among ARCEL FINANCE LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of the Cayman
Islands (the "Issuer"), ARACRUZ TRADING S.A., a corporation organized under the
laws of Panama (the "Company"), as seller (in such capacity and with any other
Seller named by the Parent, the "Seller") and, as servicer (in such capacity,
the "Servicer"), ARACRUZ CELULOSE S.A., a corporation organized under the laws
of Brazil (the "Parent"), THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York corporation
authorized to engage in banking, as trustee, registrar, transfer agent and
principal paying agent (the "Trustee"), THE BANK OF NEW YORK, LONDON BRANCH, as
London paying agent (the "London Paying Agent"), and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, an indirect United States subsidiary of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as
Collection Agent (the "Collection Agent").

     This Master Indenture may be supplemented at any time and from time to time
by a supplemental indenture (a "Supplemental Indenture", and any Supplemental
Indenture, as amended, together with this Master Indenture and amendments hereof
collectively referred to as the "Indenture"). If a conflict exists between the
terms and provisions of this Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture,
the terms and provisions of the Supplemental Indenture shall be controlling.

     Section 1. General.

     (a) The Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer and the Parent deem it necessary
that the Issuer issue from time to time for its lawful purposes
export-collateralized senior secured debt securities (the "Notes") and each of
the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer and the Parent has duly authorized the
execution and delivery of this Master Indenture to provide for the issuance of
Notes, unlimited as to principal amount, to bear such rates of interest, to
mature at such time or times, to be issued in one or more series (each, a
"Series") and to have such other provisions as shall be fixed as hereinafter
provided. The issuance of a Series of Notes may occur only if the conditions set
forth in Section 30 hereto shall have been met.

     (b) The Issuer will grant to the Trustee, for the benefit of all registered
holders of Notes of any Series (collectively, the "Noteholders" and each,
individually, a "Noteholder") and the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any
Series of Notes pursuant to the Master Security Agreement dated as of the date
hereof, as amended, (the "Master Security Agreement") and one Security
Supplement to the Master Security Agreement with respect to each Series of
Notes, as amended, (each, a "Security Supplement" and, collectively with the
Master Security Agreement, the "Security Agreement"), a first priority security
interest in the rights of the Issuer to all of the Collateral.

     (c) The Notes will be payable only out of the Collateral. The Notes are not
obligations of and are not guaranteed by the Seller or the Parent, but the
holders thereof and the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes
shall have the benefit of the Seller's obligation to make Seller Advances, the
unconditional and irrevocable guarantee issued by the Parent in favor of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer, if any, with
respect to any Series of Notes of the punctual performance of all of the
Seller's obligations under each of the Transaction Documents and Note Documents,
each, as amended, to which the Seller

<PAGE>

is a party (the "Parent Guarantee") and any Enhancement Agreement with respect
to any Series of Notes.

     (d) The Notes shall be offered and sold (i) outside the United States to
non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Rule 903 of Regulation
S ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act, or (ii) within the United States
(A) to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") as defined in Rule 144A ("Rule
144A") under the Securities Act or (B) to a limited number of institutional
investors that qualify as "accredited investors" ("Institutional Accredited
Investors") as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) and (7) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act.

     The Notes shall be represented by a Regulation S Global Note, a Restricted
Global Note and/or a Restricted Definitive Note, as the case may be. Notes
offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S will be represented by one or more
permanent global Notes in definitive, fully-registered form without interest
coupons, substantially in the form of Note attached as a schedule to the
Supplemental Indenture for the related Series of Notes, with such legends as may
be applicable thereto, which shall be deposited with the Trustee, at its
principal corporate trust office in The City of New York, as custodian for The
Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary"), and registered in the name of a
nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided, for credit to the respective accounts of
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (or to such other accounts as they may
direct). Such Global Note shall be referred to herein as the "Regulation S
Global Note." The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes
may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, or the Depositary or
its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.

     Prior to the 40th day after the later of the completion of the offering and
the closing date for the related Series of Notes, beneficial interests in a
Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg, unless delivery is made through an interest in a Restricted Global
Note or a Restricted Definitive Note in accordance with the certification
requirements set forth therein and in this Master Indenture.

     Notes sold within the United States ("Restricted Notes") will be sold
initially and may be resold only to (i) QIBs and (ii) Institutional Accredited
Investors. Restricted Notes offered and sold to QIBs shall be represented by one
or more permanent Global Notes in definitive fullyregistered form without
interest coupons (each, a "Restricted Global Note" and, together with the
Regulation S Global Notes, collectively, the "Global Notes") substantially in
the form of Note attached as a schedule to the Supplemental Indenture for the
related Series of Notes, with such legends as may be applicable thereto, which
shall be deposited with the Trustee, at its New York office, as custodian for
the Depositary, and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary, duly
executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.
The principal amount of a Restricted Global Note may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depositary, or the Depositary or the Depositary's nominee, as
the case may be, as hereinafter provided. Notes sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors will be delivered only in fully registered, definitive form
("Restricted Definitive Notes").

     Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 5(a)(i) hereof, any holder
of a Global Note may exchange all or any part of such Global Note for Restricted
Definitive Notes in the same aggregate principal amount. The Restricted
Definitive Notes shall be authenticated by the Trustee and shall be
substantially in the applicable form attached as a schedule to the Supplemental
Indenture for the related Series of Notes, and Restricted Definitive Notes
issued with respect to a Regulation S Global Note hereinafter shall be referred
to as "Regulation S Definitive Notes" and Restricted Definitive Notes issued
with respect to a Restricted Global Note hereinafter shall be referred to as
"Restricted Definitive Notes." Both the Global Notes and the Restricted
Definitive Notes for each Series of Notes shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set out as part of a schedule attached as a schedule to the
Supplemental Indenture for the related Series of Notes (the "Terms and
Conditions"). The Master Security Agreement and each Security Supplement shall
be substantially in the form set out in Schedule II hereto. All references
herein to this Master Indenture shall include the Notes, including the Terms and
Conditions.

the conditions herein set forth (such bank and any duly qualified or appointed
successor thereto in such capacities as trustee, registrar, transfer agent and
principal paying agent is herein called the "Trustee" and, where referred to

"London Paying Agent") with respect to certificated Notes issued only in
connection with the occurrence of special conditions described herein. The
Issuer hereby appoints Banque Generale du Luxembourg, S.A., 50, avenue J.F.

special conditions described herein. The Issuer may from time to time appoint
additional paying agents hereunder each of which shall have an office outside
the United States. The Principal Paying Agent and any duly qualified appointed
successor, together with any additional duly qualified or appointed paying
agents hereunder and their duly qualified or appointed successors, in such
capacity as paying agents are referred to collectively herein as the "Paying
Agents". The Trustee and the Paying Agents shall have the power and authority
granted to and conferred upon them in the Notes Documents and such further power
and authority to act on behalf of the Issuer as may be agreed upon by the Issuer
and either or both of them in writing from time to time.

     (b) The Trustee, the London Paying Agent and the Luxembourg Paying Agent
hereby accept the appointment set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2 upon

     (d) Subject to certain limitations set forth in this Master Indenture, the
Issuer reserves the right, at any time when an Accelerated Amortization Event or
an Early Amortization Event, or an event which, with the passage of time or
giving of notice or both would become an Accelerated Amortization Event or an
Early Amortization Event, has not occurred and is not continuing, to vary or
terminate the appointment of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with or without
cause and to appoint another Trustee or additional or other Paying Agent and to
approve any change in the specified offices through which any Paying Agent acts,
provided that the Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Notice of any such termination or
appointment and of any changes in the specified offices of a Paying Agent will
be given to the Noteholders and the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series
of Notes in accordance with Section 18 hereof.

     Section 3. Issuance, Execution and Authentication of Notes.

     (a) The Restricted Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes will
initially be issued in the form of Global Notes, without interest coupons.
Global Notes and beneficial interests therein will be issued in denominations of
US$100,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof; provided that
sales to Institutional Accredited Investors will initially be issued in the form
of Restricted Definitive Notes in denominations of US$100,000 and integral
multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. Global Notes and Restricted Definitive
Notes shall bear the date on which such Notes were authenticated by the Trustee.

     (b) Each Note shall be signed either manually or by facsimile on behalf of
the Issuer by any of its duly authorized officers or by a duly authorized
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer. The Issuer shall provide to the Trustee a
sufficient quantity (as advised by the Trustee from time to time) of executed
but unauthenticated Notes (in both global and definitive form) required to
enable the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

     (c) Upon such execution of the Global Notes and the Restricted Definitive
Notes and following receipt of written instructions from the Issuer, the Trustee
shall authenticate the Global Notes and the Restricted Definitive Notes in
accordance with this Master Indenture and such written instructions.

     (d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes (the "Authenticating Agent"). Unless
limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may
authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Master
Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by an
Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as the
Registrar or any Transfer Agent or Paying Agent or agent for service of notices
and demands.

         (i) Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent
will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of any Authenticating Agent, will be the successor of such Authenticating Agent
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the
parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         (ii) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such
written notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee may, and
if requested by the Issuer, will, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent and will give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

         (iii) The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its
reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Trustee will be entitled to be
promptly reimbursed by the Issuer for such payments.

     (e) This Section 3(e) shall apply only to Restricted Global Notes. The
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section
3(e), authenticate and deliver initially one Restricted Global Note with respect
to each Series of Notes that (A) shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, (B) shall be held by the Trustee as
custodian for the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and (C) shall bear
legends substantially to the following effect:

     Members of, or participants in, the Depositary shall have no rights under
this Master Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture with respect to any
Restricted Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the nominee
of the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Restricted Global Note for
the purpose of making payments and for all other purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the
Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary
or impair, as between the Depositary and its agent members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Noteholder.

     Section 4. Replacement of Notes; Cancellation of Notes.

     (a) Each Paying Agent shall transmit to the Trustee any request from a
Noteholder for the replacement of a mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or
lost Note. The Trustee is hereby authorized, in accordance with the Terms and
Conditions set forth in the Notes and this paragraph and upon provision of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was
destroyed, stolen or lost, together with such indemnity provided by such holder
as the Trustee and the Issuer may require (which may include a third party
indemnity), from time to time to authenticate and deliver Notes in exchange for
or in lieu of Notes which become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost.
Mutilated or defaced Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be

such Note shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid and to
accrue which were carried by such Note, and neither gain nor loss in interest
shall result from such exchange or substitution.

     (b) All Notes surrendered for payment or retirement shall be delivered to
the Trustee or its designated agent. Each Paying Agent in the case of Global
Notes and the Issuer in the case of Restricted Definitive Notes purchased by any
Institutional Accredited Investor shall cancel each Note surrendered to it for
payment prior to delivering each such Note to the Trustee or its designated
agent. The Trustee or its designated agent shall deliver all such cancelled
Notes to the Issuer and shall furnish to the Issuer a certificate in respect of
such cancelled Notes which will indicate the amount paid in respect of such
Notes so paid and cancelled, the series and serial numbers of such Notes in
numerical sequence and the total number and maturity dates of such Notes. The
Trustee shall keep a full and complete record of all Notes (for the period
referred to in Section 9(d) hereof or until such time as this Master Indenture
has terminated and no Notes are outstanding) and their payment, cancellation and
delivery to the Issuer and shall inform the other Paying Agents of the series

Agents.

     (c) All Notes to be exchanged as provided in this Section 4 shall be

the case of Restricted Definitive Notes purchased by any Institutional
Accredited Investor, and transmitted to the Trustee, and the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the
Note or Notes which the holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

     Section 5. Exchange of Interests in Global Notes for Restricted Definitive
Notes; Execution and Authentication of Restricted Definitive Notes.

     (a) Interests in any Global Note of any Series of Notes will be
exchangeable for corresponding Definitive Notes of such Series, only if (i) the
Depositary at any time notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as depositary for such Global Note, or ceases to be a "clearing agency"
registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by
the Issuer within 90 days of receiving such notification, or (ii) an Accelerated

                                       11
<PAGE>

Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing and Definitive Notes
are requested by the beneficial owners of 25% or more of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at such time outstanding.

         (i) Upon the occurrence and continuation of any event specified in
5(a)(i) above, the Trustee shall, upon the written request and instruction of
the Depositary acting on behalf of a beneficial owner of an interest in any
Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note of any Series and upon
endorsement pursuant to Section 5(b) below, but subject to Section 6(b) below,
authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for the account of such beneficial
owner, in exchange for the portion of the Restricted Global Note or Regulation S
Global Note of such Series beneficially owned by such owner, Restricted
Definitive Notes or Regulation S Definitive Notes of such Series, as the case
may be, in a principal amount at such time outstanding equal to the aggregate
principal amount at such time outstanding of the interest in such Restricted
Global Note or Regulation S Global Note beneficially owned by such owner, but
only, with respect to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Regulation S
Global Note, upon delivery by the Depositary of a certificate signed by
Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, acting on behalf of such beneficial owner,
to the Trustee, substantially in the form of an exhibit to the Supplemental
Indenture for the related Series of Notes.

         (ii) In the event that Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for
Global Notes, they will be issued in the form of registered Notes. No service
charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Definitive
Notes, but the Trustee may require payment from the Noteholder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. In the case of Definitive Notes issued in exchange for the Restricted
Global Notes, such Notes will bear, and be subject to, the legend referred to in
Section 3(e) hereof.

     (b) Upon exchange of any part of any Global Note of any Series for
Definitive Notes of such Series, such part of the principal amount then
outstanding of such Global Note shall be endorsed on Annex A thereto by the
Trustee upon presentation for such purpose by the Depositary, whereupon the
principal amount of such Global Note outstanding immediately prior to such
presentation shall be reduced by the amount so exchanged or endorsed. Upon
reduction to zero of the outstanding principal amount of any Global Note in
accordance with this Section 5(b), the Trustee shall obtain delivery of such
Global Note from the Depositary and the Trustee shall cancel such Global Note,
or cause such Global Note to be cancelled, and shall deliver the Global Note so
cancelled to the Issuer.

     (c) The Trustee shall cause all Definitive Notes of any Series delivered to
and held by it hereunder to be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that
such Notes are delivered only in accordance with the related Global Note of such
Series and the provisions of this Master Indenture.

     Section 6. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

     (a) The Trustee, as agent of the Issuer for this purpose, shall maintain at
its Corporate Trust Office a register of Notes of each Series (the "Register")
issued pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture for the registration, and
registration of transfers and exchange, of Notes of such Series.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Upon presentation for transfer or exchange of any Notes of a Series at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer or exchange in the form approved by the Issuer (it being understood
that, until notice to the contrary is given to Noteholders and the Enhancer, if
any, with respect to any Series of Notes, the Issuer shall be deemed to have
approved the form of instrument of transfer or exchange, if any, printed on any
Note), executed by the registered holder, in person or by such holder's attorney
thereunto duly authorized in writing, such Note shall be transferred upon the
register for the Note, and a new Note shall be authenticated and issued in the
name of the transferee.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, so long as a
Global Note of any Series remains outstanding and is held by on behalf of the
Depositary, transfers of such Global Note, in whole or in part, shall only be
made in accordance with this Section 6(b).

         (i) Subject to clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 6(b),
transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in
whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the
Depositary or such successor's nominee.

         (ii) If an owner of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note
of any Series deposited with the Depositary wishes at any time to exchange its
interest in such Restricted Global Note for an interest in a Regulation S Global
Note of such Series, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Note
to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in
the Regulation S Global Note of such Series, such owner of such beneficial
interest may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary, exchange or
cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an
equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note of such Series,
provided that the following conditions are complied with. Upon receipt by the
Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office of (A) instructions given in accordance
with the Depositary's procedures from an agent member directing the Trustee to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Note of such Series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the
Restricted Global Note of such Series to be exchanged or transferred, (B) a
written order from the Depositary given in accordance with the Depositary's
procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg account (or such other account with the Depositary) to be credited
with such increase and (C) a certificate given by the owner of such beneficial
interest in the form of an exhibit to the Supplemental Indenture for the related
Series of Notes together with a statement from the DTC participant identifying
the owner of such beneficial interest. The Trustee shall reduce the Restricted
Global Note of such Series and shall increase the Regulation S Global Note of
such Series by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Restricted Global Note of such Series to be so exchanged or transferred and the
Trustee shall concurrently inform the Depositary of the Notes of such Series so
exchanged or transferred, and shall instruct the Depositary to credit or cause
to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note of such Series equal to the
reduction in the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note and to debit or
cause to be debited from the account of the person giving such instructions a
beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Note equal to the increase in the
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note of such Series.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         (iii) If a Euroclear participant or a Clearstream, Luxembourg
participant or any other participant in the Depositary holding an interest in
the Regulation S Global Note of any Series wishes at any time to exchange its
interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the Restricted
Global Note of such Series, or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S
Global Note to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an
interest in Restricted Global Note, such owner of such beneficial interest may,
subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
and/or the Depositary, as the case may be, exchange or cause the exchange of
such interest for, or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest to a
person in the form of, an equivalent beneficial interest in the Restricted
Global Note of such Series. Upon receipt by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office of (A) instructions from the Depositary directing the Trustee to credit
or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note of
such Series equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note of
such Series to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain
information regarding the agent member's account with the Depositary to be
credited with such increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of an
interest in such Regulation S Global Note, information regarding the agent
member's account with the Depositary to be debited with such decrease, and (B) a
certificate in the form of an exhibit to the Supplemental Indenture for the
related Series of Notes given by the holder of such beneficial interest
accompanied by a statement from the participant in the Depositary through whom
such beneficial owner's interest is held, identifying the transferor, the
Trustee shall reduce the Regulation S Global Note of such Series and shall
increase the Restricted Global Note of such Series by the aggregate principal
amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be
exchanged or transferred, and the Trustee shall concurrently inform the
Depositary of the Notes to be exchanged or transferred, and shall instruct the
Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Note of such Series equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such
Regulation S Global Note and to debit or cause to be debited from the account of
the person giving such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Note equal to the increase in the principal amount of such Restricted
Global Note.

         (iv) In the event that a Global Note of any Series is exchanged for
Definitive Notes of such Series pursuant to Section 5 hereof, such Notes may be
exchanged or transferred only in accordance with such procedures as are
substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above
(including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such exchanges
or transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as
may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer.

     (c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges
as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such
registration shall be noted on the Register for each Series of Notes maintained
by the Trustee. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of the Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith and any other amounts required to be paid by the provisions of the
Notes.

     (d) If Notes of any Series are issued upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Notes of such Series not bearing the applicable legends required
by the forms of Note attached in the related schedules to the Supplemental
Indenture for such Series of Notes hereto (collectively,

                                       14
<PAGE>

the "Legend"), the Notes so issued shall not bear the Legend. If Notes of any
Series are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes of such
Series bearing the Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a
Note, the Notes so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be
removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the
Trustee such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of New York
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, as may be reasonably required by
the Issuer that neither the Legend nor the restriction on transfer set forth
therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions
of Rule 144A or Regulation S, or that such Notes are not "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such
satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Issuer,
shall authenticate and deliver a Note that does not bear the Legend.

     (e) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred
to a person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the other
Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be a beneficial interest in such
Global Note and become a beneficial interest in the other Global Note and,
accordingly, will thereafter be subject to any transfer restrictions and other
procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as
long as it remains such an interest. Title to beneficial interests in the Notes
will pass upon registration of the transfer on the securities records of the
Depositary. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note
will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the
Depositary's applicable procedures (in addition to those set forth herein) and,
if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

     (f) The holder of a Definitive Note of any Series may transfer all or a
portion of such Note by surrendering it at the office or agency maintained by
the Issuer for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or
at the office of any Paying Agent.

     Section 7. Payment of Amounts into the Collection Account and the
Accumulation Account.

     (a) In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes of each Series on each Payment Date with respect to such Series,
simultaneously with the execution of this Master Indenture, the Trustee, the
Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Parent are entering into a Collection
Agency Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Collection Agency
Agreement") with the Collection Agent, under which the Collection Agent will
collect payments on Receivables (the "Collections") on behalf of the Issuer,
subject to the interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the
Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes and distribute such
payments as described herein.

     (b) Each Customer shall be provided with an irrevocable notification (each,
an "Irrevocable Notification") issued by the Seller or any other Seller to the
effect that (i) such Seller has transferred to the Issuer existing and future
Receivables of such Customer owing to the Seller; (ii) the Issuer has granted a
security interest in all such Receivables to the Trustee; (iii) the Seller is
irrevocably instructing each such Customer to make all payments due to the
Seller to the Collection Agent for deposit into one of the following accounts of
the Collection Agent, as applicable, each as a control account of the Trustee
for the benefit of Noteholders and subject to a security interest of the
Trustee, (A) a U.S. dollar-denominated account of the

                                       15
<PAGE>

Collection Agent (for all Customers making payment in U.S. dollars) (the "Dollar
Account") or (B) an account of the Collection Agent denominated in Euros (for
all Customers making payments in Euro) (the "Euro Account") and (C) one or more
separate accounts for the receipt of Customer payments in currencies other than
U.S. dollars or Euros (the "Other Currency Accounts", and the Other Currency
Accounts, collectively with the Dollar Account and the Euro Account being the
"Collection Account" and each, separately, a "Constituent Account"); and (iv)
the terms of the irrevocable notification may be changed only by written notice
from the Trustee. All payments made by Customers in a currency other than U.S.
dollars will be made by such Customer for the credit of the respective currency
account (the Euro Account or an Other Currency Account). At the end of each
Business Day, the Collection Agent shall arrange for the exchange of amounts
paid into the Euro Account or any Other Currency Account, as the case may be,
for U.S. dollars and credit such U.S. dollar amounts to the Dollar Account;
provided, however, that on and after the date on which U.S. dollar amounts in
the Accumulation Account are sufficient to meet the applicable Required Amount,
so long as no Early Amortization Event or Accredited Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Collection Agent shall no longer arrange for the
exchange of amounts held in the Euro Account or such Other Currency Account for
U.S. dollars. Such amounts credited to the Euro Account or Other Currency
Account but not required to be converted shall be notionally credited to the
Collection Account at the U.S. dollar spot rate agreed to by the Seller and the
Collection Agent for purposes of calculating the required coverage ratios set
forth in any applicable Supplemental Indenture. All U.S. dollar amounts so
exchanged shall be credited to the Dollar Account in same day funds.

     The Collection Agent will maintain the Collection Account and each of the
Constituent Accounts as control accounts subject to the security interest of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer, if any. The
Collection Agent may open additional Other Currency Accounts as Constituent
Accounts, subject to the security interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes to
accept payments from future Customers making payments on Receivables in
currencies other than U.S. dollars and Euros.

     (c) Aracruz (USA) Inc. and any successors thereto ("Aracruz (USA)") will
provide irrevocable payment instructions to its customers notifying them to pay
for BEKP sold to such customers to an account of Aracruz (USA), also established
and maintained with the Collection Agent (the "USA Account"). The USA Account
shall be pledged in favor of the Seller to secure the payment of Receivables
payable by Aracruz (USA) to the Seller, and the Seller shall assign its rights
to the USA Account to the Issuer. At the end of each Business Day, the
Collection Agent shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the USA Account into
the Collection Account. The Issuer will further assign its rights in the USA
Account and amounts deposited therein to the Trustee as security for the Notes
of any Series.

     (d) Simultaneously with the execution of this Master Indenture, the Trustee
will open a trust account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer,
if any, with respect to any Series of Notes with the Collection Agent (the
"Accumulation Account"). The Trustee will maintain the Accumulation Account as a
trust account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer, if any, with
respect to any Series of Notes of each Series, as their interests may appear.

                                       16
<PAGE>

     Pursuant to the terms of the Collection Agency Agreement, the Collection
Agent will transfer into the Accumulation Account all amounts deposited into the
Collection Account during each Collection Period, excluding Collections
committed, as set forth in Section 33 hereof, to collateralize Bank Loans, if
any, until the balance in the Accumulation Account is equal to the aggregate of
the Required Amounts for all outstanding Series of Notes and for such Collection
Period (the "Aggregate Required Amount"), and the Trustee shall allocate such
amounts among outstanding Notes of each Series based upon their respective
Series' Interest Percentage. The Trustee shall certify to the Collection Agent
the Required Amounts for each Collection Period with respect to each outstanding
Series of Notes.

     So long as any Note of any Series remains outstanding, during any
Collection Period the Collection Agent will not make any payment or other
transfer (other than, and within the limits, as set forth in Section 33 hereof
with respect to Bank Loans) out of the Collection Account other than to the
Accumulation Account if the Collection Agent: (i) shall not have received
written notice from the Trustee that all Required Amounts with respect to such
Collection Period have been deposited into the Accumulation Account and (ii)
shall have received a Deficiency Notice or any other written notice from the
Trustee, the Issuer, the Seller or the Parent that an Early Amortization Event
or an Accelerated Amortization Event (or any event that with the giving of
notice or the passage of time or both would become an Early Amortization Event
or an Accelerated Amortization Event) with respect to any outstanding Series of
Notes has occurred and is continuing.

     A "Collection Period" shall be each calendar month, provided, however, that
the first Collection Period following the Initial Closing Date will begin on the
Initial Closing Date and will terminate on April 30, 2002.

     The "Required Amount" with respect to each Collection Period and each
Series of Notes shall be equal to the sum of: (i) interest to accrue on such
Series of Notes with respect to such Collection Period, (ii) the scheduled
principal payment on such Series of Notes, if any, with respect to such
Collection Period and (iii) all Additional Amounts due and payable with respect
to such Series and such Collection Period.

     Section 8. Allocation of Series' Interests.

     Each Series of Notes shall have an equal and ratable security interest in
the Receivables for each Collection Period (each, a "Series' Interest
Percentage") will be such that Noteholders, the Enhancer, if any, with respect
to any Series of Notes and the other recipients of the related Additional
Amounts with respect to such Series are, collectively, entitled to a percentage
of Collections (whether paid or payable) with respect to Receivables equal to:

         (i) if no Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event
with respect to any Series of Notes shall have occurred during such Collection
Period, until the Collections allocated to all outstanding Series for such
Collection Period equal the Required Amount in respect of such Series at the end
of such Collection Period, a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to such
Required Amount and the denominator of which is the Required Amount in respect
of all Series of Notes are outstanding at the end of such Collection Period, and

                                       17
<PAGE>

         (ii) if an Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event
shall have occurred during such Collection Period and if Notes of such Series
are outstanding during such Collection Period, a fraction,

               (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal
          amount of Notes of such Series (without giving effect to any payments
          made under any Enhancement Agreement) outstanding at the end of such
          Collection Period in which such Early Amortization Event or
          Accelerated Amortization Event shall have occurred, and

               (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of
          Notes of all Series (without giving effect to any payments made under
          any Enhancement Agreement) outstanding at the end of such Collection
          Period;

     Section 9. Payments on the Notes.

     (a) Payments of interest on and scheduled principal of with respect to each
Series of Notes and related Additional Amounts will be made by the Trustee, to
the extent of available funds in the Accumulation Account, on the first day of
the month immediately following the last day of each Collection Period (each, a
"Payment Date") into a trust account established and maintained by the Trustee
as Principal Paying Agent to make payments with respect to the Notes of each
Series (each, a "Paying Agent Account"). Any payment of principal or interest
otherwise required to be made in respect of a Note and related Additional
Amounts on a Payment Date that is not a Business Day will be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such
Payment Date, and no additional interest shall be payable in respect of such
delay. Payments will be made by the Principal Paying Agent, to the extent of
available funds in the related Paying Agent Account, to the person in whose name
a Note of the related Series is registered at the close of business on the date
ten days immediately preceding such Payment Date (whether or not a Business
Day). Payments with respect to the Notes of a Series will be allocated as set
forth in Section 8. All payments of amounts due by the Issuer in respect of any
Series of notes or by the Parent under the Parent Guarantee will be made in
United States dollars in immediately available funds without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever
nature ("Taxes") imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Cayman Islands, Panama
or Brazil, as the case may be, or any authority in the Cayman Islands, Panama or
Brazil, as the case may be, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes or
duties is required by law. However, in the event that any such Taxes are
required to be paid, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as shall be
necessary in order that the net payments on the Notes shall equal the amount
which would have been received by the holder thereof in the absence of such
Taxes. Payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer with respect to a Series of
Notes to the Accumulation Account maintained by the Trustee in accordance with
the provisions set forth in the Indenture shall be deemed to, and shall, fully
discharge the Issuer's obligations to the Noteholders of such Series with
respect to the amounts paid, when received by the Trustee in the Accumulation
Account.

     (b) (i) In the event the Trustee does not have, in the aggregate, in the
Accumulation Account and in the applicable Reserve Account an amount required to
be paid into each Paying Agent Account and to the Noteholders of each Series
outstanding on any Payment Date, no later

                                       18
<PAGE>

than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date that is five Business Days
immediately preceding such Payment Date, the Trustee shall give notice to the
Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes with respect to each
Series of Notes, the Servicer, the Seller and the Parent, and at or prior to
10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately following
delivery of such notice, the Seller shall make a payment (each such payment, a
"Seller Advance") in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the
Accumulation Account in an amount (the "Shortfall Amount") sufficient to cause
the amount on deposit in the Accumulation Account to equal the Aggregate
Required Amount with respect to such Payment Date.

          (ii) In the event that the Seller does not make the payment of the
     Shortfall Amount as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the
     Trustee shall, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
     Business Day three Business Days immediately preceding the related Payment
     Date, notify the Enhancer, if any, with respect to each Series of Notes,
     the Parent, the Servicer and the Seller and, at or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New
     York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, the Parent shall make
     a payment of the Shortfall Amount pursuant to the terms of the Parent
     Guarantee into the Accumulation Account.

          (iii) In the event that the Parent does not make the payment of the
     Shortfall Amount as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the
     related Series of Notes benefits from an Enhancement Agreement, the Trustee
     shall, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date two
     Business Days immediately preceding such Payment Date, notify the Enhancer,
     if any, with respect to each Series of Notes and at such time the Trustee
     shall make a claim for payment under the terms of the Enhancement Agreement
     with respect to the related Series of Notes for payment into the Paying
     Agent Account at or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the related
     Payment Date.

          (iv) In the event that the Shortfall Amount is not paid as provided
     pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Trustee shall immediately give
     notice by telex or telecopy to the Enhancer, if any, with respect to each
     Series of Notes, the Issuer, the Parent, the Servicer, the Collection
     Agent, and the Paying Agents (A) stating that an Accelerated Amortization
     Event has occurred under the Indenture; (B) specifying all amounts then due
     and payable and not theretofore paid to the Trustee and (C) setting forth
     the actions to be taken pursuant to the terms of the related Supplemental
     Indenture until such time as such Shortfall Amount shall have been paid.

     (c) At least ten Business Days prior to the first Payment Date for any
Series (and at least ten Business Days prior to each succeeding Payment Date
with respect to each such Series if there has been any change with respect to
the matters set forth in the below-mentioned certificate), the Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of
Notes and the Paying Agents a certificate of an officer of the Issuer or a duly
appointed attorney-in-fact instructing the Trustee and the Paying Agents whether
payments under the Notes due on any date shall be without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes. The Servicer, on behalf of the
Issuer, shall notify the Trustee and the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any
Series of Notes promptly if there shall be any change in the matters set forth
in such certificate. If any such deduction or withholding shall be required,
then (i) prior to the date of any such payment the Issuer will furnish the
Trustee, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any

                                       19
<PAGE>

Series of Notes and the Paying Agents with a certificate which specifies the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payment to Noteholders and
certifying that such amount will be withheld and paid by the Issuer, (ii) the
amount required to be deducted or withheld by the Issuer shall be so deducted or
withheld, and (iii) the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as shall be
necessary in order that the net payments on the Notes shall equal the amount
which would have been received by the holder thereof in the absence of such
deduction or withholding. Each of the Issuer and the Seller covenants and agrees
hereunder and the Parent will covenant and agree under the Parent Guarantee to
indemnify the Trustee, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes
and the Paying Agents for, and to hold each harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any certificate furnished
pursuant to this paragraph or the failure to provide such certificate. Any
certificate required by this Section 9(c) to be provided to the Trustee, the
Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes and any Paying Agent shall
be deemed to be duly provided if telecopied to the Trustee, the Enhancer, if
any, with respect to any Series of Notes and such Paying Agent. The obligations
of the Issuer and Seller hereunder and of the Parent under the Parent Guarantee
to indemnify the Trustee, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of
Notes and each Paying Agent and any predecessor of any of them shall survive the
resignation or removal of such Trustee or Paying Agent, payment of any or all of
the Notes and the satisfaction and discharge of this Master Indenture.

     Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 9(c), the Issuer and the Seller
shall have no such obligation with respect to any payment on any Note, and the
Parent will have no such obligation with respect to the Parent Guarantee, (A) on
behalf of a Noteholder who is liable for taxes or duties in respect of such note
by reason of his having some connection with the Cayman Islands, Panama or
Brazil, as the case may be, other than the mere holding of such Note or the
receipt of amounts due in respect thereof, or (B) presented for payment more
than 15 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that such holder would
have been entitled on presenting the same for payment at the close of such 15
day period. As used herein "Relevant Date" in respect of any payment means the
date on which such payment first becomes due but, if the full amount of the
moneys payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due
date, it means the date on which the full amount of such moneys is received and
notice to that effect is duly given to the Noteholders in accordance with the
provisions contained herein. Any reference in any Note or the Parent Guarantee
to principal and/or amounts due shall be deemed also to refer to any additional
amount which may be payable under the undertakings referred to in this
paragraph.

     Section 10. Investment and Release of Collections.

     (a) Collections transferred at the end of each Business Day to the
Accumulation Account pursuant to the terms of the Collection Agency Agreement
shall be invested by the Trustee, at the written direction of the Seller, in
Eligible Investments (as defined in the applicable Supplemental Indenture). Each
Series will have an interest in such investments in proportion to its undivided
interest in amounts held by the Trustee in the Accumulation Account at the time
of such investment. All interest and income earned from such investments will be
credited to the respective account and allocated to the Series on the applicable
Payment Date and, if the amount of such interest and income on deposit in the
Accumulation Account and

                                       20
<PAGE>

allocated to a Series of Notes exceeds the Required Amount for such Series of
Notes and such Collection Period, such excess will be applied against the
Required Amount for such Series for the immediately succeeding Collection
Period. Investments will be made at the sole risk of the Seller.

     "Eligible Investments" shall be U.S. dollar-denominated securities with a
maturity to be fixed by the Servicer, but on no account to be after the Business
Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date, possessing a short-term rating
no lower than A-1 and P-1 by Standard & Poor's and Moody's, respectively. Each
Series of Notes will have an interest in such investments in proportion to its
Series' Interest Percentage in amounts held by the Trustee in the Accumulation
Account at the time of such investment. All interest and income earned from such
investments will be credited to the respective account and allocated to the
Series on the applicable Payment Date and, if the amount of such interest and
income on deposit in the Accumulation Account and allocated to a Series of Notes
exceeds the Required Amount for such Series for such Collection Period, such
excess will be applied against the Required Amount for such notes for the
immediately succeeding Collection Period. Investments will be made at the sole
risk of the Seller. Income earned from Eligible Investments will not constitute
Excess Collections. The Seller shall instruct the Trustee with respect to the
investment of amounts in the Accumulation Account in Eligible Investments.

     (b) Provided that (i) the Trustee has notified the Collection Agent in
writing that the aggregate amount of Collections for Receivables in respect of
any Collection Period that are on deposit in the Accumulation Account are at
least equal to the Aggregate Required Amounts for each outstanding Series of
Notes for such Collection Period, and (ii) none of the Trustee, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes or the
Parent has notified the Collection Agent in writing that an event has occurred
and is continuing that is, or would become, with the passage of time or giving
notice or both, an Early Amortization Event or an Accelerated Amortization
Event, the Collection Agent will deliver to or at the direction of the Servicer
on behalf of the Issuer from the Collection Account all Collections in excess of
the Aggregate Required Amounts for all outstanding Series of Notes, with respect
to such Collection Period ("Excess Collections") as a reinvestment in
Receivables to be generated in subsequent Collection Periods and as a repayment
of any Seller Advances to the Seller. After the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on a Series of Notes, and all other Required Amounts in respect of
such Notes, have been paid in full, if any funds remain on deposit in the
Accumulation Account that are allocable to such Series, an adjustment in the
Series' Interest Percentage in the Receivables sold to the Issuer shall be made
and, accordingly, such funds shall constitute Excess Collections and be released
to or at the written direction of the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer.

     Section 11. Priority of Payment.

     (a) Not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Payment Date
related to each Collection Period, provided there has been no occurrence or
declaration of an Early Amortization Event or an Accelerated Amortization Event,
the Trustee will apply the balance in the Accumulation Account allocable with
respect to each Series in accordance with its Series' Interest Percentage to the
payment of amounts owing in respect of such Series of Notes in the following
order of priority:

                                       21
<PAGE>

     first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due to the Collection
Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to such Series of Notes;

     second, to deposit the Required Amount for such Series into such Series'
Paying Agent Account. The amount on deposit in the Paying Agent Account for such
Series of Notes will then be applied:

          first, to pay accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the Notes of
     such Series;

          second, to pay all unpaid scheduled principal of the Notes of such
     Series;

          third, to pay Additional Amounts due and payable to the Enhancer, if
     any, with respect to such Series;

          fourth, to pay any Required Amounts into the Reserve Account, if any,
     with respect to such Series; and

          fifth, to pay all other outstanding Additional Amounts in respect of
     the Notes of such Series.

     (b) Not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on each Payment Date
following the occurrence and continuation of an Early Amortization Event with
respect to a Series of Notes, and until such condition has been corrected or
waived, the Noteholders of such Series will be entitled to receive, on each
Payment Date during such Early Amortization Event, (a) the aggregate amount of
interest accrued on such Notes with respect to the related Collection Period,
plus (b) the scheduled principal payment, if any, with respect to such Notes on
such Payment Date, plus (c) two times the amount of the maximum scheduled unpaid
principal payment with respect to any subsequent Payment Date for each such
Series of Notes. In such event, Collections in such amount and all other amounts
allocable to the Notes of each Series, including all Additional Amounts, will be
transferred by the Collection Agent to the Accumulation Account and thereafter
to the applicable Paying Agent Account for each Series in proportion to its
Series' Interest Percentage for distribution to the Noteholders and the
recipients of Additional Amounts, as applicable, on each such Payment Date until
such Early Amortization Event has been cured or until all principal and interest
on the Notes of such Series or any Additional Amount with respect thereto have
been paid in full.

     On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent will apply all such funds from the
applicable Paying Agent Account to the payment of amounts owing in respect of
such Series of Notes in the following order of priority:

          first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due to the
     Collection Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to such
     Series of Notes;

          second, to pay first, accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes of such
     Series and then all unpaid scheduled principal of the Notes of such Series
     on such Payment Date;

                                       22
<PAGE>

          third, to pay Additional Amounts due and payable to the Enhancer with
     respect to such Series, if any;

          fourth, to pay the remaining unpaid principal of the Notes of such
     Series as a prepayment of the last scheduled maturities of principal until
     all principal on the Notes of such Series has been paid in full; and

          fifth, to pay all other Additional Amounts that are outstanding in
     respect of the Notes of such Series.

     (c) Immediately upon receipt by the Collection Agent of notice of the
occurrence of an Accelerated Amortization Event with respect to a Series of
Notes in accordance with Section 15(a), and so long as such Accelerated
Amortization Event shall continue uncured and unwaived, the Collection Agent
shall cease to pay any amount deposited into the Collection Account to or at the
direction of the Issuer as Excess Collections and shall hold all such funds and
any funds subsequently paid into the Collection Account during the continuation
of such Accelerated Amortization Event subject to the instruction of the
Trustee. With respect to an Accelerated Amortization Event for which no notice
of acceleration on behalf of the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or
Noteholders, as the case may be, of such Series is required to be provided to
the Trustee under the related Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall
promptly, and with respect to all other Accelerated Amortization Events, the
Trustee shall promptly, upon receipt of written notice (each, an "Acceleration
Notice") from the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or otherwise from the
holders of not less than 35% of the outstanding Notes of such Series, as the
case may be, notify the Collection Agent, the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Parent, the Enhancer and the Rating Agencies of (i) the Adjusted Required
Amount (as defined below), (ii) the amount then on deposit in the Accumulation
Account allocable to the Notes of such Series and (iii) the amount equal to the
difference between (i) and (ii) above, to be deposited into the Accumulation
Account available for payment to the Noteholders of such Series. If given by the
Noteholders of a Series, such notice may be given without a meeting of such
Noteholders being called. The Seller will be required, not later than the date
that is two Business Days thereafter, to deposit such amount with respect to the
Notes into the Accumulation Account for the benefit of the Notes of such Series
and the Trustee shall thereafter cause the Adjusted Required Amount to be
transferred from the Accumulation Account to the applicable Paying Agent Account
on or prior to the Business Day next preceding the related Payment Date.

     (d) Any such acceleration based on delivery of an Acceleration Notice may
be waived or reversed by the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or otherwise by
the vote of the holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate principal amount
of Notes of such Series at such time outstanding, as the case may be. All other
waivers or decisions to be made by the Controlling Party or the Noteholders, as
the case may be, shall be made according to the terms of Section 22 hereof.
After the occurrence or declaration of an Accelerated Amortization Event with
respect to one or more Series of Notes and until the Adjusted Required Amount
with respect to all such Series is paid in full, the Collection Agent will pay
into the Accumulation Account and the Trustee will distribute all Collections
and other amounts held by it based on each Series' Interest Percentage to the
applicable Paying Agent Account. On the day the Seller deposits the Adjusted
Required Amount in respect of a Series of Notes into the Accumulation Account,
the Trustee will distribute such amount to the respective Series' Paying Agent
Account for

                                       23
<PAGE>

application to the payment of all Required Amounts with respect to such Series.
If an Adjusted Required Amount is owing in respect of more than one Series of
Notes and the Seller pays only a portion of the aggregate Adjusted Required
Amount that is owing with respect to all such Series, such payment will be
allocated ratably among the applicable Series in accordance with their
respective outstanding principal amounts at the time of such deposit. At any
time after the Trustee has declared an Adjusted Required Amount with respect to
a Series of Notes to be due and payable pursuant to this Section 11, the Trustee
upon the direction of the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party with respect to any
Series of Notes, or otherwise the holders of a Majority in Interest of such
Series by written notice to the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Enhancer,
if any, with respect to any Series of Notes and the Parent may rescind and annul
such declaration and thereby annul its consequences if: (i) there has been paid
to or deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all Additional
Amounts with respect to any Series then due under the Indenture, the Notes of
such Series or any of the Transaction Documents or Note Documents and (ii) the
Trustee has Actual Knowledge that all other Accelerated Amortization Events in
respect of such Series have been cured or waived in writing.

     In any such event the Paying Agent will apply all amounts on deposit in the
applicable Paying Agent Account owing in respect of such Series of Notes in the
following order of priority:

          first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due but unpaid to
     the Collection Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to such
     Series of Notes;

          second, to pay first, accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes of such
     Series and then all unpaid scheduled principal of the Notes of such Series
     on such Payment Date;

          third, to pay Additional Amounts due and payable to the Enhancer with
     respect to such Series of Notes, if any;

          fourth, to pay the remaining unpaid principal of the Notes of such
     Series to the Noteholders; and

          fifth, to pay all other Additional Amounts that are outstanding in
     respect of the Notes of such Series.

     Section 12. Payment of Amounts Due under the Notes to Noteholders by
Trustee.

     (a) Subject to receipt of the payments by the Trustee as provided in this
Section 12(a) and Section 12(b) hereof, which payments shall be in an amount
sufficient to fully discharge the Issuer's obligations to the Noteholders with
respect to the next succeeding Payment Date, the Trustee shall act as trustee on
behalf of such Noteholders, and the Paying Agents shall act as paying agents for
the Issuer for the Notes and pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Issuer on
and after each due date for payment the amounts due to be paid in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Master Indenture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if, for any reason (other than gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of any of the Trustee
and the Paying Agents) the amounts paid to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9(a)
and (b) hereof shall be insufficient to satisfy all claims for amounts due on
the Payment Date or any Redemption Date of the Notes with respect to which such
payment was made, neither the

                                       24
<PAGE>

Trustee nor the Paying Agents shall be bound to pay any such claim until the
Trustee has received the full amount thereof or other arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee have been made.

     (b) With respect to Restricted Definitive Notes, payment at or from the
offices of the Principal Paying Agent or the Paying Agents hereunder shall be
made by check or, subject to the Terms and Conditions of the applicable Series
of Notes, by transfer to a United States dollar account maintained by such
Noteholder, in the case of holders of Regulation S Definitive Notes, with a bank
located outside the United States and, in the case of holders of Definitive
Restricted Notes, with any bank. Wire instructions given by a Noteholder to the
Principal Paying Agent, in the case of a payment of interest and/or principal
other than a final payment of principal and interest, or to the Paying Agent to
whom such Note shall be presented and surrendered, in the case of a final
payment of principal, must be received in writing in the office of the Principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, as the case may be, at least ten Business Days
prior to the Payment Date and in the case of a final payment of principal and
interest, if any, such Note must be presented on the Payment Date at such office
in sufficient time to meet the wire requirements of the Principal Paying Agent
or the Paying Agents, as the case may be. Payment of amounts due with respect to
Global Notes will be made by the Principal Paying Agent to the Depositary in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Global Notes, the forms of which are
annexed to the related Supplemental Indenture for each Series of Notes.

     (c) The Trustee shall credit or transfer to the account of the Paying
Agents the amount of any payments made by them as aforesaid immediately upon
receipt from such Paying Agents of notification (by telecopy or letter) of any
such amount, together with the series and serial numbers of the Notes which have
been presented to the Paying Agents for payment, and the Trustee shall charge
the Note Account for all payments made to the Paying Agents on behalf of the
Issuer. The Paying Agents shall indemnify the Trustee for all moneys paid to
them by the Trustee for payment on the Notes.

     (d) Notes in respect of which the Issuer has made payment to the Trustee of
all amounts payable under the terms of the Note Documents will become void
unless presented for payment within three years from the date of the last such
payment (each such Restricted Definitive Note that so becomes void being a
"Prescripted Definitive Note", and each such Global Note that so becomes void
being a "Prescripted Global Note"). The Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain the return of any Prescripted Global Note, and the Trustee or the Paying
Agents shall annotate any Prescripted Definitive Notes received by them as being
void for payments. The Trustee or, as the case may be, the Paying Agents shall
return to the Issuer any such voided Prescripted Definitive Notes or Prescripted
Global Notes. Any moneys paid by the Issuer to the Trustee for the payment of
principal, interest, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on overdue amounts,
if any, in respect of any Prescripted Definitive or Global Note upon the written
request of the Issuer, will then revert to the Issuer, and all liability of the
Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Issuer with respect thereto will thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, before being required to make any
such payment to the Issuer, may at the expense of the Issuer mail or deliver by
courier to each registered Noteholder, at the address included in the Register
maintained by the Trustee, a notice in English that such money remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer, the Seller or the Parent, as the
case may be.

     (e) Subject to the provisions of Section 12(d) above and Section 29 below,
all moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant hereto shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, this
Master Indenture and the applicable Supplemental Indenture, to the payment as
required hereby and thereby, through any Paying Agent, to the Noteholders with
respect to which such deposit has been made.

     Section 13. Payment of Trustee and Paying Agents' Fees, Costs and Expenses;
Indemnity.

     (a) The Issuer and the Seller each, severally and jointly, agrees to pay to
each of the Trustee and the Paying Agents in freely transferable United States
dollars without deduction for or on account of any taxes or governmental
charges, as and when due in accordance with their respective written agreements
with the Issuer and the Seller, such compensation in respect of, in the case of
the Trustee, the Trustee's services as trustee hereunder and under any
Supplemental Indenture and, in the case of each of the Paying Agents, each such
Paying Agent's services as paying banker for the Issuer under this Master
Indenture and under any Supplemental Indenture as shall be agreed upon in
writing by the Issuer and the Seller and the Trustee and each such Paying Agent,
as the case may be, together with documented or invoiced reasonable out-ofpocket
expenses (including, without limitation, advertising, cable, telecopy, postage,
costs and reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and agents) incurred by it
in connection with its services under this Master Indenture.

     (b) The Issuer, the Seller and the Parent each, severally and jointly,
agrees to indemnify the Trustee and each Paying Agent for, and to hold each
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable costs
and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim of liability)
arising out of or in connection with its acceptance of its appointment hereunder
or its acting as Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, hereunder or
arising under any of the Note Documents or the Transaction Documents; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be indemnified for
or held harmless against any such loss, liability or expense resulting from its
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The obligations of the Issuer
and the Seller under this Section 13 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and
each Paying Agent and each predecessor thereto and to reimburse the Trustee and
each Paying Agent and each predecessor thereto for expenses shall constitute
additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the resignation or removal
of such Trustee or Paying Agent, payment of any and all of the Notes and the
satisfaction and discharge of this Master Indenture.

     (c) To secure payment obligations of the Issuer, the Seller and the Parent
in this Section 13, the Trustee, on its own behalf and on behalf of the
Noteholders, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes and each
of the Paying Agents, shall have a lien ranking prior to that of the Notes on
all moneys and property held or collected by the Trustee or any receiver,
trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or similar officer in the
Trustee's stead pursuant to the Collection Agency Agreement, the Parent
Guarantee and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Such lien shall survive
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, and any rejection of this Master Indenture by any bankruptcy court and
will be an additional obligation of the Issuer and the Parent hereunder. The
Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Seller in writing of its intention to
exercise such lien and

                                       26
<PAGE>

the corresponding lien granted pursuant to the Security Agreement at least five
Business Days prior to such exercise, except if any Early Amortization Event or
Accelerated Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, in which
case no such notice shall be required. The immediately preceding sentence shall
not limit or in any way affect the ability of the Trustee to exercise any lien
of the Noteholders under this Master Indenture, any Supplemental Indenture, any
of the Notes or any Transaction Document.

     Section 14. Obligations of the Trustee and Paying Agents.

     (a) Except during the continuance of any Early Amortization Event or
Accelerated Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
Actual Knowledge,

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

         (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to
examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
the Indenture.

     (b) In case any Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event
has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
Actual Knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by the Indenture and the other Note Documents and Transaction
Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

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

         (i) this subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of
subsection (a) of this Section 14;

         (ii) neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by it, as the case may be, unless it shall
be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

         (iii) neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be liable with
respect to

any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or otherwise the
holders of a Majority in Interest of the Notes of any Series then outstanding
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under the Indenture; and

                                       27
<PAGE>

         (iv) no provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee or any
Paying Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, other than funds advanced with respect to
incidental expenses related to the payment or transfer of funds and the giving
of notice, 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.

     (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 14.

     Section 15. Notice of Early Amortization Events or Accelerated Amortization
Events or Other Events.

     (a) Promptly upon receipt of notice, in accordance with Section 24(a)(v) or
24(c)(v) hereof, of the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event or
Accelerated Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee
shall provide written notice of such occurrence to the Collection Agent, the
Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent, the Rating Agencies and any
Enhancer, unless each such Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization
Event shall have been cured or waived.

     (b) In the event that any Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall acquire
Actual Knowledge of any non-compliance by either the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Parent or the Collection Agent of any provision of any Transaction
Document or Note Document, the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of
such non-compliance to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent, the
Rating Agencies and any Enhancer.

     Section 16. Certain Rights of Trustee and Paying Agents.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 14:

     (a) the Trustee and each Paying Agent may conclusively rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or any of the
Note Documents and Transaction Documents;

be sufficiently evidenced by a board resolution certified by the Secretary or an
appropriate officer of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller or the Parent, as
the case may be, to have been duly adopted by the board of directors and to be
in full force and effect on the date of such certification;

     (c) whenever in the administration of the Indenture or any of the
Transaction Documents or Note Documents the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall
deem it desirable that a

                                       28
<PAGE>

matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder or under any Transaction Document or Note Document, the Trustee
(unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an officers' certificate
designated as such provided by the Issuer or the Servicer;

     (d) the Trustee and each Paying Agent may consult with counsel, experts and
other consultants and the written advice of any such counsel, expert or
consultant or any opinion of counsel, shall be full and complete authorization

hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of the
Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or otherwise any of the Noteholders of the
related Series of Notes pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Enhancer or such
Noteholders, as the case may be, shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

     (f) the Trustee and each Paying Agent 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, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document but any of such parties, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
such party shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer or,
as a result of the assignment by the Issuer to the Trustee of the rights of the
Issuer, the Servicer or the Parent, personally or by agent or attorney;

     (g) the Trustee may not delegate any of its obligations to exercise the
rights granted by the Security Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee
may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder, including those powers
granted by such power of attorney, or perform any duties hereunder through
agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with care by it
hereunder; and provided further, however, that the Trustee may not delegate any
of its obligations to hold, receive or pay moneys in trust, in the ordinary
course, or to authenticate, exchange or register the transfer of any Restricted
Definitive Note or any Global Note or, with respect to any Global Note, make and
endorse or cause to be made or endorsed a change in the principal amount thereof
at such time outstanding;

     (h) except as set forth herein, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent
shall be required to invest, or shall be under any liability for interest, on
any moneys at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of the
Indenture or the Notes of any Series;

     (i) neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent makes any representation as to
the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Notes of any Series, the
Parent Guarantee, the Collection Agency Agreement, the Offering Memorandum or
other offering documents, or the Security Agreement, except that each represents
that it is duly authorized to execute this Master Indenture and any Supplemental
Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be accountable for the
use or application by the Issuer or the Seller of the proceeds of any of the

                                       29
<PAGE>

Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the
provisions of this Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture;

     (j) unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any order, certificate,
notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer or the
Servicer made or given by either of them under any provision of the Indenture
shall be sufficient if signed by any officer, director or attorney-in-fact of
the Issuer, the Servicer or the Parent, as the case may be; and

     (k) Each of the Paying Agents shall be obliged to perform such duties, and
only such duties, as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or
obligations shall be read into the Indenture against it. In acting hereunder and
in connection with the Notes of each Series, each Paying Agent shall act solely
as agent of the Issuer and shall not thereby assume any obligations toward, or
relationship of agency or trust for, any of the Noteholders.

     Section 17. Limited Recourse to the Issuer.

     Each party hereto hereby agrees that the Issuer's obligations hereunder
shall be limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, with recourse being limited
to the Collateral. None of the directors, shareholders, officers, employees or
agents of the Issuer shall be personally liable to make any payments on such
obligations. The Issuer will have no material assets available for payments on
such obligations other than the assets comprising the Collateral. After the
Collateral has been fully realized and exhausted (including all rights against
the Company in connection therewith), all sums due but still unpaid in respect
of the Issuer's obligations hereunder shall be extinguished, and the other
parties hereto shall not have the right to proceed against the Issuer or any of
its directors, shareholders, officers, employees or agents for the satisfaction
of any monetary claim or for any deficiency judgment remaining after foreclosure
of any property included in the Collateral. No party hereto (or any agent on
their behalf) may seek to enforce rights against the Issuer with respect to any
obligations of the Issuer hereunder by applying to wind up the Issuer.

     Section 18. Notices.

     Unless otherwise stated herein, all notices, requests and other
communications to any party hereunder or under any indenture supplemental hereto

forth herein or therein, as the case may be, or such other address or facsimile
transmission number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by
notice to the other party. Each such notice, request or other communication
shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when such facsimile
is transmitted to the facsimile transmission number specified in or pursuant to
this Section 18 and, on the same day, a copy of such notice is sent by express
courier that customarily obtains a receipt, (ii) three Business Days after being
sent by express courier that customarily obtains a receipt or (iii) if given by
any other means, when delivered against receipt at the address specified in or

     Section 19. Resignation of Trustee or Paying Agents; Successor Trustees or
Paying Agents.

     (a) The Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller and the Parent agree, that, until
the Indenture has terminated and no Note is outstanding or until moneys for the
payment of all amounts due on all outstanding Notes of each Series, plus any
additional amounts or interest on overdue amounts which may be due and owing
under the Indenture or the Notes of each Series or the other Note Documents or
the Transaction Documents, shall have been made available at the office of the
Trustee and unclaimed amounts, if any, shall have been returned to the Issuer as
provided in the Notes, there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder, which
shall be a bank or trust company (i) having capital and surplus of at least
US$250,000,000 (as shown on its most recent publicly available financial
statements or certified by such bank or trust company to the Issuer, the Seller,
the Parent and the Servicer); (ii) authorized under the laws of its jurisdiction
of organization to exercise corporate trust powers and such other powers as are
necessary to perform the obligations of the Trustee under the provisions of the
Indenture, the Parent Guarantee, the Security Agreement and the Notes and (iii)
whose long-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least "A-" by Standard &
Poor's and "A-3" by Moody's. The Enhancer, if the Controlling Party with respect
to a Series, or otherwise the Noteholders holding a Majority in Interest of the
Notes of all other Series at such time outstanding may terminate the appointment
of the Trustee, at any time, with or without cause, and, provided that no Early
Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, the Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Trustee at any time,
in each case by giving to the Trustee at least 60 days' written notice to that
effect; provided always that so long as any of the Notes of any Series are
outstanding (i) no such notice shall take effect until a new Trustee has been
appointed and has accepted such appointment, and (ii) the effective date of such
termination may not occur within 10 days before or after a Payment Date nor
during an Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event. The
Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer and the Parent with the prior written consent
of any Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes may terminate the
appointment at any time of any or all of the Paying Agents, with or without
cause; provided, however, that the Issuer shall ensure that there is at all
times at least one Paying Agent in Europe

                                       32
<PAGE>

and, if and for so long as any Series of Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, in Luxembourg.

     So long as a Note of any Series shall be outstanding and so long as all
amounts payable under this Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture
remains unpaid, all notices required to be sent to any party hereto or to the
related Supplemental Indenture shall also be given to any Enhancer with respect
thereto and to each Rating Agency that has provided and continues to provide a
rating for the Notes of such Series.

     (b) The Trustee and any Paying Agent may at any time resign from such
capacities by written notice, mailed to the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes and the Parent
specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective;
provided, however, that such date shall never be less than 60 days after the
receipt of such notice by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Enhancer, if
any, with respect to any Series of Notes and the Parent unless it has been
agreed to accept less notice.

     (c) Any resignation or removal pursuant to Section 19(a) or 19(b) hereof
shall take effect upon the later of (i) the effective date of such resignation
or removal and (ii) the appointment by the Issuer and the Servicer, as
hereinafter provided, of a successor Trustee or Paying Agent (if such Paying
Agent is one required to be maintained pursuant to Section 19(a) hereof) and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor. If a successor Trustee does
not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Enhancer, if any, with
respect to any Series of Notes and the Parent, or the holders of at least 10% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all Series at such time
outstanding may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee. Upon its resignation or removal, the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its
compensation and indemnification for the services rendered hereunder and to the
reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, counsel fees and expenses, if any) incurred in connection with the
services rendered by it hereunder.

     (d) If at any time the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall resign, or be
removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or a petition in bankruptcy shall
be filed by or against it or any proceeding shall be commenced by or against the
Trustee or the Paying Agent under any bankruptcy or similar law for the relief
or reorganization of it or for the composition, extension or re-adjustment of
any obligations of such Trustee or any Paying Agent, or such Trustee or Paying
Agent shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consent to
the appointment of a receiver of it or of all or any substantial part of its
property or a receiver of it or of all or any substantial part of its property
is appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of it or if
its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a successor Trustee or Paying Agent qualified as aforesaid shall
promptly be appointed by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent and
any Enhancer by an instrument in writing filed with the successor Trustee or
Paying Agent (if such Paying Agent is one required to be maintained pursuant to
Section 19(a) hereof). If no successor Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may
be, shall have been so appointed and have accepted such appointment within 60
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or
Paying Agent, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of such successor

                                       33
<PAGE>

or may itself, on behalf of each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Parent and any
Enhancer as its attorney-in-fact appoint such successor; provided, however, that
such successor Trustee or Paying Agent is qualified as aforesaid.

     (e) Any successor Trustee or Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Seller, the Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes
and the Parent, an instrument accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon
such successor Trustee or Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts,
immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if
originally named as Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor,
upon payment of its compensation and reimbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon
become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Trustee
or Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, securities or other
property on deposit with or held by, or any records relating to the Notes
maintained by, such predecessor as Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder.

     (f) Any corporation or bank into which any Trustee or Paying Agent
hereunder may be merged or converted, or any corporation or bank with which any
Trustee or Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation or bank
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Trustee or
Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or bank to which any Trustee
or Paying Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business, provided, however, in the case of the Trustee, that it
shall be qualified as set forth in Section 19(a) hereof, shall be a successor
Trustee or Paying Agent under this Master Indenture and each Supplemental
Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto.

     (g) The Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller and the Parent may appoint such
additional registrars and Paying Agents by an instrument in writing filed with
such additional registrars or Paying Agents, as the case may be. Any additional
registrar or Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Enhancer, if any, with
respect to any Series of Notes and the Parent an instrument accepting its
appointment hereunder and shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such
instrument, and thereupon such additional registrar or Paying Agent, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority,
rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of a registrar or
Paying Agent with like effect as if originally named as a registrar or Paying
Agent hereunder.

     Section 20. Governing Law.

     This Master Indenture, each Supplemental Indenture and the Notes of each
Series issued hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the
conflict of laws provisions thereof.

     Section 21. Waiver of Jury Trial.

     EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE COMPANY, THE PARENT, THE COLLECTION AGENT, THE
TRUSTEE AND THE LONDON PAYING AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

                                       34

RELATING TO THIS MASTER INDENTURE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

any Series remain outstanding or any Additional Amount with respect thereto
remains unpaid, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller and the Parent will at all
times have an authorized agent (the "Authorized Agent") in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, upon whom process may be served in any legal
action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Master Indenture, any
Supplemental Indenture, the Notes of any Series, the Collection Agency
Agreement, the Parent Guarantee, the Security Agreement, any Insurance Agreement
or any Enhancement Agreement (the "New York Law Documents") with respect to any
Series of Notes, which may be instituted in any State or Federal Court in the
Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York by the Enhancer, if the
Controlling Party with respect to any Series, or otherwise by any Noteholder for
any other Series or by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Enhancer, if any, with respect to any Series of Notes; and the Issuer, the

may be, at its address set forth in Section 18 hereof.

     Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent or any affiliate of any of
     them shall not be considered outstanding and shall not participate in
     making, giving or taking such action; provided further, however, that in
     determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any

     action made, given or taken by the Enhancer, if the Controlling Party, or
     the Noteholders

     or any specified portion thereof, as applicable, only Notes which a
     Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are held for the account of the
     Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent or any affiliate of any of
     them shall not be considered outstanding.

the Controlling Party with respect to any Series of Notes, or the holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall have requested the
Trustee to call a meeting of the Noteholders to take any action authorized in
Section 23(b) hereof, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the

such Noteholder. If such Noteholder holds Restricted Definitive Notes, such
Noteholder or such holder of a proxy or power of attorney shall present such
Restricted Definitive Notes at the office of the Paying Agent or the Trustee or

modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and will be
conclusive and binding on all such subsequent Noteholders.

     (e) Subject to the control rights of the Controlling Party set forth in
this Section 23, the persons entitled to vote a Majority in Interest of the
Notes of each Series then outstanding shall constitute a quorum and action shall
be taken upon the vote of a Majority in Interest of the Notes so represented. In
the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such
meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than ten days as
determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such
meeting. Subject to the control rights of the Controlling Party set forth in
this Section 23, notice of the first reconvening of such adjourned meeting shall
be given as provided in Section 23(c) hereof except that such notice need be
given not less than five days prior to the date on which such meeting is
scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the first reconvening of an adjourned
meeting shall expressly state that the persons entitled to vote a Majority in
Interest of the Notes then

                                       37
<PAGE>

outstanding shall constitute a quorum at such meeting and action shall be taken
upon the vote of a Majority in Interest at such time outstanding of the Notes so
represented.

     In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for such
first reconvened meeting, such meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less
than ten days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the
adjournment of such first reconvened meeting. Subject to the control rights of
the Controlling Party set forth in this Section 23, notice of the second
reconvening of such meeting shall be given except that such notice need be given
not less than five days prior to the date on which such meeting is scheduled to
be reconvened. The notice of the second reconvening of such meeting shall
expressly state that the persons entitled to vote 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding (excluding for such purpose any Notes held
by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent or any Affiliate of any of
them) shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the
notice of the original meeting.

     Any meeting of the Noteholders at which a quorum is present may be
adjourned from time to time by vote of a Majority in Interest then outstanding
of the Notes represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so
adjourned without further notice. Subject to the control rights of the
Controlling Party set forth in this Section 23, at a meeting or an adjourned
meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid, any
resolution and all matters shall be effectively passed and decided if passed or
decided by the persons entitled to vote a Majority in Interest then outstanding
of the Notes represented and voting at such meeting; provided that such amount
approving such resolution shall be not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding.

     Subject to the control rights of the Controlling Party set forth in this
Section 23, for purposes of determining the Noteholders that are entitled to
make, give or take any requests, demands, authorizations, directions, notices,
consents, waivers or other action under the terms of the Notes, the Note
Documents and the Transaction Documents, any Notes held for the account of the
Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent, any other Subsidiaries of the
Parent or any other Affiliate of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller, the
Parent or such other Subsidiaries shall not be considered outstanding and shall
not participate in making, giving or taking such action if a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee knows that such Notes are so held. Subject to the control rights
of the Controlling Party set forth in this Section 23, in determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any resolution approved at a
meeting or adjourned meeting of Noteholders, only Notes which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee knows are held by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller,
the Parent or any Affiliate of any of them shall be so excluded.

     New Notes so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Issuer to any modification contained in any such amendment shall be prepared by
the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Notes
then outstanding.

     (f) The Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem
advisable for any meeting of the Noteholders in regard to proof of the holding
of Notes and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and
duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters
concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. The Trustee
shall, by

                                       38
<PAGE>

an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless
the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or the Servicer or the
Noteholders as provided above, in which case the Issuer or the Servicer or the
Noteholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of
the meeting shall be elected by vote of the persons entitled to vote a Majority
in Interest of the Notes represented at the meeting. The chairman of the meeting
shall have no right to vote, except as a Noteholder or proxy. A record, at least
in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of the Noteholders shall be
prepared, and one such copy shall be delivered to each of the Issuer and the
Servicer and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Enhancer, if any, for any Series of Notes will be the controlling party for such
Series (the "Controlling Party"), and as such shall have the right to control
the decision making with respect to all of the Notes of such Series, provided,
that with respect to any Series of Notes for which there is no Enhancer, the
Controlling Party shall be the Noteholders of such Series. Such Enhancer shall
be the Controlling Party with respect to the Notes of such Series until all
amounts payable in respect of the Notes of such Series have been fully paid to
the Noteholders thereof and no obligations which are owed to such Enhancer under
the related Insurance Agreement remain outstanding; provided that, if an Insurer
Event under the related Insurance Agreement has occurred and is continuing, then
the Controlling Party of the Notes of such Series shall be the Noteholders
thereof as set forth herein. During such time as an Enhancer is the Controlling
Party of a Series of Notes, no Noteholder or group of Noteholders of such Series
will have any rights whatsoever to exercise any remedies with respect to the
Notes of such Series, the Note Documents or the Transaction Documents. Such
Enhancer as the Controlling Party will have the exclusive right to exercise or
waive any or all remedies that may exist with respect to the Notes of such
Series, the Note Documents and the Transaction Documents. The Enhancer as
Controlling Party shall also exercise the voting rights of all the Noteholders
of such Series on all issues, other than (i) to alter the principal amount of a
Note of such Series or the interest rate thereon, or the seniority thereof, (ii)
to alter the requisite vote needed for amendment or waiver under the Note
Documents or the Transaction Documents, or (iii) to release Collateral.
Amendment of the foregoing items shall require the consent of the Enhancer, if
any, with respect to any Series of Notes as well as 100% of the Noteholders of
such Series of Notes; provided that with respect to any Series of Notes for
which there is no Enhancer, the Controlling Party shall be the Noteholders of
the requisite percentage of Notes of such Series. Except as otherwise provided
herein or in the related Supplemental Indenture, the Controlling Party of each
Series then outstanding shall have the right to direct the Trustee to exercise
any remedy provided for under the Note Documents or the Transaction Documents;
provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any requirements
of law or expose the Trustee to personal liability; (b) the Trustee receives
security or indemnity satisfactory to it in respect of the exercise of any such
remedy; and (c) the Trustee may take any other actions deemed proper by such
Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

     (a) General Covenants of the Issuer and the Seller. Each of the Issuer and
the Seller (as applicable) hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee and the

may request;

as no Early Amortization Event or Accelerated Amortization Event has occurred
and is continuing with respect to a Series of notes, if the Collection Agent
shall have paid into the Accumulation Account funds sufficient to pay on the
next Payment Date the Aggregate Required Amount for all outstanding Series of
notes and upon written instruction from the Servicer, the Secured Parties shall
release from time to time their security interest with respect to amounts paid
into the Collection Account that, as designated in writing by the Servicer and
as verified by the Trustee, are not required to pay the Required Amount for such
Series of

                                       55

Indenture.

Agreement, as supplemented by the related Security Supplement, shall be for the
equal and ratable benefit (based on principal amount then outstanding of Notes
of such Series held) of the Noteholders, such Enhancer, if any, and such other
recipients of Additional Amounts without preference, priority or distinction of
any thereof over any other by reason of difference in time of issuance, sale or
otherwise, as security for the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and the
related Supplemental Indenture and under the Notes of such Series.

and amounts paid into the Collection Account by Customers with respect thereto
and the security interest of the Trustee created by the Master Security
Agreement with respect to Collateral of the Issuer, including Collections
deposited in the Collection Account, shall apply or attach to any such
Receivables or any such amount with respect thereto paid into the Collection
Account only to the extent as provided in this Section 33:

         (i) no such borrowing under any such Bank Loan may be made by the
Issuer at any time when an Early Amortization Event or an Accelerated
Amortization Event (or any event that with the giving of notice or the passage
of time or both would become an Early Amortization Event or an Accelerated
Amortization Event) has occurred and is continuing;

         (ii) in any Collection Period, the Collections committed to
collateralize such Bank Loans may not exceed under any circumstances the lesser

Collection Period and (B) the aggregate amount of the security interests in the
Collections granted to the Banks in respect of outstanding Bank Loans during
such Collection Period; provided that if the maturity of one or more Bank Loans
shall have been accelerated in accordance with its terms during any Collection
Period, all Banks, in the aggregate, shall be entitled in any Collection Period,
to an amount no greater than the lesser of (X) 20% of the Collections deposited
into the Collection Account during such Collection Period and (Y) the aggregate
amount of Collections deposited into the Collection

                                       56

Bank shall receive, first, its debt service due and payable with respect to the
applicable Bank Loans for the current Collection Period and, second, to the
extent applicable, amounts due and payable, pro rata, with respect to the
acceleration of such Bank Loan, if any;

         (iii) no such borrowing under any such Bank Loan may be made by the
Issuer if the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of Collections
deposited into the Collection Account in the six most recent consecutive
Collection Periods (minus the aggregate amount of Collections used to
collateralize any existing or new Bank Loans during the six largest subsequent
collection periods for such Bank Loans) by the number six shall be less than the
product of (x) the Aggregate Required Amounts for the six largest subsequent
Collection Periods divided by the number six and (y) 2.5; and

         (iv) no such borrowing under any such Bank Loan may be made by the
Issuer if the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of Collections
deposited into the Collection Account in the three most recent consecutive
Collection Periods (minus the aggregate amount of Collections used to
collateralize any existing or new Bank Loans during the three largest subsequent
collection periods for such Bank Loans) by the number three shall be less than
the product of (x) the Aggregate Required Amounts for the three largest
subsequent Collection Periods divided by the number three and (y) 2.0.

     For purposes of subparagraphs (iii) and (iv), (A) the amount outstanding
during each such Collection Period of the Euro-denominated Eligible Receivables
generated shall be notionally converted into U.S. dollars at the Euro/U.S.
dollar spot exchange rate displayed on the FXFX Page (or such other page as may
replace such page) as designated on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service at

outstanding during each Collection Period of Other Currency-denominated Eligible
Receivables generated shall be converted notionally into U.S. dollars at the

and any Rating Agency rating any Series of Notes at the time that any Bank Loan
is entered into. Such notice shall contain details with respect to the terms of
such Bank Loan, including the amount of principal and interest to be paid during
each Collection Period and any events permitting acceleration thereunder. In

                        THE 2009 NOTES; PARENT GUARANTEE

     SECTION 2.01. The 2009 Notes. (a) 2009 Notes offered and sold outside the
United States to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions will be sold in
reliance upon Regulation S and shall be issued in the form of interests in a
permanent Global Note substantially in the form set forth in Schedule II (the
"Regulation S Global 2009 Note"). 2009 Notes offered and sold within the United
States will be sold initially and may be resold only to (i) QIBs and (ii)
Institutional Accredited Investors. 2009 Notes offered and sold to QIBs shall be
issued in the form of a permanent Global Note substantially in the form set
forth in Schedule I (the "Restricted Global 2009 Note" and collectively with the
Regulation S Global 2009 Note, the "Global 2009 Notes"). Global 2009 Notes shall
be in fully-registered form and shall be deposited with the Trustee, at its New
York office, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of a
nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided. The principal amount of the Restricted Global
2009 Note and the Regulation S Global 2009 Note may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depositary, or the Depositary or the Depositary's nominee, as
the case may be, as hereinafter provided. 2009 Notes offered and sold to
Institutional Accredited Investors will be delivered only in fully registered,
definitive form. 2009 Notes (i) offered and sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors who are not QIBs or (ii) issued pursuant to Section 2.01 of this First
Supplemental Indenture in exchange for interests in Global 2009 Notes shall be
issued in the form of permanent certificated notes in registered form in
substantially the form set forth in Schedule III (the "Restricted Definitive
2009 Notes").

     Unless and until Restricted Definitive 2009 Notes have been issued to the
Beneficial Owners in respect of Global 2009 Notes pursuant to Section 5(a) of
the Master Indenture:

          (i) The provisions of this Section 2.01 shall be in full force and
          effect;

          (ii) The Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all
          purposes of the Indenture (including the payment of principal of and
          interest on the 2009 Notes and the giving of instructions or
          directions hereunder) as the sole Noteholder and shall have no
          obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

          (iii) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.01 conflict
          with any provisions of the Master Indenture, the provisions of this
          Section 2.01 shall control;

          (iv) The rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through
          the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and
          agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary and/or
          the Participants. Pursuant to the DTC Letter of Representations,
          unless and until Restricted Definitive 2009 Notes are issued in
          respect of Global 2009 Notes pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Master
          Indenture, the Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the
          Participants and

                                       8
<PAGE>

          receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the 2009
          Notes to such Participants; and

          (v) Subject to the rights and the prerogatives of the Controlling
          Party, whenever the Master Indenture or this First Supplemental
          Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon
          instructions or directions of Beneficial Owners evidencing a specified
          percentage of the Principal Balance, the Depositary shall be deemed to
          represent such percentage in respect of the 2009 Notes only to the
          extent that it has received instructions to such effect from
          Beneficial Owners and/or Participants owning or representing,
          respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in
          the 2009 Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

     (b) Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required
under the Agreement, unless and until Restricted Definitive 2009 Notes shall
have been issued in respect of Global 2009 Notes pursuant to Section 5(a) of the
Master Indenture, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the Depositary.

     (c) The 2009 Notes constitute direct, unconditional and collateralized
obligations of the Issuer and shall rank not lower than pari passu in priority
of payment, without preference among themselves, with all of the existing and
future indebtedness of the Issuer. No Series of notes issued pursuant to the
Master Indenture will be senior to the 2009 Notes issued under this First
Supplemental Indenture, in right of payment or will have more than an equal and
ratable security interest with the 2009 Notes in the Receivables.

     (d) Any Restricted Definitive 2009 Note delivered in exchange for an
interest in any Global 2009 Note pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.01
shall, except as otherwise provided in the Master Indenture, bear the applicable
legend regarding transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3(e) of the Master
Indenture.

     SECTION 2.02. Parent Guarantee. Noteholders will have the benefit of an
unconditional and irrevocable guarantee (the "Parent Guarantee"), issued by the
Parent in favor of the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Enhancer, pursuant to which the Parent will unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantee punctual performance of all of the Seller's obligations under each of
the Transaction Documents and Note Documents to which the Seller is a party. The
Parent will be subrogated to the rights of each Noteholder to receive Payments
on its 2009 Notes until all principal, premium, if any, and interest with
respect to the 2009 Notes and any Additional Amounts have been paid in full.

                                  ARTICLE III

                       PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL

     SECTION 3.01. Calculation of Interest. The 2009 Notes will bear interest
from and including the Closing Date to but excluding February 1, 2009 at the
rate of 5.984% per annum on the unpaid principal amount of the 2009 Notes from
time to time outstanding, payable monthly, except with respect to the first
Collection Period, which shall be paid pursuant to the terms of Section 3.01
hereof, in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on the 2009 Notes will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. Therefore,
the amount of interest payable with respect to the 2009 Notes on each Payment
Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (a)(i) the Fixed Rate Coupon
multiplied by (ii) the Principal Balance as of the close of business on the
immediately preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of
principal made to Noteholders on such preceding Payment Date, if any) and (b) a
fraction, the numerator of which is 30 days, and the denominator of which is
360; provided, however, with respect to the first Payment Date, the amount of
interest payable shall be equal to US$3,532,222.22.

     SECTION 3.02. Payments. Payments made with respect to the initial 24
calendar months will consist of interest only. Payments with respect to the
subsequent 60 calendar months will consist of one payment of principal in the
amount of US$3,970,000, followed by 59 equal payments of principal, each in the
amount of US$4,170,000, in each case, together with interest due and payable on
the outstanding principal amount. Each such payment of interest and principal
shall be applied first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the due
and unpaid principal amount of the 2009 Notes. Interest in respect of the
installment of the principal repayable on any date will cease to accrue on the
due date for payment thereof, unless payment of such installment of principal is
improperly withheld or refused or default is otherwise made in respect of
payment thereof. In such event, interest will continue to accrue (after as well
as before any judgment) up to, but excluding, the date on which payment in full
of such installment of principal is made or (if earlier) the seventh day after
notice is duly given to the Noteholder thereof (either in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Master Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture
or individually) that such payment will be made, provided that payment is in
fact made on or before such day.

                                CERTAIN ACCOUNTS

     SECTION 4.01. Paying Agent Account. From and after the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a Paying Agent Account with
respect to the 2009 Notes, not in its own name but rather as Paying Agent for
the benefit of the Noteholders. Such Paying Agent Account shall at all times be
a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account. It is acknowledged and agreed
by the Trustee, the Issuer, the Seller, the Parent and the Servicer that the
Trustee shall have exclusive control over the Paying Agent Account; provided,
however, that (i) the Parent shall be permitted to deposit any amounts due under
the Parent Guarantee directly into the Paying Agent Account and (ii) the
Enhancer shall be permitted to deposit any amounts due under the Enhancement
Agreement directly to the Paying Agent Account.

     SECTION 4.02. Reserve Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee will
establish and maintain with itself a segregated reserve account (the "Reserve
Account") over which the Trustee will have exclusive dominion and control for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer.

     (b) On the Closing Date, the Seller shall either: (i) deposit an amount
equal to the initial Required Reserve Amount for the 2009 Notes or (ii) deliver
to the Trustee an irrevocable standby letter of credit that complies with the
guidelines set forth in Section 4.02(f) below in an amount equal to the initial
Required Reserve Amount. So long as any Note remains outstanding or any
Additional Amount that is due and payable remains unpaid, the Issuer, the Seller
and the Servicer will on each date ensure that the amount on deposit in cash or
represented by a qualifying letter of credit in the Reserve Account is at least
equal to the Required Reserve Amount applicable to such date for the 2009 Notes.

     (c) (i) Amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments, as directed in writing by the Seller (if such investments are
reasonably available for purchase) registered in the name of the Trustee (or in
the name of such nominee or nominees as the Trustee shall direct) for the
benefit of the Enhancer and the Noteholders; provided that, if the Servicer
shall not have directed the Trustee to invest or reinvest any funds on deposit
for more than two Business Days in the Reserve Account, then the Trustee shall
notify the Issuer and the Servicer in writing. All Eligible Investments with
respect to the Reserve Account made during a Collection Period shall mature no
later than one Business Day prior to the Payment Date at the end of such
Collection Period and shall be held until their maturity; provided that if an
Accelerated Amortization Event or an Early Amortization Event shall occur or be
declared and be continuing, (A) the Trustee shall sell or cause to be sold or
otherwise reduce to cash all Eligible Investments then held in the Reserve
Account (without regard to their maturity date) as promptly as practicable but
in no event later than one Business Day prior to the Payment Date thereafter and
(B) thereafter the Trustee shall be instructed by the Seller to make, and shall
make in accordance with such instructions, only Eligible Investments that mature
on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Eligible
Investment is made (unless, in either case, the Collection Agent shall have
otherwise received payment in full of the Adjusted Required Amount).

                                       11
<PAGE>

          (ii) All requests of the Servicer to make Eligible Investments with
          funds deposited to the Reserve Account shall specify the particular
          investments to be made, shall certify that such investments constitute
          Eligible Investments and shall be furnished to the Trustee.

          (iii) The Trustee shall have no responsibility to make or cause to be
          made any Eligible Investments with funds deposited to the Reserve
          Account, unless instructed to do so, from time to time, by the
          Servicer.

          (iv) The Trustee shall follow the requests of the Servicer in
          connection with the exercise of any and all voting and other
          consensual rights pertaining to the Eligible Investments for any
          purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the Indenture; provided
          that the Servicer shall have given the Trustee at least five days'
          prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise any
          such right.

          (v) If any loss is realized upon the maturity, sale or other
          disposition of any Eligible Investment of amounts in the Reserve
          Account, the Trustee shall send a written notice to the Servicer
          demanding the payment of an amount equal to any such loss and
          specifying such amount. The Servicer will, upon demand by the Trustee,
          pay to the Trustee for deposit in the Reserve Account the amount of
          any such loss realized upon the maturity, sale or other disposition of
          any Eligible Investment. The Trustee shall have no liability for any
          loss resulting from any such investment or reinvestment or any sale of
          any Eligible Investments made in respect of the Reserve Account in
          accordance with the terms hereof.

     (d) If,

          (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash on deposit in the Reserve
          Account, (B) the principal amount of a qualifying letter of credit
          used to fund the Reserve Account and (C) the aggregate value of the
          Eligible Investments thereof (valued at their cost of acquisition)
          exceeds the Required Reserve Amount, and

          (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing that is, or would with
          the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, become, an Early
          Amortization Event or an Accelerated Amortization Event,

the Trustee shall transfer, by wire transfer, all such excess to the Issuer, no
later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) in immediately available funds on each
such date that is a Business Day, to the Seller. If on any date such amount is
not at least equal to the Required Reserve Amount, the Seller shall, upon
written notice from the Trustee, deposit the difference into the Reserve Account
within two Business Days. Such excess shall be deemed to be comprised first of
earnings on Eligible Investments and second of other amounts held in the Reserve
Account. The Trustee's determination of whether an event has occurred that with
the passage of time or the

                                       12
<PAGE>

giving of notice, or both, would become an Early Amortization Event or an
Accelerated Amortization Event shall be based solely on its actual knowledge
thereof.

     (e) If on the date that is five Business Days immediately preceding any
Payment Date sufficient funds to pay amounts due and payable with respect to the
2009 Notes on such Payment Date have not been deposited into the Accumulation
Account, the Trustee will apply amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account to the
payment of interest and principal of, and all Additional Amounts allocable to,
the 2009 Notes. The Trustee shall apply such amount in the following priority:

     first, if the Reserve Account contains only cash, the Trustee shall
transfer an amount of cash into the Paying Agent Account with respect to the
2009 Notes such that, when added to the amount allocable to the 2009 Notes in
the Accumulation Account, the total will be equal to the Required Amount for the
2009 Notes with respect to the then-current Collection Period;

     second, if the Reserve Account contains only a qualifying letter of credit,
draw upon that letter of credit and transfer the amount drawn into the Paying
Agent Account such that, when added to the amount allocable to the 2009 Notes in
the Accumulation Account, the total will be equal to the Required Amount for the
2009 Notes with respect to the then-current Collection Period; and

     third, if the Reserve Account contains cash and a qualifying letter of
credit, first transfer cash and then, if necessary, draw on the letter of credit
and transfer the amount drawn into the Paying Agent Account such that, when
added to the amount allocable to the 2009 Notes in the Accumulation Account, the
total will be equal to the Required Amount for the 2009 Notes with respect to
the then-current Collection Period.

Immediately upon making such transfer from the Reserve Account into the Paying
Agent Account, the Trustee will notify the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Parent, the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer of the amount so transferred and if
any such application of funds from the Reserve Account shall cause the balance
of the Reserve Account to fall below the Required Reserve Amount, the Seller
shall, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day
immediately succeeding receipt of such notice, either: (i) deposit an amount of
cash in immediately available funds or (ii) cause the letter of credit, if any,
to be increased such that the available balance in the Reserve Account is at
least equal to the applicable Required Reserve Amount.

          (f) On the first Business Day after the date on which

               (i) all amounts owing in respect of the 2009 Notes and all other
               amounts owing to the Trustee and the Noteholders hereunder or
               under any of the other Transaction Documents shall have been paid
               in full, and after receipt of a written request therefor from the
               Seller, or

               (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) an
               irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a financial
               institution in an amount equal to the amount then required to be
               on deposit in the Reserve Account on

                                       13
<PAGE>

               terms satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer, (B) a
               certificate of the Seller stating that the financial institution
               issuing such letter of credit has been awarded long-term
               unsecured debt obligation ratings of at least A3 and A-, and has
               been awarded short-term unsecured debt obligation ratings of at
               least P-1 and A-1 by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively,
               (C) such other agreements of the Seller and other documents as
               the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer may require, and (D) a copy

                                  NOTEHOLDERS

     SECTION 6.01. Priority of Payment on Payment Dates.

     On the Payment Date related to each Collection Period, provided there has
been no occurrence or declaration of an Early Amortization Event or an
Accelerated Amortization Event, the Trustee shall make payments out of amounts
paid by the Collection Agent from the Collection Account into the Accumulation
Account pursuant to the Collection Agency Agreement and proceeds thereof, if
any, and the Paying Agent shall make payments out of funds on deposit in the
related Paying Agent Account, each as set forth in Section 11(a) of the Master
Indenture.

     SECTION 6.02. Priority of Payment on Payment Dates Following the Occurrence
of an Early Amortization Event.

     Not later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on each Payment Date
following the occurrence and continuation of an Early Amortization Event with
respect to the 2009 Notes, and until such event has been corrected or waived,
the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Enhancer, so long as the
Insurance Agreement remains in full force and effect, will be entitled to
receive, on each Payment Date during the continuation of such Early Amortization
Event, (a) the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the 2009 Notes with
respect to the related Collection Period, plus (b) the scheduled principal
payment, if any, with respect to the 2009 Notes on such Payment Date, plus (c)
two times the amount of the maximum scheduled principal payment with respect to
any subsequent Payment Date for the 2009 Notes. In such event, Collections in
such amount and all other amounts allocable to the 2009 Notes, including all
Additional Amounts, will be transferred by the Collection Agent to the
Accumulation Account and thereafter to the applicable Paying Agent Account for
distribution by the Paying Agent to the Noteholders, the Enhancer and the other
recipients of Additional Amounts on each such Payment Date until such Early
Amortization Event has been cured or until all accrued interest on and all
scheduled principal payments and Additional Amounts with respect to the 2009
Notes have been paid in full. On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent will apply
all amounts on deposit in the Paying Agent Account in the following order of
priority:

     first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due but unpaid to the
Collection Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to the 2009
Notes;

     second, to pay to the Noteholders first, accrued but unpaid interest on the
2009 Notes and then all unpaid scheduled principal of the 2009 Notes on such
Payment Date;

     third, to pay Additional Amounts due and payable to the Enhancer;

     fourth, to pay the remaining unpaid principal of the 2009 Notes as a
prepayment of the last outstanding scheduled maturities of principal until all
principal on the 2009 Notes has been paid in full; and

                                       16
<PAGE>

     fifth, to pay all other Additional Amounts that are outstanding in respect
of the 2009 Notes.

     SECTION 6.03. Priority of Payment on Payment Dates Following the Occurrence
of an Accelerated Amortization Event.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of an Accelerated Amortization Event with respect
to the 2009 Notes, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller and the
Parent shall promptly notify the Collection Agent, the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Parent, the Enhancer, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the
Rating Agencies, as applicable. With respect to the Accelerated Amortization
Event set forth in Section 7.02(m) hereof, the Trustee shall promptly, and with
respect to the Accelerated Amortization Events set forth in Section 7.02(a)
through (l), inclusive, and (n) and (o) hereof, the Trustee shall promptly, upon
receipt of written notice (each, an "Acceleration Notice") from the Enhancer, if
the Controlling Party, or otherwise from the holders of not less than 35% of the
outstanding 2009 Notes, notify the Collection Agent, the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Parent, the Enhancer and the Rating Agencies of: (i) the Adjusted
Required Amount, (ii) the amount then on deposit in the Accumulation Account
allocable to the 2009 Notes and (iii) the amount equal to the difference between
(i) and (ii) above, to be deposited into the Accumulation Account and made
available for payment to the Noteholders. The Seller will be required, not later
than the date that is two Business Days thereafter, to deposit such amount with
respect to the 2009 Notes into the Accumulation Account for the benefit of the
Noteholders the Enhancer, the Trustee and the other recipients of Additional
Amounts, the Trustee shall thereafter cause the Adjusted Required Amount to be
transferred from the Accumulation Account to the Paying Agent Account on or
prior to the Business Day next preceding the related Payment Date. Upon receipt
of notification by the Trustee of the delivery of an Acceleration Notice, the
Collection Agent shall cease to pay any amount deposited into the Collection
Account to or at the direction of the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer as Excess
Collections and shall hold all such funds and any funds subsequently paid into
the Collection Account during the continuation of such Accelerated Amortization
Event, subject to the instruction of the Trustee.

     (b) Any such acceleration of the principal amount of the 2009 Notes based
on delivery of an Acceleration Notice may be waived or reversed by the Enhancer,
if the Controlling Party, or otherwise by the vote of the holders of not less
than 51% of the aggregate principal amount of 2009 Notes at such time
outstanding. All other waivers or decisions to be made by the Controlling Party
or the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be conducted according to the
terms of Section 21 of the Master Indenture. After the occurrence or declaration
of an Accelerated Amortization Event with respect to one or more Series of notes
and until the Adjusted Required Amount with respect to all such Series of notes
is paid in full, the Collection Agent will pay into the Accumulation Account and
the Trustee will distribute all Collections and other amounts held by it based
on each Series' Interest Percentage. On the day the Seller deposits the Adjusted
Required Amount in respect of the 2009 Notes into the Accumulation Account, the
Trustee will distribute such amount to the respective Series' Paying Agent
Account for application to the payment of the Adjusted Required Amount with
respect to the 2009 Notes. If an Adjusted Required Amount is owing in respect of
more than one Series of notes and the Seller pays only a portion of the
aggregate Adjusted Required Amount that is owing with respect to all notes of
such Series, such payment will be allocated ratably among the applicable Series
in

                                       17

<PAGE>

accordance with their respective outstanding Adjusted Required Amounts at the
time of such deposit. At any time after the Trustee has declared an Adjusted
Required Amount with respect to an Accelerated Amortization Event to be due and
payable, the Trustee upon the direction of the Enhancer, if the Controlling
Party, or otherwise the holders of a Majority in Interest of the 2009 Notes by
written notice to the Issuer, the Seller and the Servicer may rescind and annul
such declaration and thereby annul its consequences if: (i) there has been paid
to or deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all Additional
Amounts with respect to notes of any Series then due under the Master Indenture,
this Supplemental Indenture, or any of the Note Documents or the Transaction
Documents and (ii) the Trustee has actual knowledge that all other Accelerated
Amortization Events in respect of notes of each Series have been cured or waived
in writing.

     In any such event the Paying Agent will apply all amounts on deposit in the
Paying Agent Account in the following order of priority:

     first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due but unpaid to the
Collection Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to the 2009
Notes;

     second, to pay to the Noteholders, first accrued but unpaid interest on the
2009 Notes and then all unpaid scheduled principal of the 2009 Notes on such

Noteholders; and

of the 2009 Notes.

Noteholders of record on the Record Date with respect to each Payment Date or
the Redemption Date the amounts to be distributed to such Noteholders pursuant
to this Article VI, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (provided
the Trustee shall have received wire transfer instructions for the 2009 Notes on
or prior to such Record Date). If the Trustee shall not have received such wire
transfer instructions on or prior to such Record Date, Payments will be made by
the Paying Agent by check mailed to such Noteholder's address appearing in the
Register for the 2009 Notes.

each calendar year, beginning with January 31, 2003, the Servicer shall provide

other customary information as is necessary to enable the Noteholders to prepare
their tax returns.

certificate (a "Servicer Optional Redemption Certificate") setting forth the
Redemption Price, including the calculation thereof. The Optional Redemption
Certificate and the Servicer Optional Redemption Certificate shall be delivered
by the Servicer not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date, and shall specify such Redemption Date and all other
information necessary for the Trustee to provide the Enhancer and the holders of
notes of each Series being redeemed notices of such Optional Redemption pursuant
to the terms of the Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively upon the information so furnished by the Servicer in the Optional
Redemption Certificate and shall be under no duty to check the accuracy or
completeness thereof. An Optional Redemption Certificate shall be irrevocable
and, upon delivery to the Trustee and the Seller shall be obligated on behalf of
the Issuer to make the payment or payments to the Trustee referred to therein at
least two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date for deposit by the Trustee
into the Accumulation Account.

     (b) Notice of Optional Redemption shall be given by the Trustee to the
Enhancer and the Noteholders with a copy to the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Parent, the Collection Agent and the Enhancer upon the mailing by
first-class postage prepaid to each Noteholder at the address of such Noteholder
as it appears in the Register not less than 15 days nor more than 30 days prior

     (c) All notices of Optional Redemption provided to the Enhancer and the
Noteholders shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

                                       24
<PAGE>

          (ii) the Redemption Price;

          (iii) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
          and payable upon each such 2009 Note so to be redeemed;

          (iv) if the Issuer is redeeming some but not all of the outstanding
          2009 Notes, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of a
          redeemed 2009 Note, the Noteholder thereof will receive, without
          charge, a new 2009 Note or 2009 Notes in authorized denominations for
          the principal amount, if any, of the 2009 Note remaining unredeemed,
          if any; and

          (v) the place or places where such 2009 Notes so to be redeemed are to
          be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

     (d) Notice of Optional Redemption having been provided to the Enhancer and
the Noteholders as aforesaid, the 2009 Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified. Upon surrender of any such 2009 Notes for redemption in accordance
with such notice, such 2009 Notes shall be paid by the Principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer on the Redemption Date; provided that
moneys sufficient therefor have been deposited with the Trustee for payment to
the Enhancer and the Noteholders.

     SECTION 8.03. Selection of 2009 Notes to Be Redeemed in Part. (a) If the
Issuer chooses to redeem some but not all outstanding 2009 Notes on a Redemption
Date, the Trustee shall select the 2009 Notes to be redeemed in compliance,
based on an opinion of counsel furnished to the Trustee and the Enhancer by the
Servicer not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days prior to the redemption
date, with the requirements of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and on a pro rata
basis, by lot or in another fair and reasonable manner chosen by the Trustee.
The Trustee shall make the selection from the outstanding 2009 Notes not
previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer,
the Servicer, the Seller, the Parent and the Enhancer in writing of the 2009
Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any 2009 Notes selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount of such 2009 Notes to be redeemed. In
the event of a partial redemption by lot, the Trustee shall select the
particular 2009 Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date. The Trustee may select for redemption portions
(equal to the denomination(s) specified for the 2009 Notes) of the principal of
2009 Notes that have denominations larger than a denomination specified for the
2009 Notes, provided that after such partial redemption the remaining principal
amount of such 2009 Note shall be a denomination specified for such 2009 Note.
No holder of any 2009 Note selected for redemption by the Trustee may transfer
such 2009 Note from the date of such selection to the Redemption Date. All
provisions herein relating to redemption of 2009 Notes shall relate, in the case
of any 2009 Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of that 2009 Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

     (b) Upon surrender of a 2009 Note that is to be redeemed in part, the
Issuer shall execute, and upon proper order the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery to such Noteholder at the expense of the Issuer, a
new 2009 Note or 2009 Notes, in any

                                       25
<PAGE>

authorized denominations requested by such Noteholder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the 2009 Note surrendered.

     (c) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Issuer, the Seller, the
Parent, the Enhancer and the Rating Agencies of the aggregate principal amount
of 2009 Notes remaining outstanding, if any, immediately following any
redemption of the 2009 Notes and the Required Amount, if any, with respect
thereto payable on the next Payment Date.

     SECTION 8.04. Rights of Noteholders Following Optional Redemption.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Note Document or
Transaction Document, if an Optional Redemption Certificate has been delivered
to the Trustee by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer and the Seller shall have
furnished to the Issuer and the Issuer shall have paid to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer with respect to any 2009 Notes
surrendered for redemption (i) the Redemption Price and (ii) all other amounts
due with respect to such 2009 Notes under the 2009 Notes, any other Note
Document and any Transaction Document, then neither the Noteholders with respect
to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption nor the Trustee on their behalf
shall any longer be entitled to exercise any of the rights of the Noteholders
with respect to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption other than the rights
of such Noteholders to receive payment of such amounts from the Paying Agents.
The occurrence of an Accelerated Amortization Event whether before or after such
payment by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of such Noteholders and the
Enhancer shall not entitle such Noteholders, the Enhancer or the Trustee on
their behalf after such payment to declare the principal of any 2009 Notes then
outstanding to be due and payable on any date prior to the Redemption Date. The
funds paid to the Trustee shall be used to redeem the 2009 Notes on the
Redemption Date.

     SECTION 8.05. Payments Following Optional Redemption. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 8.02 and 8.04 hereof, the amounts credited by the
Collection Agent to the Accumulation Account pursuant to the Collection Agency
Agreement on the Redemption Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to the
Paying Agent Account for distribution by the Paying Agents on such Redemption
Date in the following order of priority:

     first, to satisfy when due all Additional Amounts due but unpaid to the
Collection Agent, the Trustee and any Paying Agent with respect to any 2009
Notes surrendered for redemption on such Redemption Date;

     second, to pay to the Noteholders, first accrued but unpaid interest and
then all unpaid scheduled principal of the 2009 Notes on such Redemption Date,
in each case with respect to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption;

     third, to pay Additional Amounts due and payable to the Enhancer with
respect to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption on such Redemption Date;

     fourth, to pay the remaining unpaid principal of the 2009 Notes to
Noteholders with respect to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption on such
Redemption Date; and

                                       26
<PAGE>

     fifth, to pay all other Additional Amounts that are outstanding with
respect to any 2009 Notes surrendered for redemption.
