Indemnifying Party expressly acknowledges its obligation to provide indemnity hereunder. If the
Indemnifying Party gives such notice, (i) such defense shall be conducted by counsel selected by
the Indemnifying Party and approved by the other Party, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (provided, however, that the other Party’s approval shall not be required with
respect to counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party’s insurer); (ii) so long as the
Indemnifying Party is conducting such defense with reasonable diligence, the Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to control said defense and shall not be required to pay the fees or
disbursements of any counsel engaged by the Person seeking indemnification for services rendered
after the Indemnifying Party has given the notice provided for above to the other Party, except if
there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Persons seeking
indemnification with respect to such claim or defense; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have
the right, without the consent of the Person seeking indemnification, to settle such claim, but
only provided that such settlement involves only the payment of money, the Indemnifying Party pays
all amounts due in connection with or by reason of such settlement and, as part thereof, the Person
seeking indemnification is unconditionally released from all liability in respect of such claim.
The Person seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim
being defended by the Indemnifying Party at the expense of the Person seeking indemnification, but
the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control such defense (other than in the event of a
conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Person seeking indemnification with
respect to such claim or defense). In no event shall (i) the Person seeking indemnification settle
any claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party so long as the Indemnifying Party is
conducting the defense thereof in accordance with this Agreement; or (ii) if a claim is covered by
the Indemnifying Party’s liability insurance, take or omit to take any action which would cause the
insurer not to defend such claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof.

     18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to conflicts-of-law principles that would
require the application of any other law.

     19. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute or controversy between the Parties relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereof shall be determined by
arbitration in Cuyahoga County, Ohio by and pursuant to the rules then prevailing of the American
Arbitration Association, other than claims for injunctive relief under Sections 9 or 10. The
arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and judgment may be entered thereon
by any court of competent jurisdiction. The service of any notice, process, motion or

11

 

other document in connection with any arbitration under this Agreement or the enforcement of
any arbitration award hereunder may be effectuated either by personal service upon a Party or by
certified mail duly addressed to it or to its executors, administrators, personal representatives,
next of kin, successors or assigns, at the last known address or addresses of such Party or
Parties.

     20. Survival. The provisions of Sections 9 through 28 shall survive the termination
of the Management Term and the termination of this Agreement to the extent applicable.

     21. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. Neither any failure nor any delay by any
Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of
such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in
part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by each other
Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific
instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to
take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

     22. Execution of Agreement/Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of
which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. This
Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been executed by each of the
Parties and delivered to each other Party. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of
signature pages by facsimile transmission or email transmission confirmed by the recipient shall
constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in
lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile
or by email shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

     23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other
ancillary agreements contain the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the appointment
and designation of Manager.

     24. Severability. In the event that a court or arbitral body of competent
jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement,
which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the application of such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party waives any provision of
law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

     25. Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or
shall be construed to confer upon or give any person other than the Parties and their respective

12

 

successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with
respect to this Agreement.

     26. Headings. Captions, titles and headings to articles, sections or paragraphs of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction

available to the Indenture Trustee ten (10) days prior to each Distribution Date
and at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request the
names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Note Register.

          No sale, pledge or other transfer of a Class A Note shall be made
unless such sale, pledge or other transfer is (A) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) for so long as the Class A
Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A to a Person the transferor
reasonably believes after due inquiry is a "qualified institutional buyer" as
defined in Rule 144A that purchases for its own account or for the account of a
qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (C) pursuant to another available exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities and blue sky laws or is made in accordance with said Act and
state laws. The Indenture Trustee shall require an opinion of counsel to be
delivered to it in connection with any transfer of the Class A Notes pursuant to
clauses (A) or (C) above.

          Under no circumstances may an institutional "accredited investor"
within Regulation D of the Securities Act take delivery in the form of a
beneficial interest in a book-entry Class A Note if such purchaser is not a
"qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act.

          If definitive Class A Notes are issued, the Class A Notes may not be
transferred, directly or indirectly, to any Person unless (A) the proposed
transferee delivers a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, to the Issuer (in care of the Servicer) and the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee or (B) the transferee of the Class A Note delivers to the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an opinion of counsel that such transfer is
permitted pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above.

          All opinions of counsel required in connection with any transfer shall
be by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.

          The purchaser or transferee of each Class A Note shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that, with respect to the source of funds to be used by
such transferee to acquire this Class A Note (the "Source") either (a) such
Source is not, and none of its assets constitute assets of, an "employee benefit
plan" subject to Title I of ERISA, a "plan" to which Section 4975 of the Code
applies or a plan that is subject to any substantively similar provision of any
federal, state or local law, or a person using assets of any such plan, or (b)
the acquisition and holding of the Class A Notes by such Source will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of
ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantively similar
provision of any federal, state or local law.

          Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register
the Class A Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law. Any
transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be void ab
initio.

          (b) If an election is made to hold Class A Notes in book-entry form,
the Class A Notes shall be registered in the name of a nominee designated by the
Clearing Agency (and may be aggregated as to denominations with other Class A
Notes held by the Clearing Agency). With respect to Class A Notes held in
book-entry form:

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

               (ii) the rights of Note Owners will be exercised only through the
     Clearing Agency and will be limited to those established by law and
     agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the
     Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Depository Agreement;

               (iii) whenever this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents
     requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or
     directions of Holders of Class A Notes evidencing a specified percentage of
     the Class A Note Balance, the Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent
     such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to
     such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or
     representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
     interest in the Class A Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
     Indenture Trustee; and

               (iv) without the consent of the Seller and the Indenture Trustee,
     no such Class A Note may be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to a
     successor

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     Clearing Agency that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Note
     Owners or except upon the election of the Note Owner thereof or a
     subsequent transferee to hold such Class A Note in physical form.

          None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Class A
Insurer shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of
beneficial ownership in any Note an interest in which is transferable through
the facilities of the Clearing Agency.

          If (i)(A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Class A Notes as described in the
Depository Agreement and (B) the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Issuer at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency, or (iii) Note Owners representing beneficial interests in Class A Notes
aggregating not less than a majority of the Class A Note Balance advise the
Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency with respect to such class is no longer in the best interests of
the related Note Owners, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify all such Note
Owners, through the Clearing Agency, and the Class A Insurer of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of definitive Class A Notes to such
Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the
related Class A Notes by the Clearing Agency accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency, the Indenture Trustee shall issue
definitive Class A Notes and deliver such definitive Notes in accordance with
the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar,
the Class A Insurer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of definitive
Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
definitive Class A Notes as Noteholders hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable if the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing
Agency.

          (c) In order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers
provided by Rule 144A, the Issuer shall provide to any Holder of a Class A Note
and any prospective purchaser designated by such Holder, upon request of such
Holder or such prospective purchaser, such information required by Rule 144A as
will enable the resale of such Class A Note to be made pursuant to Rule 144A.
The Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall cooperate with the Issuer in
providing the Issuer such information regarding the Class A Notes, the
Collateral and other matters regarding the Trust as the Issuer shall reasonably
request to meet its obligations under the preceding sentence.

          (d) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Class A Note at
the Corporate Trust Office, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Section
2.3(a), authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Class A Notes in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Indenture Trustee. At
the option of a Holder, Class A Notes may be exchanged for other Class A Notes
of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the
Class A Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

          (e) Every Class A Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed
by the Holder or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Class A
Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and
subsequently disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its
customary practice.

          (f) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Class A Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Class A Notes.

          (g) Subject to Article IX hereof, the Class A Notes and this Indenture
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, prior to the Class A
Termination Date, with the consent of the Class A Insurer, but without the
consent of any of the Class A Noteholders, to modify restrictions on and
procedures for resale and other transfers of the Class A Notes to reflect any
change in applicable law or regulations (or the interpretation thereof) or
practices relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities generally.

          SECTION 2.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Notes.

If (a) any mutilated Class A Note shall be surrendered to the Note Registrar, or
if the Note Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss, or theft of any Class A Note and (b) there shall be delivered
to the Note Registrar, the Class A Insurer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
such security or indemnity (an unsecured indemnity agreement of a Class A
Noteholder with a net worth at least equal to $200,000,000 containing terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer being
sufficient for such security or indemnity requirement), as may be required by
them to save each of them and the Issuer harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Note shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost, or stolen Class A Note, a new Class A Note of like tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Class A Note under this
Section, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. The Indenture Trustee may charge such Holder
for its expenses (including without limitation the fees and expenses of its
counsel) in replacing a Class A Note. Any duplicate Class A Note issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership of such Class
A Note, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed
Class A Note shall be found at any time.

          SECTION 2.5. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Note
Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Class A Note shall be
registered as the owner of such Class A Note for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
Section 5.2 hereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer nor the Note Registrar nor any such
agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 2.6. Access to List of Noteholders' Names and Addresses.

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer or
the Class A Insurer, within 15 days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a
request therefor from the Servicer or the Class A Insurer in writing, a list, in
such form as the Servicer or Class A Insurer may reasonably require, of the
names and addresses of the Class A Noteholders as of the most recent Record
Date. If three or more Class A Noteholders, or one or more Holders of Notes
aggregating not less than 10% of the Class A Note Balance, apply in writing to
the Indenture Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or under the Class A Notes and such application shall be accompanied
by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then
the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such
application, make available to such Class A Noteholders access during normal
business hours to the current list of Class A Noteholders. Each Holder, by
receiving and holding a Class A Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to hold
none of the Servicer, the Class A Insurer nor the Indenture Trustee accountable
by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source
from which such information was derived.

          SECTION 2.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Indenture Trustee shall maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Class A Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and an office in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where notices and demands to or upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the
Class A Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Indenture Trustee initially
designates the Corporate Trust Office as specified in this Indenture as its
office for such purposes. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice
to the Servicer, the Class A Insurer and to Class A Noteholders of any change in
the location of the Note Register or any such office or agency.

          SECTION 2.8. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

          (a) The Class A Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the form of
the Class A Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto and such interest shall be due
and payable on each Distribution Date as specified therein. Any installment of
interest or principal, if any, payable on any Class A Note which is punctually
paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date or
on the Stated Final Maturity shall be paid as set forth in Section 5.09(a) of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (b) The principal of each Class A Note shall be payable in
installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the form of the Class A
Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Class A Notes, and all accrued interest thereon,
shall become due and payable, if not previously paid, upon the acceleration
thereof after the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default in the manner
provided in Section 5.2. All principal payments on the Class A Notes shall be
made as provided in

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

Section 5.2 and in Section 5.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall
notify the Person in whose name a Class A Note is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer
expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Class A
Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior
to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment
will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Class A Note and
shall specify the place where such Class A Note may be presented and surrendered
for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Class
A Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

          (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Class A
Notes, such defaulted interest shall itself bear interest (to the extent lawful)
at the Class A Note Rate. Such defaulted interest (and such interest thereon)
shall be paid on subsequent Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 5.09 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, or as otherwise set forth below.

          SECTION 2.9. Release of Collateral.

The Indenture Trustee shall, on or after the Class A Termination Date, release
and shall cause the Trust Collateral Agent to release any remaining portion of
the Trust Property from the lien created by this Indenture and shall cause the
Trust Collateral Agent to deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on
deposit in any other Trust Account. The Indenture Trustee shall release property
from the lien created by this Indenture pursuant to this Section only upon
receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel meeting the
applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

                                   ARTICLE III

                    Covenants, Representations and Warranties

          SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the
Class A Notes in accordance with the terms of the Class A Notes and this
Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing and in accordance with the terms set
forth in Section 5.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer will
cause to be distributed to the Class A Noteholders all amounts on deposit in the
Note Distribution Account on each Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Class A Notes, to the
Class A Noteholders. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from
a payment to any Class A Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Class A Noteholder for all
purposes of this Indenture.

          SECTION 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

For so long as the Indenture Trustee is the transfer agent, the Issuer will
maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where Class A Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and an office in
Minneapolis, Minnesota where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Class A Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture
Trustee and the Class A Insurer of the location, and of any change in the
location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to
maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture
Trustee or the Class A Insurer with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.

          SECTION 3.3. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

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

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

               (ii) give the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer written
     notice of any default by the Issuer of which a Responsible Officer has
     actual knowledge (or any other obligor upon the Class A Notes) in the
     making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Class A
     Notes;

               (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default by
     the Issuer, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, or, prior to
     the Class A Termination Date, the Class A Insurer, forthwith pay to the
     Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

               (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
     the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Class
     A Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met
     by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment specified in Section 6.12
     hereof; and

               (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
     withholding from any payments made by it on any Class A Notes of any
     applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
     applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith in each case, as
     instructed by the Issuer.

          The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon
which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such a payment by any
Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such money.

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

          SECTION 3.4. 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 statutory trust
under the laws of the State of Delaware 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 Class A Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or
agreement included in the Trust Property.

          SECTION 3.5. Protection of Trust Property.

The Issuer intends the security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture in
favor of the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Noteholders and the Class A Insurer
to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Property, and the Issuer
shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders and the Class A
Insurer, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in
the Trust Property. The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to
be prepared), execute, file 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:

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

               (i) grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust
     Property;

               (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the
     priority thereof) in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
     Class A Noteholders and the Class A Insurer 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 Trust Property;

               (v) preserve and defend title to the Trust Property and the
     rights of the Indenture Trustee in such Trust Property against the claims
     of all persons and parties; and

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

          The Issuer hereby designates and authorizes the Indenture Trustee its
agent and attorney-in-fact to execute or authorize, as applicable, upon Issuer
request, any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument
required to be executed or authorized, as applicable, by the Issuer pursuant to
this Section. The Issuer authorizes the filing of financing statements in all
appropriate jurisdictions describing the Collateral as "all assets of the
Debtor" or words of similar effect, or being of equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail.

          SECTION 3.6. Opinions as to Trust Property.

          (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee and the Class A Insurer an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to this
Indenture with respect to the 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 Indenture Trustee,
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.

          (b) Within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year,
beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after
the Cut-off Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the
Class A Insurer an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of
such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto
and with respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements as are necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created
by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the
opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and
security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording,
filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental
hereto and the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements
that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until the
90th day to occur in the following calendar year.

          SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts.

          (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 Property 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 Basic Documents or such other instrument or agreement.

          (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons acceptable to the Class
A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture,

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

with respect to the Dealer Loans or Contracts, 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

whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other
proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by
this Indenture or by law.

          (c) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Class A Notes or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the Trust Property, 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

to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all
other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.

          (d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the

behalf of any Class A Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Class A Notes or the rights of any
Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment,
subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the
Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Class A Notes and the Class A Insurer.

proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture),

Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Class A Noteholder a party to
any such proceedings.

          SECTION 5.4. Remedies.

          (a) If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Class A Insurer or the Indenture Trustee at the written
direction of the Class A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders may do any one or more of the
following:

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

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

               (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and

     remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of the Class A Notes and the
     Class A Insurer; and

               (iv) direct the Indenture Trustee to sell the Trust Property or
     any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or
     private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;
     provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not, and shall not be
     directed by the Class A Insurer or the Majority Noteholders, as the case
     may be, to, sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property following an
     Indenture Event of Default unless:

               (A) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the
          Class A Noteholders, together with amounts to be paid to the Class A
          Insurer concurrently therewith, are anticipated to be sufficient to
          discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Class A
          Notes for principal and interest due thereon, in the event such
          direction is from the Class A Insurer; or

               (B) in the event that a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and
          is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by the Majority
          Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, may not sell
          or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property following an Indenture Event
          of Default unless:

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

                    (I) such Indenture Event of Default is of the type described
               in Section 5.1(iv) or (v),

                    (II) such Indenture Event of Default is of the type
               described in any other clause of Section 5.1 and the Class A
               Noteholders consent thereto in writing, or

                    (III) either (i) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
               would be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full all amounts
               then due and unpaid upon such Class A Notes for principal and
               interest or (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust
               Property will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the
               payment of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes as they
               would have become due if they had not been declared due and
               payable (it being understood that for purposes of making such a
               determination, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on an
               independent auditor);

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if it, being advised by
counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if
it, in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the
proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability.

          (b) If the Indenture Trustee sells all or a portion of the Trust
Property, following an Indenture Event of Default, the Trust Collateral Agent
shall give Credit Acceptance at least ten (10) days' prior notice of such sale,
and Credit Acceptance may, but is not required to, make a bid for the portion,
or all, of the Trust Property being sold by the Indenture Trustee.

          SECTION 5.5. Optional Preservation of the Trust Property.

If the Class A Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2
following an Indenture Event of Default and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may,
with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders, but need not
unless directed in writing by the Class A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders, maintain
possession of the Trust Property which is in its possession and elect to direct
the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Property which is
in the possession of the Trust Collateral Agent. It is the desire of the parties
hereto and the Class A Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes, and the Class
A Insurer, or the Majority Noteholders, as the case may be, shall take such
desire into account when determining whether or not to direct the Indenture
Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, as applicable, to maintain possession of
the Trust Property. In determining whether to direct the Indenture Trustee or
the Trust Collateral Agent, as applicable, to obtain possession of the Trust
Property, the Class A Insurer, or the Majority Noteholders, as the case may be,
may, but need not maintain and conclusively 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
Property for such purpose.

          SECTION 5.6. [Reserved].

          SECTION 5.7. Limitation of Suits.

Subject to Section 5.8 and Section 6.8, no Holder of any Class A Note shall have
any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

               (ii) (A) the Indenture Event of Default arises from the Seller's
     or the Servicer's failure to remit payments under the Sale and Servicing
     Agreement when due or (B) the Majority Noteholders shall have made written
     request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of
     such Indenture Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
     hereunder;

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

               (iv) the Indenture Trustee for 30 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 Indenture Trustee during such 30-day period; and

               (vi) the Class A Insurer has given its prior written consent.

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Class A Notes
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Class A Noteholders.

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

          SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Class
A Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Class A Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in

                                      -34-

after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

          SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

          SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as provided in Section 5.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or the Class A
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or any Holder
of any Class A Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Indenture
Default or Indenture Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by
law to the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or to the Class A Noteholders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or by the Class A Noteholders, as the
case may be.

          SECTION 5.12. Control by the Class A Insurer.

Prior to the Class A Termination Date, the Class A Insurer, so long as a Class A
Insurer Default has not occurred and is not continuing, shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Class A Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided,
however, that, the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; and subject
to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any direction of the Class A Insurer if the Indenture Trustee being advised by
counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if
the Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine
that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal
liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Class A Noteholders not
parties to such direction.

          SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Class A Note by such
Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by
any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit,
and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant.

          SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

          SECTION 5.15. Action on Class A Notes.

The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under
this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of
any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of
this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Class
A Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture
Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment
upon any portion of the Trust Property or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

          SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

          (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee or the
Class A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Majority Noteholders, to do so and at the Issuer's expense, the Issuer
agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee or the Class A
Insurer, as the case may be, may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under
or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the
manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, or prior to the Class A Termination
Date, the Class A Insurer, including the transmission of notices of default on
the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal
or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the
Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

          (b) If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture
Trustee may, with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer or, if a
Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Noteholders, but need not unless directed in writing by the Class A Insurer or,
if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Noteholders, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the
Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to
compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each
of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

          SECTION 5.17. Subrogation. Any and all proceeds of claims paid by the
Class A Insurer under the Class A Note Insurance Policy and disbursed by the
Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be considered payment
by the Issuer with respect to the Class A Notes, and shall not discharge the
obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Class A Insurer shall, to
the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Class A Notes, become
subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments to the extent of
such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the
Class A Notes by or on behalf of the Class A Insurer, each Class A Noteholder
shall be deemed, without further action, to have directed the Indenture Trustee
or the Trust Collateral Agent to assign to the Insurer which made such payment
all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Class A
Notes which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by such
Insurer and such Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like
with respect to the Class A Notes to the extent that it has made payment
pursuant to the Class A Note Insurance Policy. To evidence such subrogation, the
Note Registrar shall note such Insurer's rights as subrogee upon the Class A
Note Register upon receipt from such Insurer of proof of payment by the Insurer
of any Class A Interest Distributable Amount or Class A Principal Distributable
Amount.

          (a) If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Indenture Trustee shall follow such instructions and directions as it may

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

               (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and

     the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
     the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture
     and the Basic Documents; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the
     certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their
     face to the requirements of this Indenture and the Basic Documents.

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

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

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

               (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to

Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur liability (financial
or otherwise) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the

believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

          (g) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Indenture
Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of
this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or
continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles,

verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement believed
by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties, or (E) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time
or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the

          SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee.

          Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

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

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

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

          (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Indenture Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee
has actual knowledge or has received written notice of such Indenture Event of
Default.

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

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

          (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or the other Basic
Documents, or 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 Holders of Class A Notes, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless it shall have been offered security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be
incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee
shall, upon the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default (that has not been
cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with the
same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

          (g) Except during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Noteholders or
the Class A Insurer; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Indenture 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
Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee
may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against
such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders or the
instructing party, as the case may be, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee,
shall be reimbursed by the requesting Holders or the instructing party, as the
case may be, upon demand.

          (h) In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any
indirect, consequential, punitive or special damages, regardless of the form of
action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated.

          (i) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the
Indenture Trustee provided for herein is for informational purposes only (unless
otherwise expressly stated herein) and the Indenture Trustee's receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any information contained therein
or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer's
compliance with any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder
(as to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

          (j) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

          (k) In the event the Indenture Trustee is also acting in the capacity

shall be afforded all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities
afforded to the Indenture Trustee hereunder in each of its capacities hereunder.

omission on the part of the Issuer, the Seller or the Servicer or any other
Person. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring or
supervising the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person.

          SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.

The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Class A Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.
Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section
6.15.

          SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust
Property or the Class A Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of
the proceeds from the Class A Notes, and 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 Class A Notes or in the Class A Notes other than, the
Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 6.5. Notice of Indenture Events of Default.

If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if written notice
of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Class A Insurer, the
Rating Agencies and each Class A Noteholder notice of the Indenture Event of
Default within five (5) Business Days after such knowledge or notice occurs.

          SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.

The Indenture Trustee shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Class A
Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder
to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Such obligation shall be
satisfied if the Indenture Trustee provides such Class A Noteholder a Form 1099.

          SECTION 6.7. Compensation.

          (a) The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time
compensation for its services as agreed in writing and in accordance with
Section 5.08(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by
it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services, except any such expense as may be attributable to its willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include securities
transaction charges relating to the investment of funds (net of investment
earnings) on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent on
deposit in the Trust Accounts (except for the Certificate Distribution Account)
and the reasonable compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee's counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ; provided, however, that the securities transaction charges referred
to above shall, in the case of certain Eligible Investments selected by the
Servicer, be waived for a particular investment in the event that any amounts
are received by the Trust Collateral Agent from a financial institution in
connection with the purchase of such Eligible Investments. The Issuer agrees to
indemnify the Indenture Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent as set forth in
Section 6.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee agrees
that its recourse to the Issuer, the Seller and the Trust Property shall be
limited to the right to receive distributions in accordance with Section 5.08(a)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Article V hereof and shall not be
recourse to the assets of any Class A Noteholder.

          (b) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the earlier
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee
incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default specified
in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic
Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer to
the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall not be
recourse to the assets of any Class A Noteholder.

          SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer and the Class A Insurer in writing at least sixty days prior and upon the
appointment and assumption of its obligations by a successor Indenture Trustee
which shall be acceptable to the Class A Insurer if such succession occurs prior
to the Class A Termination Date.

          (b) The Issuer, prior to the Class A Termination Date with the prior
written consent of the Class A Insurer, may remove the Indenture Trustee by
written notice if:

               (i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.17
     hereof;

               (ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of
     the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or
     state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any
     other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
     law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator,
     sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any
     substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property, or ordering the
     winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee's affairs;

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

               (iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as
     now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state
     bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the
     Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

               (iv) the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any
     federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
     constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
     insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or
     taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
     conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Indenture
     Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property, or
     makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay
     its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in
     furtherance of any of the foregoing;

               (v) failure to comply with any material covenant hereunder; or

               (vi) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally incapable of
     acting.

          (c) The Class A Insurer may remove the Indenture Trustee for any
reason by 30 days' prior written notice.

          (d) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee
in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), prior
to the Class A Termination Date the Class A Insurer may appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee and if it fails to, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Class A Insurer. After the Class A
Termination Date, the Issuer may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee without
the consent of the Class A Insurer.

          A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of
its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon

and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee under this Indenture subject to
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Class A Noteholders, the Class A
Insurer and the Rating Agencies. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture
Trustee.

          If a successor Indenture Trustee that is, prior to the Class A
Termination Date, acceptable to the Class A Insurer does not take office within
60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee or the Class A Insurer may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee that meets the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.12 hereof.

          If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.15, any
Noteholder, prior to the Class A Termination Date with the prior written consent
of the Class A Insurer, may

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the
Class A Insurer.

          Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of
a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Class A Insurer pursuant to this Section 6.8
and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee by
the Servicer and the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee.

          SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

Section 6.12, without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Class A Insurer
written notice of any such transaction.

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

          SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Trust Collateral Agent.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee do hereby appoint Wells Fargo Bank,

          SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate
Indenture Trustee.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee acting jointly and at the expense of the Issuer, prior to the
Class A Termination Date with the consent of the Class A Insurer, shall have the
power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons

Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Class A Noteholders and the Class A Insurer, such title to the
Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 6.12 and no notice to Noteholders 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 Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
     exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee
     or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
     co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture
     Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
     any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
     the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
     act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
     (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any
     such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
     trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture
     Trustee;

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

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and
trusts shall vest in

                                      -45-

     Trustee.

          SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Setoffs.

Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent hereby expressly
waives any and all rights of setoff that the Indenture Trustee or the Trust

The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee (a)

pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall apply
all such money received by it, or cause the Trust Collateral Agent to apply all

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
Property, the Indenture Trustee may at the expense of the Issuer 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 an Indenture Default or
Indenture Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed
thereafter as provided in Article V.

          SECTION 8.2. Release of Trust Property.

Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the
Indenture Trustee may after the Class A Termination Date, and when required by

ascertain the Indenture Trustee's

                                      -48-

Indenture Trustee, and prior to the Class A Termination Date, to the Class A
Insurer, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to
the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not
materially and adversely impair the security for the Class A Notes or the rights
of each of the Class A Noteholders and the Class A Insurer 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 Property. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent
investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other
instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such
action.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                             Supplemental Indentures

          SECTION 9.1. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Noteholders.

          (a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Class A Notes but, prior
to the Class A Termination Date, with the prior written consent of the Class A
Insurer, and with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, as
evidenced to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when
authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into
one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee, and prior to the Class A Termination Date, the Class A
Insurer, for any of the purposes set forth in clauses (i)-(vi) below; provided,
however, if any party to this Indenture is unable to sign any amendment due to
its dissolution, winding up or comparable circumstances, then the consent of the
Noteholders and Certificate holders representing at least a majority of the
total current outstanding Class A Note Balance and at least a majority of the
current total Certificate Interest, respectively and the consent of the Class A
Insurer shall be sufficient to amend this Agreement without such party's
signature:

               (i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any
     time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and
     confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be
     subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this
     Indenture additional property;

               (ii) to evidence the succession, in compliance with the
     applicable provisions hereof, of another person to the Issuer, and the
     assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and
     in the Class A Notes contained;

                                      -49-

<PAGE>

               (iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit of

     any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

               (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property
     to or with the Trust Collateral Agent;

               (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
     herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be inconsistent with any
     other provision herein or in any supplemental indenture or to add any other
     provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
     Indenture or in any supplemental indenture; provided that such action shall
     not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Class A Notes; or

               (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
     appointment hereunder by a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the
     Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
     shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder
     by more than one Indenture Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article
     VI.

          The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained provided that such action shall
not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

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

          SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also
may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Class
A Insurer, or if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, with
the consent of the Majority Noteholders, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Class A Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, if any
party to this Indenture is unable to sign any amendment due to its dissolution,
winding up or comparable circumstances, then the consent of the Class A
Noteholders representing at least a majority of the total current outstanding
Class A Note Balance or the consent of the Class A Insurer shall be sufficient
to amend this Agreement without such party's signature; provided

                                      -50-

<PAGE>

further, however, that, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

               (i) change the time of payment of any installment of principal of
     or interest on any Class A Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof,
     the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto,
     change the provision of this Indenture relating to the application of
     collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Property to
     payment of principal of or interest on the Class A Notes;

               (ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
     the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds
     available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such
     amount due on the Class A Notes on or after the respective due dates
     thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

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

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

               (v) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Class

     percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional
     provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or
     waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected
     thereby;

               (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 any Note on any Distribution Date (including
     the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or
     to affect the rights of the Holders of Class A Notes to the benefit of any
     provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Class A Notes 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 Property 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 any Note of
     the security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

          The Issuer may determine whether or not any Class A Notes would be
affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be
conclusive upon the Holders of

                                      -51-

<PAGE>

all Class A Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination
made in good faith.

          Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Class A Insurer and the Holders of the Class A Notes a copy of
such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

          SECTION 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions
hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in
accordance therewith with respect to the Class A Notes affected thereby, and the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and
immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the
Holders of the Class A Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,
and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and
be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and
all purposes.

          SECTION 9.5. Reference in Class A Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

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

          SECTION 10.1. Redemption.

                                      -52-

<PAGE>

(a) The Class A Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at
the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, on any Distribution Date on which the Servicer exercises
its option to reacquire the Trust Property pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement for a redemption price equal to the Redemption
Price; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer has
received funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. The Issuer shall furnish
the Class A Insurer and the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption. If the
Class A Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall
furnish notice of such election to the Class A Insurer, the Trust Collateral
Agent and the Indenture Trustee not later than 45 days prior to the Redemption
Date and promptly upon giving such notice, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to
be deposited with the Indenture Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the
Redemption Price of the Class A Notes to be redeemed whereupon all such Class A
Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, together with other
amounts due and owing at such time under the Basic Documents, upon the
furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.2 to each Holder of Notes and
the Class A Insurer.

          SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice.

Notice of redemption under Section 10.1(a) shall be given by the Indenture
Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or
mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of the Class A
Notes, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable
Redemption Date, at such Holder's address appearing in the Note Register.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

               (i) the Redemption Date;

               (ii) the Redemption Price;

               (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
     Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon
     presentation and surrender of such Class A Notes and the place where such
     Class A Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price
     (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as
     provided in Section 2.7); and

               (iv) that interest on the Class A Notes shall cease to accrue on
     the Redemption Date.

          Notice of redemption of the Class A Notes shall be given by the
Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give
notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Class A Note
shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

          SECTION 10.3. Class A Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

The Class A Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as
required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section
10.1(a)), on the Redemption Date become

                                      -53-

<PAGE>

due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in
the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption
Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

                                  Miscellaneous

          SECTION 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

          (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer or the Class A
Insurer to the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to take any
action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee, or the Trust Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and to the
Class A Insurer, if such request is made by the Issuer, an Officer's Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture

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

securities with the Trust Collateral Agent 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 Indenture Trustee, the Class A
Insurer and the Trust Collateral Agent an Officer's Certificate certifying or
stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate (which may be based
upon a certification of the Seller or the Servicer) as to the fair value (within
90 days 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 Indenture
Trustee, the Class A Insurer and the Trust Collateral Agent 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
Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer and the Trust Collateral Agent 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

                                      -54-

<PAGE>

certificates delivered pursuant to clause (b) above and this clause (c), is 10%
or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, but such a certificate
need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair
value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is
less than $25,000.

          (d) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Loans,
whenever any property or securities are to be released from the Lien of this
Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent and the
Class A 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.

          (e) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture
Trustee and the Class A 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 Trust Collateral Agent and the Class
A 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 Loans,
or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the commencement of
the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by
clause (d) above and this clause (e), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of
any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in
the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000.

          (f) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
Section, the Issuer may, without delivering any Officer's Certificates or
Independent Certificates (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of
Contracts as and to the extent required by the Basic Documents and (B) instruct
the Trust Collateral Agent to make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as
and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

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

          Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may
be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which 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

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

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.

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

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

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Class
A Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Class A Noteholders in person or by
agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Class A Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

          SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc. to Indenture Trustee, Class A Insurer,
Issuer and Rating Agencies.

                                      -56-

<PAGE>

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Class A Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

          (a) The Indenture Trustee by any Class A Noteholder, the Class A
Insurer or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if
personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier, mailed certified mail,
return receipt requested or by telecopy to: Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, MAC #9311-161, Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis,
Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services - Asset-Backed
Administration, Telephone: (612) 667-8058, Telecopy: (612) 667-3464 and shall be
deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its
principal Corporate Trust Office.

          (b) The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or by any
Class A Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier, mailed certified mail, return receipt
requested or by telecopy to: Credit Acceptance Corporation, Silver Triangle
Building, 25505 West Twelve Mile Road, Suite 3000, Southfield, Michigan
48034-8339, Attention: Wendy Rummler, Telephone: (248) 353-2700 (ext. 4217),
Telecopy: (866) 249-3138. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received
by it from the Class A Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the Class A
Insurer.

          (c) Notices required to be given to the Class A Insurer by the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier, mailed certified mail, return receipt
requested to the following address: XL Capital Assurance Inc., Surveillance,
1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020.

          (d) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, electronically
delivered, personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier, or mailed
certified mail, return receipt requested to the following addresses: Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., via electronic delivery to ServicerReports@moodys.com
(or for any information not available in electronic format, send hard copies to:
ABS Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10007);
Standard & Poor's Rating Services, via electronic delivery to
Servicer_reports@sandp.com (or for any information not available in electronic
format, send hard copies to: 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041).

or, in each case, to such other address as shall be designated by written notice
from the applicable notice party to the other parties.

          SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Class A Noteholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Class A
Noteholder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears on the
Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Class A Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice
nor any defect in any notice so mailed to

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

any particular Class A Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

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

          SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.

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

          SECTION 11.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          SECTION 11.8. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Class A Notes by the
Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

          SECTION 11.9. Separability.

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

                                      -58-

          SECTION 11.10. Benefits of Indenture.

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

          SECTION 11.11. Legal Holidays.

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

          SECTION 11.12. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH LAWS.

          SECTION 11.13. Counterparts.

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

          SECTION 11.14. Recording of Indenture.

If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording
offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture
Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to
the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the
Class A Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement
of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

          SECTION 11.15. Trust Obligation.

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral
Agent or the Indenture Trustee on the Class A Notes or under this Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
against: (i) the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director, employee or agent of the Issuer, the

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuer or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent and
the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the
extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock,
unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to
such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any
duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article
VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 11.16. No Petition.

Each of the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Class A
Noteholder, by accepting a Class A Note, hereby covenants and agrees that, until
one year and one day after such time as the Class A Notes issued under the
Indenture are paid in full, it shall not: (i) institute the filing of a
bankruptcy petition against the Seller or the Issuer based upon any claim in its
favor arising hereunder or under the Basic Documents; (ii) file a petition or
consent to a petition seeking relief on behalf of the Seller or the Issuer under
the Bankruptcy Law; or (iii) consent to the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Seller
or the Issuer or any portion of the property of the Seller or the Issuer. The
parties hereto agree that all obligations of the Issuer and the Seller are
non-recourse to the Issuer and the Seller except as specifically set forth in
the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 11.17. Inspection.

The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Class A Insurer, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants,
and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's
officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law or in
connection with litigation, and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee
may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations
hereunder and under the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 11.18. Maximum Interest Payable.

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Class A Notes
specifically intend and agree to limit contractually the amount of interest
payable under this Indenture, the Class A Notes and all other instruments and
agreements related hereto and thereto to the maximum amount of interest lawfully
permitted to be charged under applicable law. Therefore, none of the terms of
this Indenture, the Class A Notes or any instrument pertaining to or relating to
or executed in connection with this Indenture or the Class A Notes shall ever be
construed to create

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

a contract to pay interest (or amounts deemed to be interest under applicable
law) at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged under
applicable law, and neither the Issuer nor any other party liable or to become
liable hereunder, under the Class A Notes or under any other instruments and
agreements related hereto and thereto shall ever be liable for interest in
excess of the amount determined at such maximum rate, and the provisions of this
Section shall control over all other provisions of this Indenture, the Class A
Notes or any other instrument pertaining to or relating to the transactions
herein or therein contemplated. If any amount of interest taken or received by
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of a Class A Note shall be in excess of said
maximum amount of interest which, under applicable law, could lawfully have been
collected by the Indenture Trustee or such Holder incident to such transactions,
then such excess shall be deemed to have been the result of a mathematical error
by all parties hereto and shall be automatically applied to the reduction of the
principal amount owing under the Class A Notes or if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Class A Notes, such excess shall be
refunded promptly by the Person receiving such amount to the party paying such
amount. All amounts paid or agreed to be paid in connection with such
transactions which would under applicable law be deemed "interest" shall, to the
extent permitted by such applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the stated term of the Indenture. "Applicable law" as used in
this paragraph means that law in effect from time to time which permits the
charging and collection of the highest permissible lawful, nonusurious rate of
interest on the transactions herein contemplated including laws of each State
which may be held to be applicable and of the United States of America, and
"maximum rate" as used in this paragraph means, with respect to each of the
Class A Notes, the maximum lawful, nonusurious rates of interest (if any) which
under applicable law may be charged to the Issuer from time to time with respect
to such Class A Notes.

          SECTION 11.19. No Legal Title in Holders.

No Holder of a Class A Note shall have legal title to any part of the Trust
Property. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any Note or other
right, title and interest of any Holder of a Class A Note in and to the Trust
Property or hereunder shall operate to terminate this Indenture or the trusts
hereunder or entitle any successor or transferee of such Holder to an accounting
or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Property.

          SECTION 11.20. Third Party Beneficiary.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Class A Insurer and the Class
A Noteholders are each an express third party beneficiary of this Indenture.

          SECTION 11.21. Multiple Roles.

The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association acting in the possible dual capacity of successor Servicer and in
the capacity as Indenture Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent. Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association may, in such dual capacity, discharge its separate
functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles,
duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent
that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association of express duties set forth in this Indenture or any
other Basic Document in any of such

                                      -61-

capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly
waived by the other parties hereto except in the case of negligence (other than
errors in judgment) and willful misconduct by Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association.

reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of

Class A Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Registrar, the Class A Insurer nor any such agent shall be bound by notice to
the contrary.

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

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

          The Class A Notes are issuable only in registered form in

provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes

Holder of this Class A Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as
expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an
Indenture Event of Default, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the

undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A Note.

Re:  Credit Acceptance Auto Dealer Loan Trust 2007-1, $100,000,000 Class A Asset
     Backed Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our acquisition of the above Class A Notes, we
certify that: (a) we understand that the Class A Notes have not been and will
not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or any state securities laws, are being transferred to us in a
transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and any such laws and the Class A Notes are being transferred to it in a
transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the
Securities Act; (b) we have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters, and we are a sophisticated institutional investor capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of investments in the Class A Notes; (c) we are
aware that we (or any investor account on behalf of which the Class A Notes may
be purchased) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Class A Notes for an indefinite period of time, and we are (or such account is)
able to bear such risk for an indefinite period; (d) we have received and
reviewed a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, dated April 3, 2007,
relating to the Class A Notes, and we have had the opportunity to ask questions
of and receive answers from the Issuer concerning the purchase of the Class A
Notes and all matters relating thereto or any additional information deemed
necessary to our decision to purchase the Class A Notes; (e) we represent and
warrant that, with respect to the source of funds to be used by us to acquire
the Class A Notes (the "Source") either (i) such source is not, and none of its
assets constitute assets of, an "employee benefit plan" subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), a
"plan" to which Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") applies or a plan that is subject to any substantively similar
provision of any federal, state or local law, or a person using assets of any
such plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Class A Notes by such
Source will not constitute or result in a non-exempt

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code
or a violation of any substantively similar provision of any federal, state or
local law; (f) we have not, nor has anyone acting on our behalf offered,
transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Class A Notes, any
interest in the Class A Notes or any other similar security to, or solicited any
offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Class A
Notes, any interest in the Class A Notes or any other similar security from, or
otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Class A Notes, any
interest in the Class A Notes or any other similar security with, any person in
any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or
in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a
distribution of the Class A Notes under the Securities Act or that would render
the disposition of the Class A Notes a violation of Section 5 of the Securities
Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will we act, nor have we
authorized or will we authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect
to the Class A Notes; (g) we are (i) a "qualified institutional buyer" within
the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and are
acquiring the Class A Notes for our own institutional account or for the account
or accounts of a qualified institutional buyer or (ii) purchasing the Class A
Notes in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and in
compliance with the provisions of the Indenture and in compliance with the
legends placed on the Class A Notes; and have completed the form of
certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1; and (h) we have had the
opportunity to ask questions and request information regarding the Class A
Notes, and we have received responses satisfactory to us.

          We are aware that the sale to us is being made in reliance on Rule
144A. We are acquiring the Class A Notes for our own account or for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A and further understand that such Class A Notes may be
resold, pledged or transferred only in accordance with applicable state
securities laws and (i) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A,
to a person reasonably believed to be a qualified institutional buyer that
purchases for its own account (or for the account or accounts of a qualified
institutional buyer) and to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) (A) to a person that is
an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, is taking delivery of such Class A
Notes in an amount of at least $250,000, and delivers an Investment Letter to
the Indenture Trustee or (B) to a person that is taking delivery of such Class A
Notes pursuant to a transaction that is otherwise exempt from registration
requirements under the Securities Act, as confirmed in an opinion of counsel.

          ____ The Purchaser is a "U.S. Person" and it has attached hereto an
               Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W 9 (or successor form).*

          ____ The Purchaser is not a "U.S. Person" and under applicable law in
               effect on the date hereof, no Taxes will be required to be
               withheld by the Note Registrar (or its agent) with respect to
               Distributions to be made on the Note(s). The Purchaser has
               attached hereto either (i) a duly executed IRS Form W 8BEN (or
               successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the
               beneficial owner of the Note(s) and states that such Purchaser is
               not a U.S. Person or (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W
               8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the
               beneficial owner of the Note(s) and state that interest and

               issue discount on the Class A Notes is, or is expected to be,
               effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The
               Purchaser agrees to provide to the Note Registrar updated IRS
               Forms W 8BEN or IRS Forms W 8ECI, as the case may be, any
               applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as
               the Note Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date
               that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes
               obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring
               a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished
               by it to the Note Registrar.*

          For this purpose, "U.S. Person" means a citizen or resident of the
United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the
laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(unless, in the case of a partnership, regulations are adopted that provide
otherwise), including an entity treated as a corporation or partnership for

                                                                    to Indenture

              PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in
the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the
Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee as follows on the
Closing Date and on each Distribution Date on which the Trust purchases Dealer
Loans, in each case only with respect to the Collateral pledged to the Indenture
Trustee on the Closing Date or the relevant Distribution Date:

                                     GENERAL

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in
UCC Section 9-102) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which
security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as
against creditors of and purchasers from and assignees of the Trust.

2. Each Contract constitutes "tangible chattel paper" or a "payment intangible",
within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. Each Dealer Loan constitutes a "payment
intangible" or a "general intangible" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.

3. Each Dealer Agreement constitutes either a "general intangible" or "tangible
chattel paper" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.

4. The Trust has taken or will take all necessary actions with respect to the
Dealer Loans to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the
Dealer Loans and in the property securing the Dealer Loans.

                                    CREATION

1. The Trust owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and
clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for
taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the
ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any
applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in
good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not
imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not
impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

                                   PERFECTION

1. The Trust has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective
date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the
proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in
order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

<PAGE>

2. With respect to Collateral that constitutes tangible chattel paper, such
tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, in its capacity as
custodian for the Trust and the Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral
Agent has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer, in its capacity
as custodian, that it is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on its
behalf and for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Seller, the Trust
and the relevant Dealer(s). All financing statements filed or to be filed
against the Trust in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection with this
Indenture describing the Trust Property contain a statement to the following
effect: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this
financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party."

                                    PRIORITY

1. Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture, the Trust has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Property. None of the
Originator, the Servicer nor the Seller has authorized the filing of, or is
aware of any financing statements against either the Seller, the Originator or
the Trust that includes a description of the Collateral and proceeds related
thereto other than any financing statement: (i) relating to the sale of the
Originator Property by the Originator to the Seller under the Contribution
Agreement; (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement; (iii) relating to the security interest granted to
the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture; or (iv) that has been terminated or
amended to reflect a release of the Collateral.

2. Neither the Seller, the Originator nor the Trust is aware of any judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller, the Originator or the
Trust.

3. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the
Contracts or the Dealer Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that it
has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Originator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trust, a collection agent or the
Indenture Trustee.

                     SURVIVAL OF PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS

1. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Contribution
Agreement, the Indenture or any other Basic Document, the Perfection
Representations, Warranties and Covenants contained in this Schedule shall be
continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement
of the Servicer or termination of Servicer's rights to act as such) until such
time as all obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Contribution
Agreement and the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.

                                    NO WAIVER

1. The parties hereto: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the
then-current ratings of the Class A Notes (without giving effect to the Class A
Note Insurance Policy), waive any of the Perfection Representations, Warranties
or Covenants; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice
of any breach of the Perfection Representations, Warranties or Covenants, and
shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the
Class A Notes (without giving effect to the Class A Note Insurance Policy) as
determined after

                                       A-2

any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach,
waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations, Warranties or
Covenants.
