Promissory Note.

2.4.     INTEREST.


         (a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender interest on the unpaid principal

         (b) If Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest or other Obligation due
and owing to Lender under this Agreement or the Promissory Note, and such
failure to pay shall constitute an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to
Lender on demand such principal, interest or other Obligation together with
interest on such principal, interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
or other Obligation in default from and including the date such payment became
due until payment thereof in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate

         (c) If, by the terms of this Agreement or the Promissory Note, Borrower
at any time is required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest shall be deemed
to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the portion of all prior
interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be
deemed to have been payments made in reduction of the principal amount due
hereunder and under the Promissory Note.

         (d) All interest payable hereunder shall be computed based on the
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

2.5. REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN. Subject to Section 8, (a) the Loan shall be repaid

2.7.     PAYMENT PROCEDURES.


         (a) Borrower agrees and acknowledges that Borrower will, immediately
upon an Event of Default or an Other RF Event of Default (i) re-register any
securities (other than the Certificate) delivered as Collateral hereunder into
Lender's name and (ii) subject to Section 3.7 of the Trust Agreement, upon the
request of Lender, re-register the Certificate in the name of a Bankruptcy
Remote Entity designated by Lender.

         (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower will provide Trust
Collateral Agent under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with a notice providing
for, among other things, all remittances on the Certificate to be paid to Lender
to the full extent of Borrower's Obligations to Lender hereunder and Borrower's
Other RF Obligations to Lender under the Other Residual Financing Agreements,
which notice to Trust Collateral Agent will be irrevocable for so long as any of
the Obligations or Other RF Obligations remain outstanding (unless otherwise
consented to in writing by Lender). All amounts received in respect of the
Certificate or other Collateral will be applied as set forth in Section 3.15.
Any amounts received by Lender in excess of the Obligations and Other RF
Obligations due and owing to Lender shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower. Any
amounts received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) prior to 6:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to be received on such
Business Day, and any amounts received by Lender after 6:00 p.m., New York City
time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding
Business Day.

         (c) All payments to Lender hereunder or under the Promissory Note shall
be made in immediately available funds, and free and clear of and without
deduction for any taxes, levies, duties, charges, counterclaims, set-offs, fees
or withholdings of any nature hereafter imposed, assessed or collected, not
later than the due date for such payment through the Federal Reserve Fedwire
System for credit to the account of Lender (Account No. 140095961 at The Chase
Manhattan Bank, ABA No. 021000021, or such other account or accounts as Lender
shall specify to Borrower in writing no later than one Business Day prior to the
related due date).

         (d) Any payments made hereunder shall be applied first against costs
and expenses due hereunder pursuant to Section 9.1; then against default
interest, if any; then against interest due on the Loan; and thereafter against
the unpaid principal of the Loan.

2.8. INDEMNITY. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold it harmless from
any cost, loss or expense which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
any acceleration of the maturity of the Loan by Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any cost, loss or
expense arising in liquidating the Loan and from interest or fees payable by
Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Loan
hereunder. In the event Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to
this Section 2.8, Lender shall provide to Borrower in writing the basis upon
which such charges were calculated in reasonable detail.



                                       13
<PAGE>


2.9. ILLEGALITY; SUBSTITUTED INTEREST RATE. Notwithstanding any other provisions
herein, (a) if any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain the
Loan at LIBOR as contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) in the event that Lender
shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR interbank market
either adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, (x)
the obligation of Lender to make or maintain the Loan at LIBOR shall forthwith
be suspended and Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (by telephone
confirmed in writing) and (y) the Loan shall, from and including the next
Remittance Date, or at such earlier date as may be required by law, until
payment in full thereof, bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Prime Rate and the rate of interest (including the Margin) in
effect on the date immediately preceding the date any event described in clause
(a) or (b) occurred (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days). If any such conversion of LIBOR to the Prime
Rate is made on a day which is not a Remittance Date, Borrower shall pay to
Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required to compensate Lender for any
cost, loss or expense which Lender may incur as a consequence of such conversion
on a day which is not a Remittance Date, including any interest or fees payable
by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Loan. If
subsequent to such suspension of the obligation of Lender to make or maintain
the Loan at LIBOR it becomes lawful for Lender to make or maintain the Loan at
LIBOR, or the circumstances described in clause (b) above no longer exist,
Lender shall so notify Borrower and the LIBOR-based rate on the Loan shall be
reinstated effective as of the date it becomes lawful for Lender to make or
maintain the Loan at LIBOR, or the circumstances described in clause (b) above
no longer exist.

2.10. LIMITED RECOURSE. The Obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be limited
in recourse to the property and assets of Borrower which Borrower pledges on the
date hereof, or may hereinafter from time to time pledge, as Collateral pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement (the "RECOURSE PROPERTY"). To the extent that the
Recourse Property is insufficient to satisfy the Obligations of Borrower
hereunder, Lender shall have no claim against Borrower or any property or assets
of Borrower that are not on the date hereof or have not been, as of the
applicable date, so pledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the
Obligations of Guarantor hereunder and under the Guarantee shall be fully
recourse to Guarantor and all property and assets of Guarantor, whether now
owned or hereinafter acquired, and Guarantor shall remain liable for all
Obligations of Borrower hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee.

3. Grant of Security Interest; Eligible Collateral.

3.1. VALID SECURITY INTEREST. As security for the prompt and complete payment
when due (whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Obligations, Other RF Obligations and Warehouse Obligations, Borrower hereby
pledges, assigns and transfers to Lender and its successors, endorsees,
transferees and assigns and hereby grants to Lender and its successors,
endorsees, transferees and assigns a continuing, first priority security
interest in all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the following
property, whether now owned by Borrower or hereafter acquired and whether now
existing or hereafter coming into existence (all being collectively referred to

         (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any
officer or agent of Lender with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary to accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement.

         (b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, from time to time if an Event of
Default or Other RF Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to
execute and/or file and record, in connection with any sale provided for herein,
any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral.

3.5. NO DUTY ON THE PART OF LENDER. The powers conferred on Lender under this
Agreement are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, affiliates, agents or successors shall be responsible to Borrower for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

3.6. PERFORMANCE BY LENDER OF BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. If Borrower fails to
perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Lender, as
provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreements, the reasonable
expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the default rate
applicable to the Loan as set forth in this Agreement, shall be payable by
Borrower to Lender on demand, and Borrower's obligations to make such payments
shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.

3.7. LIMITATION ON DUTIES REGARDING PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL. Lender's sole
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise,
shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar
property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers,
employees, affiliates or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect
or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so
or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of Borrower or any other Person.

3.8. POWERS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST. All authorizations and agencies herein
contained with respect to the Collateral are powers coupled with an interest and
are irrevocable until the termination of the security interest created by this
Agreement in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof.

3.9. TERMINATION. The security interest created by this Agreement shall not be
released until the payment in full of the Obligations and Other RF Obligations
shall have occurred; PROVIDED that if any payment, or any part thereof, of any
of the Obligations or Other RF Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor, or upon or as a result
of the



                                       16
<PAGE>


appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or a trustee or similar
officer for, Borrower or Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, this Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby
shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as though such payments had
not been made.

3.10. SEGREGATION OF FUNDS. All payments which are received by Borrower or
Guarantor in connection with the Collateral contrary to any provision of this
Agreement, the Guarantee or the Basic Documents shall be held by Borrower or
Guarantor, as the case may be, in trust for Lender, segregated from all other
funds of Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall forthwith upon
receipt by Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, be turned over to Lender
in the exact form received by Borrower or Guarantor, respectively (duly endorsed
by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender, if required), to be applied to the
Obligations and Other RF Obligations.

3.11. THE SPREAD ACCOUNT. Lender acknowledges that pursuant to the Spread
Account Agreement, Borrower, as holder of the Certificate, has pledged and
created a security interest in certain funds and property in the account
designated in the Spread Account Agreement as the "Series 2000-2 Spread
Account." Lender acknowledges that the pledge and grant of the security interest
created herein in no way impairs or affects Borrower's pledge of such funds and
property.

3.12.    ADVANCE RATE MAINTENANCE; RELEASE OF EXCESS COLLATERAL.


         (a) Lender shall determine the Present Value of the Collateral and the
Advance Rate monthly within five Business Days following each Remittance Date
based upon the Valuation Rates as modified by the Valuation Model (each such
date of determination, a "CALCULATION DATE").

         (b) After the first Calculation Date on which the Advance Rate exceeds
the Maintenance Advance Rate, in the event that as of any Calculation Date
(after such first Calculation Date) the Advance Rate exceeds the Maintenance
Advance Rate, (i) Borrower shall, within one Business Day of such Calculation
Date, pay down the Loan or pledge additional Collateral (and comply with the
provisions of Section 8.2(b)(ii) in respect thereof) in the amount necessary to
cause the Advance Rate not to exceed the Maintenance Advance Rate and (ii) until
such time as the Advance Rate equals or is less than the Maintenance Advance
Rate, all funds received by Borrower in respect of and Proceeds of all
Collateral shall be remitted by Borrower to Lender and applied in the manner set
forth in Section 2.7(c).

         (c) After the first Calculation Date on which the Advance Rate exceeds
the Maintenance Advance Rate, in the event that at the determination of the
Advance Rate as contemplated in Section 3.12(a) (after such first Calculation
Date) the Advance Rate is less than the Target Advance Rate by an amount such
that, after giving effect to a release of a Pledged Security (such released
security, a "DESIGNATED SECURITY") as Collateral hereunder, the Advance Rate
would continue to be less than the Target Advance Rate, Borrower may request
(subject to the conditions set forth in the next sentence) that Lender release
such Designated Security to Borrower. So long as no Event of Default or Other RF
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Additional
Collateral Release Condition is satisfied, Lender will release and deliver such
Designated Security to Borrower within five (5) Business Days


                                       17
<PAGE>


following such request, unless Lender reasonably determines that, after giving
effect to such release, the Advance Rate would no longer continue to be less
than the Target Advance Rate.

3.13. VALUATION MODEL. Lender hereby agrees to provide to Borrower a copy of its
Valuation Model on or before the Closing Date. In connection with Lender's
provision of the Valuation Model to Borrower, Borrower, Guarantor and Lender
each expressly acknowledge and agree as follows:

         (a) Lender shall be entitled, in the case of any manifest error or
manifest inaccuracy contained in the Valuation Model, to revise or modify the
Valuation Model to correct any such error or inaccuracy and shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable, provide to Borrower a copy of such Valuation Model as so
revised or modified. Following the provision of such revised or modified
Valuation Model to Borrower, all calculations of the Present Value of the
Collateral and all related calculations shall be made on all subsequent
Calculation Dates in accordance with such Valuation Model as so revised or
modified.

         (b) Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledge and agree that the
Valuation Model is proprietary to Lender, and that the Valuation Model shall not
be used by Borrower or Guarantor, or any of their respective affiliates,
subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents or employees, as applicable
(collectively, the "AMC GROUP"), for any purpose other than determining the
Present Value of the Collateral and making relating calculations in connection
therewith, and shall at all times be maintained by each member of the AMC Group
as confidential.

         (c) Borrower and Guarantor further acknowledge and agree that Lender is
furnishing the Valuation Model to Borrower solely as an accommodation in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lender makes no
representation or warranty (whether express or implied, oral or written) as to
the accuracy or completeness, or fitness for a particular use, of the Valuation
Model, and assumes no responsibility whatsoever to any member of the AMC Group
in connection with any use of such Valuation Model and, consequently, no member
of the AMC Group is relying upon Lender or the Valuation Model in such regard.

         (d) In consideration of Lender's providing the Valuation Model to
Borrower, for which Lender is not receiving any compensation, each member of the
AMC Group hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges Lender
and its respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees and
representatives from, and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse any
such party or parties with respect to, any and all actions, liabilities, losses,
damages or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses), as incurred, that may be
imposed on or incurred by or asserted against any such party or parties in any
way relating to or arising out of Lender's release of such Valuation Model to
Borrower.

time by (i) written notice from Lender to Borrower of any such amendment or
supplement or (ii) delivery by Lender to Borrower of a copy of Exhibit G as so

Agreement and the Security Agreement, EXHIBIT G hereto will be deemed to be
designated as "SCHEDULE G."

Section 2.5(b) or Section 2.7(b) hereof, as applicable, in respect of amounts
distributable to the Certificateholder under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the Spread Account Agreement, (a) if a GCFP Trigger Event shall not have
occurred and be continuing, Lender shall apply such distribution in the
following manner and order of priority: FIRST, 100% of such distribution shall
be applied by Lender to reduce to zero all Obligations and Other RF Obligations,
as applicable, under each Crossed Residual Financing Agreement pursuant to the
Crossed Paydown Method, and SECOND, the remainder of such distribution shall be
applied by Lender to reduce to zero any outstanding Other RF Obligations, or (b)
if a GCFP Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Crossed
Residual Financing Agreement, Lender shall apply such distribution in the
following manner and order of priority: FIRST, 100% of such distribution shall
be applied to reduce to zero all Obligations or Other RF Obligations, as
applicable, arising under such Crossed Residual Financing Agreement and, second,
if such GCFP Trigger Event has an adverse affect on any other Crossed Residual
Financing Agreement, the remaining amount of such distribution, if any, shall be
applied to reduce to zero all Obligations and Other RF Obligations, as
applicable, arising under such other Crossed Residual Financing Agreements
pursuant to the Crossed Payment Method.

3.16. EXHIBIT J. Exhibit J hereto may be amended or supplemented from time to
time by (i) written notice from Lender to Borrower of any such amendment or
supplement or (ii) delivery by Lender to Borrower of a copy of Exhibit J as so

Reinsured Series, the spread account relating to which is crossed, pursuant to
the related Spread Account Agreement or any other spread account agreement
relating thereto, with the spread account of one or more of the Crossed Residual
Financing Agreements listed on Exhibit J, whether at present so listed or
hereafter added to Exhibit J. In addition, if Lender delivers changes to Exhibit
J to any Other Residual Financing Agreement as provided therein, Exhibit J
hereto shall automatically and without further action be amended by such
changes; PROVIDED that such change relates to one or more credit and security
agreements or other similar agreements among Lender, Borrower and Guarantor.

         (a) Each of Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly give notice to Lender
and the Note Insurer of the occurrence of (i) any Default, Event of Default or
Other RF Event of Default, specifying the event and the action which Borrower

prospects. Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees to provide contemporaneously to
AMC a copy of any notice provided to Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence;
PROVIDED that failure of Borrower or Guarantor to deliver such notice to AMC

in appropriate proceedings its obligation to pay such taxes or charges, adequate
reserves having been set aside for the payment thereof, or (b) with respect to
such taxes and charges which are not material in either nature or amount such
that any failure to pay or discharge them, and any resulting penalties, either
in any one instance or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely
affect the financial condition, operations, business or prospects of Borrower or
Guarantor, respectively.

and records and accounts in order to maintain a separate and distinct corporate

operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
Borrower or Guarantor and each such subsidiary or any of the Collateral with the
officers and independent public accountants thereof and as often as Lender may

employees, stockholders, or affiliates in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate.
Other than the indebtedness under this Agreement and the Promissory Note,
neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall incur any long term or working capital

Agreement, in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to the reasonable
requirements of, Borrower's and Guarantor's business and upon fair and
reasonable terms (which Borrower agrees to discuss with Lender from time to time
upon Lender's request) which are not materially less favorable than would be
obtained in a comparable arm's length transaction with a person or entity not an
affiliate or stockholder of Borrower or Guarantor.

other Obligations payable hereunder and under the Promissory Note by Borrower
then due and payable that would otherwise be due after the date specified in the
notice (or the date such notice is deemed given), whereupon all those amounts
shall become immediately due and payable, all without further diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived by Borrower. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Code, and, to the extent permitted by law, all other rights and remedies
granted to Lender in this Agreement, the Guarantee and the AMC Guarantee and in
any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of
Default or Other RF Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Lender may
sell the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner as determined by Lender
(subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust Agreement), instituting suit
in equity or instituting other appropriate proceedings, whether for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction against a
violation of any of the terms hereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted hereby or by law. If Lender opts to sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral as one of its remedies upon an Event of Default or Other RF Event of
Default, Borrower (subject to Section 2.10) and Guarantor shall remain liable
for any remaining deficiency upon applying the proceeds of such sale or other
disposition against any and all Obligations and Other RF Obligations, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys
employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.

         (b) Without limitation to any of the provisions or remedies set forth
in Section 8.2(a), if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower may, with the consent of Lender in Lender's sole
discretion, (i) make a principal payment on the Loan in such amount as Lender
shall specify or (ii) pledge additional Collateral having such value, as
determined by Lender in its sole discretion, as Lender shall specify. If Lender
consents to Borrower's taking such action as is described in this Section 8.2(b)
upon an Event of Default, Borrower (subject to Section 2.10) and Guarantor shall
remain liable for any remaining deficiency between the amount of the Obligations
and the amount of the principal payment or pledge of additional Collateral made
pursuant hereto, and under no circumstances shall Lender's consent to such
action be construed as a waiver of such deficiency or a modification of the
Obligations.

         (c) In the event that Borrower shall hereinafter pledge any Collateral
in addition to the Collateral pledged to Lender on the date hereof, Borrower
shall, concurrently with such pledge, deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender regarding priority,
perfection and the absence of Liens in respect of such Collateral.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.5 to the contrary, it is
expressly understood and agreed that Lender shall have sole discretion in
determining whether to enforce the covenants set forth in Section 6.5 or
immediately to pursue the remedies set forth in this Section 8.2 upon the
occurrence of a material adverse change as described in Section 8.1(n). Under no
circumstances shall Lender's decision to enforce the covenants set forth in
Section 6.5 following such a material adverse change be construed as a waiver of
the Event of Default described in Section 8.1(n), or otherwise in any way
modify, limit, delay or impair any rights which Lender would otherwise have
pursuant to this Section 8.2.

         (e) Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Guarantor and AMC
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; PROVIDED that the omission so to
notify shall not relieve Guarantor or AMC from any liability which it may have
to Lender (or extend the period of time within which performance is required by
Guarantor or AMC) in connection with such Event of Default or from any of its
respective obligations under the Guarantee or the AMC Guarantee, as the case may
be.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, INDEMNITY, ETC. Each of Borrower and Guarantor jointly
and severally agree to:


         (i) pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation and execution of, and any amendment, modification or supplement to,
or any waiver under, this Agreement or the Guarantee and any other document
prepared in connection therewith, and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to Lender; PROVIDED that, neither the Borrower
nor Guarantor shall be obligated to reimburse Lender for the foregoing costs and
expenses of counsel unless such costs and expenses are incurred in connection
with:

         Agreement, the Guarantee or any other document prepared in connection
         therewith and (y) Lender's rights relating to the Collateral
         (including, without limitation, its security interest therein), in each
         case in this clause (2) in connection with any change in the condition
         (financial or otherwise), operations, business or prospects of the

            (B) any waiver in respect of this Agreement, the Guarantee or any

         executed or otherwise granted as provided therein);

            (C) any amendment, supplement or modification in respect of this
         Agreement, the Guarantee or any other document prepared in connection
         herewith or therewith that is executed by the parties thereto as
         required by this Agreement or the Guarantee or any other document
         prepared in connection therewith, as the case may be; or

            (D) any proposed amendment, supplement or modification in respect of
         this Agreement, the Guarantee or any other document prepared in
         connection herewith or therewith that is not executed by the parties
         thereto as required by such loan document if Borrower proposed or
         requested such amendment, supplement or modification;

         (ii) pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender,
including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to
Lender, in connection with the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event
of Default and the enforcement, collection, protection or preservation (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement or the
Guarantee, the Collateral, any Obligation or any right, remedy, power or
privilege of Lender hereunder or under the Guarantee;

         (iii) pay and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all present
and future stamp, excise, recording or other similar taxes or fees payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, recording and filing of this Agreement
or the Guarantee and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such
taxes or fees; and

         (iv) indemnify Lender and its affiliates and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents and hold each of them harmless from
and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements, including without
limitation the reasonable fees and disbursement of counsel to Lender and such
other parties, incurred by any of them in connection with, arising out of or in
any way relating to (i) Borrower's, Guarantor's, AMC's, the Trust's or Lender's
involvement (in the case of any such involvement of the Lender, provided such
involvement is limited to Lender in, or as a result of, its capacity as Lender
under this Agreement or under any Other Residual



                                       35

Financing Agreement) in, or the effect on any Receivable or any retail
installment sale contract relating to the "Collateral" for any Other Residual
Financing Agreement as a result of, any action, suit or proceeding listed in
Exhibit F hereto or (ii) any other investigation, claim, litigation or other
proceeding, pending or threatened (whether or not any of them is designated a
party thereto), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this
Agreement, the Guarantee, the Receivables, any other retail installment sale
contract relating to the "Collateral" for any Other Residual Financing Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any use of the
proceeds of the Loan by Borrower; PROVIDED that Lender shall not be entitled to
any indemnification for any of the foregoing resulting from its gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

If and to the extent that the indemnity obligations of Borrower under this
Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agree to make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of such
indemnity obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

9.2. SET-OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the
continuance of any Event of Default hereunder Lender is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower, Guarantor or to any
other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to
set-off against any obligation owing by Lender or any affiliate of Lender to
Borrower or Guarantor, or against any funds or other property of Borrower or
Guarantor held by or otherwise in the possession of Lender or any affiliate of
Lender, the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender under this
Agreement or of Guarantor to Lender under its respective Guarantee, irrespective
of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or under the
Guarantee.

9.3. AMENDMENTS. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented,
modified or waived unless the same shall be in writing signed by Lender,
Borrower and Guarantor and, solely in the case of amendments, supplements,
modifications or waivers to Sections 2.10 and 9.5 hereof, without the prior
written consent of the Note Insurer thereto.

9.4. WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and
no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement or the Promissory Note shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or the Guarantee preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.

9.5. NONPETITION COVENANT. Lender shall not, prior to the date which is one year
and one day after the termination of each of the Indenture, the Trust Agreement
and the Spread Account Agreement with respect to Borrower, petition or otherwise
invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of
commencing or sustaining a case against Borrower under any Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of Borrower
or any

                                       36

substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
the affairs of Borrower.

9.6. NON-AFFILIATION. Lender hereby agrees that, so long as it has any interest
in the Certificate hereunder, it shall not become an affiliate of Borrower.

9.7. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be
enforceable by Borrower, Guarantor and Lender and their respective successors
and permitted assigns.

9.8. SURVIVAL. The provisions of Sections 3.13(b), (c) and (d) and 9.1 shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the payment in full of
the Obligations, and in the case of Section 9.1, the Other RF Obligations.

PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF

OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM.

         (B) EACH OF BORROWER, LENDER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE

         Re:      Guarantee by Long Beach Acceptance Corp. of Credit
                  and Security Agreement Dated as of December 13, 2000
                  ----------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         1. For value received and in accordance with the terms of the Credit
and Security Agreement, dated as of DECEMBER 13, 2000 (the "AGREEMENT"), among
Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., as Lender ("LENDER"), Long Beach
Acceptance Receivables Corp., as Borrower ("BORROWER"), and Long Beach
Acceptance Corp., as Guarantor (the "GUARANTOR"), Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender, or any successor in
interest of Lender, the due, punctual and complete payment and performance by
Borrower when and as due, whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration, upon
one or more dates set for repayment or prepayment or otherwise of the
Obligations. Lender may make demands under this Guarantee for such amounts and
performance from time to time. Guarantor hereby represents that its obligations
hereunder do and shall rank PARI PASSU with all unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of Guarantor, as applicable. Terms used and not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.

         2. Payments and performance required under this Guarantee shall be
payable and performed whenever any amount or performance guaranteed hereunder
has not been promptly made to Lender in accordance with the Agreement. When
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Lender may, but
shall be under no obligation to, pursue the rights, remedies, powers and
privileges as it may have against Borrower or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto. Any failure by Lender to pursue the other rights, remedies,
powers or privileges or to collect any payments from Borrower or any other
Person or to realize upon any collateral security or guarantee or to exercise
any right of offset, or any release of Borrower or any other Person or of any
the collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve
Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights,
remedies, powers or privileges, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of Lender against Guarantor.

         3. Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or
further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations
made by Lender may be rescinded by Lender, and any of the Obligations continued,
and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or





                                      B-1
<PAGE>



for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right
of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be
renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
surrendered or released by Lender, and the Guarantee or the Agreement and any
other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, in
whole or in part, as Lender may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Lender for
the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Lender shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure
any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the
guarantee set forth herein or any property subject thereto. When making any
demand hereunder against Guarantor, Lender may, but shall be under no obligation
to, make a similar demand on Borrower or any other guarantor (including, without
limitation, any other Guarantor), and any release of Borrower or the other
guarantor (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor), shall not
relieve any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or
affect the rights, remedies, powers and privileges, express or implied, or as a
matter of law, of Lender against Guarantor.

         4. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by Lender upon the guarantee of Guarantor set forth herein or
acceptance of the guarantee of Guarantor set forth herein; the Obligations, and
any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee of Guarantor set forth herein; and all dealings between Borrower or
Guarantor, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other, shall likewise be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee of Guarantor set forth herein. Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment and
all other notices of any kind to or upon Borrower or Guarantor with respect to
the Obligations. The guarantee of Guarantor set forth herein shall be construed
as a guarantee of payment, and not of collection.

         5. The guarantee set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect
and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor
and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Lender, and its respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, until
all the Obligations and the obligations of Guarantor under the guarantee shall
have been satisfied by payment in full and the commitment of Lender under the
Agreement shall have been terminated.

         6. The guarantee set forth herein shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
Lender for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Guarantor
or Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or Guarantor or
any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though the payments
had not been made.

         7. All payments due hereunder shall be paid in immediately available
funds after demand no later than 1:00 P.M. on the second Business Day following
the date of such demand.



                                      B-2
<PAGE>


Demand shall be made in writing to Guarantor's office located at One Mack Centre
Drive, Paramus, New Jersey 07652, or such other address in the United States
which may be designated by Guarantor by written notice delivered to Lender.

         8. To the full extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives all
rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise,
whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation,
any such right arising under the Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any
payment or performance by Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this
Guarantee. Without limitation to the foregoing, notwithstanding any payment or
payments made by Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of
Guarantor by Lender, Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of Lender against Borrower or any collateral security or guarantee or
right of offset held by Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from
Borrower in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts
owing to Lender by Borrower and Guarantor on account of the Obligations are paid
in full and the commitment of Lender under the Agreement shall have been
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of the
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been
paid in full and the commitment of Lender under the Agreement shall not have
been terminated, the amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Lender,
segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by
Guarantor, be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Guarantor
(duly endorsed by Guarantor to Lender, if required), to be applied against the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, at the time and in the order as
Lender may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor may request
reimbursement from Borrower to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 9.16(a)
of the Agreement.

         9. As further security for this Guarantee, Guarantor hereby grants a
first priority security interest in and transfers and assigns to Lender (a) any
and all interest, if any, it may now or hereafter have in the Collateral until
it has been sold or otherwise disposed of by Lender, and (b) all claims and
demands, presently existing or hereafter accrued thereon, and any and all
collateral or security Guarantor now has or may hereafter have or acquire
against Borrower with respect to the Collateral or any of them with full right
on the part of Lender in its own name or in the name of Guarantor to collect and
enforce such claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other
liquidation proceedings, and to vote in any proceedings for the arrangement of
debts at any time proposed, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as
attorney-in-fact for Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the
purpose of endorsing in the name of Guarantor any Collateral for the payment of
money.

         10. In the event that any representation or warranty made by Borrower
or by Guarantor in the Agreement or any Basic Document to which it is a party
shall be false or misleading in any material respect, there shall be immediately
due from Guarantor to Lender the loss, out-of-pocket cost, damage or
out-of-pocket expense incurred by Lender by reason of such representation or
warranty being false or misleading in any material respect.

         11. In the event that Lender for any reason whatsoever shall deem it
necessary to enforce this Guarantee or any rights hereunder or otherwise, there
shall be immediately due from Guarantor to Lender, all losses, out-of-pocket
costs, damages, out-of-pocket expenses, claims


                                      B-3
<PAGE>


and liabilities associated with such enforcement, including but not limited to,
reasonable outside attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket disbursements, together
with all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and out-of-pocket expenses of any
related action.

         12. Guarantor hereby covenants that it shall not assign this Guarantee
except with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

         13. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that each of the
representations and warranties made by it in the Agreement is true and correct.

         14. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee are irrevocable,
primary, absolute and unconditional and shall be paid or performed strictly in
accordance with this Guarantee under all circumstances irrespective of:

         (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Agreement, the AMC
Guarantee or any of the Collateral, or any amendment, other modification or
waiver in respect thereof;

         (b) any exchange or release of any other obligations hereunder;

         (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, reduction, abatement
or other right that Lender or Borrower may have at any time against Borrower,
Guarantor or any other person;

         (d) any document presented in connection with this Guarantee proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

         (e) any payment by Guarantor under this Guarantee against presentation
of a certificate or other document that does not strictly comply with terms of
this Guarantee; and

         (f) any other circumstances, other than payment in full, that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Borrower in
respect of the Agreement.

         15. Neither the failure of Borrower or Lender to perform any covenant
or obligation in favor of Guarantor nor the failure or omission to make a demand
permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or limit Guarantor's obligations
under this Guarantee. If an action or proceeding to enforce this Guarantee is
brought, the beneficiary shall be entitled to recover from Guarantor costs and
expenses reasonably incurred, including without limitation reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and out-of-pocket costs.

         16. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Communications with respect to this
Guarantee other than requests for payment pursuant to a notice referred to in
the preceding paragraph shall also be addressed to Guarantor at One Mack Centre
Drive, Paramus, New Jersey 07652, specifically referring to this Guarantee.

         17. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LITIGATION ARISING HEREUNDER AND ALSO WAIVES THE RIGHT IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION,
TO IMPOSE COUNTERCLAIMS OR SET-OFFS OF ANY


                                      B-4
<PAGE>



KIND OR DESCRIPTION UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM OR SET-OFF IS COMPULSORY OR
MANDATORY IN NATURE UNDER THE NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES. EACH PARTY
HERETO FURTHER SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE
COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING PERSONALLY DELIVERED OR TRANSMITTED BY REGISTERED MAIL TO THE ADDRESS
SET FORTH ABOVE; PROVIDED THAT UPON ANY SUCH SERVICE BY REGISTERED MAIL THE
SENDING PARTY SHALL, SIMULTANEOUSLY THEREWITH, SEND NOTICE OF SUCH SERVICE TO
THE OTHER PARTY VIA FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL
AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW.

         18. Any notice hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered, transmitted by postage prepaid registered mail, by facsimile,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         1. For value received and in accordance with the terms of (i) the
Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2000 (the "AGREEMENT"),
among Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., as Lender ("LENDER"), Long

Acceptance Corp., as Guarantor ("LBAC"), and (ii) the Guarantee dated December
13, 2000 made by LBAC in favor of Lender (the "LBAC GUARANTEE"), Ameriquest
Mortgage Company, a Delaware corporation ("AMC"), hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to Lender, or any successor in interest of Lender, the
due, punctual and complete payment and performance by LBAC when and as due,
whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for
repayment or prepayment or otherwise, of the LBAC Obligations. For purposes of
this guarantee, "LBAC OBLIGATIONS" shall mean any and all Obligations of LBAC to
Lender under the Agreement and the LBAC Guarantee. Lender may make demands under
this guarantee for such amounts and performance from time to time. AMC hereby
represents that its obligations hereunder do and shall rank PARI PASSU with all
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of AMC, as applicable. Terms used and
not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.

         2. Payments and performance required under this guarantee shall be
payable and performed whenever any amount or performance guaranteed hereunder
has not been promptly made to Lender in accordance with the Agreement and the
LBAC Guarantee. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against AMC,
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue the rights, remedies,
powers and privileges as it may have against Borrower, LBAC or any other Person
or against any collateral security or guarantee for the LBAC Obligations or any
right of offset with respect thereto. Any failure by Lender to pursue the other
rights, remedies, powers or privileges or to collect any payments from Borrower,
LBAC or any other Person or to realize upon any collateral security or guarantee
or to exercise any right of offset, or any release of Borrower, LBAC or any
other Person or of any of the collateral security, guarantee or right of offset,
shall not relieve AMC of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect
the rights, remedies, powers or privileges, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of Lender against AMC.

                                      C-1

         3. AMC shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without
any reservation of rights against AMC, and without notice to or further assent
by AMC, any demand for payment of any of the LBAC Obligations made by Lender may
be rescinded by Lender, and any of the LBAC Obligations continued, and the LBAC
Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof,
or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
Lender, and the LBAC Guarantee or the Agreement and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, in whole or in part, as Lender
may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset at any time held by Lender for the payment of the LBAC
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Lender
shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any
time held by it as security for the LBAC Obligations or for the guarantee set
forth herein or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder
against AMC, Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on Borrower, LBAC or any other guarantor and any release of Borrower,
LBAC or any other guarantor shall not relieve any of its obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights, remedies,
powers and privileges, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Lender
against AMC.

         4. AMC waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the LBAC Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by
Lender upon the guarantee of AMC set forth herein or acceptance of the guarantee
of AMC set forth herein; the LBAC Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee of AMC set forth
herein; and all dealings between LBAC or AMC, on the one hand, and Lender, on
the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee of AMC set forth herein. AMC waives
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment and all other notices of any kind to or upon LBAC or AMC with respect
to the LBAC Obligations. The guarantee of AMC set forth herein shall be
construed as a guarantee of payment, and not of collection.

         5. The guarantee set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect
and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon AMC and
its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender,
and its respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the
LBAC Obligations and the obligations of AMC under this guarantee shall have been
satisfied by payment in full and the commitment of Lender under the Agreement
shall have been terminated. Notwithstanding Section 2.10 of the Agreement, the
obligations of AMC under this guarantee shall be fully recourse to AMC and all
property and assets of AMC whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, and AMC
shall remain liable for all of the LBAC Obligations pursuant to the terms of
this guarantee.

         6. The guarantee set forth herein shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the LBAC Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
LBAC or AMC or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,

payments had not been made.

         7. All payments due hereunder shall be paid in immediately available
funds after demand no later than 1:00 P.M. on the second Business Day following
the date of such demand. Demand shall be made in writing to AMC's office located
at 1100 Town and Country Road, Orange, CA 92868, Attention: General Counsel or
such other address in the United States which may be designated by AMC by
written notice delivered to Lender.

         8. To the full extent permitted by law, AMC hereby waives all rights of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise, whether
arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such
right arising under the Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment
or performance by AMC pursuant to the provisions of this guarantee. Without
limitation to the foregoing, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by AMC
hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of AMC by Lender, AMC shall not
be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Lender against or any
collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by Lender for the
payment of the LBAC Obligations, nor shall AMC seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from LBAC in respect of payments made by AMC
hereunder, until all amounts owing to Lender by LBAC on account of the LBAC
Obligations are paid in full and the commitment to Lender under the Agreement
shall have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to AMC on account of the
subrogation rights at any time when all of the LBAC Obligations shall not have
been paid in full and the commitment to Lender under the Agreement shall not
have been terminated, the amount shall be held by AMC in trust for Lender,
segregated from other funds of AMC, and shall forthwith upon receipt by AMC, be
turned over to Lender in the exact form received by AMC (duly endorsed by AMC to
Lender, if required), to be applied against the LBAC Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, at the time and in the order as Lender may determine.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, AMC may request reimbursement from Borrower or
Guarantor to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 9.16(b) of the Agreement.

                  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AMC
EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL BENEFITS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2809,
2810, 2819, 2845, 2849, 2850, AND 2855, CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
SECTIONS 580A, 580B, 580D, AND 726, AND ANY OTHER SURETYSHIP OR SIMILAR LAW OR
DEFENSE NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT.

         9. AMC hereby represents and warrants to Lender as of the date of this
guarantee and on an ongoing basis on each date that the LBAC Obligations are
outstanding as follows:

                  (a) ORGANIZATION. It is a corporation duly incorporated and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is
duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so
qualified could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition, operations, business or prospects.

                  (b) POWER AND AUTHORITY. It has all requisite corporate power
and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being
conducted and to execute and deliver and perform

                                       C-3

<PAGE>

its obligations under this guarantee, except as could not reasonably be
expected  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  financial  condition,
operations, business or prospects.

                  (c) AUTHORIZATION OF GUARANTEE. All appropriate and necessary
action has been taken by it to authorize the execution and delivery of this
guarantee and the performance and observance of the terms hereof.

                  (d) GUARANTEE BINDING. This guarantee has been duly executed
and delivered and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by laws governing insolvency or creditors' rights generally and general
equity principles. The execution, delivery and performance of this guarantee
does not and will not violate any provision of law, regulation, order or other
governmental directive, or conflict with, constitute a default under, or result
in the breach of any provision of any material agreement, ordinance, decree,
bond, indenture, order or judgment to which it is a party or by which it is
bound.

                  (e) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. It is conducting its business and
operations in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and
directives of governmental authorities, except to the extent that any
noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition, operation, business or prospects. It has filed all
tax returns required to be filed and has paid all taxes due in respect of the
ownership of its assets or the conduct of its operations except (a) to the
extent that the payment of such taxes is being contested in good faith by it in
appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves have been provided for the payment
thereof, or (b) with respect to such returns and/or taxes which are not material
in either nature or amount such that any failure to file such returns or pay
such taxes would not materially and adversely affect its financial condition,
operations, business or prospects.

                  (f) CONSENTS. All licenses, consents and approvals required
from and all registrations and filings required to be made with any governmental
or other public body or authority for the making and performance by it of this
guarantee have been obtained and are in effect, except as could not reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition,
operations, business or prospects or on its ability to perform the obligations
hereunder.

                  (g) LITIGATION. There is no action, suit or proceeding at law
or in equity by or before any court, governmental agency or authority or
arbitral tribunal now pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened
against or affecting it which, if determined adversely, may reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or
financial condition.

                  (h) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The unaudited balance sheets of AMC
as at September 30, 2000, and the related statements of income for the fiscal
periods ended on such date, heretofore furnished to Lender, are complete and
correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of
AMC as at said date (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and tax
planning adjustments), all in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis. On said date, AMC had no material

                                      C-4

<PAGE>

contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or anticipated losses
from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected in said
balance sheets as at said date. Since September 30, 2000, there has been no
material adverse change in the operations, condition (financial or otherwise),
business or prospects of AMC from that set forth in said financial statements as
at said date.

                  (i) OTHER OBLIGATIONS. It is not in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition
in any of the Basic Documents or in any agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it is bound the result of which could reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or financial
condition.

                  (j) INVESTMENT  COMPANY  ACT. It is not an  "investment
company"  or a company  "controlled"  by an  investment company within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (k) FULL DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty made by or
on behalf of AMC contained in this guarantee and no written information or
information in any certificate, financial statement or report furnished or to be
furnished by or on behalf of AMC hereunder or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain an untrue statement of
a material fact, or, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements herein or therein contained, in light of the circumstances
in which made, not misleading.

                  (l) ERISA. Set forth on Schedule 9(l) hereto is a list of all
Plans, if any, maintained by AMC or any of its subsidiaries. Except as may be
set forth on such schedule, neither AMC nor any of its subsidiaries maintains
any Plans, and AMC agrees to notify Lender in advance of forming any Plans.
Neither AMC nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has any obligations or
liabilities with respect to any employee pension benefit plans or Multiemployer
Plans, nor have any such Persons had any obligations or liabilities with respect
to any such Plans during the five-year period prior to the date this
representation is made or deemed made. AMC will give notice if at any time it or
any Commonly Controlled Entity has any obligations or liabilities with respect
to any employee pension benefit plan or Multiemployer Plan. All Plans maintained
by AMC or any Commonly Controlled Entity are in substantial compliance with all
applicable laws (including ERISA). AMC is not an employer under any
Multiemployer Plan.

                  (m) BASIC DOCUMENTS. Each of the representations and
warranties made by it in (i) the AMC Guarantee, dated as of December 1, 2000,
made by AMC in favor of Financial Security Assurance Inc. and The Chase
Manhattan Bank and (ii) the Guarantee, dated as of December 1, 2000, made by AMC
in favor of Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., relating to the Note Purchase
Agreement, dated December 13, 2000, among Borrower, Guarantor and Lender, is
true and correct; PROVIDED that this representation shall not be deemed to have
been breached if AMC shall have breached a representation or warranty in either
such document but shall have cured such breach within the applicable cure
period, if any, set forth therein.

         10.      AMC hereby covenants as follows:

                  (a) NOTICE. It shall promptly give notice to Lender of the
occurrence of (i) any Event of Default relating to it under the Agreement or
event which with the giving of notice or the passing of time or both would
constitute such an Event of Default relating to it, specifying the event and the
action which it proposes to take with respect thereto, (ii) any event or
occurrence known to it which will or could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the collectibility of the Receivables or the ability of LBAC to service
such Receivables or the ability of AMC to perform its obligations under any
related documents or (iii) any other event or occurrence which individually or
in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect
AMC's financial condition, operations, business or prospects.

                  (b) TAXES. AMC shall pay and discharge all taxes and
governmental charges upon it or against any of its properties or assets or its
income prior to the date after which penalties attach for failure to pay, except
(i) to the extent that AMC shall be contesting in good faith in appropriate
proceedings its obligation to pay such taxes or charges, adequate reserves
having been set aside for the payment thereof, or (ii) with respect to such
taxes and charges which are not material in either nature or amount such that
any failure to pay or discharge them, and any resulting penalties, either in any
one instance or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the
financial condition, operations, business or prospects of AMC.

                  (c) BOOKS AND RECORDS;  OTHER  INFORMATION.  (i) AMC
shall maintain accurate and complete books and records with respect to its
business.  All  accounting  books and records shall be maintained in  accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting principles consistently applied.

                  (ii) Only to the extent reasonably necessary to protect
Lender's interest hereunder, AMC shall, and shall cause each of its respective
subsidiaries to, permit any representative of Lender to visit and inspect any of
the properties of AMC to examine the books and records of AMC and to make copies
and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss the business, operations,
properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of AMC and each such
subsidiary with the officers and independent public accountants thereof and as
often as Lender may reasonably request, and so long as no default hereunder
shall have occurred and be continuing, all at such reasonable times during
normal business hours upon reasonable notice. AMC shall provide to Lender all
information regarding its respective operations and practices as Lender shall
reasonably request in writing. In connection with the matters described in this
Section 10(c), Lender shall not at any time use or disclose to any Person,
except to any professional adviser who needs to know such information in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or except in connection
with any litigation or arbitral proceedings commenced by or against Lender or
any of its affiliates, any information that may be within or may come to its or
their knowledge if such information is of a type that would generally be
expected to be held as confidential; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not apply
to the extent that such information was (i) previously known by Lender from
sources other than AMC or its directors, officers or agents, (ii) in the public
domain through no fault of Lender, (iii) lawfully acquired by Lender on a
non-confidential basis from other sources who are not known by Lender to be
bound by a confidentiality agreement with AMC or (iv) required to be disclosed
by judicial or administrative process or by any other Requirement of Law.

                                      C-6
<PAGE>

                  (d) PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. AMC shall pay to Lender, on
demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Lender pays to a bank or other
similar institution arising out of or in connection with the return of payments
by AMC deposited for collection by Lender.

                  (e) CONTINUITY OF BUSINESS AND COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENT. AMC
shall continue in business in a prudent, reasonable and lawful manner with all
licenses, permits, and qualifications necessary to perform its obligations under
this guarantee, except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected
to materially and adversely affect such performance.

                  (f) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCESS TO RECORDS. AMC shall
provide Lender with quarterly unaudited financial statements within sixty (60)
days of the end of AMC's first three fiscal quarters, and will provide Lender
with audited annual financial statements within one hundred twenty (120) days of
AMC's fiscal year-end audited by a nationally recognized independent certified
public accounting firm. Upon request of Lender, AMC shall provide Lender with
unaudited monthly financial statements. AMC shall deliver to Lender with each
financial statement a certificate by AMC's chief financial officer, certifying
that such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects
and that, except as noted in such certificate, such chief financial officer has
no knowledge of any default by it hereunder or any event which with the giving
of notice or the passing of time or both would constitute such a default.

                  (g) FINANCIAL CONDITION. AMC shall maintain a net worth of at
least 100% of the net worth AMC is required to maintain pursuant to the credit
documents AMC has entered into with its primary warehouse lender (which on the
date hereof is PaineWebber Incorporated) (net worth, in each case, being
calculated in accordance with such credit documents); PROVIDED that, if such
credit documents are terminated and AMC does not have a primary warehouse
lender, the reference to such credit documents will be deemed to be to such
credit documents as in effect immediately prior to such termination. AMC shall
maintain a debt-to-equity ratio of no more than 100% of the debt-to-equity ratio
AMC is required to maintain pursuant to the credit documents AMC has entered
into with its primary warehouse lender (which on the date hereof is PaineWebber
Incorporated) (debt-to-equity, in each case, being calculated in accordance with
such credit documents); PROVIDED that, if such credit documents are terminated
and AMC does not have a primary warehouse lender, the reference to credit
documents AMC has entered into with its primary warehouse lender will be deemed
to be to such credit documents as in effect immediately prior to such
termination.

                  (h) LITIGATION MATTERS. AMC shall notify Lender in writing,
promptly upon its learning thereof, of any litigation, arbitration or
administrative proceeding which may reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the operations, financial condition or business of AMC or AMC's
ability to perform under this guarantee or other rights under this guarantee.

                  (i) FULFILLMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. AMC shall pay and perform, as
and when due, all of its obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount
or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and reserves in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles with respect thereto have been provided on the books of AMC, and
except to the extent that the failure to do so could not individually or in the
aggregate

                                       C-7

<PAGE>

reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the financial
condition, operations, business or prospects of AMC.

                  (j) COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, ETC. AMC shall, and shall cause each
of its respective subsidiaries to, comply (i) in all material respects with all
Requirements of Law and any change therein or in the application, administration
or interpretation thereof (including, without limitation any request, directive,
guideline or policy, whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof; and (ii)
with all indentures, mortgages, deeds of trust, agreements, or other instruments
or contractual obligations to which it is a party, including without limitation,
each Basic Document to which it is a party, or by which it or any of its
properties may be bound or affected, or which may affect the Receivables, if the
failure to comply therewith could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to materially and adversely affect the financial condition,
operations, business or prospects of AMC.

                  (k) NO ASSIGNMENT. Except in connection with an assignment to
any successor that complies with Section 15 hereof, AMC shall not assign this
guarantee, except with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (l) VALUATION  MODEL.  AMC expressly  accepts and
acknowledges,  and agrees to comply with and be bound by, the provisions of
Section 3.13 of the Agreement.

         11. The obligations of AMC under this guarantee are irrevocable,
primary, absolute and unconditional and shall be paid or performed strictly in
accordance with this guarantee under all circumstances irrespective of:

                  (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Agreement, the LBAC Guarantee or of any of the Collateral, or any amendment,
other modification or waiver in respect thereof;

                  (b) any exchange or release of any other obligations
hereunder;

                  (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, reduction,
abatement or other right that Lender, Borrower or LBAC may have at any time
against any of Borrower, LBAC, AMC or any other person;

                  (d) any document presented in connection with the Agreement,
the LBAC Guarantee or this guarantee proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect;

                  (e) any payment by AMC under this guarantee against
presentation of a certificate or other document that does not strictly comply
with terms of this guarantee; and

                  (f) any other circumstances, other than payment in full, that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Lender,
Borrower or LBAC in respect of the Agreement or the LBAC Guarantee.

                                      C-8

<PAGE>


         12. Neither the failure of Borrower, Lender or LBAC to perform any
covenant or obligation in favor of AMC nor the failure or omission to make a
demand permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or limit AMC's obligations
under this guarantee.

         13. AMC agrees to:

                  (i) pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all its reasonable
                  out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
                  the development, preparation and execution of, and any
                  amendment, modification or supplement to, or any waiver under,
                  this guarantee, the LBAC Guarantee and any other document
                  prepared in connection therewith, and the consummation and
                  administration of the transactions contemplated thereby,
                  including without limitation the reasonable fees and
                  disbursements of counsel to Lender;

                  (ii) pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of
                  Lender, including without limitation the reasonable fees and
                  disbursements of counsel to Lender, in connection with the
                  occurrence or continuance of a default under this guarantee
                  and the LBAC Guarantee and the enforcement, collection,
                  protection or preservation (whether through negotiations,
                  legal proceedings or otherwise) of this guarantee, any LBAC
                  Obligation or any right, remedy, power or privilege of Lender
                  hereunder or under the LBAC Guarantee;

                  (iii) pay and hold Lender harmless from and against any and
                  all present and future stamp, excise, recording or other
                  similar taxes or fees payable in connection with the
                  execution, delivery, recording and filing of this guarantee or
                  the LBAC Guarantee and hold Lender harmless from and against
                  any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
                  delay or omission to pay such taxes or fees; and

                  (iv) indemnify Lender and its affiliates and each of their
                  respective directors, officers, employees and agents and hold
                  each of them harmless from and against, any and all
                  liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
                  suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements, including
                  without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of
                  counsel to Lender and such other parties, incurred by any of
                  them in connection with, arising out of or in any way relating
                  to any investigation, claim, litigation or other proceeding,
                  pending or threatened (whether or not any of them is
                  designated a party thereto), in connection with, arising out
                  of or in any way related to this guarantee or the LBAC
                  Guarantee or any of the transactions contemplated herein or
                  therein; PROVIDED that Lender shall not be entitled to any
                  indemnification for any of the foregoing resulting from its
                  gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If and to the extent that the indemnity obligations of AMC under this Section 13
may be unenforceable for any reason, AMC hereby agrees to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of such indemnity
obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

                                      C-9

<PAGE>

         14. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable
law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of
any default under this guarantee or the LBAC Guarantee Lender is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to AMC or to any
other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to
set-off against any obligation owing by Lender or any affiliate of Lender to
LBAC or AMC, or against any funds or other property of LBAC or AMC held by or
otherwise in the possession of Lender or any affiliate of Lender, the LBAC
Obligations and the obligations and liabilities of AMC to Lender hereunder,
irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or
under the LBAC Guarantee.

         15. Any Person (i) into which AMC may be merged or consolidated, (ii)
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which AMC is a party or (iii)
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of AMC shall execute an
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of AMC under this guarantee,
and whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor
to AMC hereunder (without relieving AMC of its responsibilities hereunder, if it
survives such merger or consolidation) without the execution or filing of any
document or any further act by any of the parties to this guarantee.

         16. Each party shall, from time to time after execution of this
guarantee and without further consideration, execute such documents or take such
action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose or intention of
this guarantee.

         17. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Communications with respect to this
guarantee other than requests for payment pursuant to a notice referred to in

         In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined and are
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of (i) the Delivered Documents, (ii) the articles of incorporation
and by-laws of each of Borrower, LBAC and AMC, each as in effect on the date
hereof, (iii) resolutions of the boards of directors of each of Borrower, LBAC
and AMC relating to each of the Delivered Documents adopted on or prior to the
date hereof, and (iv) such certificates of public officials and such other
certificates, documents, records, and statements of officers and other
representatives of Borrower, LBAC and AMC and public officials as we have deemed
appropriate or necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. As to
certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon,
and assumed the accuracy of, (i) the representations and warranties contained in
the Delivered Documents, and (ii) the certificates and other documents, records
and statements referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. We have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of Borrower, LBAC
and AMC), the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed the due
execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, by Lender of the Credit
and Security Agreement.

         We are admitted to the bar in the State of New York and we express no
opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of
New York, the State of Delaware and the Federal securities laws of the United
States.

                  Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications
and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

         1. Each of Borrower, LBAC and AMC (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, (b) has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its
property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except, with respect to the preceding clause (c),
to the extent that the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would
not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of Borrower, LBAC or AMC (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").

         2. Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform each of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Promissory Note,
to borrow under the Credit and Security Agreement and the Promissory Note, and
to grant liens pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, and has taken all
necessary corporate action to authorize such borrowing, the granting of such
liens on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Credit and Security
Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Credit and
Security Agreement and the Promissory Note. LBAC has the corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit and Security
Agreement and the LBAC Guarantee, and has taken all necessary corporate action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit and Security
Agreement and the LBAC Guarantee. AMC has the corporate power and

                                      E-2

<PAGE>

authority to execute, deliver and perform the AMC Guarantee, and has taken
all  necessary  corporate  action  to  authorize  the  execution,  delivery  and
performance of the AMC Guarantee.

         3. No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in
respect of any governmental authority of or within the State of New York, the
State of California or the State of Delaware is required in connection with the
borrowing under the Credit and Security Agreement and the Promissory Note or
with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the
Delivered Documents, except for consents, authorizations and filings which have
been obtained or made, as the case may be, and are in full force and effect.

         4. Each of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Promissory Note
has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Borrower and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and (ii) the application
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in proceedings at law or in equity). Each of the Credit and Security
Agreement and the LBAC Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered on behalf
of LBAC and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of LBAC,
enforceable against each LBAC in accordance with its terms, subject to the
effect of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights
of creditors and (ii) the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforceability is considered in proceedings at law or in
equity). The AMC Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of AMC
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of AMC, enforceable
against AMC in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in proceedings at law or in equity).

         5. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Borrower, LBAC
and AMC of the Delivered Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing by
Borrower under the Credit and Security Agreement and the use of the proceeds
thereof, and the granting of liens by Borrower pursuant to the Credit and
Security Agreement, will not violate any Requirement of Law of the State of New
York, the State of California or in respect of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware or Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, or, to the best of our knowledge, any of the material terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to which
Borrower, LBAC or AMC is a party or by which Borrower, LBAC or AMC is bound
(collectively, the "SPECIFIED AGREEMENTS"), and will not result in, or require,
the creation or imposition of any lien on any of either of their respective
properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Specified
Agreement (other than the liens created by the Credit and Security Agreement in
favor of Lender). As used herein "REQUIREMENT OF LAW" means the governing
documents of Borrower, LBAC or AMC, or any law, treaty, rule or regulation or
determination of an arbitrator or a court or other governmental authority, in
each case applicable to or binding upon, Borrower, LBAC or AMC or any of their
respective properties or to which Borrower, LBAC or AMC or any of their
respective properties is subject.



                                      E-3

         6. No litigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or
governmental authority is pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened
by or against Borrower, LBAC, AMC or any of their respective subsidiaries or
against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any
of the Delivered Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or
(b) which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         7. Borrower is not (a) an "investment company", or a company
"controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended or (b) a "holding company" within the meaning of
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

         8. The provisions of the Credit and Security Agreement are effective to
create, in favor of Lender, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in
all right, title and interest of Borrower in the "Collateral" described therein.

         9. Upon (i) delivery to Lender of the Pledged Securities, together with
a bond power for each Pledged Security endorsed in blank by a duly authorized
officer of Borrower, and (ii) the filing of financing statements in the form of
Annex A in the offices in the jurisdictions as listed on Schedule 1 hereto, the
security interests created under the Credit and Security Agreement will
constitute fully perfected first priority security interests in all right, title
and interest of Borrower in the "Collateral" described therein which can be
perfected by filing a financing statement under Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

         10. The issuance of the Promissory Note, the LBAC Guarantee and the AMC
Guarantee to Lender pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement are not
transactions requiring the registration of the Promissory Note, the LBAC
Guarantee or the AMC Guarantee under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                  This opinion is rendered only to Lender is solely for its
benefit in connection with the above transactions and may not be relied upon by
Lender for any other purpose, relied upon by any other person, firm or
corporation for any purpose without our prior written consent.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                      E-4
