(including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment
purchased at a discount); (g) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
claims of the Issuer under or with respect to any Series Enhancement and the

Servicing Agreement, and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests,

-----                                                     -------------
which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the
registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the
transfer agent and registrar (in such capacity, the "Transfer Agent and
                                                     ------------------
Registrar") for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as

herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Transfer Agent and

<PAGE>

Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to
make such an appointment, assume the duties of Transfer Agent and Registrar.

     If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as
Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt
written notice of the appointment of a Transfer Agent and Registrar and of the
location, and any change in the location, of the Transfer Agent and Registrar
and Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the
Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate
executed on behalf of the Transfer Agent and Registrar by an officer thereof as
to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and
numbers of such Notes.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or
agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar, to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC as in effect in the
-----------
applicable jurisdiction are met as certified by the Administrator to the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such
surrendered Note the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations of like
aggregate principal amount.

     At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes (of
the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the office or
agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC as in
effect in the applicable jurisdiction are met as certified by the Administrator
to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such
surrendered Note the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

     All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall evidence the same obligations, evidence the same debt, and be entitled to
the same rights and privileges 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 a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and by
such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require.

                                       7

<PAGE>

     Any Note held by the Seller at any time after the date of its initial
issuance may be transferred or exchanged only upon the delivery to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of a Tax Opinion dated as of the date of such
transfer or exchange, as the case may be, with respect to such transfer or
exchange.

     The registration of transfer of any Note shall be subject to the additional
requirements, if any, set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and 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 such Notes.

     All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be
canceled by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for subsequent
destruction without liability on the part of either. The Indenture Trustee shall
destroy the Global Note upon its exchange in full for Definitive Notes and shall
deliver a certificate of destruction to the Seller. Such certificate shall also
state that a certificate or certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency
referred to in the applicable Indenture Supplement was received with respect to
each portion of the Global Note exchanged for Definitive Notes.

     The preceding provisions of this Section 2.5 notwithstanding, the Issuer
                                      -----------
shall not be required to make, and Transfer Agent and Registrar need not
register, transfers or exchanges of Notes for a period of twenty (20) days
preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

     If and so long as any Series of Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and such exchange shall so require, the Issuer shall appoint a
co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or another European city. Any
reference in this Indenture to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include
any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires.
The Indenture Trustee will enter into any appropriate agency agreement with any
co-transfer agent and co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which will
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.

     Section 2.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (a) 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 (b) in case of destruction, loss, or theft there is delivered to the
Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold
the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser (as
defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC as in effect in the applicable

                                       8

<PAGE>

jurisdiction), the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor (including the
same date of issuance) and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such mutilated,
                               --------  -------
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have become or within seven (7) days shall
be due and payable, or shall have been selected or called for redemption,
instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such Note without
surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered. 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 protected
purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction) 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 any
assignee of such Person, except a protected 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 2.6, 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 or the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith.

     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in replacement
                                                    -----------
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of an obligation of the Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at
any time, 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 2.6 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.

registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Seller, the Indenture
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Seller or the Indenture Trustee shall
treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note

applicable Indenture Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer,

appointment of a Paying Agent for the Notes, and to appoint additional or other
Paying Agents, provided that it will at all times maintain the Indenture Trustee
as a Paying Agent.

     If and so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
such exchange shall so require, the Indenture Trustee will appoint a co-paying
agent in Luxembourg or another European city. The Indenture Trustee will enter
into any appropriate agency agreement with any co-paying agent not a party to
this Indenture, which will implement the provisions of this Indenture that

     Notice of all changes in the identity or specified office of a Paying Agent

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent (other than itself)
to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee that such Paying Agent will
hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Noteholders in trust for
the benefit of the Noteholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
such Noteholders and shall agree, and if the Indenture Trustee is the Paying
Agent it hereby agrees, that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code
regarding the withholding by the Indenture Trustee of payments in respect of
federal income taxes due from the Note Owners.

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

     (a) The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer or the Paying Agent, within five (5) Business Days after
receipt by the Issuer of a written request therefor from the Indenture Trustee,
the Servicer or the Paying Agent, respectively, a list of the names and
addresses of the Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture
Supplement, the Holders of not less than 10% of the principal balance of the
Outstanding Notes of any Series (the "Applicants") may apply in writing to the
                                     -----------
Indenture Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to
communicate with other Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the
communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture
Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its
costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar
to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent
list of Noteholders held by the Indenture Trustee and shall give the Servicer
notice that such request has been made,

                                       10

within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list
shall be as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of
receipt of such Applicants' request.

     (b) Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees that none of
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the
Servicer or any of their respective agents and employees shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the sources from which
such information was derived.

     Section 2.10. 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 it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any lawful 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 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this
                    ------------
Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Indenture Trustee shall be destroyed
unless the Issuer shall direct by a timely order that they be returned to it.

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

     (e) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice
pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer
            -----------
shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Indenture until the
date specified in the Termination Notice or until a date mutually agreed upon by
the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. As promptly as possible after the giving
of a Termination Notice to the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
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

accordance with Section 7.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement without
                -----------
further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The
Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate
or agent in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and Section 5.7 of the Transfer and
                            --------------     -----------
Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall,
if it is legally unable so to act, petition at the expense of the Servicer a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution
qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency and each Series
Enhancer upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer. Upon its appointment, the
Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with
respect to servicing functions under this Indenture and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this
Indenture to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. In
connection with any Termination Notice, the Indenture Trustee will review any
bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall be permitted to appoint
any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a Successor Servicer for
servicing compensation, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.2 of
                                                                -----------
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to
the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any
servicing fee.

     (f) 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 (i) that it will not, without the prior
written consent of the Indenture Trustee and satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition, 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
Transfer and Servicing Agreement) or the Transaction Documents (except to the
extent otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents), or waive timely
performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller under the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that any such amendment shall not (A) increase or
reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of,
collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that are required to
be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of the Notes that is required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the

                                       20

Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee and such
Noteholders, 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.

valid first priority security interest (other than with respect to a tax,
mechanics, or similar lien) in the Collateral; or

     (e) voluntarily dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part.

                              -----------
covenants and agreements in the Indenture which are not expressly stated to be

materially and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely
affected during the 60-day period; or

     (f) any additional events specified in the Indenture Supplement related to
such Series.

     The Issuer shall deliver to a Trustee Officer of the Indenture Trustee,
within five (5) days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of
an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the

     Section 5.3. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
                  --------------------------------------------------
Event of Default described in paragraph (a), (b) or (e) of Section 5.2 should
                              -------------  ---    ---    -----------
occur and be continuing with respect to a Series, then and in every such case
the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the
principal balance of the Outstanding Notes of such Series may declare all the
Notes of such Series to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to a Trustee Officer of the Indenture Trustee if declared by
Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such
Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

     If an Event of Default described in paragraph (c) or (d) of Section 5.2
                                         -------------    ---    -----------
should occur and be continuing, then the unpaid principal of the Notes, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall
automatically become 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 provided in this Article V, the
                                                                  ----------
Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the principal balance of the
Outstanding Notes of such Series, by written notice to the Issuer, a Trustee
Officer of the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences; provided, that:
                                       --------  -----

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

          (i) 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

                                       29

<PAGE>

          (ii) 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

     (b) 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 5.13.
                      -------------

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

     Section 5.4. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                  -------------------------------------------------------
Indenture Trustee.
-----------------

     (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of thirty-five (35) days following the date on which such
interest became due and payable, or (ii) default is made in the payment of
principal of any Note, if and to the extent not previously paid, when the same
becomes due and payable on the Series Termination Date, the Issuer will, upon
demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of
the Notes of the affected Series, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and,
to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest upon overdue installments of interest, as specified in the related
Indenture Supplement, and in addition thereto will pay 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.

     (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee
may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.5, in its discretion, proceed to
                                      -----------
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders of the affected
Series, 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

                                       30

<PAGE>

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 of the affected Series, or any Person having or claiming
an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or in case a
receiver, conservator, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or other 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 of such Series, 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 the
provisions of this Section 5.4, 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 of such
     Series 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 willful misconduct)
     and of the Noteholders of such Series allowed in such Proceedings;

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

          (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with
     respect to the claims of the Noteholders of such Series 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 of such Series allowed in any judicial
     Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

                                       31

<PAGE>

and any trustee, receiver, conservator, liquidator, custodian, assignee,
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 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 willful misconduct.

     (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 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
benefit of the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series as provided herein.

     (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 of the affected Series, and it
shall not be necessary to make any such Noteholder a party to any such
Proceedings.

     Section 5.5. Remedies; Priorities.
                  --------------------

     (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to any Series, and the Notes of such Series have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 5.3, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
            -----------
following (subject to Sections 5.6 and 12.16):
                      ------------     -----

          (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 of the
     affected Series or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by

                                       32

<PAGE>

     declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
     the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

          (ii) take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the
     rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
     of the affected Series;

          (iii) cause the Issuer to sell Principal Receivables (or interests
     therein) in an amount equal to the Collateral Amount of the accelerated
     Series and the related Finance Charge Receivables in accordance with
     Section 5.16;
     ------------

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy
--------  -------
described in subparagraph (iii) above unless (A)(1) the Holders of Notes
representing 100% of the principal balance of the Outstanding Notes of the
affected Series consent in writing thereto, (2) the Indenture Trustee determines
that any proceeds of such exercise distributable to the Noteholders of the
affected Series are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and
unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest and is directed to exercise
this remedy by Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the principal
balance of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, or (3) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Collateral may 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 the Holders of Notes representing at least
66-2/3% of the principal balance of the Outstanding Notes of each Class of such
Series and (B) the Indenture Trustee has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the exercise of such remedy complies with applicable federal and
state securities laws. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with
respect to clauses (A)(2) and (A)(3), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not,
obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

     The remedies provided in this Section 5.5(a) are the exclusive remedies
                                   --------------
provided to the Noteholders with respect to the Collateral and each of the
Noteholders (by their acceptance of their respective interests in the Notes) or
the Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waive any other remedy that might have
been available under the applicable UCC.

     (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V following the acceleration of the Notes of the affected Series
pursuant to Section 5.3 (so long as such a declaration shall not have been
rescinded or annulled), it shall pay out the money or property in the following
order:

     FIRST:    to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due pursuant to Section 6.7;
                                                                    -----------
               and

                                       33

<PAGE>

     SECOND:   unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement,
               to the Servicer for distribution in accordance with Article IV of
               the related Indenture Supplement with such amounts being deemed
               to be Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections in the
               same proportion as (x) the outstanding principal balance of the
               Notes bears to (y) the sum of the accrued and unpaid interest on
               the Notes and other fees and expenses payable in connection
               therewith under the applicable Indenture Supplement, including
               the amounts payable under any Enhancements with respect to such
               Series.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee may, upon notification to the Issuer, fix a
record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders of the affected
Series pursuant to this Section 5.5. At least fifteen (15) days before such
                        ------------
record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail or send by facsimile, at the
expense of the Servicer, to each such Noteholder a notice that states the record
date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

     Section 5.6. Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes of any
                  ---------------------------------------
Series have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.3 following an
                                                      -----------
Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, and the Indenture Trustee has not received directions
from the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.12, the Indenture Trustee may, but
                                 ------------
need not, elect to maintain possession of the portion of the Collateral which
secures such Notes and apply proceeds of the Collateral to make payments on such
Notes to the extent such proceeds are available therefor. 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 Collateral. In determining whether to
maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not,
obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Assets for such purpose.

     Section 5.7. Limitation on Suits. No Noteholder shall have any right to
                  -------------------
institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

     (a) the Holders of Notes representing not less than 25% of the principal
balance of the Outstanding Notes of each affected Series have made written
request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as
indenture trustee;

                                       34

<PAGE>

     (b) such Noteholder or Noteholders has previously given written notice to
the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

     (c) such Noteholder or Noteholders has offered to the Indenture Trustee
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request;

     (d) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

     (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of Notes
representing more than 50% of the principal balance of the Outstanding Notes of
such Series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders of the affected
Series 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 Noteholders of such Series or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Noteholders of such Series 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 (2) or more groups of Noteholders
of such affected Series, each representing no more than 50% of the principal
balance of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, the Indenture Trustee in its
sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

     Section 5.8. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and
                  ------------------------------------------------------------
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Noteholder
--------
shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of
the principal of and interest in respect of such Note as such principal and
interest becomes due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Noteholder.

     Section 5.9. 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, 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 Noteholder
shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right, remedy, power or
                   ------------------------------
privilege herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege, and every right, remedy, power or privilege shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, remedy,
power or privilege given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy shall not
preclude any other further assertion or the exercise of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

                   ----------------------------
delay in exercising, on the part of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder
or other Person, any right or remedy occurring hereunder upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof of
any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article V 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 5.12. Rights of Noteholders to Direct Indenture Trustee. The
                   -------------------------------------------------
Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the principal balance of the
Outstanding Notes of any affected Series shall have the right to direct in
writing the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series;
provided, however, that subject to Section 6.1:
--------  -------                  -----------

     (a) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline any such
direction if the Indenture Trustee, after being advised by counsel, determines
that the action so directed is in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture, and

     (b) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline any such
direction if the Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Trustee Officer of
the Indenture Trustee, determine that the Proceedings so directed would be
illegal or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the Noteholders not parties to such direction.

     Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
                   -----------------------
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of the affected Series as provided in
Section 5.3, Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the principal
-----------
balance of the Outstanding Notes of such Series (or with respect to any such
Series with two or more Classes, of each Class), may, on behalf of all such
Noteholders, waive in writing any past default, with written notice to the
Indenture Trustee, with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a
default:

                                       36

<PAGE>

     (a) in the payment of the principal or interest in respect of any Note of
such Series, or

     (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 10.2
                                                                 ------------
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Noteholder of each

Officer shall have actual knowledge or written notice of such Event of Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this

     reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture
     Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
     provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, shall examine them
     to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this
     Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

     (c) If a Pay Out Event has occurred and is continuing and a Trustee Officer
shall have actual knowledge or written notice of such Pay Out Event, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of 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.

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

          (i) this Section 6.1(d) shall not be construed to limit the effect of

          (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of

     facts; and

          (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
     action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in

     accordance with the direction of the Servicer, the Seller or the Trust in

     (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or
otherwise, 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 for believing
that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     (f) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to this Section 6.1.
                                     -----------

in any rating of the Notes by any other Rating Agency of which a Trustee Officer

meeting the conditions specified above, transfer any monies, documents,

that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the close of
business on each monthly Transfer Date following such Monthly Period in amounts
sufficient to the extent of such funds to make the required distributions on the
following Distribution Date. No such Permitted Investment shall be disposed of
prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell,
                       --------- --------
liquidate or dispose of any such Permitted Investment before its maturity, at
the written direction of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal
would not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such
Permitted Investment or if, prior to the maturity of such Permitted Investment,
a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with
respect to such Permitted Investment. Unless directed by the Servicer in
writing, funds deposited in the Collection Account on a Transfer Date with
respect to the immediately succeeding Distribution Date are not required to be
invested overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment
earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall be treated as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables
with respect to the last day of the related Monthly Period, except as otherwise
specified in any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall bear no
responsibility or liability for any losses resulting from investment or
reinvestment of any funds in accordance with this Section 8.3 nor for the

 ----------------------
and interest in all monies, instruments, investment property, documents,

Excess Funding Account and in all proceeds, dividends distributions, earnings,
income and revenue thereof for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Excess
Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Except as expressly provided in this
Indenture and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer agrees that it
shall have no right of setoff or banker's lien against, and no right to
otherwise deduct from, any funds and other property held in the Excess Funding
Account for any amount owed to it by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, any
Noteholder or any Series Enhancer. If, at any time, the Excess Funding Account
ceases to be a Qualified Account and the same is actually known to a Trustee
Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its
behalf) shall within 15 days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30)
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent)

maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell, liquidate or
          --------- --------
dispose of a Permitted Investment before its maturity, at the written direction
of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a
loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Permitted Investment or if,
prior to the maturity of such Permitted Investment, a default occurs in the
payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such
Permitted Investment. Unless directed by the Servicer in writing, funds
deposited in the Excess Funding Account on a Transfer Date with respect to the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date are not required to be invested
overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment earnings
(net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Excess

------
which constitute Net Recoveries, investment earnings (net of investment expenses
and losses) on the Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account shall be
treated as Finance Charge Collections and allocated accordingly. The balance of
the Collections processed on any Business Day shall be allocated to Principal
Receivables.

     (d) Allocation of Collections of Recoveries and Defaulted Amounts. On each
         -------------------------------------------------------------
Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Investor Default Amount and

                                       54

<PAGE>

the amount of Net Recoveries, if any, for the preceding Monthly Period with
respect to each Series.

     (e) Adjustments for Miscellaneous Credits. The Servicer shall be obligated
         -------------------------------------
to reduce or adjust, as the case may be, on a net basis, the aggregate amount of
Principal Receivables used to calculate the Seller Amount as provided in this
Section 8.4(e) (a "Credit Adjustment") with respect to any Principal Receivable
--------------     -----------------
(i) which was created in respect of merchandise refused or returned by the
Obligor thereunder, (ii) which is reduced by the Servicer by any rebate, refund,
chargeback or adjustment, (iii) as to which the Obligor thereunder has asserted
a counterclaim or defense and either (x) the Servicer has agreed such
counterclaim or defense is valid or (y) a final nonappealable judgment or decree
has been entered in favor of such Obligor in respect of such counterclaim or
defense by a court or arbitral body having jurisdiction thereof, or (iv) which
the Servicer has determined was created through a fraudulent or counterfeit
charge, but only if and to the extent such fraudulent or counterfeit charges are
not included as charge-offs under the Cardholder Guidelines.

     In the event that the exclusion of the amount of a Credit Adjustment from
the calculation of the Seller Amount would cause the Seller Amount to be less
than the Minimum Seller Amount, Seller shall make a deposit, no later than the
Business Day following the Date of Processing of such Credit Adjustment, in the
Excess Funding Account in immediately available funds, in an amount equal to the
Shortfall Amount, after giving effect to such exclusion to the extent Seller has
received such funds from FCNB under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, if
Seller has not received such funds, to the extent Seller has funds available for
such purpose after amounts payable to Securityholders (as defined in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement) have been paid in full. Such deposit shall be
applied in accordance with this Article VIII and the Indenture Supplements and
                                ------------
treated as a Principal Collection for all purposes hereof and thereof. Each
party hereto agrees that the failure by the Seller to make the deposit beyond
the extent it has such funds available for such purpose in accordance with this
Section 8.4(e) shall not give rise to a claim against the Seller for such
--------------
failure.

     (f) Net Payments. So long as FCNB is the Servicer and FCNB, as Servicer, is
         ------------
making daily deposits to the Collection Account in accordance with Section
                                                                   -------
8.4(a), FCNB, acting as Servicer and as agent for the Holder of the Seller
------
Interest, may make a net payment to the Collection Account on each Deposit Date
in the amount of all Collections received by the Servicer since the previous
Deposit Date, minus all amounts payable to the Holder of the Seller Interest on
or before such day in accordance with this Article VIII and the Indenture
                                           ------------
Supplements.

     (g) Unallocated Collections; Excess Funding Account. On each Business Day,
         ------------------------------------------------
Principal Collections allocable to the Seller Interest (including Shared
Principal Collections and Excess Finance Charge Collections payable to the
Holders of the Seller Interest) in an aggregate amount equal to the Shortfall
Amount shall be deposited in the

                                       55

<PAGE>

Excess Funding Account. Thereafter, amounts in the Excess Funding Account shall
be treated as Shared Principal Collections to the extent that, after giving
effect to the application of such amount as Shared Principal Collections to the
extent provided in any Indenture Supplement, the Seller Amount would equal or
exceed the Minimum Seller Amount.

     (h) Allocation of Deposit Obligations. If the Seller or the Servicer shall
         ---------------------------------
fail to make any Deposit Obligation, the amount thereof shall first be allocated
to reduce the Seller Amount until the Seller Amount equals the Minimum Seller
Amount. Any remaining shortfall shall be allocated to each Series ratably based
upon a fraction the numerator of which is the Allocation Percentage used by such
Series to allocate Default Amounts and the denominator of which is the sum of
all such numerators of all Series outstanding (such allocated amount, the
"Series Share" of such shortfall). The Series Share of each series that
 ------------
specifies a Minimum Seller Percentage greater than zero shall be allocated to
reduce the Seller Amount and any Collections otherwise allocable to the Seller
Amount and the balance on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall be
available on a ratable basis to such Series to cover any shortfalls arising from
such failure; provided to the extent the Seller Amount falls below zero, any
portion of the Series Share of any such Series that is not covered as described
above shall be allocated to such Series. The Series Share of each Series that
specifies a Minimum Seller Percentage of zero shall be allocated to such series.

     Section 8.5. Shared Principal Collections. From and after the FCMT
                  ----------------------------
Termination Date, on each Distribution Date, (a) the Servicer shall allocate
Shared Principal Collections (as described below) to each Principal Sharing
Series, pro rata, in proportion to the Principal Shortfalls (as described
below), if any, with respect to each such Series and (b) the Servicer shall
withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of Collections of Principal
Receivables which the related Indenture Supplements specify are to be treated as
"Shared Principal Collections" for such Distribution Date over (ii) the
 ----------------------------
aggregate amount for all outstanding Series which the related Indenture
Supplements specify are "Principal Shortfalls" for such Series and for such
                         --------------------
Distribution Date and shall (A) deposit such funds into the Excess Funding
Account in an aggregate amount equal to the Shortfall Amount in accordance with
Section 8.4(g) and (B) pay any remaining amount to the Holders of the Seller
--------------
Interest. The Seller may, at its option, instruct the Indenture Trustee in
writing to deposit Shared Principal Collections which are otherwise payable to
the holders of the Seller Interest pursuant to the provisions set forth above
into the Excess Funding Account.

     Section 8.6. Excess Finance Charge Collections. From and after the FCMT
                  ---------------------------------
Termination Date, on each Distribution Date, (a) the Servicer shall allocate
Excess Finance Charge Collections (as described below) to each Excess Allocation
Series, pro rata, in proportion to the Finance Charge Shortfalls (as described
below), if any, with respect to each such Series and (b) the Servicer shall
withdraw from the Collection

                                       56

<PAGE>

Account an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount for
all outstanding Series of Collections of Finance Charge Receivables which the
related Supplements specify are to be treated as "Excess Finance Charge
                                                  ---------------------
Collections" for such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount for all
-----------
outstanding Series which the related Supplements specify are "Finance Charge
                                                              --------------
Shortfalls" for such Series and such Distribution Date and shall (A) deposit
----------
such funds into the Excess Funding Account in an aggregate amount equal to the
Shortfall Amount in accordance with Section 8.4(g) and (b) pay any remaining
                                            ------     ---
amount to the holders of the Seller Interest; provided, however, that the
                                              --------  -------
sharing of Excess Finance Charge Collections among Series will continue only
until such time, if any, at which the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the effect that, in the reasonable belief of
the Seller, the continued sharing of Excess Finance Charge Collections among
Series would have adverse regulatory implications with respect to the Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Group of Series may specify in their related
Indenture Supplements that Excess Finance Charge Collections from such Series
shall be allocated as provided above but only among the Series in such Group.

     Section 8.7. Allocation of Collateral to Series or Groups. To the extent so
                  --------------------------------------------
provided in the Indenture Supplement for any Series or in an Indenture
Supplement otherwise executed pursuant to Section 10.1, Receivables conveyed to
                                          ------------
the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and
                       -----------
Receivables conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Transfer and
                                               -----------
Servicing Agreement and all Collections received with respect thereto may be
allocated or applied in whole or in part to one or more Series or Groups as may
be provided in such Indenture Supplement; provided, however, that any such
                                          --------  -------
allocation or application shall be effective only upon satisfaction of the
following conditions:

     allocation, the Servicer shall have given the Indenture Trustee and each
     Rating Agency written notice of such allocation;

          (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with
     respect to such allocation; and

          (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an
     Officer's Certificate, dated the date of such allocation, to the effect
     that the Servicer reasonably believes that such allocation will not have an
     Adverse Effect.

     Any such Indenture Supplement may provide that (i) such allocation to one
or more particular Series or Groups may terminate upon the occurrence of certain
events specified therein and (ii) that upon the occurrence of any such event,
such assets and any Collections with respect thereto, shall be reallocated to
other Series or Groups or to all Series, all as shall be provided in such
Indenture Supplement.

     Section 8.8. Release of Collateral; Eligible Loan Documents.
                  ----------------------------------------------

     (a) Upon the written direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee may,
and when required by the provisions of 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 which are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII
                                                                 ------------
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
monies.

     (b) In order to facilitate the servicing of the Receivables by the
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authorize the Servicer
to execute in the name and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
other comparable instruments with respect to the Receivables (and the Indenture
Trustee shall execute any such documents on written request of the Servicer),
subject to the obligations of the Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
outstanding, release and transfer, without recourse, all of the Collateral that
secured the Notes (other than any cash held for the payment of the Notes
pursuant to Section 4.2). The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the
            -----------
lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.9(c) only upon receipt of an
                                        --------------
Issuer Order accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and
(if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Section
314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 12.1.
                                                            ------------

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement, immediately prior to
the release of any portion of the Collateral or any funds on deposit in the
Series Accounts pursuant to this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall at the
written request of the Issuer remit to the Seller for its own account any funds
that, upon such release, would otherwise be remitted to the Issuer.

     Section 8.9. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at
                  ------------------
least seven (7) days notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action
pursuant to Section 8.8(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, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the
steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions
precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action
will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture;
provided,
--------

                                       58

<PAGE>

however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an
-------
opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. The Indenture Trustee and
counsel rendering any such opinion may conclusively 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.

<PAGE>

Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may,

sections of this Indenture which specify the applicable percentage of the
Outstanding Notes of any Series necessary to amend the Indenture or any
Transaction Documents which require such consent;

Notes or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the

deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the Lien of this
Indenture.

     The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination
shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

     Satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition shall not be required with
respect to the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section

supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.2, the Indenture Trustee
                                        ------------
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates written notice setting forth in general terms the substance of

such supplemental indenture.

Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     Section 10.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
                   --------------------------------
supplemental indenture under this Article X, this Indenture shall be modified in
                                  ---------
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. This Section 10.4
                                                                   ------------

                 ---------
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer 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 the outstanding Notes.

     Section 11.1. Termination of Issuer. The Issuer and the respective
                   ---------------------
obligations and responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other
than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make payments to Noteholders as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties
described in Section 11.2(b), as provided in the Trust Agreement.
             ---------------

     Section 11.2. Final Distribution.
                   ------------------

     (a) The Servicer shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Distribution Date on which
the Noteholders of any Series or Class may surrender their Notes for payment of
the final distribution on and cancellation of such Notes (or, in the event of a
final distribution resulting from the application of Section 2.6 of the Transfer
                                                     -----------
and Servicing Agreement, notice of such Distribution Date promptly after the
Servicer has determined that a final distribution will occur, if such
determination is made less than thirty (30) days prior to such Distribution
Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate setting
forth the information specified in Section 3.5 of the Transfer and Servicing
                                   -----------
Agreement covering the period during the then-current calendar year through the
date of such notice. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the
final distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Noteholders,
the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to Noteholders of such Series or
Class specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of such Series or Class
will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes of such Series or Class at
the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date
is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
such Notes at the office or offices therein specified (which in the case of
Bearer Notes shall be outside the United States). The Indenture Trustee shall
give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Paying Agent at the
time such notice is given to Noteholders.

     (b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Series
or Class (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise provided in
this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any
Series Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust
for the benefit of such Noteholders and the Paying Agent or the Indenture
Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes,
if certificated (and any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
any Enhancement Agreement). In the event that all such Noteholders shall not
surrender their Notes for cancellation within six (6) months after the date
specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee

                                       64

<PAGE>

described in paragraph (a), the Indenture Trustee shall give a second notice to
the remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and
receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and
payment, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States). If
within one year after the second notice all such Notes shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining such
Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be
paid out of the funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for
the benefit of such Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee and, upon the written
request of the Servicer, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer any monies
held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for
two (2) years. After payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money
must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person.

     Section 11.3. Issuer's Termination Rights. Upon the termination of the
                   ---------------------------
Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and upon the written
direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign and convey to the
Holders of the Seller Interest or any of their designees, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in the
Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all Recoveries related
thereto all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable
with respect thereto (including all moneys then held in the Collection Account
or any Series Account) and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2(b). The Indenture Trustee shall
                              ---------------
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case
without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of
the Seller Interest to vest in the Holders of the Seller Interest or any of
their designees all right, title and interest which the Indenture Trustee had in
the Collateral and such other property.

     Section 12.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions etc.
                   ----------------------------------------

     (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the
proposed action have been complied with and (ii) (if required by the TIA) an
Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the
applicable requirements of this Section 12.1, except that, in the case of any
                                ------------
such application or request as to which

                                       65

<PAGE>

the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of
this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

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

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

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

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

     (b) Other than with respect to the release of any Receivables in Removed
Accounts, whenever any property or investment property is to be released from
the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture
Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each
person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within ninety (90) days of
such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating
that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

          (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.1, the
                                                          ------------
     Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables
     as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and
     (B) make cash payments out of the Series Accounts as and to the extent
     permitted or required by the Transaction Documents.

     Section 12.2. 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 a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any such certificate of a Responsible 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, a Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Servicer, a Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such Responsible
Officer or Counsel has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

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

     Section 12.3. 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 instruments of

                                       67

<PAGE>

substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by their
agents duly appointed in writing and satisfying any requisite percentages as to
minimum number or dollar value of outstanding principal amount represented by
such Noteholders; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
                                                            ---
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.3.
                                                               ------------

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved in any manner which 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 other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder (and any
transferee thereof) 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 12.4. Notices, Etc. to Indenture Trustee and Issuer. Any request,
                   ---------------------------------------------
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders
or other documents provided or permitted by the Agreement 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 a Trustee Officer, by facsimile transmission or by other means
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee 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 it and received by it c/o Bankers
Trust Company, Four Albany Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10006, Attn:
Corporate Trust and Agency Services, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer. A copy of each
notice to the Issuer shall be sent in writing and mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to the Administrator at First

     Section 12.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where the 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 by
registered or certified mail or first class postage prepaid or national
overnight courier service to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its
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 which 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 waiver.

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

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to any Rating Agency, 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 12.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any
                   ---------------------------------------
provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer,
with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, 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 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 12.7. 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 any of the provisions of the TIA, such required
provision shall control.

     The provisions of TIA Sections 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.

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

     Section 12.9. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
                   ----------------------
Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

     Section 12.10. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
                    ------------
the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

     Section 12.11. 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, and the Noteholders, the Servicer and the
Seller, any benefit.

     Section 12.12. 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 succeeding 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 12.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE
     -------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN

but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     Section 12.15. Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
                    -----------------
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner 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 Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,

Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or

being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee as follows:

     (1) The Master Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest
(as defined in the applicable UCC) in (i) the Collateral Certificate and (ii)
Permitted Investments (the Collateral Certificate and Permitted Investments
together, the "Collateral" for the purposes of this paragraph (A)) in favor of
               ----------                           -------------
the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and
is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer
(other than Liens permitted pursuant to paragraph (A)(3) below).

     (2) The Collateral Certificate constitutes a "certificated security,"
"instrument" or "general intangible" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
The Permitted Investments constitute "instruments," "payment intangibles,"
"uncertificated securities" or "deposit accounts" under the applicable UCC.

     (3) Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free
and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person; provided that nothing
in this paragraph 3 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit Issuer from suffering
to exist upon any of the Collateral any Liens for any taxes if such taxes shall
not at the time be due and payable or if FCNB or Issuer, as applicable, shall
currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto. Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of
the Collateral to the sale of the Collateral hereunder to the Indenture Trustee.

     (4) (a) If perfection is by filing (i) Issuer has caused, or will have
caused within 10 days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the
proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in

                                    ----------------
the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank
maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions
originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in such
deposit accounts without further consent by the Issuer, or Issuer has taken all
steps necessary to cause Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of the
deposit accounts. (d) If perfection is by control, with regard to Permitted
Investments that constitute "uncertificated securities" within the meaning of
the applicable UCC, each issuer of Permitted Investments that constitutes an
uncertificated security has registered the Indenture Trustee as the registered
owner, or the Issuer is the registered owner of such uncertificated security and
has agreed in writing that it will comply with instructions originated by the
Indenture Trustee without further consent by the Issuer.

     (5) Other than the grant of the security interest in the Collateral to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Master Indenture, Issuer has not pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral. Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any
financing statements against Issuer that include a description of collateral

finally and fully paid. The parties hereto shall not, without satisfying the
Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach of any representation or warranty set

Servicer shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other
than filing financing statements) as may be necessary or advisable (including,
without limitation, such actions as are requested by Indenture Trustee) to
maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, Issuer's or the Indenture
Trustee's security interest in the Collateral. The 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's authorization and approval all
financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements
in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue,
maintain and perfect as a first-priority interest. The Indenture Trustee's
approval of such filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing
statements under the applicable UCC without the signature of Issuer or Indenture
Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the
Master Indenture to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to
file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any
amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such
financing statements, without the prior written consent of the Indenture
Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may require, prior to authorizing or filing any
such termination, partial termination, release, partial release or amendment,
that Servicer provide an Opinion of Counsel that such filings are authorized
under the Master Indenture.

     (B) Effective on the FCMT Termination Date and on each Closing Date with
respect to each Series, in addition to the representations, warranties and
covenants contained in the Master Indenture, Issuer hereby represents, warrants
and covenants to the Indenture Trustee as follows:

     (1) The Master Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest
(as defined in the applicable UCC) in (i) the Receivables conveyed (whether as a
valid transfer or as a grant of a security interest) to the Issuer pursuant to
the Servicing Agreement, (ii) all rights to security for such Receivables
(including without limitation rights to bank accounts or certificates of deposit
pledged as collateral) conveyed (whether as a valid transfer or as a grant of a
security interest) to the Issuer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (the
"Obligor Collateral") and (iii) Permitted Investments (the Obligor Collateral
 ------------------
and Permitted Investments together with the Receivables, the "Collateral" for
                                                              ----------
the purposes of this paragraph (B)) in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which
                     -------------
security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such
against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer (other than Liens permitted
pursuant to paragraph (B)(3) below).

     (2) The Receivables constitute "accounts" within the meaning of the
applicable UCC. The Obligor Collateral constitutes security interests on

perfection of a security interest in such security interests is governed by
Sections 9-203(g) and 9-308(e), respectively, of the applicable UCC. The
Permitted Investments constitute

marketable title to the Collateral, and a valid, perfected security interest in
the collateral for the Receivables in any secured Accounts, in each case, free
and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person; provided that nothing
in this paragraph 3 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit Issuer from suffering
to exist upon any of the Collateral any Liens for any taxes if such taxes shall
not at the time be due and payable or if FCNB or Issuer, as applicable, shall
currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto. Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of
the Collateral to the grant of the security interest in the Collateral hereunder
to the Indenture Trustee.

     (4) (a) If perfection is by filing (i) Issuer has caused, or will have

Indenture Trustee under the Master Indenture. (b) If perfection is by
possession, all original executed copies of each mortgage note, promissory note
or security certificate that constitute or evidence the Collateral have been

Indenture Trustee or in blank or (iii) has been registered in the name of the
Indenture Trustee. (c) With regard to Permitted Investments that constitute

--------
agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed
to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing
disposition of the funds in such deposit accounts without further consent by the
Issuer, or Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause Indenture Trustee to
become the account holder of the deposit accounts. (d) If perfection is by
control, with regard to Permitted Investments that constitute "uncertificated
securities" within the meaning of the applicable UCC, each issuer of Permitted
Investments that constitutes an uncertificated security has registered the
Indenture Trustee as the registered owner, or the Issuer is the registered owner
of such uncertificated security and has agreed in writing that it will comply
with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by
the Issuer.

     (5) Other than the grant of the security interest in the Collateral to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Master Indenture, Issuer has not pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral. Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any

promissory notes or security certificates that constitute or evidence the
Collateral. The mortgage notes, promissory notes or security certificates that
constitute or evidence the Collateral do not have any marks or notations
indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee. All financing statements to be filed
against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith
describing the Collateral will contain a statement to the effect that "A
purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing
statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee". (b) If perfection

     (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Master Indenture, the
representations and warranties set forth in this Annex B shall be continuing,
                                                 -------
and remain in full force and effect, until such time as all Notes have been
finally and fully paid. The parties hereto shall not, without satisfying the
Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in this Annex B. In order to evidence the interests of Issuer and the
              -------
Indenture Trustee under the Master Indenture, Issuer and Servicer shall take
such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than filing
financing statements) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without
limitation, such actions as are requested by Indenture Trustee) to maintain and
perfect, as a first priority interest, Issuer's or the Indenture Trustee's
security interest in the Collateral. The 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's authorization and approval all financing
statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of
a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and
perfect as a first-priority interest. The Indenture Trustee's approval of such
filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing statements under the
applicable UCC without the signature of Issuer or Indenture Trustee where
allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Master Indenture
to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a
termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment
that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing
statements, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee may require, prior to authorizing or filing any such
termination, partial termination, release, partial release or amendment, that
Servicer provide an Opinion of Counsel that such filings are authorised under
the Master Indenture.
