BEACH ACCEPTANCE RECEIVABLES CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Transferor"),
having its principal executive office at One Mack Centre Drive, Paramus, New
Jersey 07652.

     WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, LBAC purchases and services
through its auto loan programs certain motor vehicle retail installment sale
contracts secured by new and used automobiles, vans, sport utility vehicles or
light duty trucks acquired from motor vehicle dealers; and

     WHEREAS, LBAC and the Transferor wish to set forth the terms pursuant to
which the Receivables are to be sold by LBAC to the Transferor, which
Receivables together with the other Trust Assets will be conveyed by the
Transferor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, other good and valuable
consideration, and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                               CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

     Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Annex A
attached hereto.

     1.1. Action by or Consent of Noteholders. Whenever any provision of this
Purchase Agreement refers to action to be taken, or consented to, by
Noteholders, such provision shall be deemed to refer to Noteholders of record as
of the Record Date immediately preceding the date on which such action is to be
taken, or consent given, by Noteholders. Solely for the purposes of any action
to be taken, or consented to, by Noteholders, any Note registered in the name of
LBAC or any Affiliate thereof (other than a Note pledged by LBAC or an Affiliate
to a nonaffiliated third party) shall be deemed not to be outstanding and the
aggregate principal balance evidenced thereby shall not be taken into account in
determining whether the requisite principal balance necessary to effect any such
action or consent has been obtained; provided, however, that, solely for the
purpose of determining whether the Indenture Trustee or Trust Collateral Agent
is entitled to rely upon any such action or consent, only Notes the Indenture
Trustee or Trust Collateral Agent knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.

     1.2. Material Adverse Effect. Whenever a determination is to be made under
this Purchase Agreement as to whether a given event, action, course of conduct
or set of facts or circumstances could or would have a material adverse effect
on the Issuer or the Noteholders (or any similar or analogous determination),
[such determination shall be made without taking into account the funds
available from claims under the Policy]. Whenever a determination is to be made
under this Purchase Agreement whether a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant has or could have a material adverse effect on a Receivable or the
interest therein of the Issuer, the Noteholders [or the Note Insurer] (or any
similar or analogous determination), such

determination shall be made by [the Note Insurer in its sole discretion so long
as no Note Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing].

          (ix) Location of Legal Files; One Original. A complete Legal File with
     respect to each Receivable has been or prior to the Closing Date will be
     delivered to the Custodian at the location listed in Schedule B to the Sale
     and Servicing Agreement. There is only one original executed copy of each
     Receivable.

          (x) Schedule of Receivables; Selection Procedures. The information
     with respect to the Receivables set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is
     true and correct in all material respects as of the close of business on
     the Cutoff Date and the Closing Date, and no selection procedures adverse
     to the Issuer, the Noteholders [or to the Note Insurer] have been utilized
     in selecting the Receivables. The computer tape or other listing regarding

     and correct as of the Cutoff Date and the Closing Date in all respects. By
     the Closing Date, LBAC will have caused the portions of LBAC's servicing
     records relating to the Receivables to be clearly and unambiguously marked
     to show that the Receivables constitute part of the Trust Assets and are
     owned by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing
     Agreement.

          (xi) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable, the sale of each Financed
     Vehicle related thereto and the sale of any physical damage, credit life
     and credit accident and health insurance and any extended service contracts
     related thereto complied at the time the related Receivable was originated
     or made and at the execution of this Purchase Agreement complies in all
     material respects with all requirements of applicable Federal, State and
     local laws, and regulations thereunder including, without limitation, usury
     laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act,
     the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
     Federal Trade Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal
     Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z (including amendments to the Federal
     Reserve's Official Staff Commentary to Regulation Z effective October 1,
     1998 concerning negative equity loans), the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
     Relief Act of 1940, as amended, the California Automobile Sales Finance Act
     and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform
     Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and equal credit
     opportunity and disclosure laws.

          (xii) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine,
     legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor,
     enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except only
     as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
     laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and all
     parties to each Receivable had full legal capacity to execute and deliver
     such Receivable and all other documents related thereto and to grant the
     security interest purported to be granted thereby.

          (xiii) No Government, Corporate or Fleet Obligor. None of the
     Receivables is due from the United States of America or any State or from
     any agency, department, or instrumentality of the United States of America
     or any State. All of the Receivables are due from Obligors who are natural
     persons or, if any Obligor is not a natural person, (a) such entity is an
     obligor with respect to five or fewer Financed Vehicles and (b) the related
     Receivable or Receivables have the benefit of the personal guaranty of a
     natural



                                       10
<PAGE>


     person or persons. No Receivable has been included in a "fleet" sale (i.e.,
     a sale to any single Obligor of more than five Financed Vehicles).

          (xiv) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the
     sale, assignment, and transfer thereof, each Receivable shall be secured by
     a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed
     Vehicle in favor of LBAC as secured party, and such security interest is
     prior to all other liens upon and security interests in such Financed
     Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to
     priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials or any other
     non-consensual lien affecting Financed Vehicle arising subsequent to the
     Closing Date), and either (i) all necessary and appropriate actions have
     been taken that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority
     security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of LBAC as secured
     party, and the Lien Certificate for each Financed Vehicle shows, or if a
     new or replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for such new or
     replacement Lien Certificate will be received within 150 days of the
     Closing Date and will show LBAC named as the original secured party under
     any such Receivable and the holder of a first priority security interest in
     such Financed Vehicle, or (ii) a Dealer Title Guaranty has been obtained
     with respect to such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for
     which the Lien Certificate has not yet been submitted to, or returned from,
     the Registrar of Titles, LBAC has received either (i) written evidence from
     the related Dealer that such Lien Certificate showing LBAC as the first
     lienholder has been applied for or (ii) a Dealer Title Guaranty with
     respect to such Financed Vehicle. Immediately after the sale, transfer and
     assignment thereof to the Issuer, each Receivable will be secured by an
     enforceable first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in
     favor of the Issuer as secured party, which security interest is prior to
     all other liens upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle which
     now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for
     the lien of the Indenture and for any lien for taxes, labor or materials
     affecting such Financed Vehicle and arising subsequent to the Closing
     Date).

          (xv) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied,
     subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released from
     the lien granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part. No
     provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered, amended or modified
     in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or documents
     identified in the related Legal File on the Closing Date. No Receivable has
     been modified as a result of application of the Soldiers' and Sailors'
     Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended.

          (xvi) Intentionally Omitted.

          (xvii) Intentionally Omitted.

          (xviii) No Defenses. As of the Closing Date, no right of rescission,
     setoff, counterclaim or defense exists or has been asserted or threatened
     with respect to any Receivable. The operation of the terms of any
     Receivable or the exercise of any right thereunder will not render such
     Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any such right
     of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, or defense.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          (xix) No Liens. As of the Closing Date, there are no liens or claims
     existing or which have been filed for work, labor, storage or materials
     relating to a Financed Vehicle that shall be liens prior to, or equal or
     coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by
     the Receivable.

          (xx) No Default; Repossession. Except for payment delinquencies
     continuing for a period of not more than twenty-nine days (calculated on
     the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), as of the Cutoff
     Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under
     the terms of any Receivable has occurred and not been cured; and no
     continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute
     a default, breach, violation, or event permitting acceleration under the
     terms of any Receivable has arisen; and LBAC shall not waive and has not
     waived any of the foregoing; and no Financed Vehicle shall have been
     repossessed as of the Cutoff Date.

          (xxi) Insurance; other. (A) Each Obligor has obtained insurance
     covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the Receivable
     insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation,
     collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision
     coverage which is in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (x) its
     maximum insurable value or (y) the principal amount due from the Obligor
     under the related Receivable and names LBAC and its successors and assigns
     as loss payee and each Receivable requires the Obligor to obtain and
     maintain such insurance naming LBAC and its successors and assigns as an
     additional insured, (B) each Receivable that finances the cost of premiums
     for credit life and credit accident or health insurance is covered by an
     insurance policy and certificate of insurance naming LBAC as policyholder
     (creditor) under each such insurance policy and certificate of insurance
     and (C) as to each Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service
     contract, the respective Financed Vehicle which secures the Receivable is
     covered by an extended service contract.

          (xxii) Title. It is the intention of LBAC that the transfer and
     assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from
     LBAC to the Transferor and that the beneficial interest in and title to
     such Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the
     filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against LBAC under any bankruptcy
     law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by LBAC
     to any Person other than the Transferor or conveyed by the Transferor to
     any Person other than the Issuer except with respect to any such pledge
     that has been released on or prior to the Closing Date. Immediately prior
     to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, LBAC shall have good
     and marketable title to each Receivable, and shall be the sole owner
     thereof, free and clear of all Liens, claims, encumbrances, security
     interests, and rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof,
     the Transferor shall have good and marketable title to each such
     Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all
     Liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and each
     such transfer has been perfected under the UCC. Immediately prior to the
     conveyance by the Transferor to the Issuer contemplated by the Sale and
     Servicing Agreement, the Transferor shall have good and marketable title to
     each Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all
     Liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others and,
     immediately upon the conveyance thereof pursuant to the Sale and


                                       12
<PAGE>


     Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to
     each such Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear
     of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others, and
     each such transfer has been perfected under the UCC. Immediately prior to
     the pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee contemplated by the
     Indenture, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each
     Receivable, and shall be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all
     Liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others and
     such pledge has been perfected under the UCC. Without limiting the
     generality of the foregoing, no Dealer has any right, title or interest in
     respect of any Receivable. Neither the Transferor nor LBAC has taken any
     action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person
     having a right to payments received under any insurance policies related to
     the Receivables or the Financed Vehicles or the related Dealer Agreements
     or to payments due under such Receivables.

          (xxiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is
     subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer,
     and assignment of such Receivable under this Purchase Agreement shall be
     unlawful, void, or voidable. LBAC has not entered into any agreement with
     any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment
     of any portion of the Receivables.

          (xxiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without limitation,
     UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Indenture Trustee a
     first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the
     proceeds thereof and the other Transferred Property (other than the
     Financed Vehicles) have been made.

          (xxv) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes "chattel paper" under
     the UCC.

          (xxvi) Valid and Binding Obligation of Obligor. Each Receivable is the
     legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is
     enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement
     may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the
     enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all parties to such
     contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such contract and
     all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest
     purported to be granted thereby.

          (xxvii) Tax Liens. As of the Closing Date, there is no lien or claims
     existing or which have been filed against the related Financed Vehicle for
     delinquent taxes.

          (xxviii) Title Documents. (A) If a Receivable was originated in a
     State in which notation of security interest on the title document of the
     related Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to perfect such security
     interest, the title document for such Receivable shows, or if a new or
     replacement title document is being applied for with respect to such
     Financed Vehicle, the title document will be received within 150 days
     following the Closing Date and will show, LBAC named as the original
     secured party under the related Receivable as the holder of a first
     priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle and (B) if the
     Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing of a financing
     statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in motor


                                       13
<PAGE>

     vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show LBAC
     named as the secured party under the related Receivable, and in either
     case, the Indenture Trustee has the same rights as such secured party has
     or would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the
     Receivable) against all parties claiming an interest in such Financed
     Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the relevant Dealer is
     temporarily unable to furnish either an original Lien Certificate or
     satisfactory evidence that the appropriate lien has been recorded on the
     related certificate of title or documentation has been submitted to the
     appropriate state motor vehicle authority to record such lien on such
     certificate of title, LBAC has received the related Dealer Title Guaranty.

          (xxix) Casualty. As of the Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle related to
     a Receivable has suffered a Casualty.

          (xxx) Obligation to Dealers or Others. The Transferor and its
     assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers or other originators or
     holders of the Receivables (including, but not limited to under dealer
     reserves) as a result of its purchase of the Receivables.

          (xxxi) Full Amount Financed Advanced. The full Amount Financed of each
     Receivable has been advanced to or on behalf of each Obligor, and there are
     no requirements for future advances thereunder. The Obligor with respect to
     each Receivable does not have any option under such Receivable to borrow
     from any person additional funds secured by the Financed Vehicle.

          (xxxii) No Impairment. Neither LBAC nor the Transferor has done
     anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person
     having a right to payments due under any Receivables or otherwise to impair
     the rights of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders [or the Note
     Insurer] in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

          (xxxiii) Receivables Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by
     another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from
     such Obligor's obligations to the Transferor or LBAC with respect to such
     Receivable.

          (xxxiv) Servicing. The servicing of each Receivable and the collection
     practices relating thereto have been lawful and in accordance with the
     standards set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; other than LBAC
     and any Back-up Servicer arrangement that has been entered into, no other
     person has the right to service any Receivable.

          (xxxv) Illinois Receivables. (a) LBAC does not own a substantial
     interest in the business of a Dealer within the meaning of Illinois Sales
     Finance Agency Act Rules and Regulations, Section 160.230(l) and (b) with
     respect to each Receivable originated in the State of Illinois, (i) the
     printed or typed portion of the related Form of Receivable complies with
     the requirements of 815 ILCS 375/3(b) and (ii) LBAC has not, and for so
     long as such Receivable is outstanding shall not, place or cause to be
     placed on the related Financed Vehicle any collateral protection insurance
     in violation of 815 ILCS 180/10.

                                       14

          (xxxvi) California Receivables. Each Receivable originated in the
     State of California has been, and at all times during the term of the Sale
     and Servicing Agreement will be, serviced by the Servicer in compliance
     with Cal. Civil Code ss. 2981, et seq.

     (c) The representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement
are made as of the execution and delivery of this Purchase Agreement, but shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the other
Transferred Property hereunder, the conveyance thereof by the Transferor to the
Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge thereof by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. LBAC and the Transferor
agree that the Transferor will assign to the Issuer all of the Transferor's
rights under this Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will assign to the Indenture
Trustee all of the Issuer's rights under this Purchase Agreement and that the
Indenture Trustee shall thereafter be entitled to enforce this Purchase
Agreement and directly against LBAC in the Indenture Trustee's own name on
behalf of the Noteholders; provided, however, that such representations and
warranties shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by LBAC as to the
future payments by any Obligor. The sale of the Receivables pursuant to this
Purchase Agreement shall be "without recourse" except for the representations,
warranties and covenants made by LBAC in this Purchase Agreement or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                COVENANTS OF LBAC

     LBAC agrees with the Transferor as follows; provided, however, that to the
extent that any provision of this ARTICLE V conflicts with any provision of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall govern:

     5.1. Protection of Right, Title and Interest.

     (a) Filings. LBAC shall cause all financing statements and continuation
statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and
interest of the Transferor in and to the Receivables and the other Transferred
Property to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered
and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
(including, without limitation, the State of Delaware) fully to preserve and
protect the right, title and interest of the Transferor hereunder, the Issuer
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders to the Receivables and the other Transferred Property. LBAC
shall deliver to the Transferor, the Owner Trustee and [the Note Insurer] file
stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or
filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recordation,
registration or filing. The Transferor shall cooperate fully with LBAC in
connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all
documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 5.1(a). In
the event LBAC fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the
Transferor or the Trust Collateral Agent may do so at the expense of LBAC.

     (b) Name and Other Changes. At least 60 days prior to the date LBAC makes
any change in its name, identity, corporate structure which would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph
(a) above seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or
any title statute, LBAC shall give the Trust Collateral Agent, [the Note
Insurer] and the Transferor written notice of any such change and no later than
five days after the effective date thereof, shall file appropriate amendments to
all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements. At least
60 days prior to the date of any relocation of its principal executive office or
change in its state of incorporation, LBAC shall give the Trust Collateral
Agent, [the Note Insurer] and the Transferor written notice thereof if, as a
result of such relocation or change, the applicable provisions of the UCC would
require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or
continuation statement or of any new financing statement and LBAC shall within
five days after the effective date thereof, file any such amendment or new
financing statement. LBAC shall at all times maintain each office from which it
shall service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United
States of America.

     (c) Accounts and Records. LBAC shall maintain accounts and records as to
each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof
to know at any


                                       17
<PAGE>

time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and
payments owing (and the nature of each).

     (d) Maintenance of Computer Systems. LBAC shall maintain its computer
systems so that, from and after the time of sale hereunder of the Receivables to
the Transferor, the conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge
of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, LBAC's master computer records
(including any back-up archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate
clearly that such Receivable has been sold the Transferor and thereafter
conveyed to the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the
Transferor's, Issuer's and Indenture Trustee's interest in a Receivable shall be
deleted from or modified on LBAC's computer systems when, and only when, the
Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased.

     (e) Sale of Other Receivables. If at any time LBAC shall propose to sell,
grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any
automobile, van, sport utility vehicle or light duty truck receivables (other
than the Receivables) to any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee,
LBAC shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee
computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up
archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable,
shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been pledged to the Indenture
Trustee unless such Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased.

     (f) Access to Records. LBAC shall, upon reasonable notice, permit the
Transferor, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral
Agent, the Servicer and their respective agents at any time during normal
business hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and abstracts from LBAC's
records regarding any Receivable.

     (g) List of Receivables. Upon request, LBAC shall furnish to the
Transferor, within five Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract
number and name of Obligor) then owned by the Transferor, together with a
reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables.

     (h) Receivable Files. On or prior to the Closing Date, LBAC shall deliver,
either in hardcopy or electronic format, to the Servicer, as agent of the Trust
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.5(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
a complete Receivable File with respect to each Receivable to be kept, either in
hardcopy or electronic format, at the location or locations listed in Schedule B
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (i) Other Actions. LBAC shall from time to time, at its expense, promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents (including, without
limitation, powers of attorney for the benefit of the Servicer) and take all
further action that may be necessary or desirable to permit the Servicer to
perform its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including,
without limitation the Servicer's obligation to preserve and maintain the
perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and the
Financed Vehicles.

     5.2. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge pursuant to the
Indenture, LBAC


                                       18
<PAGE>


will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on any interest therein, and LBAC
shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Transferor, the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee in, to and under such Receivables against all claims of
third parties claiming through or under LBAC; provided, however, that LBAC's
obligations under this Section 5.2 shall terminate upon the termination of the
Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     5.3. Chief Executive Office. During the term of the Receivables, LBAC will
maintain its chief executive office in one of the United States of America,
except Louisiana or Vermont.

     5.4. Costs and Expenses. LBAC will pay all expenses incident to the
performance of its obligations under this Purchase Agreement and LBAC agrees to
pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Transferor, excluding
fees and expenses of counsel to the Transferor, in connection with the
perfection as against third parties of the Indenture Trustee's right, title and
interest in and to the Receivables and security interests in the Financed
Vehicles and the enforcement of any obligation of LBAC hereunder.

     5.5. Delivery of Receivable Files and Legal Files. On or prior to the
Closing Date, LBAC shall deliver the related Receivable Files to the Servicer
and the related Legal Files to the Custodian at the locations specified in
Schedule B to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. LBAC, following receipt from the
Custodian of notification, pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, that there has been a failure to deliver a Legal File with respect to
a Receivable or that any of the documents referred to in the definition of the
term "Legal File" are not contained in a Legal File or, if applicable, the
related Dealer is not listed on a Dealer Title Addendum, shall deliver such
Legal File or any of the aforementioned documents required to be included in
such Legal File or a Dealer Title Addendum listing such Dealer to the Custodian
no later than the Closing Date. Unless such defect with respect to such
Receivable shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period
following discovery thereof, LBAC hereby agrees to repurchase any such
Receivable from the Issuer as of such last day. In consideration of the purchase
of the Receivable, LBAC shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified
in Section 5.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy hereunder of
the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Issuer or the Noteholders
with respect to a breach of this Section 5.5 shall be to require LBAC to
repurchase the Receivable pursuant to this Section 5.5. Upon receipt of the
Purchase Amount, the Trust Collateral Agent shall cause the Custodian to release
to LBAC or its designee the related Legal File and the Servicer to release the
related Receivable File and shall execute and deliver all instruments of
transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by LBAC and delivered
to the Trust Collateral Agent and are necessary to vest in LBAC or such designee
the Transferor's and the Issuer's right, title and interest in the Receivable.

     5.6. Indemnification.

     (a) LBAC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor, [the
Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer, the Collateral
Agent, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the

<PAGE>


requirements of law and for any breach of any of its representations and

Agent, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the

and expenses in defending against the same.

     (e) LBAC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor, [the

Transferor, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer, the
Collateral Agent, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the
Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as the case may be, through the

a party, or by reason of reckless disregard of LBAC's obligations and duties
under this Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document to which it is a

the extent that such cost, expense,


                                       20
<PAGE>

loss, damage, claim or liability shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of the Transferor, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture
Trustee, the Back-up Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Trust Collateral Agent,

expenses of litigation and shall survive termination of the Issuer. These
indemnity obligations shall be in addition to any obligation that LBAC may
otherwise have.

(including without limitation tax and financial accounting purposes) as a sale
on all relevant books, records, tax returns, financial statements and other
applicable documents.

trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Transferor or
any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation

specifically enforced by the Transferor or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Issuer.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     6.1. Obligations of Seller. The obligations of LBAC under this Purchase
Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or
irregularity of any Receivable.

     6.2. Repurchase Events. LBAC hereby covenants and agrees with the
Transferor for the benefit of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Trust Collateral Agent, [the Note Insurer], the Noteholders and the
Certificateholder, that (i) the occurrence of a breach of any of LBAC's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b) (without regard to
any limitations regarding LBAC's knowledge), and (ii) the failure of LBAC to
timely comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, shall
constitute events obligating LBAC to repurchase the affected Receivables
hereunder ("Repurchase Events"), at the Purchase



                                       21
<PAGE>


Amount from the Issuer. Unless the breach of any of LBAC's representations and
warranties shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period
following the discovery thereof by or notice to LBAC of such breach, LBAC shall
repurchase any Receivable if such Receivable or the interest therein of the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders, [the Note Insurer] or the
Certificateholder is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the
last day of such second Collection Period and, in the event that the breach
relates to a characteristic of the Receivables in the aggregate, and if the
Transferor, the Issuer, the Noteholders, [the Note Insurer] or the
Certificateholder is materially and adversely affected by such breach, unless
the breach shall have been cured by the last day of such second Collection
Period, LBAC shall purchase such aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables,
such that following such purchase such representation shall be true and correct
with respect to the remainder of the Receivables in the aggregate. The
provisions of this Section 6.2 are intended to grant the Indenture Trustee a
direct right against LBAC acting at the direction or with the consent of [the
Note Insurer] to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith LBAC
waives any requirement of prior demand against the Transferor and waives any
defaults it would have against the Transferor with respect to such repurchase
obligation. In addition to the foregoing, LBAC shall be under an obligation to
promptly purchase from the Transferor (in its capacity as Transferor under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement) any Receivable required to be repurchased by LBAC
pursuant to a breach of its obligations in the Sale and Servicing Agreement
including, without limitation, LBAC's repurchase obligations set forth in
Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any such purchase
described in this Section shall take place in the manner specified in Section
5.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy hereunder of the
Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Issuer, [the Note Insurer], the
Indenture Trustee or the Transferor against LBAC with respect to any Repurchase
Event shall be to enforce LBAC's obligation to repurchase such Receivables
pursuant to this Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that LBAC shall
indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, [the Note Insurer], the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up
Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder and
their respective officers, directors and employees against all costs, expenses,
losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them, as a
result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to a
Repurchase Event. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Trust Collateral
Agent shall cause the Custodian to release the related Legal File and the
Servicer to release the related Receivable File to LBAC and to execute and
deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are
necessary to vest in LBAC the Transferor's and the Issuer's right, title and
interest in the Receivable.

     6.3. Seller's Assignment of Purchased Receivables. With respect to all
Receivables repurchased by LBAC pursuant to this Purchase Agreement, the
Transferor shall assign, without recourse except as provided herein,
representation or warranty, to LBAC all the Transferor's right, title and
interest in and to such Receivables, and all security and documents relating
thereto.

     6.4. Conveyance as Sale of Receivables Not Financing. The parties hereto
intend that the conveyance hereunder be a sale of the Receivables and the other
Transferred Property relating thereto from LBAC to the Transferor and not a
financing secured by such assets; and the beneficial interest in and title to
Receivables and the other Transferred Property shall


                                       22
<PAGE>


not be part of LBAC's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition
by or against LBAC under any bankruptcy law. In the event that the conveyance
hereunder is for any reason not considered a sale, the parties intend that this
Purchase Agreement constitute a security agreement under the UCC (as defined in
the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) and applicable law, and LBAC
hereby grants to the Transferor a security interest in, to and under the
Receivables and the other Transferred Property, and other property conveyed
hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing for the purpose of securing
payment and performance of the Notes and the Certificate and the repayment of
amounts owed to the Transferor from LBAC.

     6.5. Assignment of Rights. LBAC acknowledges that (i) the Transferor will,
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement convey the Receivables and assign
its rights under this Purchase Agreement to the Issuer and (ii) the Issuer will,
pursuant to the Indenture, pledge all of its right, title and interest in the
Receivables and pledge its rights under this Purchase Agreement to the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and [the Note Insurer], and that the
representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement and the
rights of the Transferor under this Purchase Agreement, including without
limitation under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, are intended to benefit the
Noteholders and [the Note Insurer]. LBAC also acknowledges that the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and [the Note Insurer], as assignees of the
Transferor's rights hereunder may directly enforce, without making any prior
demand on the Transferor, all the rights of the Transferor hereunder including
without limitation the rights under Section 6.2 and 6.3 hereof. LBAC hereby
consents to such sale and assignment.

     6.6. [AMC Guarantee. AMC has issued the Guarantee in favor of the Back-up
Servicer, Custodian and the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, [and the Note Insurer].]

     6.7. Amendment. This Purchase Agreement may be amended from time to time by
a written amendment duly executed and delivered by LBAC and the Transferor with
the prior written consent of [the Note Insurer]; provided, however, that any
such amendment that materially and adversely affects the rights of the
Noteholders must be consented to by the holders of Notes representing more than
50% of the Note Balance. The parties hereto agree to provide the Rating Agencies
with prior notice of, and a copy of, any amendment to this Purchase Agreement.

     6.8. Accountants' Letters. (a) [Accountants] will review in accordance with
procedures previously agreed to by LBAC and the Transferor, certain information
with respect to the characteristics of the Receivables; (b) LBAC will cooperate
with the Transferor and [Accountants] in making available all information and
taking all steps reasonably necessary to permit such accountants to complete the
review necessary to provide the confirmation set forth in clause (a) above and
to deliver the letters required of them under the Underwriting Agreement; and
(c) [Accountants] will deliver to the Transferor a letter, dated the Closing
Date or such later date as the Prospectus shall be available, each in the form
previously agreed to by LBAC and the Transferor, with respect to the financial
and statistical information contained in the Prospectus under the captions "The
Company/Servicer" and "The Trust Property", certain information relating to the
Receivables on magnetic tape or other electronic format obtained from LBAC and
the Transferor and with respect to such other information as may be agreed in
the form of letter.

     6.9. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Transferor in
exercising any power, right or remedy under this Purchase Agreement or the
Assignment, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

     6.10. Notices. All communications and notices pursuant hereto to either
party [or to the Note Insurer] shall be in writing or by telegraph or telex and

the Receivables, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or as required by law.

     6.14. Headings and Cross-References. The various headings in this Purchase
Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of any provision of this Purchase Agreement. References in this

that each of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Owner
Trustee, the Certificateholder [and the Note Insurer] shall be third party
beneficiaries with respect to this Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that
no third party other than the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders [and the Note Insurer], [the Note Insurer], [Underwriters] is a
third party beneficiary of this Purchase Agreement, and each such party may rely
on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of LBAC herein and

Note Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and its successors
and assigns shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce the provisions
of this Purchase Agreement. Except as expressly stated otherwise herein or in

to, approve of, or take any action under this Purchase Agreement, shall be a
