or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, if the
requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute,
and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain
from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or

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

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

exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or
such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with

or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15

receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee

the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Sections 8-405 and 8-406 of the UCC are
met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall
have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the
Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or
upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of
such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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





                                       13

         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 2.07. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 2.08. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.
(a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class
A-4 Notes shall accrue interest at the Class A-1 Interest Rate, the Class A-2
Interest Rate, the Class A-3 Interest Rate and the Class A-4 Interest Rate,
respectively, as set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, Exhibit A-3 and Exhibit
A-4, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as
specified therein, subject to Section 3.01. Interest on each Class of Notes,
other than the Class A-1 Notes, will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Class A-1 Interest
Accrual Period divided by 360. Any installment of interest or principal payable
on a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the
applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or
one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed
first-class postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note
Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been
issued pursuant to Section 2.13, with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee, and except for the
final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment
Date or on the applicable class final scheduled Payment Date (and except for the
Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01)
which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such
checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

         (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Payment Date as provided in the forms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1,
A-2, A-3 and A-4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal
amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the
date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the
Indenture Trustee or Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately
due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments
on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class
entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a
Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the
Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal
of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or
transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that
such final installment will be payable only





                                       14
<PAGE>

upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where
such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.
Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders
as provided in Section 10.02.

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

         SECTION 2.09. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy
as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that
they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes
have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.10. Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.01 and the
terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from
the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by
an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in
accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or an Opinion of Counsel in
lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not
require any such Independent Certificates.

         SECTION 2.11. Book-Entry Notes. The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes,
Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in
the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered
to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf
of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note
Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency,
and no Owner thereof will receive a definitive Note representing such Note
Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.13. Unless and
until definitive, fully registered Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3
Notes or Class A-4 Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to such Note
Owners pursuant to Section 2.13:

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

                  (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture
(including the payment of principal of and




                                       15
<PAGE>

interest on the Book-Entry Notes and the giving of instructions or directions
hereunder) as the sole holder of the Book-Entry Notes and shall have no
obligation to the Note Owners;

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

                  (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until
Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry
Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

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

         SECTION 2.12. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.13, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

         SECTION 2.13. Definitive Notes. If (i) the Administrator advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry
Notes and the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Owners of the
Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency
is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency
shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

         SECTION 2.14. Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for all
purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder,
by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an
interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for all
purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         SECTION 2.15. Representations and Warranties as to the Security
Interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables. The Issuer makes the
following representations and warranties to the Indenture Trustee. The
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Indenture and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale of the Trust
Estate to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture.

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

         (b) The Receivables constitute "chattel paper" within the meaning of
the UCC.

         (c) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the
Receivables free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

         (d) The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the
filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in
the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the
security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

         (e) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted
a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer
has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the
Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest
granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The
Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

         (f) The Servicer as custodian for the Issuer has in its possession all
original copies of the contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables.
The contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks
or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                    Covenants

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

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

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

         On or before the Business Day preceding each Payment Date and
Redemption Date, the Issuer shall allocate or cause to be allocated in the
Deposit Account for distribution to the Noteholders an aggregate sum sufficient
to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying
Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

         The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture
Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of
this Section, that such Paying Agent will:




                                       18
<PAGE>





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

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

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

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

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

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

         Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust
and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in
a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture
Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer,
any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not
limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been
called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or
interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of
record for each such Holder).


                                       19
<PAGE>





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

         SECTION 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to
time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

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

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

                  (iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

                  (iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the
rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against
the claims of all persons and parties.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

         SECTION 3.06. Opinions as to Trust Estate. (a) On the Closing Date, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with
respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as
are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of
this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and
security interest effective.

         (b) On or before March 31, in each calendar year, beginning in 2003,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with
respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture,
any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with
respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by
this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that in the
opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and
security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording,
filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental
hereto


                                       20

<PAGE>





and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such
counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this
Indenture until March 31 in the following calendar year.

         SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. (a)
The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit
any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such
Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement
included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the
validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such
other instrument or agreement.

         (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties
by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of
the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the
Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

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

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

         (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination
to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer
(the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and
accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be
appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the
Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such
event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be
effective until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement with
the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer,
the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than


                                       21


<PAGE>





the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial institution having a
net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the
servicing of Contracts and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer
having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the
delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained
such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with
any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to
the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in
accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the
Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's
duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its
individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and,
accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the
Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the
servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become
successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its affiliates,
provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such
affiliate in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of
any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an
Event of Default under clause (iii), its status and what action the Issuer is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul

Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

                           (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all

Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of
interest shall be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at
the rate borne by the Notes and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee and its agents and counsel.

         (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

         (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by
such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

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

payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received
with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on
their behalf; and

                  (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to
the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 5.04. Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.05):

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

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

                  (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

                  (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in
any manner permitted by law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of
Default described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such
sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge
in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and
interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not
continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been
declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of
Holders of 66% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

         (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

                  FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section
         6.07;

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

                  THIRD: to the Noteholders in the following order of priority:

                  (a) to Holders of the Class A-1 Notes for amounts due and
         unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes for principal, ratably, without
         preference or priority of any kind,


                                       32


<PAGE>





         according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes for
         principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes is
         reduced to zero;

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

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

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

                  FOURTH: to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to the Trust
         Agreement.

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

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

         SECTION 5.06. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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


                                       33
<PAGE>





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

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

                  (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

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

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

         SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

         SECTION 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

         SECTION 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


                                       34

<PAGE>





         SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by
the Noteholders, as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.11. Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except
a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b)
in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

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

                                       35

         SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of a Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the 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 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for
the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

         SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

         SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek
and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected
by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with
respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or
remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate
or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the
Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

         SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a)
Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the
Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance
by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by
the Seller or the Company, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or
in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights,
remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner
directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of
default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution
of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure
performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                       36

<PAGE>





         (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing
or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of
66% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer
under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or against the
Company or the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance
or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, or the Company or the Seller, as
the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to
give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as the case
may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.


                                   ARTICLE VI
                              The Indenture Trustee

         SECTION 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.



                                       37
<PAGE>



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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.02. Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) The Indenture Trustee
may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any
fact or matter stated in the document.

         (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.03. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do




                                       38
<PAGE>


the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with
Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or
removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in
Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying
the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer
shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section
6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or



                                       40
<PAGE>

transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture
Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall
provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

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

         SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture
Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders,
such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts
as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.08 hereof.

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

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

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

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





                                       41
<PAGE>


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

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

         SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee
shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and the time
deposits of the Indenture Trustee shall be rated at least A-1 by Standard &
Poor's and P-1 by Moody's. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section
310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA
Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the
operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other
securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion
set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

         SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

         SECTION 6.13. Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act Licenses.
The Indenture Trustee shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness
of all licenses required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act
in connection with this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby until
the lien and security interest of this Indenture shall no longer be in effect in
accordance with the terms hereof.

in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Notes received by the

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      Accounts, Disbursements and Releases

         SECTION 8.01. Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and
shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of
any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to
or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs
in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument
that is part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as
may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including 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 any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

         SECTION 8.02. Deposit Account. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Issuer shall cause the Servicer to establish and maintain, in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders, the Deposit Account as provided in Section 5.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.

         (b) On or before each Payment Date, the Total Distribution Amount (net
of the Servicing Fee for such Payment Date and any previously unpaid Servicing
Fees and any other distributable amounts that are to be allocated for
distribution or release to the Seller or the Company) with respect to the

in Section 5.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall

following amounts and in the following order of priority (except as otherwise
provided in Section 5.04(b)):

                  (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; provided, that
if there are not sufficient funds allocated in the Deposit Account for
distribution to the Noteholders to pay the entire amount of accrued and unpaid
interest then due on the Notes, the amount allocated in the Deposit Account for
distribution to the Noteholders shall be applied to the payment of such interest
on the Notes pro rata on the basis of the total of such interest due on the
Notes; and





                                       44
<PAGE>


                  (ii) principal on the Notes in the following order of
priority:

                           (A) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes on account
of principal until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes is reduced to
zero;

                           (B) to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes on account
of principal until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-2 Notes is reduced to

                           (D) to the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes on account
of principal until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-4 Notes is reduced to
zero.

If the amounts called for pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(ii)(D) and (E) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement have not been netted out of the Total Distribution
Amount as permitted under that Section under certain circumstances, then after
making the distributions to the Noteholders and subject to Section 8.04, the
Indenture Trustee shall make the distributions, if any, to the
Certificateholders called for pursuant to Sections 5.05(a)(ii)(D) and (E) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided that if the Owner Trustee has removed the
Indenture Trustee as the paying agent for the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
shall distribute such amounts to the paying agent for the Issuer as instructed
by the Owner Trustee.

         SECTION 8.03. General Provisions Regarding Accounts. (a) So long as no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a
portion of the funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee (or the investment manager
referred to in clause (2) of Section 5.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement) upon Issuer Order, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(b) of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All income or other gain from investments of
moneys deposited in the Deposit Account shall remain on deposit in the Deposit
Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such
account. The Issuer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment
of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Deposit Account unless the
security interest Granted and perfected in such Deposit Account will continue to
be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case
without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction
to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

         (b) Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any
way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Deposit Account
resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for
losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such
Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity
as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

         (c) If (i) the Issuer (or the Servicer or any investment manager
pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) shall have
failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Deposit
Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time




                                       45
<PAGE>

(or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any
Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared
due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been
declared due and payable following an Event of Default but amounts collected or
receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section
5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee
shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the
Deposit Account in one or more Eligible Investments.

         SECTION 8.04. Release of Trust Estate. (a) Subject to the payment of
its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee may, and
when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to
release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture
Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII
shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
moneys.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have
been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the
Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other
Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Deposit Account. The
Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture
pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required
by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and
314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

         (c) Each Noteholder, by the acceptance of a Note, acknowledges that
promptly following the Closing Date the Indenture Trustee shall release, and
does hereby release, the lien of this Indenture on each Fixed Value Payment and
Fixed Value Finance Charges (subject to Section 5.03(b) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement), if any, assigned by the Issuer to the Seller, and consents
to such release.

         SECTION 8.05. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive
at least seven days notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action
pursuant to Section 8.04(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved,
and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, except in connection with any
action contemplated by Section 8.04(c), as a condition to such action, an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee,
stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to
complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of
such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and
adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in
contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such
Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair
value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without
independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or
other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such
action.

indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

                  (i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at

Indenture additional property;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         (b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with
prior notice to the Rating Agencies, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder.

         SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may,
with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders of
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by Act of such
Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
affected thereby:

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

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

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

                  (iv) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or
liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04;

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




                                       48
<PAGE>

                  (vi) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such
manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or
principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any
of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the
Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption
of the Notes contained herein; or

                  (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a
parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust
Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the
lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith
with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under
this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

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

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


                                    ARTICLE X
                               Redemption of Notes

         SECTION 10.01. Redemption. The outstanding Class A-4 Notes are subject
to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment
Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate
pursuant to said Section 9.01(a), for a purchase price equal to the Redemption
Price; provided that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies
notice of such redemption. If the outstanding Class A-4 Notes are to be redeemed
pursuant to this Section, the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of
such election to the Indenture Trustee not later than 20 days prior to the
Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit by 9:00 A.M. New York City time on
the Redemption Date with the Indenture Trustee in the Deposit Account the
Redemption Price of the Class A-4 Notes to be redeemed, whereupon all such Class
A-4 Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of
a notice complying with Section 10.02 to each Holder of the Notes.

         SECTION 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under
Section 10.01 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, or by facsimile mailed or transmitted not later than 10 days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such
Holder's address or facsimile number appearing in the Note Register.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price; and






                                       50
<PAGE>

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

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

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


                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  Miscellaneous

         SECTION 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) Upon any
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action
under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii)
(if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified
public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, except
that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing
of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture,
no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

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

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

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






                                       51
<PAGE>

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

                  (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other
         property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made
         the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the
         lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation
         imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to
         the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating
         the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair
         value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral
         or other property or securities to be so deposited.

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

                  (iii) Whenever any property or securities are to be released
         from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
         opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value
         (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed
         to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the
         proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in
         contravention of the provisions hereof.

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

                  (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.10 or any other provision of
         this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements
         of the other provisions of this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell
         or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the
         extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents, (B) make cash
         payments out of the Deposit Account as and to the extent permitted or
         required by





                                       52
<PAGE>

         the Basic Documents and (C) convey to the Seller each Fixed Value
         Payment and Fixed Value Finance Charges (subject to Section 5.03(b) of
         the Sale and Servicing Agreement), so long as the Issuer shall deliver
         to the Indenture Trustee every six months, commencing September 15,
         2002, an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer stating that all the
         dispositions of Collateral described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above
         that occurred during the preceding six calendar months were in the
         ordinary course of the Issuer's business and that the proceeds thereof
         were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such






                                       53
<PAGE>

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
6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or
furnished to or filed with:

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

                  (ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed
first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: DaimlerChrysler Auto
Trust 2002-A, in care of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association, c/o
JPMorgan Chase Bank, 500 Stanton Christiana Road, Newark, Delaware 19713,
Attention of Corporate Trust Administration Department, or at any other address
previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from
the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

         Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of
Fitch Ratings, at the following address: Fitch, Inc., ABS Surveillance Group,
One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10041; (ii) in the case of Moody's,
at the following address: Moody's Investors Service, ABS Monitoring Department,
99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007 and (iii) in the case of Standard &
Poor's, at the following address: Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division
of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10004,
Attention of Asset Backed





                                       54
<PAGE>

Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address
as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

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

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

         In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service 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.

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

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

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

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





                                       55
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

         SECTION 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

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

         SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,



                                       56
<PAGE>

(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-1 1.95% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class
A-1 Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-1 Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture.

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

         Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
and, if the Class A-1 Notes have not been paid in full prior to the Class A-1
Final Scheduled Payment Date, on the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date, in
an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the sixth day of
each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing June 6, 2002.

         As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided
in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

         Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date,
together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full
payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Person whose name
appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes)
on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.),
payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such wire transfer shall be made to the
Person entitled thereto at a depository institution with appropriate facilities
therefor designated by such Person without requiring that this Note be submitted
for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or
any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment
Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as
provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid
principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date or, if applicable, the Class A-1
Final Scheduled Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on
behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder
hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date or the Class A-1 Final
Scheduled Payment Date, as applicable, by notice mailed or transmitted by
facsimile prior to such Payment Date or the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment
Date, as applicable, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only
upon


                                       4

presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal
Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent
appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein and on the face hereof, the transfer of this Note may be
registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in
the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other
"signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in
addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes
of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.

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

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will
not at any time institute against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic
Documents.

         The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will



                                       5

<PAGE>





qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by
acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest
in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income,
single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of
determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

         The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

         The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

         The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, none of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National
Association in its individual capacity, Bank One, National Association in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of
their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees
or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or
performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or
indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its
acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for
any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture
or in this Note.

designated as its Class A-2 2.90% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class

respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-2 Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the

secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

         Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the sixth day of
each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing June 6, 2002.

         As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided

payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person
entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note
Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this

lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available,
as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid
principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in
the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by
notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the
amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set

upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible
guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which
requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program"
as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of
transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will
not at any time institute against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic
Documents.

         The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by
acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes


                                       5

for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes
as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of
determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

         The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

         The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

         The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, none of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National

of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective partners,
beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns
shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof
agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of
an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against
any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided,

or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of
transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will
not at any time institute against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic
Documents.

         The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by
acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes

as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of
determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

         The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

         The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

         The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is

provided in the Basic Documents, none of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National

of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective partners,

shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof
agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of
an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against
any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided,

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Class A-4 4.49% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class
A-4 Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-4 Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture.

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

         Principal of the Class A-4 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described on the face hereof. "Payment Date" means the sixth day of
each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing June 6, 2002.

         As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner
provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class
A-4 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-4 Noteholders entitled thereto.

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

designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible
guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which
requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program"
as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of
transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection

consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will
not at any time institute against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Seller, the Company or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic
Documents.

         The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will

acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest
in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income,
single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of

registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be

Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any

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

         The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.

         The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or
indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its
acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or

         Re:
            --------------------------------------------------------------------
                               [Issue Description]

Ladies and Gentlemen:


         This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain

matters relating to the above-referenced issue (the "Securities"). Trustee will

act as trustee with respect to the Securities pursuant to a trust indenture

dated _____________, 200__ (the "Document").

_____________________________________________________ (the "Underwriter") is

distributing the Securities through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

         To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC,
and to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer
and Trustee make the following representations to DTC:

         1. Prior to closing on the Securities on _____________________, 200_,
there shall be deposited with DTC one Security certificate registered in the
name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., for each stated maturity of the Securities in
the face amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto, the total of which represents
100% of the principal amount of such Securities. If, however, the aggregate
principal amount of any maturity exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be
issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount and an additional
certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount. Each
Security certificate shall bear the following legend:

                  Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
         representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation
         ("DTC"), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange,
         or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in



                                       1
<PAGE>


         the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
         authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co.
         or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative
         of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
         OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered
         owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

         2. In the event of any solicitation of consents from or voting by
holders of the Securities, Issuer or Trustee shall establish a record date for
such purposes (with no provision for revocation of consents or votes by
subsequent holders) and shall, to the extent possible, send notice of such
record date to DTC not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record
date. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by telecopy shall be sent to
DTC's Reorganization Department at (212) 709-6896 or (212) 709-6897, and receipt
of such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning (212) 709-6870. Notices to DTC
pursuant to this Paragraph by mail or by any other means shall be sent to DTC's
Reorganization Department as indicated in Paragraph 4.

         3. In the event of a full or partial redemption, Issuer or Trustee
shall send a notice to DTC specifying: (a) the amount of the redemption or
refunding; (b) in the case of a refunding, the maturity date(s) established
under the refunding; and (c) the date such notice is to be mailed to Security
holders or published (the "Publication Date"). Such notice shall be sent to DTC
by a secure means (e.g., legible telecopy, registered or certified mail,
overnight delivery) in a timely manner designed to assure that such notice is in
DTC's possession no later than the close of business on the business day before
or, if possible, two business days before the Publication Date. Issuer or
Trustee shall forward such notice either in a separate secure transmission for
each CUSIP number or in a secure transmission for multiple CUSIP numbers (if
applicable) which includes a manifest or list of each CUSIP number submitted in
that transmission. (The party sending such notice shall have a method to verify
subsequently the use of such means and the timeliness of such notice.) The
Publication Date shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the redemption date or, in the case of an advance refunding, the date that the
proceeds are deposited in escrow. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by
telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Call Notification Department at (516) 227-4039
or (516) 227-4190. If the party sending the notice does not receive a telecopy
receipt from DTC confirming that the notice has been received, such party shall
telephone (516) 227-4070. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by mail or
by any other means shall be sent to:

                      Manager; Call Notification Department
                      The Depository Trust Company
                      711 Stewart Avenue

         4. In the event of an invitation to tender the Securities (including
mandatory tenders, exchanges, and capital changes), notice by Issuer or Trustee
to Security holders specifying the terms of the tender and the Publication Date
of such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means in the manner set forth in
the preceding Paragraph. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph and notices
of other corporate actions by telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Reorganization
Department at (212) 709-1093 or (212) 709-1094, and receipt of such notices




                                        2

interest and principal portions thereof preferably 5, but not less than 2,
business days prior to such payment date. Such notices, which shall also contain
the current pool factor, and special adjustments to principal/interest rates

name and telephone number, shall be sent by telecopy to DTC's Dividend
Department at (212) 709-1723, or if by mail or by any other means to:

interest accrual period is payment date to payment date.]

         8. Trustee must provide DTC, no later than noon (Eastern Time) on the

         9. Interest payments and principal payments that are part of periodic
principal-and-interest payments shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of

         10. DTC shall receive maturity and redemption payments allocated with
respect to each CUSIP number on the payable date in same-day funds by 2:30 p.m.

         12. DTC may direct Issuer or Trustee to use any other number or address

may be sent.




                                       4
<PAGE>

         13. In the event of a redemption, acceleration, or any other similar
transaction (e.g., tender made and accepted in response to Issuer's or Trustee's
invitation) necessitating a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of
Securities outstanding or an advance refunding of part of the Securities
outstanding, DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request Issuer or Trustee to issue
and authenticate a new Security certificate; or (b) may make an appropriate
notation on the Security certificate indicating the date and amount of such
reduction in principal except in the case of final maturity, in which case the
certificate will be presented to Issuer or Trustee prior to payment, if
required.

         14. In the event that Issuer determines that beneficial owners of
Securities shall be able to obtain certificated Securities, Issuer or Trustee
shall notify DTC of the availability of certificates. In such event, Issuer or
Trustee shall issue, transfer, and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts,
as required by DTC and others.

         15. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository
with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer
or Trustee (at which time DTC will confirm with Issuer or Trustee the aggregate
principal amount of Securities outstanding). Under such circumstances, at DTC's
request Issuer and Trustee shall cooperate fully with DTC by taking appropriate
action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing Securities
to any DTC Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts.

         16. Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligation to, and will
not, communicate to its Participants or to any person having an interest in the
Securities any information contained in the Security certificate(s); and (b)
acknowledges that neither DTC's Participants nor any person having an interest
in the Securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of the
Security certificates by virtue of submission of such certificate(s) to DTC.

         17. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Trustee to advance funds
on behalf of Issuer.

                       SAMPLE OFFICIAL STATEMENT LANGUAGE
                       DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
 (PREPARED BY DTC--BRACKETED MATERIAL MAY BE APPLICABLE ONLY TO CERTAIN ISSUES)


         1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as
securities depository for the securities (the "Securities"). The Securities will
be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co.
(DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Security certificate will be
issued for [each issue of the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal
amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the
aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate
will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount and an
additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal
amount of such issue.]

         2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking
Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number
of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as
securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or
indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its
Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or
through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on
DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation
from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through
which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership
interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books
of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will
not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities,
except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is
discontinued.

         4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by
Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,
Cede & Co. The deposit of




                                       8
<PAGE>

Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no
change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial
Owners of the Securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct
Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may
not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

         5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct
Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.

         6. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of
the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
issue to be redeemed.

         7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to
Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer
as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &
Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts
the Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached
to the Omnibus Proxy).

         8. Principal and interest payments on the Securities will be made to
DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payable date
in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC
has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on payable date. Payments
by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions
and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the
responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Trustee, or Issuer, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to
time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the
Issuer or Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be
the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial
Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

         9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities
purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to Trustee [or
Tender/Remarketing Agent], and shall effect delivery of such Securities by
causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the
Securities, on DTC's records, to Trustee [or Tender/Remarketing Agent]. The
requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional
tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership
rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records
and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to Trustee [or
Tender/Remarketing Agent's] DTC account.

         10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository
with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer
or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities
depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and
delivered.





                                       9
<PAGE>


         11. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of
book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that
event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered.

         12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry
system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but
Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
