Dear Robert:

     Eagle Finance Corp. ("Eagle") and General Electric Capital Corporation 
("GE Capital") entered into a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated 
September 27, 1994 and June 25, 1996 (the "Asset Purchase Agreements"), and 
the Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 25, 1996 (the 
"Servicing Agreement") pursuant to which GE capital agreed to (i) purchase 
from time to time portfolios of motor vehicle retail installment contracts 
from Eagle, and (ii) permit Eagle to service such Contracts, all pursuant to 
the terms and conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreements and the 
Servicing Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements").  Any capitalized terms 
used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to such terms in 
the Agreements.

     Section 9.0(g) of the Servicing Agreement requires that Eagle's Interest 
Coverage shall not be less than 1.15.  Eagle's Interest Coverage for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1997 was -0.08, was -0.58 for the month ending 
October 31, 1997, and was -0.61 for the month ending November 30, 1997.  
Eagle has requested that GE Capital waive the defaults arising upon those 
covenant violations.  In consideration for the terms set forth in this letter 
agreement, GE Capital agrees and hereby does waive, effective as of September 
30, 1997, compliance by Eagle with the provisions set forth in Section 9.0(g) 
of the Servicing Agreement for the period from July 1, 1997 through and 
including November 30, 1997.  From and after December 1, 1997, Eagle must be 
in compliance with the Interest Coverage requirement as stated in Section 
9.0(g) of the Servicing Agreement.
     
     In consideration for the accommodations granted herein, the parties 
agree as follows:
     
     (1)  Eagle shall provide monthly financial statements within thirty (30)
          calendar days from each month end;
     (2)  Financial covenant compliance will be measured on a monthly basis;

     (3)  Going forward, Interest Coverage will be calculated on a year to date
          basis.  However, for the remaining of fiscal year 1997, Interest
          Coverage will exclude all performance prior to October 1, 1997;
     (4)  In the event that Eagle is purchased, or the ownership or management
          structure of Eagle changes materially (the materiality of which shall
          be determined in GE Capital's sole and reasonable discretion) and
          unless GE Capital consents to the proposed change in management or
          ownership of Eagle (which consent shall be given to GE Capital's sold
          and reasonable discretion), then GE Capital shall be entitled to
          remove or replace Eagle as servicer of the Contracts.  
     
     
Without in any way limiting GE Capital's rights under paragraph four above, it
is GE Capital's present intention to evaluate its right to exercise paragraph
four above based upon the proposed owner, manager or servicer's ability to
service GE Capital's portfolio in a manner consistent with GE Capital's
expectations and requirements which shall be determined in its sole discretion. 
Eagle acknowledges and agrees that the expression of GE Capital's present
intention shall not limit GE Capital's rights  under paragraph four above or be
the basis for any claim, counterclaim of any kind against GE Capital.

     Except as expressly provided in this waiver, all terms and conditions of
the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  This waiver shall be
effective only in the specific instance, for the specific provisions, and for
the specific period for which it has been given.

     This waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                              Very truly yours,

                              General Electric Capital Corporation
