                  THIS RECEIVABLES LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made as of
October 30, 2000, among:

         (1)      SILVERLEAF FINANCE I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
                  "Borrower");

         (2)      SILVERLEAF RESORTS, INC., a Texas corporation ("SRI"), as the
                  Servicer (as defined herein);

         (3)      AUTOBAHN FUNDING COMPANY LLC ("Autobahn"), as a Lender (as
                  defined herein);

         (4)      DG BANK DEUTSCHE GENOSSENSCHAFTSBANK AG ("DG Bank"), as agent
                  for the Lender (the "Agent");

         (5)      U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the Agent's Bank (as
                  such term is defined herein); and

         (6)      WELLS FARGO BANK MINNESOTA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
                  banking association ("Wells Fargo"), as the Backup Servicer
                  (as such term is defined herein).

                  IT IS AGREED as follows:


                                   ARTICLE I.

                                   DEFINITIONS

                  SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Certain capitalized terms
used throughout this Agreement are defined above or in this Section 1.01.

                  (b) As used in this Agreement and its exhibits, the following
terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable
to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

                  "Acceptable Environmental Report" means an environmental
report or reports certified to the Borrower and SRI, and assigned by the
Borrower to the Agent, covering a Development and confirming: (i) the absence of
Hazardous Materials on, under, or affecting the Land or any other real property
or personal property comprising such Development, (ii) that an engineering or
environmental consulting firm has obtained, reviewed, and included within its
report a CERCLIS printout from the EPA, statements from the EPA and other
applicable state and local authorities, and such other information as the
Borrower may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Phase I
Environmental Inspection, all of which information shall confirm that there are
no known or suspected Hazardous Materials located at, used or stored on, or
transported to or from the Development or in such proximity thereto as to create
a risk of

<PAGE>   6


contamination of any of the related Applicable Underlying Collateral; and (iii)
if such Development, or any part thereof, was constructed prior to 1986, the
absence of friable asbestos within the Units, Common Elements, if any, or
elsewhere at such Development. If any such environmental report reflects the
presence of friable asbestos, regardless of when construction of the Development
was completed, such report shall be deemed not to be an Acceptable Environmental
Report. To the extent that an environmental report complying with the
requirements of this definition has been obtained with respect to a Development,
there shall be no requirement to obtain another environmental report or an
update of the prior environmental report, in each case, with respect to such
Development unless there shall have occurred an event that could make such
environmental report materially incorrect or misleading (in which case a new
Acceptable Environmental Report with respect to such Development shall be
obtained).

                  "Acceptable Insurance Policy" means, in respect of an
Interval, one or more fire and extended perils insurance policies in respect of
the related Development (i) issued by an insurance company or security bonding
company qualified to write such insurance policies in the relevant jurisdiction;
(ii) providing coverage against fire and extended perils, general liability and
other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality
of such Development; (iii) in an aggregate amount not less than the full
replacement cost of the Development with respect to fire and extended perils,
and for other coverages, such amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
coinsurance provisions with respect to the Development but in any event
consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of
origination by SRI in its normal mortgage lending activities with respect to
similar properties in the same locality as the Development and covering only the
Development; (iv) all premiums in respect of which have been paid; (v) the terms
of which require prior notice to the insured of termination or cancellation;
(vi) in respect of which no notice of termination or cancellation has been
received which is still in effect; (vii) the cost and expense in respect of
which shall be paid by Silverleaf Club out of dues paid by Obligors and (viii)
with reasonable and customary deductions, if any.

                  "Acceptable Title Policy" means, in respect of an Interval, a
title insurance policy (i) issued by a title insurance company qualified to
write such title insurance policy in the relevant jurisdiction; (ii) insuring
that the Mortgage in respect thereof is a valid first mortgage lien on such
Interval, subject only to ordinary and customary exceptions which do not
materially interfere with the value or current use of such Interval; (iii) in
full force and effect; (iv) freely assignable; (v) which will inure to the
benefit of the Agent as mortgagee of record; (vi) in respect of which no prior
mortgagee has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage
of any such title insurance policy; (vii) is on an ALTA 1992 form (or the
equivalent in the Applicable Jurisdiction, omitting or waiving any arbitration
requirement and the "creditor's rights" exclusion) with an effective date as of
the date of the recording of the Mortgage; and (viii) containing endorsements
(A) insuring that no building restriction, easement, covenant or other similar
exception to title disclosed on such title insurance policy has been violated
and that any violation thereof would not create or result in any reversion,
reverter or forfeiture of title, (B) with respect to zoning in the form
typically issued in the Applicable Jurisdiction (unless other evidence of
compliance with zoning requirements has been provided to the satisfaction of



                                       2
<PAGE>   7


the Agent); (C) insuring over any environmental superlien or similar lien upon
all or any portion of such Development and (D) insuring over violation of usury
laws, the fact that interest accrues at a changing or changeable rate and the
revolving nature of the Loans.

                  "Accountants' Report" has the meaning assigned to that term in
Section 6.12(b).

or more of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit D, endorsing a Receivable from

provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender shall cease to issue
commercial paper notes to fund and maintain Loans hereunder and the applicable
Yield Rate for all Fixed Periods in effect at the time of such occurrence shall
convert to, and for all Fixed Periods that come into effect during the

Fixed Period (other than a Fixed Period with respect to Loans which accrue Yield

otherwise end on a date occurring after the Early Amortization Commencement Date

Amortization Commencement Date, the Agent shall have the right to allocate
outstanding Loans, if any, to Fixed Periods of such duration as shall be

Non-CP Rate being allocated to a Fixed Period shall mean all such Loans that are
outstanding during such Fixed Period or a portion thereof.

                  (c) Each of the Lender and the Agent shall make reasonable
efforts to allow Loans to accrue Yield at the CP Rate; provided that neither the
Lender nor the Agent shall have any obligation to allow Loans to accrue (or
continue to accrue) Yield at the CP Rate upon the occurrence of a CP Disruption
Event or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event
or event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of
time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event.

                  funds expended by the Agent to purchase any Purchased Rate
                  Caps which the Borrower failed to purchase notwithstanding its
                  obligation to do so under the terms of the Sinking Fund
                  Agreement;

                           (iii) without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
                  under the Sinking Fund Agreement and at the election of the
                  Agent, to the applicable counterparty (as set forth in the
                  Sinking Fund Agreement) in an amount equal to (and for payment
                  of) any Purchased Rate Caps which the Borrower failed to

                  Fund Agreement), in an amount equal to (and for payment of)
                  any Swap Obligations (as defined in the Sinking Fund
                  Agreement).

                  (e) Borrower Deficiency Payments. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 2.05 or in any other provision in this
Agreement, if, on any day prior to the Collection Date, the Facility Amount
shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Limit minus the Discount Amount and
(ii) the Capital Limit, then the Borrower shall remit to the Agent, prior to any
Borrowing and in any event no later than the close of business of the Agent on
such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, no later than the close of
business of the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day), a payment (to be
applied by the Agent to repay Loans selected by the Agent, in its sole
discretion) in such amount as may be necessary to reduce the Facility Amount to
an amount less than or equal to the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Limit minus the
Discount Amount and (y) the Capital Limit.

                  (f) Instructions to the Agent's Bank. All instructions and
directions given to the Agent's Bank by the Servicer or the Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.05 shall be in writing (including instructions and directions
transmitted to the Agent's Bank by telecopy) and such written instructions and
directions shall be delivered with a written certification that such
instructions and directions are in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 2.05. A copy of all instructions and directions given to the Agent's
Bank by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.05, shall be immediately
transmitted to the Agent by telecopy. A copy of all instructions and directions
given to the Agent's Bank by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05, shall be

deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in
immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as
is designated by the Lender. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law,
pay to the Agent interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due
hereunder (whether owing by the Borrower or the Servicer) at the Default Funding
Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at
any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Such interest
shall be for the account of, and distributed by the Agent to, the Lender. Any
Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of
Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or returned by the
Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations of
interest and all computations of Yield, Liquidation Fee and other fees hereunder
(including, without limitation, the Fees, the Backup Servicer's Fee and the
Servicing Fee) shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

                  (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of Yield, interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be.

                  (c) If any Borrowing requested by the Borrower and approved by
the Lender and the Agent pursuant to Section 2.02 or any selection of any Fixed
Period requested by the Borrower and approved by the Agent pursuant to Section
2.04 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender and/or the Agent, made or
effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the
Lender (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or the Agent), including, without
limitation, any loss (including cost of funds and out-of-pocket expenses), cost
or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by the Lender to fund Loans or maintain Loans during such
Fixed Period.

                  SECTION 2.07 Fees. The Borrower shall pay the Lender (either
directly or through the Agent) certain fees (the "Fees") in the amounts and on
the dates set forth in a fee letter (the "Fee Letter"), dated the date hereof,
among SRI, the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lender.

                  (b) All of the Fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.07
(other than the "Structuring Fee" as defined in the Fee Letter) shall be payable
solely from amounts available for application pursuant to, and subject to the
priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.05.

                  SECTION 2.08 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. If, due to
either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any
change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
cost to the Agent, the Lender, or any Affiliate, successor or assign thereof
(each of which shall be an "Affected Party") of agreeing to make or making,
funding or maintaining any Loan, as the case may be, the Borrower shall, from
time to time, upon written demand by such Affected Party (with a copy to the
Agent), immediately pay to such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in
the case of an Affected Party that is not also the Lender hereunder), additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs.

                  (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in
the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or
request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline,
rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law),
including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a
level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such
introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days
after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be


                                       45
<PAGE>   50


accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), such
Affected Party shall be paid (from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the
priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.05) such additional amounts as will
compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

                  (c) In determining any amount provided for in this Section
2.08, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.08 shall submit
to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.

                  (d) If, as a result of any event or circumstance similar to
those described in Section 2.08(a) or 2.08(b), any Affected Party (that is an
Issuer) is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution
providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such
Affected Party in connection with this Agreement, then, upon demand by such
Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional
amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any
amounts paid by it.

                  SECTION 2.09 Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The
Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Lender, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and all Certificates of Beneficial Interest, all

Collateral and all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing,
securing or guarantying any Pledged Receivable and all other agreements,

thereof) shall have, following an Event of Default or an Early Amortization
Event, the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under each
Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Agent, the
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations
of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document. In addition, each of the
Servicer and the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Servicer or the Borrower
will send to the Agent a notice of (i) any breach of any representation,
warranty, agreement or covenant under any such Assigned Document or (ii) any
event or occurrence that, upon notice to SRI, or upon the passage of time or
both, would constitute such a breach. The Borrower further confirms and agrees
that such assignment to the Agent shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

                  SECTION 2.10 Grant of a Security Interest. To secure the
prompt and complete payment when due of the Obligations and the performance by
the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it
pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower hereby (i) collaterally assigns and

                  (v) Litigation. Borrower and the Servicer have received
         evidence satisfactory to Borrower, the Servicer and Lender that there
         exists no pending bankruptcy, foreclosure, or other material litigation

         the Person managing such Development or SRI (each a "Material Party").
         The term "other material litigation" as used herein shall not include
         matters in which (i) a Material Party is a plaintiff and no
         counterclaim is pending; or (ii) Borrower and Agent determine, in their
         reasonable discretion, that such litigation is immaterial due to
         settlement, insurance coverage, frivolity, or amount or nature of
         claim. Borrower shall have obtained an independent search, at
         Borrower's or SRI's expense, confirming that no such bankruptcy,

         obtained such searches of the applicable public records as they deem
         necessary under all Applicable Laws to verify that the Borrower has a
         first and prior perfected lien and security interest covering all of
         the Applicable Underlying Collateral with respect to Receivables
         related to such Development.

                  (vii) Taxes and Assessments. Borrower and the Servicer have
         received copies of the most current tax bills related to the related
         Development, together with evidence satisfactory to them that all real
         estate and personal property taxes and assessments owed with respect to
         such Development by SRI or the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
         Association, or for which SRI or the Applicable Timeshare Owners'
         Association is responsible for collection, have been paid except for
         such taxes as are being disputed in good faith and with respect to
         which adequate reserves have been established.

                  (viii) Miscellaneous. Such other matters as Lender shall
         reasonably require.

                  True copies or, to the extent required hereby, originals of
         all of the above-referenced documents, instruments, forms, opinions,
         and other materials shall be delivered to the Servicer, either prior to
         or contemporaneously with Borrower's execution and delivery to the
         Lender of the Notice of Borrowing with respect to a proposed Loan
         secured by the Receivables related thereto. The delivery by the
         Borrower of any Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be the
         Borrower's and the Servicer's written representation and acknowledgment
         of receipt and approval of each item referred to in the previous
         sentence which are related to the Receivables being Pledged to secure
         the Loan being requested pursuant to such Notice of Borrowing.

                  SECTION 3.03 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No advance
of a Loan hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any condition to the Lender's
obligation to make such an advance unless such waiver is in writing and executed
by the Lender.

Commercial Paper Remittance Report is an Eligible Receivable.

                  (b) The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has the power and all licenses necessary to own its assets and

the Pledged Receivables requires such qualification.

                  (c) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly

servicing of the Pledged Receivables requires such qualification.

                  (d) Each of the Servicer and the Borrower has the power,
authority and legal right to make, deliver and perform this Agreement and each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions

Servicer or the Borrower is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Servicer and the Borrower, as applicable, enforceable against
them in accordance with their respective terms except as the enforceability

as contemplated herein or (ii) violate any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court, regulatory body or
administrative agency or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
Servicer or the Borrower or any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement
to which the Servicer or the Borrower is a party or by which the Servicer or the
Borrower or any property or assets of the Servicer or the Borrower may be bound.

                  (f) Except as set forth on Schedule IV hereto, no litigation

assigned or pledged by the Borrower to any Person other than the Pledge of such
Assets to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

                  (i) The Borrower has no Debt or other indebtedness, other than
Debt incurred under (or contemplated by) the terms of this Agreement and the
Receivables Purchase Agreement.

engaging in transactions of the types contemplated by this Agreement and the
Receivables Purchase Agreement.

their respective obligations

charge. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by the Servicer

               GENERAL COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER AND THE SERVICER

                  SECTION 5.01 General Covenants. The Borrower will observe all
corporate procedures required by its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Borrower will maintain its
corporate existence in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation and will promptly obtain and thereafter maintain qualifications to
do business as a foreign corporation in any other state in which it does
business and in which it is required to so qualify in accordance with applicable
law.

                  (b) The Borrower will at all times ensure that (i) its
directors act independently and in its interests, (ii) it shall at all times
maintain at least one independent director (x) who is not currently and has not
been during the five years preceding the date of this Agreement an officer,
director or employee of the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof (other than a
limited purpose corporation, business trust, partnership or other entity
organized for the purpose of acquiring, financing or otherwise investing,
directly or indirectly, in assets or receivables originated, owned or serviced
by SRI or an Affiliate thereof), (y) who is not a current or former officer or
employee of the Borrower and (z) who is not a stockholder of the Borrower or an
Affiliate thereof, (iii) its assets are not commingled with those of SRI or any
other Affiliate of the


                                       59
<PAGE>   64


Borrower, (iv) its board of directors duly authorizes all of its corporate
actions, (v) it maintains separate and accurate records and books of account and
such books and records are kept separate from those of SRI and any other
Affiliate of the Borrower, and (vi) it maintains minutes of the meetings and
other proceedings of the stockholders and the board of directors. Where
necessary, the Borrower will obtain proper authorization from its shareholders
for corporate action.

                  (c) The Borrower will pay its operating expenses and
liabilities from its own assets; provided, however, that the Borrower's
organizational expenses and the expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
may be paid by SRI.

                  (d) The Borrower will not have any of its indebtedness
guaranteed by SRI or any Affiliate of SRI. Furthermore, the Borrower will not
hold itself out, or permit itself to be held out, as having agreed to pay or as
being liable for the debts of SRI or any Affiliate of SRI and the Borrower will
not engage in business transactions with SRI or any Affiliate of SRI, except on
an arm's-length basis. The Borrower will not hold SRI or any Affiliate of SRI
out to third parties as other than an entity with assets and liabilities
distinct from the Borrower. The Borrower will cause any financial statements
consolidated with those of SRI or any Affiliate of SRI to state that the
Borrower is a separate corporate entity with its own separate creditors who, in
any liquidation of the Borrower, will be entitled to be satisfied out of the
Borrower's assets prior to any value in the Borrower becoming available to the
Borrower's equity holders. The Borrower will not act in any other matter that
could foreseeably mislead others with respect to the Borrower's separate
identity.

                  (e) In its capacity as Servicer, SRI will, to the extent
necessary, maintain separate records on behalf of and for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lender, will act in accordance with instructions and directions,
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, from the Borrower, the Agent
and/or the Lender in connection with its servicing of the Pledged Receivables
hereunder, and will ensure that, at all times when it is dealing with or in
connection with the Pledged Receivables in its capacity as Servicer, it holds
itself out as Servicer, and not in any other capacity.

                  (f) The Servicer shall, to the extent required by applicable
law, disclose all material transactions associated with this transaction in
appropriate regulatory filings and public announcements. The annual financial
statements of SRI (including any consolidated financial statements) shall
disclose the effects of the transactions contemplated by the Receivables
Purchase Agreement as a sale of Receivables and the annual financial statements
of the Borrower shall disclose the effects of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement as a loan to the extent required by and in accordance with GAAP.

                  (g) Each of the Servicer and the Borrower shall take all other
actions necessary to maintain the accuracy of the factual assumptions set forth
in the legal opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, special counsel to SRI and the
Borrower, issued in connection with the


                                       60

assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or

                  (j) The Borrower will not account for or treat (whether in
financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated by the
Receivables Purchase Agreement in any manner other than the sale of Receivables
by SRI to the Borrower.

                  (k) The Borrower will not amend, modify, waive or terminate
any terms or conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including,
without limitation, any eligibility criteria thereunder) without the written
consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the
case of an amendment curing an ambiguity or correcting any inconsistent
provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement), and shall perform its
obligations thereunder.

                  (l) The Borrower will not amend, modify or otherwise make any
change to its Certificate of Incorporation without the consent of the Agent.

                  (m) Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer will make or allow

written consent of the Agent which would materially negatively impact the
collectibility of any Pledged Receivable.

the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will remit such Collections to the

Servicer's receipt thereof.

                  (o) The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the

<PAGE>   66


                  (q) Each of the Servicer and the Borrower shall, at their
expense, cooperate and take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent in
connection with obtaining a shadow rating with respect to the financing facility
provided for hereunder, including, without limitation providing to each of the
Rating Agencies all information requested by such Rating Agencies.

                  (r) The Servicer shall provide prompt notice to the Agent of
(i) the occurrence of any Event of Default, Servicer Default or Early
Amortization Event or any Unmatured Event of Default or other event that, if it
continues uncured, will, with the lapse of time or notice or the lapse of time
and notice, constitute a Servicer Default or Early Amortization Event, (ii) any

of any litigation or administrative proceeding described in Section 4.01(f) in

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING; CERTAIN COVENANTS

                  SECTION 6.01 Appointment and Designation of the Servicer. The
Borrower, the Lender and the Agent hereby appoint the Person designated by the
Agent from time to time (with the approval of the Lender) pursuant to this
Section 6.01 (the "Servicer"), as their agent to service, administer and collect
the Pledged Receivables and otherwise to enforce their respective rights and
interests in and under the Pledged Receivables and the other Pledged Assets.
Subject to Section 6.14, the Servicer shall collect such Pledged Receivables
under the conditions referred to above by means of the collection procedures as
set forth in the Credit and Collection Policy, to the extent consistent with the
provisions of this Article VI. The Servicer's authorization under this Agreement
shall terminate on the Collection Date. Until the Agent gives notice to the
Borrower of a designation of a new Servicer upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Servicer Default, or consents to the appointment by the
Borrower of a new Servicer, SRI is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof
at all times until the earlier of the Agent's designation of a new Servicer upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Servicer Default, the delivery
by the Agent of its consent to the appointment by the Borrower of a new Servicer
or the Collection Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Servicer Default, the Agent may at any time (with the approval of the Lender)
designate as Servicer any Person to succeed SRI or any successor Servicer, on
the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to
perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms


                                       63
<PAGE>   68


hereof. Each of the Borrower and SRI hereby grants to any successor Servicer an
irrevocable power of attorney and license to take any and all steps in the
Borrower's, SRI's or the Servicer's name, as applicable, and on behalf of the
Borrower or SRI, necessary or desirable, in the determination of such successor
Servicer, to service, administer or collect any and all Pledged Receivables.

                  (b) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act for the Borrower
and the Agent and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make
collections on the Pledged Receivables, and perform the other actions required
by the Servicer under this Agreement for the benefit of the Agent and the
Lender. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Pledged Receivables shall
be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions
which service comparable receivables and, to the extent more exacting, the
degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises from time to time with
respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others (and
in the case of SRI, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy) and, to
the extent more exacting, the requirements of this Article VI. The Servicer's
duties shall include, without limitation, collection and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Pledged Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements or payment books to
Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, policing the
collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, accounting for
collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Agent with respect
to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein.

                  (c) To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and
procedures otherwise required hereby, the Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or
desirable. The Servicer is authorized to release Liens on Intervals in order to
collect insurance and condemnation proceeds with respect thereto and to
liquidate such Intervals in accordance with its customary standards, policies
and procedures; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer shall not, (i) except pursuant to an order from a court of competent
jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any
Pledged Receivable or (ii) waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any
Pledged Receivable from such Obligor, except that, subject to Section 6.02(a),
the Servicer may forego collection efforts if the amount which the Servicer, in
its reasonable judgment, expects to realize in connection with such collection
efforts is determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment to be less than
the reasonably expected costs of pursuing such collection efforts, and if the
Servicer would forego such collection efforts in accordance with its customary
procedures. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in
the name of the Borrower, the Agent or the Lender (provided that if the Servicer
is acting in the name of the Borrower, the Agent or the Lender, the Servicer
shall have obtained the Borrower's, the Agent's or the Lender's consent, as the
case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), a legal
proceeding to enforce a Pledged Receivable or to commence or participate in any
other legal proceeding (including, without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding)
relating to or involving a Pledged Receivable, an Obligor or an Interval. If the
Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name,
the Borrower, the Agent or the Lender, as the case may be,


                                       64
<PAGE>   69


shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Pledged Receivable
to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such
proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered
by the Borrower, the Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, to execute and
deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints,
responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any
such proceeding. The Borrower, the Agent or the Lender, as the case may be,
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents which
the Servicer may reasonably request in writing and which the Servicer deems
necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.

                  (d) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it hereunder except upon determination that (i) the
performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable
law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which can be taken to make the
performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i)
of the previous sentence hereof shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Agent. Unless otherwise required by applicable law,
no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Servicer designated by
the Agent and the Lender shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations
of the Servicer hereunder.

                  SECTION 6.02 Collection of Receivable Payments; Modification
and Amendment of Receivables. Consistent with the standards, policies and
procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Pledged Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable receivables
that it services for itself or others (or that it formerly serviced for itself
or others) and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Receivables and the
applicable Acceptable Title Policy in such manner as will, in the reasonable
judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Borrower and
the Lender with respect thereto.

                  (b) The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification or
amendment of a Pledged Receivable in order to re-amortize the scheduled payments
on the Pledged Receivable following a partial prepayment of principal but the
Servicer may not grant payment extensions on a Pledged Receivable or permit any
other modifications or amendments to a Pledged Receivable except as may be
permitted by the Credit and Collection Policy; provided that a Pledged
Receivable may only be Modified or Downgraded if it has not previously been
Modified or Downgraded since its origination.

                  (c) The Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of
the Obligors received directly by the Servicer to the Collection Account,
without deposit into any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof.


                                       65
<PAGE>   70


                  SECTION 6.03 Realization Upon Receivables. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.13 and consistent with the standards, policies and
procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall use its best efforts
to foreclose upon (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and
liquidate any Interval or other Collateral securing a Pledged Receivable with
respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder have
ceased and are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable after default
on such Pledged Receivable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after
such determination or an earlier date that would be customary under the
circumstances involved and, in any case, in a manner as will, in the reasonable
judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Borrower and
the Lender with respect thereto; provided that in the case of the foreclosure
upon any Interval or other Collateral securing a Pledged Receivable by the
Backup Servicer, such Backup Servicer shall take such action only upon the
direction of the Agent. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent
with the standard of care required by Section 6.01, which practices and
procedures may include selling the related Interval or other Collateral at
public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Acceptable Title
Policy, if applicable, and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize
upon such Pledged Receivable. In the event the Servicer elects to liquidate at a
public or private sale any Interval or Intervals foreclosed upon or otherwise
reacquired on behalf of the Borrower from Obligors of Defaulted Receivables, SRI
shall not be precluded from bidding on such Intervals so long as SRI pays an
amount equal to the net fair market value of such Intervals, as determined by
the next following sentence of this Section 6.03; provided that SRI shall only
be permitted to bid on such Intervals if, at such time, there shall not be a
Borrowing Base Deficiency, an Early Amortization Event or a default under any
Transaction Document. In this regard, the Servicer shall establish, from time to
time, a net value for Intervals so liquidated based upon such market data as
Servicer deems relevant; provided that in no event will the Liquidation Proceeds
derived from an Interval acquired by SRI at public or private sale be less than
fifteen percent (15%) of the original acquisition price paid for the Interval by
the Obligor under the Defaulted Receivable associated with the Interval. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the related
Unit shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in
connection with any repair or towards the foreclosure of such Interval unless it
shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or foreclosure shall
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Pledged Receivable by an
amount greater than the amount of such expenses. All Liquidation Proceeds shall
be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Collection Account without deposit
into any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of
the Borrower any personal property taxes assessed on foreclosed Intervals, and
the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax as a Servicer
Advance.


                  SECTION 6.04 Insurance Regarding Intervals. Without limiting
the effect of any other provision hereof, the Servicer shall monitor the status
of the Acceptable Title Policies related to the Pledged Receivables in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and its customary servicing
procedures. If the Servicer shall determine that SRI has failed to obtain or
maintain Acceptable Title Policies covering all Mortgages securing all Pledged


                                       66
<PAGE>   71


Receivables related to Fee Simple Intervals, the Servicer shall take all
necessary steps to ensure that SRI obtains such Acceptable Title Policy.

                  (b) The Servicer may and, upon the request of the Agent, shall
sue to enforce or collect upon the Acceptable Title Policies, in its own name,
if possible, or as agent of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender. If the
Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Acceptable Title
Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of
the rights of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender under such Acceptable Title
Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
enforce an Acceptable Title Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in
interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Acceptable Title Policy, the
Borrower shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such
Acceptable Title Policy, including bringing suit in its name.

                  SECTION 6.05 Maintenance of Security Interests in Intervals.
If the Borrower has failed to, the Servicer shall take all steps necessary under
all applicable law in order to cause a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
priority security interest to exist in the Borrower's favor in the Applicable
Underlying Collateral and all other Collateral (other than the Pledged
Receivables) related to each Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) being Pledged
hereunder on any Borrowing Date and immediately prior to the Pledge of such
Receivable by the Borrower to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lender), there
shall have existed in favor of the Borrower as secured party, a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first priority perfected lien in the Applicable
Underlying Collateral and all other such Collateral related to such Receivable
(and the proceeds thereof), and such security interest is and shall be prior to
all other liens upon and security interests in such Applicable Underlying
Collateral and other such Collateral (and the proceeds thereof) that now exist
or may hereafter arise or be created.

                  (b) If the Borrower has failed to, the Servicer shall take all
steps necessary under all applicable law in order to cause a valid, subsisting
and enforceable first priority ownership interest to exist in the Borrower's
favor in the Pledged Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) related to any
Receivable being Pledged hereunder on any Borrowing Date and immediately prior
to the Pledge of such Receivable by the Borrower to the Agent (for the benefit
of the Lender), there shall have existed in favor of the Borrower as secured
party, a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority ownership interest in
the Pledged Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) related to any such Receivable
which is and free of all liens and security interests.

                  (c) If the Borrower has failed to, the Servicer shall take all
steps necessary under all applicable law in order to cause to exist in favor of
the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, a valid, subsisting and enforceable
first priority perfected lien in (A) the Borrower's perfected security interest
in the Applicable Underlying Collateral and all other Collateral (other than the
Pledged Receivables) related to each Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) being
Pledged hereunder on such Borrowing Date and (B) the Pledged Receivables and any
other Pledged Assets related to each Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) being
Pledged hereunder on


                                       67
<PAGE>   72


any Borrowing Date, and upon the Pledge of such Receivable by the Borrower to
the Agent (for the benefit of the Lender), there shall exist in favor of the
Agent (for the benefit of the Lender) as secured party, a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first priority perfected security interest (A) the Borrower's first
priority perfected security interest in the Applicable Underlying Collateral
and all other Collateral (other than the Pledged Receivables) related to each
Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) being Pledged hereunder on such Borrowing
Date and (B) the Pledged Receivables and any other Pledged Assets related to
each Receivable (and the proceeds thereof) being Pledged hereunder on such
Borrowing Date, and such security interest is and shall be prior to all other
liens upon and security interests therein that now exist or may hereafter arise
or be created.

                  SECTION 6.06 Pledged Receivable Receipts. The Servicer shall
promptly make a deposit or cause the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to make a
deposit into the Collection Account in an amount equal to the Collections
received or made by or on behalf of it, the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof,
as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of receiving any such
Collections.

                  SECTION 6.07 Unidentified Payments; Lender's Right of
Presumption. The Borrower agrees and consents that the Servicer and/or the
Agent may apply any payment it receives (or any such payment the Servicer
deposits into the Collection Account) from an Obligor to any Loan secured by a
Pledged Receivable if the Servicer and/or the Agent is unable in good faith to
determine whether such payment from an Obligor relates to such Pledged
Receivable; provided that each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender agrees
that any payment it receives (or any such payment the Servicer deposits into the
Collection Account) from an Obligor which is specifically identifiable as a
payment in respect of any dues, fees or other charges payable by the related
Obligor in connection with the ownership and/or use of the related Interval
shall be paid to SRI.


                  SECTION 6.08 No Rights of Withdrawal. Until the Collection
Date, the Borrower shall have no rights of direction or withdrawal with respect
to amounts held in the Collection Account, the Lockbox Account or the Lockbox,
except as provided for herein.

                  SECTION 6.09 Permitted Investments. The Borrower shall,
pursuant to written instruction, direct the Agent's Bank (and if the Borrower
fails to do so, the Agent may, pursuant to written instruction, direct the
Agent's Bank) to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the
Collection Account, in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement
until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, the Agent's Bank
shall invest, or cause the investment of, such funds in Permitted Investments
described in clause (e) of the definition thereof. A Permitted Investment
acquired with funds deposited in the Collection Account shall mature not later
than the Business Day immediately preceding the last day of the next ending
Fixed Period, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All
such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Agent (in its
capacity as such) or its nominee for the benefit of the Lender. All income and
gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest earned on
deposits in the Collection Account shall be


                                       68
<PAGE>   73


distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account (with respect to investments made
hereunder of funds held therein), an amount equal to the amount of any actual
loss incurred in respect of any such investment immediately upon realization of
such loss. Neither the Agent's Bank nor the Agent shall be liable for the amount
of any loss incurred in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of
funds held in the Collection Account.

                  SECTION 6.10 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to be paid the Servicing
Fee from the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.05(c). Subject to
Section 6.14, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it
in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled
to reimbursement therefor, except with respect to reasonable expenses of the
Servicer incurred in connection with the foreclosure and disposition of any
Interval (which the Servicer may retain from the proceeds of the disposition of
such Interval) and any Servicer Advances made by the Servicer pursuant hereto.
The Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.11 Reports to the Agent; Account Statements;
Servicing Information. The Borrower will deliver to the Agent (i) on the Early
Amortization Commencement Date, a report identifying the Pledged Receivables
(and any information with respect thereto requested by the Agent) on the day
immediately preceding the Early Amortization Commencement Date and (ii) upon the
Agent's reasonable request and upon reasonable notice, on any other Business
Day, a report identifying the Pledged Receivables (and any information with
respect thereto reasonably requested by the Agent) on such day.

                  (b) On the tenth day of each calendar month or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day, the Servicer shall
prepare and deliver or have delivered to the Agent for the Lender, (i) a Monthly
Remittance Report and any other information reasonably requested by the Agent
relating to all Pledged Receivables (including if requested, a Computer Tape or
Listing), all information in the Monthly Remittance Report (including, without
limitation, the calculation of Weighted Average APR, the Default Rate, the
Delinquency Rate and the Excess Spread Rate) and all other such information to
be accurate as of the last day of the immediately preceding Remittance Period
and (ii) in an electronic format mutually acceptable to the Servicer and the
Agent, all information reasonably requested by the Agent relating to all Pledged
Receivables. If any Monthly Remittance Report indicates the existence of a
Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall on the date of delivery of such
Monthly Remittance Report prepay to the Agent, for the account of the Lender, a
portion of the Loans as is necessary to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or
otherwise cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency).

                  (c) By no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
Business Day immediately preceding a Borrowing, the Servicer shall also prepare
and deliver to the Agent for the Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate containing
information accurate as of the date of


                                       69
<PAGE>   74

indicates the existence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall on
the date of delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate prepay to the Agent, for
the account of the Lender, a portion of the Loans as is necessary to cure such
Borrowing Base Deficiency (or otherwise cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency).

                  (d) On the Business Day immediately preceding the last day of
each Fixed Period, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or have delivered to
the Agent for the Lender, a Commercial Paper Remittance Report containing
information accurate as of the date of delivery of such Commercial Paper
Remittance Report.

                  (e) On the tenth day of each calendar month or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day (each such day, a
"Backup Servicer Delivery Date"), the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or have
delivered to the Backup Servicer, (i) a Monthly Remittance Report in respect of
the immediately-preceding Remittance Period and (ii) a computer tape or a
diskette or any other electronic transmission in a format acceptable to the
Backup Servicer containing the information with respect to the Pledged
Receivables during such Remittance Period which was necessary for preparation of
such Monthly Remittance Report.

                  (f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent all reports it
receives pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement within one (1) Business
Day of the receipt thereof.

                  SECTION 6.12 Statements as to Compliance; Financial
Statements. The Servicer shall deliver to the Agent, the Borrower and the Lender
on or before January 15 of each year, beginning with January 15, 2001, an
Officers Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (x) a review of
the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or the
portion thereof commencing on the date of this Agreement, in the case of the
calendar year ending December 31, 2000) and of its performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (y) to the best of
such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all
of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such calendar year (or
portion thereof, as the case may be) or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken to cure
such default.

                  (b) The Servicer shall, at its expense, cause Deloitte &
Touche or another firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Agent (the "Independent Accountants"), who may also render
other services to the Servicer or to the Borrower to deliver to the Borrower and
the Agent, on or before March 31 of each year, beginning on March 31, 2001, with
respect to the twelve (12) months ended the immediately preceding December 31, a
statement (the "Accountants' Report") addressed to the Board of Directors of the
Servicer and to the Agent, to the effect that such firm has performed procedures
to be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Agent, solely to assist with
evaluating compliance with the Borrowing Base Certificates, Monthly Remittance
Reports and Commercial Paper Remittance Reports prepared by the Servicer during
the twelve (12) months ended the immediately preceding December 31


                                       70
<PAGE>   75


and that such agreed upon procedures were performed in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The
Accountants' Report shall further state that (i) it performed procedures in
accordance with such agreed upon procedures; (ii) except as disclosed in the
Accountant's Report, no exceptions or errors in the Borrowing Base Certificates,
Monthly Remittance Reports and Commercial Paper Remittance Reports examined were
found. The Accountants' Report shall also indicate that the firm is independent
of the Borrower and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional
Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

                  (c) As soon as available and no later than forty-five (45)
days after the end of each calendar quarter in each fiscal year of SRI, SRI
shall deliver to the Lender and the Agent two copies of:

                           (i) a consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of
         SRI and its consolidated subsidiaries (excluding the Borrower) as of
         the end of such calendar quarter setting forth in comparative form the
         corresponding figures for the most recent year-end for which an audited
         balance sheet has been prepared, which such balance sheet shall be
         prepared and presented in accordance with, and provide all necessary
         disclosure required by, GAAP and shall be accompanied by a certificate
         signed by the financial vice president, treasurer, chief financial
         officer or controller of SRI stating that such balance sheet presents
         fairly the financial condition of the companies being reported upon and
         has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; and

                           (ii) consolidated and consolidating statements of
         income, stockholders' equity and cash flow of SRI and its consolidated
         subsidiaries (excluding the Borrower) for such calendar quarter, in
         each case and for the portion of the fiscal year ending with such
         calendar quarter setting forth in comparative form the corresponding
         figures for the comparable period one year prior thereto (subject to
         normal year-end adjustments), which such statements shall be prepared
         and presented in accordance with, and provide all necessary disclosure
         required by, GAAP and shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by
         the financial vice president, treasurer, chief financial officer or

         fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the
         companies being reported upon and have been prepared in accordance with
         GAAP consistently applied.

                  (d) As soon as available and no later than ninety (90) days
after the end of each fiscal year of SRI, SRI shall deliver to the Lender and
the Agent two copies of:

                           (i) a consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of

                  (e) As soon as available and no later than ninety (90) days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, SRI shall deliver to the
Lender and the Agent two copies of:

                           (i) a balance sheet of the Borrower, as of the end of
         the fiscal year, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the

                           (ii) statements of income, stockholders' equity and
         cash flow of the Borrower for such fiscal year; setting forth in
         comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year and

         concur); and

                           (iii) any reports or filings made by SRI to or with
         the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  SECTION 6.13 Access to Certain Documentation; Obligors. The
Lender or the Agent (and their respective agents or professional advisors) shall
at the expense of the Borrower, have the right under this Agreement, once during
each calendar year, upon reasonable prior notice to the Servicer, to examine and
audit, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under
applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, or other
information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its
behalf, concerning this Agreement. The Lender and the Agent (and their
respective agents and professional advisors) shall treat as confidential any
information obtained during such examination which is not already publicly known
or available; provided, however, the Lender or the Agent may disclose such
information if required to do so by law or by any regulatory authority. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Servicer and the Borrower acknowledge and agree
that at least four (4) times during each calendar year the Agent (and its
respective agents or


                                       72
<PAGE>   77


professional advisors) shall, at the Agent's own expense, upon reasonable prior
notice to the Servicer and the Borrower, examine and audit, during business
hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable
circumstances, any and all of the books, records or other information of the
Servicer and/or the Borrower or held by another for the Servicer and/or the
Borrower or on its behalf concerning this Agreement and compliance therewith.

                  (b) The Lender or the Agent (and their respective agents or
professional advisors) shall, at their own expense, have the right under this
Agreement to, not more frequently than once each calendar quarter, contact the
Obligors with respect to any Receivables which are Pledged hereunder in order to
procure such information related to such Obligors and the related Receivables as
the Lender or the Agent deems reasonable under the circumstances. The Servicer
and the Borrower hereby agree to cooperate with the Lender and the Agent (and
their respective agents or professional advisors) in connection with any attempt
thereby to contact any such Obligor and shall provide to the Lender and the
Agent such information as is needed in order to facilitate such contact. The
Lender and the Agent (and their respective agents and professional advisors)
shall treat as confidential any information obtained during any such contact
with any such Obligor which is not already publicly known or available;
provided, however, the Lender or the Agent (and their respective agents or
professional advisors) may disclose such information if required to do so by law
or by any regulatory authority.

                  SECTION 6.14 Backup Servicer. If a Servicer Default shall
occur and is continuing, then the Agent may, by notice to the Servicer, the
Borrower and the Backup Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon the delivery to the Servicer and the
Backup Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Pledged Assets or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer pursuant to and under this Section,
and, without limitation, the Backup Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination or to perform the duties of the Servicer under this
Agreement. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Agent and the Backup
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, notification to the Obligors of
the assignment of the servicing function, providing the Backup Servicer with all
records, in electronic or other form, reasonably requested by it to enable the
Backup Servicer to assume the servicing functions hereunder and the transfer to
the Backup Servicer for administration by it all cash amounts which at the time
should be or should have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection
Account or thereafter be received by the Servicer with respect to the Pledged
Receivables. Neither the Agent nor the Backup Servicer shall be deemed to have
breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in
making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of
the Servicer to remit any amounts received by it or to deliver any documents
held by it with respect to the Pledged Assets.


                                       73
<PAGE>   78


                  The Backup Servicer's Fees and other expenses of the Backup
Servicer reimbursable hereunder for any successor Servicer shall be paid out of
Collections as set forth in Section 2.05(c) on and after the date, if any, that
the Backup Servicer assumes the responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to
this Section. The Backup Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor, except with respect to reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Backup Servicer incurred in connection with (i)
the foreclosure and disposition of any Interval in excess of the costs
associated with the taking back of the deed relating to such Interval in lieu of
foreclosure and (ii) enforcing or collecting upon Acceptable Title Policies.

                  Any obligations of SRI hereunder other than in its capacity as
Servicer shall continue in effect notwithstanding SRI's termination as Servicer.

                  On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to this Section 6.14, the Backup Servicer shall be (and the
Backup Servicer hereby agrees to be) the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be
subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Servicer's failure to provide information required by this Section 6.14
shall not be considered a default by the Backup Servicer hereunder. The Backup
Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was
required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the
Backup Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third
party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii)
no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the
Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the
Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer shall pay any income taxes for which
it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any
other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, (v) no liability or
obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior
Servicer, including the original Servicer and (vi) no obligation, when the
Backup Servicer is Wells Fargo, to comply with the collection procedures set
forth in the Credit and Collection Policy, but rather shall service the Pledged
Receivables in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01(b). The
indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor
Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to
act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition,
the Backup Servicer shall have no liability relating to the representations and
warranties of the Servicer contained in Article IV. Notwithstanding the above,
the Agent may, if the Backup Servicer shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if
the Backup Servicer is unable to so act, or if the Lender so requests in writing
to the Agent, appoint itself, or appoint any established servicing institution
acceptable to the Agent, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, and after the Agent notifies the Servicer to discontinue performing
servicing functions under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer (or the Agent if
there is no Backup Servicer) shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
In connection with


                                       74
<PAGE>   79


such appointment and assumption, the Agent may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Pledged Receivables as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that, except as provided herein,
no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer
hereunder, unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender. The Borrower, the Agent and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

                  The Backup Servicer may perform any of its duties hereunder
either directly or through an agent reasonably acceptable to the Agent provided
that the Backup Servicer shall be responsible to the other parties to this
Agreement for the performance of any such agent and such appointment shall in no
way affect the primary performance obligation of the Backup Servicer hereunder
to the other parties to this Agreement.

                  Prior to each Remittance Date, the Backup Servicer shall
compare the information on the computer tape or diskette (or other means of
electronic transmission acceptable to the Backup Servicer) most recently
delivered to the Backup Servicer by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(e) to
the Monthly Remittance Report most recently delivered to the Backup Servicer by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(e) and shall:

                  (a) confirm that such Monthly Remittance Report is complete on
its face;

                  (b) confirm the Remittance Date distributions to be made on
the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 2.05(c) hereof.

                  (c) verify the mathematical accuracy of the following fields
on such Monthly Remittance Report: (i) "Net Eligible Receivables Balance," (ii)
"Delinquency Rate," (iii) "Default Rate," (iv) "Excess Spread Rate" and (v)
"Weighted Average APR;" and

                  (d) deliver to the Agent a certification letter with respect
to the above substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto on or before such
Remittance Date.

                  In the event of any discrepancy between the information set
forth in subparagraphs (b) or (c) above as calculated by the Servicer from that
determined or calculated by the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall
promptly report such discrepancy to the Servicer and the Agent. In the event of
a discrepancy as described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer and the
Backup Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancies prior to the
related Remittance Date, but in the absence of a reconciliation, distributions
on the related Remittance Date shall be made consistent with the information
calculated by the Servicer, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt
to reconcile such discrepancies prior to the next Remittance Date, and the
Servicer shall promptly report to the Agent regarding the progress, if any,
which shall have been made in reconciling such discrepancies. If the Backup
Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile such discrepancies with
respect to such Monthly Remittance Report by the next Remittance Date that falls
in April, July, October or January, the Servicer shall cause independent
accountants acceptable to the Agent, at the Servicer's expense, to examine such


                                       75
<PAGE>   80


Monthly Remittance Report and attempt to reconcile such discrepancies at the
earliest possible date (and the Servicer shall promptly provide the Agent with a
report regarding such events). The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall
be reflected in the Monthly Remittance Report for the next succeeding Remittance
Date.

                  Other than as set forth in this Section 6.14, the Backup
Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer
the performance of the Servicer.

                  The Backup Servicer may not resign except upon sixty (60)
day's prior written notice to the Agent, the Servicer and the Borrower. In
addition, the Backup Servicer may be removed by the Agent or the Lender with or
without cause at any time. In the event of any such resignation or removal, the
Backup Servicer may be replaced by a new Backup Servicer selected by the Agent
upon notice to the Servicer and the Borrower, such new Backup Servicer to be
compensated in accordance with the second to last sentence of the fourth
paragraph of this Section 6.14.

                  SECTION 6.15 Additional Remedies of Agent Upon Event of
Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent, in addition
to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name
and as agent for the Lender, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Lender (including the
institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other
proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

                  SECTION 6.16 Waiver of Defaults. Upon consent of the Lender,
the Agent may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and
signed by the Agent on the Lender's behalf and no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to
the extent expressly so waived.

                  SECTION 6.17 Maintenance of Certain Insurance. During the
term of its service as Servicer, the Servicer shall maintain in force an "errors
and omissions" and an employee fidelity insurance policy, in each case, in an
amount not less than $2,000,000 in a form that would cover any loss of
Collections by the Servicer hereunder caused by employee dishonesty, and with an
insurance company reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the Agent. The
Servicer shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Agent and the
Lender, claims under any such policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy, and upon


                                       76
<PAGE>   81


the filing of any claim on any policy described in this Section, the Servicer
shall promptly notify the Agent of such claim.

                  SECTION 6.18 Segregation of Collections. The Servicer shall
not commingle funds constituting Collections with any other funds of the
Servicer.

                  SECTION 6.19 UCC Matters; Protection and Perfection of Pledged
Assets. The Borrower will not make any change to its corporate name or use any
tradenames, fictitious names, assumed names, "doing business as" names or other
names (other than those listed on Schedule III hereto, as such schedule may be
revised from time to time to reflect name changes and name usage permitted under
the terms of this Section 6.19 after compliance with all terms and conditions of
this Section 6.19 related thereto) unless prior to the effective date of any
such name change or use, the Borrower notifies the Agent of such change in
writing and delivers to the Agent such executed financing statements as the
Agent may reasonably request to reflect such name change or use, together with
such other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably request in
connection therewith. The Borrower will not change the location of its chief
executive office or the location of its records regarding the Pledged
Receivables unless prior to the effective date of any such change of location,
the Borrower notifies the Agent of such change of location in writing and
delivers to the Agent such executed financing statements as the Agent may
reasonably request to reflect such change of location, together with such
Opinions of Counsel, documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably
request in connection therewith. The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at
its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action that the Agent may reasonably request in
order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Lender's interest in the
Pledged Assets acquired hereunder, or to enable the Lender or the Agent to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will upon the request of the
Agent: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or appropriate or as the Agent may request
(provided that the Borrower shall not be required to execute and file such any
financing statements against individual Obligors), and (ii) mark its master data
processing records evidencing such Pledged Receivables with a legend acceptable
to the Agent, evidencing that the Lender has acquired an interest therein as
provided in this Agreement. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to file one
or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and
assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Pledged Receivables and the
Related Security related thereto and the proceeds of the foregoing now existing
or hereafter arising without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by
law. Subject to applicable law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Pledged Receivables, or
any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement. The Borrower
shall, upon the request of the Agent at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default and at the Borrower's expense, notify the Obligors obligated to
pay any Pledged Receivables, or any of them, of the security interest of the
Lender in the Pledged Assets. If the Borrower fails to perform any of its
agreements or obligations under this Section 6.19, the Agent may (but shall not
be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or
obligation, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in


                                       77
<PAGE>   82


connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower upon the Agent's demand
therefor. For purposes of enabling the Agent to exercise its rights described in
the preceding sentence and elsewhere in this Article VI, the Borrower and the
Lender hereby authorize each of the Agent and its successors and assigns to take
any and all steps in the Borrower's name and on behalf of the Borrower and the
Lender necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all
amounts due under any and all Pledged Receivables, including, without
limitation, endorsing the Borrower's name on checks and other instruments
representing Collections and enforcing such Pledged Receivables and, if any, the
related guarantees.

                  SECTION 6.20 Servicer Advances. The Servicer may, in its sole
discretion, make an advance in respect of any payment due on a Pledged
Receivable to the extent such payment has not been received by the Servicer as
of its due date and the Servicer reasonably expects such payment will be
ultimately recoverable (a "Servicer Advance"). The Servicer shall deposit into
the Collection Account in immediately available funds the aggregate of all
Servicer Advances to be made during a Remittance Period on or prior to the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date. The Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Servicer Advances from monies in the
Collection Account as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof.

                  SECTION 6.21 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant
or Representation and Warranty by SRI. The Borrower or the Servicer, as the
case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of any breach of SRI's representations, warranties
and/or covenants pursuant to Section 6.05 or Article V; provided, however, that
the failure to provide any such notice shall not diminish, in any manner
whatsoever, any obligation of SRI hereunder to repurchase any Pledged
Receivable. Unless such breach shall have been cured by the last day of the
first full calendar month following the discovery by or notice to SRI of such
breach, SRI shall have an obligation, and the Borrower shall and the Agent may,
enforce such obligation of SRI, to repurchase any Pledged Receivable materially
and adversely affected by such breach. The Borrower shall notify the Agent
promptly, in writing, of any failure by SRI to so repurchase any such Pledged
Receivable. In consideration of the repurchase of such Pledged Receivable, SRI
shall remit funds in an amount equal to the Release Price for such Pledged
Receivable to the Collection Account on the date of such repurchase.

                  (b) In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether
any Pledged Receivable shall have been repurchased by SRI pursuant to Section
6.21(a), SRI hereby indemnifies the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender against
all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or
incurred by any of them in connection with any of the events or facts giving
rise to a breach of SRI's representations, warranties, agreements and/or
covenants set forth in Article V or Article VI.

                  SECTION 6.22 Compliance with Applicable Law. The Servicer and
the Borrower shall at all times comply in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations
thereunder (including, without limitation but only if


                                       78
<PAGE>   83

and to the extent applicable, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade
Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's
Regulations " B" and "Z", the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940
and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer
Credit Code, the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act and all other consumer credit laws and equal credit
opportunity and disclosure laws and any regulations promulgated thereunder) in
the conduct of its business.

                  SECTION 6.23 UCC Releases. The Borrower shall use diligent
efforts to provide to Agent within 90 days of the date hereof, evidence of the
release by each Previous Lender of any right, title and interest that such
Previous Lender may have in any Pledged Receivables and Applicable Underlying
Collateral Pledged hereunder from time to time.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                  SECTION 7.01 Events of Default. If any of the following
events ("Events of Default") shall occur:

                  (a) the Facility Amount shall at any time be greater than the
lesser of (i) the Capital Limit or (ii) the Borrowing Limit minus the Discount
Amount; or

                  (d) the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to the
Borrower or SRI; or

                  (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made
by the Borrower or SRI (or any of their respective officers) under or in
connection with this Agreement, any remittance report or other information or
report delivered pursuant hereto or any other Transaction Document shall prove
to have been false or incorrect when made (including, without limitation, any
representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by SRI (or any of its
officers or agents) under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase
Agreement); provided, however, that if any breach described above is cured by
the repurchase of Receivables pursuant to Article VI of the Receivables Purchase
Agreement or by a repayment pursuant to Section 2.12 or a repurchase pursuant to
Section 6.21 hereof, such breach shall cease to constitute an Event of Default;
or

                  (d)(i) the Borrower or SRI shall fail to perform or observe
any term, covenant or agreement hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document (including the failure to make any payment or deposit to be made by it
hereunder or under the Fee Letter) when due and such failure remains unremedied
for two (2) Business Days after written notice thereof is provided by the Agent;
or


                                       79
<PAGE>   84

                  (e) the Borrower or SRI shall fail to pay any principal of or
premium or interest on any Debt (in the case of SRI, in an amount in excess of
$250,000) when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity,
required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and such failure shall
continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement
or instrument relating to such Debt; or any other default under any agreement or
instrument relating to any Debt or any other event, shall occur and shall
continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement
or instrument if the effect of such default or event is to accelerate, or to
permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt; or any such Debt shall be
declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a
regularly scheduled required prepayment) prior to the stated maturity thereof;
or

                  (f) the occurrence of any default under any of the terms of,
or otherwise in respect of, any agreement, security, note or certificate related
to any Take-Out Securitization or other outstanding term securitization serviced
by the Servicer and the passage of any applicable grace period without the cure
thereof; or

                  (g) the Lender shall at any time fail to have a valid,
perfected, first priority security interest in any of the Pledged Assets or (ii)
any purchase by the Borrower of a Receivable under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement shall, for any reason, cease to create in favor of the Borrower a
perfected ownership interest in such Receivable; provided, however, that if an
event described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) is cured by the repurchase
of Receivables pursuant to Article VI of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or
by a repayment pursuant to Section 2.12 or a repurchase pursuant to Section 6.21
hereof, such event shall cease to constitute an Event of Default; or

                  (h) the Borrower or SRI shall have suffered any material
adverse change to its financial condition or operations which would adversely
affect the collectibility of the Pledged Receivables or the Borrower's or SRI's
ability to conduct its business; or

                  (i) SRI or the Borrower can no longer conduct business for any
reason; or

                  (j) the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall cease to be in
full force and effect; or

                  (k) the occurrence of a Servicer Default (if the Servicer is
SRI or an Affiliate thereof); or

                  (l) SRI has at any time a Tangible Net Worth in an amount
which shall be less than an amount equal to (A) $140,000,000 plus (B)
seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate amount of proceeds received by SRI
after the date of this Agreement in connection with (1) each issuance by SRI of
any class or classes of capital stock after the date of this Agreement and (2)
each incurrence of Debt after the date of this Agreement, other than Debt which
shall be the most senior Debt of SRI plus (C) fifty percent (50%) of the
aggregate amount of net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) of SRI after
the date of this Agreement; or


                                       80
<PAGE>   85


                  (m) any failure shall have occurred on the part of the
Borrower or SRI duly to observe or perform in any material respect any covenant
or agreement related to any Purchased Rate Cap or any covenant or agreement
under the Sinking Fund Agreement;

then the Agent may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Early Amortization
Commencement Date to have occurred; provided, that, in the case of any event
described in 7.01(b) above, the Early Amortization Commencement Date shall be
deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon
any such declaration or automatic occurrence, (i) the Borrower shall cease
purchasing Receivables from SRI under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (ii)
the Lender shall cease issuing commercial paper notes to fund or maintain the
Loans hereunder, (iii) the Liquidity/Credit Enhancement Facility shall be drawn
upon by the Lender from time to time thereafter in order to retire the maturing
commercial paper notes issued to fund or maintain the Loans hereunder (and the
Loans hereunder maintained by the amounts so drawn under the Liquidity/Credit
Enhancement Facility shall bear interest at the Default Funding Rate), (iv) at
the option of the Lender in its sole discretion, the Lender may declare the
Loans made to the Borrower hereunder and all Yield and all Fees accrued on such
Loans and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable (and the
Borrower shall pay such Loans and all such amounts and Obligations immediately);
and (v) at the option of the Lender in its sole discretion, the Agent, on behalf
of the Lender, may direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Pledged
Receivables directly to the Backup Servicer, the Agent, the Lender or any
lockbox or account established by any of such parties. In addition, upon any
such declaration or upon any such automatic occurrence, the Agent and the Lender
shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or
otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the
applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be
cumulative. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Non-CP Rate and the
CP Rate shall be increased to the Default Funding Rate, effective as of the date
of the occurrence of such Event of Default and shall remain at the Default
Funding Rate.

                  SECTION 7.02 Additional Remedies of Agent and Lender. If,
upon the Lender's declaration that the Loans made to the Borrower hereunder are
immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or on the Facility Maturity
Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, all accrued Fees
and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the
Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the
right, in its own name and as agent for the Lender, to immediately sell in a
commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in accordance with applicable law,
in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Agent may
reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Pledged Assets and apply the proceeds
thereof to the Obligations.

                  (b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell
all of the Pledged Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with
the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Pledged
Assets may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Agent may elect, in its sole
discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Pledged Assets and nothing
contained herein shall obligate the Agent to liquidate any Pledged Assets on the
date the


                                       81
<PAGE>   86


Lender declares the Loans made to the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due
and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all Pledged Assets in the
same manner or on the same Business Day.

                  (c) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the
Pledged Assets pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will
be returned to the Borrower, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct.

                  (d) The Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all
the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal,
state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
state, to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code is applicable, and the
right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to
the lenders in law, in equity, or under any other agreement between the Lender
and the Borrower.

                  (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,
and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair
any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Early
Amortization Event or Event of Default.

                  (f) If a Development is no longer an Eligible Development, no
additional Receivables related to such Development will be financed under this
Agreement until such time as the circumstance which caused such Development to
cease to be an Eligible Development no longer exists.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                  SECTION 8.01 Indemnities by the Borrower. Without limiting
any other rights which the Agent, the Lender, the Backup Servicer or any of
their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under applicable law, the
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Lender, the Backup Servicer
and each of their respective Affiliates (each an "Indemnified Party" for
purposes of this Article VIII) from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them
arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or in respect of any Pledged
Assets, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent, the Lender, the
Backup Servicer or such Affiliate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower
shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or
resulting from:


                                       82
<PAGE>   87


                  (a) any Pledged Receivable treated as or represented by the
Borrower to be an Eligible Receivable which is not an Eligible Receivable;

                  (b) reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed
made by the Borrower or any of its agents, including without limitation, the
Servicer or any of their respective officers under or in connection with this
Agreement, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when
made or deemed made or delivered;

                  (c) the failure by the Borrower or any of its agents,
including without limitation, the Servicer to comply with any term, provision or
covenant contained in this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection
with this Agreement, or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect
to any Pledged Assets, or the nonconformity of any Pledged Assets with any such
applicable law, rule or regulation;

                  (d) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent, for
the benefit of the Lender, or to transfer to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Lender, a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables which
are, or are purported to be, Pledged Receivables, together with all Collections,
Related Security and other Pledged Assets related thereto (including, without
limitation, any and all Intervals with respect to such Receivables), free and
clear of any Adverse Claim whether existing at the time of the related Borrowing
or at any time thereafter;

                  (e) the failure to maintain, as of the close of business on
each Business Day prior to the Collection Date, a Facility Amount which is less
than or equal to the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Limit minus the Discount Amount
on such Business Day, or (y) the Capital Limit on such Business Day (provided,
that in determining the Capital Limit for purposes of this Section 8.01(e), all
information used in such determination must be accurate as of the date of such
determination);

                  (f) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC or real

specific purpose for which given.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01(a), in the
event that there is more than one Lender, the written consent of each Lender
shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver (i) reducing any

                  SECTION 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies. Except as set forth in

<PAGE>   91


any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

                  SECTION 9.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.
(i) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, the Servicer, the Agent, the Lender, the Backup Servicer and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the Lender's
rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein shall be assignable in
whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests
therein) by the Lender and its successors and assigns. None of the Borrower, the
Servicer or the Backup Servicer may assign any of its rights and obligations
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender
and the Agent. The parties to each assignment or participation made pursuant to
this Section 9.04 shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance and
recording in its books and records, an assignment and acceptance agreement (an
"Assignment and Acceptance") or a participation agreement or other transfer
instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and the
Borrower. Each such assignment or participation shall be effective as of the
date specified in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance or other agreement or
instrument only after the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording as
described in the preceding sentence. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
assignment or participation thereof made pursuant to this Section 9.04. The
Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or any proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information
relating to the Borrower and the Pledged Assets furnished to the Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower or the Servicer.

                  Whenever the term "Lender" is used herein, it shall mean
Autobahn and/or any other Person which shall have executed an Assignment and
Acceptance; provided, however, that each such party shall have a pro rata share
of the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder in such percentage amount
(the "Commitment Percentage") as shall be obtained by dividing such party's
commitment to fund Loans hereunder by the total commitment of all parties to
fund Loans hereunder. Any right at any time of the Lender to enforce any remedy,
or instruct the Agent to take (or refrain from taking) any action hereunder,
shall be exercised by the Agent only upon direction by such parties that hold a
majority of the Commitment Percentages at such time.

                  SECTION 9.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement including,
without limitation, the Borrower's obligation to observe its covenants set forth
in Articles V and VI, and the Servicer's obligation to observe its covenants set
forth in Articles V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the
Collection Date; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to
any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the
Borrower or Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and
payment provisions of Article VIII and Article IX and the provisions of Section
9.08 and Section 9.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.
