hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

                                       25

      (c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

      (d) The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and
delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer
Request to the Indenture Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of
such Notes and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Request.

      SECTION 2.3. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes,
the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes of the tenor of the
Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not
inconsistent with this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

      If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as if they were Definitive
Notes.

      SECTION 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The
Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for
the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Issuer
hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the initial "Note Registrar" for the
purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
or, if it is unable to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note
Registrar.

      If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as
the Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written
notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any
change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times, to obtain
copies thereof and to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note
Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the
Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

      The Indenture Trustee shall not register the transfer of any Note (other
than the transfer of a Note to the nominee of the Clearing Agency) unless the
transferee has executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certification
to the effect that either (i) the transferee is not

                                       26

<PAGE>

(a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) or (b) a plan
(as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975
of the Code (each of the foregoing, a "Benefit Plan"), and is not acting on
behalf of or investing the plan assets of a Benefit Plan, or (ii) the
transferee's acquisition and continued holding of the Note will not give rise to
a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any
substantially similar applicable law. Each transferee of a Book-Entry Note shall
be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations.

      (b) Subject to Section 2.4(a), upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided
in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC are met,
the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the
Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the
Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other new Notes of the same Class in any
authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of
the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC
are met, the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The Indenture Trustee
shall make a notation on any such new Note of the amount of principal, if any,
that has been paid on such Note.

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

      (d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Noteholder thereof or such Noteholder's 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 the Securities Transfer Agent's 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 Securities Exchange Act.

      (e) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee will
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or 9.5.

      SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. (a) If: (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to hold the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, respectively, harmless, then, in the

                                       27

<PAGE>

absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of the same Class and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding; 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 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 Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or
such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such
replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered
(or payment made) 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 Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

      (c) 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.

      (d) 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 Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) 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 neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a)
Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note that is
punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose

                                       28

<PAGE>

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. However, unless Definitive
Notes have been issued, 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. Notwithstanding the above, the
final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note (and except for
the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section
10.1) shall be payable as provided in clause (b)(ii). The funds represented by
any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section
6.16.

      (b) (i) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on
each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Principal Payable
Amount, Class B Monthly Principal Payable Amount or Class C Monthly Principal
Payable Amount, as the case may be, for such Payment Date and otherwise as
provided in Section 8.3.

                  (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire Outstanding
            Principal Balance shall be due and payable on: (A) the date on which
            an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the
            Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing not less than a
            majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have
            declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner
            provided in Section 5.2, and (B) if any Notes remain Outstanding,
            the Maturity Date.

                  (ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, no part of
            the principal of any Note shall be paid prior to the Payment Date on
            which such principal is due in accordance with the preceding
            provisions of this Section, except that the Issuer may redeem the
            Notes in their entirety in accordance with Section 10.1.

                  (iii) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose
            name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record
            Date preceding the Payment 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 no later than five days prior to
            such final Payment 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 installment.

                  (iv) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected
            by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date
            shall be binding upon all holders of such Note and of any Note
            issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
            therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted
            on such Note. All payments on the Notes shall be made without any
            requirement of presentment but each holder of any Note shall be
            deemed to agree, by its acceptance of the same, to surrender such
            Note at the Corporate Trust Office against payment of the final
            installment of principal of such Note.

                                       29

<PAGE>

      (c) (i) For each Payment Date, the interest due and payable with respect
to the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class
B Notes and as applicable, the Class C Notes will be the interest that has
accrued on the respective Notes since the last Payment Date or, in the case of
the first Payment Date, since the Closing Date, at the Class A-1 Interest Rate,
Class A-2 Interest Rate, Class A-3 Interest Rate, Class A-4 Interest Rate, Class
B Interest Rate and, as applicable, the Class C Interest Rate, respectively,
applied to the then Outstanding Principal Balances of the Class A-1 Notes, Class
A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes and, as applicable,
the Class C Notes, respectively, on the preceding Payment Date subject to
Section 3.1. With respect to the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes,
the interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the
applicable Interest Accrual Period and a 360 day year.

                  (ii) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the
            Notes, the Issuer shall pay, in any lawful manner, defaulted
            interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent
            lawful) at the applicable interest rate from the Payment Date for
            which such payment is in default. The Issuer shall pay such
            defaulted interest on a subsequent special payment date declared by
            the Issuer to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent
            special record date, which special record date shall be at least
            five Business Days prior to the special payment date. At least 15
            days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to
            each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the
            special payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be
            paid.

      (d) All payments made with respect to any Note shall be made in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts and shall be applied first to the
interest then due and payable on such Notes and then to the principal thereof.

      SECTION 2.8. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration
of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be
promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver
to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee in accordance
with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless
the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it;
provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been
previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

      SECTION 2.9. Book-Entry Notes. Each of the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes and the Class C 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), or its custodian, by, or
on behalf of, the Issuer. Each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the
Class C Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company as the initial Clearing

                                       30

<PAGE>

Agency, and no Class A Note Owner, Class B Note Owner or Class C Note Owner will
receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note,
except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") representing the Class A Notes, the
Class B Notes or the Class C Notes have been issued to the applicable Note
Owners:

                  (i) the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee,
            and their officers, directors, employees and agents may deal with
            the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of
            principal of and interest on the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes
            and the Class C Notes) as the sole Noteholder and shall have no
            obligations to the Note Owners;

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

                  (iii) the rights of the respective Note Owners shall be
            exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency
            Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and
            agreements between such respective Note Owners and the Clearing
            Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note
            Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued
            pursuant to Section 2.11, the Issuer intends that the Clearing
            Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
            Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
            interest on the related Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C
            Notes, as the case may be, to such Clearing Agency Participants (and
            neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any
            liability therefor); and

                  (iv) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
            taken based upon instructions, directions, or the consent of
            Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding
            Principal Balance of the Notes (or a Class of 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 (or Class of Notes) and has delivered such instructions to
            the Indenture Trustee.

      SECTION 2.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Class A Noteholders, Class B Noteholders or Class C
Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes
have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall give
all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.

      SECTION 2.11. Definitive Notes. (a) If: (i) the Issuer advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities under the Note Depository
Agreement with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) circumstances change so that the book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency is less advantageous due to economic or
administrative burden or

                                       31

<PAGE>

the use of the book-entry system becomes unlawful with respect to the Notes and
the Issuer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that because of the change
in circumstances the Issuer is terminating the book-entry system with respect to
the Notes or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency has
undertaken to notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten
Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration and transfer instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate, the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be
imposed upon and performed by the Issuer, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Notes, and the Issuer shall recognize the holders of the
relevant Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

      (b) Definitive Notes will not be eligible for clearing or settlement
through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

      SECTION 2.12. Notes owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates. In determining
whether the Noteholders of the required Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not
Outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Indenture
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes which a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

      SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use
"CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Indenture Trustee
shall indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of the Notes in notices of redemption and
related materials as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and
related materials.

      SECTION 2.14. Perfection Representations and Warranties. The parties
hereto agree that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Schedule 1 shall be a part of this Indenture for all purposes.

      SECTION 2.15. Notes to Constitute Indebtedness. The parties hereto agree
that it is their mutual intent that, for all applicable tax purposes, the Notes
will constitute indebtedness. Further, each party hereto and each Noteholder (by
accepting and holding a Note) hereby covenants to every other party hereto and
to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all applicable
tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and returns and otherwise, and further
covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take, or participate in
the taking

                                       32

<PAGE>

of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with the treatment of
the Notes as indebtedness for tax purposes. All successors and assignees of the
parties hereto shall be bound by the provisions hereof.

      SECTION 2.16. Determination of LIBOR. LIBOR ("LIBOR") applicable to the
calculation of the Interest Rates for the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class
C Notes for any Interest Accrual Period shall be determined on each LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date as follows:

      For any Interest Accrual Period, the rate, as obtained by the Indenture
Trustee, one-month United States dollar deposits which appears on the Dow Jones
Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London, England time, on the second
LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual Period (a
"LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date"). "Telerate Screen Page 3750" means the display
designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may
replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank
offered rates of major banks). With respect to a LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date on
which no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR for the applicable Interest
Accrual Period will be the rate calculated by the Indenture Trustee as the
arithmetic mean of at least two quotations obtained by the Indenture Trustee
after requesting the principal London offices of each of three major reference
banks in the London interbank market, which may include the Indenture Trustee
and its affiliates, as selected by the Indenture Trustee after consultation with
the Issuer, to provide the Indenture Trustee with its offered quotation for
deposits in U.S. dollars for a one-month period, commencing on the second London
Banking Day immediately prior to the applicable Interest Accrual Period, to
prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and in a principal amount approximately
equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes. If at least
two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two
quotations referred to in the preceding sentence above are provided, LIBOR
determined on the applicable LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date will be the rate
calculated by the Indenture Trustee as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted
at approximately 11:00 a.m. in New York on the applicable LIBOR Rate Adjustment
Date by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the Indenture
Trustee after consultation with the Issuer for loans in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks, having a maturity of one month, commencing on the second London
Banking Day prior to the applicable Interest Accrual Period, and in a principal
amount that is approximately equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Notes. If the banks so selected by the Indenture Trustee are not
quoting as provided above, LIBOR for the applicable LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date
will be LIBOR in effect on the preceding LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date.

      The establishment of LIBOR by the Indenture Trustee on any LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date and the Indenture Trustee's subsequent calculation of the Class
A-1 Interest Rate, the Class A-2 Interest Rate, the Class A-3 Interest Rate, the
Class A-4 Interest Rate, the Class B Interest Rate and the Class C Interest Rate
applicable to the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest
error, shall be final and binding.

      Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall supply the Issuer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such
date.

      SECTION 3.6. Opinions as to the Collateral. (a) On the Closing Date, the

supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as
are necessary to perfect and make effective the Lien 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 effective.

      (b) On or before April 1 in each calendar year, the Issuer shall furnish
to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the

supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as
is necessary to maintain the Lien of this Indenture and reciting the details of

necessary to maintain such Lien. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the
recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and the execution and
filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, that will, in
the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the Lien of this Indenture
until April 1 in the following calendar year.

      SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Loans. (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 material
covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the
Collateral 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 expressly provided in this Indenture,
the Servicing Agreement, Swap Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

      (b) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations
and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Related Documents and in
the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including filing or
causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements
required to be filed by this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement in accordance
with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

      (c) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will enforce the
obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and if a Servicer
Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its
duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with

                                       35

<PAGE>

respect to the Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it
to remedy such failure.

      (d) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that: (i) it shall promptly
exercise its rights to terminate the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the
Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in
clause (a) of such section and (ii) prior to exercising its rights to terminate
the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in clause (b) of such section, obtain
the consent of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Notes. Within thirty (30) days after the giving of
notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers
pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a
successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), such appointment to be reflected
by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the
event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its
appointment at the time when the previous Servicer ceases to act as Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed
the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by
giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will
be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective
until the date a Successor Servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the
Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the
Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall: (i) be
an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables and
(ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the
same provisions as the provisions of the Servicing Agreement applicable to the
Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer's
duties as servicer of the Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in its
individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and,
accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture
Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Loans.
In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as
Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be fully liable for
the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Successor
Servicer.

      (e) Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to
the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee
and Moody's. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall
notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the
name and address of such Successor Servicer.

      (f) The Issuer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least a majority of the
Outstanding Principal Balance, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or
surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination,
waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent
otherwise in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies) or the Related
Documents, or waive timely performance or observance by the Purchaser under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, the applicable Seller under the Sale Agreement or
the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, that, no such amendment or
waiver shall: (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate
or delay the timing of, deposits required to

                                       36

<PAGE>

be made to the Trust Accounts and payments that are required to be made from the
Trust Accounts for the benefit of the Noteholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of the Notes that are required to consent to any such amendment, in
either case without the consent of the Noteholders of all the Outstanding Notes.
If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented
to by the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders, the Issuer agrees, promptly
following a request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver,
in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents
and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate
in the circumstances.

      (g) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and
at the Issuer's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance
by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the
Servicing Agreement or by the Purchaser of its obligations to the Issuer under
or in connection with the Purchase and Sale 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
Servicing Agreement (or under or in connection with the Purchase and Sale
Agreement) to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Servicer or
the Purchaser thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions
or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Servicer or the Purchaser
of each of their obligations under the Servicing Agreement or the Purchase and
Sale Agreement.

      SECTION 3.8. Taxes. The Issuer shall pay all taxes when due and payable or
levied against its assets, properties or income, including any property that is
part of the Collateral.

      SECTION 3.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to
the Indenture Trustee, on or before March 15 after the end of each calendar year
of the Issuer (commencing with the calendar year 2005), an Officers'
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, stating that:

                  (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year
            and of performance under this Indenture has been made under such

                  (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officers' knowledge, based
            on such review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and
            covenants under this Indenture throughout such year or, if there has
            been a default in the compliance of any such condition or covenant,
            specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officers and
            the nature and status thereof.

      SECTION 3.10. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding,
the Issuer shall not:

      (a) sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties
or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Collateral, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture or Section 6.2 of the Sale Agreement;

against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes
levied or assessed upon any part of the Collateral;

      (c) engage in any business or activity other than in connection with, or

            amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of

            Issuer deliver to the Indenture Trustee all Loan Files (in which
            event the Issuer covenants to make demand upon the Servicer to so
            deliver such Loan Files); and

            in connection with the Servicing Agreement and the Purchase and Sale
            Agreement, including the right or power to terminate or to take any
            action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer
            or the Purchaser of each of their obligations to the Issuer
            thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction,
            approval, extension or waiver under the Servicing Agreement or the
            Purchase and Sale Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take
            such action shall be suspended.

      (b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been

obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Noteholders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Principal Balance, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

                  (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture

            principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
            acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.9.

      No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto.

      (c) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person
having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under
Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State

property or such other Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial
Proceedings relative to the Issuer, or to the creditors or property of the
Issuer, the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to this Section) shall be entitled and empowered to, and, at the
direction (which

                                       43

<PAGE>

direction shall be in writing) of the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.8 by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

                  (i) 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 Indenture Trustee
            (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
            Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
            agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses
            and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture
            Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result
            of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such
            Proceedings;

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

            Swap Counterparty, Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in
            any judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and
            its property;

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

      (d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
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 Noteholder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture 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.

      (e) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Notes or the Swap Agreement, may be enforced by the Indenture

any trial or other Proceedings relative

                                       44

<PAGE>

thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee
shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and
compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty as provided in this Indenture.

      (f) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty, and it shall
not be necessary to make any Noteholder or the Swap Counterparty a party to any
such Proceedings.

      SECTION 5.3. [Reserved].

      SECTION 5.4. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, each
Noteholder 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 Noteholder.

      SECTION 5.5. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee
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 Indenture Trustee or to such
Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 5.6. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Notes in Section 2.5(d), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Indenture Trustee 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 5.7. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder 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 or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.

                                       45

<PAGE>

      SECTION 5.8. Control by Noteholders. (a) Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Indenture, the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes shall have the right to (i) direct
the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available
to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, (ii) accelerate the Notes
pursuant to Section 5.2 after an Event of Default or (iii) exercise any trust or
power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such direction shall
not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; provided,
further, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability on the part of the
Indenture Trustee for which the Indenture Trustee is not indemnified to its
satisfaction or might materially adversely affect the rights of any
Noteholder(s) not consenting to such action. The Indenture Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction.

      (b) No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

                  (ii) the Noteholder(s) of not less than 66-2/3% of the
            Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have made written request
            to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of
            such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
            hereunder;

                  (iii) such Noteholder(s) have offered to the Indenture Trustee
            indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee against the
            costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with
            such request;

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

                  (v) so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, no
            direction by other Noteholders inconsistent with such written
            request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day
            period by the Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal
            Balance of the Notes;

                  (vi) with respect to any bankruptcy reorganization,
            arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or similar
            proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or
            similar law, the Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3% of
            the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes that
            remains Outstanding has consented thereto in writing; provided that
            the foregoing shall not in anyway limit the Noteholder's rights to
            pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that the Noteholders
            may have for claims against the Issuer;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholder(s) shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb

                                       46

<PAGE>

or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholder or to obtain or to seek to
obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholder(s) or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the other Noteholders. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to
petition a court for the removal of an Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8
hereof.

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

      SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or
decree for payment of amounts due has been obtained as described in Section 5.2,
the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance
of the Notes 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 that cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of each Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of 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 impair any right consequent thereto.

      SECTION 5.10. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree
(and each Noteholder by such Noteholder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to
have agreed) that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney's fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to: (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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 5.11. 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

                                       47

<PAGE>

of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

      SECTION 5.12. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of
the assets of the Issuer. Any funds or other property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.3(d).

      SECTION 5.13. [Reserved]

      SECTION 5.14. Sale of Collateral. (a) The power to effect any sale of any
portion of the Collateral described pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not be
exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining
unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have
been sold or all amounts due under this Indenture have been paid in full. The
Indenture Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with
Section 5.8, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time
and place of such sale. For any public sale of the Collateral, the Indenture
Trustee shall have provided each Noteholder and Moody's with notice of such sale
at least two weeks in advance of such sale which notice shall specify the date,
time and location of such sale.

      (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall
not in any private sell to a third party the Collateral, or any portion thereof
unless,

                  (i) the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then
            Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes consent to or direct the
            Indenture Trustee in writing to make such sale; or

                  (ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum
            of all amounts due under this Indenture.

      (c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral:

                  (i) any one or more Noteholders may bid for and purchase the
            property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of
            sale may hold, retain, and possess and dispose of such property,
            without further accountability, and any Noteholder may, in paying
            the purchase price therefore, deliver in lieu of cash any
            Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for credit in the
            amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such
            sale, be payable thereon, and the Notes, in case the amounts so
            payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
            returned to the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped to
            show such partial payment;

                                       48

<PAGE>

                  (ii) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
            agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey any
            portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof, and to
            take all action necessary to effect such sale;

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an
            appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring, without
            representation, warranty or recourse, any portion of the Collateral
            in connection with a sale thereof;

                  (iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound
            to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the
            satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application
            of any funds; and

                  (v) the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate
            the Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of
            Default described in Sections 5.1(i) or (ii), unless the applicable
            conditions in this Section 5.14 are met and: (A) all the Noteholders
            direct in writing a sale or liquidation of the Collateral, (B)(i)
            the Indenture Trustee determines, based on a certification of the
            Issuer, that the anticipated proceeds of such sale or liquidation
            (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or
            liquidation), based on a certificate of the Issuer, would be
            sufficient to discharge in full all amounts due and unpaid upon such
            Notes and other amounts payable pursuant to Sections 8.3(d) and (ii)
            the Noteholders acting unanimously do not direct in writing the
            Indenture Trustee to the contrary within fifteen days of receipt of
            notice of such determination by the Indenture Trustee or (C) the
            Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue
            to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
            interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had
            not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains
            the consent of Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal
            Balance of the Notes. In determining whether to sell or hold the
            Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may obtain and rely upon an
            opinion of any Independent investment banking or accounting firm of
            national reputation in the United States as to the feasibility of
            such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral to
            discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for
            principal and interest.

      (d) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any
portion of the Collateral shall be commercially reasonable.

      (e) The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to restrict the
ability of the Indenture Trustee to exercise any rights and powers against the
Issuer or the Collateral that are vested in the Indenture Trustee by this
Indenture, including, without limitation, the power of the Indenture Trustee to
proceed against the collateral subject to the lien of this Indenture and to
institute judicial proceedings for the collection of any deficiency remaining
thereafter.

      (f) The purchase price received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of any
sale made in accordance with this Section shall be deemed conclusive and binding
on the parties hereto and the Noteholders and the proceeds of such sale shall be
applied in accordance with Section 8.3(d).

                                   ARTICLE VI
                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

      SECTION 6.1. Duties of the Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their 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 actually known to
a Responsible Officer:

                  (i) the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee; and

                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture
            Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
            the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates
            or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
            requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, in the case of
            any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
            specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the
            Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to
            determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
            Indenture.

      (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Indenture Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
            of an Event of Default or Servicer Default unless a Responsible
            Officer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Indenture
            Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Issuer or
            Note Owners owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the
            Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes; and

                  (v) the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the
            performance of the Issuer or its agents, nor shall it have any
            liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the
            Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection
            with compliance of the Issuer or its agents with statutory

                                       50

<PAGE>

            or regulatory requirements related to the Loans. The Indenture
            Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations
            or warranties with respect to the Loans or the validity or
            sufficiency of any assignment of the Loans to the Collateral or the
            Indenture Trustee.

      (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section
6.1.

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

      (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments
of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense is not reasonably assured to it.

      (g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to this Section and the
TIA.

      (h) The Indenture Trustee:

                  (i) shall at all times be a "participant" (as such term is
            defined in the Federal Book-Entry Regulations) in the Federal
            Reserve System;

                  (ii) shall, to the extent that any of the Trust Accounts is a
            Securities Account, comply with all of the obligations of a
            Securities Intermediary under Article 8 of the UCC with respect
            thereto; and

                  (iii) agrees that each item of property including cash
            received by it for deposit in or credit to a Trust Account, and each
            investment made by it pursuant to Section 8.6 shall constitute and
            be treated by it as a Financial Asset.

      (i) No person other than the Indenture Trustee as provided herein and the
Custodian as approved in the Custody and Control Agreement, shall have "control"
(as such term is defined in Section 8-106 of Article 8 of the UCC and Section
9-401 of Article 9 of the UCC) of any of the Trust Accounts.

      SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.1:

                  (i) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
            fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
            resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
            notice, request, direction, consent, order, note, debenture, other
            evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
            to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
            party or parties (and the Indenture Trustee need not investigate any
            fact or matter stated in the document);

                                       51

<PAGE>

                  (ii) any request or direction or action of the Issuer
            mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Order;

                  (iii) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
            Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
            established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action
            hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein
            specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its
            part, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

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

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

                  (vi) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any
            investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
            certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
            request, direction, consent, order, note, debenture, other evidence
            of indebtedness, or other paper or document, but the Indenture
            Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
            investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
            the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry
            or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records
            and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney;

                  (vii) the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
            powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
            by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the
            Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
            negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee
            appointed with due care by it hereunder;

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

                  (ix) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any
            bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and
            duties hereunder;

                  (x) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or
            inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants,
            conditions or agreements on the part of the Issuer;

                                       52

<PAGE>

                  (xi) the permissive rights of the Indenture Trustee to do
            things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty
            and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its
            gross negligence or willful default; and

                  (xii) in the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting
            as Paying Agent or Note Registrar hereunder, the rights and
            protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
            Article VI shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Note
            Registrar.

      (b) The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Indenture
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except to the extent provided
by the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication on the Notes. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Issuer of the proceeds of the Notes.

      SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity,
become the owner of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying
Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like
rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.13.

      SECTION 6.4. Funds Held in Trust. Funds and investments and other property
held by the Indenture Trustee shall be segregated and held in one or more Trust
Accounts held with the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

      SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and
is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to
each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it 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 Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

      SECTION 6.6. [Reserved]

      SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the
Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services
hereunder as the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing (which
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust). The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee upon its
request, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the

                                       53

<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold
them harmless against any and all loss, liability or expense (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by them in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of their duties
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer with a copy to the
Servicer, promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its
obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indenture
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

      The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.1(iv), 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.

      The Indenture Trustee agrees not to institute (alone or in conjunction
with any other Person) against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings under U.S. federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws on account of
the non-payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section
6.7, until after the balance of each Note is reduced to zero and the expiration
of a period equal to the longest applicable preference period under such
bankruptcy laws and other applicable laws plus 366 days following such payment;
provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall preclude, or be deemed to estop,
the Indenture Trustee from taking any action prior to the expiration of the
applicable preference period in any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or
commenced against the Issuer by a Person other than the Indenture Trustee or to
otherwise limit any claims that the Indenture Trustee may have against the
Issuer. The foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee to
take any action in accordance with Section 5.2.

      SECTION 6.8. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. No
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section. The
Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing.
The Noteholders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee
in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall
remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

                                       54

<PAGE>

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

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

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

      If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

      Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall
have no liability for any act or omission by any successor Trustee.

      SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Issuer prior written notice of
any such transaction; provided, that such corporation or banking association
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.

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

      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

                                       55

<PAGE>

requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the
time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Person(s) to act as
co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s) for the benefit of the Noteholders, and to
vest in such Person(s), in such capacity all rights hereunder with respect to
the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.8.

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

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

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

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the
            resignation of or remove, in its sole discretion, any separate
            trustee or co-trustee.

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

      (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee as 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, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the

                                       56

<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a
new or successor trustee.

      (e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a
co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Collateral may be located.

      SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall
at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a) and Section 26(a)(1)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. There shall at all times be
an Indenture Trustee hereunder which shall (a) be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers; (b) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition; (c) be
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority; and (d) at
the time of appointment, shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt rating of
"Baa3" or better by Moody's (or, if not rated by Moody's, a comparable rating by
another statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second
sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under
which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for
such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

      If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

      This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of Section 310(a)(1) of the TIA. The Trustee is subject to the provisions of
Section 310(b) of the TIA regarding disqualification of a trustee upon acquiring
any conflicting interest.

      If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is
deemed to have a conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for each
of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, a successor
Indenture Trustee shall be appointed for one or all of such Classes, so that
there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes and the Class C Notes. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the
Class A Noteholders, Class B Noteholders or Class C Noteholders under this
Indenture or any other Related Document. However, so long as any amounts remain
unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the
Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under this
Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.2 and to the right
of the Class B Noteholders and Class C Noteholders to receive their share of any
proceeds of enforcement) and thereafter so long as any amounts remain unpaid
with respect to the Class B Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class B
Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under the Indenture (but
subject to the right of the Class C Noteholders to receive their share of any
proceeds of enforcement). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full, all
rights

                                       57

<PAGE>

to exercise remedies under this Indenture will transfer to the Indenture Trustee
for the Class B Notes and, upon payment of the Class B Notes in full, all rights
to exercise remedies under this Indenture will transfer to the Indenture Trustee
for the Class C Notes.

      In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee
with respect to any Class of Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee
and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein the successor
Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class
to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if
the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of
Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the
retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee,
it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each
such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein.

      SECTION 6.12. Acceptance by Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee
hereby acknowledges the grant of a Lien on the Collateral and the receipt of a
Lien on the assets constituting the Collateral granted by the Issuer hereunder
and declares that the Indenture Trustee, through a custodian, will hold such
Lien on the Collateral granted by the Issuer in trust, for the use and benefit
of all Noteholders subject to the terms and provisions hereof.

      SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

      SECTION 6.14. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. To the extent
required by the TIA, within 60 days after each December 20 (beginning in 2005),
following the date of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the
Noteholders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with
TIA Section 313(a), if such a report is required pursuant to TIA Section 313(a).
The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Indenture
Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section
313(c).

      A copy of each such report required under TIA Section 313 shall, at the
time of such transmission to Noteholders be filed with the Commission and with
each stock exchange or other market system on which the Notes are listed. The
Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing if the Notes become listed
on any stock exchange or market trading system.

      SECTION 6.15. Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby
represents that:

            (a) the Indenture Trustee is duly organized and validly existing as
      a New York banking corporation in good standing under the laws of New York
      with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business
      as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently
      conducted;

            (b) the Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to execute and
      deliver this Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the execution,
      delivery and performance of this Indenture have been duly authorized by
      the Indenture Trustee by all necessary corporate action;

            (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Indenture and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with,
      result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute
      (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under the articles of
      incorporation or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee or to the best of the
      Indenture Trustee's knowledge, any material agreement or other instrument
      to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; and

            (d) to the best of the Indenture Trustee's knowledge, there are no
      proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any court,
      regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
      instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee or its
      properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking
      to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
      this Indenture or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might
      materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee
      of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
      Indenture.

      SECTION 6.16. The Paying Agent. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture
Trustee as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable
with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the
Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.3(b), (c) or (d) or from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be made on behalf of the
Issuer by the Paying Agent.

      The Paying Agent hereby agrees that subject to the provisions of this
Section, it shall:

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

                                       59

<PAGE>

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

                  (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
            the Indenture Trustee any 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 Paying Agent; and

                  (v) comply with all requirements of the Code and any
            applicable State law 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 Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee any sums held in trust
by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

      Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any amounts
held by the Indenture Trustee or any 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 the related Noteholder 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 Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust funds shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in
a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that
such funds remain 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 funds then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture
Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other
reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of
such repayment to Noteholders whose Notes have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and
payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture
Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Noteholder).

      Each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent) shall be appointed
by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying
Agent appointed by the Issuer shall be a Person who would be eligible to be
Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided in Section 6.11. The Issuer shall not
appoint any Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) which is not, at the
time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company, including
the Indenture Trustee, that (a) is incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or any State thereof, (b) is subject to supervision and
examination by federal or state

                                       60

banking authorities and (c) has outstanding unsecured commercial paper or other
short-term unsecured debt obligations that are rated "A-1+" by S&P or "Prime-1"
by Moody's (or its equivalent).

      SECTION 6.17. Repayment of Amounts Held by Paying Agent. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes,
all funds then held by any Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee under
this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be
paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 4.1,
and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such funds.

      SECTION 6.18. Provisions of Swap Agreement. The Issuer has entered into
the Swap Agreement with the Swap Counterparty, in a form satisfactory to the
Rating Agencies. The Issuer may, from time to time, enter into one or more
replacement Swap Agreement in the event that the Swap Agreement is terminated
prior to its scheduled expiration pursuant to a Swap Event of Default or a Swap
Termination Event.

      Upon the occurrence of (i) any Swap Event of Default arising from any
action taken, or failure to act, by the Swap Counterparty, or (ii) any Swap
Termination Event (except as described in the following sentence) with respect
to which the Swap Counterparty is an Affected Party (as defined in the Swap
Agreement), the Indenture Trustee may and will, at the direction of the holders
of at least 51% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and
the Class C Notes, acting together as a single Class, direct the Issuer to
designate an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement) with
respect to the Swap Agreement and the Issuer shall upon such direction designate
an Early Termination Date. If a Swap Termination Event occurs as a result of the
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Swap Counterparty, the Indenture Trustee will
direct the Issuer to designate an Early Termination Date and the Issuer shall
upon such direction designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to the Swap
Agreement.

      The Swap Counterparty shall not have any voting rights or rights to
exercise any remedies under this Indenture until after the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes has been reduced to zero and the Noteholders have been paid
all mounts owed to them under this Indenture. After the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes has been reduced to zero and the Noteholders have been paid
all amount owed to them under this Indenture, the Swap Counterparty shall have
all of the rights and obligations, including all voting rights, of the
Noteholders set forth in this Indenture. Such voting rights shall be exercisable
at any time by the Swap Counterparty based upon the notional amount outstanding
under the Swap Agreement at such time.

Trustee: (a) not more than five days after the earlier of: (i) each Record Date
and (ii) three months after the last Record Date, a list, in such form as the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names

                                       61

<PAGE>

and addresses of the Noteholders as of such Record Date, and (b) at such other
times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after
receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as
of a date not more than 10 days prior to the time such list is furnished;
provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar,
no such list shall be required to be furnished.

      SECTION 7.2. Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.
(a) The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of the Noteholders contained in the most
recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and
the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its
capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished
to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

      (b) Three or more Noteholders, or one or more Noteholder(s) evidencing at
least 25% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, may communicate
pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their
rights under this Indenture or under the Notes.

      (c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have
the protection of TIA Section 312(c).

      SECTION 7.3. Reports by Issuer. (a) The Issuer shall:

                  (i) file with the Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after the
            Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of
            the annual reports and of the information, documents and other
            reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the
            Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe)
            that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant
            to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act or, if the
            Issuer is not required to file with the Commission information,
            documents or reports pursuant to either Section 13 or Section 15(d)
            of the Securities Exchange Act, then the Issuer will file with the
            Indenture Trustee and with the Commission, in accordance with rules
            and regulations prescribed by the Commission, such of the
            supplementary and period information, documents and reports required
            pursuant to securities exchange as may be prescribed in such rules
            and regulations;

                  (ii) file with the Commission, in accordance with the rules
            and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such
            additional information, documents and reports with respect to
            compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this
            Indenture (with a copy of any such filings being delivered promptly
            to the Indenture Trustee); and supply to the Indenture Trustee (and
            the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders
            described in TIA Section 313(c)) such summaries of any information,
            documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to
            clauses (i) and (ii) as may be required by the rules and regulations
            prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

      Unless the Issuer otherwise determines, the fiscal year of the Issuer
shall end on December 31 of each year.

      SECTION 7.4. De-Listing of Definitive Notes. If as of the beginning of any
fiscal year for the Issuer (other than fiscal year 2004), the Definitive Notes
are held (directly or, in the case of Book Entry Notes held through the Clearing
Agency) by less than 300 Noteholders and/or Clearing Agency participants having
accounts with the Clearing Agency, the Issuer shall, in accordance with the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, timely file a
Form 15 with respect to the Issuer suspending all reporting requirements under
the Securities Exchange Act.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      ACCOUNTS, DISBURSEMENTS AND RELEASES

      SECTION 8.1. Collection of Amounts Due. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and
shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of
any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all sums and other property payable to
or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee shall apply all such amounts received by it as provided in this
Indenture. Amounts properly withdrawn by the Issuer pursuant to Section 8.3 of
this Indenture shall be deemed released from the Collateral and the security
interest therein granted to the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer shall in no
event thereafter be required to refund any such withdrawn amounts. To the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in any of the Trust Accounts (as defined
below), the Issuer shall invest all such amounts in Permitted Investments
selected by the Issuer that mature no later than the immediately succeeding
Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date.

      SECTION 8.2. Trust Accounts. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Issuer covenants to have established and shall thereafter maintain the following
accounts with the Indenture Trustee (the "Trust Accounts"), which accounts shall
be Eligible Deposit Accounts:

                  (i) Collection Account;

                  (ii) Note Distribution Account; and

                  (iii) Reserve Account.

      (b) If any Trust Account is a Securities Account, such Trust Account will
be maintained in accordance with the Custody and Control Agreement.

      (c) If any Trust Account is a Deposit Account: (i) If, at any time, any
such Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Issuer shall
within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days,
as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an
Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments held
in the no-longer Eligible Deposit Account to such new Trust Account; and

                                       63

<PAGE>

                  (ii) the Issuer and Indenture Trustee agree, as security for
            the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture, that:

                  (A) any Trust Account Property that constitutes, or is held
            through or in, a Deposit Account shall be, or shall be held through
            or in, an Eligible Deposit Account continuously identified in the
            deposit bank's books and records as subject to a security interest
            of the Indenture Trustee and, except as maybe expressly provided
            herein to the contrary, in order to perfect the security interest of
            the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 9.104 of the UCC,
            the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to direct disposition of
            the funds in such Deposit Account without further consent by the
            Issuer; provided, however, that prior to delivery by the Indenture
            Trustee to the Issuer of notice otherwise, the Issuer shall have the
            right to direct the disposition of funds in such Deposit Account;
            provided, further that the Indenture Trustee agrees that it will not
            deliver such notice or exercise its power to direct disposition of
            the funds in such Deposit Account until an Event of Default has
            occurred; and

                  (B) all Permitted Investments and other investments shall be
            held by the Custodian in accordance with the Custody and Control
            Agreement and shall be subject to the Indenture Trustee's security
            interest in such Trust Property.

      SECTION 8.3. Priority of Payments. (a) On each Payment Date prior to an
Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, after the payment to the
Servicer of any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement of any
Servicing Advances, from any amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account on the
related Transfer Date and Available Amounts, payments shall be made in the
following order of priority:

                  (i) to the Indenture Trustee, amounts payable to the Indenture
            Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture for the related
            Collection Period, provided that, except after the occurrence and
            during the continuance of an Event of Default, the aggregate amounts
            payable other than in respect of fees shall not exceed $75,000
            during any calendar year;

                  (ii) to the Administrator, the Administration Fee and all
            unpaid Administration Fees from prior Collection Periods in
            accordance with the Administration Agreement;

                  (iii) to the Swap Counterparty any Swap Payments Outgoing in
            accordance with the Swap Agreement;

                  (iv) to pay with the same priority and ratably in proportion
            to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes and the
            amount of any Swap Termination Payment due and payable by the Issuer
            to the Swap Counterparty:

                        (1) to the Note Distribution Account, the Monthly
                  Interest Amount Payable on the Class A Notes; and

                                       64

<PAGE>

                        (2) to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Termination
                  Payments payable to the Swap Counterparty upon the termination
                  of the Swap Agreement; provided that if any amounts allocable
                  to the Class A Notes are not needed to pay interest due on
                  such Class A Notes as of such Payment Date, such amounts will
                  be applied to pay the portion, if any, of any Swap Termination
                  Payment remaining unpaid;

                  (v) to the Note Distribution Account, the Monthly Interest
            Amount Payable on the Class B Notes;

                  (vi) to the Note Distribution Account, the Monthly Interest
            Amount Payable on the Class C Notes;

            Principal Payable Amount;

Investments are not required to be invested overnight.

      (b) The Issuer shall ensure that, in connection with any investment of any
funds or any sale of any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts, the Lien

Permitted Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the
Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments
issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor
and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. The Indenture Trustee shall
have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation
of any Permitted Investment prior to its stated maturity.

      (d) (i) If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared
due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or, (ii) if the Notes shall have been
declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or
receivable from the Collateral are being applied in accordance with Section
8.3(d) as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Issuer shall, to
the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts
in the Permitted Investments identified in clause (d) of the definition of

authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to
the application of any funds.

      (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7
have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Collateral that secured the
Notes and the Swap Agreement from the Lien of this Indenture.

Indenture pursuant to this Section only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
requesting such release accompanied by an Officers' Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with
TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section

      SECTION 8.8. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at
least seven days' notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action
pursuant to Section 8.7(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved,
and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an
Opinion of Counsel stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the
steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions
precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action
will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention 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 Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection
with any such action.

class thereof and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

      (g) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture
under the TIA or under any similar Federal statute hereafter enacted and to add
to this Indenture such 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.

      SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, with
prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the
Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes, by Act of such Noteholders delivered to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Noteholders under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the
Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Swap Counterparty, without the consent of the Swap
Counterparty; and, provided further, that no such supplemental indenture shall,
as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of a
Noteholder, without the consent of such Noteholder affected thereby:

      (a) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or
interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate
thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of
this Indenture relating to the application of

                                       73

<PAGE>

collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Collateral to the payment of
principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or
the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or
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 or after the respective due
dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

      (b) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance, the
consent of the Noteholders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture, or the consent of the Noteholders 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;

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

      (d) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance required to
direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the
Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2;

      (e) 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 Related Documents cannot be modified or waived without the
consent of the Noteholder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

      (f) 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 Payment 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

      (g) 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 Collateral or, except
as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the Lien of this
Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive any Noteholder
of the security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

      It shall not be necessary for any Act of the 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. The
manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders
provided for in this Indenture or in any other Related Document) and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may provide.

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

                                       74

<PAGE>

      SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and,
subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture 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 and the Swap Agreement affected thereby, and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under
this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Swap Counterparty and
the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms
and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

      SECTION 9.5. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

      SECTION 9.6. 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 TIA as then in effect so long as this
Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

                                    ARTICLE X
                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

      SECTION 10.1. Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption in whole,
but not in part, on or after any Payment Date on which the aggregate Pool
Balance (calculated as of the end of the related Collection Period) first
becomes less than 10% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date and for a
purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the Issuer
has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price following the
exercise by the Purchaser of the clean up call set forth in Section 6.1 of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice
of such redemption. If such Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section,
the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Indenture Trustee not
later than 25 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit in
the Note Distribution Account the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed.

                                       75

<PAGE>

      SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under
Section 10.1 shall be given by the Issuer by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than five days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each
Noteholder, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the
applicable Redemption Date, at such Noteholder's address appearing in the Note
Register.

      All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price;

                  (iii) 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) the CUSIP numbers of the Notes being redeemed.

      Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any
Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any
other Note.

      SECTION 10.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption pursuant to this
Article, become due and payable on the Redemption Date 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
written application or request (or oral application with prompt written or
telecopied confirmation) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any
action under this Indenture, other than any request that (i) the Indenture
Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such request, or (ii) the Indenture
Trustee pay amounts due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer's
assignee specified in such request, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee: (1) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, (2) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (3)
(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 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:

                                       76

<PAGE>

            (w) 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;

            (x) 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;

            (y) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such
      signatory has made (or has caused to be 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

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

      (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee an Officers'
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
            Indenture Trustee an Officers' Certificate described in clause (i),
            the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
            Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value to
            the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be
            so deposited and of all other such Collateral or other property or
            securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the
            commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set
            forth in the certificates required by clause (i) and this clause
            (ii), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
            Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished with respect to
            any Collateral or other property or securities so deposited if the
            fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related
            Officers' Certificate is less than $1,000,000 or less than one
            percent of the then Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.

                  (iii) Other than with respect to property as contemplated by
            clause (v), whenever any Collateral or other property or securities
            are to be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
            also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officers' 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 Collateral or other 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.

                                       77

<PAGE>

                  (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
            Indenture Trustee an Officers' Certificate described in clause
            (iii), the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
            Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value to
            the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities and of
            all other such Collateral or other property, other than property as
            contemplated by clause (v), or securities released from the Lien of
            this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current fiscal
            year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates required by
            clause (iii) and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the
            Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, but such certificate
            need not be furnished in the case of any release of Collateral or
            other property or securities if the fair value thereof to the Issuer
            as set forth in the related Officers' Certificate is less than
            $1,000,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding
            Principal Balance of the Notes.

                  (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
            Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of
            the other provisions of this Section: (A) collect, liquidate, sell
            or otherwise dispose of Loans and Equipment as and to the extent
            permitted or required by the Related Documents and (B) make cash
            payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or
            required by the Related Documents so long as the Issuer shall
            deliver to the Indenture Trustee every six months, commencing March
            15, 2005, an Officers' Certificate of the Issuer stating that all
            such dispositions of Collateral that occurred since the execution of
            the previous such Officers' Certificate (or for the first such
            Officers' Certificate, since the Closing Date) were in the ordinary
            course of the Issuer's business and that the proceeds thereof were
            applied in accordance with the Related Documents.

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

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

                                       78

<PAGE>

based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of
Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall
include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel
and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other
counsel.

      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.

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

      SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instrument(s) 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(s)
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Issuer. Such instrument(s) (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument(s). Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of
the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. At any time the Notes of any Class are maintained on Book-Entry Notes,
any reference in this Indenture to an Act of Noteholders or a Noteholder or
Noteholders representing a specified portion of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes or such Class of Notes shall be deemed to refer to an Act
of Note Owners or a Note Owner or Note Owners holding such specified portion of
the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes or Class, as the case may be.

      (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person

                                       79

<PAGE>

executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture
Trustee deems sufficient.

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

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

      (e) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each
Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special
attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such
Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder and the revisions
pursuant hereto for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided that nothing
contained in this Section shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee
any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any
matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture.

      SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders, or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture, shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:

      (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

      (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class,
postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to: GE Commercial Equipment Financing
LLC, Series 2004-1, in care of General Electric Capital Corporation, 44 Old
Ridgebury Road, Danbury, CT 06810, Attention: Capital Markets Operations, and to
General Electric Capital Corporation, as Administrator, 44 Old Ridgebury Road,
Danbury, CT 06810, Attention: General Counsel, or at any other address
previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from
the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

      Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to their respective
addresses set forth in Section 8.1 of the Servicing Agreement.

      SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event or the mailing of any report to
Noteholders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid or
certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by private courier or confirmed
telecopy to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is
required

                                       80

<PAGE>

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

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

      In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to
Noteholders, in accordance with Section 11.5, of any event or any report to
Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to
any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be
made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder.

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

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

      SECTION 11.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents of the Indenture
Trustee, whether so expressed or not.

      SECTION 11.8. Severability. Any provision of this Indenture or the Notes
that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or of the
Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

      SECTION 11.9. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty,
any other party secured hereunder and any other Person

                                       81

<PAGE>

with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

      SECTION 11.10. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date.

      SECTION 11.11. Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS
ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION
5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA. THIS INDENTURE IS SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS
AMENDED, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.

      (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM
PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM
THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING
OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER
COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER SECURED OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER. EACH PARTY
HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR
SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION,
IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF
SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER
PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH
SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL
ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION
11.4 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH
PARTY'S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES
MAIL, PROPER

                                       82

<PAGE>

POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY
HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

      (c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY
(RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE
RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE
PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

      SECTION 11.12. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

      SECTION 11.13. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by
the Issuer and, at its expense, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may
be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either
for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or
for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee
under this Indenture.

      SECTION 11.14. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Swap
Counterparty, Managing Member or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes, the Swap
Agreement, or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered
in connection herewith or therewith, against: (i) the Indenture Trustee or
Managing Member in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, officer,
director, employee or agent of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in
their individual capacities, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, Managing Member or the Indenture Trustee or (c) of any successor or
assign of the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that the Indenture Trustee and Managing Member have no such
obligations in their individual capacities) 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.

      SECTION 11.15. Communication by Noteholders with Other Noteholders.
Noteholders may communicate, pursuant to TIA Section 312(b), with other
Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar

                                       83

<PAGE>

and all other parties shall be entitled to rely on and shall have the protection
of TIA Section 312(c).

      SECTION 11.16. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants,
and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's
officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of
reviewing or evaluating the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the
performance or compliance with the covenants and undertakings of the Issuer
under this Indenture, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any of the other
documents referred to herein or therein. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall
cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit: (i) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuer or its
agents, (ii) disclosure of any and all information: (A) if required to do so by
any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or
regulatory or self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or
oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee's business or that of its
Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar
demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration
to which the Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate or any officer, director,
employee or shareholder thereof is subject, (D) in any preliminary or final
offering circular or prospectus, registration statement or contract or other
document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and
approved in advance by the Issuer or (E) to any Affiliate, independent or
internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a
need to know the same; provided, that the Indenture Trustee advises such
recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed and such
recipient agrees to keep such information confidential, (iii) any other
disclosure authorized by the Issuer or (iv) disclosure to the other parties to
the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents.

      SECTION 11.17. Agents of Issuer. The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges
that it has been advised that any agent of the Issuer may act on behalf of the
Issuer hereunder for purposes of all consents, amendments, waivers and other
actions permitted or required to be taken, delivered or performed by the Issuer,
and the Indenture Trustee agrees that any such action taken by an agent on
behalf of the Issuer shall satisfy the Issuer's obligations hereunder.

      SECTION 11.18. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
representations, warranties and certificate of the Issuer made in this Indenture
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto
shall survive the authentication and delivery of the Notes hereunder.

      SECTION 11.19. 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 the TIA, such required provision shall control.

                                       84

<PAGE>

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

      SECTION 11.20. Subordination. The Issuer and each Noteholder by accepting
a Note acknowledge and agree that such Note represents indebtedness of the
Issuer and does not represent an interest in any assets (other than the
Collateral) of the Purchaser (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in
respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Collateral and
proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to
the extent the Purchaser enters into other securitization transactions, the
Issuer as well as each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that
it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests
therein) (other than the Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the
Purchaser to another securitization vehicle or other Person or Persons in
connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by
virtue of the granting of a lien) ("Other Assets"). To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding
sentences of this subsection, the Issuer or any Noteholder either (i) asserts an
interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or
through the Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of
insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under
the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the
Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser, then the Issuer and each
Noteholder by accepting a Note further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and
liabilities of the Purchaser which, under the terms of the relevant documents
relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid
from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets
(whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected
or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution or application under
applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against the
Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser), including, the payment of
post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This
subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the
meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder further
acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 11.20 and the terms of this Section 11.20 may be enforced by an
action for specific performance.

registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an

      GE COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT FINANCING LLC, SERIES 2004-1, a limited liability

(including any successor, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its [____]% Class A [____] Notes (herein called the "Class A
[____] Notes" or the "Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of
[____________] (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and [___________________], not in its
individual capacity but solely as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which term
includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and
that are defined in this Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
or pursuant to this Indenture.

      The Class A Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in this Indenture.

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

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

      Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of
a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, will be deemed to represent
that either (i) it is not (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA) or (b) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that
is subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each of the foregoing, a "Benefit
Plan"), and is not acting on behalf or investing the plan assets of a Benefit
Plan, or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of the Note will not give
rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the
Code, or any substantially similar applicable law.

      It is the intent of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note
Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness
of the Issuer. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to

                                     A-1-4

treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for
such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

      This Note and the Indenture and the obligations arising hereunder and
thereunder shall in all respects, including all matters of construction,
validity and performance, be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including Section
5-1401(1) of the General Obligations Law, but without regard to any other
conflict of laws provisions thereof) and any applicable laws of the United
States of America.

      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 Related Documents, neither [___________________], in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any
of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees, 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 Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the
Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Noteholder by the acceptance
hereof, and each Note Owner by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein,
each agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Related Documents, in the
case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder and Note Owner
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 Notes (herein called the "B Notes" or the
"Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of [____________] (such
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and [___________________], not in its individual capacity but
solely as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used
in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the
Indenture.

      Class B Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and are
subordinated to the Class A Notes to the extent provided in the Indenture.

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

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

      Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of
a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, will be deemed to represent
that either (i) it is not (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA) or (b) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that
is subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each of the foregoing, a "Benefit
Plan"), and is not acting on behalf or investing the plan assets of a Benefit
Plan, or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of the Note will not give
rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the
Code, or any substantially similar applicable law.

      It is the intent of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note
Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness
of the Issuer. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to

                                     A-2-4
<PAGE>

treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for
such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

      This Note and the Indenture and the obligations arising hereunder and
thereunder shall in all respects, including all matters of construction,
validity and performance, be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including Section
5-1401(1) of the General Obligations Law, but without regard to any other
conflict of laws provisions thereof) and any applicable laws of the United
States of America.

      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 Related Documents, neither [___________________], in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any
of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees, 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 Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the
Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Noteholder, by the acceptance
hereof, and each Note Owner by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein,
each agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Related Documents, in the
case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder and Note Owner
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.

                                   SCHEDULE 1
                                  to Indenture

              PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the
Indenture, to induce the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Indenture, the
Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Indenture Trustee on behalf
of the Noteholders as to itself as follows, on the Closing Date:

                                     General

      1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture
Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable
as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

      2. The Loans constitute "accounts," "general intangibles," "instruments,"
or "tangible chattel paper," within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the
State of New York.

      3. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security
interest against the Purchaser in the property securing the Loans that
constitute chattel paper.

                                    Creation

      4. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and
clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for
taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the
ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any
applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in
good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not
imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not
impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

                                   Perfection

      5. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the
effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under
applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Loans from Purchaser to the
Issuer, and the security interest in the Loans granted to the Indenture Trustee
hereunder and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a
statement that: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described
in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.".

      6. With respect to Loans that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel
paper, either:

                                   Schedule 1

                                        1

<PAGE>

            (a) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession
      of a custodian and the Indenture Trustee has received a written
      acknowledgment from the custodian that the custodian is holding such
      instruments or tangible chattel paper to effect the Indenture Trustee's
      security interest therein; or

            (b) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible
      chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written
      acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is acting to effect
      the Indenture Trustee's security interest therein.

      7. With respect to the Trust Accounts and all subaccounts that constitute
deposit accounts the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully
executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts
has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee
directing disposition of the funds in the Trust Accounts without further consent
by the Issuer.

                                    Priority

      8. Other than the transfer of the Loans to the Issuer under the Purchase
and Sale Agreement and the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Purchaser has pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Loans or the Trust Accounts or any subaccount thereof. Neither the Issuer nor
the Purchaser has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing
statements against the Issuer or the Purchaser that include a description of
collateral covering the Loans or the Trust Accounts or any subaccount thereof
other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to
the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

      9. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Indenture or any other Related Document, the Perfection
Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in
full force and effect until such time as all Notes under the Indenture have been
finally and fully paid and performed.

      10. No Waiver. The parties to the Indenture: (i) shall not, without
obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive any of
the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with
prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and (iii)
shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the
Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following
notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

      11. Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Issuer covenants that,
in order to evidence the interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under
this Agreement, the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to, take such
action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing
(as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this
paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such
actions as are requested by the Indenture Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a
first priority interest, the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the
Collateral. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to, from time to time and within
the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Indenture Trustee
for the Indenture Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion

                                   Schedule 1

                                       2

<PAGE>

of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to file all financing
statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a
continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial
releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and
perfect the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Collateral as a
first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Issuer shall cause the Servicer
to, present each such Filing to the Indenture Trustee together with (x) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant
of the security interest to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Granting
Clause of this Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such
Filing in this Indenture and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of
such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or
if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing
the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the
Issuer's signature authorizing the Servicer to effect such Filing under the
Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Issuer where allowed by
applicable law.
