period from the Effective Date to but not including the Termination Date; and

                  (ii) in the event that Atlantic and Lyon shall elect not to
make any one or more loans requested by the Borrower, each Lender severally, but
not jointly, agrees to make such Loans to the Borrower on any Business Day prior

the requested borrowing by the Borrower to be made on such date, which Loans the
Borrower may, in accordance with the terms hereof, borrow, repay and reborrow
during the time period from the Effective Date to, but not including, the
Termination Date; and, PROVIDED, that, at the option of the Borrower, upon a
reduction in the short term rating of any Lender by S&P or Moody's to a rating

Commitment and for purposes of this Article 2 only, such Lender's Commitment
Percentage of such

                                       19

the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, during each successive period following
the original period specified in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may
similarly request an extension of the Termination Date for an additional 360-
day period. If Atlantic, Lyon and all of the Lenders deliver a written consent
to such extension to the Agent not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after any
request for such extension or, if the Borrower replaces any Lender which fails
to grant such extension in accordance with SUBPARAGRAPH (II) below, upon the
effective date of such replacement (or if more than one Lender is being
replaced, upon the effective date of the last such replacement), the Termination
Date shall automatically be extended for an additional 360-day period (and the
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon and the Lenders of such extension).

                  (ii) If any Lender fails to grant an extension requested by
the Borrower pursuant to SUB-PARAGRAPH (I) of this Section, then, not later than
the thirtieth (30th) day following such Lender's failure to so extend, the
Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior irrevocable written,
telecopy or telex notice to each of such Lender, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon
Agent and the Agent, in whole permanently replace such Lender in accordance with
SECTION 12.4(B) hereof; PROVIDED, that the Borrower shall replace such
Commitments with the commitment of a Lender that is satisfactory to the Agent,
the Atlantic Agent and the Lyon Agent in their reasonable discretion. The notice
from the Borrower referred to in the preceding sentence shall specify an
effective date for the replacement of such Lender, which date shall not be later
than the tenth (10th) day after the day such notice is given. Any such
replacement Lender shall, upon the effective date of replacement,

                                       20

purchase, and the replaced Lender shall sell, the Obligations owed to such
replaced Lender for the aggregate amount thereof in accordance with SECTION
12.4(B) hereof and shall thereupon for all purposes become a "Lender" hereunder.

                  (iii) If the Termination Date is extended, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Agent, the Atlantic Agent and the Lyon Agent such
agreement as the Agent, the Atlantic Agent and the Lyon Agent reasonably require
in order to evidence such extended Termination Date.

such Group of Relinquished Vehicles, (E) the Designated Account(s) against which
such borrowing is requested to be made (including the aggregate amount thereof)
and (F) each Manufacturer whose payment obligations give rise to such Designated
Account(s) and the respective aggregate amount of such Designated Account(s)
owing by each Manufacturer. Such notice may be by telephone, promptly confirmed
in writing by the Borrower providing the Agent with a Request for Loan within
twenty-four (24) hours of the time of such Loan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent's record of the terms of
any such telephonic notice in the event of the Borrower's failure to provide
such written confirmation. Each request for a borrowing shall constitute a
request by the Borrower that such borrowing be made against the Designated
Accounts corresponding to the Group of Relinquished Vehicles identified in such
request. Each request for a borrowing shall be accompanied by (i) an
Administrator Borrowing Date Certificate duly executed by the Administrator and
dated the date of such request, (ii) an AESOP Borrowing Date Certificate duly
executed by AESOP Leasing and dated the date of such request and (iii) the one
or more Transfer Notices duly executed by AESOP Leasing and delivered to the
Borrower with respect to all the Relinquished Vehicles included in the Group of
Relinquished Vehicles described in clause (D) of the first sentence of this
SECTION 2.2(A). Only one Loan may be made with respect to Designated Accounts
arising in connection with one Group of Relinquished Vehicles and such
Designated Accounts shall constitute all the Accounts arising in connection with
the Vehicles comprising such Group of Relinquished Vehicles outstanding on or
after the date of the making of such Loan. In no event shall the Borrower
designate any Account under this SECTION 2.2(A) unless such Account satisfies
the definition of Designated Eligible Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the security interest of the Agent under SECTION 3.1 hereof shall extend to all
Designated Accounts regardless of whether such Designated Accounts are
Designated Eligible Accounts (this sentence being intended to confirm the pledge
and grant made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Designated
Accounts and shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of any conditions
related to the eligibility of such Accounts).

         (b) NOTICE TO LENDERS; FUNDING OF LOANS. Upon receipt of a notice for
borrowing, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify Atlantic (and the
Atlantic Agent), Lyon (and the Lyon Agent) or each Lender, as the case may be,
by telephone or telecopy with respect to the contents thereof. Atlantic and Lyon
each shall promptly, but not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date
requested by the Borrower for such Loan, advise the Agent whether it will make
the requested Loan. If Atlantic and Lyon each advises the Agent that it will not
make the requested Loan, the Agent shall promptly send such Request for Loan to
the Lenders (with a copy to the Borrower, Atlantic and Lyon) and such request
shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, a request by the Borrower for a
Domestic Loan in a principal amount equal to the amount of the Loan which was
initially requested from Atlantic and Lyon. Atlantic, Lyon or each Lender shall,
not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), on the date of a proposed borrowing,
provide to the Agent at the Agent's office immediately available funds in a pro
rata amount equal, in the case of Atlantic and Lyon, to such requested Loan, or,
in the case of the Lenders, to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the
principal amount of the requested borrowing. To the extent funds are received
from Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders, the Agent shall pay over as soon as
practicable (but in no event later than the same Business Day) such funds to the
Borrower upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 4.2
hereof. The Borrower agrees that the proceeds of each Loan shall, immediately
upon receipt thereof by the Borrower, be deposited into the appropriate AESOP
Trust Account (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) as provided in the Exchange
Agreement.

         (c) FAILURE OF LENDER TO FUND. Unless the Agent shall have been
notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. (New
York time), on the day prior to a Loan to be funded by the Lenders that such
Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Commitment
Percentage of the principal amount of such requested borrowing on the date
specified therefor, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount
available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available by such
Lender to the Agent on a date after the date of such Loan, such Lender shall pay
to the Agent, on demand, interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate for the number of days from the date of such Loan to the date on which such
amount becomes immediately available to the Agent, together with such other
compensatory amounts as may be required to be paid by such Lender to the Agent
pursuant to the Rules for Interbank Compensation of the Council on International
Banking or the Clearinghouse Compensation Committee, as the case may be, as in
effect from time to time. A statement of the Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive, in the
absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to the
Agent by such Lender on the same Business Day as the date of such Loan, the
Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, with interest thereon at the
rate per annum then applicable to such Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.

         (d) VOLUNTARY CONTINUANCE/CONVERSION OF LOANS. The Borrower may on any
Eurodollar Business Day, upon notice, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT F
attached hereto (such notice, the "NOTICE OF CONTINUANCE/CONVERSION"), given to
the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the date that is three
(3) Eurodollar Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or
continuance (a "LOAN CONTINUANCE/CONVERSION"): (i) convert Domestic Loans into
Eurodollar Loans; (ii) convert Eurodollar Loans into Domestic Loans; or (iii)
continue Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans. Such notice may be by telephone,
promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower providing

                                       22
<Page>

the Agent with a Notice of Continuance/Conversion within twenty-four (24) hours
of the time such Loan is made, continued or converted. Each Notice of
Continuance/Conversion shall be signed by an Authorized Signatory and shall
specify (A) the date of such continuance or conversion, (B) the Loans to be
converted or continued, and (C) if such conversion is into, or such continuance
is with respect to, Eurodollar Loans, the duration of the Interest Period for
each such Loan. In the event that the Borrower fails to deliver a Notice of
Continuance/ Conversion with respect to a Eurodollar Loan as set forth in this
Section, such Loan shall be converted into a Domestic Loan on the last day of
the Interest Period therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in
SECTION 2.4(A) hereof.

         SECTION 2.3  NOTES.

         (a) The Loans by Atlantic and by Lyon to the Borrower shall be
evidenced by separate Notes each in the form of EXHIBIT C attached hereto, with
appropriate insertions. Each Lender's Loans shall be evidenced by a separate
Note in the form of EXHIBIT C attached hereto, with appropriate insertions. Each
Note shall be payable to the order of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as the case
may be, shall be dated the Effective Date, and shall set forth, in the case of
each of Atlantic and Lyon, the maximum Program Limit ($200,000,000), or in the
case of each Lender, the amount of such Lender's Commitment as the maximum
principal amount thereof. Unless payment is required earlier as provided herein
or in any other Loan Document, each Loan shall mature, and be due and payable in
full (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon), on the Business Day of the
release to the Borrower from the Collection Account, pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, of any
amount paid by the applicable Manufacturer in respect of any of the Designated
Accounts against which such Loan was requested to be made (the amount so
maturing and becoming due and payable at any time with respect to such Loan
being limited to the amount released at such time from the Collection Account in
respect of such Designated Accounts and the Borrower hereby agrees to remit to
the Agent any such amounts received by it which are released from the Collection
Account) unless such amount is immediately upon release from the Collection
Account deposited into the appropriate Agent Trust Account with respect to such
Designated Accounts and the Agent is notified in writing of such deposit;
PROVIDED, that in any event each Loan shall mature, and be due and payable in
full (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon), no later than the 60th day
after the borrowing date thereof.

         (b) All Loans made by Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders to the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement and all payments of principal shall be evidenced by
Atlantic, Lyon or each Lender in its records or, at Atlantic's, Lyon's or such
Lender's option, on the schedule attached to its respective Note, which records
or schedule shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the subject matter
thereof.

         SECTION 2.4 INTEREST.

         (a) RATES. Subject to SECTIONS 2.4(C) and (D) hereof, (i) the unpaid
principal of all Atlantic Loans and Lyon Loans funded or maintained with
commercial paper shall bear interest at the rate of the commercial paper issued
to fund or maintain such Loan, plus up to 5 basis points for dealer commissions
applicable thereto; (ii) the unpaid principal of that portion of Loans
maintained by the Lenders, Lyon or Atlantic as Domestic Loans shall bear
interest at all times while such Loan is a Domestic Loan at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Reference Rate plus the Applicable

                                       23
<Page>

Margin; and (iii) the unpaid principal of that portion of the Loans maintained
by the Lenders, Lyon or Atlantic as Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest during
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interbank Rate
(Adjusted) plus the Applicable Margin.

         (b) PAYMENT. Interest on all Loans held by Atlantic or Lyon funded or
maintained with commercial paper issued by Atlantic or Lyon, as appropriate,
shall be payable on the maturity (or rollover) date of commercial paper issued
by Atlantic or Lyon, as the case may be, to fund or maintain such Loan;
provided, that so long as such Loan is not due and payable on or before such
maturity or rollover date and such commercial paper issued to fund or maintain
such Loan is otherwise being rolled over, interest on such Loan may, by prior
notice by the Borrower to the Agent, such notice to be made by telephone,
received by the Agent no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such
maturity or rollover date (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall be
followed promptly by submission of a Borrowing Base Certificate), be capitalized
as additional principal of such Loan (and shall be due and payable when such
Loan is due and payable hereunder and bear interest at the rate applicable to
principal on such Loan), but only if (x) both on the date of such notice and on
the date of such rollover there exists no Event of Default and (y) after giving
effect to such capitalization, no prepayment shall be required under Section
2.6(b) hereof. Interest on any other Loan shall be paid when such Loan shall be
due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise); provided that
(1) accrued and unpaid interest on Domestic Loans shall also be payable monthly
in arrears on the last day of each calendar month, (2) accrued and unpaid
interest on any Eurodollar Loan shall also be payable on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor and (3) accrued and unpaid interest on any Domestic
Loan or Eurodollar Loan or portion thereof being converted into a Eurodollar
Loan or Domestic Loan, as appropriate, shall be paid on the date of conversion
thereof.

         (c) INTEREST AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND MATURITY. From and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default (unless and until the same is waived pursuant
to this Agreement) or if all or any part of a Loan is not paid when due (whether
at maturity, by reason of prepayment or acceleration or otherwise), all
outstanding principal amounts shall bear interest for each day during the period
from the date of such Event of Default or maturity date, as applicable, to, but
not including, the date of payment in full of all Obligations (or until such
Event of Default has been waived) at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
Interest after maturity shall be payable on demand.

         (d) COMMERCIAL PAPER INTEREST. In the event that any Loan by Atlantic
or Lyon is funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by Atlantic or
Lyon, as appropriate, the Borrower shall be liable in all circumstances to pay
interest with respect to such Loan (at the applicable interest rate provided
above) for the entire Interest Period for such Loan, notwithstanding that such
Loan may be paid in full prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor.

         SECTION 2.5 CALCULATION OF INTEREST. The interest on all Atlantic
Loans, Lyon Loans, Domestic Loans and Eurodollar Loans shall be computed on the
basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, and, except as provided in
SECTION 2.4 above, in all cases shall be paid for the actual number of days
elapsed. Interest for each Interest Period shall be calculated from and
including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. If the
date for any payment of principal is extended (whether by operation of this
Agreement, any provision of law or otherwise), interest shall be payable for
such extended time.

                                       24

         SECTION 2.6 PREPAYMENT.

         (a) OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time without notice to the Agent, prepay the Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty, except as provided in Article 11 and subject to SECTION
2.4(D) hereof.

         (b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower shall be required to prepay the
Loans outstanding hereunder as necessary to comply with SECTION 2.8 hereof upon
any reduction of the Commitments or Program Limit. Additionally, in the event
that: (i) the Outstanding Credit exceeds the aggregate Borrowing Base for all
outstanding Loans or the outstanding principal amount of any Loan exceeds the
Borrowing Base for such Loan, the Borrower will immediately (and in any event
within one Business Day) make a mandatory prepayment to the Agent in an amount
equal to such excess; and (ii) in the event that the Outstanding Credit exceeds
the Commitments or the Program Limit (including by virtue of the automatic
reduction in the Program Limit on November 30 (December 15 for the 1998 calendar
year) of each year), the Borrower will immediately (and in any event within one
Business Day) make a mandatory prepayment to the Agent in an amount equal to
such excess.

         (c) APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. (i) Each mandatory prepayment shall be
applied as follows: FIRST, pro rata to any Loans then held by Atlantic and Lyon,
to the full extent thereof; SECOND, to outstanding Domestic Loans, to the full
extent thereof; and THIRD, to Eurodollar Loans, to the full extent thereof;
provided that any mandatory prepayment required under SECTION 2.6(B)(I) above as
a result of the outstanding principal amount of any Loan exceeding the Borrowing
Base for such Loan shall be applied to such Loan, to the full extent thereof
(and to the extent relevant, first to the portion of such Loan constituting
Domestic Loans until paid in full and then to the portion of such Loan
constituting Eurodollar Loans).

                  (ii) Each optional prepayment shall (unless the Borrower
directs otherwise) be applied as follows: FIRST, to outstanding Domestic Loans
to the full extent thereof; SECOND, pro rata to any Loans then held by Atlantic
and Lyon to the full extent thereof; and THIRD, to Eurodollar Loans to the full
extent thereof.

         (d) INTEREST ON PREPAYMENT. Subject to SECTION 2.4(D) hereof, each
prepayment of a Loan or portion thereof shall be accompanied by the payment of
all accrued but unpaid interest owing on the amount being prepaid.

         (e) COLLECTIONS AND PAYMENTS ON DESIGNATED ACCOUNTS AND ASSIGNED
SPECIAL DEFAULT PAYMENTS. Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default or unless
provided otherwise herein, collections with respect to Designated Accounts
against which a particular Loan was made and payments on Assigned Special
Default Payments with respect to Vehicles the sale of which by the Borrower gave
rise to any portion of such Designated Accounts, in each case received by the
Agent for application to the payment of such Loan, shall be applied by the Agent
to the payment of such Loan as follows: FIRST, to breakage indemnity amounts, if
any, owing with respect to such Loan; SECOND, to interest owing on such Loan;
and THIRD, to principal owing on such Loan.

                                       25

         SECTION 2.7 REPAYMENT. All Obligations of the Borrower then outstanding
shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

         SECTION 2.8 PROGRAM LIMIT AND COMMITMENT ADJUSTMENT.

         (a) PERMANENT REDUCTION. The Borrower may without penalty at any time
simultaneously terminate or permanently reduce the Program Limit and the
Commitments, dollar for dollar, by giving the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the
Lyon Agent and the Lenders at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
such effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such reduction shall reduce each of the
Program Limit and Commitments in an amount which is equal to $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. On or prior to the effective
date of such reduction in the Program Limit and Commitments, the Borrower shall
make a repayment or prepayment of the Loans outstanding, plus accrued interest
on such Loans, such that after giving effect to such repayment or prepayment and
the reduction in the Program Limit and the Commitments, (a) the Outstanding
Credit does not exceed the Program Limit or the Commitments, (b) the Outstanding
Credit does not exceed the aggregate Borrowing Base for all outstanding Loans
and (c) the outstanding principal amount of any Loan does not exceed the
Borrowing Base for such Loan.

         (b) TEMPORARY INCREASE OR REDUCTION. Subject to the immediately
succeeding sentence, the Borrower may without penalty at any time temporarily
increase or reduce the Program Limit by giving the Agent, the Atlantic Agent,
the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon and the Lenders at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to such effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such increase or
reduction shall increase or reduce, as the case may be, the Program Limit in an
amount which is equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof; PROVIDED FURTHER, that, after giving effect to any temporary
increase, in no event shall the Program Limit exceed an aggregate amount equal
to $200,000,000 less the aggregate amount of all permanent reductions of the
Program Limit theretofore made under or pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower
shall not be permitted to (i) temporarily increase or reduce the Program Limit
more than 4 times in any calendar year or (ii) make any further temporary
increases or reductions in the Program Limit for 30 days after the immediately
preceding request for a temporary adjustment in the Program Limit. On or prior
to the effective date of any temporary reduction in the Program Limit, the
Borrower shall make a repayment or prepayment of the Loans outstanding, plus
accrued interest on such Loans, such that after giving effect to such repayment
or prepayment and the reduction in the Program Limit, (a) the Outstanding Credit
does not exceed the Program Limit, (b) the Outstanding Credit does not exceed
the aggregate Borrowing Base for all outstanding Loans and (c) the outstanding
principal amount of any Loan does not exceed the Borrowing Base for such Loan.

         SECTION 2.9 MANNER OF PAYMENT.

         (a) All payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the
Notes) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made in
immediately available funds by the Borrower to the Agent for the pro rata
account of Atlantic and Lyon or for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled
to receive such payment, as applicable. All such payments shall be made to the
Agent, prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), on the date due (i) in the case of
Loans made by the Lenders, at the Agent's office at the address specified in
SECTION 12.1 hereof, ABA #0260-0807-3, for account of: Loan Settlement
#01-88179-3701, (ii) in the case of Loans made by Atlantic, to Atlantic c/o the
Agent at the Agent's office at the address specified in SECTION 12.1 hereof, ABA
#0260-0807-3, for

                                       26
<Page>

account: Atlantic Asset Securitization Corp. #01-25680-0001-00-001, and (iii) in
the case of Loans made by Lyon, to Lyon c/o the Agent at the Agent's office at
the address specified in Section 12.1 hereof, ABA #0260-0807-3, for account:
Lyon Short Term Funding Corp. #0127-440-0005-00-001, or at such other place as
may be designated by the Agent to the Borrower in writing. Subject to SECTION
2.2(C) hereof, the Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to
Atlantic, Lyon and/or each Lender its share of all such payments received by the
Agent for the account of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as applicable. Any
payments received after 3:00 p.m. (New York time), shall be deemed received on
the next Business Day.

         (b) If any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, or in
the case of payments on account of Eurodollar Loans, a Eurodollar Business Day,
it shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day,
as the case may be, unless, in the case of a payment on account of a Eurodollar
Loan, such extension would cause payment to be made in the next succeeding
calendar month in which case such due date shall be advanced to the next
preceding Eurodollar Business Day (except as otherwise expressly provided
herein). Interest and fees will continue to accrue during such extension of time
until payment is received in good, immediately available funds and credited by
the Agent.

         (c) Each Lender which is a Non-United States Person agrees (to the
extent it is permitted to do so under the laws of the United States, any
applicable double taxation treaties of the United States, the jurisdiction of
its incorporation and the jurisdictions in which its Domestic Lending Office and
its Eurodollar Lending Office are located) to execute and deliver to the Agent
for delivery to the Borrower, before the first scheduled payment date in each
taxable year of such Lender, either (i) a United States Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 or (ii) a United States Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, or any
successor forms, as appropriate, and such other and further forms which the
Borrower may reasonably request (including United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 or W-9), in each case properly and accurately completed and
properly claiming complete or partial, as the case may be, exemption from
withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes. Each Lender which is a
Non-United States Person represents and warrants to the Borrower and the Agent
that, as of the date hereof (or in the case of an assignee Lender, as of the
date when such assignee Lender becomes a Lender), (A) it is entitled to receive
all payments hereunder without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes or other taxes, fees, duties,
withholdings or other charges of any taxing authority, and (B) it is permitted
to take the actions described in the prior sentence, claiming an exemption from
withholding of United States and any applicable double taxation treaties of the
jurisdictions specified in the previous sentence.

         SECTION 2.10 PRORATION OF PAYMENTS. If Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender
shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of set-off or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on
any Loan or Note in excess of its proper share of payments and other recoveries
obtained by Atlantic, Lyon or all Lenders or other holders on account of
principal of and interest on Loans and Notes then held or participated in by
them, Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as appropriate, shall purchase from
Atlantic, Lyon and/or the other Lenders such participation in the Loans and
Notes then held or participated in by them as shall be necessary to cause
Atlantic, Lyon or such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other
recovery ratably with each of them; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any
portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter

                                       27
<Page>

recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall (except in the case of
each of Atlantic and Lyon) be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such selling Lender's
ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling
Lender's required payment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
The Borrower agrees that Atlantic, Lyon or the Lender so purchasing a
participation from Atlantic, Lyon or the other Lenders under this Section may
exercise all its rights of payment, including the right of set-off, with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender
receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies,
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights
of Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the
benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

         SECTION 2.11 FEES. Subject to SECTION 12.17 hereof, the Borrower shall
pay to the Agent certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the
Fee Letter.

                                    ARTICLE 3

the Exchange Agreement or to reimburse the Borrower for fees and expenses
incurred by the Borrower pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), all guarantees
with respect to such charges and all rights to enforce such obligations, charges

or other investment property relating thereto and all choses in action with
respect to any of the foregoing and (f) to the extent not included in the
foregoing, all collections and proceeds of any and all of the foregoing
(collectively, the "COLLATERAL"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the Collateral shall not include any Vehicles whatsoever,
including, without limitation, any Relinquished Vehicles or Replacement
Vehicles, irrespective of whether any such Vehicle may be characterized as a
proceed of any Loan or of any other Collateral pursuant to Section 9-306 of the
UCC or otherwise (Atlantic, Lyon, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, the Agent
and each Lender hereby disclaiming any

                                       28

security interest, lien, or other right, title or interest in or to any such
Relinquished Vehicle or Replacement Vehicle), (ii) the Collateral shall not
include any funds advanced by Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender to the Borrower
pursuant to SECTION 2.2(B) hereof, (iii) so long as the Intercreditor Agreement
shall be in effect, principal and interest owing on any Loan shall, as to the

proceeds of the Collateral described in clauses (a) and (c) above, be limited to

clauses (e) and (f) above that constitutes proceeds of such Designated Accounts,
Assigned Special Default Payments or other rights and property described in

shall no longer include any collections or other proceeds of any Designated
Accounts against which such Loan was made nor any Assigned Special Default
Payments with respect to any Vehicles the sale of which gave rise to any such
Designated Accounts (in each instance, whether such collections, other proceeds
or payments are in an Agent Trust Account, an AESOP Trust Account (as defined in
the Exchange Agreement) or otherwise) (it being understood and agreed that such
determination is only a determination that certain property shall no longer
constitute Collateral as provided above and such determination shall in no event

do one or more of the following at any time or times after an Event of Default:
terminate the Commitments and reduce the Program Limit to zero; or declare all
or any part of the unpaid principal amount of all the Loans at the time
outstanding, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of such
declaration and all other amounts then owing under this Agreement or the Notes
to be, whereupon the same shall become, forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, with respect to an Event of
Default as provided in CLAUSE (G) of SECTION 9.1 hereof, CLAUSES (I) and (II) of
this paragraph shall automatically apply without further action by the Agent,
the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders and without

each instance, be paid by the payor or holder thereof directly to the Agent for

such payment to the Agent); PROVIDED that so long as the Intercreditor Agreement
shall be in effect any payment under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above received by
the Agent may not be applied to the payment of principal or interest on any Loan
unless such payment received by the Agent constitutes or derives from Collateral
for such Loan.

The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    THE AGENT

         SECTION 10.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any
transferee of any of its interest in its Loans and in its Note irrevocably to
appoint and authorize, the Agent to take such actions as its

                                       43
<Page>

agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder as are delegated by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender hereby authorizes, consents to and
directs the Borrower to deal with the Agent as the true and lawful Agent for
Atlantic, Lyon and such Lender to the extent set forth herein. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to enter
into the Intercreditor Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for
by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or
take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions from the Majority Lenders and such instructions shall be binding
upon Atlantic, Lyon and all of the Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Agent
shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in
connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

         SECTION 10.2 AGENT RELIANCE, ETC. Neither the Agent nor any of its
past, present or future directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under
or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof
signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may
consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants
or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to Atlantic, Lyon or any
Lender and shall not be responsible to Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Exchange
Agreement or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the
Borrower; (e) shall not be responsible to Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender for the
due execution (other than by CLNY as Agent), legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness or sufficiency of any document furnished pursuant thereto; (f) shall
incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy, cable or telex) believed by it to
be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (g) shall not
be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default unless the Agent has
received notice from Atlantic, Lyon or a Lender or the Borrower specifying such
Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that
the Agent receives such notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall
give prompt telephonic notice thereof (promptly confirmed in writing) to
Atlantic, Lyon and the Lenders.

         SECTION 10.3 CLNY AND AFFILIATES. With respect to its Commitment, the
Loans made by it, and the Notes issued to it, CLNY shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement and the Notes as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the terms, "Lender" or
"Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CLNY in its
individual capacity. CLNY and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind
of business with, the Borrower, ARAC, AESOP Leasing, any of their respective
Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own

                                       44
<Page>

securities of the Borrower, ARAC, AESOP Leasing or any of their respective
Affiliates, all as if CLNY were not the Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders. If CLNY is removed as Agent, it will
not effect CLNY's rights and interests as a Lender.

         SECTION 10.4  INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower), ratably according to the respective
principal amounts outstanding under the Notes then held by each of them (or if
no amounts are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective
amounts of the Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of any of the Loan Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under any of the Loan Documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration, or
enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
any of the Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for
such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this SUBSECTION (A), in the event that the Agent shall be
reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower for any cost incurred by it, any and
all of which costs have been paid by any Lender, the Agent promptly upon receipt
of such amounts shall remit the same to each Lender pro rata in accordance with
the respective payments made by such Lender.

         (b) Each Lender hereby agrees that any amounts owed to the Agent by any
of the Lenders in connection with the Loans made pursuant to this Agreement may
be deducted by the Agent, and applied to such amounts, from amounts made
available, in accordance with any of the Loan Documents, by the Borrower to the
Agent for the account of such Lender, with such Lender remaining liable for any
deficiency.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Loan Documents, the
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act
hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction (including
appropriate bond or security) by the Lenders against any and all liability and
expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action.

         All obligations provided for in this SECTION 10.4 shall survive
termination of this Agreement and the replacement of the Agent under SECTION
10.5 hereof.

         SECTION 10.5 SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may resign at any time as the
Agent under this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed at any time by
the Majority Lenders (exclusive of CLNY); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Agent
shall not be removed by the Majority Lenders hereunder unless all fees, costs,
Obligations, expenses and other amounts due or to become due to the Agent under
this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other Loan Document, shall
have been paid in full. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent hereunder. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment, in the case of resignation, within thirty (30)
days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, or, in the case
of removal, on the date such removal becomes effective then the retiring or
removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a

                                       45
<Page>

successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of
the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon (a) the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, and (b) the receipt by such
successor Agent of such documents of transfer and assignment as it may
reasonably request, (c) the completion, in a manner satisfactory to the Majority
Lenders, of all actions necessary to effectively vest with the successor Agent
all of the retiring or removed Agent's right, title and interest in and to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in and to the Collateral, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the
retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as
Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Agent's resignation or
removal as Agent under this Agreement, the provisions of this SECTION 10.5 shall
inure to its benefit only as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent under this Agreement. The Agent shall not be liable to the
Lenders or to any Lender in acting or refraining from acting under this
Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions
of the Majority Lenders, or of all of the Lenders where the consent or direction
of all of the Lenders is required hereunder, and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders.

         SECTION 10.6 RESPONSIBILITY DISCLAIMED. The Agent shall be under no
liability or responsibility whatsoever as Agent:

         (a) To the Borrower or any other Person as a consequence of any failure
or delay in performance by or any breach by, any Lender or Lenders of any of its
or their obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; or

         (b) To Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender or Lenders, as a consequence of any
failure or delay in performance by or any breach by, the Borrower or any other
obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes or any other
Loan Document.

         SECTION 10.7 CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender represents and warrants to
each other and to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance on
the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower, ARAC,
AESOP Leasing, Manufacturers and the Collateral and its own decision to enter
into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or determining not to take action under this Agreement. The Agent shall
not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by the
Borrower, ARAC or AESOP Leasing of this Agreement or any other document referred
to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower,
ARAC or AESOP Leasing. Except for notices, reports and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent
hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of

                                       46
<Page>

the Borrower, AESOP Leasing, ARAC or any Manufacturer which may come into the
Agent's possession.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                             CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING
                       EURODOLLAR, ATLANTIC OR LYON LOANS

         SECTION 11.1 INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATES, ETC. If, on or
prior to the determination of an interest rate for any Interest Period, the
Agent determines that for any reason appropriate quotations are not available to
it for purposes of determining the Interbank Rate, the Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Borrower and Atlantic, Lyon or each Lender, as applicable,
and until appropriate quotations are available, the Borrower will not be
permitted to borrow any Eurodollar Loan, or convert any Loan to, or continue any
Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan.

         SECTION 11.2 INCREASED COSTS. If any Regulatory Change:

         (a) shall subject Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender to any tax, duty or
other charge, other than changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, determined by Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as
appropriate, to be applicable to any Eurodollar Loan, to its obligation to make
or maintain any such Loan, or to this Agreement or any Note, or shall, in the
determination of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, change the basis of taxation of
payments to Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as appropriate, of the principal
amounts payable under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Loan or its
obligation to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan; or

         (b) shall impose, increase, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, capital adequacy, assignment or other requirement or condition
against, or any fees or charges in respect of, assets of, deposits with or to
the account of, Commitments of, or credit extended by, Atlantic, Lyon or any
Lender, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, or shall impose on Atlantic, Lyon or
such Lender or on any relevant interbank market for Dollars, or the market for
certificates of deposit, any condition; and the result of the foregoing, in the
determination of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender is (i) to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender with respect to
any Eurodollar Loan, (ii) to impose a cost on or increase the cost to Atlantic,
Lyon or such Lender that is attributable to the making or maintaining of any
Eurodollar Loan or its Commitment to make any Eurodollar Loan, or (iii) to
require Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender to make any payment on or calculated by
reference to the gross amount of any amount received by it hereunder or under
any Note, then within fifteen (15) days after request made by Atlantic, Lyon or
such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), subject to SECTION 12.17
hereof, the Borrower shall pay to Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender determines will compensate
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender for such reduction, increased cost or payment.

         SECTION 11.3 ILLEGALITY. If at any time:

         (a) Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change
makes it unlawful or impracticable for Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan, or to comply with its obligations hereunder in
respect thereto; or

                                       47
<Page>

         (b) Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender determines that, by reason of any
Regulatory Change it is restricted, directly or indirectly, in the amount which
it may hold of (i) a category of liabilities which includes deposits or,
directly or indirectly, affects the manner in which, the interest rate
applicable to any Eurodollar Loan is determined, or (ii) a category of assets
which includes such a Eurodollar Loan;

Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower
and the Agent, and Atlantic's, Lyon's or such Lender's obligation to make or
maintain Eurodollar Loans of that type shall be suspended and in the case of
CLAUSE (A), such Eurodollar Loan shall be prepaid on the last day on which
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain Eurodollar Loans
of that type or, in the case of CLAUSE (B), such Eurodollar Loan shall be
prepaid on the last day determined by Atlantic, Lyon or the Lender to be the
last Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, before the
effective date of the applicable restriction and all pending requests for the
making of Eurodollar Loans of that type shall be deemed with respect to
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, requests for Domestic Loans.

         SECTION 11.4 REPLACEMENT LENDERS. If, and on each occasion that, a
Lender makes a demand for compensation pursuant to SECTIONS 11.2 or 12.5 hereof,
or a Lender is unable to fund Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may, upon at least
five (5) Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telex notice to such Lender
and the Agent, in whole permanently replace the Commitments of such Lender;
PROVIDED, that the Borrower shall replace such Commitments with the commitment
of a Lender that is satisfactory to the Agent, the Lyon Agent and the Atlantic
Agent in their reasonable discretion. Any such replacement Lender shall upon the
effective date of replacement purchase the Obligations owed to such replaced
Lender for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon for all purposes
become a "Lender" hereunder.

         SECTION 11.5 INITIAL LENDING OFFICE; CHANGE OF LENDING OFFICE. The
initial Domestic and Eurodollar Lending Offices of Atlantic, Lyon and any Lender
shall be as set forth below the signature of Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender on
the signature pages hereto or in a notice delivered to the Borrower, and in the
absence of any such designation or notice, Atlantic, Lyon and each such Lender
at the address of Atlantic, Lyon and such Lender determined in accordance with
the provisions of SECTION 12.1 hereof. Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender may at any
time and from time to time change any Lending Office and shall give notice of
any such change to the Borrower; PROVIDED that such change of Lending Office
made at the election of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, and not at the request of
the Borrower, shall not make operable the provisions of SECTION 11.2 hereof or
entitle Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender to make a claim under SECTION 11.3 hereof,
if the operability of such clause or such claim results solely from such change
and not from a subsequent Regulatory Change.

         SECTION 11.6 FUNDING LOSSES. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 12.17
hereof, the Borrower shall pay to Atlantic, Lyon or each Lender, as the case may
be, upon request, such amount or amounts as Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender
determines are necessary to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred
by it (including, without limitation, any breakage costs or fees) as a result of
(a) any payment or prepayment of a Loan by Atlantic or Lyon (or any prepayment
in respect of Atlantic's or Lyon's commercial paper notes) or a Eurodollar Loan
on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan by
Atlantic or Lyon or Eurodollar Loan, or (b) a Loan (other than a Domestic Loan)
for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) not being made, or any
payment

                                       48
<Page>

or prepayment of principal of or interest thereon not being made, on the date
therefor determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. At the election of such Lender and without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, but without duplication, such compensation on account of losses
may include an amount equal to (i) the interest (exclusive of the margin
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan as set in accordance with SECTION 2.4(A)
hereof) that would have been received from the Borrower under this Agreement on
any amounts to be reemployed during an Interest Period or its remaining portion
MINUS (ii) the interest component of the return which such Lender determines it
could have obtained had it placed such amount on deposit in the interbank Dollar
market selected by it for a period equal to such Interest Period or its
remaining portion. Determination of the amount of such losses and out-of-pocket
expenses by Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender, including the Agent as a Lender, shall
be made by Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender who shall provide the Borrower with a
certificate by Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender setting forth the amount to be paid
to it and the calculations therefor, which certificate and calculations shall be
presumed correct, absent manifest error and, after thirty (30) days, will be
conclusively correct if not corrected.

         SECTION 11.7 DETERMINATIONS. In making any determination contemplated
by SECTIONS 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.6 hereof, Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender may
make such reasonable estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that such
Lender in good faith determines to be appropriate, but Atlantic's, Lyon's or
such Lender's selection thereof in accordance with this SECTION 11.7, and the
determination made by Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender on the basis thereof, shall
be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower, except, in the case of such
determinations, for manifest errors in computation or transmission.

<Page>

         (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all

limited to, disbursements and reasonable fees of any counsel for the Agent; and

         (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent, the

any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by
the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon, the Majority
Lenders or the Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right shall operate as
a waiver of such right. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Agent, the
Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon, the Majority Lenders, the
Lenders or any of them shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement,
except to the extent expressly provided in writing in such waiver or indulgence,
or constitute a course of dealing by any of them at variance with the terms of
the Agreement such as to require further notice by any of them of their
respective intent to require strict adherence of the terms of the Agreement in
the future.

         SECTION 12.4 ASSIGNMENT, PARTICIPATION AND DESIGNATION.

         (a) BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the Notes or under any of the
other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Agent, Atlantic,
Lyon and each Lender.

                                       51
<Page>

         (b)      BY ATLANTIC, LYON AND THE LENDERS.

                  (i) GENERALLY. Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender ("ASSIGNOR
LENDER") may issue participations in, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of its rights and obligations under its Note, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents upon the following conditions:

                  (A) All assignments shall be in an aggregate principal amount
                  of at least 5% of the aggregate Commitments of all the
                  Lenders;

                  (B) Each Lender shall continue at all times to have a
                  Commitment of at least 5% of the aggregate Commitments of all
                  the Lenders; and

                  (C) All assignments by any of the Lenders (but not Atlantic or
                  Lyon) shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower
                  and the Agent, which consent, in either case, shall not be
                  unreasonably delayed nor withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at
                  any time after an Event of Default has occurred (which has not
                  been waived in accordance with the provisions of this
                  Agreement), the Borrower's consent shall not be required if
                  such assignment is (i) to a financial institution with assets
                  of $200,000,000 or more or (ii) to a financial institution
                  with a minimum rating issued by S&P and Moody's of A-1 and
                  P-1, respectively, on its (or if its commercial paper is not
                  then rated by S&P or Moody's, its ultimate parent's or holding
                  company's) commercial paper or a minimum rating issued by S&P
                  and Moody's of A on its (or, if its senior unsecured debt is
                  not rated by S&P or Moody's, its ultimate parent's or holding
                  company's) senior unsecured debt.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no percentage limitation
on, and no consent of the Borrower and the Agent shall be required with respect
to, sales or assignments by Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender hereunder or thereunder
to any affiliate of Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender or any Federal Reserve Bank.

                  (ii) Transfer of Rights. Each assignment by Atlantic, Lyon or
a Lender of any portion of its interest under this Agreement shall be made
pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto.
No assignment of interests by a Lender hereunder shall be effective unless the
Agent has received from the assignee or the Assignor Lender an assignment fee of
$2,500 for such assignment. In connection with any assignment, the Borrower and
the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the
Assignor Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until: (A) the Agent
shall have received a notice of assignment duly executed by the Assignor Lender
and the Assignment Agreement duly executed by the assignee and the Assignor
Lender (which Assignment Agreement shall, among other things, contain the
acknowledgment by the assignee of the Intercreditor Agreement and its agreement
to the terms thereof) and (B) the Assignor Lender shall have delivered to the
Agent the original of any Note that shall be subject to such assignment. From
and after the date on which the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Assignor
Lender that (A) and (B) above shall have occurred and all consents (if any)
required shall have been given, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a
party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have
been assigned to it as provided in such notice of assignment, shall have the
rights and obligations of Atlantic, Lyon or a Lender, as appropriate, under this
Agreement

                                       52
<Page>

(including without limitation the right to receive amounts payable pursuant to
SECTION 2.5 hereof). In addition, the Assignor Lender shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder shall have been assigned by it as provided in
such notice of assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of notice of assignment
covering all or the remaining portion of the Assignor Lender's right and
obligations under this Agreement, Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as appropriate,
shall cease to be a party hereto.

                  (iii) BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. Within thirty (30) days after
the Borrower's receipt of notice from the Agent that the Agent has accepted an
executed notice of assignment and the duly executed Assignment Agreement, the
Borrower shall, to the extent applicable, execute and deliver to the Agent in
exchange for any surrendered Note, a new Note payable to the order of the
assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such
notice of assignment, and with respect to the portion of its Commitment retained
by the Assignor Lender, a new Note to the order of Assignor Lender in an amount
equal to the amount retained by such Assignor Lender hereunder. The Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon, the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that such new
Notes shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness
evidenced by the surrendered Notes, and the new Notes shall contain a provision
confirming such agreement.

                  (iv) PARTICIPATIONS. Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender agrees
that except as expressly provided herein, (A) no participation agreement
permitted hereunder shall confer any direct rights under this Agreement or under
any other Loan Document to any purchaser thereof, (B) no Person to which a
participation is issued shall have any right to exercise or enforce any rights
under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents and (C) except as
expressly provided below, the issuer of any participation will at all times
retain the right to vote or take any other actions with respect to its interests
hereunder for the full Commitment Percentage (as in effect from time to time
after giving effect to any assignments hereunder) of such issuing Lender
hereunder. Any participation agreement permitted hereunder shall include a
provision substantially similar to this SECTION 12.4(B)(IV) hereof and shall
expressly prohibit reassignment of any participation of interests hereunder or
any part thereof to any Person other than the Agent or any of the Lenders, or
any affiliate of the Agent, any of the Lenders or such participant. Any
participation agreement permitted hereunder may provide that the issuing Lender
will not, without the written consent of the participant, agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement which would (1) reduce the
principal of or rate of interest on the Loans (other than default interest), (2)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the
Loans, (3) alter the amount of the Commitments or the Commitment Percentages,
(4) change the terms for the payment of fees (other than any Agent's fee)
hereunder, or (5) release any collateral or agreements related to any collateral
for the Loans. The amount, terms and conditions of any participation shall be as
set forth in the participation agreement between the issuing Lender and the
Person purchasing such participation, and none of the Borrower, the Agent and
the other Lenders shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect
thereto, or to any Person to whom any such participation may be issued. No such
participation shall relieve any issuing Lender from any of its obligations under
this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and all actions hereunder shall be
conducted as if no such participation had been granted.

                  (v) MERGER OR ACQUISITION OF LENDERS. Upon any merger of any
Lender with any Person wherein the Lender is not the surviving party, or the
acquisition of a majority in voting interests of any Lender or substantially all
of the assets of such Lender by any Person, the Borrower shall have the right to
require such Lender to assign such Lender's interest in the Loans then

                                       53
<Page>

outstanding together with such Lender's portion of the Commitments to any or all
of the other Lenders who are desirous of purchasing such interest and portion or
to a third party financial institution, the identity of which is in each case
satisfactory to the Agent, in accordance with SECTION 12.4(B)(II) hereof. The
purchase price for the interest in the Loans being assigned shall be the
outstanding principal balance of such Lender's interest, plus any accrued
interest, fees and other amounts due and payable to such Lender. Any costs
incurred or fees arising as a result of any such assignment, including, without
limitation, under SECTION 12.4(B)(II) hereof, shall be borne by the Borrower.

         (c) THIRD PARTIES. Except as specifically set forth in SECTION 12.4(B)
hereof, nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than
the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees
permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan
Documents.

         (d) PRO RATA SHARING. The provisions of this SECTION 12.4 shall not
apply to any purchase of participations among Atlantic, Lyon or the Lenders
pursuant to SECTION 2.10 hereof.

         SECTION 12.5 YIELD EQUIVALENCY. In the event that after the date of the
execution hereof (a) the enactment or adoption of, or any change in, any law,
rule, regulation, treaty, guideline or directive (whether or not having the
force of law), or the interpretation or enforcement of any of the foregoing by
any court, central bank, administrative or governmental authority charged with
the administration thereof shall become effective and either (i) impose, modify
or deem applicable any reserve, deposit, insurance premium, assessment, fee,
capital requirement, tax or similar requirement applicable to any of the Banking
Arrangements or (ii) impose any other condition in connection with any of the
Banking Arrangements (including, without limitation, the Commitments), or (b)
the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender shall, in good faith voluntarily impose,
modify or deem applicable to itself, any reserve, deposit, insurance premium,
assessment, fee, capital requirement or similar requirement applicable to the
Banking Arrangements (including, without limitation, the Commitments) at the
request or the direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any court,
central bank, administrative or governmental authority, and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or such
Lender of extending, issuing or maintaining any of the Banking Arrangements
(including, without limitation, the Commitments) or to reduce any amount (or the
effective return on any amount) received or receivable by the Agent, Atlantic,
Lyon or such Lender in connection with the Banking Arrangements (including,
without limitation, the Commitments) (which increase in cost or reduction in
yield shall be the result of the Agent's, Atlantic's, Lyon's or such Lender's
reasonable allocation, in a nondiscriminatory manner among borrowers having
obligations to the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender similar to those of the
Borrower, of the aggregate of such cost increases or yield reductions resulting
from such event), then, upon written demand by the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or such
Lender, as applicable, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent, Atlantic,
Lyon or such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, subject to the provisions of SECTION 12.17
hereof, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender for all such increased costs or reductions in
yield. The Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender shall submit to the Borrower, at
or prior to the making of each such demand, a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail such increased costs or yield reductions incurred by the
Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender as a result of any of the foregoing, which
certificate shall be presumed correct,

                                       54
<Page>

absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. No increase in the cost or
decrease in yield of the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or any of the Lenders in
maintaining any of the Banking Arrangements arising as a result of the phase in
of any law, rule, regulation, treaty, guideline or directive in effect on the
date hereof and resulting from the report dated July, 1988, entitled
"International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" issued
by the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices shall
constitute a basis on which the Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender may request
the Borrower to pay additional amounts hereunder.

         SECTION 12.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 12.7 GOVERNING LAW: CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PRINCIPLES. The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction
and venue in an appropriate trial court with territorial jurisdiction in New
York, New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or arising out of the
Obligations, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
such courts. The Borrower hereby agrees that service of the summons and
complaint and all other process which may be served in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing by certified or registered mail a copy of
such process to the Borrower at its address determined pursuant to SECTION 12.1
and that personal service of process shall not be required. However, nothing
herein shall be construed to prohibit service of process by any other method
permitted by law, or the bringing of any suit, action or proceeding in any other
jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that final judgment in such suit, action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

         SECTION 12.8 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 12.9 HEADINGS. Headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the construction or
interpretation of any provision hereof.

         SECTION 12.10  MAXIMUM RATE.

         (a) In no event shall the rate or amount of interest due or payable
hereunder or under the Notes (the "STATED RATE") exceed the maximum rate or
amount of interest allowed by applicable Law (the "MAXIMUM RATE"). If at any
time the Stated Rate of Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate
for Atlantic, Lyon or such Lender, as applicable, the rate of interest charged
hereunder shall be limited to the Maximum Rate for Atlantic, Lyon or such
Lender.

         (b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Alternate Reference
Rate as a reference rate for the determination of interest on the Loans, the
Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain

                                       55

funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrower at
interest rates based upon such reference rate.

         SECTION 12.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents described or contemplated
herein embody the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto
and thereto and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and conversations
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

         SECTION 12.12 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

         (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any term or
provision hereof or thereof may be amended or waived orally. Any amendment or
waiver is effective only by an instrument in writing signed by the Majority

contrary in this SECTION 12.12, in the event of: (i) any change in the amount or
definition of the Commitments or the definition of Commitment Percentage; (ii)
any change in the terms of repayment of the Loans provided in SECTION 2.9 hereof
or prepayment of the Loans under SECTION 2.6 hereof; (iii) any change in

the value of any collateral for the Loans; (vi) any waiver of any Event of
Default due to the Borrower's failure to pay any sum due hereunder; (vii) any
amendment of this Section, or the definition of Majority Lenders; (viii) any
amendment or waiver of the provisions of SECTION 4.1 hereof; (ix) any amendment
of the definitions of Repurchase Agreements or Borrowing Base; or (x) any
amendment of SECTION 6.5, 12.4, 12.12 or 12.13 hereof; any amendment or waiver
may be made only by an instrument in writing signed by Atlantic, Lyon, the Agent
and each of the Lenders and by the Borrower. No amendment to ARTICLE 10 can be
effected without the Agent's written consent. Upon receipt of notice of the
intention of the Agent and the Borrower to amend this Agreement (which notice
shall contain the material terms of the proposed amendment), the Agent shall
deliver a copy of such notice to Moody's and S&P at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective date of such proposed amendment.

         (b) Without limitation of SUBSECTION (A) above, any amendment or waiver
of ARTICLE 6, ARTICLE 7, ARTICLE 8 and SECTION 9.1 may be made only by an
instrument in writing signed by the Borrower, the Agent and those parties set
forth in subsection (B) of the definition of Majority Lenders. Upon receipt of

         SECTION 12.13 INDEMNITY. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 12.17
hereof, the Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, the
Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender and each of its
past, present and future agents, employees, representatives, officers and
directors from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, demands, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel), and
disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, "Claims") which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person by any party (a)
resulting from any breach by the Borrower of any representation or warranty made
hereunder, (b) arising out of, or any matter relating to, directly or
indirectly, (i) the Commitments, the making or administration of the Loans, or
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii)
allegations of any participation by the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon
Agent, Atlantic, Lyon or any Lender in the affairs of the Borrower or
allegations that the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic, Lyon
or any Lender have any joint liability of the Borrower for any reason
whatsoever, or (c) arising out of the existence or administration of any
collateral for the Obligations or Liens therein, except, in any case referred to
above, for any portion of such claim, liability, loss, damage, penalty, action,
judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such indemnified
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct determined in such case by a
non-appealable judicial order. The provisions of this SECTION 12.13 shall
survive satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

         SECTION 12.14 OTHER RELATIONSHIPS. No relationship created hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of the Agent,
Atlantic, Lyon and each Lender to enter into or maintain business relationships
with the Borrower, AESOP Leasing or ARAC and their respective Affiliates beyond
the relationships expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

         SECTION 12.15 INTERPRETATION. Should any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document require a judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the
judicial body interpreting or construing this Agreement or such other Loan
Document shall not apply the assumption that the terms of this Agreement or such
other Loan Document shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason
of the rule of legal construction that an instrument is to be construed more
strictly against the party which itself or through its agents prepared the
agreement. The Agent, Atlantic, Lyon and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that
they and their attorneys and agents have each participated equally in the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 12.16 CONFIDENTIALITY. Unless otherwise required by applicable
law, the Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and
all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; PROVIDED
that this Agreement may be disclosed to (a) any Liquidity Bank or Enhancement
Provider, the Trustee, each other party to the Related Documents (each such term
as defined in the Indenture), each other Person whose approval is necessary for
AESOP Leasing to enter into the Exchange Agreement pursuant to the Related
Documents and their respective counsel, auditors and examiners, (b) other third
parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of
confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (c)
the Borrower's legal counsel and auditors and (d) governmental or regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction over the Borrower.

         SECTION 12.17 LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement to pay principal, interest,
fees, costs and expenses and other Obligations and to pay damages or personal
money judgments against the Borrower for any Default or Event of Default are
solely the obligations of the Borrower in its capacity as the Intermediary under
the Exchange Agreement and shall be payable solely from Collateral, funds paid
to or on behalf of the Borrower in its capacity as Intermediary pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement or the AESOP I Operating Lease (other than Special Service
Charges paid or payable to the Borrower as indemnity payments for its own
account or as compensation for its services under the Exchange Agreement or to
reimburse the Borrower for fees and expenses incurred by the Borrower pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement) or from other funds received by or on behalf of the
Borrower in its capacity as Intermediary under the Exchange Agreement and
constituting Collateral; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not relieve
the Borrower from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of
fraudulent actions taken or omissions made by it or its gross negligence or
willful misconduct; PROVIDED FURTHER, that the representations and warranties
made by the Borrower in Section 5.1(a) through (j) of this Agreement and the
covenants in Articles 6 (other than SECTION 6.2 with respect to the payment of
costs and expenses and SECTION 6.8 hereof) and 8 of this Agreement are made in
its individual capacity and are the full recourse corporate obligations of the
Borrower in its individual capacity to the extent of losses or other Claims
actually incurred by the Agent, the Atlantic Agent, the Lyon Agent, Atlantic,
Lyon or any of the Lenders as a result of the breach of any such representation,
warranty or covenant.

         SECTION 12.18 NO PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ATLANTIC OR LYON. The Borrower and
each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, Atlantic or Lyon any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

         SECTION 12.19 NO PROCEEDINGS AGAINST AESOP LEASING. The Borrower and
each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, any of AESOP Leasing, AESOP Funding Corp., AESOP
Funding II L.L.C., AESOP Leasing Corp. II, AESOP Leasing Corp., PV Holding Corp.

insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or

                                   ARTICLE 13

                              WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

         SECTION 13.1 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY
RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE
STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULE), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.
THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL
SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE NOTES, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
RELATIONS AMONG THE PARTIES, AND THE BORROWER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND
ALL PROCESS UPON THE BORROWER, AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE SO MADE SHALL
BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN
DEPOSITED IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, POSTAGE PREPAID, BY CERTIFIED OR
REGISTERED MAIL. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION
INSTITUTED HEREUNDER AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.

            AMENDED AND RESTATED SERIES 1997-1 SUPPLEMENT, dated as of June 29,
2001 (this "Supplement") between AESOP FUNDING II L.L.C., a special purpose
limited liability company established under the laws of Delaware ("AFC-II"), THE
BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation, as successor in interest to
the corporate trust administration of Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee
(together with its successors in trust thereunder as provided in the Base
Indenture referred to below, the "Trustee"), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New
York banking corporation, as agent for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Noteholders and the Surety Provider (the "Series 1997-1 Agent"), to the Amended
and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of July 30, 1997, between AFC-II and the
Trustee (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, exclusive of
Supplements creating a new Series of Notes, the "Base Indenture").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

            WHEREAS, AFC-II, the Trustee and the Series 1997-1 Agent entered
into the Series 1997-1 Supplement dated as of July 30, 1997 (the "Original
Series 1997-1 Supplement") pursuant to which the Series 1997-1 Notes were
issued;

            WHEREAS, AFC-II desires to amend and restate the Original Series
1997-1 Supplement to replace the amounts required to be on deposit in the Series
1997-1 Reserve Account with one or more demand notes and one or more letters of
credit; and

            WHEREAS, the Original Series 1997-1 Supplement may be amended
pursuant to Section 6.7 and 6.11 thereof with the consent of the Surety
Provider, and the Surety Provider has consented to the amendment of the Original
Series 1997-1 Supplement in the form of this Supplement.

            NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   DESIGNATION

            There was created a Series of Notes issued pursuant to the Base
Indenture and the Original Series 1997-1 Supplement and such Series of Notes was
designated generally as Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Series 1997-1.
The Series 1997-1 Notes were issued in two classes: (i) the Class A-1 Rental Car
Asset Backed Notes, which were designated generally as the Class A-1 Notes and
(ii) the Class A-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, which were designated
generally as the Class A-2 Notes. The Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes
are referred to collectively as the "Series 1997-1 Notes."

            The proceeds from the sale of the Series 1997-1 Notes were deposited
in the Collection Account and were paid to AFC-II and used to make Loans under
the Loan Agreements to the extent that the Borrowers have requested Loans
thereunder and Eligible Vehicles are available to acquire or refinance
thereunder on the date hereof. Any such portion of proceeds not so used to make
shall be deemed to be Principal Collections.

            The Series 1997-1 Notes are a non-Segregated Series of Notes (as
more fully described in the Base Indenture). Accordingly, all references in this
Supplement to "all" Series

<PAGE>

of Notes (and all references in this Supplement to terms defined in the Base
Indenture that contain references to "all" Series of Notes) shall refer to all
Series of Notes other than Segregated Series of Notes.

failed to pay to the Trustee or deposit into the Series 1997-1 Distribution
Account the amount specified in such Demand Notice in whole or in part or (y)
due to the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy (or the occurrence of an event
described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, without the lapse of a period
of 60 consecutive days) with respect to one or more of the Demand Note Issuers,
the Trustee shall not have delivered such Demand Notice to the Demand Note
Issuers on the second Business Day preceding the Series 1997-1 Final
Distribution Date, then, in the case of (x) or (y), the Trustee shall draw on
the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such
Business Day an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount that the Demand
Note Issuers failed to pay under the Series 1997-1 Demand Notes (or, the amount

1997-1 Letter of Credit Amount on such Business Day by presenting to each Series
1997-1 Letter of Credit Provider (with a copy to the Surety Provider) a draft
accompanied by a Certificate of Unpaid Demand Note Demand; PROVIDED, HOWEVER
that if the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account has been established and
funded, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral
Account and deposit in the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account an amount equal to
the lesser of (x) the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Percentage on such Business
Day of the amount that the Demand Note Issuers failed to pay under the Series
1997-1 Demand Notes (or, the amount that the Trustee failed to demand for
payment thereunder) and (y) the Series 1997-1 Available Cash Collateral Account
Amount on such Business Day and draw an amount equal to the remainder of the
amount that the Demand Note Issuers failed to pay under the Series 1997-1 Demand
Notes (or, the amount that the Trustee failed to demand for payment thereunder)
on the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit. The Trustee shall deposit, or cause the
deposit of, the proceeds of any draw on the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit and

to the deposit into the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account of the amount to be
deposited in accordance with SECTION 2.5(a) of this Supplement and the amounts
described in the preceding three sentences, the amount to be deposited in the
Series 1997-1 Distribution Account with respect to the Series 1997-1 Final
Distribution Date is or will be less than the Series 1997-1 Invested Amount, as
the case may be, the Trustee shall make a demand on the Surety Bond by 12:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding such Distribution
Date in an amount equal to such insufficiency in accordance with the terms
thereof (PROVIDED that for the purposes of a draw on the Surety Bond, the phrase
"amounts in the Series 1997-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1997-1
Reserve Account" in the Surety Bond shall include, without duplication, the
Series 1997-1 Liquidity Amount) and shall cause the proceeds thereof to be
deposited in the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account. The entire outstanding
principal amount of the Series 1997-1 Notes shall be due and payable on the
Series 1997-1 Final Distribution Date.

            (c) PRINCIPAL DEFICIT AMOUNT. If on any Determination Date, the
Administrator determines that the Principal Deficit Amount with respect to the

Distribution Account on the following Distribution Date an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the Series 1997-1 Available Reserve Account Amount and (ii) the
Principal Deficit Amount. The Trustee shall withdraw such amount from the Series
1997-1 Reserve Account and deposit such amount in the Series 1997-1 Distribution
Account on or prior to such Distribution Date. If the Series 1997-1 Available
Reserve Account Amount is less than the Principal Deficit Amount and there are
any Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit on such date, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, the

to the Demand Note Issuers demanding payment of an amount equal to the least of
(A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Series 1997-1 Demand
Notes, (B) the remaining Principal Deficit Amount and (C) the Series 1997-1
Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount. The Trustee shall, prior to 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on the second Business Day preceding such Distribution Date,
deliver such Demand Notice to the Demand Note Issuers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
if an Event of Bankruptcy (or the occurrence of an event described in clause (a)
of the definition thereof, without the lapse of a period of 60 consecutive days)
with respect to a Demand Note Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee shall not be required to deliver such Demand Notice to the Demand Note
Issuers. The Trustee shall cause the proceeds of any demand on the Series 1997-1
Demand Note to be deposited into the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account. In the
event that either (x) on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, any Demand Note Issuer shall have
failed to pay to the Trustee or deposit in the Series 1997-1 Distribution
Account the amount specified in such Demand Notice in whole or in part or (y)
due to the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy (or the occurrence of an event
described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, without the lapse of a period
of 60 consecutive days) with respect to any Demand Note Issuer, the Trustee
shall not have delivered such Demand Notice to the Demand Note Issuers on the
second Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, then, in the case of (x)
or (y), the Trustee shall on such Business Day draw on the Series 1997-1 Letters
of Credit an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit
Amount and (ii) the aggregate amount that the Demand Note Issuers failed to pay
under the Series 1997-1 Demand Notes (or, the amount that the Trustee failed to
demand for payment thereunder) by presenting to each Series 1997-1 Letter of
Credit Provider (with a copy to the Surety Provider) a draft accompanied by a
Certificate of Unpaid Demand Note Demand; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Series
1997-1 Cash Collateral Account has been established and funded, the Trustee
shall withdraw from the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account and deposit in the
Series 1997-1 Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Percentage on such Business Day of the aggregate
amount that the Demand Note Issuers failed to pay under the Series 1997-1 Demand
Notes (or, the amount that the Trustee failed to demand for payment thereunder)
and (y) the Series 1997-1 Available Cash Collateral Account Amount on such
Business Day and draw an amount equal to the remainder of the aggregate amount
that the Demand Note Issuers failed to pay under the Series 1997-1 Demand Notes
(or, the amount that the Trustee failed to demand for payment thereunder) on the
Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit. The Trustee shall deposit into, or cause the
deposit of, the proceeds of any draw on the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit and
the proceeds of any withdrawal from the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account to
be deposited in

                                      -26-

the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account. If the aggregate amount of the Series
1997-1 Demand Notes or the Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit Amount is less than
the remaining Principal Deficit Amount, the Trustee shall make a demand on the
Surety Bond by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day
preceding such Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of such
insufficiency and shall cause the proceeds thereof (PROVIDED that for the
purposes of a draw on the Surety Bond, the phrase "amounts in the Series 1997-1
Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account" in the Surety
Bond shall include, without duplication, the Series 1997-1 Liquidity Amount) to
be deposited in the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account.

            (d) DISTRIBUTION. On each Distribution Date occurring on or after
the date a withdrawal is made from the Series 1997-1 Collection Account pursuant
to Section 2.5(a) of this Supplement or amounts are deposited in the Series
1997-1 Distribution Account pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c) of this

            Section 2.6 ADMINISTRATOR'S FAILURE TO INSTRUCT THE TRUSTEE TO MAKE
A DEPOSIT OR PAYMENT. If the Administrator fails to give notice or instructions
to make any payment from or deposit into the Collection Account required to be
given by the Administrator, at the time specified in the Administration
Agreement or any other Related Document (including applicable grace periods),
the Trustee shall make such payment or deposit into or from the Collection
Account without such notice or instruction from the Administrator, provided that
the Administrator, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provides the Trustee
with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such a payment or
deposit. When any payment or deposit hereunder or under any other Related
Document is required to be made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent at or prior
to a specified time, the Administrator shall deliver any applicable written
instructions with respect thereto reasonably in advance of such specified time.

            Section 2.7 SERIES 1997-1 RESERVE ACCOUNT. Establishment of Series
1997-1 Reserve Account. AFC-II shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Series 1997-1 Agent for the benefit of the Series 1997-1 Noteholders and the
Surety Provider, or cause to be established and maintained, an account (the
"Series 1997-1 Reserve Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that
the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Noteholders and the Surety Provider. The Series 1997-1 Reserve Account shall be
maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust
account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust
company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited
in the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account; PROVIDED that, if at any time such
Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating
of any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall
be reduced to below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's, then AFC-II shall, within 30
days of such reduction, establish a

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

new Series 1997-1 Reserve Account with a new Qualified Institution. If the
Series 1997-1 Reserve Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous
sentence, AFC-II shall establish a new Series 1997-1 Reserve Account, within ten
(10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with
such sentence, and shall instruct the Series 1997-1 Agent in writing to transfer
all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 1997-1 Reserve Account
into the new Series 1997-1 Reserve Account. Initially, the Series 1997-1 Reserve
Account was established with Harris Trust and Savings Bank.

            (b) ADMINISTRATION OF THE SERIES 1997-1 RESERVE ACCOUNT. The
Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 1997-1 Reserve
Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account from
time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such
investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless
any Permitted Investment held in the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account is held with
the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such Distribution Date and
such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution
Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 1997-1
Reserve Account.

            (c) EARNINGS FROM SERIES 1997-1 RESERVE ACCOUNT. All interest and
earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the
Series 1997-1 Reserve Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and
available for distribution.

            (d) SERIES 1997-1 RESERVE ACCOUNT CONSTITUTES ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL
FOR SERIES 1997-1 NOTES. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and
payment of the AFC-II Obligations with respect to the Series 1997-1 Notes,
AFC-II hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants,
transfers and sets over to the Series 1997-1 Agent, for the benefit of the
Series 1997-1 Noteholders and the Surety Provider, all of AFC-II's right, title

time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in, respect of or in
exchange for the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account, the funds on deposit therein
from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds
of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items
in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the
"Series 1997-1 Reserve Account Collateral"). The Series 1997-1 Agent shall
possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time
in the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account and in all, proceeds thereof, and shall be
the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the
Series 1997-1 Reserve Account. The Series 1997-1 Reserve Account Collateral
shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Series 1997-1 Agent for the
benefit of the Series 1997-1 Noteholders and the Surety Provider.

Series 1997-1 Reserve Account Surplus on any Distribution Date, after giving
effect to all withdrawals from the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account, is greater
than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of
the Administrator (with a copy of such written instructions to be provided by
the Administrator to the Surety Provider) pursuant to the Administration
Agreement, if no Series 2001-1 Enhancement Deficiency or AESOP I Operating Lease
Vehicle Deficiency would result therefrom or exist thereafter, shall withdraw
from the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account an amount equal to the Series 1997-1
Reserve Account Surplus and shall pay such amount to AFC-II. On the date hereof,
after giving effect to the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit, the Trustee, acting
in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, if no
Amortization Event, Series 1997-1 Enhancement Deficiency or AESOP I Operating
Lease Vehicle Deficiency would result therefrom or exist thereafter, shall
withdraw from the Series 1997-1 Reserve Account an amount equal to the Series
1997-1 Reserve Account Surplus and shall pay such amount to AFC-II.

            (f) TERMINATION OF SERIES 1997-1 RESERVE ACCOUNT. Upon the
termination of the Indenture pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Base Indenture, the
Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the
Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1997-1
Noteholders and to the Surety Provider and payable from the Series 1997-1
Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 1997-1
Reserve Account all amounts on deposit therein for payment to AFC-II.

      acquired): (i) each Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit; (ii) the Series 1997-1
      Cash Collateral Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (iii)
      all funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account from

      limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (ii) through (vii)
      are referred to, collectively, as the "Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral
      Account Collateral"). The Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Series
      1997-1 Noteholders and the Surety Provider, possess all right, title and

      Collateral Account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only

      1997-1 Cash Collateral Account. The Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account

      such Business Day on the Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit as calculated by
      the Administrator and provided in writing to the Trustee and the Surety
      Provider.

            (e) DRAWS ON THE SERIES 1997-1 LETTERS OF CREDIT. If there is more
      than one Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit on the date of any draw on the
      Series 1997-1 Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Supplement,
      the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee, in writing, to draw on each

      the Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit Provider issuing such Series 1997-1
      Letter of Credit of the amount of such draw on the Series 1997-1 Letters
      of Credit.

            (f) ESTABLISHMENT OF SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. On or
      prior to the date of any drawing under a Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit
      pursuant to SECTION 2.8(b), (c) or (d) above, AFC-II shall establish and
      maintain in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
      Noteholders and the Surety Provider, or cause to be established and
      maintained, an account (the "Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account"),
      bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein
      are held for the benefit of the Series 1997-1 Noteholders and the Surety
      Provider. The Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained
      (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account
      with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust
      company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds
      deposited in the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account; PROVIDED that, if
      at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified
      Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such
      depository institution or trust company shall be reduced to below BBB- by
      S&P or Baa3 by Moody's, then AFC-II shall, within 30 days of such
      reduction, establish a new Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account with a
      new Qualified Institution or a new segregated trust account with the
      corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company
      having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in
      the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account. If a new Series 1997-1 Cash
      Collateral Account is established, AFC-II shall instruct the Trustee in
      writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying
      Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account into the new Series 1997-1 Cash
      Collateral Account.

            (g) ADMINISTRATION OF THE SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT.
      AFC-II may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the
      institution maintaining the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account to
      invest funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account from
      time to time in Permitted Investments; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such
      investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the
      Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received,
      unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral
      Account is held with the Paying Agent, in which case such investment may
      mature on such Distribution Date so long as such funds shall be available
      for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted
      Investments will be credited to the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account
      and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property
      (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security
      entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Trustee; (ii) United
      States security entitlements or security entitlements

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

      shall be controlled by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition, and
      (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security
      entitlements) shall be delivered to the Trustee by causing the Trustee to
      become the registered holder of such securities. The Trustee shall, at the
      expense of AFC-II, take such action as is required to maintain the
      Trustee's security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the
      Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account. AFC-II shall not direct the Trustee
      to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior
      to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss
      of principal of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written
      investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1
      Cash Collateral Account shall remain uninvested.

            (h) EARNINGS FROM SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. All
      interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on
      funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be
      deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.

            (i) SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT SURPLUS. In the event that
      the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Distribution Date
      (or, after the Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date, on any
      date) is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the
      written instructions (a copy of which shall be provided by the
      Administrator to the Surety Provider) of the Administrator, shall withdraw
      from the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the
      Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus and shall pay such amount:
      FIRST, to the Series 1997-1 Letter of Credit Providers to the extent of
      any unreimbursed drawings under the related Series 1997-1 Reimbursement
      Agreement, for application in accordance with the provisions of the
      related Series 1997-1 Reimbursement Agreement, and, SECOND, to AFC-II any
      remaining amount.

            (j) POST-SERIES 1997-1 LETTER OF CREDIT TERMINATION DATE WITHDRAWALS
      FROM THE SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. If the Surety Provider
      notifies the Trustee in writing that the Surety Provider shall have paid a
      Preference Amount (as defined in the Surety Bond) under the Surety Bond,
      subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next
      succeeding sentence, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Series 1997-1
      Cash Collateral Account and pay to the Surety Provider an amount equal to
      the lesser of (i) the Series 1997-1 Available Cash Collateral Account
      Amount on such date and (ii) such Preference Amount. Prior to any
      withdrawal from the Series 1997-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this
      SECTION 2.8(J), the Trustee shall have received a certified copy of the
      order requiring the return of such Preference Amount.

            (k) TERMINATION OF SERIES 1997-1 CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. Upon the
      termination of this Supplement in accordance with its terms, the Trustee,
      acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator,
      after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 1997-1
      Noteholders and to the Surety Provider and payable from the Series 1997-1
      Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series
      1997-1 Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit therein (to the
      extent not withdrawn pursuant to SECTION 2.8(i) above) and shall pay such
      amounts: FIRST, to the Series

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

      drawings under the related Series 1997-1 Reimbursement Agreement, for
      application in accordance with the provisions of the related Series 1997-1
      Reimbursement Agreement, and, SECOND, to AFC-II any remaining amount.

            Section 2.9 SERIES 1997-1 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. ESTABLISHMENT OF
SERIES 1997-1 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. The Trustee shall establish and maintain in
the name of the Series 1997-1 Agent for the benefit of the Series 1997-1
Noteholders and the Surety Provider, or cause to be established and maintained,
an account (the "Series 1997-1 Distribution Account"), bearing a designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Series 1997-1 Noteholders and the Surety Provider. The Series 1997-1
Distribution Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or
(ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a
depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting
as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account;
PROVIDED that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a
Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such
depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below BBB- by S&P or
Baa3 by Moody's, then AFC-II shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish
a new Series 1997-1 Distribution Account with a new Qualified Institution. If
the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account is not maintained in accordance with the
previous sentence, AFC-II shall establish a new Distribution Account, within ten
(10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with
such sentence, and shall instruct the Series 1997-1 Agent in writing to transfer
all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 1997-1 Distribution
Account into the new Series 1997-1 Distribution Account. Initially, the Series
1997-1 Distribution Account was established with Harris Trust and Savings Bank.

            (b) ADMINISTRATION OF THE SERIES 1997-1 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. The
Administrator may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 1997-1
Distribution Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 1997-1
Distribution Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were
received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 1997-1 Distribution
Account is held with the Paying Agent, then such investment may mature on such
Distribution Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior
to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to
the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account.

            (c) EARNINGS FROM SERIES 1997-1 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT. All interest
and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in
the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account shall be deemed to be on deposit and
available for distribution.

            (d) SERIES 1997-1 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT CONSTITUTES ADDITIONAL
COLLATERAL FOR SERIES 1997-1 NOTES. In order to secure and provide for the
repayment and payment of the AFC-II Obligations with respect to the Series
1997-1 Notes, AFC-II hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges,
grants, transfers and sets over to the Series 1997-1 Agent, for the benefit of

the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing

right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Series 1997-1 Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the
only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series
1997-1 Distribution Account. The Series 1997-1 Distribution Account Collateral

                                   ARTICLE IV

                      RIGHT TO WAIVE PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or
the Related Documents, upon the Trustee's receipt of notice from any Lessee, any
Borrower or AFC-II (i) to the effect that a Manufacturer Program is no longer an
Eligible Manufacturer Program and that, as a result, the Series 1997-1 Maximum
Non-Program Vehicle Amount is or will be exceeded or (ii) that the Lessees, the
Borrowers and AFC-II have determined to increase any Series 1997-1 Maximum
Amount, (such notice, a "Waiver Request"), each Series 1997-1 Noteholder may, at
its option, waive the Series 1997-1 Maximum Non-Program Vehicle Amount or any
other Series 1997-1 Maximum Amount if (i) no Amortization Event exists, (ii) the
Requisite Noteholders and the Surety Provider consent to such waiver and (iii)
60 days' prior written notice of such proposed waiver is provided to the Rating
Agencies by the Trustee.

            Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request (a copy of which the
Trustee shall promptly provide to the Rating Agencies), all amounts which would
otherwise be allocated to the Series 1997-1 Excess Collection Account
(collectively, the "Designated Amounts") from the date the Trustee receives a
Waiver Request through the Consent Period Expiration Date will be held by the
Trustee in the Series 1997-1 Collection Account for ratable -distribution as
described below.

            Within ten (10) Business Days after the Trustee receives a Waiver
Request, the Trustee shall furnish notice thereof to the Series 1997-1
Noteholders and the Surety Provider, which notice shall be accompanied by a form
of consent (each a "Consent") in the form of Exhibit B hereto by which the
Series 1997-1 Noteholders may, on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date,
consent to waiver of the applicable Series 1997-1 Maximum Amount. If the Trustee
receives the consent of the Surety Provider and Consents from the Requisite
Noteholders agreeing to waiver of the applicable Series 1997-1 Maximum Amount
within forty-five (45) days after the Trustee notifies the Series 1997-1
Noteholders of a Waiver Request (the day on which such forty-five (45) day
period expires, the "Consent Period Expiration Date"), (i) the applicable Series
1997-1 Maximum Amount shall be deemed waived by the consenting Series 1997-1
Noteholders, (ii) the Trustee will distribute the Designated Amounts as set
forth below and (iii) the Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within two
days) provide the Rating Agency with notice of such waiver. Any Series 1997-1
Noteholder from whom the Trustee has not received a Consent on or before the
Consent Period Expiration Date will be deemed not to have consented to such
waiver.

            If the Trustee receives Consents from the Requisite Noteholders on
or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, then on the immediately following
Distribution Date, the Trustee will pay the Designated Amounts as follows:

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

            (i) to the non-consenting Series 1997-1 Noteholders, if any, PRO
      RATA up to the amount required to pay all Series 1997-1 Notes held by such
      non-consenting Series 1997-1 Noteholders in full; and

            (ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 1997-1 Excess
      Collection Account.

            If the amount paid pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph
is not paid in full on the date specified therein, then on each day following
such Distribution Date, the Administrator will allocate to the Series 1997-1
Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such
day. On each following Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw a portion of
such Designated Amounts from the Series 1997-1 Collection Account and deposit
same in the Series 1997-1 Distribution Account for distribution as follows:

            (a) to the non-consenting Series 1997-1 Noteholders, if any, PRO
      RATA an amount equal to the Designated Amounts in the Series 1997-1
      Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the
      aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Series 1997-1 Notes held by
      the non-consenting Series 1997-1 Noteholders; and

            (b) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 1997-1 Excess
      Collection Account.

            If the Requisite Noteholders or the Surety Provider do not timely
consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be re-allocated to the
Series 1997-1 Excess Collection Account for allocation and distribution in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Related Documents.

            In the event that the Series 1997-1 Rapid Amortization Period shall
commence after receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request, all such Designated
Amounts will thereafter be considered Principal Collections allocated to the
Series 1997-1 Noteholders.

AFC-II acknowledge that, to the extent of any payment made by the Surety
Provider under the Surety Bond with respect to interest on or principal of the

the Series 1997-1 Noteholders under the Indenture. Each of AFC-II and the
Trustee agree to such subrogation and, further, agree to take such actions as
the Surety Provider may reasonably request in writing to evidence such
subrogation.

to be of further effect when all outstanding Series 1997-1 Notes theretofore

                           [REVERSE OF CLASS A-1 NOTE]

            This Class A-1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-1
Notes of the Company, designated as its Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed
Notes, Class A-1 (herein called the "Class A-1 Notes"), all issued under (i) an
Amended and Restated Base Indenture dated as of July 30, 1997 (such Base
Indenture, as amended or modified, is herein called the "Base Indenture"),
between the Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee* .(the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee under the Base Indenture),
and (ii) a Series 1997-1 Supplement dated as of July 30, 1997 (the "Series
1997-1 Supplement") between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture and
the Series 1997-1 Supplement are referred to herein as the "Indenture". The
Class A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in
this Class A-1 Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or
amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the
Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

            The Class A-1 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by
the Series 1997-1 Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture and the Series 1997-1 Supplement.

            Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each
Distribution Date specified in and in the amounts described in the Indenture.
"Distribution Date" means the 20th day of each month, or, if any such date is

Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Amortization Event,

circumstances, principal on the Class A-1 Notes may be paid earlier, as
described in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall
be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto.

repurchase of the Class A-1 Notes shall equal the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of such Class A-1 Notes (determined after giving effect to any

more new Class A-1 Notes of authorized denominations in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of
this Class A-1 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

OBLIGATIONS:      $1,650,000,000

                  Rental Car Asset Backed Notes
                  Class A- I and Class A-2

      A note guaranty insurance policy (the "Policy') with respect to the
above-referenced obligations (the "Obligations") has been issued by MBIA
Insurance Corporation (the "Insurer") and is on file at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee.

      The Insurer in consideration of the payment of the premium and subject to
the terms of the Policy, thereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
any Owner that an amount equal to each M and complete Insured Payment will be
received by Harris Trust and Savings Bank, or its successor, as trustee for the
Owners (the "Trustee7), on behalf of the Owners from the Insurer, for
distribution by the Trustee to each Owner of each Owner's proportionate share of
the Insured Payment. The Insurer's obligations under the Policy with respect to
a particular Insured Payment shall be discharged to the extent funds equal to
the applicable Insured Payment are received by the Trustee, whether or not such
funds are properly applied by the Trustee. Insured Payments shall be made only
at the time set forth in the Policy, and no accelerated Insured Payments shall
be made regardless of any acceleration of the Obligations, unless such
acceleration is at the sole option of the Insurer. The Insured Payments do not
include and the Policy does not insure any distributions of any Controlled
Distribution Amounts.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Policy does not cover
shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability of the Issuer or the Trustee
for withholding taxes, if any (including interest and penalties in respect of
any such liability).

      The Insurer will pay any Insured Payment that is a Preference Amount on
the Business Day following receipt on a Business Day by the Fiscal Agent (as
described below) of (i) a certified copy of the order requiring the return of
such Preference Amount, (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Insurer
that such order is final and not subject to appeal, (iii) an assignment in such
form as is reasonably required by the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the
Insurer all rights and claims of the Owner relating to or arising under the
Obligations against the debtor which made such preference payment or otherwise
with respect to such preference payment and (iv) appropriate instruments to
effect the appointment of the Insurer as agent for such Owner in any legal
proceeding related to such preference payment, such instruments being in a form
satisfactory to the Insurer, provided that if such documents are received after
12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, they will be deemed to be
received on the following Business Day. Such payments shall be disbursed to the
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court
exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Owner and not to any Owner directly
unless such Owner has returned principal or interest paid on the Obligations to
such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case such payment shall be
disbursed to such Owner.

      The Insurer will pay any other amount payable under the Policy no later

which the related Deficiency Amount is due or the second Business Day following
receipt in New York, New York on a Business Day by State Street Bank and Trust
Company, N.A., as Fiscal Agent for the Insurer or any successor fiscal agent
appointed by the Insurer (the "Fiscal Agent") of a Notice (as described below);
provided that if such Notice is received after 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on such Business Day, it will be deemed to be received on the following Business
Day. If any such Notice received by the Fiscal Agent is not in proper form or is
otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making claim under the Policy, it
shall be deemed not to have been received by the Fiscal Agent for purposes of
this paragraph, and the Insurer or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, shall
promptly so advise the Trustee and the Trustee may submit an amended Notice.

      Insured Payments due under the Policy, unless otherwise stated in the
Policy, will be disbursed by the Fiscal Agent to the Trustee on behalf of the
Owners by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the
Insured Payment less, in respect of Insured Payments related to Preference
Amounts, any amount held by the Trustee for the payment of such Insured Payment
and legally available therefor.

      The Fiscal Agent is the agent of the Insurer only, and the Fiscal Agent
shall in no event be liable to Owners for any acts of the Fiscal Agent or any
failure of the Insurer to deposit, or cause to be deposited, sufficient funds to
make payments due under this Policy.

to this paragraph, such exchange may be effected, without the issue of a new
Permanent Global Note, by the Company or its agent endorsing Part I of Schedule

accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear or
Cedel. Each person who is shown in the records of Euroclear and Cedel as

Global Note will be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any paying agent as
the holder of such number of Notes. For purposes of this Temporary Global Note,
the securities account records of Euroclear or Cedel shall, in the absence of
manifest ,error, be conclusive evidence of the identity of the holders of Notes
and of the principal amount of Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note
credited to the securities accounts of such holders of Notes. Any statement
issued by Euroclear or Cedel to any holder relating to a specified Note or Notes
credited to the securities account of such holder and stating the principal
amount of such Note or Notes and certified by Euroclear or Cedel to be a true
record of such securities account shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive evidence of the records of Euroclear or Cedel for the purposes of the
next preceding sentence (but without prejudice to any other means of producing
such records in evidence). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Temporary Global Note, the Company irrevocably agrees, for the
benefit of such holder and its successors and assigns, that, subject to the
provisions of the Indenture, each holder or its successors or assigns may file
any claim, take any action or institute any proceeding to enforce, directly
against the Company, the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount
due in respect of each Note represented by this Temporary Global Note which is
credited to such holder's securities account with Euroclear or Cedel without the
production of this Temporary Global Note.

the Trustee and any paying agent as the holder of such number of Notes. For
purposes of this Permanent Global Note, the securities account records of
Euroclear or Cedel shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
evidence of the identity of the holders of Notes and of the principal amount of
Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note credited to the securities
accounts of such holders of Notes. Any statement issued by Euroclear or Cedel to
any holder relating to a specified Note or Notes credited to the securities
account of such holder and stating the principal amount of such Note or Notes

(but without prejudice to any other means of producing such records in
evidence). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Permanent Global Note, the Company irrevocably agrees, for the benefit of such

account records of Euroclear or Cedel shall, in the absence of manifest error ,
be conclusive evidence of the identity of the holders of Notes and of the
principal amount of Notes represented by this Temporary Global Note credited to
the securities accounts of such holders of Notes. Any statement issued by
Euroclear or Cedel to any holder relating to a specified Note or Notes credited
to the securities account of such holder and stating the principal amount of
such Note or Notes and certified by Euroclear or Cedel to be a true record of
such securities account shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive

preceding sentence (but without prejudice to any other means of producing such
records in evidence). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Temporary Global Note, the Company irrevocably agrees, for the benefit of
such holder and its successors and assigns, that, subject to the provisions of

Indenture, as amended or modified, is herein called the "Base Indenture"),
between the Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee under the Base Indenture),
and (ii) a Series 1997-1 Supplement dated as of July -, 1997 (the "Series 1997-1
Supplement") between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture and the
Series 1997-1 Supplement are referred to herein as the "Indenture". The Class
A-2 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this
Class A-2 Note that are defined in Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall
have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so
supplemented or amended.

            The Class A-2 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by

more new Class A-2 Notes of authorized denominations in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of
this Class A-2 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient
