additional  amount or amounts  ("Capital  Adequacy  Charge") as will  compensate
Lender  for  such  reduction,  such  Capital  Adequacy  Demand  to be made  with
reasonable  promptness  following  such  determination.  A certificate of Lender
claiming  entitlement  to payment as set forth above shall be  conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.  Such  certificate  shall set forth the nature of the
occurrence  giving rise to such  reduction,  the amount of the Capital  Adequacy
Charge to be paid to Lender, and the method by which such amount was determined.
In  determining  such  amount,  Lender  may use  any  reasonable  averaging  and
attribution method, applied on a non-discriminatory basis.

     (g) Maximum Rate of Interest.  No provision of this  Agreement or any other
Loan Document  shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess
of the maximum amount  permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in
such respect is hereby  provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided,
in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction,  the
provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither the Borrower nor
the  sureties,  guarantors,  successors,  or  assigns of the  Borrower  shall be
obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid
for the use,  forbearance,  or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto.  In the
event the Lender ever receives,  collects,  or applies as interest any such sum,
such  amount  which  would be in  excess  of the  maximum  amount  permitted  by
applicable  law shall be applied as a payment and  reduction of the principal of
the  indebtedness  evidenced by the Note;  and, if the principal of the Note has
been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower.
In determining  whether or not the interest paid or payable  exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the Borrower and the Lender shall,  to the extent  permitted by applicable
law, (a) characterize any non-principal  payment as an expense,  fee, or premium
rather than as  interest,  (b)  exclude  voluntary  prepayments  and the effects

                                       22
<PAGE>

thereof,  and (c) amortize,  prorate,  allocate,  and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest  throughout the entire  contemplated  term of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note so that interest for the entire term does
not exceed the Maximum Rate.

          Section 2.05 Take-Out Transactions.

     >From time to time (subject to the  provisions of this Section 2.05) on any
Business Day prior to the Final  Scheduled  Payment Date, the Borrower may, upon
not less than three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to the Lender,  sell
and assign to any Person any or all of the  Receivables  and related  Collateral
then owned by the Borrower, or an undivided ownership interest therein,  without
recourse,  representation  or warranty or any indemnity (other than recourse for
breaches of customary representations and warranties),  for a net purchase price
(after deducting all reasonable  expenses incurred by the Borrower in connection
with such  sale) at least  equal to the  product of (i) the  applicable  Advance
Percentage  and  (ii)  the  aggregate  outstanding  Principal  Balance  of  such
Receivables,  plus all accrued  interest  with respect  thereto  (the  "Take-Out
Purchase Price" and, each such transaction, a "Take-Out Transaction"); provided,
that such Take-Out  Transaction shall not cause, or result in the occurrence of,
any Event of Default;  provided  further that Borrower may sell any  Receivables
and related  Collateral  for an amount less than the Take-Out  Purchase Price so
long as Borrower pays down the related Advance by the amount of such deficiency.
The  Borrower  shall  remit the  Take-Out  Purchase  Price by wire  transfer  in
immediately  available funds to the account  specified by the Lender on the date
of the Take-Out Transaction; provided that the Borrower may off-set the Take-Out
Purchase  Price by an amount equal to the  applicable  Reserve  Account  Release
Amount.  If Borrower so off-sets the Take-Out  Purchase  Price,  then Lender may
apply an amount equal to the applicable  Reserve Account Release Amount for such
Take-Out  Transaction  to the  repayment  of  the  applicable  Advances.  On the
Business Day prior to the Take-Out  Transaction,  the Borrower  shall deliver to
the Lender,  the  Servicer and the Insurer a schedule of the  Receivables  to be
sold and  assigned  pursuant to the  Take-Out  Transaction  and the date of each
Advance to which each  Receivable  so sold and assigned  relates.  The principal
amount of each Advance shall be reduced by the principal portion of the Take-Out
Purchase Price applicable to such Advance as indicated on such schedule.

          Section 2.06 Release of Receivables.(a)Partial Release.

     From time to time in connection with a Take-Out Transaction, subject to the
payment of the Take-Out  Purchase Price, the Borrower may request the release of
any or all of the Receivables and related  Collateral then owned by the Borrower
by delivering to the Lender, the Servicer and the Insurer a notice (a "Notice of
Release"),  which Notice of Release shall state that the Borrower plans to enter
into a Take-Out  Transaction and shall identify the Receivables  which are to be
the subject of such Take-Out  Transaction on a schedule  attached to such Notice
of Release.  Concurrently with the consummation of such Take-Out Transaction and
the payment of the Take-Out  Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.05, the
Lender shall  execute and deliver to the  Borrower  such  documents,  if any, as
shall be  necessary  or  appropriate  to release  such  Receivables  and related
Collateral  from the liens and security  interests  evidenced by this Agreement,
which documents  shall be prepared by the Borrower or at the Borrower's  expense
but shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

     (b) Full  Release.  The  Lender's  right,  title and interest in all of the
Receivables  and  related   Collateral  shall  be  released   effective  on  the
Termination Date. Upon such release and at the cost and expense of the Borrower,

                                       23
<PAGE>

the  Lender  hereby  authorizes  the  Servicer  to  prepare  and file such UCC-3
financing  statements  or such other  instruments  (if any) as are  necessary or
desirable to terminate  and remove of record any documents  constituting  public
notice of the  security  interest  granted  under  Article III, and Lender shall
assign and transfer, or cause to be assigned and transferred,  and shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Borrower,  all  property,  including all moneys,
instruments and  securities,  of the Borrower then held by the Lender related to
the Receivables and related Collateral.

     (c)  Effect of  Release.  When the  release of any of the  Receivables  and
related  Collateral is effective in accordance  with  subsection (a) or (b), all
right,  title and interest of the Lender in, to and under such  Receivables  and
related  Collateral  shall  terminate  and  shall  revert to the  Borrower,  its
successors and assigns,  and the right, title and interest of the Lender therein
shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void.

     Section 3.02 Other Security.

     Lender,   in  its  sole  discretion,   without  waiving  or  releasing  any

     Section 4.01 Perfection of Security Interests in Collateral

     .  Borrower  shall at the  Lender's  request,  at any time and from time to
time, execute and deliver to the Lender such financing statements, documents and
other  agreements and  instruments  (and pay the cost of filing or recording the
same in all public offices deemed  necessary or desirable by Lender) and do such
other

                                       25
<PAGE>

acts and things as Lender may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion
in order to establish  and maintain a valid,  attached  and  perfected  security
interest  in the  Collateral  in favor of  Lender  (free  and clear of all other
liens,  claims,  encumbrances  and rights of third parties  whatsoever,  whether
voluntarily  or  involuntarily  created,  other than  subrogation  rights of the
Insurer  under  the  Default   Insurance   Policy)  to  secure  payment  of  the
Obligations,  and in order to facilitate the collection of the Collateral.  With
respect to the Collateral that may be perfected by control,  Borrower shall take
such steps as the Lender may  reasonably  require in order that  Lender may have
such control. Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender
(and all Persons  designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower's  true and
lawful  attorney and  agent-in-fact  to file such  financing  statements,  other
notices,  documents and other  agreements and instruments and do such other acts
and  things as may be  necessary  to  preserve  and  perfect  Lender's  security
interest in the Collateral. Borrower further agrees that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing  statement
shall be sufficient as a financing  statement.  Further, to the extent permitted
by applicable  law,  Lender may file one or more  financing  statements or other
notices  disclosing  Lender's  liens and other  security  interests  under  this
Agreement.

     Section 4.02 Custody of Receivable Files

     . Borrower shall initially maintain  possession of the Receivable Files for
the Receivables  securing each Advance.  If an Advance has not been fully repaid
by the applicable Maturity Date, then upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall
deliver  or cause  to be  delivered  to  Lender  the  Receivable  Files  for the
Receivables  securing such Advance.  Upon its receipt of the  Receivable  Files,
Lender shall maintain continuous  possession and control of the Receivable Files
as custodian and bailee of Borrower until the earlier of (i) the date on which a
Take-Out  Transaction occurs with respect to such Receivables in accordance with
Section 2.05, or (ii) the Termination  Date. Until such time,  Lender shall hold
the Receivable  Files in a secure facility located in the State of California in
accordance with customary  standards for custody by financial  institutions  and
shall  physically  separate  the  Receivable  Files  from all other  instruments
similar in nature to the Receivable  Files in its possession.  Lender shall mark
its books, accounts and records to reflect that the Receivable Files are held by
it as  custodian  and bailee for  Borrower.  Lender shall  maintain  records and
procedures,  in accordance with prudent industry practices,  with respect to the
Receivable  Files  sufficient to create a verifiable audit trail with respect to
any  Receivable  Files that are released from the  possession of the Lender from
time to time in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Lender shall permit
the  Servicer  to access the  Receivable  Files at all  reasonable  times,  upon
reasonable  notice,  during  Lender's  normal business hours and as permitted by
applicable  law.  Lender shall release  Receivable  Files in its possession from
time to time in accordance  with Section 2.06. In addition,  on the  Termination
Date,  Lender shall release the  Receivable  Files then in its possession to the
Borrower or its designee.

     Section 5.01 Establishment of and Deposits to Lock Box Account.

     Borrower shall direct the Contract Obligors to make all payments in respect
of the Receivables directly to a post office box (the "Lock Box") designated by,
and  under  the  exclusive  control  of,  Lender,  at  a  financial  institution
acceptable  to  Lender.  Borrower  shall  establish  an  account  (the "Lock Box

                                       26
<PAGE>

Account") in Lender's name with the Lock Box  Provider,  into which all payments
received  in the Lock Box  shall be  deposited,  and into  which  Borrower  will
immediately  deposit  all  payments  received  by  Borrower  in  respect  of the
Collateral in the identical form in which such payments were  received,  whether
by cash or  check.  The Lock Box  Account  shall  initially  be  maintained  and
processed  by the Lock Box  Provider  pursuant  to the  Lock Box  Agreement.  If
Borrower,  any Affiliate or  Subsidiary,  any  shareholder,  officer,  director,
employee or agent of  Borrower  or any  Affiliate  or  Subsidiary,  or any other
Person acting for or in concert with Borrower shall receive any monies,  checks,
notes,  drafts or other payments  relating to or as proceeds of the  Collateral,
Borrower and each such Person shall  receive all such items in trust for, and as
the sole and  exclusive  property  of,  Lender  and,  immediately  upon  receipt
thereof,  shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the
Lock Box  Account.  If the Lock Box  Provider  is not the  Lender,  the Lock Box
Provider shall acknowledge and agree, in a manner  satisfactory to Lender,  that
the  amounts  on  deposit in such Lock Box  Account  are the sole and  exclusive
property  of Lender and that it (i) has no right to setoff  against the Lock Box
Account or against any other account  maintained by such  financial  institution
into which the  contents of the Lock Box Account are  transferred,  (ii) has not
and will not enter into a control agreement with any third party with respect to
the Lock Box Account, and (iii) shall wire, or otherwise transfer in immediately
available funds to Lender in a manner satisfactory to Lender, funds deposited in
the Lock Box  Account  on a daily  basis as such funds are  collected.  Borrower
agrees that all payments made to such Lock Box Account or otherwise  received by
Lender,  whether in respect of the  Collateral or otherwise,  will be applied on
account  of the  Obligations  in  accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.
Borrower  agrees to pay all fees,  costs and expenses in connection with opening
and  maintaining the Lock Box Account.  All of such fees,  costs and expenses if
not paid by  Borrower,  may be paid by Lender and in such event all amounts paid
by Lender shall constitute Obligations hereunder,  shall be payable to Lender by
Borrower upon demand,  and, until paid,  shall bear interest at the highest rate
then applicable to any Advance hereunder.  All checks,  drafts,  instruments and
other items of payment or proceeds of  Collateral  shall be endorsed by Borrower
to Lender,  and, if that  endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any
reason,  Lender  is  hereby  irrevocably  authorized  to  endorse  the  same  on
Borrower's behalf. For the purpose of this section,  Borrower irrevocably hereby
makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for
that purpose) as Borrower's  true and lawful attorney and  agent-in-fact  (i) to
endorse Borrower's name upon said items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral
and upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice or similar document or
agreement relating to the Collateral;  (ii) to take control in any manner of any
item of payment or proceeds  thereof and (iii) to have access to any lock box or
postal box into which any of Borrower's mail is deposited,  and open and process
all mail addressed to Borrower and deposited therein.

     Section 5.02 Lender's Remedies Upon an Event of Default.

     Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,  in addition to
any other remedies specified herein, Lender may (i) enforce collection of any of
the  Receivables  or other amounts owed to Borrower by suit or  otherwise;  (ii)
exercise  all of  Borrower's  rights and remedies  with  respect to  proceedings
brought to collect any  Receivables  or other  amounts owed to  Borrower;  (iii)
surrender,  release  or  exchange  all or any part of any  Receivables  or other
amounts  owed to  Borrower,  or  compromise  or extend  or renew for any  period
(whether or not longer than the original  period) any  indebtedness  thereunder;
(iv) sell or assign any  Receivables  or other amount owed to Borrower upon such

terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Lender deems advisable;  (v)
prepare,  file and sign  Borrower's  name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or
other similar document against any Contract Obligor or other Person obligated to
Borrower; and (vi) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Lender's
sole and  absolute  discretion,  to fulfill  Borrower's  obligations  under this
Agreement  and the other  Loan  Documents  and to allow  Lender to  collect  the
Receivables  or  other  amounts  owed to  Borrower.  In  addition  to any  other
provision  hereof,  Lender may at any time,  after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at Borrower's  expense,  notify any Contract
Obligors to make payment  directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due
under the Receivables.

     Section 5.03 Investment of Funds in Lock Box Account.

     Funds on deposit in the Lock Box  Account  shall be  invested  by Lender in

instructions or otherwise) that will mature so that such funds will be available
at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following
Payment  Date.  Funds  deposited in the Lock Box Account on the day  immediately
preceding a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible  Investments  are not

     Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account from time to time shall be invested
by Lender in Eligible  Investments  selected in writing by Borrower (pursuant to
standing  instructions or otherwise) that will mature so that such funds will be
available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
following  Payment  Date.  Funds  deposited  in the  Reserve  Account on the day
immediately  preceding  a  Payment  Date  upon  the  maturity  of  any  Eligible
Investments are not required to be invested overnight.  All Eligible Investments

provision  of a Receivable  has been waived,  altered or modified in any respect
since its origination.

          (i) No  Defenses.  No right of  rescission,  setoff,  counterclaim  or
defense exists or has been asserted or threatened  with respect to a Receivable.

counterclaim, or defense.

          (j) No Liens. As of the related Cutoff Date, (a) there are no liens or
claims existing or which have been filed for work,  labor,  storage or materials

foregoing (except in a manner consistent with the Servicer's stated policies and

          (l)  Insurance;  Other.  (A) Each  Contract  Obligor  has  obtained an
insurance  policy  covering  the  related  Financed  Vehicle  as of the  date of
execution of the related Contract  insuring against loss and damage due to fire,
theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by automobile
comprehensive and collision coverage and AFCO and its successors and assigns are

<PAGE>

          (m) All Filings Made. All filings (including,  without limitation, UCC
filings or other actions)  necessary in any  jurisdiction to give Lender a first
priority  perfected security interest in the Collateral have been made, taken or
performed.

          (n)  Receivable  File;  One  Original.  Borrower has  delivered to the
Servicer a complete  Receivable File with respect to each  Receivable.  There is
only one original  executed copy of each  Receivable.  (o) Chattel  Paper.  Each
Receivable constitutes "chattel paper" under the UCC.

          (p) Title  Documents.  (A) If the Receivable was originated in a State
in which  notation of a security  interest on the title  document of the related
Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to perfect such security interest, the
title document of the related Financed Vehicle for such Receivable  shows, or if
a new or  replacement  title  document is being applied for with respect to such
Financed  Vehicle the title  document  (or other  appropriate  evidence of title
issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority) will
be received  within 180 days and will show,  AFCO named as the original  secured
party under the Receivable as the holder of a first priority  security  interest
in such Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the Receivable was originated in a State in
which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a
security  interest in motor vehicles,  such filings or recordings have been duly
made and show AFCO named as the original secured party under the Receivable, and
in either case,  upon the  assignment  of such  security  interest  from AFCO to
Borrower and from Borrower to Lender,  Lender shall have the same rights as such
secured  party has or would have (if such secured  party were still the owner of
the  Receivable)  against  all parties  claiming  an  interest in such  Financed
Vehicle.  With respect to each  Receivable  for which the title document has not
yet been returned from the  Registrar of Titles,  Borrower has received  written
evidence from the related Dealer that such title document  showing AFCO as first
lienholder has been applied for.

          (q) Valid and Binding Obligation of Contract Obligor.  Each Receivable
is the legal,  valid and binding  obligation in writing of the related  Contract
Obligor and is enforceable  against the related  Contract  Obligor in accordance
with its terms,  except only as such  enforcement  may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency  or similar laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of  creditors'  rights
generally,  and all parties to such contract had full legal  capacity to execute
and deliver such contract and all other  documents  related thereto and to grant
the security  interest  purported to be granted thereby.  Each Receivable is not
subject to any right of set-off by the related Contract Obligor.

          (r)  Characteristics  of  Contract  Obligors.  As of the  date of each
Contract  Obligor's  application for the loan from which the Receivable  arises,
such Contract Obligor (a) did not have any material past due credit  obligations
or any personal or real property  repossessed or wages garnished within one year
prior to the date of such  application,  unless such amounts have been repaid or
discharged through bankruptcy,  (b) was not the subject of any Federal, State or
other  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or  similar  proceeding  pending  on the date of
application  that is not  discharged,  (c) had not been the subject of more than
one Federal, State or other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding and (d)
was domiciled in the United States.

          (s) Lock Box. On or prior to the next billing period after the related
Cutoff Date,  Borrower will notify (or will cause to be notified)  each Contract
Obligor to make payments with respect to its respective  Receivables  after such
Cutoff Date  directly to the Lock Box, and will provide  each  Contract  Obligor
with a  monthly  statement  in order to enable  such  Contract  Obligor  to make
payments directly to the Lock Box.

          (t) Casualty. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, no Financed Vehicle
financed under a Receivable has suffered a Casualty.

          (u) Receivables  Not Assumable.  No Receivable is assumable by another
Person in a manner which would  release the related  Contract  Obligor from such
Contract Obligor's obligations to Borrower with respect to such Receivable.

          (v)  Servicing.  The servicing of each  Receivable  and the collection
practices  relating  thereto have been lawful and in  accordance  with usual and
customary industry the standards;  and, other than the Servicer, no other person
has the right to service the Receivable.

          (w) Creation of Security Interest.  This Agreement creates a valid and
continuing  security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Collateral in favor
of  Lender,  which  security  interest  is  prior  to  all  other  Liens  and is
enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower.

          (x) Perfection of Security Interest in Collateral. Borrower has caused
the filing of all appropriate  financing  statements in the proper filing office
in the appropriate  jurisdictions  under  applicable law in order to perfect the
security  interest in the Collateral  granted to Lender pursuant to Section 3.01
hereunder.

          (y) No Other  Security  Interests.  Other than the  security  interest
granted to Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 hereunder,  Borrower has not pledged,
assigned,  sold, or granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of
the Collateral,  other than such Security Interests as are released on or before
the Closing Date.  Borrower has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of
any financing  statements  filed against  Borrower that include a description of
any portion of the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the
Security  Interest  granted to Lender  hereunder or that has been  terminated or
released as to the  Collateral on or prior to the Closing Date.  Borrower is not
aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Borrower.

Borrower  hereunder,  may  (but  shall be under no  obligation  to)  obtain  and
maintain such Default Insurance Policy and pay such premiums and take such other
actions with respect  thereto as Lender deems  advisable.  All sums disbursed by

Borrower's  financial  statements;  (ii) the contesting of any such payment does
not give rise to a lien for Taxes;  (iii)  Borrower keeps on deposit with Lender
(such deposit to be held without interest) an amount of money which, in the sole
judgment  of  Lender,  is  sufficient  to pay such  Taxes  and any  interest  or
penalties that may accrue thereon;  and (iv) if Borrower fails to prosecute such
contest  within 90 days,  Lender may apply the money so  deposited in payment of
such Taxes.  If  Borrower  fails to pay any such Taxes and in the absence of any
such  contest by  Borrower,  Lender may (but  shall be under no  obligation  to)
advance  and pay any sums  required  to pay any such Taxes  and/or to secure the
release  of any  lien  therefor,  and  any  sums so  advanced  by  Lender  shall
constitute Advances hereunder, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand,

Advance hereunder.

Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  Lender may exercise  from time to

applicable  law in  addition  to, and not in lieu of,  any  rights and  remedies
expressly  granted in this  Agreement or in any of the other Loan  Documents and
all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the
extent  permitted by law. In  particular,  but not by way of  limitation  of the

days before such  disposition.  Any proceeds of any disposition by Lender of any
of the  Collateral  may be  applied  by Lender to the  payment  of  expenses  in
connection with the Collateral,  including,  without limitation,  legal expenses
