guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which

Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar shall not register
transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a
period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the
Note.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Class E Note may be sold or
transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) if the
sale or transfer thereof increases to more than 99 the sum of (a) the number of
holders of the Class E Notes and (b) the number of Certificateholders.

                  SECTION 2.5 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES. If (i)
any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and
(ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence
of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall
have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the
Issuer may direct the Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender
thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such
replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer
and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such
payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such
replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or
any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled
to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in
connection therewith.

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

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

                  The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

                  SECTION 2.6 PERSONS DEEMED OWNER. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered (as of the Record Date) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any on such Note and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 2.7 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; DEFAULTED
INTEREST.

                  (a) The Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the forms

the Class C Note, the Class D Note and the Class E Note set forth in Exhibits
A-1, A-2, A-3, B, C, D and E, respectively, and such interest shall be due and

interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or
duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to
such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date,
except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12,
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal
payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note
called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) which shall be payable as
provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered
shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

                  (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in
installments on each Distribution Date, as applicable, as provided in the forms
of the Class A-1 Note, the Class A-2 Note, the Class A-3 Note, the Class B Note,
the Class C Note, the Class D Note and the Class E Note set forth in Exhibits
A-1, A-2, A-3, B, C, D and E, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not
previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, if the Trustee or the Majority Noteholders have declared the
Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2.
All principal payments on each class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of such class entitled thereto. Upon written notice from the Issuer,
the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which
the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on
such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile
prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final
installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note
and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for
payment of such


                                       15
<PAGE>

installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to
Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

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

                  SECTION 2.8 CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which
the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled
Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard
retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall
timely direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it;
provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously
disposed of by the Trustee.

                  SECTION 2.9 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. The Trust Collateral Agent
shall, on or after the Termination Date, release any remaining portion of the
Trust Estate from the lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the
Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust Account. The
Trust Collateral Agent shall release property from the lien created by this
Indenture pursuant to this Section 2.9 only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required
by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA ss.ss. 314(c) and
314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

                  SECTION 2.10 BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. The Notes, upon original
issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note
representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in
Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the
"DEFINITIVE NOTES") have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

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


                                       16
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 2.12 DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i) the Servicer advises the
Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the
Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Servicer at its
option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Majority Noteholders advise the Trustee through the Clearing Agency
in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing
Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing
Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in


                                       17
<PAGE>

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

                                   ARTICLE III

                                    COVENANTS

                  SECTION 3.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Issuer will
duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance

Sale and Servicing Agreement (i) for the benefit of the Class A-l Notes, to
Class A-1 Noteholders, (ii) for the benefit of the Class A-2 Notes, to Class A-2

payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as
having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this
Indenture.

                  SECTION 3.2 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer will
maintain in Columbus, Ohio, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or
upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders,
notices and demands.

                  SECTION 3.3 MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. On or
before each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account from the Collection
Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under
the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto and (unless the Note Paying Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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


                                       18
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       19
<PAGE>

due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Trustee
or of any Note Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).

                  SECTION 3.4 EXISTENCE. Except as otherwise permitted by the
provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

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

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

                  (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and
         the priority thereof) in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent for the
         benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties created by this Indenture or
         carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

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

                  (vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the
         Trust Estate when due.

The Issuer hereby designates the Trust Collateral Agent its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required by the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this
Section.

                  SECTION 3.6 OPINIONS AS TO TRUST ESTATE.

                  (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel either stating

action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this
Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite

Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, created by this
Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and
security interest effective.

                  (b) Within 120 days after the beginning of each calendar year,
beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than six months after the
Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent

                  SECTION 3.7 PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF
RECEIVABLES.

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

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

                  (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and
in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including, but
not limited to, preparing (or causing to prepared) and filing (or causing to be
filed) all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be
filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.
Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive,
amend, modify,


                                       21
<PAGE>

supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the
consent of the Trustee or the Majority Noteholders.

                  (d) If a responsible officer of the Owner Trustee shall have
actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and
the Rating Agencies thereof in accordance with Section 11.4, and shall specify
in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such
default. If a Servicer Termination Event shall arise from the failure of the
Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all
reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

                  (e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely
performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller of their respective
duties under the Basic Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect
the Holders of the Notes.

         connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material
         respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such
         default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or
         condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was
         incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a
         period of 30 days (or for such longer period, not in excess of 90 days,
         as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default; provided that
         such default is capable of remedy within 90 days or less and the
         Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee delivers an Officer's
         Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has commenced,
         or will promptly commence and diligently pursue, all reasonable efforts

         consecutive days; or

                  (v) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under
         any applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar

         benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its
         debts as such debts become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer
         in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

                  SECTION 5.2 RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

                  (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, or if so requested in writing by
the Majority Noteholders shall, declare by written notice to the Issuer that the
Notes become, whereupon they shall become, immediately due and payable at par,
together with accrued interest thereon.

                  In the event of any acceleration of any Notes by operation of
this Section 5.2, the Trustee shall continue to be entitled to make claims under
the Guaranty pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for Guaranty Claim
Amounts on the Class E Notes. Payments under the Guaranty following acceleration
of any Notes shall be applied by the Trustee:

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

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

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

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


                                       29
<PAGE>

                           (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all
                  Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder
                  or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
                  acceleration had not occurred; and

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

                  (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
         principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
         have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

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

                  SECTION 5.3 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

                  (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the
payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and
such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the
payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when
the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal,
and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally
enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest
Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

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

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


                                       30
<PAGE>

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

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 5.4(a), 5.12, 5.13 and 5.17),
if the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under Section 10.1(b) hereof when
and as due, the Trustee may in its discretion (and without the consent of the
Controlling Party) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for specific
performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or
legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law;
provided that the Trustee shall only be entitled to take any such actions
without the consent of the Controlling Party to the extent such actions are
taken only to enforce the Issuer's obligations to redeem the principal amount of
Notes.

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

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

                  (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to
         vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a
         standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such
         proceedings;

                  (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
         received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
         Trustee on their behalf; and


                                       31
<PAGE>

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

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee,
each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and
all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad
faith.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 5.4 REMEDIES.

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

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

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

                  (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
         and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
         and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and


                                       32
<PAGE>

                  (iv) direct the Trust Collateral Agent to sell the Trust
         Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
         more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner
         permitted by law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Trustee is the
         Controlling Party, the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the
         Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless

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

                           (II) either

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 5.5 OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE RECEIVABLES. If the
Trustee is the Controlling Party and if the Notes have been declared to be due
and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but
need not, elect to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of
the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders
that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes, and the Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to direct the Trust
Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may,
but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

                  SECTION 5.6 PRIORITIES.

                  (a) Following (1) the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to
Section 5.2 or (2) the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section
5.1(i), 5.1(ii), 5.1(iv) or 5.1(v) of this

         Agent, Back Up Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent, respectively,
         pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) of Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and
         Servicing Agreement and not previously distributed, in the order of
         such priorities and without limitation, preference or priority of any
         kind within such priorities;

                  SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
         for interest pursuant to priorities (iii), (vi), (ix), (xii) and (xv)
         of Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in the order of
         such priorities and without limitation, preference or priority of any
         kind within such priorities, according to the amounts due and payable
         on the Notes for interest; and

                  THIRD: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
         for principal pursuant to priorities (v), (viii), (xi), (xiv) and
         (xvii) of Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in the
         order of such priorities and without limitation, preference or priority
         of any kind within such priorities, according to the amounts due and
         payable on the Notes for principal.

                  (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.6. At least 15 days before
such record date the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a
notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

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

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

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

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

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


                                       34
<PAGE>

                  (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Majority
         Noteholders;

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

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

                  SECTION 5.8 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on
such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or
in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                  SECTION 5.9 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the
Controlling Party or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

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

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


                                       35

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

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
         the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to Article VI, the Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability, financial or otherwise,
without receiving indemnity satisfactory to it, or might materially adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

                  SECTION 5.13 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration
of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.4, the
Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any
of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case
of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

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

                  SECTION 5.14 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this


                                       36
<PAGE>

Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in
the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any
suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on
or after the Redemption Date).

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

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

                  SECTION 5.17 PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN
OBLIGATIONS.

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

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

                                   ARTICLE VI

                   THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT

                  SECTION 6.1 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

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

                  (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

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

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

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12.

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

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

                  (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to


                                       38
<PAGE>

believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

                  (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.

                  (h) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform
all of the obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

                  (i) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, hold

in trust solely for the use and benefit of the Class E Noteholders.

                  (j) Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the
Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of
this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement
evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording,
refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the
Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii)
to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or
levied against any part of the Trust, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of
any reports or certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture
or the Sale and Servicing Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (v) to inspect
the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance
of observance of any of the Issuer's, the Seller's or the Servicer's
representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and
obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Receivable Files under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.

                  (k) In no event shall Bank One, NA, in any of its capacities
hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the
Delaware Business Trust Statute, common law, or the Trust Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.2 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

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

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

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


                                       39
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       40
<PAGE>

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

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

                  SECTION 6.6 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. The Trustee shall
deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to
enable such Holder to prepare its federal and State income tax returns.

                  SECTION 6.7 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

                  (a) Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Trustee
from time to time compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Trustee and the
Trust Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or
made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for
its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee's, the Backup Servicer's,
the Collateral Agent's and the Trust Collateral Agent's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in connection with the
acceptance or the administration of this Trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
Backup Servicer shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or Trust Collateral
Agent to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of
its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XI of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to defend
the claim, and the Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
Backup Servicer may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall cause the
Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor
the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee or Trust Collateral Agent through the
Trustee's or Trust Collateral Agent's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

                  (b) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant
to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee


                                       41
<PAGE>

or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer.
When the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Backup
Servicer incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic
Documents, the Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the
Servicer) to the Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be
recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the
assets of the Certificateholder or any Noteholder. In addition, the Trustee
agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Seller shall be
limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.8 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign at
any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Issuer may and shall, remove the
Trustee, if:

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

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

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

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

                  (v) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of


                                       42
<PAGE>

the retiring Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by
it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 6.10 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.

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


                                       43
<PAGE>

6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof.

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

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

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

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

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

                  (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and
trusts shall invest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted
by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

                  (e) Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of

maintain custody and possession of such Indenture Collateral (except as
otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Trust
Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the
other Basic Documents. Each Issuer Secured Party hereby authorizes the Trust
Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf, and to exercise such rights,
remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, as the Controlling Party may direct
and as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Trust Collateral Agent
by the terms hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and
privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, but not limited to,
the execution of any powers of attorney. The Trust Collateral Agent shall act
upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party
delivered pursuant to this Indenture promptly following receipt of such written
instructions; provided that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not act in
accordance with any instructions (i) which are not authorized by, or in
violation of the provisions of, this Indenture, (ii) which are in violation of
any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Trust Collateral
Agent has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such instructions shall
not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express
duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the Trust Collateral
Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such
instructions.

                  SECTION 6.14 PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES. The Trust Collateral Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in

and obligations required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.15 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Neither the Trust
Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in
connection herewith, except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be liable for
its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust Collateral


                                       45
<PAGE>

Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or
enforceability against the Issuer of this Indenture or any of the Indenture
Collateral (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this
Indenture, the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer or
the Issuer Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Trust
Collateral Agent in connection with the Indenture Collateral, except for the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trust Collateral
Agent, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer Secured Parties
except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its
duties to the Issuer Secured Parties. The Trust Collateral Agent shall be
protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the
accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of
any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document
reasonably believed by the Trust Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been
duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent actual knowledge to the
contrary by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent) the Trust
Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any independent investigation
with respect thereto. The Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free
independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no
duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of facts that are a
condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or
under any of the Basic Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with
counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of
the remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to follow any
direction from the Controlling Party or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder unless it
shall have received reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trust
Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it.

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

                  SECTION 6.17 SUCCESSOR TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT.

                  (a) MERGER. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it
may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially
as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party,
shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent
hereunder) be and become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be
vested with all of the title to and interest in the Indenture Collateral and all
of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as
was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any
further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any,
that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the
security interest of the Issuer Secured


                                       46
<PAGE>

Parties in the Indenture Collateral; provided that any such successor shall also
be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9.

                  (b) RESIGNATION. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor
Trust Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer;
provided that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not so resign unless it shall
also resign as Trustee hereunder.

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

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

                  SECTION 6.18 COMPENSATION. The Trust Collateral Agent shall
not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder
other than the compensation it is entitled to receive in its capacity as
Trustee.


                                       47

Indenture and such other Basic Documents.

                  (s) VALID AND BINDING INDENTURE. The Trust Collateral Agent
has duly executed and delivered this Indenture and each other Basic Document to
which it is a party, and each of this Indenture and each such other Basic
Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust
Collateral Agent, enforceable against the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance
with its terms, except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) the availability of
equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general
applicability.

                  (e) NO CONFLICTS. The execution and delivery of each Basic
Document to which it is a party by the Trust Collateral Agent and the
performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its obligations thereunder, in its
capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, do not conflict with or result
in any violation of (i) any law or regulation of the United States of America
governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Collateral Agent or (ii) the
articles of association and by-laws of the Trust Collateral Agent.

                  (f) NO ACTIONS. There are no actions, proceedings or
investigations known to the Trust Collateral Agent, either pending or threatened
in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
tribunal or governmental instrumentality which would, if adversely determined,
affect in any material respect the consummation, validity or enforceability
against the Trust Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or
otherwise, of any Basic Document.

                  SECTION 6.20 WAIVER OF SETOFFS. The Trust Collateral Agent
hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral
Agent may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any
Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the


                                       48

Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with
the provisions hereof.

                  SECTION 6.21 CONTROL BY THE CONTROLLING PARTY. The Trust
Collateral Agent shall comply with notices and instructions given by the Issuer
only if accompanied by the written consent of the Controlling Party, except that
if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trust
Collateral Agent shall act upon and comply with notices and instructions given
by the Controlling Party alone in the place and stead of the Issuer.

Agent's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or
see to the application of any moneys.

                  (b) The Trust Collateral Agent shall, at such time as there
are no Notes outstanding and all sums due the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7

the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete
the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such
action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely
impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in
contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair
value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without
independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or
other instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action.

         other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

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

                  (b) The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with

Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such action
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

                  SECTION 9.2 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF

         results in the Distribution Date becoming the same date as the Final
         Scheduled Distribution Date shall not be considered an event which
         requires the consent of the Trustee or any Noteholder;

                  (ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
         the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds
         available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any
         such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates
         thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
         Date);

                  (iii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
         Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such
         supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is
         required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this
         Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided
         for in this Indenture;

                  (iv) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
         definition of the term "Outstanding";

                  (v) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
         Notes required to direct the Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or
         liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4;

                  (vi) modify any provision of this Section except to increase
         any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional
         provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified
         or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
         affected thereby;

                  (vii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such
         manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of
         interest or principal due on any Note on any Distribution Date
         (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such
         calculation) or to affect the rights of the Noteholders to the benefit
         of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained
         herein; or

                  (viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on
         a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of
         the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
         herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of this
         Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
         Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this
         Indenture.

                  The Trustee may determine whether or not any Notes would be
affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be
conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
such determination made in good faith.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof.

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

                  SECTION 9.3 EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In
executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article IX or the amendments or modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

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

                  SECTION 9.5 CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every
amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act
as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act.

                  SECTION 9.6 REFERENCE IN NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine,
new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Notes.

                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

                  SECTION 10.1 REDEMPTION.

                  (a) The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in
part, at the direction of the Servicer or the Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(a)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Distribution Date on which the
Servicer or Seller exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to
said Section 10.1(a), for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies
notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 10.1(a), the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such
election to the Trustee not later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date and
the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the
Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed whereupon all such Notes shall be
due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying
with Section 10.2 to each Holder of Notes.

                  (b) In the event that the assets of the Trust are distributed
pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the
Note Distribution Account shall be paid to the Noteholders up to the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If amounts are
to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the
Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the
Trustee not later than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such
amounts shall be payable on the Redemption Date.

                  SECTION 10.2 FORM OF REDEMPTION NOTICE. Notice of redemption
under Section 10.1(a) shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close of business on the
Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder's address
appearing in the Note Register.

                  All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price;

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

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


                                       55
<PAGE>

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

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

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 11.1 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC.

                  (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the
Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to take any action under any provision of
this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the
proposed action have been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that
in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from
a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of
this Section, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision
of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

                  (iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased
         Receivables or Liquidated Receivables, whenever any property or
         securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the
         Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer's
         Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing
         such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release)
         of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that
         in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
         security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions
         hereof.

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

                  (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
         Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise
         dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by
         the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust
         Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
         Documents.

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 11.3 ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.

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


                                       58
<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  SECTION 11.4 NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE, ISSUER AND RATING
AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

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

                  (b) The Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by
overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall
deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to:
AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2001-1, in care of Bankers Trust
(Delaware), E.A. Delle Donne Corporate Center, Montgomery Building, 1011 Centre
Road, Suite 200, Wilmington, Delaware 19805 Attention: John V. Lavin, with a
copy to Bankers Trust Company, 4 Albany Street, New York, New York 10006,
Attention: Corporate Trust Agency, or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any
notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Trustee.

                  (c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the
Issuer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return
receipt requested to (i) in the case of Moody's, at the following address:
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10004;
(ii) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard & Poor's, A Division
of the McGraw-Hill Companies, 55 Water Street, 40th Floor, New York, New York
10041, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; and (iii); in the case
of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch, Inc., One State Street Plaza, New
York, New York 10004, Attention of Asset-Backed Surveillance, or as to each of
the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to
the other parties.

                  SECTION 11.5 NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this
Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice.


                                       59
<PAGE>

In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular
Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner here in provided shall
conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 11.6 [RESERVED]

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

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

                  SECTION 11.8 EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                  SECTION 11.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the
Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trust
Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

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

                  SECTION 11.11 BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the
parties hereto and their


                                       60
<PAGE>

successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured
hereunder, and any other person with an Ownership interest in any part of the

and effect as if made on the date an which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording
is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-1 4.8075% Asset Backed Notes (herein called
the "CLASS A-1 NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 18, 2001
(such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and Bank One, NA, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral
agent (the "TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT"), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

                  Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 6 2001. The term "DISTRIBUTION
DATE," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

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

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


                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in
Columbus, Ohio.

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

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

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner,
the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the General
Partner, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes as
indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
franchise and any other income taxes.

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Bankers
Trust (Delaware) in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of


                                     A-1-6
<PAGE>

binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The
Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of
Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-2 4.63% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"CLASS A-2 NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 18, 2001
(such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and Bank One, NA, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral
agent (the "TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT"), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

                  Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 6, 2001. The term
"Distribution Date," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

                  As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described
above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto.

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


                                      A-2-4
<PAGE>

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in
Columbus, Ohio.

                  The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the Class A-2 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

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

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner,
the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the General
Partner, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes as
indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
franchise and any other income taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Bankers
Trust (Delaware) in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of


                                      A-2-6
<PAGE>

binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The
Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of
Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class B 5.81% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"CLASS B NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 18, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and Bank One, NA, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral
agent (the "TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT"), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the

                  Principal of the Class B Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 6, 2001. The term
"DISTRIBUTION DATE," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution

                  As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described
above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class B Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class B Noteholders entitled thereto.

Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the

except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of
the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.),
payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person
entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note
Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this
Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any
Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of
any Note issued upon the registration of


                                       B-4
<PAGE>

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding

other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes
of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class C 6.35% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"CLASS C NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 18, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and Bank One, NA, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral
agent (the "TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT"), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

                  Principal of the Class C Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 6, 2001. The term
"DISTRIBUTION DATE," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

                  As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described
above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto.

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


                                       C-4
<PAGE>

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in
Columbus, Ohio.

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

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

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner,
the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the General
Partner, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes as
indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
franchise and any other income taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Bankers
Trust (Delaware) in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of


                                       C-6

binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The
Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of
Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                  This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class D 6.98% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"CLASS D NOTES"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 18, 2001 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "INDENTURE"),
between the Issuer and Bank One, NA, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral
agent (the "TRUST COLLATERAL AGENT"), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

                  Principal of the Class D Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 6, 2001. The term
"DISTRIBUTION DATE," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

                  As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described
above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class D Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class D Noteholders entitled thereto.

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


                                       D-5
<PAGE>

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in
Columbus, Ohio.

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

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

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner,
the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the General
Partner, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes as
indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
franchise and any other income taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Bankers
Trust (Delaware) in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of


                                       D-7
<PAGE>

binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The
Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of
Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and

The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note

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

                  Principal of the Class E Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "DISTRIBUTION DATE"
means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day,

                  As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this

Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described
above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and
payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class E Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.

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


                                       E-5

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a
Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in
Columbus, Ohio.

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

                  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on
the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i)
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible
guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which
requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents
Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may
be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for,
Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such
other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes
of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange. No Class E Note may be sold or transferred (including,
without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) if the sale or transfer thereof
increases to more than 99 the sum of (a) the number of Holders of the Class E
Notes and (b) the number of Certificateholders.

                  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
(i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner,
the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the General
Partner, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Seller, the Servicer, the General Partner, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity,


                                       E-6
<PAGE>

and (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of federal income,
state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Bankers
Trust (Delaware) in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications


                                       E-7

contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said
covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee
for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the
assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees
that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent
recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this
Note.
