                                    THE NOTES

            SECTION 2.01. Form Generally.

            The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the certificates of
authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth, respectively, in
Exhibits A and B attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification
and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may, consistently herewith,
be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their
execution of the Notes.

            The definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on steel engraved
borders or may be produced in any manner acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and
the initial purchaser of the Notes, all as determined by the officers executing
such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

            SECTION 2.02. Denomination.

            The aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes which may be
authenticated and delivered hereunder is $34,281,119.44, and the aggregate
principal amount of Class B Notes which may be authenticated and delivered
hereunder is $2,016,536.44, except for Notes of such Class authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer or in exchange for or in lieu of, other
Notes of such Class pursuant to Sections 2.04, 2.05 or 2.07 hereof. The Notes
shall be issuable only as registered Notes without coupons in denominations of
at least $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except in
the single case of one Note of each Class); provided, however, that, the
foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the transfer in accordance with Sections
2.05 and 2.06 hereof of any Class A Note with a remaining principal balance of
less than $250,000.

            SECTION 2.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

            The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its President
or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of these officers on the Notes must
be manual.

            Notes bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were at any
time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to
the authentication or delivery of such Notes or did not hold offices at the date
of authentication or delivery of such Notes.


                                       23
<PAGE>

            Each Note shall bear on its face the applicable delivery date and be
dated as of the date of its authentication.

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

            SECTION 2.04. Temporary Notes.

            Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute,
and upon Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any denomination, containing the same terms and
representing the same rights as the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued.

            If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive
Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes
upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to
be maintained as provided in Section 3.02(f) hereof, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the
Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes of any authorized denominations
and of a like initial aggregate principal amount, Class and Stated Maturity
Date. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

            SECTION 2.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

            (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be
maintained by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3.02(f) hereof a register
(the "Note Register"), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the
registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed
"Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided. The Indenture Trustee and MBIA shall have the right to examine
the Note Register at all reasonable times and to rely conclusively upon a
certificate of the Note Registrar as to the names and addresses of the Holders
of the Notes and the principal amounts and numbers of such Notes as held.

            (b) 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(s)
hereof and subject to


                                       24
<PAGE>

the conditions set forth in Section 2.06 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and
the Indenture Trustee or by any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes of any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal
amount, Class and Stated Maturity Date.

            (c) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other
Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount,
Class and Stated Maturity Date, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee or by any Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

            (d) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes pursuant to this Indenture 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 such transfer or
exchange pursuant to this Indenture.

            Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

            No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer 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 2.04 or 9.05 hereof not involving any registration
of transfer.

            Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the
obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes is
not a general obligation of the Issuer, but is limited solely to the Trust
Estate pledged hereunder and, with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class A
Note Insurance Policy subject to the terms thereof.

            SECTION 2.06. Limitation on Transfer and Exchange.

            (a) Each prospective initial Noteholder acquiring a Note, each
prospective transferee acquiring a Note and each prospective owner of a
beneficial interest in a Note acquiring such beneficial interest (any
prospective initial Noteholder, prospective transferee or prospective owner of a
beneficial interest, a "Prospective Holder") shall either (i) represent and
warrant in a written certification addressed to the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer and MBIA that it is not (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described
in Section 4975(e)(i) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets
include plan assets by


                                       25
<PAGE>

reason of a plan's investments in the entity, or (ii) provide a representation
and warranty in a written certification addressed to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA
and the Issuer that such acquisition and holding by the Prospective Holder is
subject to a Department of Labor class exemption, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply with respect to the initial sale of the Notes.

            (b) The Notes have not been registered or qualified under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or the securities laws of any state. No
transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is made in a transaction
which does not require registration under the 1933 Act and pursuant to an
effective registration or qualification under any state securities or "blue sky"
laws, or in a transaction which does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer, other than the initial sale of the
Notes, is to be made without registration or qualification, such Holder's
prospective transferee shall either (i) deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
investment letter substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit E hereto, or
other applicable document (the "Investment Letter") or (ii) deliver to the
Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that the transfer is exempt from the
1933 Act. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law. Any such Holder desiring to effect a transfer other than in
accordance with the foregoing procedures shall be liable to the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer, MBIA and the Issuer against any liability, cost or
expense (including attorneys' fees) that may result if the transfer is not in
accordance with the foregoing procedures. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer
nor the Indenture Trustee nor MBIA shall have any liability to any Holder
arising from a transfer of any Note in reliance upon a certification described
in this Section 2.06(b). The Indenture Trustee shall promptly, after receipt of
such information as is set forth in the next succeeding sentence, furnish to any
Holder, or any Prospective Holder designated by a Holder, the information
required to be delivered to Holders and Prospective Holders of Notes in
connection with resales of the Notes to permit compliance with said Rule 144A in
connection with such resales. Such information shall be provided to the
Indenture Trustee by the Servicer. No Note may be subdivided (including any
assignment or transfer of a participation or beneficial interest therein) for
resale or other transfer into a unit smaller than a unit the initial offering
price of which would have been $250,000.

            SECTION 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

            If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or
the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and MBIA such security or indemnity (provided that an agreement of indemnity
shall suffice from the initial Noteholders who maintain a claims paying ability
of investment grade or better as determined by a nationally recognized rating
organization) as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and MBIA to save the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and MBIA or any director, officer, employee or
agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice


                                       26
<PAGE>

to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon its request, the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor, initial
principal balance, Class and Stated Maturity Date, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. If after the delivery of such new Note, a bona
fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such new Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, MBIA, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the person to whom it
was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to
the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by MBIA, the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee or any agent of any of them in connection therewith. If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have become or shall be
about to become due and payable, or shall have become subject to redemption in
full, instead of issuing a new Note, the Issuer may pay such Note without
surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered.

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

            Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07, in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits hereof 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 2.08. Payment of Principal and Interest; Principal and
Interest Rights Preserved.

            (a) With respect to each Payment Date, interest on the Notes shall
accrue from the prior Payment Date (or from the Closing Date in the case of the
first Payment Date) to and including the day preceding such Payment Date on the
Class A Note Balance or the Class B Note Balance, as applicable, as of the close
of business on the day preceding such Payment Date at the related Note Interest
Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30
days each) for such Notes, until the last day preceding the Final Payment Date
and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest from the date such interest
became due and payable (giving effect to any applicable grace periods provided
herein)


                                       27
<PAGE>

until fully paid. Interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment
Date, with each payment of interest calculated as described above on the
Outstanding Aggregate Note Balance of the Notes immediately following the
preceding Payment Date or on the Closing Date, if there has not been any
preceding Payment Date; provided, that the payment of interest on the Class B
Notes is subordinate to the payment of interest on the Class A Notes and to
certain other payments in accordance with Section 12.02(d). In making any such
interest payment, if the interest calculation with respect to a Note shall
result in a portion of such payment being less than $.01, then such payment
shall be decreased to the nearest whole cent, and no subsequent adjustment shall
be made in respect thereof.

            (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments
ending no later than the applicable Stated Maturity Date thereof unless such
Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by call for redemption or
otherwise. All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments
of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all
future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such
payment is noted on such Note. Each installment of principal payable on the
Class A Notes shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Class A
Principal Payment Amount, if any, and (ii) the Additional Class A Principal
Distribution Amount, if any, available to be paid in accordance with the
priorities of Sections 12.02(d) hereof. Each installment of principal payable on
the Class B Notes shall be in an amount equal to the Class B Principal Payment
Amount; provided, that the payment of the Class B Principal Payment Amount shall
be subordinate to the payments of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes
and to certain other payments in accordance with Section 12.02(d) hereof. The
principal payable on the Notes of any Class shall be paid on each Payment Date
beginning on the applicable Initial Payment Date and ending on the applicable
Final Payment Date, and with respect to all of the Notes of any Class, on a pro
rata basis based upon the ratio that the Outstanding Note Balance of a Note
bears to the Outstanding Note Balance of all Notes of such Class; provided,
however, that if as a result of such proration a portion of such principal would
be less than $.01, then such payment shall be increased to the nearest whole
cent, and such portion shall be deducted from the next succeeding principal
payment.

            (c) The principal of and interest on the Notes are payable by check
mailed by first-class mail to the Person whose name appears as the Registered
Holder of such Note on the Note Register at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register or by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to the account specified in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Registered
Holder at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date
on which wire transfers will commence, in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts. Except as set forth in the final sentence of this
Section 2.08(c), all payments on the Notes shall be paid without any requirement
of presentment. The Issuer shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is
registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the
Payment Date on which the Issuer


                                       28
<PAGE>

expects that the final installment of principal of such Note will be paid that
the Issuer expects that such final installment will be paid on such Payment
Date. Such notice shall be mailed no later then the tenth day prior to such
Payment Date and shall specify the place where such Note may be surrendered.
Funds representing any such checks returned undeliverable shall be held in
accordance with Section 7.15 hereof. Each Noteholder shall surrender its Note to
the Indenture Trustee prior to payment of the final installment of principal of
such Note.

            (d) Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, agrees that the
Notes shall be limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from
the Trust Estate. Each Holder of a Note, by acceptance of such Notes, agrees
that during the term of this Indenture and for one year and one day after the
termination hereof, such Holder and any Affiliate thereof will not file any
involuntary petition or otherwise institute any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceeding under any
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law against the Issuer.

            SECTION 2.09. Persons Deemed Owner.

            Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note,
the Issuer, MBIA, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, MBIA or the
Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as
the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, MBIA, the Indenture Trustee nor any
agent of the Issuer, MBIA or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

            SECTION 2.10. Cancellation.

            All Notes surrendered to the Indenture Trustee for payment,
registration of transfer or exchange (including Notes surrendered to any Person
other than the Indenture Trustee which shall be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee) shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in
this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled
Notes held by the Indenture Trustee shall be disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee as is customary with its standard practice in effect from time to time.

            SECTION 2.11. Tax Treatment.

            The Issuer has structured this Indenture and the Notes with the
intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness
of the Issuer, and the Issuer and each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note,
agree to treat the Notes as debt for all purposes unless and until otherwise
required by an applicable taxing authority.

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the law of the Issuer
State of Incorporation and each other State where the nature of its business

            (b) Authorization. The Issuer has the power, authority and legal

Issuer in accordance with its terms except that (A) such enforcement may be
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws (whether statutory, regulatory or decisional) now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally and (B) the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought, whether a proceeding at law or in equity;

            (d) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the fulfillment of the terms of the Transaction Documents will not conflict
with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute
(with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under the
organizational documents or bylaws of the Issuer, or any material indenture,
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Issuer is a
party or by which it is bound, or in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
any of its properties pursuant to the terms of such indenture, agreement,


                                       30
<PAGE>

mortgage, deed of trust or other such instrument, other than any Lien created or
imposed pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, or violate any law
or any material order, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court
or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its
properties.

            (e) No proceedings. There are no proceedings, or investigations to
which the Issuer, or any of the Issuer's Affiliates, is a party pending, or, to

invalidity of the Transaction Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of
any of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Issuer of its obligations
under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Transaction Documents.

            (f) Approvals. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or
other actions of any Person, or of any court, governmental agency or body or
official, required in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents and with the valid and proper authorization, issuance and
sale of the Notes pursuant hereto (except approvals of State securities
officials under the Blue Sky Laws), have been or will be taken or obtained on or
prior to the Closing Date.

            (g) Place of Business. The Issuer's principal place of business and
chief executive office is located at 863 Glenrock Road, Norfolk, Virginia 23502.

            (h) Transfer and Assignment. Upon the delivery to the Custodian, as
agent of the Indenture Trustee, of the Loan Contracts, the related Certificates

            SECTION 3.02. Covenants.

            The Issuer hereby makes the following covenants for the benefit of
the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the Noteholders, on which the Indenture Trustee
relies in accepting the Trust Estate in trust and in authenticating the Notes
and MBIA relies in issuing the Class A Note Insurance Policy. Such covenants are
made as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the transfer, grant and
assignment of the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee:

            (a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances and grant of security
interests hereunder, the Issuer will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any
other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any
part of Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein
prior to the termination of this Indenture pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof; the
Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee and MBIA of the existence of any Lien
on any part of Trust Estate immediately upon discovery thereof; and the Issuer
shall defend the right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee in, to and
under the Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under the Issuer; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.02(a) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the
Issuer from suffering to exist upon any of the Trust Estate any Liens for
municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or
governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Issuer
shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto.

            (b) Delivery of Collections. The Issuer agrees to hold in trust and
promptly deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received by the Issuer
in respect of the Trust Estate (other than amounts distributed to or for the
benefit of the Issuer pursuant to Article Twelve hereof).

<PAGE>

            (c) Obligations with Respect to Loan Contracts. The Issuer will duly
fulfill all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with
each Loan Contract and will do nothing to impair the rights of the Indenture
Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA) in the Loan Contracts, the
Vehicles and any other part of the Trust Estate.

            (d) Compliance with Law. The Issuer will comply, in all material
respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of
any governmental authority applicable to the Loan Contracts or any part thereof;
provided, however, that the Issuer may contest any act, regulation, order,
decree or direction in any reasonable manner which shall not materially and
adversely affect the rights of the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the
Noteholders and MBIA) in the Loan Contracts and the Vehicles. The Issuer will
comply, in all material respects, with all requirements of law applicable to the
Issuer.

            (e) Preservation of Security Interest. The Issuer shall execute and
file such continuation statements and any other documents which may be required
by law to fully preserve and protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee (for
the benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA) in the Trust Estate. If a Re-Liening
Trigger occurs, the Issuer shall enforce its rights against the Company under
the Loan Sale Agreement to have the Vehicles retitled noting the security
interest of the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

            (f) Maintenance of Office, etc. The Issuer will not, without
providing 30 days' prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and MBIA and
without filing such amendments to any previously filed financing statements as
the Indenture Trustee or MBIA may require or as may be required in order to
maintain the Indenture Trustee's perfected security interest in the Trust
Estate, (a) change the location of its principal executive office, or (b) change
its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner which would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Issuer in accordance
with the Servicing Agreement or this Indenture seriously misleading within the
meaning of Article 9-402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC.

            (g) Further Assurances. The Issuer will make, execute or endorse,
acknowledge, and file or deliver to MBIA, the Rating Agencies and the Indenture
Trustee from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances,
transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other
assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Trust
Estate, as the Indenture Trustee or MBIA may reasonably request and reasonably
require.

            (h) Notice of Liens. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee
and MBIA promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any part of the Trust
Estate, except for any Liens for municipal or other local taxes if such taxes
shall not at the time be due or payable without penalty or if the Issuer shall
currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto.

the restrictions on its activities as set forth in its certificate of
incorporation and shall not amend such certificate of incorporation unless (x)
the Issuer shall cause, prior to the taking of such action, an Opinion of
Counsel experienced in federal bankruptcy matters, in substance satisfactory to
MBIA and the Rating Agencies, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and
the Rating Agencies and (y) the Rating Agencies shall indicate in writing that

the Holders of the Notes.

            (k) Tax Treatment. Unless and to the extent otherwise required by an
applicable taxing authority, the Issuer will treat the Notes as debt of the

      of the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the Noteholders;

            (v) the surviving corporation shall be a "special purpose
      corporation" having an organizational charter substantially similar to the

surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or the Person
to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under

Corporate Trust Office as the office for each of said purposes. The Issuer will
give 30 days' prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the
Noteholders of any change in the identity of the Paying Agent or 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 Indenture Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be

equal to 10% of the aggregate Loan Balance as of the Cut-Off Date of all Loan
Contracts acquired from such Dealer.

            SECTION 6.04. Limitation on 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

            (a) an MBIA Default has occurred and is continuing,

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

            (c) the Controlling Holders shall have made written request to the

in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

            (d) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee
reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

            (e) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any
such proceedings; and

            (f) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60 day period by the Controlling
Holders; it being 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 and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Holders of Notes.

            SECTION 6.05. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive
Principal and Interest.

            Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal and interest on such Note as such principal and
interest becomes due and payable and to institute any proceeding for the
enforcement of any such payment against the Issuer on or after one year and one
day after the Stated Maturity Date, and such right shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

            SECTION 6.06. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

            If the Indenture Trustee, MBIA or any Noteholder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such

determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA or to such Noteholder, then,
and in every case, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the Noteholders
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the Noteholders shall continue
as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

            SECTION 6.07. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

            Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of
Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Indenture Trustee, MBIA or 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 6.08. Control by MBIA or Noteholders.

            MBIA or, if an MBIA Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Controlling Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that,
in the case of direction by the Noteholders:

            (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture, including, without limitation, any provision hereof which
expressly provides fair approval by a greater percentage of Outstanding
Principal Amount of all the Notes;

            (b) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; provided,
however, that, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not
take any action which a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Indenture Trustee
in good faith determines might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the Controlling Holders; and


                                       48
<PAGE>

            (c) the Indenture Trustee has been furnished reasonable indemnity
satisfactory to it against costs, expenses and liabilities which it might incur
in connection therewith as provided in Section 7.01(f) hereof.

            SECTION 6.09. Waiver of Certain Events by Less than All.

            MBIA or, if an MBIA Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Controlling Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past
Event of Default, Re-Liening Trigger or Reserve Account Increase Event hereunder
and its consequences, except:

            (a) the occurrence of the Event of Default described in 6.01(a)
hereof, or

            (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
Nine hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default, Re-Liening Trigger, Event of Default or
Reserve Account Increase Event shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default,
Re-Liening Trigger or Reserve Account Increase Event or other consequence
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default, Re-Liening Trigger, Event of Default or Reserve Account Increase Event
or impair any right consequent thereon.

            SECTION 6.10. Undertaking for Costs.

            All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
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 6.10 shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Indenture Trustee or MBIA, or to any suit instituted by the Controlling
Holders, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after one year and one
day after the Stated Maturity Date expressed in such Note.

            SECTION 6.11. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.


                                       49
<PAGE>

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

            SECTION 6.12. Action on Notes.

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

            SECTION 6.13. Delay or Omission; Not Waiver.

            No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, MBIA or of any Holder
of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article Six or by law to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA or to the Noteholders may
be exercised from time to time, and as soon as may be deemed expedient, by the
Indenture Trustee, MBIA or by the Noteholders, as the case may be, subject in
each case, however, to the right of MBIA to control any such right and remedy
except as provided in Section 13.13 hereof.

the Indenture Trustee as provided in subsection (e) below:

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

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

            (b) In case an Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee, as
provided in subsection (e) below, has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
reasonable person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs.

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

            (i) this subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect
      of subsection (a) of this Section;

            (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
      judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture

      negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

            (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
      action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
      the direction of

                                       51
<PAGE>

      MBIA or the Controlling Holders relating to the time, method and place of
      conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
      Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture
      Trustee, under this Indenture, the Loan Sale Agreement or the Servicing
      Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Loan Sale
      Agreement and the Servicing Agreement; and

            (iv) no provision hereof shall require the Indenture Trustee to
      expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any 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 for believing
      that repayment of such funds or reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it
      against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, provided
      that nothing contained herein shall excuse the Indenture Trustee for
      failure to perform its duties as Indenture Trustee hereunder.

            (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of this Article VII.

            (e) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default, Default, Reserve
Account Increase Event, MBIA Default or Re-Liening Trigger unless a Responsible
Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual
knowledge thereof, or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such
an Event of Default, Default, Reserve Account Increase Event, Re-liening Trigger
or MBIA Default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office, and such notice references any of the Notes generally, the Issuer, the
Trust Estate or this Indenture.

            (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute
any suit, or to take any remedial proceeding under this Indenture, or to enter
any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made
defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of the trusts hereby created or
in the enforcement of any rights and powers hereunder until it shall be
indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all costs and expenses, outlays
and counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements and against all liability,
except liability that is adjudicated, in connection with any action so taken.

            (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
provisions of subsections (e) through (h), inclusive, of this Section 7.01 shall
be subject to the provisions of subsections (a) through (c), inclusive, of this
Section 7.01.

            (h) The Indenture Trustee shall provide the reports and accountings
as required pursuant to Section 12.03 hereof.

            (i) If any Loan Contract becomes a Defaulted Loan Contract, the
Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement,
cooperate with the Issuer or Servicer, or at the request of MBIA, to take such
action as may be necessary to assist the Issuer or Servicer in enforcing such
payment or performance, including cooperation and/or assistance in the
institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Any such action shall be
without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article Six hereof.

            SECTION 7.02. Notice of Default and Reserve Account Increase Events.

            Promptly after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Default,

            (a) The recitals contained in this Indenture and in the Notes,

            SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement.

            (a) The Issuer agrees:

            (i) to pay the Indenture Trustee its fee for all services rendered
      by it hereunder as Indenture Trustee, in the amount of the Trustee Fee
      (which compensation shall not otherwise be limited by any provision of law
      in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and to
      pay to the Back-up Servicer its fee for all services rendered hereunder
      and under the Servicing Agreement as Back-up Servicer, in the amount of

      request for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, disbursements
      and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee or the Back-up
      Servicer in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or the
      Servicing Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
      expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee's and Back-up
      Servicer's agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or
      advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct;
      and

            (iii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Estate and the
      Indenture Trustee and the Back-Up Servicer and their respective directors,
      officers and employees from and against any loss, liability, expense,
      damage or injury (other than those attributable to a Noteholder in its
      capacity as an investor in any of the Notes) sustained or suffered
      pursuant to this Indenture in connection with the transactions
      contemplated hereby or by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or
      omissions arising out of activities of the Indenture Trustee (including,
      without limitation, any violation of any applicable laws by the Issuer as
      a result of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture), including,
      but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys'
      fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any
      actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, that the
      Issuer shall not indemnify the Indenture Trustee if such loss, liability,
      expense, damage or injury is due to the Indenture Trustee's gross
      negligence or willful misconduct, willful misfeasance or bad faith in the
      performance of duties. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section shall
      only be payable from the assets of the Issuer and shall not be payable
      from the assets of the Trust Estate. The provisions of this indemnity
      shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured person subject to
      the limitations hereof including Section 13.14 and this indemnification
      agreement shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the earlier
      resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Back-Up Servicer,
      as the case may be.

            SECTION 7.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

            There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000, acceptable to MBIA, subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or state authority and having an office within the United States of
America, and which shall have a commercial paper or other short-term rating of
the highest short-term rating categories by each of the Rating Agencies, or
otherwise acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Indenture Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

            SECTION 7.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

            (a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee acceptable to MBIA under Section 7.10 hereof.

            (b) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days'
written notice thereof to the Issuer, MBIA and to each Noteholder. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
may prescribe, appoint a successor Indenture Trustee in compliance with Section
7.08 hereof.

            (c) The Indenture Trustee may be removed by MBIA or, if an MBIA
Default has occurred and is continuing, by the Controlling Holders, at any time
if one of the following events have occurred:

            (i) the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section
      7.08 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
      Issuer, MBIA or by any Noteholder, or


                                       57
<PAGE>

            (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall
      be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture
      Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
      take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or
      affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or

            (iii) the Indenture Trustee has failed to perform its duties
      hereunder or has breached any representation or warranty made herein.

            (d) If the Indenture Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture
Trustee for any cause with respect to any of the Notes, the Issuer by a Board
Resolution shall with the prior consent of MBIA promptly appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee reasonably satisfactory to MBIA. If no successor Indenture
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer within 30 days of notice of
removal or resignation and shall have accepted appointment in the manner
hereinafter provided, then MBIA may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. If
MBIA shall fail to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee within 90 days or an
MBIA Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then the Controlling Holders
or the Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes.

            (e) The Issuer shall give notice in the manner provided in Sections
13.02 and 13.03 hereof of each resignation and each removal of the Indenture
Trustee and each appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to
the Notes to the Noteholders, MBIA and the Rating Agencies. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office.

            SECTION 7.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

            Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture
Trustee but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee, such
retiring Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring
Indenture Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Indenture Trustee
hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer
shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts.


                                       58
<PAGE>

            No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept its appointment unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be
eligible under this Article. No Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be liable for
the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee hereunder.

            SECTION 7.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business of Indenture Trustee.

            Any Person into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, and notice thereof
shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders, MBIA and the
Rating Agencies. In case any Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Indenture Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

            SECTION 7.12. Co-Indenture Trustees and Separate Indenture Trustees.

            At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Trust Estate may at the
time be located, the Issuer, MBIA and the Indenture Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, MBIA or of the
Holders representing at least 25% in Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes,
the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Indenture Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee and
meeting the requirements of Section 7.08 hereof, either to act as co-Indenture
Trustee, jointly with the Indenture Trustee of all or any part of such Trust
Estate, or to act as separate Indenture Trustee of any such property, in either
case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and
to vest in such Person or persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property,
title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other
provisions of this Section. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee alone
shall have power to make such appointment. Any co-Indenture Trustee or separate
Indenture Trustee shall be acceptable to MBIA.


                                       59
<PAGE>

            Should any written instrument from the Issuer be reasonably required
by any co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee so appointed for more
fully confirming to such co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee such
property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request,
be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.

            Every co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee shall, to
the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to
the following terms:

            (i) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered by, and all
      rights, powers, duties and obligations under this Indenture in respect of
      the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or
      required to be deposited or pledged with, the Indenture Trustee under this
      Indenture, shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee;

            (ii) the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
      upon the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture in respect of any property
      covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and
      exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Indenture
      Trustee and such co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee
      jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such
      co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee, except to the extent
      that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to
      be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
      perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
      obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-Indenture Trustee
      or separate Indenture Trustee;

            (iii) the Indenture Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
      executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by a Board
      Resolution, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-Indenture
      Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee, appointed under this Section, and,
      in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture
      Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
      co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee without the concurrence
      of the Issuer. Upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, the
      Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery
      and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
      effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-Indenture
      Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee that has so resigned or been removed
      may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 7.12;

             (iv) no co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee
      hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
      the Indenture Trustee or any other such Indenture Trustee hereunder nor
      shall the Indenture Trustee be liable by reason of any act or omission of
      any co-Indenture Trustee or separate


                                       60
<PAGE>

      Indenture Trustee selected by the Indenture Trustee with due care or
      appointed in accordance with directions to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
      to Section 6.08 hereof; and

            (v) any Act of Noteholders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall
      be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-Indenture Trustee and
      separate Indenture Trustee.

            SECTION 7.13. Rights with Respect to the Servicer.

            The Indenture Trustee's rights and obligations with respect to the
Servicer and the Back-up Servicer shall be governed by the Servicing Agreement.

            SECTION 7.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

            The Indenture Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents
with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue or upon
exchange, registration of transfer or pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof, and Notes
so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall
be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made herein to the authentication and
delivery of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee's
certificate of authentication or the delivery of Notes to the Indenture Trustee
for authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and delivery of the Notes to the Authenticating Agent on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable
to the Issuer, MBIA and the Noteholders and shall at all times be a corporation
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than the equivalent of
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority or the equivalent foreign authority, in the case of an Authenticating
Agent who is not organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

            Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any


                                       61
<PAGE>

merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be
a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate
trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such Authenticating Agent; provided,
such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section.

            An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and to the Issuer. The Indenture
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, MBIA and to the
Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination,
or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer
and MBIA and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders of Notes, if any, with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names end addresses appear in the Note
Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

            The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent
from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section,
and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof.

            If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Indenture Trustee's certificate of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following
form:

            This is one of the Notes described in the within-mentioned
Indenture.

            The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, and if there is any
Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will cause each Paying

Trustee, the Rating Agencies and MBIA an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Indenture Trustee that, subject to the provisions of this
Section, such Paying Agent will:

            (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal or
      interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders entitled
      thereto and MBIA until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
      otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

            (ii) give the Indenture Trustee, MBIA, the Rating Agencies and the
      Noteholders notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon
      the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal or interest; and

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

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

            Any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent
in trust for the payment of the principal or interest on any Note and remaining
unclaimed for three years after such principal or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Issuer upon written request or to MBIA (upon its
written request) if such money represents payments made by MBIA; and the Holder
of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, and subject to
any applicable statute of limitations, look only to the Issuer for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent or MBIA
with respect to such trust money or the related Note, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Indenture 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 in which
the Corporate Trust Office is located, notice


                                       63

that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall be not less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer or
MBIA, as applicable; and provided, further, that any amounts held that are
proceeds of a claim made under the Class A Note Insurance Policy shall be
returned to MBIA, and the Noteholders shall look only to MBIA for such payments.
The Indenture 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 Noteholders whose right to or
interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of any Paying Agent, at the last address as shown on the Note Register
for each such Noteholder).

                        THE CLASS A NOTE INSURANCE POLICY

            SECTION 8.01. Payments under the Class A Note Insurance Policy.

            If, on the close of business on the third Business Day immediately
prior to any Payment Date with respect to the Class A Notes, the sum of amounts
on deposit in (i) the Collection Account and (ii) the Reserve Account are not
sufficient to pay the Class A Interest Payment Amount on such Payment Date in
accordance with Section 12.02(d)(v) hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall, no
later than 10:00 a.m. New York time, on the second Business Day immediately
preceding such Payment Date make a claim under the Class A Note Insurance Policy
in an amount equal to such insufficiency. In addition, if on the close of
business on the third Business Day immediately prior to any Payment Date for the
Class A Notes, the sum of amounts on deposit in (i) the Collection Account and
(ii) the Reserve Account are not sufficient to pay the Class A Principal Payment
Amount in accordance with Section 12.02(d)(viii) hereof, the Indenture Trustee
shall, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York time, on the second Business Day
immediately preceding such Payment Date, make a claim under the Class A Note
Insurance Policy in an amount equal to such insufficiency. Proceeds of claims on
the Class A Note Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
shall remain uninvested and shall be used solely to pay amounts due in respect
of interest and principal on the Class A Notes on each Payment Date.

            In addition, on any day that the Indenture Trustee has actual
knowledge or receives written notice that any amount previously paid to a Class
A Noteholder has been subsequently recovered from such Noteholder pursuant to a
final order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment constitutes
an avoidable preference within the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy law to
such Noteholder (a "Preference Amount"), the Indenture Trustee shall make a
claim within one Business Day upon the Class A Note Insurance Policy for the
full amount of such Preference Amount in accordance with the terms of the Class
A Note Insurance Policy. Any proceeds of any such Preference Amount received by
the Indenture Trustee shall be paid to the related Class A Noteholders.

            (b) The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the
execution of any amendment pursuant to clause (a) above and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such amendment that
affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities, indemnities or
immunities hereunder. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under

                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

            SECTION 10.01. Redemption at the Option of the Servicer; Election to
Redeem.

            The Servicer shall have the option to redeem all of the Outstanding
Notes of any Class at any time the Outstanding Class A Note Balance or
Outstanding Class B Note Balance of the Notes of such Class is less than 10% of
the Initial Class A Note Balance or Initial Class B Note Balance, in each case
at the applicable Redemption Price plus any fees due hereunder and all amounts
due to MBIA under the Insurance Agreement; provided, however, that the Class B
Notes may not be redeemed before the Class A Notes. MBIA shall have the same
option to redeem any Class A Notes in the absence of the exercise thereof by the
Servicer.

            The Servicer or MBIA, as applicable, shall set the Redemption Date
and the Redemption Record Date for the Notes and give written notice thereof to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof.

            Installments of interest and principal that are due regarding the

the Holders of such Notes called for redemption as of the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof. The election
of the Servicer or MBIA to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or written notice from MBIA, respectively,

all of the Notes to be redeemed from monies deposited with the Indenture Trustee

be redeemed on such Redemption Date plus any fees and interest due under Section
12.02(d)(i) through (vi) (and, with respect to the Class B Notes, (vii)) and all

            SECTION 10.03. Notice of Redemption by the Indenture Trustee.

            Upon receipt of such notice and such deposit set forth in Section
10.02 above, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice of redemption pursuant
to Section 10.01 hereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed no later

specified in the Note Register.

      All notices of redemption shall state:

      (1) the applicable Redemption Date;

      (2) the applicable Redemption Price; and

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

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

            SECTION 10.04. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

            Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 10.03
hereof, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the applicable Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price and on such Redemption Date
(unless the Issuer or MBIA, as applicable, shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. On the applicable
Redemption Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw the applicable Redemption
Price from the Redemption Account and the Holders of such Notes shall be paid
the Redemption Price by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Servicer; provided,
however, that installments of principal and interest that are due regarding such
Notes on or prior to such Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of
such Notes registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof.

            If the Holders of any Note called for redemption shall not be so
paid, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the applicable
Redemption Date at the related Note Interest Rate.

                                  THE CUSTODIAN

            SECTION 11.01. Acceptance by Indenture Trustee and Appointment of
the Custodian.

            (a) The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges the conveyance of the
Loan Assets and declares that the Indenture Trustee, through the Custodian
and/or through one or more other custodians acceptable to MBIA, which other
custodians may, with MBIA's prior written consent, include the Servicer (the
Custodian and each such other custodian a "Pledged Asset Custodian"), will hold
such Loan Assets conveyed by the Issuer, for the use and benefit of the
Noteholders and MBIA subject to the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that
in respect of the items described in clauses (i) and (v) of the definition of
"Loan Contract Files" (such items, the "Custodial File"), the Custodian shall be
the custodian. The Custodian may, upon receipt of a Request for Release of
Documents from the Servicer, release any Custodial File to the Servicer, for the
limited purpose, if necessary, of temporarily assisting the Servicer to conduct
collection and other servicing activities; provided, however, that prior to
being released to the Servicer all documents to be released in such Custodial
File shall be conspicuously stamped to reflect the sale to the Issuer and the
security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the related Loan Assets; provided,
further, that if either an Event of Default or Re-Liening Trigger shall have
occurred and be continuing, no part of any Custodial File shall be released by
the Custodian to the Servicer without MBIA's prior written consent, which shall
be evidenced by MBIA's execution of the Request for Release of Documents. Except
as noted above, no part of the Custodial File shall be delivered by the
Custodian to the Company or the Servicer or otherwise released from the
possession of the Custodian. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any Pledged Asset
Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
any document, instrument, certificate, agreement or other papers to determine
that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

            The Indenture Trustee shall not appoint a Pledged Asset Custodian
other than itself, the Custodian or the Servicer in respect of any Loan Contract
File or Loan Asset unless such Person shall be acceptable to MBIA and shall have
entered into an agreement with the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders and MBIA, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, and the Servicer,
containing provisions substantially similar to Sections 11.01(b)-(e) inclusive.

            (b) The Custodian shall hold and hereby acknowledges that it is
holding the Custodial File documents (except for those noted on an exception
report given to the Indenture Trustee on the Closing Date) as the agent of the
Indenture Trustee for the use and benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA with
respect thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any responsibility, duty,
obligation or liability with respect to any Pledged


                                       72
<PAGE>

Asset Custodian acting as a custodian hereunder or with respect to any document,
agreement, certificate or instrument held or purported to be held by any Pledged
Asset Custodian. Neither the Custodian nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any
responsibility or liability with respect to any Loan Asset or Loan Contract
Files not conveyed by the Issuer hereunder.

            (c) The Custodian shall perform its duties as a Pledged Asset
Custodian in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Servicing
Agreement and applicable law and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in
the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence
with which, it administers files for other portfolios, if any, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
custodians. The Custodian shall promptly report to the Indenture Trustee and to
MBIA, any failure by it to hold the complete set of Custodial Files as herein
provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

            The Custodian as a Pledged Asset Custodian, shall have and perform
the following powers and duties:

            (i) hold the Custodial Files on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for
      the benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA, maintain accurate records
      pertaining to each Loan Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and
      conditions of this Indenture, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

            (ii) implement policies and procedures in accordance with the
      Custodian's normal business practices with respect to the handling and
      custody of the Custodial Files so that the integrity and physical
      possession of the Custodial Files will be maintained; and

            (iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody
      of the Custodial Files on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
      Noteholders and MBIA.

            (d) In acting as a Pledged Asset Custodian, the Custodian agrees
further that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership
interest in the Loan Contracts or the Custodial Files or any other Loan Asset.
The Custodian shall ensure that each original or copy of a contractual document
with an Obligor, and its master data processing records evidencing each Loan
Contract that has been released to the Servicer has been marked with a legend,
evidencing that each Loan Contract has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA, together with all right and title
thereto and interest therein as provided herein.

            (e) The Custodian agrees to maintain any Custodial Files in its
possession at its office located in Richmond, Virginia, or at such other offices
as shall from time to time be identified by prior written notice to the
Indenture Trustee.

            SECTION 11.02. Obligations of the Custodian.

            (a) With respect to the documents constituting each Custodial File
which is delivered to the Custodian or which come into the possession of the
Custodian, the Custodian is the custodian for the Indenture Trustee exclusively.
The Custodian shall hold all documents received by it constituting the Custodial
Files for the exclusive use and benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders and MBIA, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance
with this Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or the instructions furnished by
the Indenture Trustee provided such instructions are consistent with this
Indenture and the Servicing Agreement unless otherwise directed in writing by
MBIA. The Custodian shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of all
documents constituting the Loan Contract Files in secure and fireproof
facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody. The
Custodian makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible to verify
(i) the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due authorization,
recordability or genuineness of any document in the Loan Contract Files or of
any of the Loan Contracts or (ii) the collectability, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any Loan Contract.

            (b) Upon the payment in full of any Loan Contract or redemption of
the Notes by the Issuer or MBIA, which shall be evidenced by the delivery to the
Custodian of the Request for Release of Documents, the Custodian shall promptly
release the related Custodial File to the Servicer or MBIA unless otherwise
instructed by such party.

            SECTION 11.03. Certification.

            (a) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall
ascertain that all documents referred to in Schedule 1 hereto with respect to
Loan Contracts are in its possession, and shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
and MBIA a certification in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that, as to each
Custodial File listed in the Loan Schedule (other than any Loan Contract paid in
full or any Loan Contract specifically identified in such certification as not
covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be in the
Custodial Files are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Loan Contract. In
making this certification, the Custodian shall separately list those Loan
Contracts for which an original Certificate of Title was not found in the
relevant Custodial File, subject to Section 2.03 of the Loan Sale Agreement, and
shall, within 120 days after the Closing Date deliver to the Indenture Trustee
and MBIA a certification in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that, as to each
such Custodial File (other than any Loan Contract paid in full or any Loan
Contract specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such
certification): (i) all documents required to be in the Custodial File are in
its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear
regular on their face and relate to such Loan Contract.

            (b) If the Custodian during the process of reviewing the Custodial
Files, whether pursuant to clause (a) above or Section 11.04 hereof, finds any
document constituting a part of a Custodial File which is not executed, has not
been received, is unrelated to the Loan Contract identified in the Loan
Schedule, or does not conform to the requirements of clause (a) above or the
description thereof as set forth in the Loan Schedule, then the Custodian shall
promptly so notify the Issuer, the Company, MBIA and the Indenture Trustee.

            The Issuer will use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect
in a document constituting part of a Custodial File of which it is so notified
by the Custodian. If, however, within 60 days after the Custodian's notice to it
respecting such defect the Issuer has not remedied or caused the Company to
remedy the defect and the defect materially and adversely affects the interest
of the Indenture Trustee or of the Noteholders or MBIA in the related Loan
Contract, the Issuer will, on the Determination Date next succeeding the end of
such 60 day period to purchase such Loan Contract, which Purchase Price shall be
deposited in the Collection Account.

            SECTION 11.04. Future Defects.

            During the term of this Indenture, if the Custodian discovers any
defect with respect to the Custodial Files, the Custodian shall give written
specification of such defect to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Company
and MBIA.

            SECTION 11.05. Fees of Custodian.

            The Custodian shall charge such fees for its services under this
Indenture as are set forth in a separate agreement between the Custodian and the
Servicer, the payment of which fees, together with the Custodian's expenses in
connection herewith, shall be solely the obligation of the Servicer. The
Custodian shall perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
notwithstanding nonpayment of the fees and expenses of the Custodian.

            SECTION 11.06. Liability of Custodian.

            Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed by it or
them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own
negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct.

            SECTION 11.07. Reliance of Custodian.

            In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Custodian, the
Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instructions,
certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably
believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any loan document or other request, instruction,
document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required
to be furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not it conforms to the requirements of this
Indenture.

            SECTION 11.08. Transmission of Custodial Files.

            Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the
Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of files
and loan documents in the performance of the Custodian's duties hereunder shall
be delivered by the Servicer to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any files
and loan documents hereunder. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer
will arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense
(or, at the Custodian's option, reimburse the Custodian for all costs and
expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will
maintain such insurance in connection with shipment of the Custodial Files
against loss or damage to files and loan documents as the Servicer deems
appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 11.06
hereof, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any
liability for any losses or damages to any person, including without limitation,
the Indenture Trustee, arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with
instructions of the Servicer unless such instructions are inconsistent with the
Transaction Documents.

            SECTION 11.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

            (a) No resignation or removal of the Custodian and no appointment of
a successor Custodian pursuant to this Article Eleven shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian under Section
11.10 hereof.

            (b) The Custodian may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior
written notice thereof to the Issuer, MBIA and the Indenture Trustee. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Custodian shall not have been delivered
to the Custodian within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Custodian. Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and may prescribe, appoint a successor
Custodian.


                                       76
<PAGE>

            (c) The Custodian may be removed by MBIA or, if an MBIA Default has
occurred and is continuing, by the Controlling Holders, at any time if one of
the following events have occurred:

            (i) the Custodian shall become incapable of acting or shall be
      adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Custodian or of its
      property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
      control of the Custodian or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
      rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or

            (ii) the Custodian has failed to perform its duties under any
      Transaction Document or any side agreements with the Servicer or has
      breached any representation or warranty made herein or therein.

            (d) If the Custodian shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Custodian for any cause
with respect to any of the Notes, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution shall, with
the prior consent of MBIA, promptly appoint a successor Custodian reasonably
satisfactory to MBIA. If no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed by
the Issuer within 30 days of notice of removal or resignation and shall not have
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, then MBIA may appoint a
successor Custodian. If MBIA shall fail to appoint a successor Custodian within
90 days or if an MBIA Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then the
Controlling Holders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Custodian with respect to the Notes.

            (e) The Issuer shall give notice in the manner provided in Sections
13.02 and 13.03 hereof of each resignation and each removal of the Custodian and
each appointment of a successor Custodian to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the
Rating Agencies. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Custodian
and the address of its chief executive office.

            SECTION 11.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

            Every successor Custodian appointed hereunder shall be acceptable to
MBIA and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, MBIA and the retiring Custodian an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Custodian
shall become effective and such successor Custodian, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Custodian but, on request of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, MBIA or the successor Custodian, such retiring Custodian shall execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Custodian all the
rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Custodian, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Custodian all property and money held by
such retiring Custodian hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Custodian,
the Issuer or the


                                       77
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Custodian all such rights, powers and trusts.

            No successor Custodian shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Custodian shall be acceptable to MBIA and
shall be eligible under this Article Eleven.

            SECTION 11.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business of Custodian.

            Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the
Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, provided such
Person shall be acceptable to MBIA and shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, and notice thereof shall be provided by the
Custodian to the Indenture Trustee, MBIA and the Rating Agencies.

            SECTION 11.12. Representations and Warranties of the Custodian. The
Custodian represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Indenture Trustee,
MBIA and the Issuer, as of the Closing Date that:

            (a) The Custodian is duly organized as a state banking association
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is validly existing, in good
standing and has the corporate power and authority under the laws of the United
States of America to conduct its business as now conducted.

            (b) The Custodian has full corporate power and authority under the
laws of the United States of America to enter into and perform all transactions
contemplated herein and no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
federal court or governmental agency or body governing or having jurisdiction
with respect to the Custodian's custodial powers is required for the Custodian
to enter into this Indenture and to perform its obligations hereunder.

            (c) The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture
(a) do not violate any provision of any law or regulation governing the banking
or the custodial powers of the Custodian or any order, writ, judgment, or decree
of any court, arbitrator, or governmental authority applicable to the Custodian
or any of its assets, (b) do not violate any provision of its corporate charter
or by-laws, or (c) do not violate any provision of, or constitute, with or
without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien on any of the property acquired by


                                       78

the Issuer pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement or other undertaking other than this Indenture to which it is a party.

            (d) This Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the
Custodian and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Custodian, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws

limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

            (e) Nothing has come to the Custodian's attention indicating that,
with respect to the Loan Contracts and the Vehicles (i) there exist any adverse
claims, lien, or encumbrances against any of the same; (ii) any Loan Contract
was overdue or had been dishonored or subject to the circumstances described in
ss. 3.304 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York,
or (iii) there exists any other defense against or claim to the Loan Contracts
by any other person or entity. For purposes of this subsection (e), the
Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of the foregoing
matters unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Custodian's
Corporate Trust Administration Department shall have actual knowledge thereof or
written notice thereof is received by the Custodian in accordance herewith.

and shall apply it as provided herein. As of the Closing Date, the Servicer
shall cause all payments theretofore made with respect to the Loan Contracts
that were due on and after the Cut-Off Date and received by the Servicer to be
deposited into the Collection Account for the benefit of the Noteholders and
MBIA in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.

            (b) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to

the Notes.

            SECTION 12.02. Collection Account; Reserve Account; Redemption
Account; Class B Reserve Account Payments.

            (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall

            (b) (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee, for

deposits pursuant to Section 12.02(d)(x) and (iii) any income and gain from

Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account.

            (ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee, for the

(the "Redemption Account") in its name for the benefit of the Noteholders for
receipt of funds and in anticipation of the application of such funds to a
redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof. Any monies deposited
into the Redemption Account for the purposes of redeeming Notes pursuant to
Article Ten hereof shall remain in the Redemption Account until used to redeem
the related Notes.

            (iii) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee, for
the benefit of the Class B Noteholders, shall establish and maintain an Eligible
Account (the "Class B Reserve Account") in its name for the benefit of the Class
B Noteholders for receipt of the Class B Reserve Account Deposit and in
anticipation of the application of such funds pursuant to Section 12.02(g)
hereof. On the Closing Date, the Issuer will cause to be deposited from the
proceeds of the sale of the Notes, an amount equal to the Class B Required
Reserve Account Amount into the Class B Reserve Account.

            (c) Upon the written order of the Issuer (the "Issuer Order"), the
Indenture Trustee shall invest the funds in the Trust Accounts in Eligible
Investments; provided, however, that proceeds of claims on the Class A Note
Insurance Policy and amounts on deposit in the Redemption Account shall remain
uninvested. The Issuer Order shall specify the Eligible Investments in which the
Indenture Trustee shall invest, shall state that the same are Eligible
Investments and shall further specify the percentage of funds to be invested in
each Eligible Investment. No such Eligible Investment shall mature later than
the second Business Day preceding the next following Payment Date or relevant
Redemption Date, as applicable, or be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.
In the absence of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall invest funds in
the Collection Account in Eligible Investments described in clause (vi) of the
definition thereof. Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and MBIA. The Indenture
Trustee shall provide to the Servicer and MBIA monthly written confirmation of
such investments, describing the Eligible Investments in which such amounts have
been invested. Any funds not so invested must be insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the
selection of, or any investment loss resulting from investment of money in the
Trust Accounts in any Eligible Investment in accordance with the terms hereof
(other than in its capacity as obligor under any Eligible Investment). The
Servicer shall deposit into the relevant Trust Account the amount of any
investment losses immediately as realized.

                  (ii) in the event that on any Determination Date the balance

            Class B Required Reserve Account Amount (after giving effect to any
            withdrawal therefrom pursuant to clause (i) above), the Indenture
            Trustee shall withdraw funds in the Class B Reserve Account in such
            amount so that the remaining amount in the Class B Reserve Account
            after such withdrawal will equal the Class B Required Reserve
            Account Amount, and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account
            as Available Funds for distribution on such Payment Date in
            accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 12.02(d); and

amount which represents principal and the amount which represents interest, and
shall contemporaneously advise the Issuer and MBIA of all such payments. The
Indenture Trustee may satisfy its obligations under this Section 12.03 by
delivering the Monthly Servicer's Report to each such Holder of the Notes, MBIA,
the Issuer, the Rating Agencies and the Placement Agents.

            (b) Upon receipt of an Issuer Order or upon an investment pursuant
to clause (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments due to the failure of

credit rating or, if more than one credit rating has been assigned, each such
credit rating of each institution in which funds are invested pursuant to clause
(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments.

            (c) At least annually, or as otherwise required by law, the

            (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 an agent
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 Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 13.01.

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

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

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

            SECTION 13.02. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, MBIA, Issuer and
Servicer.

            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other document provided or permitted hereby to
be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with any party hereto shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and telecopied or mailed,
first-class postage prepaid and addressed to the appropriate address below:

the Indenture Trustee, MBIA, the Noteholders and the Custodian by the Issuer; or

            SECTION 13.03. 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 in which 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
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given.

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

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

other provision of a Note or this Indenture) payment of principal or interest
need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such
Stated Maturity Date or Payment Date and, assuming such payment is actually made
on such subsequent Business Day, no additional interest shall accrue on the
amount so paid for the period from and after any such nominal date.

            SECTION 13.09. Governing Law.

rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. Notwithstanding anything
else to the contrary contained in this Note or the Indenture, the obligation of

tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note shall be applied first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

            Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set

      Name of Buyer:  SunAmerica Life Insurance Company ("Buyer")

      I hereby certify that as indicated below, I am the _______________ officer
of Buyer.

      In connection with purchases by Buyer from time to time, I hereby certify
to you and, if you act as broker for one or more customers, to such customers,
that Buyer is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") because (i) Buyer owned and/or invested
on a discretionary basis $__________(1) in securities (except for the excluded
securities referred to below) as of the end of Buyer's most recent fiscal year
(such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) Buyer
satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.

----------
(1) Buyer must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $100,000,000
in securities unless Buyer is a dealer, and, in that case, Buyer must own and/or
invest on a discretionary basis at least $10,000,000 in securities.


                                      E-2-5
<PAGE>

      Corporation, etc. Buyer is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and
      loan association or similar institution), Massachusetts or similar
      business trust, partnership, or charitable organization described in
      Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

      Bank. Buyer (a) is a national bank or banking institution organized under
      the laws of any State, territory or the District of Columbia, the business
      of which is substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the
      State or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a
      foreign bank or equivalent institution, and (b) has an audited net worth
      of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial
      statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

      Savings and Loan. Buyer (a) is a savings and loan association, building
      and loan association, cooperative bank, homestead association or similar
      institution, which is supervised and examined by a State or Federal
      authority having supervision over any such institution or is a foreign
      savings and loan association or equivalent institution and (b) has an
      audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest
      annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

      Broker-dealer.  Buyer is a dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

      Insurance Company. Buyer is an insurance company whose primary and
      predominant business activity is the writing of insurance or the
      reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies and which is
      subject to supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official
      or agency of a State, territory or the District of Columbia.

      State or Local Plan. Buyer is a plan established and maintained by a
      State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a
      State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.

      ERISA Plan. Buyer is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title
      I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

      Investment Advisor.  Buyer is an investment advisor registered under the
      Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

      The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with Buyer, (ii) securities that are part of an
unsold allotment to or subscription by Buyer (if Buyer is a dealer), (iii)
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv)
bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (v)


                                      E-2-6
<PAGE>

loan participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities owned but
subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps.

      For purposes of determining the aggregate of securities owned and/or
invested on a discretionary basis by Buyer, Buyer used the cost of such
securities to Buyer and did not include any of the securities referred to in the
preceding paragraph.

      Further, in determining such aggregate amount, Buyer may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of Buyer, but only if such subsidiaries are
consolidated with Buyer in its financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such
subsidiaries are managed under Buyer's direction. However, such securities were
not included if Buyer is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another
enterprise and Buyer is not itself a reporting company under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

      Buyer acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that
you and your customers (if you act as a broker for one or more customers) are
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales by you for your own account or your customer's account to Buyer may be in
reliance on Rule 144A.

               ___         ___      Will Buyer be purchasing Rule 144A
               Yes         No       securities only for Buyer's own account?

      If the answer to this question is "no", Buyer agrees that, in connection
with any purchase of securities sold to Buyer for the account of a third party
(including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, Buyer will only
purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a "qualified
institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, Buyer agrees
that Buyer will not purchase securities for a third party unless Buyer has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.

      Buyer agrees to notify you of any changes in the information and
conclusions herein. Until such notice is given to you, Buyer's purchase of
securities from you, or through you from your customers, will constitute a
reaffirmation of the foregoing certifications and acknowledgments as of the date
of such purchase.

      Further, if Buyer is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, Buyer
agrees that it will furnish you with updated annual financial statements
promptly after they become available.

      Name of Buyer:                                         ("Buyer")
      Name of Investment Adviser:                            ("Adviser")

      I hereby certify that, as indicated below, I am the President, Chief
Financial Officer or Senior Vice President of Buyer or, if Buyer is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933
("Rule 144A") because Buyer is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as
defined below), of Adviser.

      In connection with purchases by Buyer from time to time, I hereby certify
to you and, if you act as broker for one or more customers, to such customers,
that Buyer is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") because (i) Buyer is an investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and (ii) as marked
below, Buyer alone, or Buyer's Family of Investment Companies, owned at least
$100,000,000 in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to
below) as of the end of Buyer's most recent fiscal year.

            Buyer owned $__________ in securities (other than the excluded
            securities referred to below) as of the end of Buyer's most recent
            fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule
            144A).

            Buyer is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the
            aggregate $__________ in securities (other than the excluded
            securities


                                      E-2-1
<PAGE>

            referred to below) as of the end of Buyer's most recent fiscal year
            (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by Buyer or Buyer's
Family of Investment Companies, I used the cost of such securities.

      The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or more
registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

      The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with Buyer or are part of Buyer's Family of
Investment Companies, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S., or any
instrumentality thereof, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit,
(iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but
subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps.

      On behalf of Buyer, I acknowledge that Buyer is familiar with Rule 144A
and understands that you and your customers (if you act as a broker for one or
more customers) are and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because one or more sales to Buyer by you for your own account or your
customer's account will be in reliance on Rule 144A. In addition, on behalf of
Buyer, I agree that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold by or
through you in reliance on Rule 144A, Buyer will only purchase for Buyer's own
account.


                                      E-2-2

      Finally, on behalf of Buyer or Adviser (as appropriate), I also agree to
notify you of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such
notice is given to you, Buyer's purchase from time to time of securities from
you, or through you from your customers, will constitute a reaffirmation of the
foregoing certifications and acknowledgements by me as of the date of such
purchase.
