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

Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate
executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Responsible Officer thereof as to

Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more

          At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other
Notes in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate

the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the
Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Agents Medallion Program ("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program"
as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by
such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any sale or other
transfer of a Definitive Note, the transferor of such Definitive Note shall be
required to represent and warrant in writing that the prospective transferee

the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")),
which is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined

receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if

after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or
stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected
purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the
Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from
such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such
Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the
security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost
or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection
therewith.

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

          Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at

                                       17
<PAGE>

Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the

          (iv)   the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the
     Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
     agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the

     Participants;

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

     Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with

          SECTION 2.11  Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
                        --------------------------
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section

specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and
shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

          SECTION 2.12  Definitive Notes. If (i) the Servicer advises the
                        ----------------
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 Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Servicer at its
option advises the 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, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating
at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes advise the Indenture
Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book
entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of
the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the
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
Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive
Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.

                                   Covenants
                                   ---------

          SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly
                      ---------------------------------
and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with
the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the

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

          SECTION 3.3  Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. On or before each
                       --------------------------------------

held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the
Note Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

          (i)   hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
     respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
     thereto until such sums shall be paid

                                       21
<PAGE>

     to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such
     sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

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

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

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

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

          Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any
money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from
such trust and be paid to the Certificateholder on Issuer Request; and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Cerificateholder for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the
amounts so paid to the Certificateholder), and all liability of the Indenture
Trustee or such Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Note
                 --------  -------
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the
expense and request 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 New York, New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Certificateholder.  The Indenture Trustee
shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and request of the Issuer, any other
reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited
to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but
have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys
due and payable but not claimed is

                                       22

                       ---------
provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,

in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

          SECTION 3.5  Protection of Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee hereby
                       --------------------------
authorizes the Issuer to take all actions necessary to create and maintain a
first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust
Estate. The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this
Indenture in favor of the Holders of the Notes, to be prior to all other liens
in respect of the Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary
to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected
security interest in the Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time prepare
(or shall cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such supplements and
amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements,
instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other
action necessary or advisable to:

          (i)    Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust Estate;

          (ii)   maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the
     priority thereof) in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the

     effectively the purposes hereof;

          (iii)  perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant
     made or to be made by this Indenture;

          (iv)   enforce any of the Collateral;

     Estate when due.

fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other
instrument required by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section.

          (a)  The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
     not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any
     Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under
     any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would
     result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
     discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such

     or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Basic Documents or such
     other instrument or agreement.

          (b)  The Issuer may contract with other Persons acceptable to the
     Indenture Trustee to assist it in performing its duties under this
     Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the

     to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with
     the Servicer to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this
     Indenture.

          (c)  The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
     obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents

its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to
the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to
remedy such failure.

          (e)  The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or

Basic Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect the Holders of the
Notes.

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the 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 Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee except as a result of negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct.

     the Holders of the Notes; and

          (iv)   direct the Indenture Trustee to sell the 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;
     provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or, otherwise
     --------  -------
     liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless

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

                         (II)  either

                               (x)   the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding
                         Amount of the Notes consent thereto, or

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

                                       35
<PAGE>

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

          In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to
clause (y) and (z), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and
conclusively rely upon a report of an Independent investment banking or
accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose (a
"Verification Report").  The Declaring Noteholders may direct the Indenture to
commission such a report, or may themselves commission such a report.

          SECTION 5.5  Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes
                       ----------------------------------------
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, if so directed by the Declaring
Noteholders, or if the conditions to a sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 5.4 have not been satisfied, maintain possession of the Trust Estate.

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

          (a)  Following the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2
or the occurrence of an Event of Default, any money or property collected
pursuant to Section 5.4, but net of any amounts applied to the costs of the
Indenture Trustee or of the Noteholders relating to the Event of Default and the
remedies in connection therewith, shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee on
the related Payment Date in the following order of priority:

          First:  amounts due and owing and required to be distributed to the
          -----
     Servicer (provided there is no Servicer Default), the Owner Trustee and the
     Indenture Trustee, respectively, and not previously distributed without
     preference or priority of any kind within such priority;

          Second: to accrued and unpaid interest on, and to the reduction of,
          -------
     the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2
     Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, concurrently and in
     proportion to their then outstanding Note Principal Balances, rather than
     sequentially as provided in Section 5.4(b)(i) through (iv) of the Sale and
     Servicing Agreement.  Once the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all
     Class A Notes has been reduced to zero, the amount on deposit in the Note
     Account shall be applied to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on,
     and the payment of the Note Principal Balance of the Class B Notes as
     provided in Section 5.4(b)(v) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

          Third:  to the Certificateholders, any remainder.
          -----

          (b)  The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.6. At least 15 days before
such record date

                                       36
<PAGE>

the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that
states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          SECTION 5.9  Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any Noteholder has
                       ----------------------------------
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has
been determined adversely

                                       37
<PAGE>

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

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

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

          SECTION 5.12  Control by Noteholders. Declaring Noteholders, with
                        ----------------------
respect to the related Events of Default, shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to
the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that

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

          (ii)   subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to
     the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the
     Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of
     the Notes;

          (iii)  if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied
     and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to
     such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders
     representing less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to
     sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

          (iv)   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 Article VI, the Indenture Trustee need not
--------  -------
take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might
materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such
action.  The Noteholders may, but need not, base their directions to the
Indenture Trustee on a Verification Report commissioned pursuant to Section 5.5.

                                       38
<PAGE>

          SECTION 5.13  Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
                        -----------------------
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, Declaring
Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes
or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

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

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

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

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

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

          (a)  Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so
and at the Servicer's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action
as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under
or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the
manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices
of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or
secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (b)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the Holders of 66-2/3%
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, subject to Article VI, exercise
all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the
Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure
performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their
obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

          SECTION 5.18  Application of the Trust Indenture Act. Pursuant to
                        --------------------------------------
Section 316(a) and Section 316(b) of the TIA, all provisions automatically
provided for in Section 316(a) and Section 316(b) are hereby expressly excluded.


                                  ARTICLE VI

                             The Indenture Trustee

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

          (a)  The Indenture Trustee, both prior to and after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, shall undertake to perform such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
shall not have been cured, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man or woman would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

          (b)  The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall
examine them to determine whether they conform as to form to the requirements of
this Indenture.

                                       40
<PAGE>

               (c)  No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve
the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith; provided, however, that:

               (i)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after
     the curing of all such Event of Defaults that may have occurred, the duties
     and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the
     express provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be
     liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as shall
     be specifically set forth in this Indenture, no implied covenants or
     obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee
     and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, or
     manifest error, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the truth of
     the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any
     certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming
     to the requirements of this Indenture;

               (ii)   the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for an error of
     judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be
     proved that the Indenture Trustee shall have been negligent in ascertaining
     the pertinent facts;

               (iii)  the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
     any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken in good faith in
     accordance with this Indenture or at the direction of the Declaring
     Noteholders relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any
     proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising
     any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this
     Indenture;

               (iv)   the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
     of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the
     Servicer referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(a) of the Sale
     and Servicing Agreement, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
     Trustee has actual knowledge or receives written notice of such failure (it
     being understood that knowledge of the Servicer or the Servicer as
     custodian, in its capacity as agent for the Indenture Trustee, is not
     attributable to the Indenture Trustee) from the Servicer or the Holders of
     Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Principal Balance; and

               (v)    without limiting the generality of this Section or Section
     6.2, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording,
     filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein
     or any financing statement evidencing a security interest in the
     Receivables or the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any
     such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or
     redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed
     Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to
     see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other
     governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with
     respect to, or assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust, (iv) to
     confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the
     Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture
     believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or
     presented by the proper party or parties, or (v) to inspect the Financed
     Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to

                                       41
<PAGE>

     the performance or observance of any of the Seller's or the Servicer's
     representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and
     obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Receivable Files under this
     Indenture.

               (d)  The Indenture Trustee shall not be required 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 there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be
reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture
shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under
this Indenture except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall
be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers, and
privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

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

               (f)  The Indenture Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will,
perform all of the obligations and duties required of it under this Indenture.
In no event shall U.S. Bank National Association, in any of its capacities
hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the
Delaware Business Trust Statute, common law, or the Trust Agreement.

               (g)  U.S. Bank National Association by its execution hereof
accepts its appointment as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the
Noteholders delivered pursuant to the Indenture promptly following receipt of
such written instructions; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not act in
accordance with any instructions (i) which are not authorized by, or in
violation of the provisions of this Indenture, (ii) which are in violation of
any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Indenture Trustee
has not received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Receipt of such
instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee
of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the
Indenture Trustee is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such
instructions.

               SECTION 6.2  Rights of Indenture Trustee.
                            ---------------------------

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

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

               (c)  The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence

                                       42
<PAGE>

on the part of, or for the supervision of, Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., or any
other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it
hereunder.

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

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

               (f)  The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation
to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have
offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an
--------  -------
Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill and shall remain
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(d).

               (g)  The 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, consent, order,
approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount thereof;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture
--------  -------
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability
as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the
Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon
demand.

               (h)  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on
investments except for losses resulting from the failure of the Indenture
Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in
accordance hereunder. If the Indenture Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or

shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar.

               (i)  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.17 hereof, the
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it shall not disclose any information with

               SECTION 6.3  Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The
                            --------------------------------------
Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note
Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-Note Paying Agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections
6.11 and 6.12.

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

               SECTION 6.5  Notice of Defaults.  If an Event of Default occurs
                            ------------------
and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the
existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event
of Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the
case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note
(including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such
Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of two or more of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

               SECTION 6.6  Reports by Trustee to Holders.  The Indenture Trust
                            -----------------------------
shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required
to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

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

               (a)  Pursuant to Section 5.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the
Indenture Trustee from time to time compensation for its services. The 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 Servicer to reimburse
the 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 Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the
Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any
and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee
shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may
seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the
Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the
Servicer of its obligations under Article X of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to defend the claim. The Indenture Trustee
may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the

                                       44
<PAGE>

Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

               (b)  The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the
earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic
Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but
not the Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic
Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not
be recourse to the assets of the Certificateholder or any Noteholder. In
addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the
Trust Estate and the Seller shall be limited to the right to receive the
distributions referred to in Section 5.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               SECTION 6.8  Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture
                            --------------------------------
Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Servicer. The
Issuer or the Servicer may remove the Indenture Trustee, if:

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

               (ii)   a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of
     the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or
     state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
     other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
     law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator,
     sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any
     substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property, or ordering the
     winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee's affairs;

               (iii)  an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as
     now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state
     bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the
     Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

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

               (v)    the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
     acting.

                                       45

               If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee
in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

               (c)  If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within
60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount
of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

               (e)  Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by
the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and payment of all
fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.

               (f)  Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's obligations under
Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

               SECTION 6.9  Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.  If the
                            -------------------------------------
Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another
corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Servicer and the Rating Agencies prior
written notice of any such transaction.

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

                                       46
<PAGE>

in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is
anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the
Indenture Trustee shall have.

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

               (a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the 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 Trust, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title
to the Trust, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the 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
Indenture Trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.8 hereof.

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

               (i)    all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
     imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
     exercised or performed by the 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 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 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 Trust or any portion thereof in any
     such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
     trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture
     Trustee;

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

               (iii)  the 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 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 Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording

                                       47
<PAGE>

protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.

               (d)  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the 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 respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies
and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the
extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Indenture
Trustee.

               (e)  Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of the
co-trustee or separate trustee will be borne by the Trust Estate.

the Indenture Trustee shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i)
which are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this
Indenture and the other Basic Documents, (ii) which are in violation of any

party in accordance with this Indenture. Except as expressly provided herein,
Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any discretionary actions

               SECTION 6.15  Limitation on Liability.  Neither the Indenture
                             -----------------------
Trustee nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection
herewith, except that the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for its negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible
for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against

the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes 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

Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer exercises its
option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to said Section 11.1(a), for a

interest thereon. If amounts are to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this
Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable,
furnish notice of such event to the Indenture Trustee not later than 10 days
prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the

          (iii)  that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption
     Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon
     presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are

          Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the 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 Note shall not impair or
affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

          SECTION 10.3   Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be
                         --------------------------------
redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2 (in
the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)), on the Redemption Date
become due and payable at the Optional Purchase Price and (unless the Issuer
shall default in the payment of the Optional Purchase Price) no interest shall
accrue on the Optional Purchase Price for any period after the date to which
accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Optional Purchase
Price.

     furnish to the Indenture 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 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 Indenture in
     contravention of the provisions hereof.

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

          (iv)   Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
     Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose
     of Receivables as and to the

                                       58
<PAGE>

     extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash
     payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by
     the Basic Documents.

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

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

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

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

          (a)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the 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

                                       59
<PAGE>

sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and
the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

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

          (a)  The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by
overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall
be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, or

          (b)  The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by
overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall
deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: Chevy
Chase Auto Receivables Trust 2001-2, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney
Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Structured Finance, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by Issuer. The
Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to
the Indenture Trustee.

          Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return
receipt requested to (i) in the case of Moody's, at the following address:
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, Attention: ABS Monitoring
Group, (4th Floor), New York, New York 10007, (ii) in the case of S&P, at the
following address: Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, New
York, New York 10041, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department, and
(iii) in the case of Fitch at the following address: One State Street Plaza, New
York, NY 10004; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall
be designated by written notice to the other parties.

          SECTION 11.5   Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
                         ------------------------------
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless

                                       60
<PAGE>

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

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

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

          Where this 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 a Default or
Event of Default.

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

          SECTION 11.7  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
                        ---------------------------------
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

          The provisions of TIA (S)(S) 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this 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. All covenants and agreements in
                        ----------------------
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors.

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

          SECTION 11.11  Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
                         ---------------------
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.

          SECTION 11.12  Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
                         --------------
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date an which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

          SECTION 11.13  GOVERNING LAW. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IN ACCORDANCE
                         -------------
WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

          SECTION 11.14  Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
                         ------------
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

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

Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for

                                       62

Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits

          SECTION 11.16  No Petition. The Indenture Trustee by entering into
                         -----------
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Seller, or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller, or the Issuer of, any

                               [REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-1 2.77313% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"Class A-1 Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2001
(such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee
(the "Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes (together, the "Notes") are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as
provided in the Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth
day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, commencing October 15, 2001. The term "Payment Date,"
shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and
the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Declaring
Noteholders, has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on
the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled
thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of
the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any
one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as
provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining

                                     A-1-5
<PAGE>

unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by
notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the
Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul,
Minnesota.

          The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

          As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but
not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the
date on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 5%
of the aggregate Initial Note Principal Balance.

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

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Seller,
the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee

(it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no
such obligations in their individual capacity).

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

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

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

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

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

                                     A-2-5

                               [REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-3 3.80% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class
A-3 Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the
"Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes (together, the "Notes") are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as
provided in the Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth
day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, commencing October 15, 2001.  The term "Payment Date,"
shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and
the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Declaring
Noteholders, has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-3 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on
the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee.  Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled
thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of
the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any
one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as
provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining

                                     A-3-5
<PAGE>

unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by
notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the
Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul,
Minnesota.

          The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-3 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

          As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but
not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the
date on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 5%
of the aggregate Initial Note Principal Balance.

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

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Seller,
the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
(it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no
such obligations in their individual capacity).

                                     A-3-6
<PAGE>

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees to treat
such Note as indebtedness for all applicable federal income, state and local
income and franchise and any other income tax reporting purposes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-4 4.44% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class
A-4 Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the
"Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes (together, the "Notes") are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as
provided in the Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-4 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth
day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, commencing October 15, 2001.  The term "Payment Date,"
shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and
the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Declaring
Noteholders, has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class A-4 Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-4 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on
the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee.  Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled
thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of
the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any
one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as
provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining

                                     A-4-5

                               [REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class B 5.16% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class B
Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the
"Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes (together, the "Notes") are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as
provided in the Indenture.

          Principal of the Class B Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in
an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth day
of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing October 15, 2001.  The term "Payment Date," shall be
deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and
the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Declaring
Noteholders, has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture.  The Controlling Class will have the right
under most circumstances to accelerate the Notes, or waive an Event of Default,
as well as direct remedies following an Event of Default.  All principal
payments on the Class B Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class B Noteholders
entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on
the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled
thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of
the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any
one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are

                                     A-5-5
<PAGE>

expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of
the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then
the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify
the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such
Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due
and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of
the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul,
Minnesota.

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

          As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but
not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the
date on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 5%
of the aggregate Initial Note Principal Balance.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or

Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor
institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements
include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program ("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be
determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but
the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,

owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Seller,
the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
(it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no
such obligations in their individual capacity).

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees to treat

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the

registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders under the Indenture.
