the transferor of such Private Notes intends to rely on the
            exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
            provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) such sale,
            pledge or other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt
            from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which
            case (A) the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall require that

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

            both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee
            certify to the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the Seller in writing the
            facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in
            form and substance satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture Trustee and
            the Seller, and (B) the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall require a
            written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the
            Seller, the Trust Administrator or the CARAT Indenture Trustee)
            satisfactory to the Seller and the CARAT Indenture Trustee to the
            effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, or

      (II)  any Class A-1 Note (or interest therein) may be made by any person
            unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a
            "qualified institutional buyer" that delivers any necessary
            certifications pursuant to Section 2.15(d) or (e) and that (A) is a
            "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A under the
            Securities Act, acting for its own account or the accounts of other
            "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A under
            the Securities Act, and (B) it is aware that the transferor of such
            Class A-1 Notes intends to rely on the exemption from the
            registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule
            144A under the Securities Act, (ii) such sale, pledge or other
            transfer occurs outside of the United States to a non-U.S. Person in
            accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S of the
            Securities Act and that Person delivers any necessary certifications
            pursuant to Section 2.15(d) or (e), or (iii) such sale, pledge or
            other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the
            registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A)
            the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective
            transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the CARAT
            Indenture Trustee and the Seller in writing the facts surrounding
            such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance
            satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the Seller, and (B)
            the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of
            counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Seller, the Trust
            Administrator or the CARAT Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the
            Seller and the CARAT Indenture Trustee to the effect that such
            transfer will not violate the Securities Act.

Neither the Seller nor the CARAT Indenture Trustee will register any of the
Private Notes or the Class A-1 Notes under the Securities Act, qualify any of
the Private Notes or the Class A-1 Notes under the securities laws of any state
or provide registration rights to any purchaser or holder thereof. The Private
Notes shall be issued in the form of Definitive Notes and shall be in fully
registered form. Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 of this CARAT Indenture shall not
apply to the Private Notes.

            (c) Each Private Note shall bear a legend to the effect set forth in
clause (I) of Section 2.15(b) above, and each Class A-1 Note shall bear a legend
to the effect set forth in clause (II) of Section 2.15(b) above.

            (d) If a transfer of a beneficial interest held by the related
transferor in the form of a Rule 144A Global Class A-1 Note to be held by the
related transferee in the form of a Rule 144A Global Class A-1 Note is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Seller or

                                      -13-

one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a
certificate from the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a certificate from
such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder's prospective transferee substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit D-2 hereto. If a transfer of a beneficial interest held
by the related transferor in the form of a Rule 144A Global Class A-1 Note to be
held by the related transferee in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global
Class A-1 Note, on or prior to the Exchange Date, or a Permanent Regulation S
Global Class A-1 Note, after the Exchange Date, is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act, then the Note Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt may conclusively
rely upon) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto (a
"Regulation S Transfer Certificate") from the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder desiring
to effect such transfer or such other certification reasonably acceptable to the
Seller and the Note Registrar, in either case to the effect that such transfer
is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S and that,
if such transfer occurs on or prior to the Exchange Date, the interest
transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or
Clearstream.

            (e) If any transfer of a beneficial interest held by the related
transferor in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Class A-1 Note or
Permanent Regulation S Global Class A-1 Note is to be made without registration
under the Securities Act, then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt may conclusively rely upon) (i) in
the case of a transfer to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Class A-1 Note, a certificate from the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the
form of Exhibit D-4 hereto (a "Rule 144A Transfer Certificate") or such other
certification reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Note Registrar; and
(ii) in the case of a transferee that takes delivery, in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Class A-1 Note, on or
prior to the Exchange Date, or a Permanent Regulation S Global Class A-1 Note,
after the Exchange Date, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such other certification
reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Note Registrar, in either case to
the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904
of Regulation S and that, if such transfer occurs on or prior to the Exchange
Date, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through
Euroclear or Clearstream. A beneficial interest in the Class A-1 Notes held by
the related transferor in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Class A-1
Note may be exchanged, only on or after the Exchange Date, for a beneficial
interest held by the related transferor in the form of a Permanent Regulation S
Global Class A-1 Note, upon delivery to the Note Registrar of a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-5 hereto (a "Clearing System
Certificate").

                                    COVENANTS

      SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest.

      The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes in accordance with the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes and this
CARAT Indenture. On each Distribution Date and on the Redemption Date (if
applicable), the Issuer shall cause

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 8.2, less amounts
properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholder of interest and/or principal. Any amounts so withheld shall
be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholder for all purposes of this CARAT Indenture.

      SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Agency Office.

      As long as any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes remains outstanding, the Issuer
shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office (the

surrendered to the Issuer for registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
and this CARAT Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the
CARAT Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The
Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the CARAT Indenture Trustee of the
location, and of any change in the location, of the Agency Office. If at any
time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the CARAT Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the CARAT Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the CARAT
Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and
demands.

      SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

            (a) As provided in Section 8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts
due and payable with respect to any CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes that are to be made
from amounts withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section
8.2(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the CARAT Indenture Trustee or
by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Note Distribution
Account for payments of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer
except as provided in this Section 3.3.

            (b) On or before each Distribution Date or the Redemption Date (if
applicable), the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Trust Sale and
Administration Agreement an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due with respect to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto.

            (c) The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the CARAT
Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the CARAT Indenture Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the CARAT Indenture
Trustee (and if the CARAT Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so
agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent
shall:

                  (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due
with respect to the CARAT 2005-SN1 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;

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) give the CARAT Indenture Trustee notice of any default by
the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes) of which it has
actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect
to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes;

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

                  (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
the CARAT Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to
be met by a Paying Agent in effect at the time of determination; and

                  (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to
the withholding from any payments made by it on any CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes of any
applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable
reporting requirements in connection therewith.

            (d) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this CARAT Indenture or for any other purpose, by
Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the CARAT Indenture Trustee all
sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the CARAT
Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by
such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the CARAT
Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money.

            (e) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any
money held by the CARAT Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and remaining
unclaimed for one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be
discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the
Holder of such CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the CARAT Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such payment, may 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 shall be
paid to the Issuer. The CARAT Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at
the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such
payment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such payment to
Holders whose CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Indenture
Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).

      SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Administration of COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes.

            (a) The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use all
reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would
release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations
under any instrument or agreement included in the CARAT Trust Estate or that
would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or
agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this CARAT Indenture, the
Trust Sale and Administration Agreement, the Pooling and Administration
Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

            (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this CARAT Indenture, and any performance of such
duties by a Person identified to the CARAT Indenture Trustee in the CARAT Basic
Documents or an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action
taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Trust
Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this CARAT
Indenture.

            (c) The Issuer shall punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this CARAT Indenture, the other CARAT

Administration Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided

Administrator Default under the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement, the
Issuer shall promptly notify the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies
thereof and shall specify in such notice the response or action, if any, the
Issuer has taken or is taking with respect of such default. If a Trust
Administrator Default shall arise from the failure of the Trust Administrator to
perform any of its duties or obligations under the Trust Sale and Administration
Agreement or the Pooling and Administration Agreement with respect to the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes, the Issuer and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall take
all reasonable steps available to them pursuant to the Trust Sale and
Administration Agreement and the Pooling and Administration Agreement to remedy
such failure.

            (e) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment

modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any

reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the CARAT
Trust Estate;

            (c) voluntarily commence any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or other proceeding, or apply for an order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority for the winding-up or liquidation

Indenture or any other Basic Document to be impaired, or permit the lien of this
CARAT Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or
discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or
obligations with respect to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes under this CARAT Indenture
except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (ii) permit any lien, charge,
excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the
lien of this CARAT Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise
upon or burden the CARAT Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest
therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics' liens and
other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on a Vehicle and
arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Lessee), or
(iii) permit the lien of this CARAT Indenture not to constitute a valid first
priority security interest in the CARAT Trust Estate (other than tax liens,
mechanics' liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on

Lessee).

transferred, assigned or pledged by the Issuer to any Person other than the
CARAT Indenture Trustee; immediately prior to the conveyance of the COLT

marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of
this CARAT Indenture by the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall have all
of the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the
collateral security therefor, free of any Lien. The Issuer has caused COLT to
have the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes registered in the name of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee.

      SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. For the purposes of this CARAT Indenture,
"Event of Default" wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this CARAT Indenture (other
than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of
which is elsewhere specifically dealt with in this Section 5.1) which failure
materially and adversely affects the rights of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders,
and such default shall continue or not be cured, for a period of 30 days after
there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Seller (or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable) by the CARAT Indenture Trustee or to the
Seller (or the Trust Administrator, as applicable) and the CARAT Indenture
Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the

            (e) 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 CARAT Trust Estate 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 any substantial part of the CARAT Trust
Estate, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer's affairs, and
such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90
consecutive days; or

            (f) 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 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

custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any
substantial part of the CARAT Trust Estate, or the making by the Issuer of any
general assignment for the

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

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 deliver to the CARAT Indenture Trustee within five Business
Days after learning of 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 under Section 5.1(d), its status and
what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

      SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

            (a) If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and
in every such case, unless the principal amount of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
shall have already become due and payable, either the CARAT Indenture Trustee or
the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may declare all the CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer
(and to the CARAT Indenture Trustee if given by the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders)
setting forth the Event or Events of Default, and upon any such declaration the
unpaid principal amount of such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable.

            (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity
of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due thereunder has been obtained by the CARAT Indenture
Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling
Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the CARAT Indenture Trustee, may
waive all Defaults set forth in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a),
and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided, however,
that no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any other
Default or impair any right consequent thereto; and provided, further, that if
the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
CARAT Indenture and such Proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason, or such
Proceedings shall have been determined adversely to the CARAT Indenture Trustee,
then and in every such case, the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively
to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such Proceedings
had been commenced.

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

            (a) The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default occurs and such
Event of Default has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.12, the Issuer shall,
upon demand of the CARAT Indenture Trustee, pay to the CARAT Indenture Trustee,
for the ratable benefit of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders in accordance with
their respective outstanding principal

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

amounts, the whole amount then due and payable on such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes for
principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, at the rate
borne by the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes 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 CARAT
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

            (b) If the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the CARAT Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Issuer or other obligor upon such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, wherever situated,
the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

            (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this CARAT 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
CARAT Indenture Trustee by this CARAT Indenture or by applicable law.

            (d) If there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the CARAT Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or if 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 CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the
CARAT Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the CARAT Indenture Trustee
shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, 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 CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the CARAT Indenture Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result
of negligence, fraud or bad faith) and of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders allowed
in such Proceedings;

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to
vote on behalf of the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders and of the CARAT
Indenture 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
CARAT Indenture Trustee or the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders to make payments to the CARAT Indenture Trustee for application in
accordance with the priorities set forth in the CARAT Basic Documents, and, if
the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to
such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, to pay to the CARAT Indenture Trustee such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the CARAT
Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the CARAT Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee
except as a result of negligence, fraud or bad faith.

            (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the CARAT
Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on
behalf of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or the rights of
any Holder thereof or to authorize the CARAT Indenture Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder in any such proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or
similar Person.

            (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this CARAT
Indenture, or under any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, may be enforced by the
CARAT Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative
thereto, and any such Proceedings instituted by the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties
in accordance with the priorities set forth in the CARAT Basic Documents.

            (g) In any Proceedings brought by the CARAT Indenture Trustee (and
also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this CARAT
Indenture to which the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders,
and it shall not be necessary to make any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder a party to
any such Proceedings.

      SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes have been accelerated
under Section 5.2(a), the CARAT Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.3 and Section 5.5):

                  (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or under this CARAT Indenture with respect thereto, whether
by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and
collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
monies adjudged due;

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

                  (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 CARAT Indenture Trustee and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders; and

                  (iv) sell the CARAT Trust Estate 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 or elect to have the Issuer maintain
possession of the CARAT Trust Estate and continue to apply payments on the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes as if there had been no declaration of acceleration;
provided, however, that the CARAT Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the CARAT Trust Estate following an Event of Default and acceleration
of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, unless (i) (A) the Holders of all of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes consent thereto or (B) the
proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the accrued
interest on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, each at the date of such sale or
liquidation or (C) (x) there has been an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a),
(b) or (c) or otherwise arising from a failure to make a required payment of
principal on any CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, (y) the CARAT Indenture Trustee
determines that the CARAT Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes
as and when they would have become due if the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes had not been
declared due and payable, and (z) the CARAT Indenture Trustee obtains the
consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class and (ii) ten days' prior written notice of sale or liquidation
has been given to the Rating Agencies. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Trust Estate for such
purpose.

            (b) If the CARAT Indenture Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the
following order:

                  FIRST: to the CARAT Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
            Section 6.7 and then to the CARAT Owner Trustee for amounts due to
            the CARAT Owner Trustee (not including amounts

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

            due for payments to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Certificateholders) under the
            Trust Agreement or the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement; and

                  SECOND: to the CARAT Collection Account, for distribution
            pursuant to Sections 8.01(b) and (e) of the Trust Sale and
            Administration Agreement.

      SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the CARAT Trust Estate. If the CARAT
2005-SN1 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 in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the CARAT
Indenture Trustee may, but need not elect to, take and maintain possession of
the CARAT Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Secured
Parties that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of the
Secured Obligations to the Secured Parties and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall
take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and
maintain possession of the CARAT Trust Estate. In determining whether to take
and maintain possession of the CARAT Trust Estate, the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Trust Estate for such
purpose.

      SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this CARAT Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

            (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Controlling Class have made written request to the CARAT Indenture Trustee
to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name
as CARAT Indenture Trustee hereunder;

            (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the CARAT Indenture
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in complying with such request;

            (d) the CARAT Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice under Section 5.6 of the COLT Indenture, request and offer of
indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

            (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the CARAT Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of this

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

CARAT Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders
of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or to enforce any right under
this CARAT Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable (on the basis of the respective aggregate amount of principal and
interest, respectively, due and unpaid on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes held by each
CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder) and common benefit of all holders of CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.6,
each and every CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or in equity.

            If the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Controlling Class, the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall take the action
requested by the group representing the higher percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this
CARAT Indenture.

      SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders To Receive
Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this CARAT
Indenture, the Holder of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall have the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest,
on such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note on or after the respective due dates thereof
expressed in such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or in this CARAT Indenture (or, in the
case of redemption, if applicable, 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 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the CARAT Indenture
Trustee or any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this CARAT Indenture and such Proceeding has
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely
to the CARAT Indenture Trustee or to such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder, then and in
every such case the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored
severally to their respective former positions hereunder, and thereafter all
rights and remedies of the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the CARAT Indenture Trustee or to the CARAT
2005-SN1 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 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
CARAT Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

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 CARAT
Indenture Trustee or to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the CARAT Indenture
Trustee or by the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, as the case may be.

      SECTION 5.11 Control by CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders. The Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to
provision being made for indemnification against costs, expenses and liabilities
in a form satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available
to the CARAT Indenture Trustee with respect to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the CARAT Indenture Trustee;
provided, however, that:

            (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this CARAT Indenture;

            (b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to
the CARAT Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the CARAT Trust Estate shall be
by the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing not less than 100% of the
Outstanding Amount of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes;

            (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied
and the CARAT Indenture Trustee elects to retain the CARAT Trust Estate pursuant
to Section 5.5, then any direction to the CARAT Indenture Trustee by Holders of
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to sell or liquidate the CARAT Trust Estate shall be of
no force and effect; and

            (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided,
however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the CARAT Indenture Trustee need not take
any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability or might
materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such
action.

      SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

            (a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of not less
than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may waive any
past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (i) in
the payment of principal of or interest on any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. In the
case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and
rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

            (b) 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 CARAT Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

      SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this CARAT Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note by such Holder's acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
CARAT Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the CARAT Indenture Trustee for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by
any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such
Proceeding, 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 5.13
shall not apply to:

            (a) any Proceeding instituted by the CARAT Indenture Trustee;

            (b) any Proceeding instituted by the any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder,
or group of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate
more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class; or

            (c) any Proceeding instituted by any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder for
the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any CARAT 2005-SN1
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and in this CARAT Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).

      SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
CARAT Indenture. The Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the CARAT Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law had been enacted.

      SECTION 5.15 Action on CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes. The CARAT Indenture Trustee's
right to seek and recover judgment on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or under this
CARAT Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application
of any other relief under or with respect to this CARAT Indenture. Neither the
lien of this CARAT Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the CARAT Indenture
Trustee or the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the CARAT Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of
any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the CARAT Trust Estate or
upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the
CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

      SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

            (a) Promptly following a request from the CARAT Indenture Trustee to
do so and at the Trust Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all
such lawful action as the CARAT Indenture Trustee may request to compel or
secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Trust Administrator
of their respective obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the
Trust Sale and Administration Agreement and the Pooling and Administration
Agreement or by GMAC of its obligations under or in connection with the Pooling
and Administration Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof or by any

thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings
to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Trust Administrator or any
obligor under a Third Party Instrument of their respective obligations under the
Trust Sale and Administration Agreement, the Pooling and Administration
Agreement, and any Third Party Instrument.

            (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall,
exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer
against the Seller, the Trust Administrator or any obligor under a Third Party
Instrument under or in connection with the Trust Sale and Administration
Agreement, the Pooling and Administration Agreement or a Third Party Instrument,
including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance
or observance by the Seller or the Trust Administrator of each of their
obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Trust Sale and Administration

writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall,
exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Seller
against GMAC under or in connection with the Pooling and Administration
Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure
performance or observance by GMAC of each of its obligations to the Seller
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval,
extension or waiver under the Pooling and Administration Agreement, and any
right of the Seller to take such action shall be suspended.

                           THE CARAT INDENTURE TRUSTEE

            (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this

prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

            (b)   (i) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
CARAT Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this CARAT Indenture and the Trust Sale and

into this CARAT Indenture, the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement or any
other Basic Document against the CARAT Indenture Trustee.

                  (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this CARAT Indenture; provided, however, that the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform
to the requirements of this CARAT Indenture.

            (c) The CARAT Indenture Trustee 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 Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section
6.1(b);

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

                  (iii) the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with
a direction received by it pursuant to any provision of this CARAT Indenture or

this CARAT Indenture or the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement or the Trust

Document shall require the CARAT Indenture Trustee 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

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

            (g) Every provision of this CARAT Indenture and each other CARAT
Basic Document relating to the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.1 and the provisions of the TIA.

            (h) The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall have no liability or
responsibility for the acts or omissions of any other party to any of the CARAT
Basic Documents.

            (i) In no event shall the CARAT Indenture Trustee be liable for any
damages in the nature of special, indirect or consequential damages, however
styled, including lost profits, even if the CARAT Indenture Trustee has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

      SECTION 6.2 Rights of CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (a) The CARAT Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by

CARAT Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.

            (b) Before the CARAT Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting,
it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The CARAT

            (c) The CARAT Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or

of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee
appointed with due care by it hereunder.

            (d) The CARAT Indenture Trustee 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 CARAT Indenture
Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

            (e) The CARAT Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the
advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
CARAT Indenture and the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be full and complete

omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel.

            (f) The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this CARAT Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this CARAT Indenture,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the CARAT Indenture Trustee security
or indemnity satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction.

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

            (g) The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document, but the CARAT Indenture Trustee, in its direction, may make such
further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

            (h) The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of any Default, Event of Default or Trust Administrator Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the CARAT Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof
or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the CARAT Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
CARAT Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
CARAT Indenture.

            (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the CARAT Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, its right
to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity
under Section 4.4 hereof, and in connection with the performance of any of its
duties or obligations under any of the CARAT Basic Documents.

      SECTION 6.3 CARAT Indenture Trustee May Own CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes. The
CARAT Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer,
the Trust Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not CARAT Indenture Trustee; provided, however,
that the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any
Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same
with like rights.

      SECTION 6.4 CARAT Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of any CARAT Basic Document, including this CARAT Indenture
or the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of
the proceeds from the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, and it shall not be responsible for
any statement of the Issuer in the CARAT Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or in the CARAT 2005-SN1
Notes other than the CARAT Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

      SECTION 6.5 Notice of Default. If a Default occurs and is continuing and
if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the
CARAT Indenture Trustee shall mail to each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder notice of
the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal or of interest on any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, the CARAT
Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders.

      SECTION 6.6 Reports by CARAT Indenture Trustee to Holders. The CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder the
information and documents set forth in Article VII, and, in addition, all such
information with respect to the

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes as may be required to enable such Holder to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns.

      SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.

            (a) The Issuer shall cause the Trust Administrator pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Pooling and Administration Agreement to pay to the CARAT
Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.
The CARAT Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Pooling and Administration
Agreement to reimburse the CARAT Indenture Trustee 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 CARAT
Indenture Trustee's agents, external counsel, accountants and experts. The
Issuer shall cause the Trust Administrator to indemnify the CARAT Indenture
Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01 of the Trust Sale and Administration
Agreement.

            (b) The Issuer's obligations to the CARAT Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this CARAT Indenture. When
the CARAT Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) 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.

      SECTION 6.8 Replacement of CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (a) The CARAT Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its
intent to resign by so notifying the Issuer; provided, however, that no such
resignation shall become effective and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall not
resign prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The Holders of a majority
in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may remove the CARAT Indenture
Trustee by so notifying the CARAT Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor
CARAT Indenture Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in
accordance with Section 6.8(c). The Issuer shall remove the CARAT Indenture
Trustee if:

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

                  (ii)  the CARAT Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or
                        insolvent;

                  (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
                        CARAT Indenture Trustee or its property; or

                  (iv)  the CARAT Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable
                        of acting.

            (b) If the CARAT Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to
resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the CARAT Indenture
Trustee for any reason (the CARAT Indenture Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring CARAT

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint and designate a successor
CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (c) A successor CARAT Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment and designation to the retiring CARAT Indenture
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
CARAT Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee under this CARAT Indenture. The successor CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders. The
retiring CARAT Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as CARAT Indenture Trustee to the successor CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (d) If a successor CARAT Indenture Trustee does not take office
within 60 days after the CARAT Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to
resign or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a
successor CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (e) If the CARAT Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section
6.11, any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the appointment
of a successor CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the CARAT Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 and the
Trust Administrator's corresponding obligations under the Trust Sale and
Administration Agreement and the Pooling and Administration Agreement shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring CARAT Indenture Trustee.

      SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (a) Any corporation into which the CARAT Indenture Trustee may be
merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger or consolidation to which the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
CARAT Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the CARAT Indenture Trustee
under this CARAT Indenture; provided, however, that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11, without the execution or filing
of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
CARAT Indenture, anything in this CARAT Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding.

            (b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or
consolidation to the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created
by this CARAT Indenture, any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the CARAT Indenture
Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee,
and deliver such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes so authenticated, and in case at that time
any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor
to the CARAT Indenture Trustee may authenticate such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes either
in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the
CARAT Indenture

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the
same full force as is provided anywhere in the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or herein
with respect to the certificate of authentication of the CARAT Indenture
Trustee.

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

            (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this CARAT Indenture, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the CARAT Trust Estate or any Vehicle may at the time be
located, the CARAT Indenture Trustee 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
CARAT Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and
for the benefit of the Secured Parties (only to the extent expressly provided
herein), such title to the CARAT Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

            (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 CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT Indenture
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 CARAT
Indenture 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 CARAT Trust Estate 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee;

                  (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

                  (iii) the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT
Indenture 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 CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this CARAT Indenture, specifically including every provision of
this CARAT Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the CARAT Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument
shall be filed with the CARAT Indenture Trustee.

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

as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

            (c) If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give written investment
directions for any funds on deposit in the Designated Accounts to the CARAT
Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City Time (or such other time as may
be agreed by the Issuer and the CARAT Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or
(ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with

2005-SN1 Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of
Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the CARAT Trust Estate are

property from the lien of this CARAT Indenture, or convey the CARAT Indenture
Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are
consistent with the provisions of this CARAT Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the CARAT Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article
VIII shall be bound to ascertain the CARAT Indenture Trustee's authority,
inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the
application of any monies.

            (b) The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes Outstanding and all sums due to the CARAT Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid and all amounts owing under each Third
Party Instrument have been paid, release any remaining portion of the CARAT
Trust Estate that secured the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes and the other Secured
Obligations from the lien of this CARAT Indenture and, where any such portion of
the CARAT Trust Estate is registered in the name of the CARAT Indenture Trustee,
re-convey such property, and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled
thereto any funds then on deposit in the Designated Accounts. The CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this CARAT Indenture
pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) only upon receipt by it of an Issuer Request and
an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA)

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit
of the Securityholders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon
the Issuer;

                  (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any

authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to
make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained.

of the provisions of, this CARAT Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights
of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders under this CARAT Indenture; provided, however,
that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder.

      SECTION 9.2 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholders.

            (a) The Issuer and the CARAT Indenture Trustee, when authorized by
an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Controlling Class, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the
CARAT Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner, or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this CARAT Indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders under this CARAT
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding CARAT 2005-SN1 Note affected
thereby:

                  (i) change the due date of any instalment of principal of or
interest on any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the
interest rate applicable thereto, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto,
change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any CARAT

requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V,
to the payment of any such amount due on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes on or after
the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date);

                  (ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for
any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this CARAT Indenture or

Indenture;

                  (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

                  (iv) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes required to direct the CARAT Indenture Trustee to sell or
liquidate the CARAT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4 if the
proceeds of such sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount of and
accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes;

                  (v) modify any provision of this Section 9.2 to decrease the
required minimum percentage necessary to approve any amendments to any
provisions of this CARAT Indenture or any of the other CARAT Basic Documents;

                  (vi) modify any of the provisions of this CARAT Indenture in
such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of
interest or principal due on any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note on any Distribution Date
(including the calculation of any of the individual components of such
calculation), or modify or alter the provisions of the CARAT Indenture regarding
the voting of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes held by the Issuer, the Seller or any
Affiliate of either of them; or

                  (vii) permit the creation of any Lien ranking prior to or on a
parity with the lien of this CARAT Indenture with respect to any part of the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
herein, terminate the lien of this CARAT Indenture on any property at any time
subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note of the security
afforded by the lien of this CARAT Indenture.

            (b) The CARAT Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine
whether or not any CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes would be affected (such that the consent
of each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder would be required) by any supplemental
indenture proposed pursuant to this Section 9.2 and any such determination shall
be binding upon the Holders of all CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, whether authenticated
and delivered thereunder before or after the date upon which such supplemental
indenture becomes effective. The CARAT Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
any such determination made in good faith.

            (c) It shall be sufficient if an Act of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders
approves the substance, but not the form, of any proposed supplemental
indenture.

            (d) Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the CARAT
Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.2,
the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall mail to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders 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
CARAT Indenture 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.

      SECTION 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created
by this CARAT Indenture, the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

authorized or permitted by this CARAT Indenture. The CARAT Indenture Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture
that affects the CARAT Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities under this CARAT Indenture or otherwise.

      SECTION 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this CARAT Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under
this CARAT Indenture of the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all
the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this CARAT Indenture for any
and all purposes.

      SECTION 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this
CARAT Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so
long as this CARAT Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

      SECTION 9.6 Reference in CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to Supplemental Indentures.
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the
CARAT Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the CARAT
Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.
If the Issuer or the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the CARAT Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the CARAT Indenture
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes of the same class.

                                   ARTICLE X
                            REDEMPTION OF CARAT NOTES

      SECTION 10.1 Redemption. The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are subject to
redemption in whole, but not in part, upon the exercise by the Seller of its
option to purchase the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes pursuant to Section 8.01 of
the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement. The date on which such redemption
shall occur is the Optional Purchase Date identified by Seller in its notice of
exercise of such purchase option (the "Redemption Date"). The purchase price for
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be equal to the applicable Redemption Price;
provided, that, the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay such amount.
The Trust Administrator or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice
of such redemption. If the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to
this Section 10.1, the Trust Administrator or the Issuer shall furnish notice
thereof to the CARAT Indenture Trustee not later than 25 days prior to the
Redemption Date and the CARAT Indenture Trustee (based on such notice) shall
withdraw from the CARAT Collection Account and deposit into the Note
Distribution Account, on the Redemption Date, the aggregate Redemption Price of
the CARAT

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

2005-SN1 Notes, whereupon all such CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be due and payable
on the Redemption Date.

      SECTION 10.2 Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption of the CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes under Section 10.1 shall be given by the CARAT Indenture Trustee
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than five days prior to
the applicable Redemption Date to each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder of record at
such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder's address appearing in the Note Register.

            (a)   All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i)   the Redemption Date;

                  (ii)  the applicable Redemption Price; and

                  (iii) the place where CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the Agency
Office of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2).

            (b) Notice of redemption of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be given
by the CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the
redemption of any other CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

      SECTION 10.3 CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes
shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2, on the
Redemption Date cease to be Outstanding for purposes of this CARAT Indenture and
shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable Redemption
Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption
Price) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for any period after
the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating
such Redemption Price.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this CARAT Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied

                  (iii) a statement that, in the judgment 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

                  (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such

the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this CARAT
Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section

Trustee 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 CARAT

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

                                      -55-
<PAGE>

                  (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the CARAT
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of

Administrative Secured Notes, proposed to be released from the lien of this
CARAT Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set
forth in the certificates required by clause (b)(iii) above and this clause
(b)(iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the CARAT 2005-SN1

the Certificate Distribution Account as and to the extent permitted or required
by the CARAT Basic Documents and (C) take any other action not inconsistent with
the TIA.

      SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to CARAT Indenture Trustee.

            (a) 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.

            (b) 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 any certificate, opinion or
representation with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion
is based is 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
Trust Administrator, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Trust Administrator,
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.

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

            (d) Whenever in this CARAT Indenture, in connection with any
application or certificate or report to the CARAT Indenture Trustee, it is
provided that the Issuer shall deliver

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence
of the Issuer's compliance with 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 CARAT Indenture Trustee's right to 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders.

            (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this CARAT Indenture to be given or taken by
CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders or a class of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Indenture 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 CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholders, as applicable, 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 CARAT Indenture and (subject
to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the CARAT Indenture Trustee and the
Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

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

            (c) The ownership of CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes (or any one or
more Predecessor CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes) shall bind the Holder of every CARAT
2005-SN1 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
CARAT Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

      SECTION 11.4 Notices, etc., to CARAT Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by
this CARAT Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

            (a) the CARAT Indenture Trustee by any CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or
by the Issuer shall be made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the
CARAT Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

            (b) the Issuer by the CARAT Indenture Trustee or any CARAT 2005-SN1
Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
either sent by electronic facsimile transmission (with hard copy to follow via
first class mail) or mailed, by certified mail, return receipt requested to the
Issuer and the CARAT Owner Trustee each at the address specified in Appendix B
to the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement.

            The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders to the CARAT Indenture Trustee. The CARAT
Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received by it
from the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders to the Issuer.

            (c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the
Issuer and the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee shall be
delivered as specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Administration
Agreement.

      SECTION 11.5 Notices to CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders; Waiver.

            (a) Where this CARAT Indenture provides for notice to the CARAT
2005-SN1 Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid to each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Person's 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. If notice to CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, and any notice that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been
duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

            (b) Where this CARAT 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders shall
be filed with the CARAT Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a
waiver.

            (c) 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 of CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders when such notice is
required to be given pursuant to any provision of this CARAT Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the CARAT Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

            (d) Where this CARAT Indenture provides for notice to the Rating
Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or
obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute
an Event of Default.

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

      SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any
provision of this CARAT Indenture or any of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes to the
contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the CARAT
Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the
methods provided for in this CARAT Indenture for such payments or notices. The
Issuer shall furnish to the CARAT Indenture Trustee a copy of each such
agreement and the CARAT Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and
notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

      SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

            (a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with
another provision hereof that is required to be included in this CARAT Indenture
by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

            (b) The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose
duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included
herein unless expressly excluded by this CARAT Indenture) are a part of and
govern this CARAT Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

      SECTION 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

      SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns.

            (a) All covenants and agreements in this CARAT Indenture and the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

            (b) All covenants and agreements of the CARAT Indenture Trustee in
this CARAT Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed
or not.

      SECTION 11.10 Severability. In case any provision in this CARAT Indenture
or in the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION 11.11 Benefits of CARAT Indenture. Nothing in this CARAT Indenture
or in the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and to the extent
expressly provided herein, the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders, the CARAT 2005-SN1
Certificateholders, any other party secured hereunder, any other Person with an
ownership interest in any part of the CARAT Trust Estate and any holder of a
Third Party Instrument, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or

            This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes of the Issuer, designated as [Class A-2a] [Class A-3a] [Class

underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the
entity or (B) the purchase, holding and disposition of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

            Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a

CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the CARAT
Owner Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or

connection therewith, against (i) the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner
Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Seller or any other owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary,
agent, officer, director or employee of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT
Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, the CARAT Owner Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee
or of any successor or assign of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner
Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be
fully liable, to the extent

            Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a

is one year and one day after the termination of the CARAT Indenture with

            Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a

            Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note, the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer or the CARAT Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other

hereof for all purposes, whether or not this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall be

Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. The CARAT Indenture also

            This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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

            No reference herein to the CARAT Indenture and no provision of this
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or of the CARAT Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Trust
Administrator, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor the CARAT Owner Trustee in their
respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or the
CARAT Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations
and indemnifications have been made by the CARAT Owner Trustee solely as the

2005-SN1 Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided
in the CARAT Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the CARAT
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 CARAT Indenture or in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

            Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a

all purposes, whether or not this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall be overdue, and
neither the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be

CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof
or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent

            The Issuer is permitted by the CARAT Indenture, under certain
circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes under the CARAT
Indenture.

            The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are issuable only in registered form in

therein set forth.

            This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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

laws.

            No reference herein to the CARAT Indenture and no provision of this

                                 REVERSE OF NOTE

            This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes of the Issuer, designated as Class A-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed
Notes (herein called the "Class A-1 Notes"), all issued under a CARAT Indenture,
dated as of April 28, 2005 (such CARAT Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is
herein called the "CARAT Indenture"), between the Issuer and CITIBANK, N.A., as
trustee (the "CARAT Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor
trustee under the CARAT Indenture), to which CARAT Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee and
the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders. The Class A-1 Notes are one of several duly

CARAT Indenture (collectively, as to all CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes of all such
classes, the "CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes"). The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are governed by
and subject to all terms of the CARAT Indenture (which terms are incorporated
herein and made a part hereof), to which CARAT Indenture the Holder of this
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note that are defined in the CARAT Indenture, as supplemented or
amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the CARAT
Indenture.

      The Class A-1 Notes and all other CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes issued pursuant to
the CARAT Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the CARAT Indenture.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent
and warrant that either (A) it is not (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as defined
in Section 3(3) of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), that is subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA, (ii) a "plan" as described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or (iii) any entity whose underlying
assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity or (B)
the purchase, holding and disposition of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Note will not result
in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the CARAT Owner
Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or under the
CARAT Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (i) the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, (ii) the Seller or any other owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director or employee of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee
in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the CARAT Owner Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee or of any
successor or assign of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent

                                     C-3-7
<PAGE>

provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such
entity.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the CARAT
Indenture such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder will not, prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the termination of the CARAT Indenture with respect
to the Issuer, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Seller or
the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner , by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, expresses its intention that this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note qualifies
under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan
single business tax, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon
gross or net income.

      Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the CARAT Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
CARAT 2005-SN1 Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as
may be specified in the CARAT Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall be overdue, and
neither the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

      The CARAT 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders under the CARAT
Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class. The CARAT Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. The CARAT Indenture also
permits the CARAT

                                     C-3-8
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the CARAT Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

      The term "Issuer" as used in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note includes any
successor to the Issuer under the CARAT Indenture.

      The Issuer is permitted by the CARAT Indenture, under certain
circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes under the CARAT
Indenture.

      The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are issuable only in registered form in
denominations as provided in the CARAT Indenture, subject to certain limitations
therein set forth.

      This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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 CARAT Indenture and no provision of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or of the CARAT Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Trust
Administrator, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor the CARAT Owner Trustee in their
respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or the
CARAT Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations
and indemnifications have been made by the CARAT Owner Trustee solely as the
CARAT Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided
in the CARAT Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the CARAT
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 CARAT Indenture or in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the CARAT Indenture.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent

director or employee of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee
in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the CARAT Owner Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee or of any
successor or assign of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent

provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT

the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner , by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, expresses its intention that this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note qualifies
under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan
single business tax, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon
gross or net income.

      Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this CARAT

all purposes, whether or not this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall be overdue, and

Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class. The CARAT Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. The CARAT Indenture also

circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes under the CARAT
Indenture.

      The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are issuable only in registered form in
denominations as provided in the CARAT Indenture, subject to certain limitations
therein set forth.

      This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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 CARAT Indenture and no provision of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or of the CARAT Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Trust
Administrator, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor the CARAT Owner Trustee in their
respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or the
CARAT Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations
and indemnifications have been made by the CARAT Owner Trustee solely as the

2005-SN1 Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided
in the CARAT Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the CARAT
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 CARAT Indenture or in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

      The Class A-1 Notes and all other CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes issued pursuant to
the CARAT Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the CARAT Indenture.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent

ERISA, (ii) a "plan" as described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue

indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the CARAT Owner
Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee on the CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes or under the
CARAT Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (i) the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee in

interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director or employee of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee
in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the CARAT Owner Trustee or the CARAT Indenture Trustee or of any
successor or assign of the CARAT Indenture Trustee or the CARAT Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent

provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such
entity.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the CARAT
Indenture such CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder will not, prior to the date which is

the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner , by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note, expresses its intention that this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note qualifies
under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the CARAT
2005-SN1 Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of

all purposes, whether or not this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note shall be overdue, and
neither the Issuer, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be

obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholders under
the CARAT Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of

Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the
CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. The CARAT Indenture also

      The Issuer is permitted by the CARAT Indenture, under certain
circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the CARAT
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes under the CARAT
Indenture.

      The CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes are issuable only in registered form in

      This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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 CARAT Indenture and no provision of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or of the CARAT Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Trust
Administrator, the CARAT Indenture Trustee nor the CARAT Owner Trustee in their
respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,

interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants,

Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any
deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained

assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings
contained in the CARAT Indenture or in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

      Each CARAT 2005-SN1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a CARAT

CARAT 2005-SN1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions
of the CARAT Indenture and certain past defaults under the CARAT Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note
and of any CARAT 2005-SN1 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note. The CARAT Indenture also

      This CARAT 2005-SN1 Note and the CARAT 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 CARAT Indenture and no provision of this CARAT
2005-SN1 Note or of the CARAT Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency herein prescribed.

      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly

Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall 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 CARAT 2005-SN1 Note or the

in the CARAT Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the CARAT
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 CARAT Indenture or in this CARAT 2005-SN1 Note.

certification is an Annex:

1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a person
fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the entity
purchasing the Transferred Certificates (the "Transferee") or, if the Transferee
is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144A"), because the Transferee is
part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an executive
officer of the investment adviser (the "Adviser").

2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A
because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the

Transferee alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in

of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the
amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of
Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used, unless the
Transferee or any member of the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as
the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on
the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the
cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of

3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or more
registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
investment adviser or I investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee's
Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities
owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency,

                                     D-2-6

interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate
amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the
Transferee, or owned by the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the
securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.

5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to
which this certification is being made are relying and will continue to rely on
the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee will be
in reliance on Rule 144A.

____     ____     Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Notes
Yes      No       only for the Transferee's own account?

6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each case where the
Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs
to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer" status of such
third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the
appropriate methods contemplated by Rule l44A.

7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made
of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the
Transferee's purchase of the Transferred Notes will constitute a reaffirmation
of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase.
