Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer), the transferee

cash proceeds received by it upon the issuance of the Term Certificates.

            SECTION 2.06. Procedure for Decreasing the Invested Amount; Optional
Termination. (a) If, as of the last day of any period of three consecutive

1997-1 Invested Amount over the Series 1997-1 Adjusted Invested Amount (the
"Excess") equals or exceeds the Reduction Threshold, as of the last day of any
Settlement Period, the Company shall reduce the Class A Invested Amount, the
Class B Invested Amount and the Class C Invested Amount (a "Reduction"), by
causing the Trustee to distribute to the Term Certificateholders an amount (the
"Reduction Amount") equal to the Excess in accordance with subsection 3A.06(d).
The Company shall direct the Trustee in writing to make such distribution and
shall specify the Reduction Amount to be distributed as specified below. The
distribution of the Reduction Amount shall be made to the Term
Certificateholders pro rata based on the initial invested amount of each Class,
from funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Principal Collection Sub-subaccount
on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date (a "Special Distribution Date");
provided that no Early Amortization Event or Potential Early Amortization Event
has occurred and is continuing and the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company
shall have given the Trustee written notice of such Reduction and the related
Reduction Amount at least five days prior to the related Special Distribution
Date setting forth the Reduction Amount and, in the case of such notice to the
Trustee, instructions to not distribute to the Company any amounts pursuant to
subsection 3A.03(c)(i) until the condition set forth in the second proviso in
such subsection is satisfied. The Trustee shall provide written notice of any
proposed Reduction to the Term Certificateholders and each Rating Agency as
promptly as is reasonably practicable.

            (b) (i) On any Business Day to occur following the second
anniversary of the Issuance Date and prior to the
<PAGE>

                        Series 1997-1 Supplement                    38


occurrence of the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date, an Early Amortization
Event which has not been cured or waived or a Potential Early Amortization Event
which has not been cured or waived, the Company shall have the right to deliver
an irrevocable notice (an "Optional Termination Notice") to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer in which the Company declares that the Series 1997-1 Revolving
Period shall terminate on the date (the "Optional Termination Date") set forth
in such notice (which date, in any event, shall not be less than 10 days from
the date on which such notice is delivered).

          (ii) From and after the Optional Termination Date, the Series 1997-1
Amortization Period shall commence for all purposes under this Supplement and
the other Transaction Documents. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice of
its receipt of an Optional Termination Notice to the Term Certificateholders and
each Rating Agency.

            SECTION 2.07. Sale of Additional Term Certificates. (a) The Company
may, upon written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Term
Certificateholders and upon satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in
subsection (b) of this Section 2.07, direct the Trustee in writing to issue on
the following Distribution Date (each such date a "Subsequent Issuance Date")
additional Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates,
identical in all respects to the existing Class A Certificates, Class B
Certificates and Class C Certificates, in an aggregate principal amount
specified by the Company (pro rata based on the initial invested amount of each
Class) (except that the Certificate Rate applicable to such additional Class A
Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates may differ from the
Certificate Rate applicable to existing Class A Certificates, Class B
Certificates and Class C Certificates); provided that the Series 1997-1 Target
Receivables Amount does not exceed the Series 1997-1 Allocated Receivables
Amount, after giving effect to any

increase in the Invested Amount on such Subsequent Issuance Date.

            The Company may arrange for the sale of such additional Class A
Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates pursuant to a
private placement or any other sale arrangement; provided that the Company
agrees that it shall first offer to the existing Term Certificateholders the
opportunity to purchase such additional Class A Certificates, Class B
Certificates and Class C Certificates on substantially the same terms and
conditions that such additional Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates and
Class C Certificates are to be offered to other purchasers. If existing Class A
Certificateholders, Class B Certificateholders or Class C Certificateholders, as
the case may be, elect not to purchase all such additional Class A Certificates,
Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates within 10 Business Days following
their receipt of an offer therefor, the Company may proceed with its
arrangements to sell all such additional Class A Certificates, Class B
Certificates and Class C Certificates to any other eligible purchasers. In the
event that the existing Class A Certificateholders, Class B Certificateholders
or Class C Certificateholders, as the case may be, subscribe to purchase more
additional Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates
than are being offered by the Company at such time, then each such existing
Class A Certificateholder, Class B Certificateholder or Class C
Certificateholder shall be entitled to purchase a pro rata portion of such
additional Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates
based on the aggregate principal amount of Class A Certificates, Class B
Certificates or Class C Certificates then held by such holder. On each
Subsequent Issuance Date, if any, the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount (and each
other amount set forth herein, the calculation of which is based on such amount)
shall be recalculated by the Company to include the additional initial invested
amounts with respect to the Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class
C Certificates issued on such date.

      Pooling and Servicing Agreement to or for the benefit of the Term
      Certificateholders within five Business Days of the date such other amount
      is due;

            (b) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in
      any material respect any covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in
      any Pooling

      and Servicing Agreement (including each covenant contained in Sections
      2.07 and 2.08 of the Agreement) that continues unremedied 30 days after
      the earlier of (i) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Company
      or, so long as the Master Servicer is an Affiliate of the Company, a
      Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has knowledge of such failure
      and (ii) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
      same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee,
      or to the Company and the Trustee by holders of the Term Certificates
      evidencing 25% or more of the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount;

            (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the
      Company in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement to or for the benefit of
      the Term Certificateholders shall prove to have been incorrect in any
      material respect when made or when deemed made that continues to be
      incorrect 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which a Responsible
      Officer of the Company or, so long as the Master Servicer is an Affiliate
      of the Company, a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has knowledge
      of such failure and (ii) the date on which notice of such failure,
      requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by
      the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by holders of the Term

      and as a result of such incorrectness, the interests, rights or remedies
      of the Term Certificateholders have been materially and adversely
      affected; provided, however, that an Early Amortization Event with respect
      to Series 1997-1 shall not be deemed to have occurred under this paragraph
      if the incorrectness of such representation or warranty gives rise to an
      obligation to repurchase or make an adjustment payment in respect of the
      related Receivables and the Company has repurchased or made an adjustment
      payment in respect of the related Receivable

      than the Series 1997-1 Target Receivables Amount for any period of five
      consecutive Business Days;

            (h) any of the Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, this Supplement
      or the Receivables Sale Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be in
      full force and effect, or the Company, any Seller, any Servicer, the
      Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall so assert in writing;

            (i) the Trust shall for any reason cease to have a valid and
      perfected first priority undivided ownership or first priority security

      or Section 302(f) of ERISA applies unless there shall have been delivered
      to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies proof of the release of such Lien;

            (l) a Reduction shall have occurred and, as a result of such
      Reduction, the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount shall have been reduced to an
      amount below $75,000,000; or

            (m) (i) one or more judgments for the payment of money (to the

      of the Trustee) shall be rendered against the Company (A) in an aggregate
      amount greater than $50,000 or (B) that, individually or in the aggregate,
      have resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Company
      Material Adverse Effect or (ii) one or more judgments for the payment of

      applicable, with respect to one or more Servicers or Sellers, as
      applicable, that are responsible for servicing or originating, as the case

      case, the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive
      days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action
      shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon the assets or
      properties of the Company, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any Seller
      to enforce any such judgment;

then, in the case of (x) any event described in Section 7.01 of the Agreement,
automatically without any notice or action on the part of the Trustee or the
holders of the Term Certificates, an early amortization period shall immediately
commence or (y) an event described above, after the applicable grace period (if
any) set forth in the applicable subsection, the Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Majority Term Certificateholders voting as a single class
shall, by written notice then given to the Company and the Master Servicer,
declare that an early amortization period has commenced as of the date of such
notice with respect to Series 1997-1 (any such period under clause (x) or (y)
above an "Early Amortization Period"); provided, however, that in the case of
the event described in clause (e) above, if an Early Amortization Period has not
been declared within 10 Business Days from the occurrence of such event, then an
Early Amortization Period shall occur automatically unless, (i) prior to the end
of such 10 Business Day period, the Series 1997-1 Allocated Receivables Amount
shall no longer be less than the Series 1997-1 Target Receivables Amount and
(ii) so long as the Series 1997-1 Allocated Receivables Amount continues to be
equal to or greater than the Series 1997-1 Target Receivables Amount, Term
Certificateholders evidencing 66-2/3% or more of the Series 1997-1 Invested
Amount voting as a single class shall have waived the occurrence of such event.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure in performance
referred to in clause (a) above for a period of five Business Days after the
applicable grace period, or in clause (b) above for a period of 30 Business

                        Series 1997-1 Supplement                    64


Days after the applicable grace period, will not constitute an Early
Amortization Event if such delay or failure could not have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Company and such delay or failure was
caused by a Force Majeure Delay. The Company will nevertheless be required to
use its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance
with the terms of the Transaction Documents, and the Company shall promptly give
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate notifying it of any such delay or failure.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  Servicing Fee

            SECTION 6.01. Servicing Compensation. A monthly servicing fee (the
"Series 1997-1 Monthly Servicing Fee") shall be payable to the Master Servicer
on each Distribution Date for the preceding Settlement Period, in an amount
equal to the product of (a) the Servicing Fee and (b) a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be equal to the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount as of the end of
the second preceding Settlement Period and the denominator of which shall be
equal to the Aggregate Invested Amount as of the end of such second preceding
Settlement Period; provided, however, that, for the purpose of calculating the
Accrued Expense Adjustment on the last Business Day of any Accrual Period, such
calculation shall be based on the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount and Aggregate
Invested Amount as of the end of the most recent Settlement Period that has
elapsed. To the extent that funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Non-Principal
Collection Sub-subaccount at any such date are insufficient to pay the Series
1997-1 Monthly Servicing Fee due on such date as set forth in the Monthly
Settlement Statement delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall so notify the Company and the Company shall immediately pay the
Master Servicer the amount of any such deficiency.

      Class C Certificates on an "established securities market" within the
      meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code;

            (e) the Company will not cooperate in any way to facilitate, and the
      Company will affirmatively take any reasonable action to prevent any of
      the following of which a Responsible Officer of the Company has actual

no more frequently than on a monthly basis and such Restricted Payment is made

      year, each of which meets the following criteria: (x) such proposed
      additional Seller is, in the judgment of the Company as certified by the
      Company to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate, in the same line of
      business as the existing Sellers as of the related Seller Addition Date

      Addition Date, immediately prior to giving effect to such addition, the
      ratio (as determined by the Company and expressed as a percentage) of (I)
      the aggregate Principal Amount of what would constitute all Eligible
      Receivables of the proposed Seller if it were a Seller at the end of the
      Business Day immediately preceding the Seller Addition Date minus the
      amount which would constitute the Overconcentration Amount applicable to
      such Receivables on the Seller Addition Date if the proposed Seller were a
      Seller to (II) the Aggregate Receivables Amount on the Seller Addition
      Date (before giving effect to such addition), is less than five percent.

            (iii) The Company and the Trustee shall have received a certificate
      prepared by a Responsible Officer of each Servicer certifying that after
      giving effect to the addition of such Seller, the Aggregate Target
      Receivables Amount shall equal or exceed the Aggregate Allocated
      Receivables Amount on the related Seller Addition Date.

            (iv) The Trustee shall have notified the Company and each Rating
      Agency that a Standby Liquidation System is in place for such proposed

Section 9.14(b) thereof, nor shall any Seller which is the subject of such
request be terminated under the Receivables Sale Agreement, in each case unless
(i) no Early Amortization Event, Potential Early Amortization Event or Potential
Purchase Termination Event (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) (other
than with respect to the Seller to be so terminated) has occurred and is
continuing (both before and after giving effect to such termination) and (ii)
the Trustee shall have received prior written notice of such termination (which
notice shall be accompanied by a pro forma Daily Report confirming that the

(the "Class A Certificateholder") is the registered owner of a fractional
undivided interest in the assets of LFI Receivables Master Trust (the "Trust"),
created pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1996 (as
amended and restated on February 4, 1997 and as the same may from time to time
be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified thereafter, the
"Pooling Agreement"), by and among LFI Receivables Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), LFI Servicing Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and The Chase Manhattan Bank, a New
York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee
(in such capacity, the "Trustee") for the Trust, as supplemented by the Series

be requested by writing to the Trustee at The Chase Manhattan Bank, 450 W. 33rd
Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10011, Attention: Advanced Structured
Products Group. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

            This Class A Certificate is issued under, is entitled to the
benefits of, and is subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Class A Certificateholder by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and is bound.

            The Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Company, each Class A
Certificateholder and the Trustee intend, for federal, state and local income
and franchise tax purposes only, that the Class A Certificates be evidence of
indebtedness of the Company secured by the Trust Assets and that the Trust not
be characterized as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation. The Class A Certificateholder, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to
treat the Class A Certificates for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes as indebtedness of the Company.

            This Class A Certificate is one of a Class of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class A Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class A Certificates"). Concurrent with the issuance of the Class A
Certificates, the Trust will issue two other Classes of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class B Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class B Certificates") and "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class C
Certificates, Series 1997-1" (the "Class C Certificates", and together with the
Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the "Term Certificates"). The
Term Certificates represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust Assets,
consisting of the right to receive distributions specified in the Supplement out
of (i) the Series 1997-1 Invested Percentage (expressed as a decimal)
<PAGE>

                                                                               5


of the Collections received with respect to the Receivables and of all other
funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to the extent such interests
appear in the Supplement, all other funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1
Collection Subaccount and any subaccounts thereof (the "Series 1997-1
Certificateholders' Interest"). Concurrent with the issuance of the Term
Certificates, the Trust shall also issue a Subordinated Company Interest to the
Company representing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust Assets,
consisting of the right to receive the distributions specified in the Supplement
out of (i) the Series 1997-1 Invested Percentage (expressed as a decimal) of
Collections received with respect to the Receivables and all other funds on
deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to the extent such interests appear
in the Supplement, all other funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Collection
Subaccount and any subaccounts thereof, in each case to the extent not required
to be distributed to or for the benefit of the Term Certificateholders (the
"Series 1997-1 Subordinated Interest"). The Trust Assets are allocated in part
to the Term Certificateholders and the holders of the Series 1997-1 Subordinated
Interest with the remainder allocated to the Investor Certificateholders and the
holders of the Subordinated Company Interest of other Series and to the Company.
An Exchangeable Company Interest representing the Company's interest in the
Trust was issued to the Company pursuant to the Pooling Agreement on August 5,
1996. The Exchangeable Company Interest represents the interest in the Trust
Assets not represented by the Investor Certificates and Subordinated Company
Interest of each Outstanding Series. The Exchangeable Company Interest may be
decreased by the Company pursuant to the Pooling Agreement in exchange for an
increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates of an
Outstanding Series and an increase in the related Series Subordinated Company
Interest, or one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and the
related newly issued Series Subordinated Company Interest, upon the conditions
set forth in the Pooling Agreement.

            Interest on the Class A Invested Amount will be distributed to the
Class A Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The interest payable on
each Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class
A Certificate Rate for the related Accrual Period, (ii) the Class A Invested
Amount on the first day of such Accrual Period (after giving effect to any
distributions of principal on such date) and (iii) the actual number of days in
such Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest due but not paid on any
Distribution Date (the "Class-A Interest Shortfall") will be due on the next
Distribution Date, together with interest on such amount equal to the product,
for the Accrual Period succeeding such Accrual Period (or portion thereof) until
such Class A Interest Shortfall is paid, of (i) a rate per annum equal to the
Class A Certificate Rate for the next Accrual Period, (ii) such Class A Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class A
Certificateholders) and (iii) the actual number of days in such succeeding
Accrual Period divided by 360.

            On each Distribution Date during the Series 1997-1 Amortization
Period, a Series 1997-1 Monthly Principal Payment (rounded down to the nearest
$1,000,000 unless such payment is less than $1,000,000) shall be made from
amounts deposited into the Series 1997-1 Principal Collection Sub-subaccount
during the preceding Accrual Period (after the payment of any Servicing Fees due
to the Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Servicer), first, pro rata to
the Class A Certificateholders until repayment in full of the Class A Invested
Amount on such date, second, pro rata to the Class B Certificateholders until
repayment in full of the Class B Invested Amount on such date and third, pro
rata to the Class C Certificateholders until repayment in full of the Class C
Invested Amount on such date. The Class A Invested Amount may be otherwise
reduced by distributions to the Class A Certificateholders as set forth in the
Agreement.

(the "Class B Certificateholder") is the registered owner of a fractional

created pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1996 (as
amended and restated on February 4, 1997 and as the same may from time to time
be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified thereafter, the
"Pooling Agreement"), by and among LFI Receivables Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), LFI Servicing Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and The Chase Manhattan Bank, a New
York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee
(in such capacity, the "Trustee") for the Trust, as supplemented by the Series
1997-1 Supplement, dated as of February 4, 1997 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Supplement", collectively with the

entirety by the terms and provisions of the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement may be requested by writing
to the Trustee at The Chase Manhattan Bank, 450 W. 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New
York, New York 10011, Attention: Advanced Structured Products Group. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement.

            This Class B Certificate is issued under, is entitled to the
benefits of, and is subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Class B Certificateholder by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and is bound.

            The Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Company, each Class B
Certificateholder and the Trustee intend, for federal, state and local income
and franchise tax purposes only, that the Class B Certificates be evidence of
indebtedness of the Company secured by the Trust Assets and that the Trust not
be characterized as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation. The Class B Certificateholder, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to
treat the Class B Certificates for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes as indebtedness of the Company.

            This Class B Certificate is one of a Class of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class B Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class B Certificates"). Concurrent with the issuance of the Class B
Certificates, the Trust will issue two other Classes of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class A Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class A Certificates") and "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class C
Certificates, Series 1997-1" (the "Class C Certificates", and together with the
Class A Certificates and the Class B

Certificates, the "Term Certificates"). The Term Certificates represent
fractional undivided interests in the Trust Assets, consisting of the right to
receive distributions specified in the Supplement out of (i) the Series 1997-1
Invested Percentage (expressed as a decimal) of the Collections received with
respect to the Receivables and of all other funds on deposit in the Collection
Account and (ii) to the extent such interests appear in the Supplement, all
other funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Collection Subaccount and any
subaccounts thereof (the "Series 1997-1 Certificateholders' Interest").
Concurrent with the issuance of the Term Certificates, the Trust shall also
issue a Subordinated Company Interest to the Company representing a fractional
undivided interest in the Trust Assets, consisting of the right to receive the
distributions specified in the Supplement out of (i) the Series 1997-1 Invested
Percentage (expressed as a decimal) of Collections received with respect to the
Receivables and all other funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to
the extent such interests appear in the Supplement, all other funds on deposit
in the Series 1997-1 Collection Subaccount and any subaccounts thereof, in each
case to the extent not required to be distributed to or for the benefit of the
Term Certificateholders (the "Series 1997-1 Subordinated Interest"). The Trust
Assets are allocated in part to the Term Certificateholders and the holders of
the Series 1997-1 Subordinated Interest with the remainder allocated to the
Investor Certificateholders and the holders of the Subordinated Company Interest
of other Series and to the Company. An Exchangeable Company Interest
representing the Company's interest in the Trust was issued to the Company
pursuant to the Pooling Agreement on August 5, 1996. The Exchangeable Company
Interest represents the interest in the Trust Assets not represented by the
Investor Certificates and Subordinated Company Interest of each Outstanding
Series. The Exchangeable Company Interest may be decreased by the Company
pursuant to the Pooling Agreement in exchange for an increase in the Invested
Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates of an Outstanding Series and an
increase in the related Series Subordinated Company

Interest, or one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and the
related newly issued Series Subordinated Company Interest, upon the conditions
set forth in the Pooling Agreement.

            Interest on the Class B Invested Amount will be distributed to the
Class B Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The interest payable on
each Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class
B Certificate Rate for the related Accrual Period, (ii) the Class B Invested
Amount on the first day of such Accrual Period (after giving effect to any
distributions of principal on such date) and (iii) the actual number of days in
such Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest due but not paid on any
Distribution Date (the "Class B Interest Shortfall") will be due on the next
Distribution Date, together with interest on such amount equal to the product,
for the Accrual Period succeeding such Accrual Period (or portion thereof) until
such Class B Interest Shortfall is paid, of (i) a rate per annum equal to the
Class B Certificate Rate for the next Accrual Period, (ii) such Class B Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class B
Certificateholders) and (iii) the actual number of days in such succeeding
Accrual Period divided by 360.

            On each Distribution Date during the Series 1997-1 Amortization
Period, a Series 1997-1 Monthly Principal Payment (rounded down to the nearest
$1,000,000 unless such payment is less than $1,000,000) shall be made from
amounts deposited into the Series 1997-1 Principal Collection Sub- subaccount
during the preceding Accrual Period (after the payment of any Servicing Fees due
to the Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Servicer), first, pro rata to
the Class A Certificateholders until repayment in full of the Class A Invested
Amount on such date, second, pro rata to the Class B Certificateholders until

1997-1 Amortization Period and (ii) the date that any Investor Certificates of

entirety by the terms and provisions of the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement may be requested by writing
to the Trustee at The Chase Manhattan Bank, 450 W. 33rd Street, New York, New
York 10011, Attention: Advanced Structured Products Group. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Agreement.

            This Class C Certificate is issued under, is entitled to the
benefits of, and is subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Class C Certificateholder by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and is bound.

            The Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Company, each Class C
Certificateholder and the Trustee intend, for federal, state and local income
and franchise tax purposes only, that the Class C Certificates be evidence of
indebtedness of the Company secured by the Trust Assets and that the Trust not
be characterized as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation. The Class C Certificateholder, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to
treat the Class C Certificates for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes as indebtedness of the Company.

            This Class C Certificate is one of a Class of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class C Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class C Certificates"). Concurrent with the issuance of the Class C
Certificates, the Trust will issue two other Classes of Investor Certificates
entitled "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class A Certificates, Series 1997-1"
(the "Class A Certificates") and "LFI Receivables Master Trust, Class B
Certificates" (the "Class B Certificates", and together with the Class A
Certificates and the Class C Certificates, the "Term Certificates"). The Term
Certificates represent

fractional undivided interests in the Trust Assets, consisting of the right to
receive distributions specified in the Supplement out of (i) the Series 1997-1
Invested Percentage (expressed as a decimal) of the Collections received with
respect to the Receivables and of all other funds on deposit in the Collection
Account and (ii) to the extent such interests appear in the Supplement, all
other funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Collection Subaccount and any
subaccounts thereof (the "Series 1997-1 Certificateholders' Interest").
Concurrent with the issuance of the Term Certificates, the Trust shall also
issue a Subordinated Company Interest to the Company representing a fractional
undivided interest in the Trust Assets, consisting of the right to receive the
distributions specified in the Supplement out of (i) the Series 1997-1 Invested
Percentage (expressed as a decimal) of Collections received with respect to the
Receivable and all other funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to
the extent such interests appear in the Supplement, all other funds on deposit
in the Series 1997-1 Collection Subaccount and any subaccounts thereof, in each
case to the extent not required to be distributed to or for the benefit of the
Term Certificateholders (the "Series 1997-1 Subordinated Interest"). The Trust
Assets are allocated in part to the Term Certificateholders and the holder of
the Series 1997-1 Subordinated Interest with the remainder allocated to the
Investor Certificateholders and the holders of the Subordinated Company Interest
of other Series and to the Company. An Exchangeable Company Interest
representing the Company's interest in the Trust was issued pursuant to the
Pooling Agreement on August 5, 1996. The Exchangeable Company Interest
represents the interest in the Trust Assets not represented by the Investor
Certificates or Subordinated Company Interest of each Outstanding Series. The
Exchangeable Company Interest may be decreased by the Company pursuant to the
Pooling Agreement in exchange for an increase in the Invested Amount of a Class
of Investor Certificates of an Outstanding Series and an increase in the related
Series Subordinated Company Interest, or one or more newly issued Series of
Investor Certificates and the related

newly issued Series Subordinated Company Interest, upon the conditions set forth
in the Pooling Agreement.

            Interest on the Class C Invested Amount will be distributed to the
Class C Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. The interest payable on
each Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class
C Certificate Rate for the related Accrual Period, (ii) the Class C Invested
Amount on the first day of such Accrual Period (after giving effect to any
distributions of principal on such date) and (iii) the actual number of days in
such Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest due but not paid on any
Distribution Date (the "Class C Interest Shortfall") will be due on the next
Distribution Date, together with interest on such amount equal to the product,
for the Accrual Period succeeding such Accrual Period (or portion thereof) until
such Class C Interest Shortfall is paid, of (i) a rate per annum equal to the
Class C Certificate Rate for the next Accrual Period, (ii) such Class C Interest
Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class C
Certificateholders) and (iii) the actual number of days in such succeeding
Accrual Period divided by 360.

            On each Distribution Date during the Series 1997-1 Amortization
Period, a Series 1997-1 Monthly Principal Payment (rounded down to the nearest
$1,000,000 unless such payment is less than $1,000,000) shall be made from
amounts deposited into the Series 1997-1 Principal Collection Sub- subaccount
during the preceding Accrual Period (after the payment of any Servicing Fees due
to the Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Servicer), first, pro rata to
the Class A Certificateholders until repayment in full of the Class A Invested
Amount on such date, second, pro rata to the Class B Certificateholders until
repayment in full of the Class B Invested Amount on such date and, third, pro
rata to the Class C Certificateholders until repayment in full of the Class C
Invested Amount on such date. The Class C Invested Amount may be otherwise

being expressly waived by the parties who are signatories to the Agreement and
by any Person claiming by, through or under such parties; provided, however, the
