making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.

         (e) The Note issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
the Note shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,

         (h) The preceding provisions of this SECTION 2.4 notwithstanding, the

         SECTION 2.8. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST. The
Note shall accrue interest as provided in the form of the Note set forth in
EXHIBIT A-1, and such interest shall be due and payable on each Settlement Date,
as specified therein. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable
on the Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the
applicable Settlement Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
is registered on the Record Date, either by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to such Person's account as it appears on the Note Register on
such Record Date if (i) such Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar
appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such
Settlement Date and such Holder's Note in the aggregate evidence a denomination
of not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) such Noteholder is the Seller, or an
Affiliate thereof, or if not by check mailed to such Noteholder at the address
of such Noteholder appearing on the Note Register, except that, unless a
Definitive Note has been issued pursuant to SECTION 2.5, with respect to the
Note registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to
such Note on a Settlement Date or on the Final Scheduled Settlement Date, which

         (a) The principal of the Note shall be due and payable in full on the
last day of the third Interest Period after Facility Termination Date as
provided in the form of the Note set forth in EXHIBIT A-1. Notwithstanding the

payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing in the manner and under the circumstances
provided in SECTION 5.2. All principal payments on the Note shall be made pro
rata to the Noteholder entitled thereto. Upon written notice from the Issuer,
the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date preceding the Settlement Date on which the
Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such
Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior
to such final Settlement Date and shall specify that such final installment will
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify
the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such
installment.

         (b) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Note, the
Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to
the extent lawful) at the Note Interest Rate then in effect in any lawful
manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Noteholder on the
immediately following Settlement Date, and if such amount is not paid on such
following Settlement Date, then on a subsequent special record date, which date
shall be at least five Business Days prior to the Settlement Date. The Issuer
shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and Settlement Date,
and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail
to the Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date,
the Settlement Date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

         (c) Promptly following the date on which all principal of and interest
on the Note has been paid in full and the Note has been surrendered to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall, if the Insurer has paid any amount in respect of the
Note under the Note Policy or otherwise which has not been reimbursed to it,
deliver the surrendered Note to the Insurer.

         SECTION 2.9. CANCELLATION. Subject to SECTION 2.8(c), the Note
surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. Subject to SECTION 2.8(c), the
Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Note
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and the Note so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Note canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. Subject to SECTION 2.8(c), the canceled Note may be
held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an
Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; PROVIDED that such Issuer
Order is timely and the Note has not been previously disposed of by the Trustee.

         SECTION 2.10. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. Subject to the terms of the other
Basic Documents and SECTIONS 10.1 AND 11.1, the Trustee shall, on or after the
Termination Date, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate from the
lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the Collection Account any funds
then on deposit in any other Pledged Account. In addition, the Trustee shall
release Ineligible Receivables from the lien created by this Indenture upon any
dividend of such Ineligible Receivables pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall release property from the lien created by
this Indenture pursuant to this SECTION 2.10 only upon receipt of an Issuer
Request accompanied by an Officer's Certificate meeting the applicable
requirements of SECTION 11.1.

         SECTION 2.11. AMOUNT LIMITED; ADVANCES.

         The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Note which may be
authenticated and delivered and Outstanding at any time under this Indenture is
limited to the Maximum Invested Amount.

         On each Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date that is a
Funding Date, and upon the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to (a) the
funding of an Advance and (b) the purchase of Receivables, in each case as set
forth in SECTION 2.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, SECTION 7.02 and
SECTION 7.03 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to
borrow additional funds pursuant to an Advance on such Funding Date in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the Advance Amount with respect to such
Funding Date. Each request by the Issuer for an Advance shall be deemed to be a
certification by the Issuer as to the satisfaction of the conditions specified
in the previous sentence.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Note may be increased
through the funding of the Advances. Each Advance and corresponding Advance
Amount shall be recorded on the grid attached to the Note or in an electronic
file substantially in the same form as such grid. The grid (or such electronic
file) shall show all Advance Amounts and prepayments. The Agent shall be
responsible for maintaining the grid with respect to the Note. Absent manifest
error, all such grid entries (whether manual or in electronic form) shall be
dispositive with respect to the determination of the outstanding principal
amount of the Note. The Note (i) can be funded by Advances on any Funding Date
in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and any higher amount (subject to the Maximum
Invested Amount), and (ii) subject to subsequent Advances pursuant to this
SECTION 2.11, are subject to prepayment in whole or in part, at the option of
the Issuer as provided in Article X herein.

         SECTION 3.1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Issuer will duly
and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Note in accordance with
the terms of the Note and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Issuer will cause to be distributed on each Settlement Date all amounts
deposited in the Note Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement to the Noteholder. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any
Person from a payment to the Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer to the Noteholder for all purposes
of this Indenture.

         SECTION 3.2. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer will maintain
in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where the Note may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or
upon the Issuer in respect of the Note and this Indenture may be served. The
Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders,
notices and demands.

         SECTION 3.3. MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

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

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

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

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 3.4. EXISTENCE. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions
of SECTION 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless
it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the
laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the
Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the
laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the
Note, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the
Trust Estate.

         SECTION 3.5. PROTECTION OF TRUST ESTATE. The Issuer intends the
security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Issuer
Secured Parties to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Estate,
and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor
of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, a first lien on
and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate. The

                                      -12-

Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute
and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing
statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other
instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

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

                  (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and
         the priority thereof) in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the
         Issuer Secured Parties created by this Indenture or carry out more
         effectively the purposes hereof;

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

                  (iv) enforce any of the Collateral;

         rights of the Trustee and the Noteholder in such Trust Estate against
         the claims of all persons and parties; and

                  (vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the
         Trust Estate when due.

execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument
required by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.

         SECTION 3.6. OPINIONS AS TO TRUST ESTATE.

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, the
Agent and the Controlling Party an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the
recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and
any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of
any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to
perfect and make effective the first priority lien and security interest in
favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, created by
this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and
security interest effective.

         SECTION 3.7. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES.

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

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

         (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic

any provision thereof without the consent of the Controlling Party.

actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Funding
Termination Event under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall
promptly notify the Trustee, the Agent, the Insurer and the Rating Agencies
thereof in accordance with SECTION 11.4, and shall specify in such notice the
action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such default. If a Servicer
Termination Event or Funding Termination Event shall arise from the failure of
the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all
reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

         (e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or
observance by the Servicer or the Seller of their respective duties under the
Basic Documents without the prior consent of the Controlling Party.

         payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust
         Estate; or

         SECTION 5.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

         (a) "EVENT OF DEFAULT", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body):

                  (i) default in the payment of any interest on the Note when
         the same becomes due and payable and such default shall continue for a
         period of five days (if no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing) or three days (if an Insurer Default shall have occurred
         and be continuing) (solely for purposes of this clause, a payment on
         the Note funded by the Insurer or from amounts on deposit in the
         Reserve Account shall be deemed to be a payment made by the Issuer); or

                  (ii) default in the payment of the principal of or any
         installment of the principal of the Note when the same becomes due and
         payable and, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be

         (solely for purposes of this clause, a payment on the Note funded from
         amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be deemed to be a
         payment made by the Issuer); or

         have occurred; or

                  (iv) so long as an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing, default in the observance or performance of any covenant or
         agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant
         or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is
         elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), or any
         representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in
         any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in

                                      -19-

         connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material
         respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such
         default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or
         condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was
         incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a
         period of 10 days (or for such longer period, not in excess of 30 days,
         as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default; provided that
         such default is capable of remedy within 30 days or less and the
         Servicer on behalf of the Issuer delivers an Officer's Certificate to
         the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has commenced, or will
         promptly commence and diligently pursue, all reasonable efforts to
         remedy such default) after there shall have been given, by registered
         or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and
         the Trustee by the Agent, a written notice specifying such default or
         incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied
         and stating that such notice is a "NOTICE OF DEFAULT" hereunder; or

                  (v) an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer shall have
         occurred; or

                  (vi) the failure of the Invested Amount to be reduced to zero
         on or prior to the last day of the third Interest Period after the
         Facility Termination Date;

                  (vii) the Invested Amount exceeds the Maximum Invested Amount
         at any time and such condition continues for one Business Day.

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

         SECTION 5.2. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

         (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Note shall become immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued
interest thereon, upon written notice by the Controlling Party. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Controlling Party may
exercise any of the remedies specified in SECTION 5.4. In the event of any
acceleration of the Note by operation of this SECTION 5.2, the Trustee shall
continue to be entitled to make claims under the Note Policy pursuant to the
Sale and Servicing Agreement for Scheduled Payments on the Note. Payments under
the Note Policy following acceleration of the Note shall be applied by the
Trustee:

                           FIRST: on any Settlement Date, to the Noteholder for
                  amounts due and unpaid on the Note for interest; and

                           SECOND: on the Final Scheduled Settlement Date, for
                  amounts due and unpaid on the Note, to the Noteholder, the
                  Noteholder's Principal Distributable Amount together with the
                  Noteholder's Principal Carryover Shortfall, to pay principal
                  of the Note until the outstanding principal amount of the Note
                  has been reduced to zero.

         (b) In the event the Note is accelerated due to an Event of Default,
the Insurer shall have the right (in addition to its obligation to pay Scheduled
Payments on the Note in accordance with the Note Policy), but not the
obligation, to make payments under the Note Policy or otherwise of interest and
principal due on the Note, in whole or in part, on any date or dates following
such acceleration as the Insurer, in its sole discretion, shall elect.

         (c) If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
at any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, a Note Majority, by
written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if the Issuer has paid or deposited with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

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

                  (ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
         the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
         the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

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

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

         SECTION 5.3. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
TRUSTEE.

         (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of
any interest on, or principal of, the Note when the same becomes due and
payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit
of the Noteholder, the whole amount then due and payable on the Note for
principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the
extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon
overdue installments of interest, at the Note Interest Rate and in addition
thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

         (b) Each Issuer Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
appoints the Controlling Party as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such
Issuer Secured Party for so long as such Issuer Secured Party is not the
Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to
do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead
of such Issuer Secured Party such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and
in the name of such Issuer Secured Party under this Indenture (including
specifically under SECTION 5.4) and under the other Basic Documents which such
Issuer Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, desirable or
convenient in such Controlling Party's sole discretion to effect the purposes
contemplated hereunder and under the other Basic Documents and, without
limitation, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, exercise full
right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with
respect to the administration, maintenance or disposition of the Trust Estate.

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

         (d) [RESERVED].

         (e) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Note or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Note, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or

                                      -21-

such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the
Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand
pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

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

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

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

         (f) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee or the
Noteholder allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its
creditors and its property;

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

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

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

         (i) In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the Trustee
shall be held to represent the Noteholder, and it shall not be necessary to make
the Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

         SECTION 5.4. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Controlling Party may do one or more of the following
(subject to SECTION 5.5):

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

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

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

                  (iii) exercise or direct the Trustee to exercise any remedies
         of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action
         to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
         Issuer Secured Parties; and

                  (iv) sell or direct the Trustee to sell the Trust Estate or
         any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more
         public or private sales (including, without limitation, the sale of the
         Collateral in connection with a securitization thereof) called and
         conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that if
         the Trustee is the Controlling Party, the Trustee may not sell or
         otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default
         unless

                           (A) such Event of Default is of the type described in
                  Section 5.1(a)(i) or (a)(ii), or

                           (B) either

                                    (x) the Holder of 100% of the Invested
                           Amount of the Note consents thereto, or

                                    (y) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
                           distributable to the Noteholder are sufficient to
                           discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
                           upon the Note for principal and interest.

         In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to CLAUSE
(Y), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.

         SECTION 5.5. OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE RECEIVABLES. If the Trustee
is the Controlling Party and if the Note has been declared to be due and payable
under SECTION 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but need
not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the
parties hereto and the Noteholder that there be at all times sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Note, and the Trustee shall
take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of
the Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion
of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Trust Estate for such purpose.

         SECTION 5.6. PRIORITIES.

         (a) Following the acceleration of the Note pursuant to SECTION 5.2, the
Available Funds, together with any other amounts on deposit in the Pledged
Accounts, including any money or property collected pursuant to SECTION 5.4 of
this Indenture shall be applied by the Trustee on the related Settlement Date in
the order of priority specified in Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

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

         SECTION 5.7. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of the Note shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

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

                  (ii) the Holder of the Note has made a written request to the
         Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of
         Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

                  (iii) the Holder has offered to the Trustee indemnity
         reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

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

                  (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by a Note Majority;
         and

                  (vi) an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

it being understood and intended that no Holder of the Note shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any Holder of the Note
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any Holder or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

         SECTION 5.8. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF THE NOTEHOLDER TO RECEIVE
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,
the Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in the Note or in this
Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of the Noteholder.

         SECTION 5.9. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Controlling
Party or the Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
the Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholder shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted.

         SECTION 5.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the Noteholder is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

         SECTION 5.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT A WAIVER. No delay or omission of
the Controlling Party or the Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee
or to the Noteholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholder, as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.12. CONTROL BY THE NOTEHOLDER. If the Trustee is the
Controlling Party, the Note Majority shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee with respect to the Note or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee; PROVIDED that

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

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

                  (ii) subject to the express terms of SECTION 5.4, any
         direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be
         by the Holder of the Note representing not less than 100% of the
         Invested Amount of the Note;

                  (iii) if the conditions set forth in SECTION 5.5 have been
         satisfied and the Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to
         such Section, then any direction to the Trustee by the Holder of the
         Note representing less than 100% of the Invested Amount of the Note to
         sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

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

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to SECTION 6.1, the Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder not consenting to such action.

         SECTION 5.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. If an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the
maturity of the Note as provided in SECTION 5.2, a Note Majority may waive any
past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event
of Default (i) in payment of principal of or interest on the Note or (ii) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver, the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholder shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

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

         SECTION 5.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and the Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of
such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a)
any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by the Noteholder
holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Invested Amount of the Note or (c)
any suit instituted by the Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of or interest on the Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note and in this Indenture.

         SECTION 5.15. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power and any right of the
Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

         SECTION 5.16. SUBROGATION. The Trustee shall receive as
attorney-in-fact of the Noteholder any Note Policy Claim Amount from the
Insurer. Any and all Note Policy Claim Amounts disbursed by the Trustee from
claims made under the Note Policy shall not be considered payment by the Issuer
with respect to the Note, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

with respect thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with
respect to the Note, become subrogated to the rights of the recipient of such
payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any
payment with respect to the Note by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Trustee
shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal
with respect to the Note which are then due for payment to the extent of all
payments made by the Insurer, and the Insurer may exercise any option, vote,
right, power or the like with respect to the Note to the extent that it has made
payment pursuant to the Note Policy. To evidence such subrogation, the Note
Registrar shall note the Insurer's rights as subrogee upon the register of the
Noteholder upon receipt from the Insurer of proof of payment by the Insurer of
the Noteholder's Interest Distributable Amount or Noteholder's Principal
Distributable Amount. The foregoing subrogation shall in all cases be subject to
the rights of the Noteholder to receive all Scheduled Payments in respect of the
Note.

         SECTION 5.17. PREFERENCE CLAIMS.

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

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any
proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Trustee has actual
knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a
"Preference Claim") of any payment made with respect to the Note. Each Holder,
by its purchase of the Note, and the Trustee hereby agree that so long as (i) an
Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, (ii) any amounts due
to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement or the other Basic Documents remain
unpaid or (iii) the Note Policy has not expired in accordance with its terms,
the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating
to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim
including, without limitation, (1) the direction of any appeal of any order
relating to any Preference Claim and (2) the posting of any surety, supersedeas
or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but
subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition,
and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.16, the
Insurer shall be subrogated to, and the Noteholder and the Trustee hereby
delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the
Trustee and the Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an
adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection
with any such Preference Claim.

         SECTION 5.18. CONSEQUENCES OF TFC FUNDING TERMINATION EVENT. Upon a
responsible officer of the Issuer having notice or actual knowledge thereof, the
Issuer agrees to give the Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholder, the Agent and
the Rating Agencies prompt written notice of any TFC Funding Termination Event
(as such term is defined in the Insurance Agreement). Upon the occurrence and
continuation of a TFC Funding Termination Event, the Controlling Party may
terminate CPS and TFC as the Servicer and subservicer, respectively, of the TFC
Receivables, and direct the Trustee to sell the TFC Receivables or any portion

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
(including, without limitation, the sale of the TFC Receivables in connection
with a securitization thereof) called and conducted in any manner permitted by
applicable law. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first, to cure
any Borrowing Base Deficiency, second, to reimburse the Trustee for any amounts
to which it is entitled under the Indenture, third, to reimburse the Insurer for
any amounts to which it is entitled under this Agreement, and fourth, any
remaining amounts shall be distributed to CPS.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   ----------

                             THE TRUSTEE; THE AGENT
                             ----------------------

         SECTION 6.1. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

         (h) The Trustee shall permit any representative of the Controlling
Party or the Noteholder, during the Trustee's normal business hours, to examine
all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating
to the Note, to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss the Trustee's
affairs and actions, as such affairs and actions relate to the Trustee's duties
with respect to the Note, with the Trustee's officers and employees responsible
for carrying out the Trustee's duties with respect to the Note.

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

         (j) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, hold the Note
Policy in trust, and will hold any proceeds of any claim on the Note Policy in
trust solely for the use and benefit of the Noteholder.

         (k) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests
created or existing under any Receivable or Financed Vehicle or to impair the
value of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle.

         (l) All information obtained by the Trustee regarding the Obligors and
the Receivables, whether upon the exercise of its rights under this Indenture or
otherwise, shall be maintained by the Trustee in confidence and shall not be
disclosed to any other Person, other than the Trustee's attorneys, accountants
and agents unless such disclosure is required by this Indenture or any
applicable law or regulation.

         SECTION 6.2. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Subject to Sections 6.1 and this
Section 6.2, the Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability to the
Issuer or any Issuer Secured Party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in
reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand,
certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the
Trustee to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate
signatory, and, except to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge to the
contrary or as required pursuant to Section 6.1 the Trustee shall not be
required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.

         (a) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer's Certificate. Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the
Officer's Certificate.

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

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

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

         (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at
the request, order or direction of any of the Holder of the Note or the
Controlling Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless the
Holder of the Note or the Controlling Party shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured),
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture in accordance with
Section 6.1.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 6.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Note and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

         SECTION 6.4. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture, the Trust Estate, the Collateral or the Note, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Note, and it shall not
be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Note or in the Note other
than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 6.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence
thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to the Agent notice of the Default within 30 days after such
knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on the Note (including payments pursuant to the
mandatory redemption provisions of the Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Noteholder.

         SECTION 6.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO THE NOTEHOLDER. The Trustee shall on
behalf of the Issuer deliver to the Noteholder such information as may be
reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its Federal and state
income tax returns.

         SECTION 6.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

         (a) Pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services.
The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee, pursuant to
Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall or shall
cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee without willful misfeasance, negligence or
bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection therewith. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the
Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of
its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XII
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee may have separate counsel and
the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to pay the reasonable fees and

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

         (b) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(v) with
respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything
else set forth in this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, the recourse of
the Trustee hereunder and under the other Basic Documents shall be to the Trust
Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the other assets of the
Issuer or the assets of the Noteholder.

         SECTION 6.8. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Issuer may, with the consent
of the Controlling Party, and at the request of the Controlling Party, shall
remove the Trustee if:

                  (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 or the
         Trustee fails to perform any other material covenant or agreement of
         the Trustee set forth in the Basic Documents to which the Trustee is a
         party and such failure continues for 45 days after written notice of
         such failure from the Controlling Party;

                  (ii) an Insolvency Event with respect to the Trustee occurs;
         or

                  (iii) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee, the Agent, Insurer (provided that no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Issuer,
whereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture, subject to satisfaction of
the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to the Agent. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or a
Note Majority may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
pursuant to SECTION 6.8.

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's obligations under SECTION 6.7 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

         SECTION 6.9. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee. The Trustee shall provide the Rating
Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

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

         SECTION 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.

         (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee with
the consent of the Controlling Party shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for
the benefit of the Noteholder, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice
to the Agent of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required under Section 6.8 hereof.

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

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

                  (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
         of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts
         or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

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

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

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 6.11. ELIGIBILITY: DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities; and having a rating, both with
respect to long-term and short-term unsecured obligations, of not less than
investment grade by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee shall provide copies of
such reports to the Insurer and the Agent upon request.

         SECTION 6.12. [RESERVED].

         SECTION 6.13. APPOINTMENT AND POWERS. . Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each of the Issuer Secured Parties hereby appoints Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as the Trustee with respect to the Collateral,
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to act as Trustee with respect to the Collateral for the Issuer Secured
Parties, to maintain custody and possession of such Collateral (except as
otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents.
Each Issuer Secured Party hereby authorizes the Trustee to take such action on
its behalf, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges
hereunder, as the Controlling Party may direct and as are specifically
authorized to be exercised by the Trustee by the terms hereof, together with
such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Trustee shall act upon and in compliance with the
written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered pursuant to this
Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that
the Trustee shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i) which are not
authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this Indenture, (ii) which
are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which
the Trustee has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such instructions
shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trustee of its express duties
hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the Trustee is permitted to
act only following and in accordance with such instructions.

         SECTION 6.14. PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES. The Trustee shall have no duties
or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the
other Basic Documents to which the Trustee is a party or as directed by the
Controlling Party in accordance with this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be
required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written
direction of the Controlling Party and as provided in Section 5.12. The Trustee
shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the duties and obligations
required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 6.15. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Neither the Trustee nor any of
its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them in good faith hereunder, or in connection
herewith, except that the Trustee shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall incur no liability to the Issuer or the Issuer Secured Parties
for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee in connection with the
Collateral, except for the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the
part of the Trustee, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer
Secured Parties except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
carrying out its duties to the Issuer Secured Parties. The Trustee shall at all
times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but
shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of
facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy
hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents. The Trustee may consult with
counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written advice of such
counsel. The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the
remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to follow any
direction from the Controlling Party unless it shall have received reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it.

         SECTION 6.16. [RESERVED].

         SECTION 6.17. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.

         (a) MERGER. Any Person into which the Trustee may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole,
or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or
transfer to which the Trustee is a party, shall (provided it is otherwise
qualified to serve as the Trustee hereunder) be and become a successor Trustee
hereunder and be vested with all of the title to and interest in the Collateral
and all of the trusts, powers, descriptions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument
or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any,
that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the
security interest of the Issuer Secured Parties in the Collateral; provided that
any such successor shall also be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9.

         (b) REMOVAL. The Trustee may be removed by the Controlling Party at any
time, with or without cause, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in
writing delivered to the Trustee, the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer.
A temporary successor may be removed at any time to allow a successor Trustee to
be appointed pursuant to subsection (c) below. Any removal pursuant to the
provisions of this subsection (b) shall take effect only upon the date which is
the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Trustee
and the acceptance in writing by such successor Trustee of such appointment and
of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and (ii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect described in Section 3.4.

         (c) ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR. The Controlling Party shall have the sole
right to appoint each successor Trustee. Every temporary or permanent successor
Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor and to the Trustee, each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an
instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant
predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and
instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor
Trustee, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless,
on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or the Issuer, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates,
properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that
any instrument in writing from the Issuer or an Issuer Secured Party is
reasonably required by a successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations
vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trustee, any and all such
written instruments shall at the request of the temporary or permanent successor
Trustee, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Trustee or the
Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trustee and the
instrument or instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a successor
hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be
maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent
required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trustee in each
place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the
Collateral to the successor Trustee or to protect or continue the perfection of
the security interests granted hereunder.

         SECTION 6.18. [RESERVED].

         SECTION 6.19. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRUSTEE. The

this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and the
performance by the Trustee of its duties hereunder and thereunder, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings and no further approvals
or filings, including any governmental approvals, are required for the valid
execution and delivery by the Trustee, or the performance by the Trustee, of
this Indenture and such other Basic Documents.

         (d) Valid and Binding Indenture. The Trustee has duly executed and
delivered this Indenture and each other Basic Document to which it is a party,

availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of
general applicability.

         SECTION 6.20. WAIVER OF SETOFFS. The Trustee hereby expressly waives

accordance with the provisions hereof.

         SECTION 6.21. CONTROL BY THE CONTROLLING PARTY. The Trustee shall
comply with notices and instructions given by the Issuer only if accompanied by
the written consent of the Controlling Party, except that if any Event of

comply with notices and instructions given by the Controlling Party alone in the
place and stead of the Issuer.

         SECTION 6.22. AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. For so long as Paradigm Funding
LLC is the Noteholder, the Agent (or its designees) has been appointed and
authorized to take such action as agent on the Noteholder's behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Indenture as are delegated to the Noteholder by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent shall also act on behalf of the Majority Program Support
Providers.

         SECTION 6.23. AGENT'S RELIANCE, ETC. The Agent and its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Basic
Documents except for its or their own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may

this Indenture by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone if

         SECTION 8.1. COLLECTION OF MONEY. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall
receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any
fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or
receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in
this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if
any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any
agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Any such
action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of
Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in
Article V.

         SECTION 8.2. RELEASE OF TRUST ESTATE. Subject to the payment of its
fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Trustee may, and when required by
the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property
from the lien of this Indenture, in a manner and under circumstances that are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be
bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

         (a) The Trustee shall, at such time as there is no Note outstanding and
all sums due the Insurer under any of the Basic Documents are satisfied as
evidenced by a certificate of the Insurer and all sums due the Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.7 have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate
that secured the Note from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer
or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Pledged
Accounts. The Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture
pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and a certificate by the Insurer.

         (b) Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall receive at least seven days'
notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section
8.2(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Trustee shall
also require as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such
action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that
all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with
and such action will not materially and adversely affect the security for the
Note or the rights of the Noteholder and the other Issuer Secured Parties in
contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such
Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair
value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without
independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or
other instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action.

indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holder of the
Note under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Noteholder.

         (a) The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order,
also may, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of

         thereof;

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

                  (iv) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the

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

                  (vii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such
         manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of
         interest or principal due on the Note on any Settlement Date (including
         the calculation of any of the individual components of such
         calculation) or to affect the rights of the Noteholder to the benefit
         of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Note contained
         herein; or

                  (viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on
         a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of
         the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
         herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of this
         Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
         Holder of the Note of the security provided by the lien of this
         Indenture.

         (b) The Trustee may determine whether or not the Note would be affected
by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive
upon the Holder of the Note, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination
made in good faith.

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

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

         SECTION 9.3. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to

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

shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the Note affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of
the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holder of the Note shall thereafter be

                        --------------------------------

         SECTION 10.1. REPAYMENT OF THE NOTE. The Issuer shall repay the
Invested Amount of the Note (i) following the Facility Termination Date, in full
on or prior to the last day of the third Interest Period after such Facility
Termination Date or (ii) in full, or in part, by a prepayment made on any
Business Day (such day the "Prepayment Date") in accordance with Section 10.2.
Simultaneous with any prepayment, the Issuer shall pay all accrued and unpaid
interest on the Invested Amount to be prepaid and shall, unless otherwise agreed
by the Insurer in writing, pay any accrued and unpaid Insurer Secured
Obligations at such time.

         SECTION 10.2. NOTICE OF PREPAYMENT.

         (a) Notice of the prepayment of the Note shall be given, upon the
direction of the Issuer, by the Trustee by facsimile transmission, courier or
first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed, faxed or couriered not less than 15
days prior to the related Prepayment Date, to the Noteholder, the Agent and to
the Insurer. All notices of prepayment shall state (i) the Prepayment Date, (ii)
the Invested Amount to be prepaid, including an itemization of each Advance to
be prepaid; and (iii) the prepayment price.

         Failure to give notice of prepayment, or any defect therein, to any
Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of such prepayment.
Any prepayment pursuant to Section 10.1(ii) shall be subject to the payment of
any amounts required by the Agent resulting from a prepayment or repayment of
the Invested Amount of the Note on a date other than a Settlement Date.

         (b) Not less than 5 days prior to the related Prepayment Date, the
Controlling Party and the Agent shall receive directly from the Issuer, or from
the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, a certificate presenting, on a pro forma
basis, the effect of the prepayment and any sale of Receivables by the Issuer
related to such prepayment. The certificate shall be substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit B."

         SECTION 10.3. GENERAL PROCEDURES. The Invested Amount of the Note shall
not be considered reduced by any allocation, setting aside or distribution of
any portion of the Available Funds unless such Available Funds shall have been
actually delivered to the Agent for the purpose of paying such principal. The
Invested Amount of the Note shall not be considered repaid by any distribution
of any portion of the Available Funds if at any time such distribution is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason, in which event, if such
amount has been returned by the Noteholder or the Agent, such principal and/or
interest shall be reinstated in an amount equal to the amount returned by the
Agent or Noteholder, as the case may be. No provision of this Indenture shall
require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law.

                                  -------------

         SECTION 11.1. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC.

         (a) Except as set forth herein, upon any application or request by the
Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture
(other than any request hereunder by the Issuer for an Advance), the Issuer
shall furnish to the Trustee, the Agent and to the Insurer (i) an Officer's
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

         Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

                  (i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or
         opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition
         and the definitions herein relating thereto;

                  (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
         examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
         contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

                  (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory,
         such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is
         necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to
         whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

                  (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
         signatory such condition or covenant has been complied with.

         (b) Other than with respect to Dollars, prior to the deposit of any
Collateral or other property or securities with the Trustee that is to be made
the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of
this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in
Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trustee, the
Agent and the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default is continuing) an Officer's
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (on the date of such deposit) to the Issuer of
the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

         (c) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee, the
Agent or the Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion
of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (b) above, the
Issuer shall also deliver to the Trustee, the Agent or the Insurer, as
applicable, an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value
to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such
securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the
commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the
certificates delivered pursuant to clause (b) above and this clause (c) is 10%
or more of the Invested Amount of the Note, but such a certificate need not be
furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof
to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than
$25,000 or less than 1% of the Invested Amount of the Note.

         (d) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivables
or Liquidated Receivables or the release of any Receivables upon a mandatory or
partial prepayment of the Note pursuant to Section 10.1, whenever any property
or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall also furnish to the Trustee, the Agent and the Insurer an Officer's
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the
property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion
of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this
Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

         (e) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee, the
Agent or the Insurer an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion
of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (d) above, the
Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee and the Insurer an Independent
Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or
securities and of all other property other than Purchased Receivables and
Liquidated Receivables, securities or Receivables released from the lien of this
Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth
in the certificates required by clause (d) above and this clause (e), equals 10%
or more of the Invested Amount of the Note, but such certificate need not be
furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value
thereof as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000
or less than 1 % of the then Invested Amount of the Note.

         (f) Notwithstanding Section 2.10 or any provision of this Section, the
Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as
and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash
payments out of the Pledged Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required
by the Basic Documents.

         SECTION 11.2. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.3. ACTS OF THE NOTEHOLDER. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholder may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
the Noteholder in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Noteholder signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.

         (a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee.

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

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

AGENCIES.

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

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

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

any provision of this Indenture or the Note to the contrary, the Issuer may
enter into any agreement with the Holder of the Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that
is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments
or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the
Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause
payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

         SECTION 11.7. [Reserved]

This Note is the duly authorized Note of the Issuer, designated as its Variable
Funding Note (herein called the "NOTE"), issued under (i) the Indenture, dated
as of March 7, 2002 (such Indenture, as the same may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, is
herein called the "INDENTURE"), among the Issuer, WestLB AG, acting through its
New York Branch, as agent (the "AGENT") and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which
term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and
the Note Purchaser. The Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms
used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, shall
have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified.

"Settlement Date" means, with respect to each Accrual Period, the 15th day of
the following calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately following Business Day, commencing on April 15, 2002.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due
and payable on the Final Scheduled Settlement Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Funding Termination Event, Insurance Agreement Event of Default
or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing then, in certain
circumstances, principal on the Note may be paid earlier, as described in the
Indenture.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Settlement Date,
together with the installment of principal then due, if any, and any payments of
principal made on any Business Day in respect of any prepayments, to the extent
not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Holder
of record of this Note (or any predecessor Note) on the Note Register as of the
close of business on each Record Date. Any reduction in the principal amount of
this Note (or any predecessor Note) effected by any payments made on any date
shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not noted thereon. Final payment of principal (together with
any accrued and unpaid interest) on this Note will be paid to the Noteholder
only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office
for cancellation by the Trustee.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Note
Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Note of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be
required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or
exchange.

The Noteholder, by acceptance of the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse
may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the
Trustee, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Agent on the Note or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,

individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or
(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of
the Trustee, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Agent in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Agent or the
Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Trustee or the Agent in its

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

individual capacity, except (a) as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and (b) any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing
contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against,
the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note, subject to SECTION 6.7
of the Indenture.

The Noteholder, by acceptance of the Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not institute

with any obligations relating to the Note, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name the Note (as of the day of determination or as of such
other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not the Note be overdue, and neither the
Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

It is the intent of the Issuer and the Noteholder that, for Federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes, the Note will evidence indebtedness of
the Issuer secured by the Collateral. The Noteholder, by the acceptance of the
Note, agrees to treat the Note for Federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

The Indenture permits in certain circumstances, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holder of the Note under the
Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holder of the Note.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holder of Note to waive
compliance by the Issuer with certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of the Note (or any
predecessor Note) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of the Note and of the Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon the Note.

The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and
conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holder of the
Note.

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

The Note is issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the
Indenture, subject to certain limitations set forth therein.

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

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the Note at the
times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed, subject
to any duty of the Issuer to deduct or withhold any amounts as required by law,
including any applicable U.S. withholding taxes.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in
the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any
of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall

                                      -50-

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

         power and right to Transfer such Note free and clear from any and all
         claims and encumbrances;

                  b) the Transferor understands that the Note have not been

         qualification of the Note pursuant to the 1933 Act or any state
         securities laws.

                             NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of November 30, 2004 (as
amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in
accordance with the terms hereof, this "AGREEMENT"), is made among CPS WAREHOUSE
TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the "ISSUER"), CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES,
INC., a California corporation ("CPS" or the "SERVICER"), Paradigm Funding LLC,
a Delaware corporation ("PARADIGM"), and WESTLB AG (f/k/a WESTDEUTSCHE

Note Purchaser (in such capacity, together with any successors in such capacity,
the "COMMITTED NOTE PURCHASER")and as agent for Paradigm, the Secured Parties
and the Committed Note Purchaser (in such capacity, together with any successors
in such capacity, the "AGENT").

                                   BACKGROUND

                  1. The Issuer, the Servicer, Paradigm, the Committed Note
Purchaser and the Agent (the "AMENDING PARTIES") entered into that Note Purchase
Agreement dated as of March 7, 2002 (as the same was amended, supplemented,
restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof, the "ORIGINAL AGREEMENT").

                  2. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the
Original Agreement, the Issuer, the Agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association ("WELLS FARGO"), as successor-by-merger to Wells Fargo Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as successor-in-interest to Bank One Trust
Company, N.A., as trustee (together with its successors in trust thereunder as
provided in the Indenture referred to below, the "TRUSTEE"), entered into the
Indenture, dated as of March 7, 2002 (the "ORIGINAL INDENTURE"), pursuant to
which the Issuer issued its Variable Funding Note (the "NOTE").

                  3. The security for the Note includes retail installment sale
contracts secured by the new and used automobiles, vans, minivans and light
trucks (the "RECEIVABLES") that were pledged by the Issuer to the Trustee
pursuant to the Original Indenture. The holder of the Note also has the benefit
of a financial guarantee insurance policy (the "NOTE POLICY") issued by XL
Capital Assurance Inc. ("XLCA").

                  4. The Issuer from time to time acquired pools of Receivables
from CPS pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2002
(the "ORIGINAL SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"), among the Issuer, as purchaser,
CPS, as seller and servicer (in such capacities, the "SELLER" and the
"SERVICER," respectively), Systems & Services Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as back-up servicer (in such capacity, the "BACK-UP SERVICER"), and
Wells Fargo, as successor-by-merger to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as successor-in-interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as
standby servicer (in such capacity, the "STANDBY SERVICER") and Trustee.

                  5. Pursuant to the Original Indenture and the Original
Agreement the Issuer issued the Note in favor of Paradigm and obtained the
agreement of Paradigm to make loans from time to time (each, an "ADVANCE") for
the purchase of Invested Amounts, all of which Advances are evidenced by the
Note purchased in connection with execution and delivery of the Original
Agreement.

                  6. The Trustee, the Agent and the Issuer are amending and
restating the Original Indenture pursuant to that Amended and Restated Indenture
dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented,
restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof, the "INDENTURE") and the parties to the Original Sale and Servicing
Agreement (other than the Backup Servicer) are amending and restating the
Original Sale and Servicing Agreement pursuant to that Amended and Restated Sale
and Servicing Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be
amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in
accordance with the terms thereof, the "SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT").

<PAGE>

                  7. The Amending Parties now desire to amend and restate the
Original Agreement to reflect the terms upon which Paradigm and the Committed
Note Purchaser will continue to make Advances to the Issuer for the purchase of
Invested Amounts.

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   DEFINITIONS

                  SECTION 1.01 DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement and unless
the context requires a different meaning, capitalized terms used but not defined
herein (including the PREAMBLE and the RECITALS hereto) shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in ANNEX A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In
addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings and the
definitions of such terms are applicable to the singular as well as the plural
form of such terms and to the masculine as well as the feminine and neuter
genders of such terms:

                                   ARTICLE II
                          PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE NOTE

                  SECTION 2.01 THE INITIAL NOTE PURCHASE. On the terms and
conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this
Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set
forth herein and therein, the Issuer shall issue and cause the Trustee to
authenticate and deliver to the Agent, as agent for Paradigm and the Committed
Note Purchaser, the Note on the Closing Date. Such Note shall be dated the
Closing Date, registered in the name of the Agent, as agent for Paradigm, the
Committed Note Purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns and duly
authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

                  SECTION 2.02 ADVANCES. Upon the Issuer's request, delivered in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.03, and the satisfaction of all
conditions precedent thereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Paradigm may and,
if Paradigm determines that it will not make an Advance or any portion of an
Advance, the Committed Note Purchaser shall, to the extent Paradigm does not
make such Advance, make Advances from time to time during the Term; PROVIDED
that no Advance shall be required or permitted to be made on any date if, after
giving effect to such Advance, (a) the Invested Amount would exceed the Maximum
Invested Amount or (b) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would exist. The
proceeds of all Advances on any date shall be deposited into the Principal
Funding Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the
aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding may be increased or
decreased from time to time. Paradigm and the Committed Note Purchaser
acknowledge that the Insurer has the option to purchase the Note under certain
circumstances set forth in the Note Policy. If such option is exercised, upon
receipt of the outstanding "Insured Obligations" (as defined in the Note Policy)
from the Insurer, the holder of the Note shall transfer the Note to the Insurer.

                  SECTION 2.03 ADVANCE PROCEDURES. Whenever the Issuer wishes
Paradigm to make an Advance, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Servicer to)
notify the Agent and the Controlling Party by written notice delivered to the
Agent and the Controlling Party no later than the third Business Day prior to
the proposed Funding Date. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in
each case refer to this Agreement and specify the aggregate amount of the
requested Advance to be made on such date. The Agent shall promptly advise
Paradigm and the Committed Note Purchaser of any notice given pursuant to this
section and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. New
York City time on the proposed Funding Date) notify the Issuer whether Paradigm
or the Committed Note Purchaser has determined to make such Advances. On the
Funding Date, subject to the other conditions set forth herein, in the
Indenture, and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Paradigm or the Committed
Note Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make available to the Issuer the
amount of such Advance by wire transfer in U.S. dollars of such amount in same
day funds to the Principal Funding Account no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the date of such Advance.

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 2.04 THE NOTE. On each date an Advance is funded under
the Note pursuant to the Indenture and on each date the amount of outstanding
Advances thereunder is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of
the Agent shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the
amount of such Advance and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The
Issuer hereby authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of the
Agent to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every
such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be PRIMA
FACIE evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded and shall be
binding on the Issuer absent manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the
event of a discrepancy between the books and records of the Agent and the
records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, such discrepancy
shall be resolved by the Agent and the Trustee.

                  SECTION 2.05 COMMITMENT TERM. The "TERM" of the Commitment
hereunder shall be for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the
Facility Termination Date, or such later date as the Committed Note Purchaser,
Paradigm and the Controlling Party may agree to in writing, in their sole and
absolute discretion.

                  SECTION 2.06 SELECTION OF INTEREST RATES. Following any
assignment by Paradigm to its related liquidity providers pursuant to the
applicable liquidity purchase agreement or to the Committed Note Purchaser
hereunder, the Issuer may elect that Advances accrue interest at the Base Rate
or (if the Issuer gives notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (London Time) on the date
which is two London Business Days prior to the commencement of the related
Eurodollar Interest Period) that such Advances be made as Eurodollar Advances.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                INTEREST AND FEES

                  SECTION 3.01 INTEREST. Each Advance funded or maintained by
Paradigm during any Interest Period (a) through the issuance of commercial paper
shall bear interest at the CP Rate for such Interest Period and (b) through
means other than the issuance of Commercial Paper shall bear interest at (i) the
Base Rate for the related Interest Period or (ii) if the required notice has
been given, the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for the related Eurodollar
Interest Period, in each case except as otherwise provided in the definition of
Eurodollar Interest Period or in SECTION 3.03 or 3.04. Paradigm shall promptly
(but in no event later than the Business Day preceding the next Determination
Date) notify the Issuer and the Servicer of the applicable interest rate for the
Advances as of the first day of each Interest Period.

                  (a) Interest on Advances shall be due and payable on each
Settlement Date in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

                  (b) All computations of interest at the CP Rate and the
Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days and the actual number of days elapsed and all computations of interest at
the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as applicable) day
year and actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of interest or
principal in respect of any Advance shall be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (other than
as provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Period) and such extension
of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest owed.

                  SECTION 3.02 FEES. (a) On March 8, 2002, the Issuer shall pay
to the Agent an up-front fee equal to the product of (x) 0.60% and (y) the
Maximum Invested Amount, along with the Agent's reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including its legal fees.

                  (b) On each Settlement Date on or prior to the Facility
Termination Date, the Issuer shall pay a facility fee equal to (i) the product
of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed
in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360 and (y) 0.25%

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

and (ii) the difference between (a) the Maximum Invested Amount and (b) the
daily average outstanding Invested Amount (the "UNUSED FACILITY FEE") during the
related Interest Period. Such Unused Facility Fee shall be split evenly, on a
pari passu basis, between Paradigm and the Insurer in accordance with the
provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 3.03 EURODOLLAR LENDING UNLAWFUL. If Paradigm, the
Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall reasonably
determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Paradigm and the
Issuer, be conclusive and binding on Paradigm and the Issuer absent manifest
error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any
law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental
Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any such Program Support Provider to
make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to convert any Advance into, the
Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance, the obligation of such Person to make,
continue or maintain or convert any such Advance as the Eurodollar Tranche of
such Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such
Person shall notify Paradigm and the Issuer that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and Paradigm shall immediately convert all Advances
of any such Program Support Provider, as applicable, into the Base Rate Tranche
of such Advance at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with
respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

                  SECTION 3.04 DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If Paradigm, the Committed
Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall have reasonably determined
that:

                  (a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
         relevant Eurodollar Interest Period are not available to all Reference
         Lenders in the relevant market; or

                  (b) by reason of circumstances affecting all Reference
         Lenders' relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining
         the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any
         Advance; or

                  (c) Paradigm, the Committed Note Purchaser or the Majority
         Program Support Providers have notified Paradigm and the Issuer that,
         with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to the
         Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance the Eurodollar Interest Period for
         which has not then commenced, such interest rate will not adequately
         reflect the cost to such Majority Program Support Providers of making,
         funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Tranche of such
         Advance for such Eurodollar Interest Period,

then, upon notice from Paradigm, the Committed Note Purchaser or the Majority
Program Support Providers to Paradigm and the Issuer, the obligations of
Paradigm, the Committed Note Purchaser and all Program Support Providers to make
or continue any Advance as, or to convert any Advances into, the Eurodollar
Tranche of such Advance shall forthwith be suspended until Paradigm shall notify
the Issuer that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

                  SECTION 3.05 INCREASED COSTS, ETC. The Issuer agrees to
reimburse Paradigm and the Committed Note Purchaser and any Program Support
Provider (each, an "AFFECTED PERSON") for an increase in the cost of, or any
reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person,
including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person's capital, in
respect of making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make,
continue or maintain) any Advances as, or of converting (or of its obligation to
convert) any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance that arise in
connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness,
interpretation reinterpretation or phase-in, in each case, after the date
hereof, of any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator
or other Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect to
increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by SECTIONS 3.07 and 3.08,
respectively; PROVIDED, however, that the Issuer shall have no obligation to pay
any such additional amount under this SECTION 3.05 with respect to any day or
days unless any such Affected Person shall have notified Paradigm and the Issuer
of its demand therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which such
Affected Person has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal year
of such Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. Each such demand
shall be provided to Paradigm and the Issuer in writing and shall state, in
reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or
return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Issuer to Paradigm and
by Paradigm directly to such Affected Person within five (5) Business Days of
its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding on Paradigm and the Issuer.

                  SECTION 3.06 FUNDING LOSSES. In the event any Affected Person
shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Affected Person to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal
amount of any Advance as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of
any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance) as a result of:

                  (a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment (for any reason,
         including, without limitation, as a result of the acceleration of the
         maturity of the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance or the assignment
         thereof in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Program
         Support Agreement) of the principal amount of any portion of the
         Eurodollar Tranche on a date other than the scheduled last day of the
         Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto;

                  (b) any Advance not being made as an Advance under the
         Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in
         accordance with the terms contained herein; or

                  (c) any Advance not being continued as, or converted into, an
         Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an
         Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein, or

                  (d) any failure of the Issuer to make a prepayment on the Note
         after notice thereof is delivered pursuant to SECTION 10.1(b) of the
         Indenture.

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to Paradigm and the Issuer,
the Issuer shall pay to Paradigm and Paradigm shall, within five (5) Business
Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Affected Person such amount as
will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such
Affected Person for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall
include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding on Paradigm and the Issuer.

                  SECTION 3.07 INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS. If any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation or reinterpretation or
phase-in, in each case after the date hereof, of any law or regulation,
directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of
law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to
be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected
Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines (in its sole and absolute
discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's capital
as a consequence of its commitment or the Advances made by such Affected Person
is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling
Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance,
then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to
Paradigm and the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to Paradigm and Paradigm shall pay
an incremental commitment fee sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or
such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that neither the Issuer nor Paradigm shall have any obligation to pay any such
additional amount under this SECTION 3.07 with respect to any day or days unless
such Affected Person shall have notified Paradigm and the Issuer of its demand
therefor within forty-five (45) days of the date upon which such Affected Person
has obtained audited information with respect to the fiscal year of such
Affected Person in which such day or days occurred. A statement of such Affected
Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations
thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be
conclusive and binding on Paradigm and the Issuer; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for
accrued amounts due under this SECTION 3.07 prior to such initial payment. In
determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of
averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem
applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.

                  SECTION 3.08 TAXES. All payments by the Issuer of principal
of, and interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder
(including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes,
fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by
any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person, taxes
imposed on or measured by its overall net income, overall receipts or overall
assets and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of any Affected
Person, as the case may be, in which it is organized or is operating or any
political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on or measured by its overall
net income, overall receipts or overall assets or franchise taxes imposed on it
by the jurisdiction of any Affected Person's Domestic Office or Eurodollar
Office, as the case may be, or any political subdivision thereof (such
non-excluded items being called "TAXES"). In the event that any withholding or
deduction from any payment to be made by Paradigm hereunder is required in
respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then
the Issuer will pay to Paradigm and Paradigm will

                  (a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
         required to be so withheld or deducted;

                  (b) promptly forward to the agent for the relevant Affected
         Person an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
         agent for the relevant Affected Person or evidencing such payment to
         such authority; and

                  (c) pay to the agent for the relevant Affected Person such
         additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
         amount actually received by each Affected Person will equal the full
         amount such Affected Person would have received had no such withholding
         or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with
respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent hereunder,
such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and Paradigm will promptly
upon receipt of prior written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such
additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is
necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment
of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the
amount such person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted. Each
Affected Person shall make all reasonable efforts, including transferring its
interest in the Note to another lending office, to avoid the imposition of any
Taxes which would give rise to an additional payment under this SECTION 3.08.

                  If the Issuer fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its
agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Issuer
shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its
agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this SECTION 3.08, a
distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be
deemed a payment by the Issuer.

                  Upon the request of the Issuer, each Affected Person that is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States shall,
prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent
permissible under then current law, execute and deliver to Paradigm and the
Issuer on or about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year
thereafter, one or more (as the Issuer may reasonably request) United States
Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or such other forms or
documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be
applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected
Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Paradigm shall not,
however, be required to pay any increased amount under this SECTION 3.08 to any
Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements
set forth in this paragraph.

                               OTHER PAYMENT TERMS

                  SECTION 4.01 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT. All amounts payable

received after that time will be deemed to have been received on the next

                                    THE AGENT

                  SECTION 5.01 AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. Each Note Purchaser
Party is hereby deemed to have designated and appointed West LB as the Agent
hereunder, and hereby authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of
this Agreement together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with Paradigm, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on
the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for
the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall act
solely as agent for the Secured Parties and does not assume nor shall it be
deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or
for the Issuer or any of its successors or assigns. The Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that
is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The appointment and authority
of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of
the Note and all other amounts owed by the Issuer hereunder and under the
Indenture (the "AGGREGATE UNPAIDS").

                  SECTION 5.02 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

                  SECTION 5.03 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the Agent, the breach of its
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement), or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Issuer contained in this Agreement or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any
failure of the Issuer to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VII. The Agent shall not be
under any obligation to any Note Purchaser Party to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of the Issuer. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Funding Termination Event or potential Funding Termination Event unless the
Agent has received notice from the Issuer or a Note Purchaser Party.

                  SECTION 5.04 RELIANCE. The Agent shall in all cases be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall
in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Paradigm or the Secured
Parties, as applicable, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Secured Parties, provided that unless and until the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking
any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Secured Parties. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of Paradigm or the
Secured Parties, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Secured parties.

                  SECTION 5.05 NON-RELIANCE ON THE AGENT AND OTHER PURCHASERS.
Each Note Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent
hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the
Issuer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Agent. Each Note Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Agent that it
has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Note Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and
creditworthiness of the Issuer and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and, in the case of a Hedge Counterparty, such Hedge Counterparty's
Hedge Agreement.

                  SECTION 5.06 THE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. The Agent
and any of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer as
though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder.

                  SECTION 5.07 SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may, upon 5 days
notice to the Issuer and the Secured Parties, and the Agent will, upon the
direction of Paradigm, resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then
Paradigm, during such 5-day period, shall appoint from among the Secured Parties
a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by Paradigm
during such 5-day period, then effective upon the expiration of such 5-day
period, the Issuer shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids
or under any fee letter delivered in connection herewith directly to the
applicable Note Purchaser Party and for all purposes shall deal directly with
each Note Purchaser Party. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of SECTION 9.05 and this Article V shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Agent under this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  SECTION 6.01 THE ISSUER. The Issuer represents and warrants to
Paradigm and the Committed Note Purchaser that each of its representations and
warranties in the Indenture and the other Basic Documents is true and correct,
as of the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof and as of and
after giving effect to the making of each Advance as if made on and as of the
making of each Advance, and further represents and warrants to such parties, as
of the date hereof and as of and after giving effect to the making of each
Advance, that:

                  (a) The Issuer has been duly organized and is validly existing
         as a statutory trust in good standing under the laws of the State of
         Delaware, and the Issuer has full power and authority (corporate and
         other) necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its
         business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its
         obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and,
         with respect to the Issuer, to cause the Trustee to authorize and issue
         the Note from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement and the
         Indenture;

                  (b) the Issuer is not in violation of its certificate of trust
         or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument to which it
         is a party, the effect of which violation or default would be
         materially adverse to it, to the Receivables or to any of the
         transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the issuance and sale of the
         Note, nor the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this
         Agreement or any Basic Document to which it is a party, nor the
         consummation by the Issuer of any of the transactions contemplated

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

         hereby or by any Basic Document, nor compliance by the Issuer with the
         provisions hereof or thereof, does or will conflict with or result in a
         breach or violation of any term or provision of the certificate of
         trust (or other document of similar import) of the Issuer or conflict

         default under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or
         instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which either of them is
         bound or to which any of the properties of the Issuer is subject, the
         effect of which conflict, breach, violation, acceleration or default
         would be materially adverse to it, the Receivables or any of the
         transactions contemplated hereby or any statute, order or regulation
         applicable to the Issuer of any court, regulatory body, administrative
         agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer, the
         effect of which conflict, breach, violation or default would be
         materially adverse to it, the Receivables or any of the transactions
         contemplated hereby. The Issuer is not a party to, bound by or in
         breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument
         to which it is a party, or subject to or in violation of any statute,
         order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
         agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it that materially
         and adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to materially
         and adversely affect, (i) the ability of the Issuer to perform its
         obligations under this Agreement or any Basic Document or (ii) the
         business, operations, financial condition, properties, assets or
         prospects of the Issuer;

                  (c) there are no actions or proceedings against, or
         investigations of, the Issuer pending, or, to the knowledge of the
         Issuer, threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency
         or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any
         Basic Document or the Note, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
         Note or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement or any Basic Document, (iii) that, if determined
         adversely to the Issuer, could reasonably be expected to materially and
         adversely affect the Receivables or the business, operations, financial
         condition, properties, assets or prospects of the Issuer or the
         validity or enforceability of, or the performance by the Issuer of its
         obligations under, this Agreement, any Basic Document or the Note or
         (iv) seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of
         the Note;

                  (d) immediately prior to each pledge of Receivables by the
         Issuer to the Trustee as contemplated by the Indenture, the Issuer (i)
         had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each such Receivable and
         the other property purported to be pledged by it pursuant to the
         Indenture free and clear of any Lien and (ii) had not assigned to any
         person any of its right, title or interest in such Receivables or
         property.

                  (e) [Reserved].

                  (f) no Funding Termination Event, or event which, with the
         giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a
         Funding Termination Event, has occurred and is continuing;

                  (g) assuming Paradigm or other purchaser of the Note hereunder
         is not purchasing with a view toward further distribution and there has
         been no general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning
         of the Securities Act, the offer and sale of the Note in the manner
         contemplated by this Agreement is a transaction exempt from the
         registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Indenture is
         not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and

                  (h) the Issuer has furnished to the Committed Note Purchaser
         true, accurate and (except as otherwise consented by the Committed Note
         Purchaser) complete copies of all other Basic Documents to which it is
         a party as of the Closing Date, all of which Basic Documents are in
         full force and effect as of the Closing Date and no terms of any such
         agreements or documents have been amended, modified or otherwise waived
         as of such date.

                  SECTION 6.02 SERVICER. The Servicer represents and warrants to

         business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its
         obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents;

                  (b) the Servicer is not in violation of its certificate of
         incorporation or by-laws, respectively, or in default under any
         agreement, indenture or instrument to which it is a party, the effect
         of which violation or default would be materially adverse to it, to the
         Receivables or to any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither
         the issuance and sale of the Note, nor the execution, delivery and
         performance by the Servicer of this Agreement or any Basic Document to
         which it is a party, nor the consummation by the Servicer of any of the
         transactions contemplated hereby or by any Basic Document, nor
         compliance by the Servicer with the provisions hereof or thereof, does
         or will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or
         provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other
         document of similar import) of the Servicer or conflict with, result in

         the Servicer is a party or by which either of them is bound or to which
         any of the properties of the Servicer is subject, the effect of which

         contemplated hereby or any statute, order or regulation applicable to
         the Servicer of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
         governmental body having jurisdiction over the Servicer, the effect of
         which conflict, breach, violation or default would be materially
         adverse to it, the Receivables or any of the transactions contemplated
         hereby. The Servicer is not a party to, bound by or in breach or
         violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which it
         is a party, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or
         regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
         governmental body having jurisdiction over it that materially and
         adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to materially and
         adversely affect, (i) the ability of the Servicer to perform its

         Servicer, threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative
         agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this
         Agreement, any Basic Document or the Note, (ii) seeking to prevent the
         issuance of the Note or the consummation of any of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document, (iii) that, if
         determined adversely to the Servicer, could reasonably be expected to
         materially and adversely affect the Receivables or the business,
         operations, financial condition, properties, assets or prospects of the
         Servicer or the validity or enforceability of, or the performance by
         the Servicer of its obligations under, this Agreement, any Basic
         Document or the Note or (iv) seeking to affect adversely the federal
         income tax attributes of the Note;

                  (d) each representation and warranty made by it in each Basic
         Document to which it is a party (including any representations and
         warranties made by it as Servicer) is true and correct as of the date
         originally made, as of the date hereof as if made on and as of the date
         hereof and as of and after giving effect to the making of each Advance
         as if made on and as of the making of each Advance,

                  (e) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and
         its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the related
         statements of income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flow as

         the schedules and notes thereto) (the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), have
         been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the financial
         position of the Servicer and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
         dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods
         covered thereby subject, in the case of all unaudited statements, to
         normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnotes and other

                  SECTION 6.03 NOTE PURCHASER. Each of Paradigm and the
Committed Note Purchaser represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Servicer,
as of the date hereof (or as of a subsequent date on which a successor or assign
of Paradigm or the Committed Note Purchaser shall become a party hereto), that:

                  (a) it has had an opportunity to discuss the Issuer's and the
         Servicer's business, management and financial affairs, and the terms
         and conditions of the proposed purchase, with the Issuer and the
         Servicer and their respective representatives;

                  (b) it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
         501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and
         has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business
         matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing
         in, and is able and prepared to bear the economic risk of investing in,
         the Note;

                  (c) it is purchasing the Note for its own account, or for the
         account of one or more "accredited investors" within the meaning of
         Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities
         Act that meet the criteria described in SUBSECTION (b) and for which it
         is acting with complete investment discretion, for investment purposes
         only and not with a view to distribution, subject, nevertheless, to the
         understanding that the disposition of its property shall at all times
         be and remain within its control;

                  (d) it understands that the Note has not been and will not be
         registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any applicable
         state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction

         part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Advance; or

                  (ii) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and

the Issuer hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. The indemnity set forth in this SECTION 9.05(b) shall in no
event include indemnification for any Taxes (which indemnification is provided

arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, all as more particularly set
forth in SECTION 13.16 of the Indenture and subject to any retained rights set
forth therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this SECTION 9.10(a) shall

payment from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

Agreement or the Indenture. In the event that the Committed Note Purchaser
(solely in its capacity as such) or Paradigm (solely in its capacity as such)
takes action in violation of this SECTION 9.10(a), the Issuer agrees that it
shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the
filing of such a petition by any such Person against the Issuer or the
commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in
writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom
and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The
provisions of this SECTION 9.10(a) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by the
Committed Note Purchaser or Paradigm in assertion or defense of its claims in
any such proceeding involving the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer under
this Agreement are solely the trust obligations of the Issuer. No recourse shall
be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement,
including the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim
arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any certificateholder,
stockholder, employee, officer, director, affiliate or trustee of the Issuer;
PROVIDED, however, nothing in this SECTION 9.10(a) shall relieve any of the
foregoing Persons from any liability which any such Person may otherwise have
for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In addition, each of
the parties hereto agree that all fees, expenses and other costs payable
hereunder by the Issuer shall be payable only to the extent set forth in SECTION
11.16 of the Indenture and that all other amounts owed to them by the Issuer
shall be payable solely from amounts that become available for payment pursuant
to the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  (b) PARADIGM. Each of the parties hereto (other than Paradigm)
hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is one
year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial
paper notes and other securities issued by Paradigm, institute against, or join
with any other Person in instituting against, Paradigm, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, subject to any
retained rights set forth therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this
SECTION 9.10(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification,
reimbursement or other payment from Paradigm pursuant to this Agreement, the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture. In the event that the Issuer, the
Servicer or the Committed Note Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) takes
action in violation of this SECTION 9.10(b), Paradigm agrees that it shall file
an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of
such a petition by any such Person against Paradigm or the commencement of such
action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take
such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other
defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of
this SECTION 9.10(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing
contained herein shall preclude participation by the Issuer, the Servicer or the
Committed Note Purchaser in assertion or defense of its claims in any such
proceeding involving Paradigm. The obligations of Paradigm under this Agreement
are solely the limited liability company obligations of Paradigm. No recourse
shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement,
including the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim
arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any member, partner,
stockholder, employee, officer, director, affiliate or incorporator of Paradigm;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, nothing in this SECTION 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the
foregoing Persons from any liability which any such Person may otherwise have
for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

                  SECTION 9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

                  SECTION 9.12 JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT
AGAINST ANY OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE
