Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee and the Noteholder prompt
written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location,
and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Trustee shall have
the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain
copies thereof. The Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a
certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer
thereof as to the name and address of the Holder of the Note and the principal
amounts and number of the Note.

         (b) Subject to SECTION 2.5 hereof, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of the Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as
provided in SECTION 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are

authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a new Note in the minimum denomination of $10,000,000 or any
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and a like aggregate principal amount.

         (c) At the option of the Holder, the Note may be exchanged for another
Note in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever the Note is so surrendered for exchange, subject to SECTION 2.5
hereof, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer
shall execute, and upon request by the Issuer the Trustee shall authenticate,
and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, the Note which the Noteholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the

         (b) Transfers to Qualified Institutional Buyers are subject to the
following:

                  (i) Each purchaser of the Note that is a qualified
         institutional buyer will be deemed to have represented and agreed as
         follows (terms used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A
         under the Securities Act are used herein as defined therein):

                           (A) The purchaser (1) is a qualified institutional
                  buyer, (2) is aware that the sale of the Note to it is being
                  made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided
                  by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (3) is acquiring the
                  Note for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of

<PAGE>

                  which is a qualified institutional buyer, and as to each of
                  which the purchaser exercises sole investment discretion, for
                  the purchaser and for each such account. The purchaser has
                  such knowledge and experience in financial and business
                  matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
                  its investment in the Note, and the purchaser and any accounts
                  for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk
                  of the purchaser's or its investment.

                           (B) The purchaser understands that the Note is being
                  offered only in a transaction not involving any public
                  offering in the United States within the meaning of the
                  Securities Act, the Note has not been and will not be
                  registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the
                  purchaser decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise
                  transfer the Note, the Note may be offered, resold, pledged or
                  otherwise transferred only in accordance with the legend on
                  the Note set forth in Section 2.5(d). The purchaser
                  acknowledges that no representation is made by the Issuer as

                  or any state securities laws for resale of the Note.

                           (C) The purchaser is not purchasing the Note with a
                  view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof
                  in violation of the Securities Act. The purchaser understands
                  that an investment in the Note involves certain risks,
                  including the risk of loss of a substantial part of its
                  investment under certain circumstances. The purchaser has had
                  access to such financial and other information concerning the
                  Issuer and the Note as it deemed necessary or appropriate in
                  order to make an informed investment decision with respect to
                  its purchase of the Note, including an opportunity to ask
                  questions of and request information from the Noteholder and
                  the Issuer.

                           (D) In connection with the transfer of the Note: (i)
                  none of the Issuer or the Noteholder is acting as a fiduciary
                  or financial or investment adviser for the purchaser; (ii) the
                  purchaser is not relying (for purposes of making any
                  investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or
                  representations (whether written or oral) of the Issuer or the
                  Noteholder other than any representations expressly set forth
                  in a written agreement with such party; (iii) none of the
                  Issuer or the Noteholder has given to the purchaser (directly
                  or indirectly through any other person) any assurance,
                  guarantee, or representation whatsoever as to the expected or
                  projected success, profitability, return, performance, result,
                  effect, consequence, or benefit (including legal, regulatory,
                  tax, financial, accounting, or otherwise) of the Indenture or
                  documentation for the Note; (iv) the purchaser has consulted
                  with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment,
                  financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed
                  necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions
                  (including decisions regarding the suitability of any
                  transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own
                  judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has
                  deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the
                  Issuer; (v) the purchaser has determined that the rates,
                  prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and sale of

                                      -7-

                  thereof (economic and otherwise), and it is capable of
                  assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise)
                  those risks; and (vii) the purchaser is a sophisticated
                  investor.

                  the legend set forth in SECTION 2.5(d).

                           (F) The purchaser will not, at any time, offer to buy
                  or offer to sell the Note by any form of general solicitation
                  or advertising, including, but not limited to, any
                  advertisement, article, notice or other communication
                  published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or
                  broadcast over television or radio or seminar or meeting whose
                  attendees have been invited by general solicitations or
                  advertisings.

                           (G) The purchaser represents that either (1) it is
                  not a Benefit Plan and is not acting on behalf of or investing

                  Section 4975 of the Code pursuant to a U.S. Department of
                  Labor prohibited transaction class exemption.

                           (H) The purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer, the
                  Noteholder and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of
                  the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements
                  and agrees that, if any of the acknowledgments,
                  representations or warranties deemed to have been made by it
                  by or in connection with its purchase of the Note are no
                  longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer and the
                  Noteholder. If the purchaser is acquiring the Note as a
                  fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it shall
                  be deemed to have represented that it has sole investment

                  Noteholder the information required to be delivered under
                  paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

         OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING ANY NOTE, AGREES
         FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT IT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR THAT
         IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR

         AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER, (2) TO A PERSON THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY
         BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF

         EACH SUCH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE INDENTURE AND ALL APPLICABLE
         SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER
         JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, THAT THE TRUSTEE OR THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE AN
         OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED
         WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, WHICH OPINION OF
         COUNSEL, IF SO REQUIRED, SHALL BE ADDRESSED TO THE ISSUER AND THE
         TRUSTEE AND SHALL BE SECURED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HOLDER.

         SECTION 2.6 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTE. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required
by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and, provided that the requirements of
Section 8-405 and 8-406 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon
request by the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen

                                      -9-

Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven days shall
be, due and payable or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing
a replacement Note, the Issuer may direct the Trustee, in writing, to pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost
or stolen Note pursuant to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the
original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued, presents for
payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to
recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was
delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to
the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the
Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

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

         SECTION 2.7 PERSONS DEEMED OWNER. Prior to due presentment for

the extent lawful) at the Note Interest Rate then in effect in any lawful
manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Noteholder on the
immediately following Settlement Date, and if such amount is not paid on such
following Settlement Date, then on a subsequent special record date, which date

certification by the Issuer as to the satisfaction of the conditions specified
in the previous sentence.

         The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Note may be increased
through the funding of the Advances. Each Advance and corresponding Advance
Amount shall be recorded on the grid attached to the Note or in an electronic
file substantially in the same form as such grid. The grid (or such electronic
file) shall show all Advance Amounts and prepayments. The Noteholder shall be
responsible for maintaining the grid with respect to the Note. Absent manifest
error, all such grid entries (whether manual or in electronic form) shall be
dispositive with respect to the determination of the outstanding principal
amount of the Note. The Note (i) can be funded by Advances on any Funding Date
in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and any higher amount (subject to the Maximum
Invested Amount), and (ii) subject to subsequent Advances pursuant to this
SECTION 2.11, are subject to prepayment in whole or in part, at the option of
the Issuer as provided in Article X herein.

                                    COVENANTS

         SECTION 3.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Issuer will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Note in accordance with the
terms of the Note and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer
will cause to be distributed on each Settlement Date all amounts deposited in

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

the Note Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to
the Noteholder. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a
payment to the Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as
having been paid by the Issuer to the Noteholder for all purposes of this
Indenture.

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

         SECTION 3.3 MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. On or before each
Settlement Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note
Distribution Account from the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to
pay the amounts then becoming due under the Note, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Note Paying
Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act. Except as provided in Section 3.3(c) hereof, all payments of amounts
due and payable with respect to the Note that are to be made from amounts
withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account shall be made on behalf of the
Issuer by the Trustee or by the Note Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn
from the Note Distribution Account for payment of the Note shall be paid to the
Issuer.

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

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

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

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

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and
maintain, in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholder, a first
lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate.
The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared),

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

The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to

included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of or impair the validity
or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any
bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the other
Basic Documents or such other instrument or agreement.

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

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

right consequent thereto.

         from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this
         Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

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

                  (iv) sell or direct the Trustee to sell the Trust Estate or
         any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more
         public or private sales (including, without limitation, the sale of the
         Collateral in connection with a securitization thereof) called and
         conducted in any manner permitted by law.

         SECTION 5.5 OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE RECEIVABLES. If the Note has
been declared to be due and payable under SECTION 5.2 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the
Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholder that
there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

interest on the Note, and the Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may,
but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

         SECTION 5.6 PRIORITIES.

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

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

         SECTION 5.7 LIMITATION OF SUITS. Unless the Note shall be held by the
initial Holder or an affiliate thereof, no Holder of the Note shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

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

it being understood and intended that no Holder of the Note shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of the
Note or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and it being understood that if the Note is held by the initial Holder
or an affiliate thereof, the Holder may directly institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 5.12 [RESERVED].

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 5.16 SALE OF TRUST ESTATE.

         (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not in
any private sale sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof
unless,

                  (i) the Noteholder consents to or directs the Trustee in
         writing to make such sale; or

                  (ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum
         of all amounts due on the entire unpaid principal amount of the Note
         and interest due or to become due thereon in accordance with Section
         5.6 hereof on the Settlement Date next succeeding the date of such
         sale.

         (b) For any public sale of the Trust Estate, the Trustee shall have
provided the Noteholder with notice of such sale at least two weeks in advance
of such sale which notice shall specify the date, time and location of such
sale.

         (c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Trust
Estate:

                  (i) the Noteholder may bid for and purchase the property
         offered for sale, and may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such
         property, without further accountability, and the Noteholder may, in
         paying the purchase money therefor, deliver in lieu of cash any
         Outstanding Note or claims for interest thereon for credit in the
         amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale,
         be payable thereon, and the Note, in case the amounts so payable
         thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to
         the Noteholder after being appropriately stamped to show such partial
         payment;

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
         instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of
         the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof; and

                  (iii) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent
         and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest
         in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof,
         and to take all action necessary to effect such sale.

         (d) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any
portion of the Trust Estate shall be commercially reasonable.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

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

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

                  (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
         such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and each of
         the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and no implied
         covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
         Trustee; and

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

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

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

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

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.4 TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture, the Trust Estate, the Collateral or the Note, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Note, and it shall not

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Note or in the Note other
than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 6.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence
thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to the Noteholder notice of the Default within three (3) Business
Days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on the Note (including payments pursuant to
the mandatory redemption provisions of the Note, if any), the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Noteholder.

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

         SECTION 6.7 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. Pursuant to Section 5.7 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer
shall reimburse the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee
against any and all loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee without
willful misfeasance, negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection therewith. The
Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which
it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the
Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the
Servicer of its obligations under Article XII of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall or shall
cause the Servicer to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

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

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  (iii) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee, the Noteholder and the Issuer, whereupon,
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Trustee under this Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held
by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

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

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

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

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

         (a) In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee by
merger, conversion or consolidation shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture the Note shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such
successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor trustee, and deliver the Note so authenticated; and in case at that
time the Note shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

may authenticate the Note either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Note or in
this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.11 ELIGIBILITY: DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition and subject to supervision or

respect to long-term and short-term unsecured obligations, of not less than

         SECTION 6.13 APPOINTMENT AND POWERS. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Noteholder hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association as the Trustee with respect to the Collateral, and Wells Fargo Bank,

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.16 [RESERVED].

         SECTION 6.17 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.18 [RESERVED].

         SECTION 6.19 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee
represents and warrants to the Issuer and to the Noteholder as follows:

         (a) The Trustee is a national banking association, duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and is
duly authorized and licensed under applicable law to conduct its business as
presently conducted.

         (b) The Trustee has all requisite right, power and authority to execute
and deliver this Indenture and to perform all of its duties as Trustee
hereunder.

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

         (d) The Trustee has duly executed and delivered this Indenture and each
other Basic Document to which it is a party, and each of this Indenture and each
such other Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms,

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may
be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

         SECTION 6.20 WAIVER OF SETOFFS. The Trustee hereby expressly waives any
and all rights of setoff that the Trustee may otherwise at any time have under
applicable law with respect to any Pledged Account and agrees that amounts in
the Pledged Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance
with the provisions hereof.

         SECTION 6.21 CONTROL BY THE NOTEHOLDER. The Trustee shall comply with
notices and instructions given by the Issuer only if accompanied by the written
consent of the Noteholder, except that if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall act upon and comply with notices
and instructions given by the Noteholder alone in the place and stead of the
Issuer.

                COLLECTION OF MONEY AND RELEASES OF TRUST ESTATE

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

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

                                      -41-

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

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

supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the
Noteholder a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such

                        REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF NOTE

         SECTION 10.1 REPAYMENT OF THE NOTE; OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTE. If
the Facility Termination Date is determined in accordance with subsection (I) of
the definition thereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Note and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be amortized and shall be payable in
full by the Final Scheduled Settlement Date. If the Facility Termination Date is
determined in accordance with subsection (II) of the definition thereof, such
Facility Termination Date will result in immediate acceleration of the Note
pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. If the Facility Termination Date is determined
in accordance with subsection (III) of the definition thereof, the outstanding
principal balance of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will
be amortized and shall be payable in full by the third Settlement Date following
the relevant anniversary of the Closing Date. The Issuer may, at its option,
prepay the Invested Amount of the Note, in whole or in part, at any time and
without premium or penalty on any Business Day (such day the "PREPAYMENT DATE")
in accordance with Section 10.2; provided that no such prepayment may occur
unless and until all amounts due and payable in respect of clauses (i) through
(iii) and (vii) of Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement have been
paid in full. Simultaneous with any such prepayment, the Issuer shall pay all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Invested Amount to be prepaid.

         SECTION 10.2 NOTICE OF PREPAYMENT. Notice of the prepayment of the Note
shall be given, upon the direction of the Issuer, by the Trustee by facsimile
transmission, courier or first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed, faxed or
couriered not less than five (5) days prior to the related Prepayment Date, to
the Noteholder. All notices of prepayment shall state (i) the Prepayment Date,
(ii) the Invested Amount to be prepaid, and (iii) the accrued and unpaid
interest on the Invested Amount to be prepaid. Failure to give notice of
prepayment, or any defect therein, to the Noteholder shall not impair or affect
the validity of such prepayment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -46-

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

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

         SECTION 11.2 FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE. 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.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.3 ACTS OF THE NOTEHOLDER. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholder may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
the Noteholder in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "ACT" of the Noteholder signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.4 NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE, ISSUER, NOTEHOLDER AND RATING
AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of the Noteholder or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

                  (i) the Trustee by the Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered,
         delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt
         requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to
         the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office;

                  (ii) the Issuer by the Trustee or by the Noteholder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered,

         requested and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt by the

         previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer. The
         Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the
         Noteholder to the Trustee; or

                  (iii) the Noteholder shall be sufficient for any purpose
         hereunder if in writing and mailed by registered mail or personally
         delivered or telexed or telecopied to the recipient as follows:

         SECTION 11.5 WAIVER. 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 Noteholder shall be filed with
the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

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

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

         SECTION 11.6 ALTERNATE PAYMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or the Note to the contrary, the Issuer may
enter into any agreement with the Holder of the Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Trustee or the Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that
is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments
or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the
Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause
payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

         SECTION 11.7 EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and

Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of the
Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. The successors and assigns
of the Noteholder shall be third party beneficiaries to the provisions of this
Indenture and shall be entitled to rely upon and to directly enforce the

         SECTION 11.9 SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Note 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 11.10 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 Note 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 11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         SECTION 11.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         SECTION 11.13 RECORDING OF INDENTURE. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the
protection of the Noteholder or any other person secured hereunder or for the
enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee under this Indenture.

         SECTION 11.14 ISSUER OBLIGATION. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer or the Trustee on the Note or under this Indenture or any certificate
or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee in its individual capacity (ii) any owner of
a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary,
agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of
the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee in its individual capacity, except as

has no such obligations in its 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.

Indenture, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute
against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,

similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Note, this
Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

         SECTION 11.16 INSPECTION. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Noteholder or the Trustee,
during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account,

therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the
Issuer's officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The
Trustee and the Noteholder shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required
by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Trustee may reasonably determine
that such disclosure is consistent with its Obligations hereunder.

Basic Documents, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, contains a final
and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement

                             NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30, 2004 (as amended,

with the terms hereof, this "AGREEMENT"), is made among PAGE FUNDING LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "ISSUER"), CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES,

together with any successors in such capacity, the "NOTE PURCHASER").

                                   BACKGROUND

                  1. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Issuer, the Note Purchaser and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, a national banking association, as trustee (together with its

                  3. The Issuer will acquire a pool of Receivables (the "INITIAL
RECEIVABLES") from CPS pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
June 30, 2004 (such date, the "INITIAL CUTOFF DATE" and such agreement, the
"SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"), among the Issuer, as purchaser, CPS, as seller
and servicer (in such capacities, the "SELLER" and the "SERVICER,"
respectively), and the Trustee. The Issuer will in turn pledge the Initial
Receivables to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. From time to time prior to
the Facility Termination Date pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Seller will sell, and the Issuer will purchase, additional pools of Receivables
(the "ADDITIONAL RECEIVABLES" and, together with the Initial Receivables, the
"RECEIVABLES") secured by the new and used automobiles, vans, minivans and light
trucks financed thereby, which Additional Receivables will be described in the
schedules to one or more assignments by the Seller to the Issuer (each, an
"ASSIGNMENT") dated as of the cutoff date specified therein (such date, a
"CUTOFF DATE" and each date of transfer, a "FUNDING DATE"). The Issuer will in
turn pledge the Additional Receivables to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

                  4. The Issuer wishes to issue the Note in favor of the Note
Purchaser and obtain the agreement of the Note Purchaser to make loans from time
to time (each, an "ADVANCE") for the purchase of Invested Amounts, all of which
Advances (including the Initial Advance) will constitute Advances, and all of
which Advances (including the Initial Advance) will be evidenced by the Note
purchased in connection herewith. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Note Purchaser is willing to make Advances from time to time to
fund purchases of Invested Amounts in an aggregate outstanding amount up to the
Maximum Invested Amount until the commencement of the Amortization Period. CPS
has joined in this Agreement to confirm certain representations, warranties and
covenants made by it as Servicer for the benefit of the Note Purchaser.

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   DEFINITIONS

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

                                   ARTICLE II
                          PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE NOTE

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

         SECTION 2.02 ADVANCES. Upon the Issuer's request, delivered in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.03, and the satisfaction of all
conditions precedent thereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Note
Purchaser shall make Advances from time to time during the Term; provided that
no Advance shall be required or permitted to be made on any date if, after
giving effect to such Advance, (a) the Invested Amount would exceed the Maximum
Invested Amount or (b) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would exist.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the aggregate
principal amount of the Advances outstanding may be increased or decreased from
time to time.

         SECTION 2.03 ADVANCE PROCEDURES. Whenever the Issuer wishes the Note
Purchaser to make an Advance, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Servicer to)
notify the Note Purchaser by written notice, with an electronic copy of such
notice sent to the Note Purchaser, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B hereto
(each such request, an "ADVANCE REQUEST"), delivered to the Note Purchaser no
later than two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date. Each such

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Advance Request shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this
Agreement and specify the aggregate amount of the requested Advance to be made
on such date. The Note Purchaser shall promptly thereafter (but in no event
later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed Funding Date) notify
the Issuer whether the Note Purchaser has determined to make the requested
Advance. On the Funding Date, subject to the other conditions set forth herein,
in the Indenture, and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Note Purchaser
shall make available to the Issuer the amount of such Advance by wire transfer
in U.S. dollars of such amount in same day funds to an account designated by CPS
no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Advance.

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

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

                                   ARTICLE III
                                INTEREST AND FEES

         SECTION 3.01 INTEREST. Each Advance funded or maintained by the Note
Purchaser during any Interest Period shall bear interest at the Note Interest
Rate.

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

                  (b) All computations of interest at the Note Interest Rate
shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed. Whenever any payment of interest or principal in respect of any Advance
shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in
the computation of the amount of interest owed.

         SECTION 3.02 FEES.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  (a) On June 30, 2004, the Issuer and the Servicer shall
jointly and severally pay or cause to be paid to the Note Purchaser a
structuring fee equal to the product of (x) 0.50% and (y) the Maximum Invested
Amount, along with the Note Purchaser's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including its legal fees, in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05.

                  (b) On each Settlement Date on or prior to the Facility
Termination Date, the Issuer and the Servicer shall jointly and severally pay or
cause to be paid to the Note Purchaser a facility fee equal to (i) the product
of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed
in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360 and (y) 0.25%
and (ii) the difference between (a) the Maximum Invested Amount and (b) the
daily average outstanding Invested Amount (the "UNUSED FACILITY FEE") during the
related Interest Period.

         SECTION 3.03 INCREASED COSTS, ETC. The Issuer agrees to reimburse the
Note Purchaser for an increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of
any sum receivable by the Note Purchaser, including reductions in the rate of
return on the Note Purchaser's capital, in respect of making, continuing or
maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Advances
that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness, interpretation reinterpretation or phase-in, in each case, after
the date hereof, of any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or
request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank,
regulator or other Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect
to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by SECTIONS 3.04 and
3.05, respectively. Each such demand shall be provided to the Issuer in writing
and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional
amount required fully to compensate the Note Purchaser for such increased cost
or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the
Issuer to the Note Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of
such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Issuer.

         SECTION 3.04 INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS. If any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation or reinterpretation or
phase-in, in each case after the date hereof, of any law or regulation,
directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of
law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to
be maintained by the Note Purchaser or any Person controlling the Note Purchaser
and the Note Purchaser reasonably determines that the rate of return on its or
such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its commitment or the
Advances made by the Note Purchaser is reduced to a level below that which the
Note Purchaser or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the
occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from
time to time by the Note Purchaser to the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the
Note Purchaser an incremental commitment fee sufficient to compensate the Note
Purchaser or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A
statement of the Note Purchaser as to any such additional amount or amounts
(including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include
a payment for accrued amounts due under this SECTION 3.04 prior to such initial
payment. In determining such additional amount, the Note Purchaser may use any
method of averaging and attribution that it shall reasonably deem applicable so
long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.

         SECTION 3.05 TAXES. All payments by the Issuer of principal of, and
interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including
fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or
future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing
authority, but excluding in the case of the Note Purchaser, taxes imposed on or
measured by its overall net income, overall receipts or overall assets and
franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction in which the Note Purchaser is
organized or is operating or any political subdivision thereof (such
non-excluded items being called "TAXES"). In the event that any withholding or
deduction from any payment to be made by the Issuer hereunder is required in
respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then
the Issuer will:

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

                  (b) promptly forward to the Note Purchaser or its agent an
official receipt or other documentation evidencing such payment to such
authority; and

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

                  Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Note
Purchaser with respect to any payment received by the Note Purchaser or its
agent, the Note Purchaser or such agent may pay such Taxes and the Issuer will
promptly upon receipt of prior written notice stating the amount of such Taxes
pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as
is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the
payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall
equal the amount the Note Purchaser would have received had not such Taxes been
asserted. The Note Purchaser shall make all reasonable efforts to avoid the
imposition of any Taxes which would give rise to an additional payment under
this SECTION 3.05.

                  If the Issuer fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Note Purchaser or its agent
the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Issuer shall
indemnify the Note Purchaser and its agent, if any, for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Note Purchaser or its agent
as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this SECTION 3.05, a
distribution hereunder by the agent for the Note Purchaser shall be deemed a
payment by the Issuer.

<PAGE>

                  Upon the request of the Issuer, the Note Purchaser, if it is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, shall,
prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent
permissible under then current law, execute and deliver to the Issuer on or
about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year thereafter, one or
more (as the Issuer may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue
Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN or such other forms or documents (or
successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to
establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to the Note Purchaser is exempt
from withholding or deduction of Taxes. The Issuer shall not, however, be
required to pay any increased amount under this SECTION 3.05 to the Note
Purchaser if the Note Purchaser fails to comply with the requirements set forth
in this paragraph.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                               OTHER PAYMENT TERMS

         SECTION 4.01 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT. All amounts payable to the
Note Purchaser hereunder or with respect to the Note shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars not later than 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the date due. Any funds received after that time will be
deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

                                    ARTICLE V

respect to the Issuer, to cause the Trustee to authorize and issue the Note from
time to time as contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture;

                  (b) this Agreement and the Note have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Issuer, and constitute the legal, valid and
binding agreements of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance
with their terms;

<PAGE>

                  (c) neither the Issuer nor, to the best of the Issuer's
knowledge after due inquiry, anyone acting on the Issuer's behalf, has offered,
pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Note or any interest therein or
solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of
the Note or any interest therein or otherwise approached or negotiated with
respect to the Note or any interest therein, with any person in any manner, or

manner, or taken any other action, which would constitute a public distribution
of the Note under the Securities Act, or which would render the disposition of
any Note in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities
laws, or require registration or qualification pursuant thereto or require
registration of the Issuer under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Investment Company Act"), nor will the Issuer act, nor has the Issuer
authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such a manner with respect
to the Note. Until the earlier to occur of (i) the Facility Termination Date or

                  (d) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Issuer's
delivery of the Note and the acceptance by the Note Purchaser of the Note will
not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of the Employee

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

                  (e) the Issuer is not required, and will not be required to
register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act, and the
Issuer is not controlled by an "investment company" as defined in the Investment
Company Act;

                  (f) the Issuer is not in violation of its limited liability
company agreement or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument to

materially adverse to it, to the Receivables or to any of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Neither the issuance and sale of the Note, nor the
execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Agreement or any Basic
Document to which it is a party, nor the consummation by the Issuer of any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or by any Basic Document, nor compliance by
the Issuer with the provisions hereof or thereof, does or will conflict with or
result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of the certificate of
formation (or other document of similar import) of the Issuer or conflict with,
result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under,
the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer

of the Issuer is subject, the effect of which conflict, breach, violation,
acceleration or default would be materially adverse to it, the Receivables or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any statute, order or regulation

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

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

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

will have good title to, and will be the sole owner of, each Receivable and the
other property purported to be pledged by it pursuant to the Indenture free and
clear of any Lien and (ii) will not have assigned to any person any of its
right, title or interest in such Receivables or property.

                  (j) no Funding Termination Event, or event which, with the

with a view toward further distribution and that the Note Purchaser has not
engaged in any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
the Securities Act, the offer and sale of the Note in the manner contemplated by
this Agreement is a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act;

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

incorporation or by-laws, respectively, or in default under any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which it is a party, the effect of which violation or
default would be materially adverse to it, to the Receivables or to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the issuance and sale of the Note, nor
the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of this Agreement or any
Basic Document to which it is a party, nor the consummation by the Servicer of
any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any Basic Document, nor
compliance by the Servicer with the provisions hereof or thereof, does or will
conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other document of similar import) of
the Servicer or conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of,
or constitute a default under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which either of them is bound
or to which any of the properties of the Servicer is subject, the effect of

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

                  (c) there are no actions or proceedings against, or
investigations of, the Servicer pending, or, to the knowledge of the Servicer,
threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other
tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Basic Document or
the Note, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Note or the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document,
(iii) that, if determined adversely to the Servicer, could reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the Receivables or the business,

obligations under, this Agreement, any Basic Document or the Note or (iv)
seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Note;

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

                  (e) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related statements
of income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flow as of and for the fiscal
year ending on such date and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Servicer and its consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004, and the related
statements of income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flow as of and for
the quarter ending on such date (including in each case the schedules and notes

authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Note Purchaser with any request or
directive issued on or after the date of this Agreement (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has
made or would be likely to make it unlawful for the Note Purchaser to make or

                                      -16-

time as contemplated hereunder shall be suspended; and (iii) the Note Purchaser

representations and warranties made herein and in the Note delivered pursuant

                  and administration of this Agreement and of each other Basic
                  Document, including schedules and exhibits, and any
                  amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other
                  modifications to this Agreement or any other Basic Document as
                  may from time to time hereafter be proposed, whether or not

         delivery of this Agreement, any Advance hereunder, or the issuance of
         the Note or any other Basic Documents; and (B) hold and save the Note
         Purchaser harmless from all liability for any breach by the Issuer of
         its obligations under this Agreement. The Issuer and Servicer also
         further jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Note Purchaser
         upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket and legal expenses
         incurred by the Note Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of
         any restructuring or "work-out," whether or not consummated, of the
         Basic Documents.

                  (b) INDEMNIFICATION. In consideration of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Note Purchaser, the Issuer and the Servicer,
jointly and severally, hereby indemnify and hold the Note Purchaser and each of
its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES") harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses incurred
in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a
party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought and including,
without limitation, any liability in connection with the offering and sale of
the Note), including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively,
the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of
them (whether in prosecuting or defending against such actions, suits or claims)
as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to:

                  (i) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in
         part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Advance
         including, without limitation, any claim, suit or action related to
         such transaction, which claim is based on a violation of Consumer Laws
         or any applicable vicarious liability statutes, or the use or operation
         of any Financed Vehicle by any Person; or

                  (ii) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and
         any other Basic Document by any of the Indemnified Parties,

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a
particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and, with respect to the Servicer,
excluding any Indemnified Liabilities that would constitute recourse to the
Servicer for loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency (or other credit
condition) of, or default by the related Obligor on any Receivable. If and to
the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Issuer and the Servicer hereby jointly and severally agree to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity set forth
in this SECTION 8.05(b) shall in no event include indemnification for any Taxes
(which indemnification is provided in SECTION 3.05). The Issuer shall give
notice to the Rating Agencies of any claim for Indemnified Liabilities made
under this section. Upon the written request of the Note Purchaser pursuant to
this Section 8.05(b), the Issuer and the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the
Note Purchaser for the amount of any such Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
the Note Purchaser.
