any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference
thereto on the face of the Note.

         The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or

         SECTION 2.2. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The
signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or
facsimile.

         Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were

Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold
such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not

<PAGE>

         The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver

Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $228,000,000,

valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

         SECTION 2.3. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive
Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are

variations not inconsistent with this Indenture as the officers executing such
Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

         If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall

Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for
the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The
Indenture Trustee shall be the "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any
Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects
not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

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

                                      4
<PAGE>

Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the
Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the
requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute,
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from
the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate
principal amount.

         At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other new Notes
of the same Class in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of
Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture
Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

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

         Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or
such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with
the Exchange Act.

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

         SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If: (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to hold the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, respectively, harmless, then, in the absence
of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such
Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and
upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or

                                      5
<PAGE>

within seven days shall be, due and payable, or shall have been called for
redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
(or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the
preceding sentence), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which
such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement
Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person
taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was
delivered (or payment made) or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide
purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

         SECTION 2.6. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a)
The A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3a Notes, A-3b Notes, A-4a Notes, A-4b Notes and
Class B Notes shall accrue interest at the A-1 Note Rate, the A-2 Note Rate, the
A-3a Note Rate, the A-3b Note Rate, the A-4a Note Rate, the A-4b Note Rate and
the Class B Note Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each
Payment Date, subject to Section 3.1. Any installment of interest or principal,
if any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the
Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by
check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person's address as it
appears on the Note Register on such Record Date. However, unless Definitive
Notes have been issued, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in
the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be
Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available

                                      6
<PAGE>

funds to the account designated by such nominee. Notwithstanding the above, the
final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note (and except for
the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section
10.1(a)) shall be payable as provided in clause (b)(ii). The funds represented
by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section
3.3.

         (b) (i) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on
each Payment Date as provided in this Indenture, and except as provided below
each such installment shall be due and payable only to the extent that there are
funds available to make the payment in accordance with the Basic Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the entire Outstanding Amount of each Class
of Notes shall be due and payable on the related Class Final Scheduled Maturity
Date, and (B) the entire Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes shall be due
and payable, ratably to all Noteholders, on any date on which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in Section 5.2. All principal payments on each Class of Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of that Class.

                  (ii) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose
         name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
         preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final
         installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid.
         Such notice shall be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to
         such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment
         will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and
         shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and
         surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with
         redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in
         Section 10.2.

         (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the
Issuer shall pay, in any lawful manner, defaulted interest (plus interest on
such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable interest rate
from the Payment Date for which such payment is in default. The Issuer may pay
such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent
special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to
the special payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such
special record date and special payment date, and, at least 15 days before any
such special record date, shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the
special record date, the special payment date and the amount of defaulted
interest to be paid.

         SECTION 2.8. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes canceled as provided in this Section except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in

                                      7
<PAGE>

effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they
be returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have
not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.9. Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.1 and the
Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of
this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an
Officers' Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in
accordance with TIA ss.ss.314(c) and 314(d)(l), or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu
of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any
such Independent Certificates.

         SECTION 2.10. Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to
be delivered to The Depository Trust Company (the initial Clearing Agency), or
its custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner of such Note will receive a
Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as
provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes
(the "Definitive Notes") representing Notes have been issued to Note Owners:

                  (i) this Section shall be in full force and effect;

                  (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal
         with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of
         principal of and interest on the Notes) as the authorized
         representative of the Note Owners;

                  (iii) to the extent that this Section conflicts with any other
         provisions of this Indenture, this Section shall control;

                  (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through
         the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law
         and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or
         the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository
         Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued, the Clearing
         Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
         Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
         interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

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

         SECTION 2.11. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and

                                     8
<PAGE>

until Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee
shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.

         SECTION 2.12. Definitive Notes. If: (i) the Administrator advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and
the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency has undertaken
to notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate, the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

         SECTION 2.13. Tax Treatment. It is the intent of the Seller, the
Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and
State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, until
the Certificates are held by other than the Seller, the Trust be disregarded as
an entity separate from the Seller and the Notes be treated as debt of the
Seller. At such time that the Certificates are held by more than one Person, it
is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners
that, for such tax purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership and the Notes
be treated as debt of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of
a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees
to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes
for such tax purposes as provided in this Section 2.13.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                    Covenants

         SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly
and punctually pay the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the
foregoing, subject to Section 8.2(c), the Issuer will cause to be distributed
all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Payment Date
deposited therein for the benefit of the Notes pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement to Holders of the Notes. Amounts properly withheld under the
Code or any applicable State law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder
of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the
Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

                                      9
<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture
Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give
prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Counterparties of the
location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.

         SECTION 3.3. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in
Section 8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account
and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on
behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no
amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution
Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as
provided in this Section.

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

         Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice
thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer shall
be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided
in Section 6.11.

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

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

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

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

                                      10
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 3.4. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the
Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the
Trust Estate.

         SECTION 3.5. Protection of the Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time
to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all
such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further
assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or
advisable to:

                                      11
<PAGE>

                  (i) maintain or preserve the Lien and security interest (and
         the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively
         the purposes hereof;

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

                  (iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

                  (iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the
         rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust
         Estate against the claims of all Persons.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement,
instrument of further assurance or other instrument required to be executed to
accomplish the foregoing.

         SECTION 3.6. Opinions as to the Trust Estate. (a) On the Closing Date,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with
respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as
are necessary to perfect and make effective the Lien and security interest
created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such
Lien and security interest effective.

         (b) On or before April 30 in each calendar year commencing in the
calendar year 2004, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has
been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements, as is necessary to maintain the Lien and
security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or
stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to
maintain such Lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also
describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any
indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements,
that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the Lien and
security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the following calendar
year.

         SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. (a)
The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit
any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any material
covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust
Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination,
termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any
such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture,
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

         (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties

                                      12
<PAGE>

by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officers' Certificate of
the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the
Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

         (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic
Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate,
including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and
continuation statements required to be filed by this Indenture and the Sale and
Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for
herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer
shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or
any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

         (d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer
Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the
Counterparties and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice
the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default. If a
Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of
its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to
the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to
remedy such failure.

         (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination
to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer
(the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and
accepted its appointment at the time when the previous Servicer ceases to act as
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be
appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the
Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such
event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be
effective until the date a Successor Servicer enters into a servicing agreement
with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the
Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the
Indenture Trustee shall: (i) be an established financial institution having a
net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the
servicing of receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the
Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the
delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained
such a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In accordance
with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter
into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the
Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous
Servicer's duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do
so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and,
accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture
Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the
Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled
to act through or appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that
it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its

                                      13

capacity as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing
fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicer fee paid hereunder and
the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor
Servicer under this Indenture and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein, or be liable for or be required to make any servicer advances.

         (f) Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the
Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer
shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such
notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

         (g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment
Granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a
majority of the Outstanding Amount, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate
or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination,
waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent
otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) or the Basic Documents,
or waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Case Credit and NH Credit, as applicable,
under the Purchase Agreements; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the
timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the
Noteholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that are
required to consent to any such amendment, in either case without the consent of
the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such
Holders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture
Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own
expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the
Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

         SECTION 3.8. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are
Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

                  (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the
         Purchase Agreements or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell,
         transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or
         assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate,
         unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

                  (ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the
         principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than
         amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or
         applicable State law) or assert any claim against any present or former
         Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed
         upon any part of the Trust Estate; or

                                      14
<PAGE>

                  (iii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this
         Indenture to be impaired, or permit the Lien of this Indenture to be
         amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or
         permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
         respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly
         permitted hereby, (B) permit any Lien (other than the Lien of this
         Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or
         burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or
         the proceeds thereof or (C) permit the Lien of this Indenture not to
         constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any tax
         lien, mechanics' lien or other lien not considered a Lien) security
         interest in the Trust Estate.

         SECTION 3.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver
to the Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year 2003, an Officers' Certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B, stating that:

                  (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year
         and of performance under this Indenture has been made under such
         Authorized Officers' supervision; and

                  (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officers' knowledge, based
         on such review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and
         covenants under this Indenture throughout such year or, if there has
         been a default in the compliance of any such condition or covenant,
         specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officers and the
         nature and status thereof.

         SECTION 3.10. Issuer May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority
of the Outstanding Amount may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and
payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if
given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the Outstanding Amount,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

         At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the
Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount, by written notice to the Issuer, the Counterparties and the Indenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

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

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

                  (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
         principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
         have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

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

         SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default
described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii) occurs, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal at the applicable interest rate, and, to the
extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon
overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate, and in
addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

         (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

                                       21
<PAGE>

         (c) In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by
such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

         (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee, trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to this Section, shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

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

                  (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law or regulations, to
         vote on behalf of the Holders of the Notes in any election of a
         trustee, a standby trustee or any Person performing similar functions
         in any such Proceedings;

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

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

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of
such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event
that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to

                                       22
<PAGE>

such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each
predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a
result of negligence or bad faith.

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

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

         (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

         SECTION 5.4. Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.5):

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

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

                  (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
         and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
         and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes;

                  (iv) sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof or rights
         or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
         conducted in any manner permitted by law; and

                  (v) make demand upon the Servicer, by written notice, that the
         Servicer deliver to the Indenture Trustee all Receivable Files;

                                       23
<PAGE>

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of
Default described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii), unless: (A) all the Noteholders
consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to
the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and
unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have
become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount. In
determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and
(C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of
an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as
to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Trust Estate for such purpose. The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as
a result of the sale of the Trust Estate or any part thereof at any sale
pursuant to this Section 5.4 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each
of the Issuer and Holders hereby waives any claims against the Indenture Trustee
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Trust Estate may have
been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been obtained,
even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not
offer the Trust Estate to more than one offeree, so long as such sale is
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

         (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

                  First: to pay the Servicer its accrued and unpaid Servicing
          Fee;

                  Second: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section
          6.7;

                  Third: to the Counterparties for due and unpaid Net Swap
         Payments (including interest on any overdue Net Swap Payments), if any,
         ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
         amount due under each Interest Rate Swap Agreement as Net Swap Payments
         (including interest on any overdue Net Swap Payments);

                  Fourth: with the same priority and ratably in proportion to
         the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes and the amounts due under
         clause (y) of this paragraph FOURTH, to (x) the Class A Noteholders for
         amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for interest, ratably,
         without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
         due and payable on the Class A Notes for interest, and (y) the
         Counterparties to pay any Swap Termination Payments due to them under
         the Interest Rate Swap Agreements, ratably, without preference or
         priority of any kind, according to the amounts due as Swap Termination
         Payments under each Interest Rate Swap Agreement; provided, that if any
         money or property remains after making the payments required by the
         immediately preceding clause (x), such money or property shall used to
         pay any remaining Swap Termination Payments due and payable under the
         Interest Rate Swap Agreements before any such money or property shall
         be distributed pursuant to paragraphs FIFTH through EIGHTH of this
         Section 5.4(b);

                                      24
<PAGE>

                  Fifth: to Class B Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on
         the Class B Notes for interest, ratably, without preference or priority
         of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class B
         Notes for interest;

                  Sixth: to Class A Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on
         the Class A Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or
         priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
         Class A Notes for principal until such Notes are paid in full;

                  Seventh: to Class B Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on
         the Class B Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or
         priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
         Class B Notes for principal until such Notes are paid in full;

                  Eighth: to the Issuer for distribution to the
Certificateholders.

         The Indenture Trustee may fix a special record date and special payment
date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days
before such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and
the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the special
payment date and the amount to be paid.

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

         SECTION 5.6. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

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

                  (ii) the Holder(s) of not less than 25% of the Outstanding
         Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee
         to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its
         own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

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

                                      25
<PAGE>

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

                  (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the
         Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

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

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

         SECTION 5.7. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

         SECTION 5.8. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

         SECTION 5.9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

         SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of Notes to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an

                                      26
<PAGE>

acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the
Noteholders, as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.11. Control by Noteholders. The Holders of not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available
to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:

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

                  (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any
         direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust
         Estate shall be by all the Noteholders;

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

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

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not
take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might
materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder(s) not consenting to
such action.

         SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or
decree for payment of money due has been obtained as described in Section 5.3,
the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default: (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes
or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

         SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as

                                      27
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney's fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to: (a) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of
or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).

         SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

         SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek
and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected
by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with
respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or
remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate
or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the
Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

         SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a)
Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the
Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance
by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to
the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreements in accordance
with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement (or the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreements) to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or
the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions
or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of
each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase
Agreements.

         (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing) of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of
the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the

                                      28
<PAGE>

Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to
compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each
of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

         (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing) of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of
the Seller against Case Credit or NH Credit, as applicable, under or in
connection with the Purchase Agreements, including the right or power to take
any action to compel or secure performance or observance by Case Credit or NH
Credit, as applicable, of each of its obligations to the Seller thereunder and
to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Purchase Agreements, and any right of the Seller to take such action
shall be suspended.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                             The Indenture Trustee

         SECTION 6.1. Duties of the Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

         (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default actually known
to a Responsible Officer:

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

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

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

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

                  (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error
         of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is

                                      29
<PAGE>

         conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the
         Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

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

                  (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
         of an Event of Default or Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer
         obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Indenture Trustee
         receives written notice of such event from the Seller, Servicer or Note
         Owners owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding
         Amount of the Notes; and

                  (v) the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the
         performance of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer, nor
         shall it have any liability in connection with malfeasance or
         nonfeasance by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer. The
         Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance
         of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer with statutory
         or regulatory requirements related to the Receivables. The Indenture
         Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or
         warranties with respect to the Receivables or the validity or
         sufficiency of any assignment of the Receivables to the Trust Estate or
         the Indenture Trustee.

         (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (g).

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) The Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting on any document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
Person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
any such document.

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

                                      30
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         (f) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or
periodic examination of any files or records related to the Receivables for the
purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by
the Issuer with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

         (g) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying
Agent or Note Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to the
Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

         SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity,
become the owner of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying
Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like
rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

         SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of, this Indenture or the Notes; shall not be accountable for the
Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes; and shall not be responsible for
any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture
Trustee's certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and is known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Counterparty and each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest
on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions
of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Noteholders and the Counterparties.

                                      31
<PAGE>

         SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to the Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable such Holder to prepare its Federal, State and other income tax returns.
Within 60 days after each December 31, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder a brief report as of such December 31 that complies with TIA ss.
313(a) (if required by said section).

         SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services as agreed to between the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee in writing. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall, or
shall cause the Servicer to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall
or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers,
directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify
the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its
obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend
the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer
shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture
Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith.

         The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee
incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv)
or (v), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

         SECTION 6.8. Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. No resignation or
removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the
Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing and may
appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture
Trustee if:

               (i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

               (ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

                                      32
<PAGE>

               (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
          Indenture Trustee or its property; or

               (iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
          acting.

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

         A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to the Counterparties and the Noteholders.
The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

         If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

         If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section 6.7
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The retiring
Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any act or omission by any
successor Trustee.

         SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies, the Counterparties and the Issuer
prompt written notice of any such transaction following the consummation
thereof; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.

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

         SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have
the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s), of all or any part of
the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no
notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 6.8.

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

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

                  (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
         of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the
         resignation of or remove, in its sole discretion, any separate trustee
         or co-trustee.

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

         (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in

                                      34
<PAGE>

respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

         (e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether
a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may be located.

         SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee
shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA ss. 310(a) and, upon Issuer
Order, Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition
and it shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt rating of "Baa3" or better
by Moody's (or, if not rated by Moody's, a comparable rating by another
statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA ss.
310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA
ss. 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the
operation of TIA ss. 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under which other securities of
the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
TIA ss. 310(b)(1) are met.

         If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is
deemed to have a conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for both
the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, a successor Indenture Trustee shall be
appointed for one or both of such Classes, so that there will be separate
Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes. No such event
shall alter the voting rights of the Class A Noteholders or the Class B
Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Basic Document. However, so long
as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the
Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise
remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section
5.4 and to the right of the Class B Noteholders to receive their share of any
proceeds of enforcement, subject to the subordination of the Class B Notes to
the Class A Notes as described herein). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in
full, all rights to exercise remedies under the Indenture will transfer to the
Indenture Trustee for the Class B Notes.

         In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture
Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture
Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes
shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein the each
successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the
Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee
relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to
all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary
or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which
the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee,
it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall

                                      35
<PAGE>

constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each
such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein.

         SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated.

         SECTION 6.13. Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee
hereby represents that:

         (a) the Indenture Trustee is duly organized and validly existing as a
New York banking corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of New
York with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business
as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted;

         (b) the Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery
and performance of this Indenture have been duly authorized by the Indenture
Trustee by all necessary corporate action;

         (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any
breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time) a default under the articles association or bylaws of
the Indenture Trustee or any material agreement or other instrument to which the
Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; and

         (d) to best of the Indenture Trustee's knowledge, there are no
proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee or its properties: (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity
or enforceability of, this Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                        Noteholders' Lists and Reports

         SECTION 7.1. Issuer To Furnish Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of
Noteholders. The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture
Trustee: (a) not more than five days after the earlier of: (i) each Record Date
and (ii) three months after the last Record Date, a list, in such form as the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Holders of Notes as of such Record Date, and (b) at such other times as the

                                      36
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the
Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not
more than 10 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however,
that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar, no such list shall
be required to be furnished.

         SECTION 7.2. Preservation of Information; Communications to
Noteholders. (a) The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as
is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided
in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Holders of Notes received by the
Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may
destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a
new list so furnished.

         (b) Three or more Noteholders, or one or more Holder(s) of Notes
evidencing at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, may communicate
pursuant to TIA ss. 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Notes.

         (c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have

provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and

Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs
in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument
that is part of the Collateral and the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such

Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in
Article V.

         SECTION 8.2. Trust Accounts. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the

         under each Interest Rate Swap Agreement as Net Swap Payments (including
         interest on any overdue Net Swap Payments);

                  (ii) with the same priority and ratably in proportion to the
         Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes and the amounts due under

         the Class Interest Amount for each Class of Class A Notes; provided,
         that if there are not sufficient funds in the Note Distribution Account
         to pay the entire amount of accrued and unpaid interest then due on
         such Notes, the amount in the Note Distribution Account shall be
         applied to the payment of such interest on such Notes pro rata on the
         basis of the total such interest due on such Notes, and (y) the
         Counterparties, any Class A Swap Termination Payments due to them under

<PAGE>

         Payments under each Class A Swap Agreement; provided, that if any money
         or property remains after making the payments required by the
         immediately preceding clause (x), such money or property shall be used
         to pay any remaining Class A Swap Termination Payments due and payable
         under the Class A Swap Agreements before any such money or property
         shall be distributed pursuant to Sections 8.2(c)(iii) through (vi);

                  (iii) to the Class B Noteholders, the Class Interest Amount

         (pro rata based on the Outstanding Amount of A-3a Notes and A-3b Notes)
         and (D) A-4a Notes and A-4b Notes (pro rata based on the Outstanding
         Amount of A-4a Notes and A-4b Notes) (provided that after an Event of
         Default and acceleration of the Notes (and, if any Notes remain
         outstanding, on and after the Final Scheduled Maturity Date), amounts
         available for distribution pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be paid
         to all Holders of Class A Notes ratably according to the amounts due

         (d) On the A-1 Note Final Scheduled Maturity Date, the Indenture
Trustee shall distribute to the Class A-1 Noteholders, from the amount available
in the Note Distribution Account, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1 Notes as of the A-1 Note
Final Scheduled Maturity Date, and (ii) the amount necessary to reduce the
outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes to zero.

         SECTION 8.3. General Provisions Regarding Accounts. (a) So long as no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a
portion of the funds in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible
Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order, subject
to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All
income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Trust Accounts
shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account, and any
loss or expenses resulting from such investments shall be charged to such
account. The Issuer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment
of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts unless
the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be
perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case
without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction
to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

         (b) Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any
way be held liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or by reason of any

                                      39
<PAGE>

insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any
Eligible Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the
Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued
by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and
not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

         (c) If: (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions
for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the
Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or,
if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of
Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied
in accordance with Section 5.4(b) as if there had not been such a declaration;
then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and
reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in the Eligible Investments identified in
clause (d) of the definition of Eligible Investments.

         SECTION 8.4. Release of Trust Estate. (a) Subject to the payment of its
fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Indenture Trustee may, and when
required by this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from
the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee's interest in the
same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with this
Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee
as provided in this Article shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's
authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to
the application of any moneys.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7
have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured
the Notes from the Lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other
Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The
Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture
pursuant to this paragraph only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by
an Officers' Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA)
Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA ss.ss. 314(c) and 314(d)(1)
meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

         SECTION 8.5. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at
least seven days' notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action
pursuant to Section 8.4(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved,
and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an
Opinion of Counsel stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the
steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions
precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action
will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention of this Indenture; provided, however,
that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to
the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection
with any such action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such
Opinion of Counsel shall include each Counterparty as an addressee thereof.

         required to be subjected to the Lien of this Indenture, or to subject
         to the Lien of this Indenture additional property;

                  (ii) to evidence the succession, in compliance with the

         and in the Notes;

                  (iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit
         of the Holders of Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein
         conferred upon the Issuer;

                  (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
         property to or with the Indenture Trustee;

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

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

                  (viii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
         Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
         qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar
         Federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such
         other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

         The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained.

         (b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, without the consent of any of the Holders of Notes but with prior
written notice to the Rating Agencies, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions in this Indenture or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder.

         SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, with
prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders
of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby:

                  (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal
         of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the
         interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto,
         change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of
         collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to the
         payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place
         of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the
         interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for
         the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the
         application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to
         the payment of any such amount due on or after the respective due dates
         thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
         Date);

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

                  (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
         definition of "Outstanding";

         liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4;

                                      42
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         It shall not be necessary for any Act of the Noteholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders
provided for in this Indenture or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may provide.

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

         SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and,
subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

         SECTION 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter
be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such

                                      43
<PAGE>

supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

         SECTION 9.5. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then
in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

         SECTION 9.6. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

                              Redemption of Notes

         SECTION 10.1. Redemption. (a) The Notes are subject to redemption in
whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section
9.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the
Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to said
Section 9.1(a), for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided,
however, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of
such redemption. If such Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.1,
the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the
Indenture Trustee not later than 25 days prior to the Redemption Date and the
Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Trustee in the Note Distribution Account
the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed.

         (b)  Reserved.

         SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under
Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than five Business Days prior to the applicable
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close of business on the
Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder's address
appearing in the Note Register.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price;

<PAGE>

                  (iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for
         payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of
         the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2); and

                  (iv) CUSIP numbers.

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

         SECTION 10.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption pursuant to this
Article, become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price
and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no
interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to
which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption
Price.

                                 Miscellaneous

         SECTION 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) Upon any
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action
under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee: (i) an
Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with,
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by
the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants
meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, except that, in the case of
any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion
need be furnished.

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

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

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

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

                                      45
<PAGE>

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

         (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the Lien of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officers'
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer
of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

                  (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officers' Certificate described in clause (i), the
         Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
         Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of
         the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited and
         of all other such Collateral or other property or securities made the
         basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the
         then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the
         certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (ii), is
         10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a
         certificate need not be furnished with respect to any Collateral or
         other property or securities so deposited if the fair value thereof to
         the Issuer as set forth in the related Officers' Certificate is less
         than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of
         the Notes.

                  (iii) Other than with respect to property as contemplated by
         clause (v), whenever any Collateral or other property or securities are
         to be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also
         furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying or
         stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the
         fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the Collateral or other
         property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the
         opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
         security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions
         hereof.

                  (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying or stating the
         opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause
         (iii), the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
         Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value to the
         Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities and of all
         other property, other than property as contemplated by clause (v), or
         securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the
         commencement of the then-current fiscal year, as set forth in the
         certificates required by clause (iii) and this clause (iv), equals 10%
         or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such certificate
         need not be furnished in the case of any release of Collateral or other
         property or securities if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set
         forth in the related Officers' Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
         than one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

                  (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
         Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of
         the other provisions of this Section: (A) collect, liquidate, sell or

                                      46
<PAGE>

         otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Equipment as and to the
         extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash
         payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or
         required by the Basic Documents so long as the Issuer shall deliver to
         the Indenture Trustee every six months, commencing June 2004, an
         Officers' Certificate of the Issuer stating that all such dispositions
         of Collateral that occurred since the execution of the previous such
         Officers' Certificate (or for the first such Officers' Certificate,
         since the Closing Date) were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's
         business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with
         the Basic Documents.

         SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instrument(s) of substantially similar tenor signed by

                                      47
<PAGE>

such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument(s) are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument(s) (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument(s). Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in
this Section.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Issuer and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders, or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture, shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:

                  (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer,
         shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
         furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its
         Corporate Trust Office, or

                  (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder,
         shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
         mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to: CNH
         Equipment Trust 2003-A, in care of The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay
         Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust
         Administration - Asset Backed Finance Unit, and to Case Credit
         Corporation, as Administrator, 233 Lake Avenue, Racine, Wisconsin
         53403, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously
         furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
         Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received
         by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the
         Counterparties, or

                  (c) the Counterparties by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee,
         shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
         mailed, first-class postage prepaid, hand delivered or sent by
         overnight courier service or by telecopy in legible form to the
         Counterparties addressed to: Bank of America, N.A., 100 N. Tryon
         Street, NC 1-007-13-01, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255, Attn: Capital
         Markets Documentation, or at any other address previously furnished in
         writing to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee by the applicable
         Counterparty.

                                      48
<PAGE>

         Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to their respective
addresses set forth in Section 10.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder,
that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture or the Notes
for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a
copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be
made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

         SECTION 11.7. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act, such
required provision shall control.

         The provisions of TIA ss.ss. 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.

                                      49
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.8. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

         SECTION 11.9. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents of the
Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 11.10. Severability. Any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or of the
Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, any other party secured
hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the
Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date.

         SECTION 11.13. Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its
conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

         SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by
the Issuer and, at its expense, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may
be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either
for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or
for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee
under this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against: (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner

                                      50
<PAGE>

of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary,
officer, director, employee or agent of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or the
Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest
in the Issuer, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (c) of any successor or
assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities,
except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that
the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee have no such obligations in their
individual capacities) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in
the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the
Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, Articles VI, VII
and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 11.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer,
or solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any institution against the
Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal
or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating
to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents. The foregoing shall
not limit the rights of the Indenture Trustee to file any claim in or otherwise
take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted
against the Issuer by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants,
and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's
officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit: (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly
know, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than
the Issuer or Servicer, (ii) disclosure of any and all information: (A) if
required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any
government agency or regulatory or self-regulatory body having or claiming
authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee's business
or that of its Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative
demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority,
arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate or any
officer, director, employee or shareholder thereof is subject, (D) in any
preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or
other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and
approved in advance by the Issuer or (E) to any Affiliate, independent or
internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a
need to know the same; provided, that the Indenture Trustee advises such
recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed and such
recipient agrees to keep such information confidential, (iii) any other
disclosure authorized by the Issuer or the Servicer or (iv) disclosure to the
other parties to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

                                      51

         SECTION 11.19. Subordination. Issuer and each Noteholder by accepting a
Note acknowledge and agree that such Note represents indebtedness of Issuer and
does not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Trust Estate) of
CNHCR (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not
paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Estate and proceeds thereof). In
furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent CNHCR
enters into other securitization transactions, Issuer as well as each Noteholder
by accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that it shall have no right, title or
interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than Trust Estate)
conveyed or purported to be conveyed by CNHCR to another securitization trust or
other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale,
capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) ("Other Assets").
To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in
the preceding sentences of this subsection, Issuer or any Noteholder either (i)
asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted
against or through CNHCR or any other Person owned by CNHCR, or (ii) is deemed
to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by
operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency
laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the
Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through CNHCR or any
other Person owned by CNHCR, then Issuer and each Noteholder by accepting a Note
further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or
from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible
payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of CNHCR which, under the
terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other
Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise
secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security
interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of
distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and
whether asserted against CNHCR or any other Person owned by CNHCR), including,
the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.
This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within
the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder further
acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 11.19 and the terms of this Section 11.19 may be enforced by an
action for specific performance.

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its 1.2625% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "A-1
Notes" or the "Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of May 1, 2003
(such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture")
between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, not in its individual capacity but
solely as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are

to the Indenture.

         The Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3a Notes, the A-3a Notes, the A-4a
Notes and the A-4b Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the A-1 Note Rate to the extent lawful.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against: (i)
the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any

any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

         It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness of the
Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take
no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Trust.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization or

(i)an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity (each a "Benefit Plan") or
(b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will
not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

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

of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its individual
capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their
respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees,

(b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will
not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law

<PAGE>

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Floating Rate Class A-4a Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"A-4a Notes" or the "Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of May 1,
2003 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the
"Indenture") between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, not in its individual
capacity but solely as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which term includes any
successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and
that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or
pursuant to the Indenture.

         The Notes, the A-1 Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3a Notes, the A-3b Notes
and the A-4b Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the A-4a Note Rate to the extent lawful.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against: (i)
the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee
or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

         It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness of the
Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take
no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Trust.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case
of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a)
(i)an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity (each a "Benefit Plan") or
(b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will

<PAGE>

not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

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

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its individual
capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their
respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees,
successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had
to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance
of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or
indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly
understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made
by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the
Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the
acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner by the acceptance of a beneficial
interest herein, each agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
and Note Owner shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any
deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the
assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings
contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

         The Notes, the A-1 Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3a Notes, A-3b Notes and
the A-4a Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral
pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the A-4b Note Rate to the extent lawful.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against: (i)
the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee
or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

         It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness of the
Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take
no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Trust.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States

relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

(i)an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity (each a "Benefit Plan") or
(b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will
not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

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

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its individual
capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their
respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees,
successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had
to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance
of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or

Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder
and Note Owner shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any
deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the
assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings
contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its 3.1300% Class B Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class B
Notes" or the "Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of May 1, 2003
(such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture")
between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, not in its individual capacity but
solely as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which term includes any successor
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant
to the Indenture.

         The Class B Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, but the
interest of the Class B Noteholders in such collateral is subordinated and
second to the rights of the Class A Noteholders.

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

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against: (i)
the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee
or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such
entity.

         It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of Federal and State income tax and any other tax
measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness of the
Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take
no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Trust.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any

(i)an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is

(b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will

         This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder

<PAGE>

                                   Schedule P

         1.   General. The Indenture creates, or with respect to the
Receivables that are Subsequent Receivables upon the transfer of such Subsequent
Receivables pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer Assignment will create, a valid
and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in all of
the Issuer's right, title and interest in, to and under (i) the Receivables,
(ii) the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreements (only with respect to Case
Owned Contracts and NH Owned Contracts), (iii) the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(including all rights of the Seller under the Liquidity Receivables Purchase
Agreement and the Purchase Agreements assigned to the Issuer pursuant to the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iv) each Interest Rate Swap Agreement, in each
case, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which, (a) security interest is
enforceable upon execution of the Indenture against creditors of and purchasers
from the Issuer, as such enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor
Relief Laws, now or hereafter in effect, and by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a suit at law or in equity), and (b) upon filing of the
financing statements described in clause 4 below will be prior to all other
Liens.

         2.      Characterization. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel
paper" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. The rights granted under the
agreements described in clause 1 (ii) through (iv) constitute "general
intangibles" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. The Issuer has taken all
steps necessary to perfect its security interest in the property securing the
Receivables.

         3.       Creation. Immediately prior to the grant to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer owns and has good and marketable
title to, or has a valid security interest in, the Receivables free and clear of
any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

         4.      _Perfection. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within
ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements
in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable
law in order to perfect the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture in the Receivables. With respect to the Collateral that
constitutes tangible chattel paper, the Servicer or a Subservicer, as custodian,
received possession of such tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee
received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that it is acting solely
as agent of the Indenture Trustee. All financing statements filed under this
clause 4 contain a statement that "A purchase of or security interest in any
collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the
Secured Party".

         5.      Priority. Other than the security interest granted to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral
covering the Collateral other than any financing statement (i) relating to the
security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, (ii)
that has been terminated, or (iii) that has been granted pursuant to the terms
of the Basic Documents. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or
evidences the Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have

<PAGE>

pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings
against it.

         6.       Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Indenture or any other Basic Document, the Perfection
Representations contained in this Schedule P shall be continuing, and remain in
full force and effect.

         7.       No Waiver. The parties to the Indenture: (i) shall not,
without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive
any of the representations and warranties in this Schedule P (the "Perfection
Representations"); (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written
notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without
obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined
after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such
breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

         8.       Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Servicer
covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee under this Agreement, Servicer shall take such action, or execute and
deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below),
unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be
necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are
requested by Issuer) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the
Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Receivables. Servicer shall, from
time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present
to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee to authorize (based in
reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to
file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing
statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial
terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or
advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Indenture Trustee's security
interest in the Receivables as a first-priority interest (each a "Filing").
Servicer shall present each such Filing to the Indenture Trustee together with
(x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with
grant of the security interest to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Granting
Clause of this Agreement, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such
Filing in this Agreement and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of
such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or
if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing
the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the
Indenture Trustee's signature. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form
of authorization, Issuer shall promptly authorize in writing Servicer to, and
Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the
signature of the Indenture Trustee or Issuer where allowed by applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything else in the Indenture to the contrary, the Servicer
shall not have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written
authorization from the Issuer in accordance with this paragraph (c).

     TRUST AGREEMENT (as amended or supplemented from time to time, this
"Agreement") dated as of May 1, 2003 between CNH CAPITAL RECEIVABLES INC., a

banking corporation, as Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE I
                                  Definitions

                                  ARTICLE II
                                 Organization

     SECTION 2.1. Name. The Trust created hereby shall be known as "CNH
Equipment Trust 2003-A", in which name the Trustee may conduct the business of
the Trust, make and execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of the
Trust and sue and be sued.

     SECTION 2.2. Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address in Delaware as
the Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders and the
Depositor.

     SECTION 2.3. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is, and the
Trust shall have the power and authority to, engage in the following
activities:

          (a) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Trust
     Certificates pursuant to this Agreement and to sell the Notes and the
     Trust Certificates in one or more transactions;

          (b) with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes and the Trust
     Certificates, to fund the Pre-Funding Account and to purchase the
     Receivables pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

          (c) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the
     Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute
     to the Certificateholders pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement
     any portion of the Trust Estate released from the Lien of, and remitted
     to the Trust pursuant to, the Indenture;

          (d) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic
     Documents to which it is to be a party;

          (e) to engage in those activities, including entering into
     agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the
     foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and

          (f) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in
     such other activities as may be required in connection with conservation
     of the Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the
     Certificateholders and the Noteholders.

                                      2
<PAGE>

The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the
foregoing or other than as required or authorized by this Agreement or the
Basic Documents.

     SECTION 2.4. Appointment of Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the
Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all
the rights, powers and duties set forth herein. Pursuant to a Co-Trustee
Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Co-Trustee Agreement"), the
Depositor shall appoint The Bank of New York (Delaware) to serve as the
trustee (the "Delaware Trustee") of the Trust in the State of Delaware for the
sole purpose of satisfying the requirement of Section 3807 of the Trust
Statute that the Trust have at least one trustee with a principal place of
business in Delaware. The Delaware Trustee shall have none of the rights,
duties or liabilities of the Trustee. The rights, duties and liabilities of
the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to those expressly set forth in the
Co-Trustee Agreement. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware
Trustee has rights, duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
relating to the Trust or the Certificateholders, such rights, duties and
liabilities are replaced by the rights, duties and liabilities of the Delaware
Trustee expressly set forth in the Co-Trustee Agreement.

     SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. The Depositor
hereby contributes to the Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1.00.
The Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the
date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial
Trust Estate and shall be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account.
The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise
or shall, upon the request of the Trustee, promptly reimburse the Trustee for
any such expenses paid by the Trustee. The Depositor may also take steps
necessary, including the execution and filing of any necessary filings, to
ensure that the Trust is in compliance with any applicable state securities
law.

     SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Trustee hereby declares that it
will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set
forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the
obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Trust
Statute and that this Agreement and the Co-Trustee Agreement (as defined in
Section 2.4) constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It
is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise
tax purposes, until the Certificates are held by a Person other than the
Depositor, the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from its Owner and
the Notes be treated as debt of the Depositor. At such time that the
Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust
be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership being the
Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the partners of the

                                      3
<PAGE>

partnership being the Certificateholders (including the Depositor (or its
successor in interest) in its capacity as recipient of distributions from the
Spread Account), and the Notes being debt of the partnership. The parties
agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, until
the Certificates are held by a Person other than the Depositor the Trust will
not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and
other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as an entity
separate from its Owner. Effective as of the date hereof, the Trustee shall
have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Trust Statute
with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust.

     SECTION 2.7. Liability of the Certificateholders. No Certificateholder
shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the
Trust.

     SECTION 2.8. Title to Trust Property. Subject to the Lien granted in the
Indenture, legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in
the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any
jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a
trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the
Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.9. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located and administered
in the State of New York. All bank accounts maintained by the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of
New York. The Trust shall not have any employees in any state other than New
York; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the
Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware.
Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York, and
payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New York.

     SECTION 2.10. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that:

          (a) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a
     corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
     with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its
     business as such properties are currently owned and such business is
     presently conducted.

                                      4
<PAGE>

          (b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
     corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and
     approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of
     property or the conduct of its business shall require such
     qualifications.

          (c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver
     this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power
     and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to
     and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such
     sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate
     action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
     have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary corporate
     action.

          (d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with,
     result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute
     (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, or any
     indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a
     party or by which it is bound; or result in the creation or imposition of
     any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
     indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the
     Basic Documents); or violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor's
     knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of
     any court or of any Federal or State regulatory body, administrative
     agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the
     Depositor or its properties.

          (e) The Depositor has duly executed and delivered this Agreement,
     and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
     the Depositor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
     enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity
     (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law).

     SECTION 2.11. Federal Income Tax Allocations; Tax Treatment. If
Certificates are held by more than one Person, interest payments on the
Certificates at the Pass-Through Rate (including interest on amounts
previously due on the Certificates but not yet distributed) shall be treated

                                      5
<PAGE>

as "guaranteed payments" under Section 707(c) of the Code. Net income of the
Trust for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each
item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation
thereof) shall be allocated:

          (1) among the Certificateholders as of the close of business on the
     last day of such month, in proportion to their ownership of principal
     amount of Trust Certificates on such date, an amount of net income up to
     the sum of: (i) the portion of the market discount on the Receivables
     accrued during such month that is allocable to the excess, if any, of the
     Initial Certificate Balance over their initial aggregate issue price, and
     (ii) any other amounts of income payable to the Certificateholders for
     such month; and such sum of amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of
     this sentence shall be reduced by any amortization by the Trust of
     premium on Receivables that corresponds to any excess of the issue price
     of Trust Certificates over their principal amount; and

          (2) to the Depositor, and other holders of interests in the Spread
     Account, to the extent of any remaining net income, in accordance with
     their respective interests therein.

If the net income of the Trust for any month is insufficient for the
allocations described in clause (1), subsequent net income shall first be
allocated to make up such shortfall before being allocated as provided in the
preceding sentence. Net losses of the Trust, if any, for any month as
determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain,
loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated
to the Depositor (or other holders of interests in the Spread Account) to the
extent the Depositor (or such holders) are reasonably expected to bear the
economic burden of such net losses, and any remaining net losses shall be
allocated among the remaining Certificateholders as of the close of business
on the last day of such month in proportion to their ownership of principal
amount of Trust Certificates on such day. The Depositor is authorized to
modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its
sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income,
gain or loss to the Depositor (or other holders of interests in the Spread
Account) or to the Certificateholders, or as otherwise required by the Code.
Notwithstanding anything provided in this Section 2.11, if the Certificates
are held solely by the Depositor, the application of this Section 2.11 shall
be disregarded.

                 Trust Certificates and Transfer of Interests

     SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the
contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, and until the issuance
of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the
Trust.

     SECTION 3.2. The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be
issued in denominations of $1,000 or in greater whole dollar denominations in
excess thereof and executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee. Trust Certificates bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when
such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the
Trust, shall be, when authenticated pursuant to Section 3.3, validly issued
and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates.

     SECTION 3.3. Authentication of Trust Certificates. Concurrently with the
sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificates in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Initial Certificate Balance to be executed on
behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order
of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any
vice president, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in
authorized denominations. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any
benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there
shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Trustee by
the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories; such certificate of
authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication. No further Trust Certificates shall be issued except pursuant
to Section 3.4 or 3.5 hereunder.

     SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates.
The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 3.8, a register (the "Certificate Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall
provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Trust Certificates. The Paying Agent shall be the "Certificate

                                      7
<PAGE>

Registrar" for the purpose of registering Trust Certificates and the transfers
of Trust Certificates as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor or, if
it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the
Certificate Registrar.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, if the
requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of
a like aggregate principal amount.

         At the option of a Holder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for
other Trust Certificates of authorized denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8. Whenever any Trust
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section
8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver the Trust Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.

         All Trust Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits under
this Agreement as the Trust Certificates surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.

         Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be registered unless the
transferee shall have provided (i) an opinion of counsel that no registration
is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state
laws, and (ii) an Officer's Certificate as to compliance with Section 6.6 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

         No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.

                                      8
<PAGE>

     The Trust Certificates and any beneficial interest in such Trust
Certificates may not be acquired by: (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined
in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's
investment in the entity (each a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and holding a
Trust Certificate or an interest therein, the Holder thereof shall be deemed
to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. The Trustee
shall have no obligation to determine whether or not a Holder of a Trust
Certificate is or is not a Benefit Plan.

     SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If:
(a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate
(provided, that the Trustee shall not be required to verify the evidence
provided to it), and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Trust
Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided
that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate,
a replacement Trust Certificate of like tenor and denomination.

     In connection with the issuance of any replacement Trust Certificate
under this Section, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the
payment by the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

     Any replacement Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate
shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
Trust Certificate shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation
of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
any Trust Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register (as of
the day of determination) as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.7. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the
Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor
from the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list, in such form as the
Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses
of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more
Certificateholders or one or more Holder(s) of Trust Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance apply in writing to the Trustee,
and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with
other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or
under the Trust Certificates and such application shall be accompanied by a
copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the
Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such
application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the
current list of Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a
Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee accountable by reason of
the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which
such information was derived.

     SECTION 3.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee shall maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York an office or offices or agency
or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in
respect of the Trust Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The
Trustee initially designated The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, Floor
8W, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration -
Asset Backed Finance Unit, as its principal corporate trust office for such
purposes. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to
the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate
Register or any such office or agency.

     SECTION 3.9. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make
distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to
the Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds
from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove
the Paying Agent if the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the
Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement
in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee, and
any co-paying agent chosen by and acceptable to the Trustee. The Paying Agent
shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to
the Trustee. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a

                                      10
<PAGE>

bank or trust company). The Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or
any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee to execute and deliver to
the Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor
Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it
for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return
all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.1,
7.3, 7.4 and 8.1 shall apply to the Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent,
for so long as the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in
this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless
the context requires otherwise.

action unless, at least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Trustee
shall have notified the Certificateholders in writing of the proposed action
and the Certificateholders shall not have notified the Trustee in writing
prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that such Certificateholders
have withheld consent or shall not have provided alternative direction:

          (a) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Trust (except
     claims or lawsuits brought in connection with the collection of the
     Receivables) and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought
     by or against the Trust (except with respect to the aforementioned claims
     or lawsuits for collection of Receivables);

          (b) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the
     Certificate of Trust;

          (c) the amendment of the Indenture in circumstances where the

<PAGE>

          (d) the amendment of the Indenture in circumstances where the
     consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially
     adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders;

          (e) the amendment, change or modification of the Administration
     Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or to amend or supplement any
     provision in a manner, or add any provision, that would not materially
     adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders; or

          (f) the appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Note
     Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee, or pursuant to this
     Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar, or the consent to the
     assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee or
     Certificate Registrar of its obligations under the Indenture or this
     Agreement, as applicable.

     SECTION 4.2. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Certain
Matters. The Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of
the Certificateholders, to: (a) remove the Administrator under the
Administration Agreement, (b) appoint a successor Administrator, (c) remove
the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (d) except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, sell the Receivables after the termination of
the Indenture. The Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding
sentence only upon written instructions signed by the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 4.3. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Bankruptcy. The
Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in
bankruptcy relating to the Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all
Certificateholders and the delivery to the Trustee by each such
Certificateholder of a certificate certifying that such Certificateholder
reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.

     SECTION 4.4. Restrictions on Certificateholders' Power. The
Certificateholders shall not direct the Trustee to take or refrain from taking
any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of
the Trust or the Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or
would be contrary to Section 2.3, nor shall the Trustee be obligated to follow
any such direction, if given.

     SECTION 4.5. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any
action that may be taken by the Certificateholders under this Agreement may be
taken by the Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a majority

notice of the Certificateholders delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be
effective if signed by Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than
a majority of the Certificate Balance at the time of the delivery of such
notice.

                                  ARTICLE V
                  Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties

     SECTION 5.1. Establishment of Trust Account. The Trustee, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Trust an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Certificate Distribution Account"),
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

     The Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on
deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all
proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control
of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the
Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Trustee (or the Depositor on behalf of the Trustee, if the Certificate
Distribution Account is not then held by the Trustee or an affiliate thereof)
shall, within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30
calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied),
establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit
Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new
Certificate Distribution Account.

     SECTION 5.2. Applications of Trust Funds. (a) On each Payment Date, the
Trustee will distribute to Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts
deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 5.5,
5.6 and 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (b) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall send to each
     Certificateholder the statement provided to the Trustee by the Servicer
     pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's
     payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall
     reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in
     accordance with this Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and
     directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the
     Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is
     legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the
     Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and
     withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome
     of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with

                                      13
<PAGE>

     respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to
     such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust. If there
     is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a
     distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder),
     the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in
     accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event that a Certificateholder
     wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee
     shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such
     claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Trustee
     for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

     SECTION 5.3. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.1(c), distributions
required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire
transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such
Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate
written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date
and such Holder's Trust Certificates aggregate not less than $1,000,000, or,
if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such
Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

     SECTION 5.4. No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Subject to Sections
5.1 and 5.2, moneys received by the Trustee hereunder need not be segregated
in any manner except to the extent required by law or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be
prescribed by law, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
thereon.

     SECTION 5.5. Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders,
Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Depositor or,
if any Certificates are held by any Person other than the Depositor, the
Trustee, shall: (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the
Trust on a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b)
deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required
(including Schedule K-1) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its
Federal, State and local income tax returns, (c) file such tax returns

                                      14
<PAGE>

relating to the Trust (including a partnership information return on Internal
Revenue Service Form 1065 or its successor), and make such elections as may
from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable State or
Federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust's
characterization as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, (d) cause
such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (e) collect or
cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance
with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to
include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to
the Receivables and shall elect under Section 171 of the Code to amortize any
bond premium with respect to the Receivables. The Trustee shall not make the
election provided under Section 754 of the Code.

     SECTION 5.6. Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner.

          (a) The Depositor, or if any Certificates are held by any Person
     other than the Depositor, the Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust
     the tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires a
     Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which case such documents
     shall be signed by the Depositor.

          (b) The Depositor shall be designated the "tax matters partner" of
     the Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable
     Treasury Regulations.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                        Authority and Duties of Trustee

     SECTION 6.1. General Authority. The Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party
and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or
contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party, in
each case in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced
conclusively by the Trustee's execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Trust,
to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes in the
aggregate principal amount specified in a letter of instruction from the
Depositor to the Trustee. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee is
authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the
Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Trustee is further authorized from
time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends with respect
to the Basic Documents.

                                      15
<PAGE>

     SECTION 6.2. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Trustee to
discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to
this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to
administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the
Basic Documents and in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and
responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the
Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or
to discharge any duty of the Trustee hereunder or under any Basic Document,
and the Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the
Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

     SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV and in
accordance with the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written
instruction direct the Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction
may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders
pursuant to Article IV.

          (b) The Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder
     or under any Basic Document if the Trustee shall have reasonably
     determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is
     likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee or is contrary
     to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to
     law.

          (c) Whenever the Trustee is unable to decide between alternative
     courses of action permitted or required by this Agreement or any Basic
     Document, the Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall
     be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders
     requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to
     the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written
     instruction of the Certificateholders received, the Trustee shall not be
     liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Trustee shall not
     have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or
     within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such
     notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be
     under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
     inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem
     to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no
     liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

                                      16
<PAGE>

          (d) In the event that the Trustee is unsure as to the application of
     any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such
     provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in
     conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
     Agreement permits any determination by the Trustee or is silent or is
     incomplete as to the course of action that the Trustee is required to
     take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Trustee may give
     notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to
     the Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the extent that the
     Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any
     such instruction received, the Trustee shall not be liable, on account of
     such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Trustee shall not have
     received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within
     such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice
     or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under
     no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent
     with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the
     best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to
     any Person for such action or inaction.

     SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in
Instructions. The Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage,
make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of or
otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from
taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated
hereby to which the Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by this
Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Trustee. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to
prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or
to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Trustee nevertheless
agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as
may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate that
result from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

     SECTION 6.5. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions.
The Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal
with any part of the Trust Estate except: (i) in accordance with the powers
granted to and the authority conferred upon the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance
with any document or instruction delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section
6.3.

                                      17
<PAGE>

     SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Trustee shall not take any action: (a)
that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3
or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Trustee, would result in the
Trust's becoming taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes. The
Certificateholders shall not direct the Trustee to take action that would
violate this Section.

                                 ARTICLE VII
                            Concerning the Trustee

     SECTION 7.1. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Trustee accepts the
trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect
to such trusts but only upon the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee also
agrees to disburse all moneys actually received by it constituting part of the
Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents and this Agreement. The
Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable hereunder or under any Basic
Document under any circumstances, except: (i) for its own willful misconduct
or negligence or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by the Trustee. In
particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set
forth in the preceding sentence):

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

          (b) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the
     Administrator, the Servicer or any Certificateholder;

          (c) no provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document shall
     require the Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any
     financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers
     hereunder or under any Basic Document, if the Trustee shall have
     reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
     indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or
     provided to it;

                                      18
<PAGE>

          (d) under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for
     indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents,
     including the principal of and interest on the Notes;

          (e) the Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the
     validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof
     by the Depositor or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency,
     value or validity of any of the Trust Estate or for or in respect of the
     validity or sufficiency of the Basic Documents, other than the
     certificate of authentication on the Trust Certificates, and the Trustee
     shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to
     any Noteholder or to any Certificateholder, other than as expressly
     provided for herein and in the Basic Documents;

          (f) the Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of
     the Administrator, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer
     under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise and the Trustee shall have
     no obligation or liability to perform the obligations of the Trust under
     this Agreement or the Basic Documents that are required to be performed
     by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Indenture
     Trustee under the Indenture or the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
     Agreement; and

          (g) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct
     or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation
     to this Agreement or any Basic Document, at the request, order or
     direction of any of the Certificateholders unless such Certificateholders
     have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it
     against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the
     Trustee therein or thereby. The right of the Trustee to perform any
     discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any Basic Document
     shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
     for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
     any such act.

     SECTION 7.2. Furnishing of Documents. The Trustee shall furnish to the
Certificateholders promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor, and at
the expense of the Certificateholders, duplicates or copies of all reports,
notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and any other
instruments furnished to the Trustee under the Basic Documents.

<PAGE>

     SECTION 7.3. Representations and Warranties. The Trustee hereby
represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, that:

          (a) it is a banking corporation duly organized and validly existing
     in good standing under the laws of New York, with the requisite corporate
     power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
     this Agreement,

          (b) it has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the
     execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement will
     be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized
     to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf,

          (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation
     of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of
     the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
     terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse
     of time) a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of
     the Trustee, or to the best of its knowledge without independent
     investigation any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the
     Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; or violate any Federal or
     state law governing the banking or trust powers of the Trustee; or, to
     the best of the Trustee's knowledge, violate any order, rule or
     regulation applicable to the Trustee of any court or of any Federal or
     state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
     instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Trustee or its properties,
     and

          (d) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery by the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
     obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with the
     terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity,
     regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law.

     SECTION 7.4. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. (a) Except to the extent
otherwise provided in Section 7.1, the Trustee shall incur no liability to
anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request,

     by the Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult with counsel,
     accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected with reasonable care

Basic Document, of the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature, if any, of the Trustee on the Trust Certificates) or of the
Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Trustee shall at no time
have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality,
validity and enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority
of any security interest created by any Receivable in any of the Financed
Equipment or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate

taken in the name of the Trustee.

     SECTION 7.7. Trustee May Not Own Notes. The Trustee shall not, in its
individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner or

otherwise deal with the Depositor, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee
and the Servicer with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Trustee.

actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and
nature whatsoever (collectively, "Expenses"), which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or any other Indemnified Party
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Basic Documents,

inaction of the Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor shall not be
liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against
Expenses arising or resulting from: (a) such Indemnified Party's willful

                                      22
<PAGE>

misconduct or negligence or (b) with respect to the Trustee, the inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by the
Trustee. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Trustee or the termination of this
Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity
will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Trustee's choice of legal counsel
shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

     SECTION 9.1. Termination of Trust Agreement. (a) The Trust shall dissolve
upon the final distribution by the Trustee of all moneys or other property or
proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the Indenture, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and Article V. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution,

dissolve or terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (y) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of

          (b) Except as provided in Section 9.1(a), neither the Depositor nor

          (c) Notice of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Payment
     Date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust
     Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution
     and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to
     Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice
     of such dissolution from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 9.1(c) of
     the Sale and Servicing Agreement stating: (i) the Payment Date upon which

     therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii)
     that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not

                                      23

     Registrar (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time
     such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and
     surrender of the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be
     distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment
     Date pursuant to Section 5.2.

     In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Trust Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Trust
Certificates for cancellation and to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Trust
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the
Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to
the Depositor.

                  Successor Trustees and Additional Trustees

     SECTION 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee shall at

of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (b) be authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers, (c) have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authorities, and (d) have (or have a parent that has) a rating of at

                                      24
<PAGE>

condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published. At all times, at least one Trustee of the Trust
shall satisfy the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Trust Statute. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 10.2.

     SECTION 10.2. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If
no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the Administrator any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Administrator, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act,
or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove
the Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Trustee under the authority
of the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Trustee so removed and one copy
to the successor Trustee, and pay all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until acceptance
of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment
of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee. The Administrator shall
provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Trustee to each of the
Rating Agencies.

                                      25
<PAGE>

     SECTION 10.3. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator
and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under
this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with
like effect as if originally named as the Trustee. The predecessor Trustee
shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Trustee
all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and
the Administrator and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
pursuant to Section 10.1.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating
Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Administrator.

     SECTION 10.4. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or
other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder;
provided, such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
and provided further, that the Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

                                      26

     SECTION 10.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust or any Financed Equipment may at the time be located, the
Administrator and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and may
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Person(s) approved
by the Trustee to act as co-trustee(s), jointly with the Trustee, or separate
trustee(s), of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such
Person(s), in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Administrator and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required
pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

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

          (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by
     reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;
     and

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

                                      27
<PAGE>

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

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

     The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or
separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of
the Trust Estate may be located.

                                  ARTICLE XI
                                 Miscellaneous

     SECTION 11.1. Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended
from time to time by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the
Depositor and the Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies,
without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement
or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or
Certificateholder.

     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and
the Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the
written consent of (x) Noteholders holding Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the Note Balance and (y) the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance, for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such

                                      28
<PAGE>

amendment shall: (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or
accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or
distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of the Outstanding Amount and the Certificate Balance required to consent to
any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all the outstanding
Notes and Certificates.

     Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the
case of the Rating Agencies, 10 days prior thereto), the Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each
Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders, the
Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Certificateholders provided
for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject
to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

     Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of
Trust, the Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary
of State.

     Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the
Certificate of Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to
the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects
the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.

     SECTION 11.2. No Legal Title to Trust Estate in Certificateholders. The
Certificateholders shall not have legal title to any part of the Trust Estate.
The Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect
to their undivided ownership interest therein only in accordance with Articles
V and IX. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title
or interest of the Certificateholders in, to and under their ownership
interest in the Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the
trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer
to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Estate.

Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders, the Administrator and, to the extent expressly provided
herein, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in this
Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other
Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Estate or
under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or
provisions contained herein.

     conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
     Certificateholder receives such notice.

     SECTION 11.5. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed

shall be reduced by Realized Losses and (b) any litigation with claims in
excess of $1,000,000 to which the Depositor is a party that shall be

     SECTION 11.10. No Recourse. Each Certificateholder by accepting a Trust
Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder's Trust Certificates

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, as defined below, the
property of which includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured
by new and used agricultural and construction equipment and sold to the Trust

(This Trust Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of CNH
Capital Receivables Inc., Case Credit Corporation, New Holland Credit Company,
LLC, CNH Global N.V. or Case Corporation, or any of their respective
affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CNH CAPITAL RECEIVABLES INC. is the fractional registered
owner of a

TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR ($27,500,000) nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in the CNH Equipment Trust 2003-A
(the "Trust") formed by CNH Capital Receivables Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Depositor").

         The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of
May 1, 2003 (the "Trust Agreement") between the Depositor and The Bank of New
York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not otherwise defined herein,

Agreement") dated as of May 1, 2003 among the Trust, the Depositor and Case

Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as "Asset
Backed Certificates" (herein called the "Trust Certificates") issued under and
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to
which Trust Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which holder is bound.

         Issued under the Indenture dated as of May 1, 2003 between the Trust
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Indenture Trustee, are notes designated as
"1.26250% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes," "1.46000% Class A-2 Asset Backed
Notes," "Floating Rate Class A-3a Asset Backed Notes," "1.89000% Class A-3b
Asset Backed Notes," "Floating Rate Class A-4a Asset Backed Notes", "2.57000
Class A-4b Asset Backed Notes" and "3.13000% Class B Asset Backed Notes". Each
Holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to
receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to
the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the Indenture.

         It is the intent of the Depositor, Servicer and the
Certificateholders that, for purposes of Federal income, State and local
income and franchise and any other income taxes measured in whole or in part
by income, until the Trust Certificates are held by other than the Depositor,
the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner. At such time
that the Trust Certificates are held by more than one person, it is the intent
of the Depositor, Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of
Federal income, State and local income and franchise and any other income
taxes measured in whole or in part by income, the Trust be treated as a
partnership, the assets of which are the assets held by the Trust, and the
Certificateholders (including the Depositor (and its transferees and assigns)
in its capacity as recipient of distributions from the Spread Account) will be
treated as partners in that partnership. The Depositor and the other
Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and
to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust Certificates
as such for tax purposes.

         Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate,
covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time
institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution
against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

         The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of: (i) an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to
the provisions of Title 1 of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iii) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's
investment in the entity (a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and holding this
Certificate, each of the Holder shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

         The Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Depositor, the Servicer, Case Credit Corporation, New Holland
Credit Company, LLC, Case Corporation, CNH Global N.V., the Trustee or any
affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or
their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or
in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, by manual signature, this
Trust Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the
Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

         This Trust Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of law provisions,
and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.
