                      Obligor or an Issuer or any  Wholly-Owned  Subsidiary that
                      is or becomes a  Subsidiary  Guarantor  concurrently  with

                      concurrently with such transaction) unless:

         (i)          except as set forth in  Section  5.03(b),  the  resulting,
                      surviving or transferee  Person shall expressly assume, by
                      an indenture  supplemental hereto,  executed and delivered
                      to the Trustee,  in form  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
                      Trustee,  all the obligations of such Material  Subsidiary
                      Guarantor under the Notes or its Subsidiary Guarantee,  as
                      the case may be, and this Indenture; and

         in all  respects  have  the same  legal  rank and  benefit  under  this
         Indenture  as the  Subsidiary  Guarantees  theretofore  and  thereafter
         issued in accordance  with the terms of this Indenture as though all of
         such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
         hereof.

                  (b)(i) The  requirements of clause (i) of Section 5.03(a) will
         not apply in the case of a sale or other disposition  (including by way
         of  consolidation  or merger) of a Material  Subsidiary  Obligor or the
         sale  or  disposition  of all or  substantially  all  the  assets  of a
         Material  Subsidiary Obligor (in each case other than to the Company or

         of Counsel to the effect that a sale or other disposition of a Material
         Subsidiary  Obligor  was made by the  Issuers  in  accordance  with the
         applicable provisions of this Indenture,  the Trustee shall execute any
         documents  reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such
         Material Subsidiary Obligor from its obligations under the Notes or its
         Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Indenture.

         (ii)     Triarc  Beverage shall not  consolidate  with or merge with or
                  into, or convey,  transfer or lease,  in one  transaction or a
                  series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets
                  to any  Person  unless  concurrently  therewith,  a  corporate
                  Restricted  Subsidiary  of  the  Company  (which  may  be  the
                  successor to Triarc Beverage as a result of such  transaction)
                  shall expressly assume, by an indenture  supplemental  hereto,
                  executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to
                  the Trustee,  all the obligations of an Issuer under the Notes
                  and this Indenture.

         SECTION 6.01 (Events of Default) is hereby amended as follows:

                  The text of  subsections  6.01(e),  and 6.01(f) is deleted and
replaced with the text "Intentionally Omitted".

                  Subsection   6.01(c)  is  hereby  amended  to  state,  in  its
entirety, the following:

                  (c)  the   failure  by  the   Issuers  to  comply  with  their
obligations under Article 5 above and under Section 4.13.

         SECTION  6.02  (Acceleration)  is  hereby  amended  to  state,  in  its
entirety, the following:

                  (a) If an Event of  Default  (other  than an Event of  Default
         specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 that occurs with respect
         to an  Issuer)  occurs and is  continuing  under  this  Indenture,  the
         Trustee or the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of
         the Notes then  Outstanding,  by written  notice to the Issuers (and to
         the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders  (the  "Acceleration
         Notice")),  may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders  shall,
         declare  the  principal  of,  premium,  if any,  and accrued but unpaid
         interest on all the Notes to be due and payable.  Upon a declaration of
         acceleration,  such principal,  premium,  if any, and accrued  interest
         shall be immediately  due and payable;  provided that if any Designated
         Senior  Indebtedness  is  outstanding,   such  principal,  premium  and
         interest  shall not become due and  payable  until five  Business  Days
         after  the  Representatives  of all the  issues  of  Designated  Senior
         Indebtedness  receive  notice  of such  acceleration.  If an  Event  of
         Default  specified  in clause (g) or (h) of Section  6.01  occurs  with
         respect to an Issuer,  the principal of,  premium,  if any, and accrued
         interest on the Notes then  Outstanding  shall ipso facto become and be
         immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
         part of the Trustee or any Holder.

                  (b) If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event
         of  Default,  the  Issuers or the  Trustee  shall  promptly  notify the
         holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such
         holders of the acceleration.  If any Designated Senior  Indebtedness is
         outstanding upon such declaration of acceleration,  neither the Issuers
         nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may pay the Notes until five Business Days
         after  the   Representatives   of  all  issues  of  Designated   Senior
         Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and,  thereafter,  the
         Issuers  or any  Subsidiary  Guarantor  may pay the Notes  only if this
         Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time.

         Section 6. If any  provision  of this  Supplemental  Indenture  limits,
qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by operation of Section 318(c) of

construed in accordance  with the laws of the State of New York,  without giving
effect to any principles or conflicts of laws to the extent that the application
of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

         Section 8. All agreements of the Issuers and the Subsidiary  Guarantors
in this  Supplemental  Indenture  shall bind their  respective  successors.  All
agreements  of the  Trustee  in  this  Supplemental  Indenture  shall  bind  its
successor.

         Section  9.  This  Supplemental  Indenture  may be  signed  in  various
counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         Section 10. The recitals  herein  contained are made by the Company and

thereof.

         Section 11. This Supplemental Indenture is an amendment supplemental to
the Indenture and the said Indenture and Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth
be read together.

         Section  12.  In  case  any  one or  more  of the  provisions  in  this
Supplemental Indenture shall be held invalid,  illegal or unenforceable,  in any
respect for any reason,  the  validity,  legality,  enforceability,  of any such
provision in every other  respect and of the remaining  provisions  shall not in
any way be affected  or  impaired  thereby,  it being  intended  that all of the
provisions hereof shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld),  provided
that, if at any time during the period when the Debt Service  Coverage  Ratio is

set forth in Exhibit A-1 (form of Temporary  Regulation S Global Note) which the
Issuer shall issue to the Common  Depositary on terms that the Common Depositary
shall hold the same for the account of the Note Owners. The Temporary Regulation
S Global Notes shall be exchanged for interests in one or more permanent  global
notes (each,  a "Permanent  Regulation S Global Note" which,  together  with the
Temporary  Regulation  S  Global  Notes,  are  hereinafter  referred  to as  the
"Regulation S Global Notes")  substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2
(form of Permanent  Regulation S Global Note) pursuant to Section  2.02(a)(iii),
below.  Regulation  S Global  Notes  shall be  issued in fully  registered  form
without interest coupons attached.

(ii) The  Permanent  Regulation  S Global Notes shall be  exchangeable  in their
entirety for Definitive Notes only pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(iv) hereof and in
accordance  with their terms and without charge (other than the costs of postage
and postal  insurance) and, upon complete exchange thereof or payment in full of
the principal of and interest on the Permanent  Regulation S Global Notes,  such
Notes shall be surrendered for cancellation  forthwith to the Indenture  Trustee

Global  Note  shall be  entitled  to the same  rights  and  benefits  under this
Indenture  as if it were the  Holder of  Definitive  Notes  represented  by such
Permanent Regulation S Global Notes.

(iii) At such time as the Distribution  Compliance Period shall have terminated,
and  subject  to  the  receipt  by  the  Indenture   Trustee  of  a  certificate
substantially  in the form of Exhibit E (form of clearance  system  certificate)
hereto signed by the applicable Clearing Agency and a certificate  substantially

beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may be exchanged

Regulation S Global Notes, with such legends as may be applicable  thereto.  The
Permanent  Regulation  S Global Notes  delivered  in exchange for the  Temporary
Regulation  S Global  Notes shall not be mailed or  otherwise  delivered  to any
location  in the  United  States  in  connection  with such  exchange.  Upon any
exchange of any beneficial  interest in the Temporary  Regulation S Global Notes
for a  beneficial  interest in the  Permanent  Regulation  S Global  Notes,  the
Temporary  Regulation S Global Notes shall be endorsed by the Indenture  Trustee
outside of the United States to reflect the  reduction of the  principal  amount
evidenced thereby,  whereupon the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S
Global Notes shall be reduced for all  purposes by the amount so  exchanged  and
endorsed.

(iv)  Each  Permanent  Regulation  S Global  Note  will be  exchangeable  in its
entirety for Definitive  Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons

Delaware or of any  authority  therein or thereof  having power to tax or in the
interpretation  or  administration  of such  laws or  regulations  which  become
effective on or after the Closing Date,  the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee is
or will be required to make any  deduction  or  withholding  from any payment in
respect of the Notes which would not be required if the Notes were in definitive
form.  Upon the surrender of any such Permanent  Regulation S Global Note to the
Indenture  Trustee for such exchange,  the Issuer will execute and deliver at or
from a location  outside the United States,  and the  Authenticating  Agent will
authenticate  and  deliver at or from a  location  outside  the  United  States,
Definitive Notes in exchange for such Permanent  Regulation S Global Note within
30 days of any such occurrence and shall record the names of the Holders of such
Notes in the Note  Register in  accordance  with the  provisions of Section 2.05
hereof.  Except as provided in this Section, Note Owners will not be entitled to

2.02(a)(iv)  shall be read to limit the rights of any Note Owner of a Regulation
S Global Note to transfer such interest in accordance  with Sections  2.05(d)(i)
or (ii) hereof).

(b) Rule 144A Global  Notes.  The Notes offered and sold in the United States or
to U.S.  persons  shall  initially  be issued in the form of one or more  global
notes  (each,  a "Rule 144A Global  Note" and,  together  with the  Regulation S

restriction on the holding and transfer of the Rule 144A Global Notes due to the
Issuer's  reliance on the exclusion to registration  provided by Section 3(c)(7)
of the  Investment  Company Act, (B) request of DTC, and  cooperate  with DTC to
ensure,  that DTC  sends to its  Participants  in  connection  with the  initial

Markets  Commodities  News the "3(c)(7) marker" in place on or about the Closing
Date,  except to the extent  that the  Issuer is  advised  by counsel  that such
indicators may be changed or deleted without the loss of the Issuer's  exemption
from  registration  under the Investment  Company Act. Except to the extent that
the Issuer is advised by counsel that such  indicator  may be changed or deleted
without  the  loss  of  the  Issuer's  exemption  from  registration  under  the
Investment  Company  Act,  the Issuer  shall  ensure that any  Bloomberg  screen
containing  information  about any Note  includes  the  following  (or  similar)
language:

(A)      "Note Box" on bottom of "Security Display" page describing the security

reliance on the exemption  from  registration  under Rule 144A of the Securities
Act to persons who are (i)  Qualified  Institutional  Buyers (as defined in Rule
144A under the  Securities  Act),  (ii)  qualified  purchasers (as defined under

                  Notes   bearing  the  manual  or   facsimile   signatures   of
individuals  who were at the time of such signature the  Authorized  Officers of
the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the  authentication and
delivery  of such Notes or did not hold such  offices at the date of issuance of
such Notes.

                  At any time and from  time to time  after  the  execution  and
delivery of this Indenture,  the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer

                  Each Note  authenticated  and delivered by the  Authenticating

other  purpose  under  this   Indenture   shall  be  dated  the  date  of  their

                  Upon the  transfer,  exchange or  replacement  of a Note under
this Section  2.04,  or under  Section 2.05 or 2.06,  the Issuer may require the
payment by the  Holder  thereof  of a sum  sufficient  to cover any tax or other
governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation  thereto  and any other

Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or
replaced,  but shall represent only the current Aggregate  Outstanding Principal
Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced.

                  In the event that any Note is divided  into more than one Note
in  accordance  with  this  Article  Two,  the  original  Aggregate  Outstanding
Principal Amount of such Note shall be  proportionately  divided among the Notes
delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original  Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Amount of such subsequently issued Notes.

                  No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this  Indenture
or be valid or obligatory  for any purpose,  unless there appears on such Note a
Certificate of  Authentication,  substantially  in the form provided for herein,
executed by the  Authenticating  Agent by the manual  signature  of one of their
Responsible  Officers,  and such  certificate  upon any Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence,  that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.05 Registration of Notes,  Registration of Transfers and Exchange. (a)
The Issuer  shall cause to be kept a register  (the "Note  Register")  in which,
subject to such  reasonable  regulations as it may  prescribe,  the Issuer shall
provide for the  registration  of Notes and the  registration  of  transfers  of
Notes.  The  Note  Register  shall be in  written  form or be  capable  of being
converted into written form within a reasonable  time. The Indenture  Trustee is
initially appointed "Note Registrar" for purposes of registering the Notes. Upon
any  resignation  or removal of the Note  Registrar,  the Issuer shall  promptly
appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of
Note Registrar.

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

                  A Note and the obligations  evidenced  thereby may be assigned
or  otherwise  transferred  in whole or in part  pursuant  to the  terms of this
Section 2.05 only by the  registration  of such  assignment and transfer of such
Note on the Note  Register  (and  each Note  shall so  expressly  provide).  Any
assignment  or  transfer of all or a part of a Note shall be  registered  on the
Note Register only upon surrender for  registration of assignment or transfer of
the Note duly endorsed (or accompanied by a written  instrument of assignment or
transfer reasonably  satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by such
transferee)  by the  registered  holder  thereof,  and thereupon one or more new
Notes in the same Aggregate  Outstanding Principal Amount shall be issued to the
designated  assignee  or  transferee  and the old Note shall be  returned to the
Issuer marked  "canceled".  Prior to the due  presentment  for  registration  or
assignment or transfer of any Note,  the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and the
Registrar  shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is  registered  as the
owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments  thereon and, subject to
the provision of Section 2.08 hereof,  for all other  purposes,  notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary.

                  Subject to this Section 2.05, upon surrender for  registration
of transfer of any Note at the Issuer's  Office,  the Issuer shall execute,  and
the  Authenticating  Agent shall  authenticate  and deliver,  in the name of the
designated  transferee or  transferees,  one or more new Notes of any authorized
denomination and of a like Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount.

                  Subject to the  provisions  of Section  2.02, at the option of
the Holder,  Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms,  in any  authorized
denominations and of like Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount, upon surrender
of the  Notes to be  exchanged  at the  Issuer's  Office.  Whenever  any Note is
surrendered for exchange,  the Issuer shall execute and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.

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

                  No  service   charge  shall  be  made  to  a  Holder  for  any
registration  of transfer or exchange of Notes,  but the  Indenture  Trustee may
require  payment  of a sum  sufficient  to cover  any tax or other  governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.

                  The Issuer  shall not be required  (i) to issue,  register the
transfer of or exchange  any Note  during a period  beginning  at the opening of
business 15 days before any  selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the
close of business in New York,  New York the day of the mailing of the  relevant
notice of  redemption,  or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note
so selected for redemption.

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge
or  hypothecation)  unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements  of  the  Securities  Act  and is  exempt  under  applicable  state
securities laws and the laws of any other applicable  jurisdiction.  No Note may
be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit
of, U.S. persons except to persons who are (i) Qualified  Institutional  Buyers,
(ii) Qualified  Purchasers and (iii) not Competitors who are purchasing Notes in
an Aggregate Principal  Outstanding Amount of not less than $1,000,000 for their
own account,  or for the accounts of one or more Persons that are (1)  Qualified
Institutional  Buyers,  (2) Qualified  Purchasers  and (3) not  Competitors in a

Trustee, and the Insurer (and any agent of any of the foregoing) as the owner of

nothing  herein shall prevent the Issuer,  or the Indenture  Trustee from giving

Members or indirect participants, the operation of customary practices governing
the  exercise  of the  rights  of a  Holder  of any  Global  Note.  Requests  or
directions from, or votes of, the Common Depositary or any Clearance System with
respect to any matter shall not be deemed  inconsistent  if made with respect to
(or in separate  proportions  corresponding to) different beneficial owners. The
Indenture  Trustee  shall  not  have  any  duty  to  monitor,  maintain  records
concerning (or determine compliance with any of the restrictions on transfer set
forth herein with respect to) Note Owners.  Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture
Trustee  shall have any  liability for the accuracy of the records of the Common
Depositary  or any Clearance  System,  or any actions or omissions of the Common
Depositary  or any  Clearance  System (or of the Agent  Members  of or  indirect
participants in any Clearance System).

Initial  Purchasers,  the Insurer or the  Servicers  is acting as a fiduciary or
financial or  investment  adviser for the Holder;  (B) the Holder is not relying
(for purposes of making any investment  decision or otherwise)  upon any advice,
counsel or representations  (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Initial
Purchasers,  the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicers other than in a
current offering memorandum for such Notes and any representations expressly set
forth in a  written  agreement  with such  party;  (C) none of the  Issuer,  the
Initial  Purchasers,  the Insurer,  the Indenture  Trustee or the Servicers have
given to the Holder  (directly  or  indirectly  through  any other  Person)  any
assurance,  guarantee,  or  representation  whatsoever  as to  the  expected  or
projected  success,   profitability,   return,   performance,   result,  effect,
consequence,   or  benefit  (including  legal,   regulatory,   tax,   financial,
accounting,  or otherwise) of this Indenture or documentation for the Notes; (D)
the  Holder  has  consulted  with  its own  legal,  regulatory,  tax,  business,
investment,  financial,  and  accounting  advisers  to the  extent it has deemed
necessary,  and it has made its own investment  decisions  (including  decisions
regarding the suitability of any transaction  pursuant to this Indenture)  based
upon its own  judgment  and upon any advice from such  advisers as it has deemed
necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers,
the  Insurer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  or the  Servicers;  (E) the  Holder  has
determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and
sale of the Notes reflect those in the relevant market for similar transactions;
(F) the Holder is purchasing the Notes with a full  understanding  of all of the
terms, conditions and risks thereof (economic and otherwise),  and it is capable
of assuming and willing to assume  (financially  and otherwise) those risks; and
(G) the Holder is a sophisticated investor.

(v) The Holder  understands  that the Notes offered in reliance on the exemption
from  registration  under  the  Securities  Act  provided  by Rule 144A or on an
exemption  from  registration  under the Securities Act will bear the applicable
legend set forth in Exhibit D, and will be represented by one or more Registered
Notes. The Holder also understands that the Registered Notes and Rule 144A Notes
may not at any  time  be held by or on  behalf  of  U.S.  persons  that  are (A)
Competitors,  (B)  not  Qualified  Institutional  Buyers  or (C)  not  Qualified
Purchasers.  Before any  interest in a Registered  Note may be offered,  resold,
pledged or otherwise  transferred  to a Person who takes delivery in the form of
an interest in a Global Note, the transferor will be required to comply with the
requirements set forth above in Section  2.05(d)(v) or (vi), as applicable as to
compliance with the transfer restrictions.

(vi) (A) The Holder or any holder of an interest in a Note  understands  that no
employee  benefit or other plan that is subject to ERISA or Section  4975 of the
Code, and no entity whose  underlying  assets include "plan assets" by reason of
any such plan's  investment  in the entity,  and no  governmental  plan which is
subject to any federal,  state or local law that is substantially similar to the
provisions  of Section 406 of ERISA or Section  4975 of the Code may purchase or
hold such Note or any interest therein,  unless such purchase and the holding of
such  Note  or such  interest  therein  would  not  constitute  or  result  in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or in
the case of a governmental  plan, any  substantially  similar federal,  state or
local law).  The Holder of a Note, or any holder of an interest in a Note by its
purchase and holding of a Note or any interest therein,  represents and warrants
that (1) it is  neither  an  employee  benefit  or other plan that is subject to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code nor any entity whose underlying assets include
"plan assets" by reason of such plan investment in the entity nor a governmental
plan subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to
the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (2) if it
is an entity described in clause (1), the acquisition or holding of such Note or
an interest  therein will not  constitute  or result in a non-exempt  prohibited
transaction  under  ERISA  or  Section  4975 of the  Code  (or in the  case of a
governmental plan, any substantially similar federal, state or local law).

(vii) The Holder will not, at any time,  offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes
by any form of general solicitation or advertising,  including,  but not limited
to, any advertisement,  article,  notice or other communication published in any
newspaper,  magazine or similar medium or broadcast over  television or radio or
seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or
advertising.

(viii)   The Holder is not a Competitor.

(ix) The Holder understands that the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer,
the Initial  Purchasers and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy
and  truth of the  foregoing  representations,  and it hereby  consents  to such
reliance.

(f) Each  Person  who  becomes  a Note  Owner of a Rule  144A  Global  Note will

Buyer as to which the Note Owner exercises sole  investment  discretion and each
of the Note Owner and any such account is acquiring  the Notes as principal  for
its own  account  for  investment  and  not for  sale  in  connection  with  any
distribution  thereof,  (C) the Note Owner and any such  account  was not formed
solely for the purpose of  investing in the Notes  (except when each  beneficial
owner of the Note Owner or any such  account is a Qualified  Purchaser),  (D) to
the extent the Note Owner (or any account for which it is purchasing  the Notes)
is a private investment company formed before April 30, 1996, the Note Owner and
each such account has received the necessary  consent from its beneficial owners
without loss of any applicable  exemption under the Investment  Company Act, (E)
the Note Owner and any such  account is not a pension,  profit  sharing or other
retirement  trust  fund  or  plan  in  which  the  partners,   beneficiaries  or
participants,  as  applicable,  may designate the  particular  investments to be
made,  (F) the Note  Owner is not a  broker-dealer  that owns and  invests  on a

such  account  shall not hold such Notes for the benefit of any other Person and

arrangement pursuant to which any other Person shall be entitled to a beneficial
interest in the distributions on the Notes, (H) the Notes purchased  directly or

is purchasing  the Notes in a principal  amount of not less than  $1,000,000 for
the Note Owner and each such account,  (J) the Note Owner will provide notice of
the transfer  restrictions  set forth in this Indenture  (including the exhibits
hereto) to any  transferee of its Notes and (K) the Note Owner  understands  and
agrees  that any  purported  transfer of the Notes to a Note Owner that does not
comply with the  requirements  of this  subsection (i) shall be null and void ab
initio and that no  representation  is made by the  Issuer,  the  Insurer or the
Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, to the Note Owner as to the availability
of any exemption  under the Securities  Act, the  Investment  Company Act or any
state securities laws for the resales of the Notes.

(ii) The Note  Owner  understands  that the Notes  have not been and will not be

(B) in  accordance  with all  applicable  securities  laws of the  states of the
United  States.  The Note  Owner also  understands  that the Issuer has not been

be  offered,  sold,  pledged  or  otherwise  transferred  to a person  who takes
delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global  Securities,  the
transferor and the transferee will be required to provide the Indenture  Trustee
with written certifications in the form of Exhibits I and J respectively,  as to
compliance  with the  transfer  restrictions  described  herein.  The Note Owner
understands  and agrees that any purported  transfer of the Notes to a purchaser
that does not comply with the requirements of this clause (ii) shall be null and
void ab initio and that no  representation  is made by the Issuer or the Initial
Purchasers,  as the case may be, as to the  availability  of any exemption under
the Securities Act, the Investment  Company Act or any state securities laws for
resale of the Notes.

(iii) The Note Owner is not  purchasing the Notes with a view toward the resale,
distribution  or other  disposition  thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

certain circumstances. The Note Owner has had access to such financial and other
information  concerning  the  Issuer  and the  Notes as it deemed  necessary  or
appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
purchase of the Notes,  including an opportunity to ask questions of and request
information from the Issuer.

(iv) In connection with the purchase of the Notes:  (A) none of the Issuer,  the

other  than in the  offering  circular  for such  Notes and any  representations
expressly  set forth in a written  agreement  with such  party;  (C) none of the

not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers,  the Insurer,
the  Servicers or the  Indenture  Trustee;  (E) the Note Owner has evaluated the
rates, prices or amounts and other terms and conditions of the purchase and sale
of the Notes with a full understanding of all of the risks thereof (economic and
otherwise), and it is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and
otherwise) those risks; and (F) the Note Owner is a sophisticated investor.

(v) The Note Owner or any Note Owner of an interest in a Note  understands  that

hold such Note or any interest  therein,  unless such purchase and the owning of
such  Note  or such  interest  therein  would  not  constitute  or  result  in a

the case of a governmental  plan, any  substantially  similar federal,  state or
local  law).  The Note  Owner  or any  owner of an  interest  in a Note,  by its

will be deemed to have  represented  and agreed  with the Issuer as set forth in
clauses (ii), (iii),  (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above and to have further
represented  and agreed  with the  Issuer  that (i) the Note Owner is a non-U.S.
Person  that  is a  Qualified  Purchaser  acquiring  the  Notes  in an  offshore
transaction  meeting the  requirements of Regulation S and in a principal amount

case  beneficial  interests  therein  may be  held  only  through  Euroclear  or
Clearstream;  and (v) the  Note  Owner  understands  that,  prior  to the  first
Business Day following the Distribution  Compliance  Period, any resale or other
transfer of beneficial  interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note in the
United States or to U.S. Persons shall not be permitted.

(h) Each Note Owner of a  beneficial  interest  in a  Definitive  Security  will
represent  and agree,  or if  permitted  by the  Issuer,  will be deemed to have
represented  and agreed  with the Issuer as set forth in Section  2.05(g)  above
(other than with respect to Section 2.05 (g)(iv) and (v)).

                  (i)  Notwithstanding  a  request  made to  remove  any  legend
pursuant to Rule 144A,  Regulation S or Section 4(1) of the  Securities Act from
any of the  Notes,  such  Notes  shall  bear  the  applicable  legend,  and  the
applicable  legend shall not be removed  unless there is delivered to the Issuer
such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Issuer,  as may be  reasonably  required by the Issuer to the effect that
neither the applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein
are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule
144A, Regulation S or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, as applicable, and the
Investment Company Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory  evidence (a copy of
which shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to the Insurer),  the Indenture
Trustee,  at the direction of the Issuer,  a copy of which shall be delivered to
the  Insurer,  shall  authenticate  and  deliver the Notes that do not bear such
legend.

(j) Any transfer of a Registered Note initially  issued in reliance on Rule 144A
to a  U.S.  person  or a  U.S.  resident  (as  determined  for  purposes  of the
Investment Company Act) that is not a Qualified Purchaser shall be null and void
and shall not be given  effect  for any  purpose  hereunder,  and the  Indenture
Trustee  shall  hold any  funds  conveyed  by the  intended  transferee  of such
definitive  Registered  Note in trust  for the  transferor  and  shall  promptly
reconvey such funds to such Person in accordance  with the written  instructions
thereof  delivered  to the  Indenture  Trustee at its address  listed in Section

(k) Any purported  transfer of a Note not in  accordance  with this Section 2.05

(l) Nothing in this Section  2.05 shall be  construed  to limit any  contractual
restrictions  on transfers  of Notes or interests  therein that may apply to any
Person.

SECTION 2.06  Mutilated,  Defaced,  Destroyed,  Lost or Stolen Notes. If (a) any
mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to the Indenture  Trustee or (b) (x) if
there shall be delivered to the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee evidence to its
reasonable  satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or theft of any Note, and (y)
there is delivered  to the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee and the Insurer such
security  or  indemnity  as may be required by them to save each of them and any
agent of any of them harmless,  then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser,
the Issuer shall  execute and, upon Issuer  Request,  the  Authenticating  Agent
shall  authenticate  and  deliver,  in  lieu  of any  such  mutilated,  defaced,
destroyed,  lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor  (including  the same
date  of  issuance)  and  equal  principal   amount,   dated  the  date  of  its
authentication,  bearing  interest from the date to which interest has been paid
on the mutilated,  defaced,  destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

                  If, after  delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of
the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor
Note, the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee,  and the Insurer shall be entitled to
recover  such new Note from the  Person to whom it was  delivered  or any Person
taking  therefrom,  and  shall be  entitled  to  recover  upon the  security  or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss,  damage,  cost or expense
incurred  by the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee and the Insurer in  connection
therewith.  Furthermore, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall
be able to  recover  from the  Person to whom such new Note was  delivered,  any
amounts  distributed by the Indenture  Trustee to such Person in respect of such
new Note,  including any loss, damage,  cost or expenses incurred by the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in connection therewith.

                  In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen
Note has  become due and  payable,  the Issuer or  Indenture  Trustee,  in their
discretion may,  instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without  requiring
surrender   thereof   except  that  any  mutilated  or  defaced  Note  shall  be
surrendered;  provided,  that  security or  indemnity  is  furnished as required
above.

                  Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Note Owner thereof of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture
Trustee) connected therewith.

                  Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of
any  mutilated,  defaced,  destroyed,  lost or stolen Note shall  constitute  an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and such new Note shall
be entitled,  subject to the second  paragraph of this Section  2.06, to all the
benefits of this Indenture  equally and  proportionately  with any and all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.

                  All Notes surrendered to the Indenture Trustee under the terms
of this Section 2.06 shall be canceled by the Indenture Trustee.

                  The  provisions  of this Section 2.06 are  exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent  lawful) all other  rights and remedies  with respect to
the  replacement  or payment of mutilated,  defaced,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Notes.

SECTION 2.07 Payment of Principal  and Interest;  Principal and Interest  Rights
Preserved.  (a) General.  The Notes shall  accrue  interest at the Note Rate and
such  interest  shall be  payable on each  Payment  Date as  specified  therein.

Notes as of each Payment  Date,  from such Payment Date to the date such accrued
and unpaid  interest is paid.  For  avoidance  of doubt,  payment of  Additional
Interest shall not be guaranteed under the Policy.

(b)  Payments  of the  applicable  principal  and  interest  will be made by the
Indenture  Trustee,  to the extent such funds are  available in the Trust Estate
to, or to the order of, the relevant  Holders of the Notes appearing on the Note
Register on the Record Date by transfer to the bank  account of each such Holder
specified by such Holder in a written  notice to the Indenture  Trustee not less
than five (5)  Business  Days  before the  Record  Date.  If no such  account is
specified  by the  Holder,  such  payment  shall  be  made to the  bank  account
specified  by such  Holder in the last such  notice  received  by the  Indenture
Trustee or, if no such notice was given, by a banker's draft or order and posted
to such  Holder at the  address  shown in the Note  Register at the risk of such
Holder.

(c) Claims in respect of the Notes will  become void unless made within a period
of three years from the due date of payment thereof.

Interest) in accordance  with the Priority of Payments and principal  payable in
accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments
that are mailed or wired and returned to the Indenture Trustee shall be held for
payment as herein provided at the Issuer's Office.

(e) All reductions in the Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal Amount of a Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal
made on any Payment Date shall be binding  upon all future  Holders of such Note
and of any Note issued upon the  registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(f) No recourse  shall be had for the payment of any amount  owing in respect of
the Notes or any Transaction  Document against any Officer,  director,  employee
member,  manager,  equity  interest  holder,  beneficial  owner,  stockholder or
incorporator of the Issuer, the Noteholders, either Servicer, the Note Register,
the Indenture Trustee,  either Initial Purchaser,  the Insurer, their respective
Affiliates or any of their successors or assigns in their capacities as such. It
is further  understood that the foregoing  provision of this paragraph (f) shall
not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any
Proceeding  or in the  exercise  of any  other  remedy  under  the Notes or this
Indenture,  so long as no  judgment  in the nature of a  deficiency  judgment or
seeking personal  liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against
any of the Persons  enumerated  in the  preceding  sentence in their  respective
capacity enumerated therein.

(g)  Subject  to the  foregoing  provisions  of this  Section  2.07,  each  Note
delivered  under this  Indenture  and upon  registration  of  transfer  of or in
exchange  for or in lieu of any other  Note  shall  carry  the  rights of unpaid
interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing  provisions with respect to payments of
principal  of and  interest  on the  Notes,  if the  Notes  have  become or been
declared due and payable  following an Event of Default and such acceleration of
maturity  and its  consequences  have not been  rescinded  and  annulled and the
provisions of Section 5.02 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and
interest on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 10.03.

(i)      [Reserved.]

(j)      [Reserved.]

(k) Promptly  following  the date on which all  principal of and interest on any
Notes  have been paid in full and any such Notes  have been  surrendered  to the
Indenture  Trustee,  the Indenture  Trustee shall,  upon written notice from the
Insurer of the  amounts,  if any,  that the  Insurer  has paid in respect of the
Notes under the Policy or otherwise which has not been reimbursed to it, deliver
such surrendered  Notes to the Insurer to the extent not previously  canceled or
destroyed.

(l) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.07 to the contrary,  if and
to the  extent the  Insurer  shall have made any  unreimbursed  payments  on the
Notes, the provisions of Section 2.13 shall apply with respect thereto.

by notice to the contrary.

assessments or governmental charges.

                  (b) Each  Foreign  Investor  may deliver to each of the Issuer
and the Indenture  Trustee two copies of either U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Service

foreign  corporation  related,  directly or indirectly,  to Arby's through stock
ownership and is not a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code,  and (ii) two  copies of Form  W-8BEN  or any  subsequent  versions
thereof properly  completed and duly executed by such Foreign Investor  claiming
complete  exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal  withholding tax on
all  payments  of  interest  by the Issuer  under this  Indenture  and the other
Transaction  Documents.  In addition,  each Foreign  Investor shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence,  expiration or invalidity of any such form
previously delivered by such Foreign Investor.  Each such Foreign Investor shall
promptly  notify the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee at any time it determines
that it is no longer in a position to provide any  previously  delivered form to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (or any other form of certification adopted
by the U.S.  taxing  authorities  for such purpose).  Any amount  withheld shall
appropriately reflect any such forms that are timely delivered to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION  2.12 Actions  Under the Policy.  (a) Any payment made by the Insurer to
the  Indenture  Trustee for the benefit of the  Noteholders  (whether  under the
Policy or otherwise) shall not be deemed to be a payment made by or on behalf of
the Issuer and shall not  discharge the  obligations  of the Issuer with respect
thereto,  and such  amounts  shall  continue to be due and owing under the Notes
until paid by or on behalf of the Issuer.  All such  payments  shall  constitute
Reimbursements, repayable by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.03.

(b) If payment by the Insurer is made in respect of interest on the Notes (other
than  Additional  Interest),  the Insurer shall be deemed to have  purchased the
right to receive  interest on such Notes so paid from the Holder  thereof to the
extent of such  payment by the  Insurer.  If  payment by the  Insurer is made in
respect of principal on the Notes, the Insurer shall be deemed to have purchased
such Notes in an aggregate  principal amount equal to the Aggregate  Outstanding
Principal  Amount  of the Notes so paid by the  Insurer.  The  Insurer  shall be
deemed to be a Holder of such Notes  during any period in which the  Insurer may
exercise subrogation rights pursuant to Section 2.13.

(c) If, by 3:00 p.m. in the city in which the Corporate  Trust Office is located
on the Accounting Date preceding any Payment Date, the amount then on deposit in
the  Collection  Account,  after giving effect to transfers of funds pursuant to
Section   10.03(b)  hereof  from  the  Debt  Service  Reserve  Account  and  the
Seasonality Coverage Account, is insufficient to pay the Insured Payments due on
such Payment Date, then, on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business
Day following such  Accounting  Date,  the Indenture  Trustee shall give written
notice to the Insurer of the amount of such  deficiency,  and thereupon submit a
Notice of Claim in respect of such amount,  all in accordance  with the terms of
this Indenture and in strict compliance with the terms of the Policy.

(d) In the event that the Indenture  Trustee has received a certified copy of an
order of the  appropriate  court that any  Insured  Payment of  principal  of or
interest on a Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference  payment
under  applicable  bankruptcy  law, the  Indenture  Trustee  shall so notify the
Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the
Insurer of such avoided  payment,  and shall,  at the time it provides notice to
the  Insurer,  notify  Holders of the Notes by mail that,  in the event that any
Noteholder's  Insured Payment is so recovered,  such Noteholder will be entitled
to payment  pursuant to the terms of the Policy.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall
furnish  to the  Insurer  or its  Fiscal  Agent  (as  defined  in the  Insurance
Agreement) the Indenture  Trustee's records evidencing the payments of principal
of and interest on Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture  Trustee
and  subsequently  recovered  from  Noteholders,  and the  dates on  which  such
payments were made.  Pursuant to the terms of the Policy,  the Insurer will make
such  payment  on  behalf  of  the  Noteholder  to  the  receiver,  conservator,
debtor-in-possession  or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order (as defined in
the Policy) and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder  directly (unless
a Noteholder  has  previously  paid such payment to the  receiver,  conservator,
debtor-in-possession  or  Indenture  Trustee  in  bankruptcy,  in which case the
Insurer will make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to such
Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer).

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or
the  institution  of any  action  (of which the  Indenture  Trustee  has  actual
knowledge)  seeking the avoidance as a preferential  transfer  under  applicable
bankruptcy,   insolvency,   receivership,   rehabilitation  or  similar  law  (a
"Preference  Claim") of any  distribution  made with respect to the Notes.  Each
Noteholder,  by its purchase of Notes,  and the Indenture  Trustee  hereby agree
that so long as an Insurer  Default shall not have  occurred and be  continuing,
the Insurer may at any time during the  continuation of any proceeding  relating
to a  Preference  Claim  direct all matters  relating to such  Preference  Claim
including,  without  limitation,  (i) the  direction  of any appeal of any order
relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,  supersedes
or performance  bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer,  but
subject to  reimbursement as provided in the Insurance  Agreement.  In addition,
and without  limitation of the  foregoing,  as set forth in Section 2.13 hereof,
the  Insurer  shall be  subrogated  to, and each  Noteholder  and the  Indenture
Trustee hereby delegate and assign,  to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
rights of the  Indenture  Trustee  and each  Noteholder  in the  conduct  of any
proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim,  including,  without  limitation,
all rights of any party to an  adversary  proceeding  with  respect to any court
order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

SECTION 2.13 Subrogation Rights of the Insurer;  Payment of Reimbursements.  (a)
Upon the  payment by the  Insurer to the  Indenture  Trustee  (or  otherwise  in
accordance  with the Policy) for the benefit of the  Noteholders,  the  Insurer,
without the need for further action on the part of the Insurer,  the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or any other Person,  shall be fully subrogated to the rights,
as applicable,  of each Holder of the Notes to receive  payments of principal of
and/or  interest on the Notes from the Issuer in accordance with the Priority of
Payments,  to the extent of the amounts paid by the Insurer under the Policy. In
addition,  until  the  Insurer  is fully  reimbursed  in  accordance  with  this
Indenture and the Insurance Agreement for any amounts paid by the Insurer to the
Noteholders, the Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like
with respect to the Notes to the extent that it has made payment of principal or
interest for the benefit of the Notes pursuant to the Policy.  In furtherance of
the foregoing,  the Indenture  Trustee shall give effect to such  subrogation by
distributing  to the  Insurer  (as  subrogee  of the  Holders  of the Notes) the
amounts that otherwise would have been  distributed by the Indenture  Trustee to
such Holders in respect of principal  and interest on the Notes to the extent of
any payments by the Insurer under the Policy.  To evidence such  subrogation  to
the rights of the  Noteholders,  the Note  Registrar  shall  note the  Insurer's
rights as subrogee in the Note  Register  upon receipt from the Insurer of proof
of payment by the Insurer in respect of interest on or  principal  of the Notes.
In addition,  and without  limiting the foregoing,  (a) if the Insurer makes any
payment under the Policy in respect of interest on the Notes,  the Insurer shall
be fully  subrogated to the rights of the  Noteholders to receive such interest,
together  with  interest  thereon at the Late  Payment  Rate (as  defined in the
Insurance  Agreement)  under the  Priority of  Payments,  and (b) if the Insurer
makes any payment  under the Policy in respect of  principal  of the Notes,  the
Insurer shall be fully  subrogated to the rights of the  Noteholders  to receive
such  principal,  together  with  interest  thereon at the Late Payment Rate (as
defined in the Insurance Agreement) under the Priority of Payments.

(b) The  Insurer  may, at its option,  direct the  allocation  of any payment of
Reimbursements  as provided in Section 10.03 as being the repayment of principal
and/or  interest as to  Reimbursements  then owing as of such  reimbursement  or
payment date.

(c) Anything  hereunder  notwithstanding,  it is understood  and agreed that the
Insurer shall be entitled to payment of  Reimbursement  only at the times and as
provided in this Indenture and in the Insurance Agreement. All payments received
by the  Insurer  pursuant  to the  exercise  of its  rights  under  the Notes as
subrogee as described in subsection (a) above shall,  solely by operation of the
definition  of   "Reimbursements,"   cause  a  corresponding   reduction  (on  a
dollar-for-dollar  basis) in the  Reimbursements  owing to the Insurer,  and all
payments  received  by the Insurer in respect of  Reimbursements  as provided in
subsection   (b)   above   shall   cause  a   corresponding   reduction   (on  a
dollar-for-dollar  basis)  in the  amounts  which  may be owing  to the  Insurer
pursuant to such subrogation rights.

(d)  The  Insurer  acknowledges  and  agrees  that,  notwithstanding  any of the
provisions of this  Indenture,  the Insurance  Agreement or otherwise,  it shall
have recourse only to the Collateral.  The Collateral  having been fully applied
in accordance  with the terms hereof,  the Insurer shall not be entitled to take
any further  actions against the Issuer to recover any sums due but still unpaid
hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished as
against the Issuer. In particular,  the Insurer agrees not to take any action or
institute any proceeding  against the Issuer (whether  pursuant to its rights to
be  reimbursed  for  Reimbursements  or  pursuant to its  subrogation  rights or
otherwise) which action or proceeding arises under any Insolvency Law applicable
to the Issuer or which  would be likely to cause the Issuer to be subject to, or
to seek  the  protection  of,  any  Insolvency  Law  applicable  to the  Issuer;
provided,  that  the  Insurer  may  become  a party  to and  participate  in any
Proceeding or action under any  Insolvency  Law applicable to the Issuer that is
initiated by any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Insurer.  For  avoidance
of doubt,  this Section  2.13(d) shall not include any actions taken against the
Servicer or any other Affiliate of the Servicer in respect of matters  unrelated
to Reimbursement by the Issuer.

SECTION 2.14 Additional Covenant of the Insurer.  The Insurer agrees to promptly
notify in writing,  upon the  Insurer's  knowledge of such event,  the Indenture
Trustee of the actual or prospective  occurrence of any event which  constitutes
or would constitute an Insurer Default.

SECTION 2.15 Policy Account.  (a) As of the date hereof,  the Indenture  Trustee
has established in the name of the Indenture  Trustee a separate special purpose
trust account with the corporate trust department of The Bank of New York in New
York (account no. 001621) (such account,  the "Policy  Account") for the benefit
of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders.  The Policy Account shall
be maintained in a depository  institution  which at all times is rated at least
"P-1"  by  Moody's  and  "A-1"  by  Standard  &  Poor's  and if such  depository
institution  at any time is rated  below "P-1" by Moody's or "A-1" by Standard &
Poor's,  the Policy Account shall be transferred from and established at another
depository  institution meeting such criteria within one month of the occurrence
of such ratings  downgrade.  The Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive dominion
and  control  over and sole  right of  withdrawal  of any  amounts in the Policy
Account.  Amounts  in the  Policy  Account  shall  be  invested  at the  written
direction of the American Servicer in Eligible Investments  consisting solely of
obligations issued and guaranteed as to the full and timely payment of principal
and  interest by the United  States of America.  All such  Eligible  Investments
shall have maturities of a period ending on the earlier of the next Payment Date
or the Optional  Redemption Date or the Mandatory  Redemption  Date, as the case
may be.  Amounts in the  Policy  Account  shall be  disbursed  by the  Indenture
Trustee in respect of the Notes in the same  manner as  principal  and  interest
payments  are to be made with  respect to the Notes  hereunder.  It shall not be
necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from
the  check or wire  transfer  used to pay  Insured  Payments  with  other  funds
available to make such payments.  However,  the amount of any Insured Payment to
be paid from the Policy  Account  shall be noted as provided in  subsection  (c)
below.

(b) Any funds received by the Indenture  Trustee from the Insurer as a result of
any  claim  under the  Policy  (together  with any  interest  thereon)  shall be
deposited by the Indenture  Trustee in the Policy  Account;  the only  permitted
withdrawal  from or  application  of funds on deposit  in, or  otherwise  to the
credit of, the Policy  Account shall be to make the Insured  Payments in respect
of the Notes (including Notes held for the Indenture Trustee's own account),  in
the case of the Policy, due on the related Payment Date in respect of which such
funds are paid,  to the extent such  Insured  Payments  are not  otherwise  paid
pursuant to the Priority of Payments.  All proceeds of the Policy,  if any, must
be applied  solely to the  payment  of  Insured  Payments  of  principal  of and
interest  on the Notes and such  funds  may not be  applied  to pay any costs or
expenses,  liabilities or advances of the Indenture Trustee. Any funds remaining
in the Policy Account following a Payment Date shall promptly be remitted to the
Insurer;  provided, that any remaining funds in the Policy Account in respect of
amounts  due and unpaid on the Notes that  remain  undistributed  as a result of
such funds being  unclaimed  shall be disposed  of by the  Indenture  Trustee in
accordance  with  Section  3.03(c).  Amounts  payable  under the Policy shall be
deemed  discharged  upon payment to the Indenture  Trustee or to any other payee
thereof  under the  Policy  or, if  deposited  by the  Insurer  into the  Policy
Account, upon such deposit.

(c) The  Indenture  Trustee  shall keep a complete  and  accurate  record of all
funds, if any, remitted by the Insurer to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into
the Policy  Account and the  allocation  of such funds to payment of interest on
and  principal  in  respect  of any Note.  The  Insurer  shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable  times upon one Business  Day's prior written
notice to the Indenture Trustee or, if requested in writing by the Insurer,  the
Indenture Trustee shall within two Business Days of such request, at the expense
of the Issuer, deliver copies of such records to the Insurer.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                          REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

Issuer shall duly and  punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

SECTION 3.02  Maintenance  of Office or Agency.  The Issuer hereby  appoints the
Indenture Trustee as the Issuer's agent where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes or this  Indenture  may be served and where Notes
may be  surrendered  for  registration  of  transfer or  exchange.  No notice or
demands issued by the  Noteholders  to the Indenture  Trustee shall be effective
unless and until the  Indenture  Trustee  forwards  such notice or demand to the
Issuer.

                  The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as paying
agent for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes.

                  The Issuer or the  Indenture  Trustee may at any time and from
time to time vary or terminate the  appointment of any such agent or appoint any
additional agents for any or all of such purposes, with notice to the Insurer of
such  appointment.  The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders of the appointment
or  termination  of any such  agent and of the  location  and any  change in the
location of any such office or agency.

                  If at any time the  Issuer  shall  fail to  maintain  any such
required office or agency,  or shall fail to furnish the Indenture  Trustee with
the address  thereof,  presentations  and surrenders may be made (subject to the
limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may
be served on the Issuer at its registered office, and Notes may be presented and
surrendered  for  payment to the  Indenture  Trustee at its main  office and the
Issuer  hereby  appoints  the  same as its  agent  to  receive  such  respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

SECTION  3.03 Money for Note  Payments to Be Held in Trust.  (a) All payments of
amounts  due and  payable  with  respect  to any Notes  that are to be made from
amounts  withdrawn  from the  Collection  Account shall be made on behalf of the
Issuer by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof.

(b) 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
the Indenture  Trustee to pay to the  Noteholders  all sums held in trust by the
Indenture Trustee; and upon such payment by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(c) Any money  held by the  Indenture  Trustee  in trust for the  payment of any
amount due with respect to any Note and remaining  unclaimed for 60 months after
such amount has become due and payable to such  Noteholder  shall be  discharged
from such trust and paid to the Issuer (or to the Insurer, if such monies relate
to payments  made by the Insurer into the Policy  Account)  and such  Noteholder
shall  thereafter  look only to the Issuer (or  Insurer,  as the case may be, if
monies have been  returned to the Insurer) for payment  thereof (but only to the
extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer or  Insurer),  and all  liability of
the Indenture  Trustee with respect to such trust money shall  thereupon  cease;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, before making any such payment to
the  Issuer or the  Insurer  (as the case may be),  shall at the  expense of the
Issuer  cause  notice to be given as provided in Section  12.04 hereof that such
money remains unclaimed and, after a date specified therein,  which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such notice,  any  unclaimed  balance of such
money then  remaining  will be repaid to the Issuer or the  Insurer (is the case
may be),  provided further that in the case of funds to be repaid to the Issuer,
all amounts due and owing to the  Indenture  Trustee  shall have been paid.  The
Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ,  at the expense of the Issuer,  any
other  reasonable  means  of  notification  of such  release  of  payment.  Upon
repayment of such money to the Issuer or the Insurer,  such Noteholder shall, to
the extent of the money repaid to the Issuer or Insurer,  as  applicable,  be an
unsecured general creditor of the Issuer or the Insurer, as the case may be.

SECTION 3.04 Existence of the Issuer. Subject to Section 3.09 and Article Eleven
of this  Indenture,  the  Issuer  will  maintain  in full  force and  effect its
existence as a statutory business trust organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware and will preserve, to the extent permitted by law, its qualification to
do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
is or shall be  necessary to protect the  validity  and  enforceability  of this
Indenture or the Notes or to avoid any Material  Adverse  Effect on any property
included in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.05 Protection of Trust Estate.  The Issuer shall from time to time and
at its expense execute and deliver all such  supplements  and amendments  hereto
and all such  Financing  Statements,  continuation  statements,  instruments  of
further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may
be necessary or advisable to:

                  (a)(i)  maintain or preserve the Lien of this  Indenture,  and
         the status of the  Collateral  as being free of Liens  except for Liens
         that do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate;

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

(iii)    (iii)  preserve title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Secured
         Parties in such Trust  Estate  against  the claims of all  persons  and
         parties; and

             (b)(i)  Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust
             Estate;

(ii)     carry out more effectively the purposes of maintaining or preserving
         the Lien (and its status as being free of Liens) of this Indenture;

         any instruments or property included in the Trust Estate;

(iv)     defend  title to the Trust  Estate  and the rights of the  Secured
         Parties in such  Trust  Estate  against  the claims of all persons and
         parties; or

(v)      pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the
         Trust Estate.

                  The Issuer or the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing) may direct the Indenture Trustee in writing, at
the Issuer's  expense,  to execute any such  Financing  Statement,  continuation
statement,  instrument of further assurance or other  instrument.  The Issuer or
the Insurer, as applicable, hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any Financing Statement,  continuation  statement or
other instrument  required  pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Indenture Trustee
may  execute  any such  Financing  Statement,  continuation  statement  or other
instrument only with the written consent of the Controlling Party.

                  On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel stating the necessary  events upon
the  occurrence of which the security  interest of the Indenture  Trustee in the
Trust Estate shall be a perfected  security  interest,  free of Liens other than
the Lien of this  Indenture and other Liens  permitted  hereunder and confirming
that such events have  occurred and such  security  interest is so perfected and
unencumbered.

                  Within 50 days  after the  beginning  of each  calendar  year,
commencing in 2002,  the Issuer shall  furnish to the Indenture  Trustee and the
Insurer  an  Opinion  of Counsel  (which  opinion  subsequent  to the first such
opinion so  furnished  may be delivered by counsel to the Issuer who may also be
an officer or employee of the Issuer) stating that the security  interest of the
Indenture Trustee in the Trust Estate is a perfected  security interest and that
the Trust  Estate is free of Liens  other  than the Lien of this  Indenture  and
other Liens permitted hereunder.

SECTION 3.06 Performance of Obligations.  Except as otherwise  permitted by this
Indenture or as a Servicer is permitted under a Servicing Agreement,  the Issuer
shall take no action that would  release  any Person  from any of such  Person's
covenants  or  obligations   under  any  agreement,   instrument  or  underlying
instrument included in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.07 Negative  Covenants.  (a) Except as otherwise  permitted under this
Indenture or the Servicing Agreements, the Issuer shall not:

(i)      sell,  convey,  transfer  or grant any  rights in respect of any of the
         Collateral to any other  Person,  permit to exist any Lien with respect
         to any of the Collateral  except for certain Liens permitted under this
         Indenture  and the Lien of this  Indenture,  take any  other  action in
         connection with any of the  Collateral,  including (but not limited to)
         any  amendment  of, or any  consent  to any  waiver of rights or to any
         other action under or in respect of the Collateral;

(ii)     [Reserved];

(iii)    have any subsidiaries;

(iv)     without the consent of the  Controlling  Party,  such consent not to be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed, amend, supplement or otherwise modify
         any of the Transaction Documents or waive any breach or proposed breach
         of any  provision  of the  Transaction  Documents  or give any  consent
         thereunder;

(v)      sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise grant any rights in or dispose
         of any of its assets;

(vi)     dissolve or liquidate;

(vii)    [Reserved];

(viii)   terminate the appointment of either of the Servicers;

         Document to be  impaired,  or permit the Lien of this  Indenture  to be
         amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged;

(x)      take any affirmative action to permit the Lien of this Indenture not to
         constitute a valid perfected security interest in the Trust Estate that
         is of first priority as provided herein, or take any affirmative action
         to permit the Trust Estate to be subject to any Lien thereon other than
         the Lien of this  Indenture  and any other  Liens  expressly  permitted
         hereunder;

(xi)     [Reserved];

(xii)    have any employees;

(xiii)   take any action,  or fail to take any action, if such action or failure
         to take  action  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  interfere  in any
         material  respect with the enforcement of any rights of the Insurer and
         the Indenture  Trustee under the agreements or instruments  relating to
         any of the Trust  Estate,  and the Issuer fails to cease such action or
         take the action  omitted,  as necessary to avoid such potential  effect
         within 10 days of the Issuer's knowledge of such potential effect;

(xiv)    (A) fail to pay any  assessment,  including  any tax  assessment,
         charge or fee with respect to the Trust Estate in excess of $100,000
         in the aggregate at any one time outstanding  and the Issuer shall
         not have  remedied such failure to pay within 30 days of the Issuer's
         knowledge of such failure,  or (B) fail to defend any action known to
         the Issuer,  if, in any such case, such failure to pay or defend may
         adversely affect the priority or enforceability  of the Lien over the
         Trust Estate created by this  Indenture,  provided that the Issuer
         shall not be required to (1) pay any  assessment,  including any tax
         assessment, charge or fee with  respect to the Trust  Estate if the
         same is being  contested  in good faith,  by  appropriate  proceedings
         diligently  pursued,  so long as such  nonpayment  will not, under
         applicable  law,  entitle any Person to place a Lien on or result in
         the forfeiture of the Trust Estate or any material portion thereof or
         (2) defend an action or actions known to the Issuer solely for civil
         damages not in excess of an aggregate amount of $100,000 or

(xv)     take any  action in  furtherance  of, or  indicating  its  consent  to,

         Indenture  will not  subject  the  Insurer to a risk of  preference  or
         recapture on amounts  previously  paid by the Issuer to  discharge  the
         Notes.

                  The  foregoing  provision  notwithstanding,  amounts  owing in

Issuer's  obligations  under this  Indenture  and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated  as though no deposit had  occurred  pursuant to Section  4.01 hereof
until such time as the Indenture  Trustee is permitted to apply all such cash or
Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof; provided,  however,

because of the reinstatement of its obligations,  the Issuer shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders who received such cash or Eligible  Investments  to
receive such payment from the Notes held by the Indenture Trustee.

         the  Issuer's  knowledge  of such Breach or receipt of notice  thereof,
         then an Event of Default  shall occur under this clause (l) as a result
         of such Breach if it is not cured in all  material  respects by the end
         of such 30-day period; provided, further, that so long as the Issuer is
         diligently  attempting to cure such failure,  such cure period shall be
         extended by an  additional  period as may be  required  but in no event
         more than an additional 30 days; or

(n)      the occurrence and continuation of an "Event of Default" under the
         Insurance Agreement.

SECTION 5.02      Insurer Defaults.  "Insurer Default" means the occurrence and
continuance of any of the following events:

(a) the Insurer shall have failed to make a payment required under the Policy in
accordance with its terms;

(b) the  Insurer  shall  have (i)  filed a  petition  or  commenced  any case or
proceeding  under any provision or chapter of the  Bankruptcy  Code or any other
similar federal or state law relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation,
liquidation or reorganization, (ii) made a general assignment for the benefit of
its  creditors,  or (iii) had an order for relief  entered  against it under the
Bankruptcy  Code  or  any  other  similar  federal  or  state  law  relating  to
insolvency, bankruptcy,  rehabilitation,  liquidation or reorganization which is
final and nonappealable; or

(c) a court of competent  jurisdiction,  the New York Department of Insurance or
other   competent   regulatory   authority   shall  have  entered  a  final  and
nonappealable  order,  judgment or decree (i)  appointing a custodian,  trustee,
agent or  receiver  for the  Insurer or for all or any  material  portion of its
property or (ii)  authorizing the taking of possession by a custodian,  trustee,
agent or  receiver of the  Insurer  (or the taking of  possession  of all or any
material portion of the property of the Insurer).

                  The Insurer shall  promptly  notify the Indenture  Trustee and
the Issuer in writing of any Insurer Default  described in subsection (b) or (c)
above,  and the  Indenture  Trustee  and the Issuer  shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any such events until receipt of written  notice of such event from
the Insurer or any other Person or Responsible  Officer of the Indenture Trustee
or  the  Issuer,  as  the  case  may  be,   responsible  for  administering  the
transactions herein described has actual knowledge of such event.

SECTION 5.03      [Reserved].

SECTION 5.04      [Reserved].

SECTION 5.05 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) At any time
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than an Event of
Default  specified  in clause (f),  (g) or (h) of Section  5.01,  the  Indenture
Trustee shall,  at the direction of the  Controlling  Party and on behalf of the
Holders of the Notes,  declare on written  notice to the Issuer,  the  Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, and
upon any such declaration,  such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest  thereon,  and other amounts  payable  hereunder,  shall  automatically
become  immediately due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments;
provided that such acceleration  shall not result in an acceleration of payments
under the Policy.  If an Event of Default specified in clause (f), (g) or (h) of
Section  5.01 shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing,  all unpaid  principal,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,  of all of the Notes, and
other amounts payable  hereunder,  shall  automatically  become due and payable;
provided that such acceleration  shall not result in an acceleration of payments
under the Policy.

(b) At any time after an Event of Default has  occurred  and the Notes have been
accelerated  pursuant to Section 5.05(a) above, the Indenture Trustee (or either
of the  Servicers  on  behalf of the  Indenture  Trustee)  shall at the  written
direction  of the  Controlling  Party  invest  or  dispose  of any or all of the
Collateral.

                  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be bound to  institute  any
Proceedings or take any other action unless (i) with respect to an  acceleration
of the Notes pursuant to this Section  5.05(a),  it shall have been so requested
by the  Controlling  Party and (ii) it shall  have  been  provided  security  or
indemnity to its reasonable satisfaction.

(c) At any time after such a declaration  of  acceleration  of maturity has been
made and  before a  judgment  or decree  for  payment  of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter  provided in this Article Five,
the Controlling Party, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
(if it is not the Controlling Party), may rescind and annul such declaration and
its consequences if:

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

(A)      all overdue installments of interest and principal on the Notes,

(B)      all  unpaid  taxes,  SPV  Operating  Expenses  and  other  sums paid or
         advanced  by  the  Indenture   Trustee  hereunder  and  the  reasonable
         compensation,  expenses,  disbursements  and advances of the  Indenture
         Trustee,  its agents and counsel and any due and unpaid Servicing Fees,
         and

(C)      all outstanding Reimbursements and the Premium owed to the Insurer; and

(ii)     the Indenture Trustee has determined,  after  consultation with counsel
         of its own  choosing  (which may  include  obtaining  such  Opinions of
         Counsel  as it  deems  necessary  or  advisable),  that all  Events  of
         Default,  other than the non-payment of the interest on or principal of
         Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured
         and the Controlling  Party, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee,
         has  agreed  with  such  determination  (which  agreement  shall not be
         unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed)  or waived as  provided in Section
         5.08.

                  No such  rescission and annulment  shall affect any subsequent
Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.06 Enforcement;  Recourse Limited to Collateral. (a) At any time after
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall,
pursuant to a Controlling Party Order,  institute Proceedings to seek or enforce
any remedy to protect and enforce any rights or powers of the Indenture  Trustee
hereunder  or any of the rights or powers of the  Insurer  and Holders of all of
the Notes.  Upon the  acceleration  of the Notes under Section 5.05 hereof,  the
Indenture  Trustee  shall,  if and as directed  pursuant to a Controlling  Party
Order, (i) institute  Proceedings to enforce the rights of the Indenture Trustee
with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, to foreclose upon
the  Collateral  or sell the  Collateral  under a decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction,  and (ii) may at its discretion take any other action of
a secured  party as  permitted  by the laws of the State of New York.  Except as
provided in Section 3.05 or otherwise in this Indenture,  the Indenture  Trustee
shall have no right of enforcement  against the Collateral  unless and until the
Notes have been accelerated as provided in Section 5.05 hereof.

                  In addition,  in the case of an Insurer Default, the Indenture
Trustee shall  institute  such  Proceedings or take such other action to enforce
the  obligations of the Insurer under the Policy as the Holders of a Majority of
the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes shall direct in writing.
No  Noteholder  shall be entitled to  institute  Proceedings  or take such other
action directly  against the Issuer,  the Insurer or the Collateral with respect
to the Notes,  whether to enforce the  Issuer's  obligations  hereunder or under
such Notes,  or against any  Collateral  securing  the Notes,  unless an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing and unless the Indenture Trustee,  having
become  bound so to act,  fails to institute  Proceedings  against the Issuer or
with respect to any such Collateral within a reasonable time and such failure is
continuing.

(b) At any time  after the Notes  then  Outstanding  have  become  payable  upon
acceleration in accordance with Section 5.05 hereof,  the Indenture Trustee may,
or  shall  at  the  written  direction  of the  Insurer  (so  long  as it is the
Controlling  Party),  from time to time sell,  in any manner  permitted  by law,
without  recourse,  at public or private sale, for Cash or Notes in lieu of Cash
as  provided  in  Section  5.06(c)(iv)  and for such price or prices and on such
terms (as to any or all of which manner,  prices and terms the Indenture Trustee
may rely  conclusively on the opinion of a financial  adviser  selected by it as
provided in Section 6.03),  with respect to an acceleration  pursuant to Section
5.05(a),  as  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  be  directed  in  writing  by  the
Controlling  Party,  all or any  part  of the  Collateral.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if such  prices or terms are such that a sale of the  Collateral  at
such prices or terms would result in sales  proceeds  that are  insufficient  to
satisfy  the  obligations  of the Issuer  under this  Indenture,  the  Indenture
Trustee shall not proceed with a sale of any portion of the  Collateral  without
the consent of the Insurer (so long as it is the Controlling Party), and, if the
Insurer  is no longer  the  Controlling  Party,  Holders  of a  Majority  of the
Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes.

(c) Upon any sale of all of the  Collateral  securing  the Notes as  provided in
this Indenture made either under the power of sale given under this Indenture or
under  judgment  or  decree  in any  judicial  proceedings  for  foreclosure  or
otherwise  for the  enforcement  of  this  Indenture,  the  following  shall  be
applicable:

(i)      The  Indenture  Trustee is hereby  irrevocably  appointed  the true and
         lawful  attorney of the Issuer to the extent  permitted  by law, in its
         name  and  stead,  to make  all  necessary  deeds,  bills  of sale  and
         instruments of assignment,  transfer or conveyance of the property thus
         sold; and for that purpose may make  instruments and  instructions  and
         may  substitute  one or more  Persons  with like power;  and the Issuer
         hereby  ratifies  and  confirms  all that its  said  attorney,  or such
         substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.

(ii)     If so  requested  by the  Indenture  Trustee or by any  purchaser,  the
         Issuer shall ratify and confirm any such sale, or transfer by executing
         and  delivering  to the  Indenture  Trustee  or to  such  purchaser  or
         purchasers all proper deeds, bills of sale,  instruments of assignment,
         conveyance  or transfer and releases as may be  designated  in any such
         request.

(iii)    To  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  any  Noteholder,  the
         Indenture  Trustee or the Insurer may bid for and  purchase  any of the
         Collateral,  and upon  compliance  with the  terms of sale,  may  hold,
         retain,  possess  and  dispose  of  such  Collateral  in his or its own
         absolute right without further accountability.

(iv)     Any  purchaser at any such sale may, in paying the  purchase  price for
         Collateral  securing  the Notes,  deliver any Notes in lieu of Cash and
         apply to the purchase  price the amount that upon  distribution  of the
         net proceeds of such sale, after application to the costs of the action
         and any other sums that the  Indenture  Trustee is authorized to deduct
         under  this  Indenture,  would  have  been  payable  on such  Notes  so
         delivered in respect of principal and interest.

(v)      The receipt of the purchase  price by the  Indenture  Trustee or of the
         officer making such sale under judicial  proceeding shall be sufficient
         discharge to any purchaser for his purchase  money,  and,  after paying
         such purchase money and receiving  such receipt,  such purchaser or its
         personal  representatives  or assigns  shall not be obligated to see to
         the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for
         any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

(vi)     Any such sale, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall operate to
         divest  the  Issuer of all  right,  title,  interest,  claim and demand
         whatsoever,  either  at law or in equity  or  otherwise,  in and to the
         Collateral  so sold  and  shall be a  perpetual  bar both at law and at
         equity or otherwise against the Issuer, and its successors and assigns,
         and any and all Persons  claiming or who may claim the Collateral  sold
         or  any  part  thereof  from,  through  or  under  the  Issuer,  or its
         successors and assigns.

(vii)    Any moneys collected by the Indenture Trustee upon any sale made either
         under the power of sale given by this  Indenture  or under  judgment or
         decree in any judicial proceedings for foreclosure or otherwise for the
         enforcement of this  Indenture  shall be applied as provided in Section
         5.07 hereof.

(d) In accordance  with the terms of this  Indenture,  at any time the Indenture
Trustee is  directed  to  institute  Proceedings  to  enforce  the Notes or this
Indenture with respect to such Notes, the following shall be applicable:

(i)      The Indenture  Trustee in its own name, and as trustee of an express
         trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions
         or other Proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise,  to recover
         judgment against the Issuer on such Notes for the whole amount due and
         unpaid,  and against the Insurer for any amounts  owing under the
         Policy and may  prosecute  any such claims or  Proceedings to judgment
         or final  decree  against  the Issuer or the  Insurer and collect the
         monies  adjudged or decreed to be payable in any manner  provided by
         law,  whether before or after or during the pendency of any
         Proceedings  for the enforcement of the Lien of this  Indenture,  or
         of any of the Indenture  Trustee's rights or the rights of the Insurer
         or the Holders of the Notes under this  Indenture  or the  Indenture
         Trustee's  rights  under the Policy,  and such power of the Indenture
         Trustee shall not be affected by any sale hereunder or by the exercise
         of any other right,  power or remedy for the enforcement of the
         provisions of this Indenture or for the foreclosure of the Lien hereof.

(ii)     Subject to Section 5.06(e) hereof,  in case of a sale of Collateral and
         of the  application  of the proceeds of such sale to the payment of the
         principal  of and  interest  on such  Notes  and  other  amounts  owing
         hereunder in  accordance  with the Priority of Payments,  the Indenture
         Trustee in its own name, and as trustee of an express  trust,  shall be
         entitled and empowered,  by any appropriate means, legal,  equitable or
         otherwise,  to enforce  payment  of, and to receive  all  amounts  then
         remaining due and unpaid to the Secured Parties, for the benefit of the
         Secured  Parties,  with, as  applicable,  interest at the rate borne by
         such  Notes  or  such  other  rate  as  applicable  thereto  under  the
         Transaction Documents.

(iii)    Except as required by  applicable  law or the terms of such judgment or
         final  decree,  no  recovery  of any  judgment  or final  decree by the
         Indenture  Trustee and no levy of any execution under any such judgment
         upon any of the Collateral  shall in any manner or to any extent affect
         the Lien of this Indenture upon any of such Collateral,  or any rights,
         powers  or  remedies  of the  Indenture  Trustee,  but all such  Liens,
         rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.

(iv)     The Indenture  Trustee in its own name, or as Indenture  Trustee of an
         express trust,  or as  attorney-in-fact  for Holders of Notes or the
         Insurer,  as the case may be, or in any one or more of such capacities
         (irrespective of whether the principal of the 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 on the Issuer for the  payment  of overdue  principal  or
         interest),  shall be entitled  and  empowered  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 and of the
         Insurer and the Holders of Notes,  as applicable  (whether such claims
         be based upon the  provisions  of such  Notes,  the Policy or of this
         Indenture),  allowed in any  receivership,  insolvency, bankruptcy,
         moratorium, liquidation,  readjustment,  reorganization or any other
         judicial or other Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Insurer,
         the creditors of the Issuer,  the Insurer or the  Collateral,  and any
         receiver,  assignee,  Indenture Trustee,  liquidator,  sequestrator
         (or other similar  official) in any such judicial or other Proceeding
         is hereby authorized to make such  payments to the Indenture  Trustee
         and, in the event that the  Indenture  Trustee shall consent to the
         making of such  payments  directly to the  Noteholders or the Insurer,
         to pay to the  Indenture  Trustee any amount due to it for the
         reasonable  compensation,  expenses,  disbursements  and  advances
         of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel. The Indenture Trustee
         is hereby  irrevocably  appointed  (and the successive  respective
         Holders of the Notes and the Insurer by taking and holding the same,
         shall be  conclusively  deemed to have so appointed the  Indenture
         Trustee) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact  of the respective
         Noteholders  and the Insurer with authority to (x) make and file in
         the respective  names of the  Noteholders  and the Insurer  (subject
         to deduction  from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed
         by any of the Noteholders and the Insurer  themselves to the extent
         permitted  hereby) any claim,  proof of claim or amendment  thereof,
         debt,  proof of debt or  amendment  thereof,  petition or other
         document  in any such  Proceeding  and to receive  payment of amounts
         distributable  on account  thereof,  (y) execute any such other papers
         and  documents and do and perform any and all such acts and things for
         and on behalf of such  Noteholders and the Insurer as may be necessary
         or advisable in order to have the respective  claims of the Indenture
         Trustee and of the  Noteholders and the Insurer against the Issuer or
         the Collateral, and (z) receive  payment of or on account of such
         claims and debt;  provided that nothing contained in this Indenture
         shall be deemed to give to the Indenture  Trustee any right to accept
         or consent to any plan of  reorganization  or otherwise by action
         of any  character  in any such  Proceeding  to waive or change  in any
         way any right of any  Noteholder  or the  Insurer.  Any monies
         collected by the Indenture Trustee under this subsection (d) shall be
         applied as provided in Section 5.07.

(v)      All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,  the
         Policy,  or under any of the Notes enforceable by the Indenture Trustee
         may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee to the extent permitted by law
         without  possession of any of such Notes or the  production  thereof at
         the trial or other Proceedings relative thereto.

(vi)     In case the Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right
         under  this  Indenture  by  suit,  foreclosure  or  otherwise  and such
         Proceedings  shall have been  discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
         or shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee,  then
         in every such case the Issuer,  the Insurer and the  Indenture  Trustee
         shall, to the extent  permitted by law, be restored without further act
         to their  respective  former  positions and rights  hereunder,  and all
         rights,  remedies and powers of the Indenture Trustee shall continue as
         though  no such  Proceedings  had  been  taken,  except  to the  extent
         determined in litigation adversely to the Indenture Trustee.

(e)  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of this  Indenture,  the Notes,  the
Insurance Agreement,  the Servicing Agreements or any other Transaction Document
or otherwise,  the liability of the Issuer to the Noteholders,  the Insurer, the
Servicers,  the  Initial  Purchasers,  and the  Indenture  Trustee  under  or in
relation to the Notes, this Indenture,  the Insurance  Agreement,  the Servicing
Agreements  or any other  Transaction  Document  or  otherwise,  is  limited  in
recourse to the  Collateral.  The  Collateral  having been applied in accordance
with the terms  hereof,  none of the Indenture  Trustee,  the  Noteholders,  the
Insurer,  the Initial Purchasers and the Servicers shall be entitled to take any
further  steps  against  the  Issuer to  recover  any sums due but still  unpaid
hereunder,  under the Notes or under any of the other  agreements  or  documents
described  in this  paragraph  (e),  all  claims in  respect  of which  shall be
extinguished.  In particular,  the Indenture Trustee agrees, and each Noteholder
by its  acceptance  of a Note and each other  Secured Party and the Servicers by
their  acceptance  of the  benefits  of this  Indenture  will be  deemed to have
agreed,  not to take any action or institute any  proceeding  against the Issuer
under any  Insolvency  Law  applicable to the Issuer;  provided that each of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, any other Secured Party and the Servicers
may become  parties to and  participate  in any  Proceeding  or action under any
Insolvency  Law applicable to the Issuer that is initiated by any Person that is
not an Affiliate of it.

SECTION 5.07  Application of Monies Collected by Indenture  Trustee.  Any monies
withdrawn,  collected or to be applied by the Indenture  Trustee with respect to
the Notes  pursuant to this Article  Five shall be  deposited in the  Collection
Account  (other than  proceeds of the Policy which shall be  deposited  into the
Policy Account) and, together with any other monies that may then be held by the
Indenture  Trustee under any of the  provisions of this Indenture as part of the
Collateral  with respect to the Notes,  shall be applied in accordance  with the
priorities set forth in Section 10.03.

SECTION 5.08 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay and Right to Marshaling. To
the extent it may  lawfully  do so, the Issuer for itself and for any Person who
may claim through or under it hereby:

(a) agrees that neither it nor any such Person will step up, plead,  claim or in
any manner  whatsoever  take  advantage of any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay,
extension or  redemption  laws,  now or hereafter in force in any  jurisdiction,
which may delay, prevent or otherwise hinder (i) the performance, enforcement or
foreclosure of this Indenture,  (ii) the sale of any of the Collateral, or (iii)
the putting of the  purchaser  or  purchasers  thereof into  possession  of such
property immediately after the sale thereof;

(b)  waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws;

(c)  waives and releases all rights to have the  Collateral  marshaled upon any
foreclosure,  sale or other  enforcement  of this Indenture; and

(d) consents and agrees that,  subject to the terms of this  Indenture,  all the
Collateral may at any such sale be sold by the Indenture Trustee as an entirety.

SECTION 5.09 Remedies Cumulative;  Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. To the extent
permitted by law,  every remedy given  hereunder to the Indenture  Trustee,  the
Insurer or to any of the Noteholders  shall not be exclusive of any other remedy
or remedies,  and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every
statute,  law,  equity or  otherwise.  Subject  to the  terms of this  Indenture
specifically  including the rights of the Insurer as Controlling  Party (so long
as it is the  Controlling  Party) to direct actions of the Indenture  Trustee in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture,  the Indenture Trustee may exercise
all or any of the powers,  rights or remedies given to it hereunder or which may
be now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise,  in its absolute
discretion.  No course of  dealing  between  the  Issuer,  the  Insurer  and the
Indenture  Trustee or the  Noteholders or any delay or omission of the Indenture
Trustee,  the Insurer or of the  Noteholders  to exercise  any right,  remedy or
power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any right, remedy or power
or shall be  construed  to be a waiver of any such  Event of  Default  or of any
right  of  the  Indenture  Trustee,   the  Insurer  or  of  the  Noteholders  or
acquiescence  therein,  and every right,  remedy and power given by this Article
Five to the Indenture  Trustee,  the Insurer or to the  Noteholders  may, to the
extent  permitted by law, be exercised  from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or by the Noteholders.

SECTION 5.10 Control by the Insurer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture  (but subject,  for the avoidance of any doubt,  to the  provisions of
Sections 5.06(e) and 12.03 hereof),  the Controlling Party (so long as it is the
Insurer) shall have the right to cause the  institution of, and direct the time,
method and place of,  conducting any Proceeding for any remedy  available to the
Indenture  Trustee  and to direct the  exercise of any trust,  right,  remedy or
power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that:

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

(b) the  Indenture  Trustee  may take any  other  action  deemed  proper  by the
Indenture  Trustee  that  is  not  inconsistent  with  such  direction  or  this
Indenture;  provided,  however,  that,  subject to Section  6.01,  the Indenture
Trustee  need  not  take any  action  that it  determines  might  involve  it in
liability  (unless the  Indenture  Trustee has received  satisfactory  indemnity
against such liability as set forth below); and

(c) the Indenture  Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity  satisfactory
to it.

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

SECTION  6.01  Certain  Duties  and  Responsibilities.  (a)  Except  during  the
continuance of an Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee  undertakes to perform such duties and  obligations and only such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture,  and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture
Trustee.

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

(c) No provision of this  Indenture  shall be construed to relieve the Indenture
Trustee from liability for its own negligent  action,  its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that, subject to Section 6.01(b):

(i)      this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
         subsection (a) of this Section 6.01;

(ii)     the Indenture  Trustee may consult with counsel of its own choosing and
         the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel  shall be full and
         complete  authorization  and protection in respect of any action taken,
         suffered  or omitted  by it  hereunder  in good  faith and in  reliance
         thereon;

(iii)    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;  provided,  however,  that in the case
         of any such  certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
         specifically  required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee,  the
         Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
         determine  whether or not they conform to the  requirements of this
         Indenture (but need not verify the accuracy of the contents  thereof)
         and shall promptly notify the party  delivering the same if such
         certificate or opinion  does not  conform.  If a corrected  form shall
         not have been  delivered to the  Indenture  Trustee  within 30 days
         after such notice from the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
         shall so notify the Insurer and the Noteholders;

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

(v)      the  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be liable with respect to any action
         taken or omitted  to be taken by it in good  faith with  respect to the
         method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy  available
         to the Indenture  Trustee,  or with respect to exercising  any trust or
         power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture;

(vi)     no provision  of this  Indenture  shall be  construed as requiring  the
         Indenture  Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or  otherwise  incur
         any  liability,  loss or risk in the  performance  of any of its duties
         hereunder,  financial  or  otherwise,  or in the exercise of any of its
         rights or powers,  if it shall have  reasonable  grounds for  believing
         that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
         liability is not reasonably assured to it;

(vii)    the Indenture  Trustee shall not be liable or responsible  for any loss
         resulting from any investment of monies held by it under this Indenture
         invested in  accordance  with the terms  hereof or  resulting  from the
         redemption or sale of any investment as herein authorized; and

(viii)   for all purposes of this Indenture,  the Indenture Trustee shall not be
         deemed  to have  knowledge  of an Event  of  Default,  nor  shall it be
         obligated to exercise any remedies with respect  thereto,  unless (A) a
         Responsible   Officer  of  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  have  actual
         knowledge  thereof or (B) written notice of such Event of Default shall
         have been  received by a Responsible  Officer of the Indenture  Trustee
         from the Issuer, the Insurer or from the Holders of greater than 50% in
         Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal Amount of the Notes then Outstanding,
         provided  that,  with  respect  to an Event of  Default  under  Section
         5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) hereof,  such written notice may be received
         from any individual Holder of a Note.

(d)  Whether or not therein  expressly  so  provided,  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
Article Six.

(e) Whenever in the  administration  of the  provisions  of this  Indenture  the
Trustee  shall  deem it  necessary  or  desirable  that a matter  be  proved  or
established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder,  such
matter  (unless  other  evidence  in  respect  thereof  be  herein  specifically
prescribed)  may, in the absence of  negligence  or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee,  be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Issuer Order
or Controlling Party Order as the case may be, delivered to the Trustee and such
Issuer Order or Controlling  Party Order,  as the case may be, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken,  suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of
this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall require that any agent appointed hereunder agree
to be bound by the terms of this  Indenture  with  respect to any  actions to be
taken outside of the United States.

SECTION  6.02  Notice  of  Default.  Promptly  (and in no event  later  than two
Business  Days)  after  the  Indenture  Trustee  becomes  actually  aware of the
occurrence  of any  Default or Event of Default,  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall
notify the  Insurer,  the Issuer,  the Rating  Agencies and all  Noteholders  in
accordance with Section 12.04 hereof of the occurrence of such Event of Default,
unless  such  Default  or Event of  Default  shall  have been cured or waived in
accordance  with the terms hereof.  If any  securities  exchange with respect to
which any of the Notes may be listed so requires,  the  Indenture  Trustee shall
publish such notice in accordance  with such  requirements  from funds available
for such purpose in accordance with Section 10.03.

SECTION 6.03  Certain Rights of Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section 6.01
              hereof:

(a) the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting
or  refraining  from  acting  upon  any  resolution,   certificate,   statement,
instrument,  opinion, report, notice, request, direction,  consent, order, bond,
note or other paper or document (including facsimile  transmission)  believed by
it to be genuine and to have been  signed or  presented  by the proper  party or
parties and the Indenture  Trustee shall have no  responsibility to ascertain or
confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;

(b) any  request  of the Issuer  shall be  sufficiently  evidenced  by an Issuer
Request or Issuer Order;

(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall
(i) deem it desirable  that a matter be proved or  established  prior to taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder,  the Indenture Trustee (unless other
evidence be herein specifically  prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, rely conclusively upon an Officers'  Certificate or Opinion of Counsel
or (ii) be required to determine the value of any collateral or funds  hereunder
or the cash flows projected to be received therefrom, the Indenture Trustee may,
in the  absence  of bad faith or its  part,  rely  conclusively  on  reports  of
nationally recognized accounting firms or other persons qualified to provide the
information  required  to  make  such  determination,  including  nationally  or
internationally  recognized  dealers, of the type of collateral being valued and
securities quotation services;

(d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder,  the
Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisors or accountants of
its own choosing and the advice of such counsel  (including any opinion provided
by such counsel),  financial  advisors or accountants shall be full and complete
authorization  and  protection  in respect of any action  taken or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) the  Indenture  Trustee  shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights  or powers  vested in it by this  Indenture  or to honor the  request  or
direction  of any of the  Noteholders,  the  Controlling  Party or either of the
Servicers  pursuant to this  Indenture  unless such  request or  direction is in
writing and such parties shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or
indemnity  satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against all costs, expenses and
liabilities  which might  reasonably be incurred by it in  compliance  with such
request or direction;  provided,  however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have
no liability  for failing to take any action or to exercise any of the rights or
powers under this  Indenture  (other than any action or exercise in the ordinary
course of  performing  its services  under this  Indenture) if any such required
indemnity or security is not provided with respect to such action or exercise;

(f) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation  into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution,  certificate,  statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other
paper  documents,  but the  Indenture  Trustee,  upon  written  direction of the
Insurer or Noteholders of more than 50% of the Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal
Amount of the Notes,  shall make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed;

(g) 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;  provided,  however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee shall have
received  the consent of the  Controlling  Party prior to such  appointment  the
Indenture  Trustee shall not be responsible  for any misconduct or negligence on
the part of any agent  appointed,  or  attorney  appointed,  with due care by it
hereunder.  The Insurer hereby  consents to the appointment by the Issuer of the
Indenture Trustee, as paying agent;

(h) to the extent  permitted by applicable law, the Indenture  Trustee shall not
be  required  to give any bond or surety in  respect  of the  execution  of this
Indenture or otherwise; and

(i) the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any
matter  unless a  Responsible  Officer  assigned to and working in the Indenture
Trustee's  corporate  trust  department has actual  knowledge  thereof or unless
written or facsimile notice thereof is received by the Indenture  Trustee at the
Corporate  Trust  Office and such notice  references  the Notes  generally,  the
Issuer or this  Indenture.  Whenever  reference is made in this  Indenture to an
Event of Default such reference  shall,  insofar as determining any liability on
the part of the Indenture Trustee is concerned, be construed to refer only to an
Event of Default of which the Indenture  Trustee is deemed to have  knowledge in
accordance with this paragraph.

SECTION 6.04 Not  Responsible  for  Recitals or Issuance of Notes.  The recitals
contained in this Indenture and in the Notes (except for the Indenture Trustee's
certificate of  authentication)  shall be taken as statements of the Issuer, and
the Indenture  Trustee assumes no responsibility of the correctness of the same.
The Indenture  Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Notes or any offering  memorandum related thereto or
the Trust Estate, or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer's direction
under any provision  hereof or the application by the Issuer of the Notes or the
proceeds thereof.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.05 May Hold Notes. The Indenture  Trustee may, subject to restrictions
otherwise applicable to the Notes, become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, may
otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it
would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.

SECTION  6.06  Money  Held in Trust.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed  upon with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on
investments  which are deposits in or  certificates  of deposit of the Indenture
Trustee in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by
the Indenture Trustee on Eligible  Investments.  The Indenture Trustee shall not
be held  responsible for nor be required to reimburse any Person for any loss of
principal  or  interest  on any amounts  invested  in  Eligible  Investments  in
accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 6.07  Compensation  and  Reimbursement.  (a) The Issuer shall pay to the
Indenture  Trustee  from  time to  time  compensation  for  all of its  services
rendered  in  accordance  with  the  terms  and  conditions  hereof  as has been
separately  agreed to by the Issuer and the  Indenture  Trustee.  The  Indenture
Trustee's compensation hereunder shall not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express  trust.  The Issuer  shall  reimburse  the  Indenture
Trustee upon  request for all  reasonable  disbursements,  expenses and advances
incurred or made by it hereunder.  Such expenses shall include the compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Indenture Trustee's agents and counsel.

(b) When the Indenture  Trustee  incurs  expenses or renders  services  after an
Event of Default occurs, the expenses and the compensation for such services are
intended to constitute  expenses of  administration  under any Insolvency Law to
the extent permissible thereunder.

(in its individual capacity and as Indenture Trustee), its directors,  officers,
employees and agents (collectively,  the "Indemnitees") from and against any and
all actions, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) relating to or
arising out of or in  connection  with actions or omissions  from actions in any
capacity hereunder,  except actions,  claims, damages,  liabilities,  judgments,
losses,  costs,  charges  and  expenses  caused  by the  negligence  or  willful
misconduct of the  Indenture  Trustee,  its  directors,  officers,  employees or
agents.  The  Indemnitees  shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Issuer for (i) any error  resulting from use of or reliance
on a source or  publication  required to be used under the terms of the Notes or
this Indenture, (ii) any error of judgment made without negligence, bad faith or
willful  misconduct  by a  Responsible  Officer or officers or  employees of the

including  any loss of  principal,  or (iv) any tax  liability  in  relation  to
Eligible  Investments or any interest  thereon or any income on any of the Trust
Estate including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of
liability in the premises. The Indemnitees shall incur no liability and shall be
indemnified,  protected  and held  harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of,
any actions  taken,  omitted to be taken or  suffered to be taken in  accordance
with this Indenture without  negligence,  bad faith or willful misconduct by the
Indenture  Trustee in reliance  upon (i) a written  Opinion of  Counsel,  (ii) a
written  instruction  or Officers'  Certificate  from the Issuer,  (iii) written
instruction or Controlling Party Order from the Controlling  Party, (iv) written
instruction  of  the  American  Servicer  or  (v)  written  instructions  of the
Noteholders of more than 50% of the Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal  Amount of
the Notes.

(d) The  obligations  of the Issuer under this Section  6.07 to  compensate  the
Indenture  Trustee and to pay,  indemnify or reimburse the Indenture Trustee and
any predecessor  Indenture Trustee for actions,  claims,  damages,  liabilities,
judgments,   losses,   costs  and  charges  and  expenses,   shall  survive  the
satisfaction  and discharge of this  Indenture or the  resignation or removal of
the Indenture Trustee,  as provided hereunder but are limited in recourse to the
Collateral.  Amounts payable and reimbursable to the Indenture  Trustee pursuant
to this  Section  6.07  shall  constitute  Trustee  Fees  and  shall  be paid or
reimbursed  to the Indenture  Trustee  solely from the amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(e)  Compensation  payable to a  successor  Indenture  Trustee  appointed  under
Section 6.08 of this  Indenture  shall be subject to the Priority of Payments to
the same extent and with the same priority as the Indenture Trustee Fees.

SECTION  6.08  Resignation  and  Removal;   Appointment  of  Successor.  (a)  No
resignation  or  removal  of  the  Indenture  Trustee  and no  appointment  of a
successor  Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective
until the  acceptance of appointment  by the successor  Indenture  Trustee under
Section 6.09 hereof.

(b) The Indenture  Trustee may resign at any time by (i) giving  written  notice
thereof  to the  Noteholders,  the Issuer and the  Insurer  in  accordance  with
Section  12.04  hereof and (ii)  obtaining  the  written  consent of the Insurer
(unless the Insurer is no longer the Controlling Party), which consent shall not
be  withheld  if the  Indenture  Trustee has  identified  a successor  Indenture
Trustee  meeting  the  requirements  of this  Section  6.08 which is  reasonably
acceptable to the Insurer and who is willing to accept the appointment described
below for a market rate fee. No  resignation  of the Indenture  Trustee shall be
effected until a successor is appointed in accordance with this Section 6.08.

(c) Upon receiving such notice of resignation,  the Issuer shall promptly,  with
the  prior  written  consent  of the  Insurer  (so  long as the  Insurer  is the
Controlling Party and is continuing),  appoint a successor  Indenture Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate,  executed by Authorized Officers of the Issuer
on behalf of the Issuer,  one  original  copy of which shall be delivered to the
Indenture  Trustee so resigning,  one original  copy to the successor  Indenture
Trustee  and one  original  copy to the  Insurer,  together  with notice to each
Noteholder  in  accordance  with  Section  12.04  hereof (at the  expense of the
Issuer).

(d) The Indenture  Trustee may be removed at any time upon prior written  notice
by the  Issuer  or by  Noteholders  holding  more  than  50%  of  the  Aggregate
Outstanding  Principal  Amount of the Notes (in each  case,  with the  Insurer's
prior  written  consent  if it is  the  Controlling  Party),  delivered  to  the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer.

(e)      If at any time:

(i)      the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  fail to resign  after  written  request
         therefor by the Issuer, the Insurer or by Noteholders holding more than
         50% of the Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal  Amount of the Notes (with
         the Insurer's prior written consent); or

(ii)     the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  become  incapable of acting or shall be
         adjudged a bankrupt or  insolvent  or a receiver or  liquidator  of the
         Indenture  Trustee or of its property  shall be appointed or any public
         officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its
         property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,  conservation or
         liquidation;

then, in any such case, (x) the Issuer, by Issuer Order, (y) the Holders of more
than 50% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes may with the
consent  of the  Insurer  (so long as it is the  Controlling  Party)  or (z) the
Insurer if it is the Controlling  Party may, at its sole discretion,  remove the
Indenture  Trustee.  In the event that the  Issuer  shall  remove the  Indenture
Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.08(e), the Issuer shall, promptly, and
in any event within three days thereof,  notify each  Noteholder of such removal
in accordance with Section 12.04.

(f) If the Indenture  Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the  Indenture  Trustee for any cause,
the Issuer,  upon written direction from the Insurer or the Holders of more than
50% of the  Aggregate  Outstanding  Principal  Amount  of the  Notes  (with  the
Insurer's prior written consent if it is the Controlling Party),  shall promptly
appoint a successor  Indenture Trustee.  If no successor Indenture Trustee shall
have been appointed  pursuant to Section  6.08(c) hereof and shall have accepted
appointment  in the manner  hereinafter  provided  within 90 days, the Indenture
Trustee,  the Insurer or any Noteholder  may, on behalf of itself and all others
similarly  situated,  petition  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(g)  The  Indenture  Trustee  hereunder  shall  at all  times  be a  corporation
organized and doing  business  under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined  capital and surplus of at least  $150,000,000  and subject to
supervision or  examination  by federal or state  authority and be acceptable to
the  Insurer  (so long as it is the  Controlling  Party)  and have an  actual or
implied  short-term  debt of at least  "P-1" by Moody's  and "A-1" by Standard &
Poor's  and an actual or implied  long-term  debt  rating of at least  "Baa1" by
Moody's and "BBB+" by Standard & Poor's.  If such corporation  publishes reports
of condition at least  annually,  pursuant to law or to the  requirements of the
aforesaid  supervising  or  examining  authority,  then for the  purpose of this
Section 6.08(g),  the combined capital and surplus of such corporation  shall be
deemed to be its  combined  capital  and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of  condition so  published.  In case at any time the  Indenture  Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this Section
6.08(g),  the Indenture Trustee shall resign  immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Sections 6.08(b)(i) and 6.08(b)(ii) hereof.

(h) The successor Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice of each resignation
and each removal of the Indenture  Trustee and each  appointment  of a successor
Indenture  Trustee by notifying  the Insurer and the  Noteholders  in accordance
with Section 12.04  hereof.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Indenture Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

(i) As long as no Insurer  Default  shall have occurred and be  continuing,  the
Insurer may at any time require the Issuer to remove the  Indenture  Trustee if,
(i) the Insurer determines that reasonable cause exists for such removal or (ii)
in the opinion of independent  counsel of recognized standing (A) any payment of
interest or  principal or premium in respect of any of the  Collateral  would be
subject  to  withholding  or  deduction  for or on  account  of  taxes,  (B) the
Indenture Trustee would not be entitled to receive a gross-up in respect of such
payment,  and (C) such withholding or deduction could be avoided by appointing a
successor  Indenture  Trustee;  provided that in the case of subsection (ii) the
Issuer  shall not be required to remove the  Indenture  Trustee if the Issuer or
the Indenture  Trustee takes other action to avoid such withholding or deduction
which is reasonably  satisfactory to the Insurer (including the appointment of a
co-Indenture  Trustee).  The Insurer may exercise its rights hereunder by giving
written  notice of such  exercise to the  Indenture  Trustee and the Issuer,  in
which case the Issuer shall promptly remove the Indenture  Trustee and appoint a
successor  thereto  with the  consent of the Insurer by written  instrument,  in
duplicate,  executed upon an Issuer Order, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered  to the  Indenture  Trustee  and one copy to the  successor  Indenture
Trustee.

SECTION  6.09  Acceptance  of  Appointment  by  Successor.  (a) Every  successor
Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,  acknowledge and deliver to
the Issuer, the Insurer and the retiring Indenture Trustee an instrument in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer accepting such appointment,
and thereupon,  upon receipt by such retiring or removed Indenture  Trustee,  of
all sums due under Section 6.07 or 7.02 hereof,  as applicable,  the resignation
or removal of the retiring  Indenture  Trustee  shall become  effective and such
successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,  shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the
retiring Indenture  Trustee;  but, on written request of the Issuer, the Insurer
or the successor Indenture Trustee,  such retiring Indenture Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges then unpaid,  execute and deliver an  instrument  in form
and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to such successor  Indenture Trustee and
the Insurer  transferring  to such successor  Indenture  Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the  retiring  Indenture  Trustee,  and shall duly  assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor  Indenture Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Indenture Trustee  hereunder.  Upon written request of any
such successor  Indenture Trustee,  the Issuer and the Insurer shall execute any
and all instruments  reasonably necessary to more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor  Indenture Trustee all such rights,  powers and
trusts.

(b) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor  Indenture Trustee as provided
in  this  Section  6.09,  the  successor  Indenture  Trustee  shall  notify  the
Noteholders in accordance with Section 12.04 hereof.

SECTION 6.10 Merger,  Conversion,  Consolidation  or  Succession  to Business of
Indenture  Trustee.  Any  corporation  into which the  Indenture  Trustee may be
merged or converted  or with which it may be  consolidated,  or any  corporation
resulting from any merger,  conversion or  consolidation  to which the Indenture
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation  succeeding to all or substantially
all of the  corporate  trust  business of the  Indenture  Trustee,  shall be the
successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,  provided
that  written  notice  of such  merger,  conversion  or  consolidation  shall be
provided  to the  Issuer,  the Insurer  and the Rating  Agencies  and  provided,

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                             SUBSTITUTION OF DEBTOR

SECTION 11.01 Conditions to Substitution.  The Indenture Trustee shall,  without
the consent of the Noteholders,  agree with the Issuer and the Insurer (if it is
the  Controlling  Party) to the  substitution  in place of the Issuer (or of any
previously  substituted Person under this Section),  as the debtor in respect of
this Indenture,  the Insurance Agreement and the Notes, of any other Person (the
"Substituted  Person") in accordance with the provisions of this Article Eleven.
The Indenture  Trustee shall agree with the Issuer and the Insurer (if it is the
Controlling  Party)  as to such  substitution,  and such  substitution  shall be
effected if the Insurer so directs in a  Controlling  Party Order (so long as it
is the Controlling  Party),  in the event that the Insurer  reasonably  believes
that such  substitution  would have the result of avoiding the imposition of, or
the  lessening of, any present or future tax  (including  but not limited to any
withholding tax),  assessment or other  governmental  charge on the Issuer,  the
Collateral or the Notes; provided,  however, that any such substitution shall be
effected only upon confirmation by each Rating Agency that such action would not
have an adverse  effect upon the ratings of the Notes and upon  satisfaction  of
the Insurer  Condition.  The  Indenture  Trustee may also  receive an Opinion of
Counsel, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. Any substitution
pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be subject to the preconditions that:

(a)      an indenture is executed or some other form of  undertaking is given by
         the  Substituted  Person to the Indenture  Trustee,  the Issuer and the
         Insurer in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and
         the Insurer to be bound by the terms  hereof and by the  provisions  of
         the Notes and the other Transaction  Documents to which the Issuer is a
         party (with any  consequential  amendments which may be appropriate) as
         fully as if the  Substituted  Person had been a party to this Indenture
         and the other Transaction  Documents to which the Issuer is a party and
         named  herein and in the Notes as the debtor in respect of the Notes in
         place  of  the  Issuer  (or  such  previously   Substituted  Person  as
         aforesaid);

(b)      the Substituted  Person acquires the Issuer's rights to the Collateral,
         acknowledges the security  interest created in respect thereof pursuant
         to this Indenture and takes all such action as the Indenture Trustee or
         the Insurer may require so that the Collateral is subject to a security
         interest in all respects corresponding to the security interest created
         by the Issuer hereunder;

(c)      (without  prejudice to the  generality of the  foregoing  provisions of
         this Section) if the Substituted  Person is incorporated,  domiciled or
         resident in a jurisdiction  or  jurisdictions  other than Delaware,  an
         undertaking  or covenant shall be given in terms  corresponding  to the
         provisions of Section 2.11 hereof;

(d)      the purposes and powers of the Substituted Person will be comparably
         limited to those of the Issuer;

(e)      the Indenture  Trustee and the Insurer shall be satisfied  that (A) all
         governmental and regulatory  approvals and consents necessary for or in
         connection  with  the  assumption  by  the  Substituted  Person  of the
         obligations  hereunder  and under  the Notes and the other  Transaction
         Documents  to which the  Issuer is a party in place of the  Issuer  (or
         such previously  Substituted Person as aforesaid) and for the Policy to
         continue  to be in all  respects  in full  force and  effect  have been
         obtained  and  (B)  such  approvals  and  consents  are at the  time of
         substitution in full force and effect; and

(f)      the Issuer (or any  previously  Substituted  Person under this Section)
         and/or  the  Controlling  Party and the  Substituted  Person  shall (A)
         execute such other deeds,  documents  and  instruments  (if any) as the
         Indenture  Trustee or the Insurer may reasonably  require in order that
         such substitution be fully effective and that the Policy remain in full
         force and effect following such substitution,  and (B) comply with such
         other  requirements in the interests of the Noteholders and the Insurer
         as the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer may reasonably direct.

SECTION 11.02 No Regard to Consequences for Individual  Holders.  In the case of
any substitution in accordance with Section 11.01, the Indenture  Trustee may in
its  absolute  discretion  agree with the Issuer and the  Insurer,  without  the
consent of the  Noteholders,  as to a change in the law expressed to govern this
Indenture  and the Notes;  provided that such change would not in the opinion of
the  Indenture  Trustee  be  materially  prejudicial  to  the  interests  of the
Noteholders,  including the  maintenance of the then  applicable  ratings on the
Notes or to the interests of the Indenture  Trustee (based upon, if requested by
the  Indenture  Trustee,  an  Officer's  Certificate  and an  Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory  to  the  Indenture  Trustee).  In  connection  with  any  proposed
substitution  as aforesaid,  the Indenture  Trustee shall not have regard to the
consequences  of such  substitution  for individual  Noteholders  resulting from
their being for any purpose  domiciled or resident  in, or  otherwise  connected
with,  or  subject to the  jurisdiction  of, any  particular  state,  country or
territory.  No Noteholder  shall, in connection with any such  substitution,  be
entitled to claim from the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee,  or the Insurer any
indemnification  or  payment  in  respect  of any tax  consequences  of any such
substitution upon individual  Noteholders,  except to the extent provided for in
subsection (c) of Section 11.01.

SECTION  11.03 Effect of  Substitution.  Upon the execution of the documents and
compliance  with the  requirements  set forth in Sections  11.01 and 11.02,  the
Substituted  Person shall be deemed to be named in this Indenture,  in the Notes
and in the other  Transaction  Documents  to which the  Issuer is a party as the
debtor in place of the Issuer (or any previously  Substituted  Person under this
Article),  and this  Indenture  and the Notes  shall  thereupon  be deemed to be
amended  in  such  manner  as  shall  be   necessary  to  give  effect  to  such
substitution. Compliance with the requirements of Sections 11.01 and 11.02 shall
operate  to  release  the  Issuer  (or such  previously  Substituted  Person  as
aforesaid)  from all of its  obligations  as  debtor  in  respect  of the  Notes
hereunder  but without  prejudice to the  obligations  of the Insurer  under the
Policy.  Not later than 10 days after the execution of any such  undertaking and
such other  documents and  instruments as aforesaid and compliance with the said
requirements of the Indenture  Trustee,  the Issuer shall,  unless the Indenture
Trustee agrees  otherwise,  give notice thereof to the Noteholders in accordance
with Section 12.04.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 12.01 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.  (a) 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.

(b) Any  Officer's  Certificate  may be based,  insofar  as it  relates to legal
matters,  upon an Opinion of Counsel or a certificate of or  representations  by
such legal counsel,  unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or  representations
with respect to the matters upon which his  certificate  or opinion is based are
erroneous.  Any such  certificate  of an  Authorized  Officer  of the  Issuer or
Opinion of Counsel or  certificate of or  representations  by such legal counsel
may be based,  insofar as it relates to factual  matters,  upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer or any other Person,  stating that
the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Issuer or such other  Person,  unless such  Authorized  Officer of the Issuer or
counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as
it  relates  to  factual   matters,   upon  a  certificate  or  opinion  of,  or
representations  by, an  Authorized  Officer  of the  Issuer,  stating  that the
information  with  respect to such matters is in the  possession  of the Issuer,
unless such counsel  knows that the  certificate  or opinion or  representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c)  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.
