not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

      If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note
Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the
appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the
location, of the Note Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect
the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the
Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of
the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses
of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer
or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other


                                       15
<PAGE>

governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Note
Registrar) connected therewith.

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

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

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

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

      (a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest at the related Interest
Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each Distribution Date as specified

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

      (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Distribution Date
to the extent provided in Article Five of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
in the form of the related Note set forth as an Exhibit hereto. The Trustee
shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer
expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note
will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed within five Business Days of such
Distribution Date (or, in the case of Notes registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of DTC, such notice shall be


                                       16

provided within one Business Day of such Distribution Date) or receipt of notice
of termination of the Issuer pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust Agreement
and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such
Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices
in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as
provided in Section 10.02. In addition, the Administrator shall notify the
Rating Agencies upon the final payment of interest and principal of each Class
of Notes, and upon the termination of the Issuer, in each case pursuant to
Section 1(a)(i) of the Administration Agreement. The entire principal amount of
a Class of Notes will be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the related
Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid interest and
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 Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class have declared the
Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02.
Following such declaration of acceleration, on each Distribution Date or a
payment date described in Section 5.06(b), all amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account or collected by the Trustee
pursuant to Article Five shall be paid in the following amounts and order of
priority:

      payable to the Trustee and to the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid

      Distributable Amount for each class of Class A Notes pro rata in

      principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes as of such Distribution Date

      reduction of principal until the principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes
      has been paid in full;

            (v) to the Holders of each of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3

      effect to any payment of principal on such date) in reduction of principal
      until the principal amount of the Class D Notes has been paid in full;

            (xii) to WFSRC3, until it has received full repayment of its Spread
      Account Initial Deposit; and

            (xiii) to Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the
      Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Trust
      Agreement, any remaining amounts.

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

      Section 2.08. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which
the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled
Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard
retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall
direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided
that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Section 2.11. Definitive Notes.

      (a) If (i)(A) the Administrator advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as described in the Note Depository Agreement and (B) the
Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to


                                       19
<PAGE>

terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Note Owners representing not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of a Class of Notes advise the Trustee and
the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the related Note Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all
Note Owners of the related Class of Notes, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the
related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of a Class, the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

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

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

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

                                    COVENANTS

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

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

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

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

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


                                       21
<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 Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any
      other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be
      made with respect to the Notes;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      (b) Within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning
with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Cut-Off

a date during such 90-day period, to the effect that, in the opinion of such

      Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts; Backup
Servicer.

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

      (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing
its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any performance of such
duties by a Person identified to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate shall
be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for the action or inaction of the Master Servicer or the Administrator.
Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Master Servicer and the
Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this
Indenture.

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

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

      (e) If the Issuer has given notice of termination to the Master Servicer
of the Master Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Issuer shall
(subject to the right of the Trustee to direct such


                                       24
<PAGE>

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

      (f) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer's rights and powers
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify
the Trustee. As soon as a Successor Master Servicer is appointed, the Issuer
shall notify the Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name
and address of such successor Master Servicer.

      (g) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or
observance by the Master Servicer or the Seller of their respective duties under
the Basic Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect the Holders of
the Notes.

      (h) As long as Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Trustee, the
Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall act as Backup Servicer. In accordance
with Article Eight of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicer
shall act as successor to the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer is
terminated pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the
Backup Servicer shall become successor to the Master Servicer under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements
with one or more subservicers approved by the Trustee for the servicing and
administration of the


                                       25
<PAGE>

Contracts (including holding the related Contract Files as custodian), provided
that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such subservicer
in such capacity as Master Servicer. Prior to any termination of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Backup Servicer shall (A) confirm prior to April 24, 2003 that the data provided
on data tapes to be received from the Master Servicer (provided the Backup
Servicer or its agent has received the data tapes) pursuant to Section 3.04(b)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are in a format compatible with the Backup
Servicer's computer systems, (B) on or prior to the third Business Day following
each Distribution Date, beginning April 24, 2003, transfer onto its computer
system the information provided on such data tapes, (C) on or prior to each
Backup Servicer Report Date, generate a statement (prepared using the data
obtained from related data tape) setting forth the same items provided on the
Distribution Date Statement for the Collection Period immediately preceding such
Backup Servicer Report Date (provided that the Backup Servicer has received such
Distribution Date Statement and the related data tape), (D) notify the Master
Servicer and the Trustee within 30 days of the related Backup Servicer Report
Date of any numerical discrepancies between the statement generated in clause
(C) above and the related Distribution Date Statement, assist the Master
Servicer in resolving such discrepancies and notify to the Trustee and the
Rating Agencies of any remaining discrepancies within 60 days of the related
Backup Servicer Report Date and (E) prior to the first Distribution Date, enter
into an agreement with OSI Portfolio Services, Inc. (or such other party as each
Rating Agency deems acceptable) to perform certain duties and obligations of the
Backup Servicer hereunder.

      (i) The parties hereto agree that the Backup Servicer will be relying
solely on the information provided to it by the Master Servicer in performing
its duties and obligations set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.07 (h).

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

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

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

            (iii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to
      be impaired, or permit the lien created by this Indenture to be amended,
      hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person
      to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes
      under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B)
      permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or
      other encumbrance to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or
      burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the
      proceeds thereof (other than (1) tax liens, mechanics' liens and other
      liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on a Financed Vehicle
      and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related


                                       26
<PAGE>

      Obligor and (2) the lien of this Indenture), (C) permit the lien created
      by this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than
      with respect to any such tax, mechanics' or other lien) security interest
      in the Trust Estate or (D) amend, modify or fail to comply with the
      provisions of the Basic Documents without the prior written consent of the

      Notes, except where the Basic Documents allow for amendment or
      modification without the consent the Holders of the Notes; or

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

      Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver
to the Trustee, on or before 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003) an Officer's

compliance of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known

      Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by
      the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
      failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due,
      or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the
      foregoing.

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

      Section 5.02. Rights upon Event of Default.

      (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee may, or if so requested in writing by Holders of Notes representing at
least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
Class, upon prior written notice to each Rating Agency, shall declare by written
notice to the Issuer that the Notes become, whereupon they shall become,
immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued interest thereon and
all other amounts due hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this paragraph, if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v)
shall occur and be continuing the Notes shall become immediately due and payable
at par, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder of the Notes. Payments on the Notes upon a declaration of
acceleration of maturity pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance
with Section 2.07(c).

      (b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been
obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of
Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the
Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

            (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
      sufficient to pay:

                  (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and
            all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such
            Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had
            not occurred; and

                  (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
            reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
            Trustee and its agents and counsel and other amounts due and owing
            to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; and

            (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
      principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
      have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

      No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

      Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.

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

      (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the 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 the Notes and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the
Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

      (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the 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 Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

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

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


                                       35
<PAGE>

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

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

            (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
      may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
      or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer,
      its creditors and its property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator,
      custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby
      authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee,
      and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments
      directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall
      be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each
      predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
      and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by
      the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence
      or bad faith.

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

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

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

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

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


                                       36
<PAGE>

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

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

            (iv) sell or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Master Servicer to
      sell or otherwise liquidate, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
      rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called
      and conducted in any manner permitted by law and deliver the proceeds of
      such sale or liquidation to the Trustee for distribution in accordance
      with the terms of this Indenture; provided, however, that, except as
      otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no such sale or
      liquidation can be made if the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
      distributable to the Noteholders are not sufficient to pay all outstanding
      principal of and accrued interest on the Notes.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default described in Section
5.01(iii) unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
of the Controlling Class consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation are sufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and unpaid on
such Notes in respect of principal and interest or (C) the Trustee determines
that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due
if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, the Trustee provides prior
written notice of such sale or liquidation to each Rating Agency and Holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class
consent to such sale or liquidation. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of this paragraph, the Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

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

      Section 5.06. Priorities.

      (a) If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article, it shall deposit all amounts payable to Holders of the Notes into the
Note Distribution Account and distribute such amounts to the such Holders in the
order and priority set forth in Section 2.07(c).


                                       37
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Section 5.08. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective
due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case
of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

      Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such


                                       38
<PAGE>

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

      Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the 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.

      Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
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 Five or by law to the
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case
may be.

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       39
<PAGE>

      Section 5.13. 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 of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default
and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (i) in payment of
principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which cannot be supplemented, modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. The Issuer shall notify each Rating Agency of any waiver of
a Default or Event of Default.

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

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

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

      Section 5.16. Action on Notes. The Trustee's right to seek and recover
judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the
seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to
this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of
the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any

the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies,
powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of
a Seller or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by such

the Master Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to
give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

      Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       42
<PAGE>

      (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that 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 Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

      (i) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will perform all of the
obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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

      (k) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special,
punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost
profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action.

      (l) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its
control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether
declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action,
including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like
which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by
this Indenture.

      Section 6.02. Rights of Trustee.

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

      (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer's Certificate (with respect to factual matters) or an Opinion of
Counsel, as applicable. The Trustee


                                       43
<PAGE>

shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on the Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

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

      (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the
Controlling Class; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of each such investigation shall be paid
by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

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

      Section 6.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it


                                       44
<PAGE>

shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes,
and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or
in the Notes other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

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

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

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

      The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this Section
shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Administrator
need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

      Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time
by so notifying the Issuer and the Master Servicer. The Issuer shall remove the
Trustee if:


                                       45
<PAGE>

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

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

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

            (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

            (v) the Trustee breaches any representation, warranty or covenant
      made by it under any Basic Document (including any failure or delay in the
      performance of any of its obligations because of circumstances beyond its
      control, as contemplated by Section 6.01(l).

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

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

      If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

      Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of


                                       46
<PAGE>

appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all
fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the retiring Trustee shall be entitled
to payment or reimbursement of such amounts as such Person is entitled pursuant
to Section 6.07.

      Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, that such corporation or
banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section
6.11. The Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency prompt notice of any such
transaction.

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

      Section 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

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

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

            (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
      upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
      performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
      (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
      authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
      except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
      particular act


                                       47
<PAGE>

      or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or
      unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
      powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
      Issuer or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
      and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
      the direction of the Trustee;

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

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

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

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

      Section 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification.

      (a) The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section
310(a) and shall in addition have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); 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.

      (b) If the long term debt rating of the Trustee shall not be at least Baa3
from Moody's and BBB- from Standard & Poor's, the Rating Agencies shall be given
notice of such lower long-term debt rating.

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

      Section 6.13. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee
hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer
and Noteholders shall rely:

            (i) the Trustee is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of its place of incorporation; and

            (ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and legal right to
      execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all
      necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by
      it of this Indenture.

      Section 6.14. Sales Finance Licenses. The Issuer shall take such action
as, in its reasonable judgment, shall be necessary to maintain the effectiveness
of all sales finance company licenses required under the Maryland Code and 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.

Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture
and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in

performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Estate,
the 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 Five.

      Section 8.02. Trust Accounts.

      (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause the Master
Servicer to establish and maintain, in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit

respect of such Distribution Date to Noteholders in respect of the Notes to the
extent of amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest in the
manner and priority set forth in Section 5.05 the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

      Section 8.03. General Provisions Regarding Accounts.

Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, all income or other gain from investments of monies
deposited in such Trust Accounts shall be deposited by the Trustee in the

to the related Trust Account. The Issuer will not direct the Trustee to make any
investment of any funds or to sell


                                       52
<PAGE>

any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest
Granted and perfected in such 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 Trustee to
make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Trustee, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee, to such
effect.

      (b) Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Trustee shall not in any way be held

attributable to the Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal
obligor and not as Trustee, in accordance with their terms.

      (c) If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions for
any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New
York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Trustee),
on any Business Day, (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes have not been declared due
and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes 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 Trustee shall, to the
fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts 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 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 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 Trustee as provided in this
Article shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
monies.

      (b) The Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and
all sums due the 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 Trust Accounts. The Trustee shall release
property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only

and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent
provided in this Indenture have been complied with and (ii) if required by the
TIA, Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and

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 Trustee
shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, stating the legal


                                       53
<PAGE>

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 Trustee in connection with any such action.

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

            (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision

      trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article Six; or

            (vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
      Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification
      of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute

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 must satisfy
the Rating Agency Condition and shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Noteholder or result in the creation of a new security.

      Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may and with

      where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon
      is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
      the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds
      available therefor, as provided in Article Five, to the payment of any
      such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof
      (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

            (ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or
      the Notes of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Holders of which is

<PAGE>

      other Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of
      the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

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

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

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

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

permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by
this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to

Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

      Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall
be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect
to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights,

parties hereto and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and


                                       57
<PAGE>

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

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such

Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer,
to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
Notes.

      Section 10.01. Redemption.

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

      (b) In the event that the assets of the Issuer are sold pursuant to
Section 5.04 of this Indenture, the proceeds of such sale shall be distributed

pursuant to this Section 10.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Issuer shall, to
the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Trustee not later
than 20 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be
payable on the Redemption Date.

      Section 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice.

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

      All notices of redemption shall state:

            (i) the Redemption Date;

            (ii) the Redemption Price;

            (iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment

      due and payable upon each Note and that interest thereon shall cease to
      accrue from and after the Redemption Date.

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

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior notice of redemption under
Section 10.01(b) is not required to be given to Noteholders.

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

      this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the
      Notes, but such Officer's Certificate need not be furnished in the case of
      any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set
      forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
      than one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

            (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.12 or any other provision of this
      Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the other provisions of
      this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the
      Contracts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
      Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to
      the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents, so long as the
      Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee every six months, commencing June 15,
      2003, an Officer's Certificate stating that all the dispositions of
      Collateral described in clauses (A) or (B) that occurred during the
      preceding six calendar months were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's
      business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the
      Basic Documents.

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


                                       62
<PAGE>

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

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

      Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.

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

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

      (c) The ownership of Notes shall be provided 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


                                       63
<PAGE>

registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the 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 Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.

      (a) 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 Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
      sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing, personally
      delivered, sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed or mailed by
      overnight service, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office;
      or

            (ii) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
      sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing, personally
      delivered, sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed or mailed by
      overnight service, to the Issuer addressed to: WFS Financial 2003-1 Owner
      Trust, in care of Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association, as Owner
      Trustee, c/o JP Morgan Chase, Attention: Institutional Trust Services, 500
      Stanton Christiana Road, OPS4/3rd Floor, Newark, Delaware 19713, or at any
      other address furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer.

      (b) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, sent by
facsimile transmission and confirmed or mailed by overnight service, to (i) in
the case of Moody's, at Moody's Investors Service, ABS Monitoring Department, 99
Church Street, New York, New York 10007, (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's,
at Standard & Poor's, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, Attention:
Asset Backed Surveillance Department or (iii) in the case of Fitch, to Fitch
Ratings, One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Asset
Backed Securities - Auto Group, 32nd Floor; or as to any of the foregoing, at
such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other
parties.

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

      Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed


                                       64
<PAGE>

with the 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 of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. 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.


                                       65
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

      Section 11.17. No Petition. The parties hereto, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in
a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute

Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating
to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.

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

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

      Section 11.20. Limitation on Recourse Against WFSRC3. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the obligations of WFSRC3
under the Basic Documents are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC3, and
shall be payable by WFSRC, solely as provided the Basic Documents. WFSRC3 shall
only be required to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities
that it may incur under the Basic Documents from funds available pursuant to,
and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in this Indenture and
(ii) to the extent WFSRC3 has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC3 incurred in
accordance with WFSRC3's certificate of incorporation and all financing
documents to which WFSRC3 is a party. The agreement set forth in the preceding
sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no amount owing by WFSRC3 hereunder
in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of
the Bankruptcy Code) against it.

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Auto Receivable Backed
Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 1.31% Class A-1 Notes (the "Class A-1
Notes"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2003 (the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

      Principal payable on the Class A-1 Notes will be paid on each Distribution
Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
will be payable on the earlier of the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes shall be due and payable following the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, as described in the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata
to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

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

      As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to the
Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Seller, on any

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, 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

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 Trustee on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (i) the 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 Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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.

United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any
obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Trust Estate. 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 and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer and the Trustee may treat

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 neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

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

      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 California, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws, except that the duties of the Trustee under the Indenture shall be

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

The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note

meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

      The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the entire unpaid

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

any payments made on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date shall be binding
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this
Note on a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, then the Trustee, in the name of

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

this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The

conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the

                            [REVERSE OF CLASS B NOTE]

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Auto Receivable Backed
Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.94% Class B Notes (the "Class B
Notes"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2003 (the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or
amended.

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

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

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

      As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to the
Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Seller, on any
Distribution Date as of which the sum of the Principal Balances of the Contracts
is less than or equal to $135,000,000.

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, 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. 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 Trustee on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (i) the 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 Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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 that by

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 other 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 of the Issuer
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 and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the 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 neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor 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

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

      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 California, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws, except that the duties of the Trustee under the Indenture shall be
