requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee
program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in

expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection
therewith.

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.

specified therein, subject to Section 3.01. Any installment of interest or
principal payable on a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by
the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the
Record Date by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to such Person's
address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that,
unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.13, with
respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of
the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal
payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the applicable
class final scheduled Distribution Date (and except for the Redemption Price
for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01) which shall be
payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned
undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

           (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on
each Distribution Date as provided in the forms of the Notes set forth in
Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not
previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or Holders of the Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner
provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall
be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered
at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the 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 or
transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date 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.

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

           SECTION 2.09. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer
may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes


                                      14




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      15




<PAGE>

           such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes
           and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

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

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

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


                                 ARTICLE III

                                  Covenants

           SECTION 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will
duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes
in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without
limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause to
be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a
Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement (i) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class A-1
Noteholders, (ii) for the benefit of the Class A-2 Notes, to the Class A-2
Noteholders, (iii) for the benefit of the Class A-3 Notes, to the 


                                      16




<PAGE>

Class A-3 Noteholders, (iv) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the
Class A-4 Noteholders, (v) for the benefit of the Class A-5 Notes, to the
Class A-5 Noteholders and (vi) for the benefit of the Class B Notes, to the
Class B Noteholders; provided that on any Distribution Date no payment shall
be made on the Class B Notes until payments then due on the Class A Notes
have been made. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a
payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as
having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this
Indenture.

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

           SECTION 3.03. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided
in Section 8.02(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with
respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the
Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section
8.02(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by
another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the 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 or before the Business Day 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 under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture
Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure
so to act.

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

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

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


                                      17



<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      18




<PAGE>

necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the
Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the
Trust Estate.

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

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

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

                     (iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

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

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

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

           (b) On or before March 31, in each calendar year, beginning in
1998, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been
taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the lien
and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of
such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is
necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of
Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling
of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and
continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until
March 31 in the following calendar year.

           SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of
Receivables. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best
efforts not to permit any action to be taken by


                                      19




<PAGE>

others that would release any Person from any of such Person's material
covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the
Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly
provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other
instrument or agreement.

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

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

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

           (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of
termination to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to
Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a
successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer
shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to
the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been
appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases
to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall
automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may
resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations,
such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer enters into a
servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any
such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the
Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor
Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established
financial institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and
whose regular business includes the servicing of Contracts and (ii) enter
into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same
provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable
to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred
to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the
Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such


                                      20



<PAGE>

appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject
to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of
the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the
Servicer's duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall
do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee
and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable
to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and
the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become
successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its
affiliates, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and
omissions of such affiliate in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

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

           (g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without
the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least
a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes, amend, modify, waive,
supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification,
supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral
(except to the extent otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement)
or the Basic Documents, or waive timely performance or observance by the
Servicer or the Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that
any such amendment shall not (A) increase or reduce in any manner the amount
of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, distributions that are required to
be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of the Notes that is required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such
amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the
Indenture Trustee or such Holders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a
request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own
name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the
circumstances.

            SECTION 3.08. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are
Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

                     (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the
           Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell,
           transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties

to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such
declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable.

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

                     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 Indenture
                     Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
                     expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
                     Trustee and its agents and counsel; 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
           5.12.

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 Indenture Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in
the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and
payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii)
default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the
principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will,
upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for
principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the
extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, on
overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes and, in
addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of 


                                      28

collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

           (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon
such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable; provided that, in the case of a default in
the payment of interest, on the Class B Notes, prior to the Class B Final
Scheduled Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall not institute such
Proceeding solely in respect of such default unless the Outstanding Amount of
the Class A-5 Notes has been reduced to zero.

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

           (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, or liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have
been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such
other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial
Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the
creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture
Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand
pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

                     (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
           Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation
           to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee,
           and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for
           reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
           advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
           Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith)
           and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

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


                                      29




<PAGE>

                     (iii) to collect and receive any moneys 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 Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      30




<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 take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce
           the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
           of the Notes; and

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

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event
of Default described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii), unless (A) the Holders of
100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, (B) the proceeds
of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient
to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for
principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust
Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the
Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee
obtains the consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to
clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely
upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of
national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to
the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                     (c) to Holders of the Class A-3 Notes for amounts due
           and unpaid on the Class A-3 Notes for principal, ratably, without
           preference or priority of any kind, according to 


                                      31




<PAGE>

           the amounts due and payable on the Class A-3 Notes for principal,
           until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-3 Notes is reduced to
           zero;

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

                     (e) to Holders of the Class A-5 Notes for amounts due
           and unpaid on the Class A-5 Notes for principal, ratably, without
           preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
           and payable on the Class A-5 Notes for principal, until the
           Outstanding Amount of the Class A-5 Notes is reduced to zero;

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

                     FIFTH: to Holders of the Class B Notes for amounts due
           and unpaid on the Class B Notes for principal, ratably, without
           preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
           and payable on the Class B Notes for principal, until the
           Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes is reduced to zero; and

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

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

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

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

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


                                      32




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

           SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive
Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such
Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder; provided that, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-5 Notes
has been reduced to zero, the Holder of any Class B Note shall have the right
to receive payment of principal and interest due on such Class B Note only to
the extent that there are funds in the Note Distribution Account after
applying the funds therein to the payment of all principal and interest then
due on the Class A Notes.

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


                                      33




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

           SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of
the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02,
the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the
Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the
case of any such waiver, the 


                                      34




<PAGE>

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

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

           SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of a Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted
by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group
of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on
or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

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

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

           SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at
the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as
the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement


                                      35




<PAGE>

or by the Seller or the Company, as applicable, of each of their
obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and to
exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully
available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or
the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the
Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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


                                  ARTICLE VI

                            The Indenture Trustee

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      36




<PAGE>


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      37




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      38




<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.

           The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified
in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      39




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      40




<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

           as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations

                     Accounts, Disbursements and Releases

Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or

           Distribution Account to pay the entire amount of accrued and

continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been

shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default but
amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in

instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey
the Indenture Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under
circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture

Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

           (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no
Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section

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

           Issuer herein and in the Notes contained;

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

                     (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any

           supplemental indenture or to make any other provisions with
           respect to matters or

<PAGE>

           questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
           indenture; provided, that such action shall not adversely affect
           the interests of the Holders of the Notes;

                     (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
           appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the
           Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this

such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained.

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

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

                     (i) change the date of payment of any installment of
           principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal
           amount thereof, the Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price

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

<PAGE>

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

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

                     (iv) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of

           5.04;

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

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

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

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

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

relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The

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

indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

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

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

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


                                      51




<PAGE>

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

                     (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.10 or any other provision
           of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the
           requirements of the other provisions of this Section, (A) collect,
           liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed
           Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
           Documents 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 Indenture Trustee every
           six months, commencing December 15, 1997, an Officer's Certificate
           of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of Collateral
           described in clauses (A) and (B) above that occurred during the
           preceding six calendar months were in the ordinary course of the
           Issuer's business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in
           accordance with the Basic Documents.

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

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

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

           Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the
Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition 


                                      52



<PAGE>

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

           SECTION 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except
as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

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

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

                     (ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any
           Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in
           writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer
           addressed to: Premier Auto Trust 1997-2, in care of Chase
           Manhattan Bank Delaware, 1201 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware
           19801, Attention of Corporate Trustee Administration Department,
           or at any other address previously furnished in 


                                      53




<PAGE>

           writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
           Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
           received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

           Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in
the case of Moody's, at the following address: Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007,
(ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's, at the following address: Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 25
Broadway (15th Floor), New York, New York 10004, Attention of Asset Backed
Surveillance Department, (iii) in the case of Fitch Investors Service, L.P.,
at the following address: One State Street Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10004, and
(iv) in the case of Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co., at the following
address: 17 State Street, 12th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10004; or as to each of
the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice
to the other parties.

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

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

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

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

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


                                      54




<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee
will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with
such agreements.

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

           The provisions of TIA ss.ss. 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
Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees
and agents.

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

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

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

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

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

           SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is
subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such
recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at 


                                      55




<PAGE>

its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the
Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the
protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for
the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under
this Indenture.

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

           SECTION 11.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering
into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby
covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the
Company or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Company 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 Basic Documents.

           SECTION 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable
prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its
representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the
extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for
confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent
with its obligations hereunder.

set forth on the face of this Note.

             This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-1 5.64875% Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the "Class A-1 Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-1
Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

             The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class A-4 Notes, the Class A-5 Notes and the Class B Notes (collectively,
the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, subject to the
subordination of the Class B Notes as provided in the Indenture.

             Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "Distribution
Date" means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing October 6, 1997.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them

of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim
against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom;

capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

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

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

             This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-3 6.12% Asset Backed Notes (herein called
the "Class A-3 Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-3 Notes are

             The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class A-4 Notes, the Class A-5 Notes and the Class B Notes (collectively,
the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, subject to the
subordination of the Class B Notes as provided in the Indenture.

             Principal of the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "Distribution
Date" means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing October 6, 1997.

             As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-3 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal
payments on the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-3

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

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

issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and

             This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-4 6.20% Asset Backed Notes (herein called
the "Class A-4 Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-4 Notes are
subject to all terms of the Indenture.

             The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class A-4 Notes, the Class A-5 Notes and the Class B Notes (collectively,
the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, subject to the
subordination of the Class B Notes as provided in the Indenture.

             Principal of the Class A-4 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "Distribution
Date" means the sixth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing October 6, 1997.

             As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal

extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the
Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or

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

             The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the Class A-4 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

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

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

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

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

this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or

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

             The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein

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

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

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

as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set
forth.

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

             No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,

this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein
prescribed.

             Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of Chase Manhattan Bank
Delaware in its individual capacity, The First National Bank of Chicago in
its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them

for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of,
or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof
agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case
of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim
against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent
recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and
all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or

                     __________________________________________________________

                 ______________________________________________________________
                             [Issue Description]


Ladies and Gentlemen:


             This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain
matters relating to the above-referenced issue (the "Securities"). Trustee
will act as trustee with respect to the Securities pursuant to a trust
indenture dated ________________, 199_ (the "Document"). ___________________
_____________________________________________________ (the "Underwriter") is
distributing the Securities through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

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

             1. Prior to closing on the Securities on _____________________,
199_, there shall be deposited with DTC one Security certificate registered
in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., for each stated maturity of the
Securities in the face amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto, the total of
which represents 100% of the principal amount of such Securities. If,




                                     B-1


<PAGE>

however, the aggregate principal amount of any maturity exceeds $200 million,
one certificate will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal
amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any
remaining principal amount. Each Security certificate shall bear the
following legend:

                         Unless this certificate is presented by an
             authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New
             York corporation ("DTC"), to Issuer or its agent for
             registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any
             certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in
             such other name as is requested by an authorized representative
             of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other
             entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC),
             ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE
             BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
             hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

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

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

                    Manager; Call Notification Department

(including mandatory tenders, exchanges, and capital changes), notice by
Issuer or Trustee to Security holders specifying the terms of the tender and
the Publication Date of such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means in
the manner set forth in the preceding Paragraph. Notices to DTC pursuant to
this Paragraph and notices of other corporate actions by telecopy shall be
sent to DTC's Reorganization Department at (212) 709-1093 or (212) 709-1094,
and receipt of such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning (212) 709-6884.

allocated as to the interest and principal portions thereof preferably 5, but
not less than 2, business days prior to such payment date. Such notices,
which shall also contain the current pool factor, and special adjustments to
principal/interest rates (e.g., adjustments due to deferred interest or
shortfall), and Trustee contact's name and telephone number, shall be sent by
telecopy to DTC's Dividend Department at (212) 709-1723, or if by mail or by
any other means to:

                         Manager; Announcements

                Dividend Deposit Account 066-026776

Issuer or Trustee shall provide interest payment information to a standard
announcement service subscribed to by DTC. In the unlikely event that no such
service exists, Issuer or Trustee shall provide interest payment information
directly to DTC in advance of the interest payment date as soon as the
information is available. This information should be conveyed directly to DTC
electronically. If electronic transmission is not available, absent any other
arrangements between Trustee and DTC, such information should be sent by
telecopy to DTC's Dividend Department at (212) 709-1723 or (212) 709-1686,
and receipt of such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning (212) 709-1270.
Notices to DTC pursuant to the above by mail or by any other means shall be
sent to:

                Manager, Announcements

                New York, NY  10004-2695

             10. DTC shall receive maturity and redemption payments allocated

DTC, such payments shall be wired as follows:

                 The Chase Manhattan Bank

                Reorganization Account 066-027608

             12. DTC may direct Issuer or Trustee to use any other number or
address as the number or address to which notices or payments of interest or
principal may be sent.

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

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


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

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

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

                                                                   SCHEDULE B

                      SAMPLE OFFICIAL STATEMENT LANGUAGE
                     DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
 (Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)


     1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as
securities depository for the securities (the "Securities"). The Securities
will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede
& Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Security certificate
will be issued for [each issue of the Securities, [each] in the aggregate
principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however,
the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $200 million, one
certificate will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal
amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any
remaining principal amount of such issue.]

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

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

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

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



                                     B-8


<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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