location, of the Note Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect
the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the
Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of
the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses
of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

        Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or
agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, provided that
the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the
Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount.

        At the option of a Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the
same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, provided that the
requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee,
the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

        Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a
correspondent located, in The City of New York or the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office is located, or by a member firm of a national securities
exchange, and such other documents as the Trustee may require.

        No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any
transfer.

        The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer
shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers
or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15
days preceding the due date for the payment in full of such Note.

        Copies of this Indenture (without exhibits) may be obtained by
Noteholders upon request in writing to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office.

        Section 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, (ii) there is
delivered to the Trustee and the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing) such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to hold the Issuer, the Trustee and the Insurer harmless and (iii) the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then, in the absence of notice
to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), the
Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called
for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the
preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC)
of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents
for payment such original Note, the Issuer, the Insurer and the Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such
Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such
Person, except a protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity



                                       15
<PAGE>

provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

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

        Section 2.06. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Insurer and
any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and
none of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee nor any of their respective agents
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

        Section 2.07. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

        (a)     Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest at the related
Interest Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each Distribution Date as
specified in Article Five of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in the form of
the related Note set forth as an Exhibit hereto, subject to Section 3.01. Any
installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is
punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable
Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or
more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed
first-class, postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note
Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been
issued pursuant to Section 2.11, with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the
final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a
Distribution Date, a Redemption Date or on the related Final Scheduled
Distribution Date, as the case may be, which, in the case of the payment of a
redemption pursuant to Section 10.01(a), shall be payable pursuant to Section
9.01(e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in each other case shall be
payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned
undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.



                                       16
<PAGE>

        (b)     The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Distribution
Date to the extent provided in Article Five of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and in the form of the related Note set forth as an Exhibit hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of each Class
of Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the related Final
Scheduled Distribution Date or on the date on which an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount have declared the Notes to be immediately due
and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on
the Notes shall be made first to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes and then on
each of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3A Notes, Class A-3B, Class A-4A and Class
A-4B Notes pro rata to the Holder of such Class entitled thereto. The Trustee
shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer
expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note
will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed within five Business Days of such
Distribution Date (or, in the case of Notes registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of DTC, such notice shall be provided within one Business Day of
such Distribution Date) or receipt of notice of termination of the Issuer
pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust Agreement and shall specify that such
final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such
Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and
surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with
redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section
10.02. In addition, the Administrator shall notify the Rating Agencies upon the
final payment of interest and principal of each Class of Notes, and upon the
termination of the Issuer, in each case pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) of the
Administration Agreement.

        (c)     If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted
interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful
manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are
Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least
five Business Days prior to the related payment date. The Issuer shall fix or
cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least
15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to the
Trustee and each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the
payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

        (d)     Promptly following the date on which all principal of and
interest on the Notes has been paid in full and the Notes have been surrendered
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall, if the Insurer has paid any amount in respect
of the Notes under the Note Policy which has not been reimbursed to it, deliver
such surrendered Notes to the Insurer.

        Section 2.08. Cancellation. Subject to Section 2.07(d), all Notes
surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.07(d), the
Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly
cancelled



                                       17
<PAGE>

by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.07(d), all cancelled Notes may be held
or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an
Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer
Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the
Trustee.

        Section 2.09. Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of,
the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the
name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note
Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in
such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive,
fully registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to Note Owners
pursuant to Section 2.11:

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

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

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

               (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through
        the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
        agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the
        Clearing Agency Participants; pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement,
        unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11,
        the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing
        Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of
        and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

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

        Section 2.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section
2.11, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall
have no obligation to the Note Owners.

        Section 2.11. Definitive Notes.

        (a)     If (i)(A) the Administrator advises the Trustee in writing that
the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as described in the Note Depository Agreement, and (B) Trustee
or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Note Owners representing not less than
51% of the Outstanding Amount of a Class of Notes advise the Trustee and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the related Note Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all
Note Owners of the related Class of Notes, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the
related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of a Class, the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

        The Trustee shall not be liable if the Trustee or the Administrator is
unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. The Definitive Notes
shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any
combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as
determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution
of such Notes.

        Section 2.12. Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.01 and the
other Basic Documents, the Trustee shall release property from the lien of this
Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance
with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such
Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such
Independent Certificates.

        Section 2.13. Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture,
and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and
local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify
as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by
entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note
(and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable
Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income,
single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

                                    COVENANTS

        Section 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly
and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the
foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause to be distributed
all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account in respect of the
related Due Period on a Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of (i) the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class
A-1 Noteholders, (ii) the Class A-2 Notes, to the Class A-2 Noteholders, (iii)
the Class A-3A Notes, to the Class A-3A Noteholders, (iv) the Class A-3B Notes,
to the Class A-3B Noteholders, (v) the Class A-4A Notes, to the Class A-4A
Noteholders and (vi) the Class A-4B Notes, to the Class A-4B Noteholders.
Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any
Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid
by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

        Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Chase Manhattan Bank,
as agent for the Issuer, will maintain in The City of New York an office or
agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee
to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the
location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to
maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

        Section 3.03. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. As provided in
Sections 5.06 and 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account
and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.02(b) shall be made on
behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts
so withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account for
payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this
Section.

        On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date and
Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note
Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly
notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

        The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Insurer an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the



                                       20
<PAGE>

Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject
to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

        Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount
due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and upon
receipt of an Issuer Request with the consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be deposited by the Trustee
in the Collection Account; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that if such money or any portion
thereof had been previously deposited by the Insurer with the Trustee for the
payment of principal or interest on the Notes, to the extent any amounts are
owing to the Insurer, such amounts shall be paid promptly to the Insurer upon
receipt of a written request by the Insurer to such effect, and provided,
further, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once,
in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that



                                       21
<PAGE>

such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to or for the account of the
Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any
other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not
limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been
called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or
interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for
each such Holder).

        Section 3.04. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State
of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States, in which
case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements and each
other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

        Section 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer intends the
security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust
Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain,
for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and
a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate, subject to
the rights of the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement. The Issuer will from
time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and
all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further
assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Master Servicer and
delivered to the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

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

                (ii)    maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and
        the priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more
        effectively the purposes hereof;

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

                (iv)    enforce any of the Collateral;

                (v)     preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the
        rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against
        the claims of all persons and parties; or

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

        The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact
to execute all financing statements, continuation statements or other
instruments required to be executed pursuant to this Section.

<PAGE>

        Section 3.06. Opinions as to Trust Estate.

        (a)     Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements
and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to
create and continue the Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in
the collateral (subject to the rights of the Insurer under the Insurance
Agreement) for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such
filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are
given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security
interest.

        (b)     Within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year
beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after
the Cut-Off Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Insurer an
Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, to the effect
that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements and
continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to
create and continue the Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in
the collateral (subject to the rights of the Insurer under the Insurance
Agreement) for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such
filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are
given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security
interest.

        Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts.

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

        (b)     The Issuer may contract with other Persons acceptable to the
Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) to
assist it in performing its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any
performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Trustee and the Insurer
in an Officer's Certificate shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for the action or inaction of the Master
Servicer or the Administrator. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the
Master Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its
duties under this Indenture.

        (c)     The Issuer will, and will cause the Administrator to, punctually
perform and observe all of the obligations and agreements of the Issuer and the
Administrator contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the
instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not
limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and
continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and
the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods
provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein,
the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic
Document or any provision thereof without the



                                       23
<PAGE>

consent of the Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding
Amount or such greater percentage as may be specified in the particular
provision.

        (d)     If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Insurer, the
Swap Counterparty and each Rating Agency thereof, and shall specify in such
notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default. If
a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Master Servicer to
perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Contracts, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps
available to it to remedy such failure.

        (e)     If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
if the Issuer has given notice of termination to the Master Servicer of the
Master Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Issuer shall
appoint a successor servicer (the "Successor Master Servicer"), and such
Successor Master Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption
in a form acceptable to the Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master
Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when
the Master Servicer ceases to act as Master Servicer, the Trustee without
further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Master Servicer.
The Trustee may resign as the Successor Master Servicer by giving written notice
of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such
duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new
servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below.
Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new
servicer as the Successor Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Any Successor Master Servicer other than the Trustee shall (i) be an
established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle
receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having
substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement applicable to the Master Servicer. If within 30 days after the
delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained
such a new Master Servicer, the Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Master Servicer. In connection
with any such appointment, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to
the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in
accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the
Contracts (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee). If the Trustee shall succeed to the Master Servicer's duties as
servicer of the Contracts as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual
capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article Six shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor
to the Master Servicer and the servicing of the Contracts. In case the Trustee
shall become successor to the Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Master Servicer one of
its Affiliates, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and
omissions of such Affiliate in such capacity as Successor Master Servicer.

        (f)     Upon any termination of the Master Servicer's rights and powers
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify
the Trustee. As soon as a


                                       24
<PAGE>

successor Master Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of
such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such
successor Master Servicer.

        (g)     The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or
observance by the Master Servicer or the Seller of their respective duties under
the Basic Documents: (i) without the prior consent of the Insurer (unless an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Policy Expiration
Date has occurred) or (ii) if the effect thereof would adversely affect the
Holders of the Notes or the Swap Counterparty.

        Section 3.08. Negative Covenants. Until the Termination Date, the Issuer
shall not:

                (i)     except as expressly permitted by the Basic Documents,
        sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties
        or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate,
        unless directed to do so by the Controlling Party;

                (ii)    claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the
        principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than
        amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or
        applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former
        Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon
        any part of the Trust Estate;

                (iii)   (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this
        Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien created by this Indenture
        to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or
        permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
        respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly
        permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security
        interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this
        Indenture or the lien in favor of the Insurer created by the Insurance
        Agreement) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or
        burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or
        the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics' liens and other
        liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on a Financed Vehicle
        and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related
        Obligor), (C) permit the lien created by this Indenture not to
        constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such
        tax, mechanics' or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate, or
        (D) amend, modify or fail to comply with the provisions of the Basic
        Documents without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party,
        except where the Basic Documents allow for amendment or modification
        without the consent or approval of the Controlling Party; or

                (iv)    dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part.

        Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver
to the Trustee and the Insurer, on or before 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001) an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing
such Officer's Certificate, that:

        (a)     a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of
performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer's
supervision; and



                                       25
<PAGE>

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

        Section 3.10. Issuer May Consolidate, etc. Only on Certain Terms.

        (a) The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other
Person, unless:

        surviving such consolidation or merger shall be a Person organized and

        principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or observance
        of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture and each other Basic

        continuing) to the effect that such consolidation or merger will not
        have any material adverse tax consequence to the Issuer, the Insurer,
        the Swap Counterparty, any Noteholder or any Certificateholder;

                (v)     any action as is necessary to maintain the lien and

Agreement, to fund the Spread Account and to pay the transactional expenses of
the Issuer.

        Section 5.01. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

                (i)     default by the Issuer in the payment of any interest on
        any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall
        continue for a period of five days, without taking into account the
        effect of any payment under the Note Policy;

               (ii) default by the Issuer in the payment of the principal of or

                (iii)   default in the observance or performance of any covenant
        or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant

        elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), or any
        representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture, any
        other Basic Document or in any certificate or other writing delivered
        pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proves to have been incorrect
        in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been
        made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the
        circumstance or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or
        warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise
        cured, for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by
        registered or certified mail, to the Issuer and the Trustee by the
        Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
        continuing) or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
        continuing, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the
        Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the
        Notes, voting together as a single class, a written notice specifying
        such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to
        be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"
        hereunder;

                (iv)    the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court
        having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any
        substantial part of the Trust Estate in an involuntary case under any
        applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
        now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
        assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the
        Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or ordering the
        winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer's affairs, and such decree or
        order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
        days; or

                (v)     the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under
        any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
        law now or hereafter in effect, or

        the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an
        involuntary case under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the
        appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
        custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or
        for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by the
        Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
        failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become
        due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the
        foregoing.

        The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the
Insurer, within five days after obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of any event which with
the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default
under clause (iii) above, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.

        Section 5.02. Rights upon Event of Default.

        (a)     So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then with the consent
of the Insurer, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at par,
together with accrued interest thereon. The Trustee will have no discretion with
respect to the acceleration of the Notes under the foregoing circumstances. In
the event of any such acceleration of the Notes, the Trustee shall continue to
be entitled to make claims under the Note Policy pursuant to Section 5.18 for
Scheduled Payments on the Notes. Payments under the Note Policy following
acceleration of the Notes shall be applied by the Trustee:

                (i)     to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
        for interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
        according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest;

                (ii)    to the Class A-1 Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid
        on such Class A-1 Notes for principal, ratably without preference of any
        kind, according to amounts due on the Class A-1 Notes for principal; and

                (iii)   to each other Class of Noteholders for amounts due and
        unpaid on such Class of Notes for principal, ratably, without preference
        or priority of any kind, according to amounts due and payable on the
        Notes for principal.

        (b)     So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, in
the event the Notes are accelerated due to an Event of Default, the Insurer
shall have the right (in addition to its obligation to pay Scheduled Payments on
the Notes in accordance with the Note Policy), but not the obligation, to elect:

                (i)     to cause the Trustee or the Master Servicer, subject to
        Section 5.04, to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate, in whole or in
        part, on any date or dates following such acceleration as the Insurer,
        in its sole discretion, shall elect; or

                (ii)    to pay Scheduled Payments on the Notes in accordance
        with the Note Policy.

        (c)     If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, or
if so requested in writing by Holders of Notes representing at least 66 2/3% of
the aggregate Outstanding Amount, upon prior written notice to each Rating
Agency, shall declare by written notice to the Issuer that the Notes become,
whereupon they shall become, immediately due and payable at par, together with
accrued interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
paragraph (c), if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) shall
occur and be continuing when an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued
interest thereon.

        Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee; Authority of Controlling Party.

        (a)     The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at
the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and
its agents and counsel.

        (b)     Each of the Trustee and the Insurer hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally appoints the Controlling Party as the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of such Person for so long as such Person is not the
Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to
do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead
of such Person such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and in the name
of such Person under this Indenture (including specifically under Section 5.04)
and under the other Basic Documents which such Person could or might do or which
may be necessary, desirable or convenient in such Controlling Party's sole
discretion to effect the purposes contemplated hereunder and under the other
Basic Documents and, without limitation, following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking,
any and all acts with respect to the administration, maintenance or disposition
of the Trust Estate.

        (c)     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
in its discretion but with the consent of the Controlling Party (except as
provided in Section 5.03(d)), proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the
Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or
legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

        (d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture and regardless of whether an Insurer Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, if the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under Section
10.01(b) when and as due, the Trustee may in its discretion (and without the
consent of the Controlling Party) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and




                                       34
<PAGE>

the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other remedy or
legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law;
provided that the Trustee shall only be entitled to take any such actions
without the consent of the Controlling Party to the extent such actions (i) are
taken only to enforce the Issuer's obligations to redeem the principal amount of
Notes and (ii) are taken only against the portion of the Collateral, if any,
consisting of the Spread Account, any investments therein and any proceeds
thereof.

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

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

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

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

                (iv)    to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
        documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
        of the Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings
        relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and any trustee,
        receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such
        Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
        payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
        consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay
        to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable




                                       35
<PAGE>

        compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their
        respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
        liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each
        predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

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

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

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

        Section 5.04. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing the Controlling Party may (subject to Sections 5.02 and 5.05):

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

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

                (iii)   exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
        and any other remedy available to the Trustee and take any other
        appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the
        Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under this Indenture or the Notes;
        and

                (iv)    direct the Trustee or the Master Servicer to sell or
        otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
        interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
        conducted in any manner permitted by law and deliver the proceeds of
        such sale or liquidation to the Trustee for distribution in accordance
        with the terms of this Indenture; provided, however, that, except as
        otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no such sale
        or liquidation can be made if the proceeds



                                       36
<PAGE>

        of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are not
        sufficient to pay all outstanding principal of and accrued interest on
        the Notes.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
need not be sufficient to pay all outstanding principal of and accrued interest
on the Notes if (A) the Insurer is the Controlling Party and the related Event
of Default arose as described in clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01
or (B) the Trustee is the Controlling Party and the related Event of Default
arose as described in clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01 and (1) the
Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting together as a
single class, consent to such sale or liquidation or (2) the Trustee determines
that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due
if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, the Trustee provides prior
written notice of such sale or liquidation to each Rating Agency and Holders of
66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting together as a single
class, consent to such sale or liquidation. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency of (i) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation to pay all
outstanding principal of and accrued interest on the Notes or (ii) the Trust
Estate to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest
on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared
due and payable, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion
of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Trust Estate for such purpose.

        Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Contracts. If the Trustee is
the Controlling Party and if the Notes have been declared to be due and payable
under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but need
not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the
parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Trustee shall
take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of
the Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion
of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Trust Estate for such purpose.

        Section 5.06. Priorities.

        (a)     If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article (excluding any payments made under the Note Policy), it shall pay out
the money or property in the following order and priority:

                (i)     amounts due and owing and required to be distributed to
        the Master Servicer, the Swap Counterparty (including all Swap
        Termination Payments), the Owner Trustee and the Trustee, respectively,
        pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.05(a) of the Sale
        and Servicing Agreement and not previously distributed, in the order of
        such priorities and without preference or priority of any kind within
        such priorities;


                                       37
<PAGE>

                (ii)    to each Class of Noteholders, accrued and unpaid
        interest on the outstanding principal amount of the related Class of
        Notes at the related Interest Rate, together with, to the extent
        permitted by applicable law, interest at the related Interest Rate on
        any interest accrued but not timely paid;

                (iii)   to Holders of the Class A-1 Notes for amounts due and
        unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes for principal, ratably, without preference
        or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
        Class A-1 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class
        A-1 Notes is reduced to zero;

                (iv)    to Holders of the Class A-2 Notes for amounts due and
        unpaid on the Class A-2 Notes for principal, ratably, without preference
        or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
        Class A-2 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class
        A-2 Notes is reduced to zero;

                (v)     to Holders of the Class A-3A Notes and Class A-3B Notes
        for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-3A Notes and Class A-3B Notes
        for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
        according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-3A Notes and
        Class A-3B Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of each of
        the Class A-3A Notes and Class 3B Notes reduced to zero;

                (vi)    to Holders of the Class A-4A Notes and Class A-4B Notes
        for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-4A Notes and Class A-4B Notes
        for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
        according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-4A Notes and
        Class A-4B Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of each of
        the Class A-4A Notes and Class A-4B Notes is reduced to zero;

                (vii)   amounts due and owing and required to be distributed to
        the Insurer pursuant to clause (vi) of Section 5.05(a) of the Sale and
        Servicing Agreement and not previously distributed; and

                (viii)  any excess amounts remaining after making the
        distributions described in clauses (i) through (viii) above shall be
        distributed in the following order of priority: into the Spread Account
        until the amounts deposited therein equal the Specified Spread Account
        Balance, with any excess being distributed, first, to the Insurer, to
        the extent of any Unreimbursed Insurer Amounts, second, to WFSRC until
        WFSRC has received full repayment of its Spread Account Initial Deposit,
        and third, to the Owner Trustee for distribution in accordance with the
        Trust Agreement.

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

        Section 5.07. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:



                                       38
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

                (v)     no direction inconsistent with such written request has
        been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
        majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting together as a
        single class; and

                (vi)    an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
        continuing.

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

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

        Section 5.08. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that so long as an
Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, no such suit shall be
instituted.

        Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Controlling
Party or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted.


                                       39
<PAGE>

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

        Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by
law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.

        Section 5.12. Control by Noteholders. If the Trustee is the Controlling
Party, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

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

                (ii)    subject to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to
        the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the
        Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding
        Amount of the Notes;

               (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been
        satisfied and the Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to
        such Section, then any direction to the Trustee by Holders of Notes
        representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to
        sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

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

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines, in its
sole discretion, might involve it in liability or might materially adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

        Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. If an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of
Default and its consequences except a Default (i) in payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes



                                       40
<PAGE>

shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

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

        Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee,
the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i)
any suit instituted by the Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder,
or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (iii) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

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

        Section 5.16. Action on Notes. The Trustee's right to seek and recover
judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the
seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to
this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of
the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment
by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Trustee shall be applied in
accordance with Section 5.06.

        Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

        (a)     Promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at
the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the
Seller and the Master Servicer as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies,
powers



                                       41
<PAGE>

and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the
Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the
Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of a
Seller or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such
Seller or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

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

        Section 5.18. Claims Under Note Policy.

        (a)     In the event that the Trustee has received a Deficiency Notice
with respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02(c) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer no later than
12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date a completed Notice of Claim in the amount of the shortfall in
amounts so available to pay the Note Interest Distributable Amount and the Note
Principal Distributable Amount with respect to such Distribution Date (the
amount of any such shortfall being hereinafter referred to as the "Note Policy
Claim Amount"). Amounts paid by the Insurer pursuant to a claim submitted under
this Section shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Note Distribution
Account for payment to Noteholders on the related Distribution Date.

        (b)     Any notice delivered by the Trustee to the Insurer pursuant to
Section 5.18(a) shall specify the Note Policy Claim Amount claimed under the
Note Policy and shall constitute a "Notice of Claim" under the Note Policy. In
accordance with the provisions of the Note Policy, the Insurer is required to
pay to the Trustee the Note Policy Claim Amount properly claimed thereunder by
12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the later of (i) the fourth Business Day
following receipt of the Notice of Claim and (ii) the applicable Distribution
Date. Any payment made by the Insurer under the Note Policy shall be applied
solely to the payment of the Notes, and for no other purpose.

        (c)     The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each
Noteholder any Note Policy Claim Amount from the Insurer and (ii) deposit the
same in the Note Distribution Account for distribution to Noteholders as
provided in Sections 3.01 or 5.02. Any and all Note Policy Claim Amounts
disbursed by the Trustee from claims made under the Note Policy shall not be
considered payment by the Issuer or from the Spread Account with respect to such
Notes, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect
thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to
the Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments to
the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with
respect to the Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Trustee shall assign to
the Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to
the Notes which are then



                                       42
<PAGE>

due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer and the
Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to
the Notes to the extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Note Policy. To
evidence such subrogation, the Note Registrar shall note the Insurer's rights as
subrogee upon the register of Noteholders upon receipt from the Insurer of proof
of payment by the Insurer of any Note Interest Distributable Amount or Note
Principal Distributable Amount. The foregoing subrogation shall in all cases be
subject to the rights of the Noteholders to receive all Scheduled Payments in
respect of the Notes.

        (d)     The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all
funds deposited by the Insurer into the Note Distribution Account and the
allocation of such funds to payment of interest on and principal paid in respect
of any Note. The Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Trustee.

        (e)     The Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the
Noteholders the obligations of the Insurer under the Note Policy.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Basic
Document, the Noteholders are not entitled to institute proceedings directly
against the Insurer.

        Section 5.19. Preference Claims.

        (a)     In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of
an order of the appropriate court that any Note Interest Distributable Amount or
Note Principal Distributable Amount paid on a Note has been avoided in whole or
in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee
shall so notify the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Note Policy
to obtain payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time
it provides notice to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in
the event that any Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will
be entitled to payment pursuant to the Note Policy. The Trustee shall furnish to
the Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on
Notes, if any, which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered
from Noteholders, and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to
the Note Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the Noteholder
to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy
named in the Order (as such term is defined in the Note Policy) and not to the
Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has previously paid such
payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in
bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer will make such payment to the Trustee for
distribution to such Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Insurer).

        (b)     To the extent that a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge
thereof, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or the
institution of any action seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law
(a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Notes. Each
Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Trustee hereby agree that so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at
any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference
Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim including, without
limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any
Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance




                                       43
<PAGE>

bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but subject to
reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition, and without
limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.18(c), the Insurer shall
be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Trustee hereby delegate and
assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Trustee and
each Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary
proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any
such Preference Claim. In addition, for so long as the Insurer guarantees
amounts owing on the RIC and has not defaulted in the making of any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to such guaranty, the Insurer shall have the
right to initiate and control a proceeding against the obligor under the RIC but
only to the extent such proceeding relates to the amounts so guaranteed and no
settlement of any other proceeding or claim that would adversely affect the
Insurer's rights to recover such amounts shall be affected without the prior
written consent of the Insurer.

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

        Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.

        (a)     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and
in the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
affairs; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(e), the Trustee in performing such
duties shall use the degree of care and skill customarily exercised by a prudent
institutional servicer with respect to automobile retail installment sales
contracts that it services for itself or others.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (e)     The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it.



                                       45
<PAGE>

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

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

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

        (i)     The Trustee shall, upon one Business Day's prior notice to the
Trustee, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at
the expense of the Issuer, and if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at the expense of the Insurer, permit any representative of the
Insurer, during the Trustee's normal business hours, to examine all books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes,
to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss the Trustee's affairs and
actions, as such affairs and actions relate to the Trustee's duties with respect
to the Notes, with the Trustee's officers and employees responsible for carrying
out the Trustee's duties with respect to the Notes.

        (j)     The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will (i) perform
all of the obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and (ii) hold the Note Policy in trust, and will hold any proceeds of
any claim on the Note Policy in trust solely for the use and benefit of the
Noteholders.

        (k)     Except as otherwise required or permitted by the TIA, nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to engage in any
business operations or any activities other than those set forth in this
Indenture. Specifically, the Trustee shall have no authority to engage in any
business operations, acquire any assets other than those specifically included
in the Trust Estate under this Indenture or otherwise vary the assets held by
the Issuer. Similarly, the Trustee shall have no discretionary duties other than
performing those ministerial acts set forth above necessary to accomplish the
purpose of the Issuer as set forth in this Indenture.

        Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee.

        (a)     Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02(g) and the second
succeeding sentence, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
acting upon or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, note,
direction, demand, election or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that shall be specifically required to be


                                       46
<PAGE>
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to
determine whether they comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.

        (b)     Other than with respect to actions required to be taken by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.18 and 5.19, before the Trustee acts or refrains
from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate (with respect to factual
matters) or an Opinion of Counsel, as applicable. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the
Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

        (c)     The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any
such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it
hereunder.

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

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

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

        (g)     The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Insurer (so
long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or (if an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) by the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The
reasonable expense of each such investigation shall be paid by the Person making
such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person
making such request upon demand.

        Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee is required to comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

        Section 6.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the
Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for
any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee's
certificate of authentication.

        Section 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to each Noteholder and the Insurer notice of the Default within 90 days
after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or
interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption of Notes),
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of Noteholders.

        Section 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall deliver
to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to
prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

        Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited
by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall,
or shall cause the Administrator to, reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of
any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify
the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the
Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Administrator to, defend any such claim, and the Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay the fees
and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.

        The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this Section
shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with
respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to




                                       48

constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

        Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time
by so notifying the Issuer, the Master Servicer and the Insurer. The Issuer,
may, with the consent of the Insurer, and, at the request of the Insurer shall,
remove the Trustee, unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) if:

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

                (ii)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect
        of the Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or
        state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or
        any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
        similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or
        appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
        conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trustee or for
        any substantial part of the Trustee's property, or ordering the
        winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee's affairs, provided any such
        decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period
        of 30 consecutive days;

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

                (iv)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

        If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to
herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default
shall not have occurred and be continuing). If the Issuer fails to appoint such
a successor Trustee, the Insurer may appoint a successor Trustee.

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

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

        Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this
Section and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
retiring Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts
as such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 6.07.

        Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its

further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, that such corporation or
banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section
6.11. The Trustee shall provide the Insurer and each Rating Agency prompt notice
of any such transaction.

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

        (a)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee and
the Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, such title to
the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee
and the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 6.11 and no
notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 6.08.

permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture,
the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the
provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel
shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust
Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent
investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other
instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action.

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

        Section 9.01. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Noteholders.

        (a)     Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with the
consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or the Policy Expiration Date has occurred) and with prior notice to
each Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustee, when
authorized by an Issuer Order, and the other parties hereto at any time and from
time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which
shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the
execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the
following purposes:

                (i)     to correct or amplify the description of any property at
        any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure,
        convey or confirm unto the Trustee any property subject or required to
        be subjected to the lien created by this Indenture, or to subject to the
        lien created by this Indenture additional property;

                (ii)    to evidence the succession, in compliance with the
        applicable provisions hereof, of another Person to the Issuer, and the
        assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein
        and in the Notes contained;

                (iii)   to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit
        of the Holders of the Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein
        conferred upon the Issuer;

                (iv)    to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
        property to or with the Trustee;

                (v)     to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
        provision herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be
        inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental
        indenture or the other Basic Documents or to make any other provisions
        with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in
        any supplemental indenture that shall not be inconsistent with the
        provisions of this Indenture; provided that such action shall not
        adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes or result in
        the creation of a new security;

                (vi)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
        appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes
        and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall
        be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
        more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article Six; or

                (vii)   to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
        Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
        qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar
        federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such
        other provisions as may he expressly required by the TIA.



                                       58

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

        (b)     The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order,
may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with the
consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or the Policy Expiration Date has occurred) and with prior notice to
each Rating Agency, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided,
however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or the
Swap Counterparty or result in the creation of a new security.

        Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior
notice to each Rating Agency, with the consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing), the Swap Counterparty and with
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee,
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that, subject to
the express rights of the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby:

                (i)     change the date of payment of any installment of
        principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount
        thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect
        thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
        application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust
        Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change
        any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note
        or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute
        suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring
        the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article
        Five, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
        respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
        the Redemption Date);

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

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




                                       59
<PAGE>

                (iv)    reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
        Notes required to direct the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust
        Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or amend the provisions of this Article
        which specify the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
        required to amend this Indenture or the other Basic Documents;

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

                (vi)    permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a
        parity with the lien created by this Indenture with respect to any part
        of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
        herein, terminate the lien created by this Indenture on any property at
        any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the
        security provided by the lien created by this Indenture, and further
        provided that any such action will not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
        Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, result in the creation of a new
        security.

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

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

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

        Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by
this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to
Sections 6.01 and 6.02 shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

        Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of
the parties hereto and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined,



                                       60
<PAGE>

exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental
indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture for any and all purposes.

        Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

        Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new
notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer,
to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
Notes.

                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

        Section 10.01. Redemption.

        (a)     In the event that the Certificateholders or the Seller, pursuant
to Section 3.10 or Section 9.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
purchases all the remaining Contracts of the Trust, the Notes are subject to
redemption, on the Distribution Date on which such repurchase occurs, for a
purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the Issuer
has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. The Seller, the
Master Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Insurer, the Swap Counterparty
and each Rating Agency notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be
redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.01(a), the Master Servicer or the Issuer
shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than 20 days
prior to the Redemption Date and the Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds
from the purchase of the corpus of the trust received from the Seller or the
Certificateholders, as the case may be, into the Collection Account, whereupon
the Trustee, at the direction of the Master Servicer, shall deposit the
Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed, whereupon all such Notes shall be
due and payable in accordance with Section 9.01(e) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with
Section 10.02 to each Holder of the Notes.

        (b)     In the event that the assets of the Issuer are sold pursuant to
Section 5.02(b) of this Indenture, the proceeds of such sale shall be
distributed as provided in Section 5.06. If amounts are to be paid to
Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Issuer
shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Trustee
not later than 20 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts
shall be payable on the Redemption Date.

        Section 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice.

        (a)     Notice of redemption under Section 10.01(a) shall be given by
the Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such
Holder's address appearing in the Note Register. In addition, the Administrator
shall notify the Rating Agencies upon the redemption of any Class of Notes,
pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) of the Administration Agreement.

        All notices of redemption shall state:

                (i)     the Redemption Date;

                (ii)    the Redemption Price;

                (iii)   the Repurchase Premium, if any;



                                       62
<PAGE>

                (iv)    the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for
        payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of
        the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and

                (v)     that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will
        become due and payable upon each Note and that interest thereon shall
        cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date.

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

        (b)     Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.01(b) is not
required to be given to Noteholders.

        Section 10.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption (if any) as
required by Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the
Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any
period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

        (b)     (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any
property subject to the lien created by this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in
addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this
Indenture, furnish to the Trustee and the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) an Officer's Certificate certifying or
stating the opinion of the signer thereof such certificate as to the fair value
(within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other
property or securities to be so deposited.

                (ii)    Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
        Trustee and the Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating
        the opinion of any signer thereof as to the




                                       64
<PAGE>

        matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to
        the Trustee and the Insurer an Independent Certificate as to the same
        matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the property to be so
        deposited and of all other such property made the basis of any such
        withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal
        year of the Issuer, as set forth in the Officer's Certificates delivered
        pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the
        Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such Officer's Certificate need not
        be furnished with respect to any property so deposited, if the fair
        value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's
        Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the
        Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

                (iii)   Other than with respect to any release described in
        clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), whenever any property or
        securities are to be released from the lien created by this Indenture,
        the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee and the Insurer (so long as
        no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) an Officer's
        Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing
        such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release)
        of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that
        in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
        security created by this Indenture in contravention of the provisions
        hereof.

                (iv)    Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
        Trustee and the Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating
        the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause
        (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee and the
        Insurer an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair
        value of the property or securities and of all other property (other
        than property described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v)) or
        securities released from the lien created by this Indenture since the
        commencement of the then current fiscal year, as set forth in the
        Officer's Certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause
        (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but
        such Officer's Certificate need not be furnished in the case of any
        release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth
        in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than
        one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

        Notwithstanding Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Section, the
Issuer may, without compliance with the other provisions of this Section, (A)
collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the Contracts as and to the
extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments
out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the
Basic Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee every six
months, commencing April 15, 2002, an Officer's Certificate stating that all the
dispositions of Collateral described in clauses (A) or (B) that occurred during
the preceding six calendar months were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's
business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic
Documents.

        Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where
several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of,
any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by,
or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified
or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to



                                       65
<PAGE>

other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such
matters in one or several documents.

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

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

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

        Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.

        (a)     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer and after prior written notice is given to the Swap Counterparty of
material requests, demands, authorizations, directions, notices, consents,
waivers or other actions. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.

        (b)     The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems
sufficient.



                                       66
<PAGE>

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

        (d)     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the

(In each case in which notice or other communication to the Insurer refers to an
Event of Default, a claim on the Note Policy or with respect to which failure on
the part of the Insurer to respond shall be deemed to constitute consent or
acceptance, then a copy of such notice or other communication should also be
sent to the attention of the General Counsel and the Head--Financial Guaranty
Group "URGENT MATERIAL ENCLOSED.")

        (b)     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the
Issuer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally

service, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at Moody's Investors Service, Inc., ABS

of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice
to the other parties.

        Section 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

<PAGE>

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

        Section 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is
different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or
notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement
and the Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in
accordance with such agreements.

        Section 11.07. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

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

        Section 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

        Section 11.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

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

        Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Each of the Insurer and the Swap
Counterparty and its successors and assigns shall be a third-party beneficiary
to the provisions of this Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and
directly to enforce such provisions of this Indenture so long as no Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture. The Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and
powers under this Indenture, but not its duties and obligations under the Note
Policy, upon delivery of a written notice to the Trustee.

        Section 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding


                                       69
<PAGE>

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

        Section 11.13. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS,
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, EXCEPT THAT THE DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

        Section 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

        Section 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee and the Insurer) to the effect that such recording is necessary
either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured
hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee
under this Indenture.

        Section 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other
writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Trustee
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficiary
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee
have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such
partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For
all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of
the Trust Agreement.

        Section 11.17. No Petition. The parties hereto, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in
a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute
against either Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution against either
Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating
to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.

        Section 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Trustee or of the Insurer,
during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account,
records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the
Issuer's officers, employees and independent certified public accountants, all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested, the
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all
reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to
the extent that the Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is
consistent with its obligations hereunder.

        Section 11.19. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been
countersigned by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association not in its
individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer
and in no event shall Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in its
individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability for
the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of
the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the
assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of
any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of
Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.

        Section 11.20. Limitation on Recourse Against WFSRC. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFSRC
under the Basic Documents are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC, and
shall be payable by WFSRC, solely as provided the Basic Documents. WFSRC shall
only be required to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities
that it may incur under the Basic Documents from funds available pursuant to,
and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in this Agreement and
(ii) to the extent WFSRC has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC incurred in
accordance with WFSRC's certificate of incorporation and all financing documents
to which WFSRC is a party. The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence
shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no amount owing by WFSRC hereunder in excess of
the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code) against it.

future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation

thereunder of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.

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

Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon

                          [REVERSE OF CLASS A-4B NOTE]

        This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its LIBOR Rate plus 0.17% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-4B
(the "Class A-4B Notes"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of March 1,
2002 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee
(the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms
used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

        The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3A Notes, the
Class A-3B Notes, the Class A-4A Notes and the Class A-4B Notes (collectively,
the "Notes") are and, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture and the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

        Principal payable on the Class A-4B Notes will be paid on each
Distribution Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Class A-4 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A-4B Notes shall be due and payable
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, as described in
the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-4B Notes shall be made pro
rata to the Class A-4B Noteholders entitled thereto.

        Payments of principal and interest on this Note due and payable on each
Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person
whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the
related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by
any payments made on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be binding
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this
Note on a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, then the Trustee, in the name of
and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the registered
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date by notice mailed within 20 days of such Distribution Date or
Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or at the office of the Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes
located in The City of New York.
