("CapMAC") as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, Finco purchases certain

        WHEREAS, Finco from time to time requests that Triple-A One make

Contracts from the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement;

        WHEREAS, as collateral security for its obligations under this Triple-A
One Credit Agreement, Finco has collaterally assigned the Purchased Contracts,
its rights under the Sale Agreement, all of its right, title, interest in and to
the Lock-Boxes and the Collection Account to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the holders of the Obligations pursuant to the Triple-A One Security

        WHEREAS, Triple-A One funds such loans by (a) the issuance of Commercial

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged the parties hereto agree as
follows:

                             SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

               1.1. Defined Terms. (a) As used in this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement, the Triple-A One Note, the Triple-A One Security Agreement or
        any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or
        thereto, the capitalized terms used herein and therein shall, unless
        otherwise defined herein or therein, have the meanings assigned to them
        in the Second Amended and Restated Definitions List dated as of the date
        hereof that refers to this Triple-A One Credit Agreement, which is
        incorporated herein by reference and attached as Exhibit A hereto (the
        "Definitions List").

               (a) As used herein, in the Triple-A One Note and in the Triple-A
        One Security Agreement, or any certificate or other document made or
        delivered pursuant hereto and thereto, accounting terms not defined in
        the Definitions List and accounting terms partly defined in the
        Definitions List to the extent not defined, shall have the respective
        meanings given to them under GAAP.

               (b) The words "hereof", "herein" and "hereunder" and words of
        similar import when used in this Triple-A One Credit Agreement shall
        refer to this Triple-A One Credit Agreement as a whole and not to any
        particular provision of this Triple-A One Credit Agreement, and Section,
        subsection, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Triple-A One
        Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

               (c) Capitalized terms used herein, in the Triple-A One Note and
        in the Triple-A One Security Agreement shall be equally applicable to
        both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

        SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TRIPLE-A ONE COMMITMENT

               2.1. Triple-A One Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions
        hereof, Triple-A One agrees to make revolving credit loans ("Triple-A
        One Loans") to Finco from time to time during the Commitment Period in
        an aggregate amount not to exceed the Triple-A One Commitment; provided,
        however, that in no event shall Triple-A One make any Triple-A One Loan,
        if, after giving effect to such Triple-A One Loan, either (a) the
        Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Maximum Program Amount or
        the Aggregate Liquidity Commitment (as defined in the Liquidity
        Agreement) or (b) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist; provided,
        further, that the amount of any Triple-A One Loan made on any Triple-A
        One Borrowing Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the net proceeds from
        the sale of Transaction Commercial Paper on such Triple-A One Borrowing
        Date plus (ii) the proceeds of Loans on such Triple-A One Borrowing
        Date. The proceeds of such Triple-A One Loans shall be disbursed to the
        Disbursement Sub-

                                       2
<PAGE>

        Account pursuant to Section 4.2 and released from the Disbursement
        Sub-Account pursuant to Section 4.3. During the Commitment Period, Finco
        may use the Triple-A One Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Triple-A
        One Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with
        the terms and conditions hereof.

                      2.2. Triple-A One Note. The Triple-A One Loans shall be
        evidenced by a promissory note of Finco, substantially in the form of
        Exhibit B hereto (the "Triple-A One Note"), payable to the order of
        Triple-A One. The Program Manager shall record the date and amount of
        each Triple-A One Loan made and the date and amount of each payment of
        principal thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie
        evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The Triple-A
        One Note shall (a) be dated the date of issuance thereof, or, with
        respect to any amendment thereof, the date of such amendment, (b) be
        stated to mature on the Scheduled Maturity Date and (c) provide for the
        payment of interest in accordance with subsection 2.5.

                      2.3. Availability of Borrowings. Finco may request
        Triple-A One Loans on any Business Day during the Commitment Period by
        giving Triple-A One prior irrevocable notice of each borrowing in the
        form of Exhibit C hereto ("Notice of Borrowing") by 10:00 A.M. (New York
        City time) on the Business Day prior to a Triple-A One Borrowing Date
        which shall specify the (a) Triple-A One Borrowing Date for such
        borrowing and (b) the amount of the Triple-A One Loan requested;
        provided, however, that any Triple-A One Loan funded with Eurodollar
        Loans shall require three Working Days prior notice. The proceeds of
        such Triple-A One Loans will be made available to Finco by Triple-A One
        by crediting a sub-account (the "Disbursement Sub-Account") of the
        Collection Account with immediately available funds by 10:00 A.M. (New
        York time) on the Triple-A One Borrowing Date.

                      2.4. Mandatory and Optional Prepayments.

               (a) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Finco shall, on
        each Business Day (each a "Triple-A One Payment Date") on which the
        Program Manager notifies Finco that amounts are owing hereunder, repay
        the principal of the Triple-A One Loans in the amount stated by the
        Program Manager to be due and payable on such Triple-A One Payment Date.
        The Program Manager shall give Finco notice of the amount payable by
        10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately
        preceding each Triple-A One Payment Date. Finco shall make the payment
        required by such notice by 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
        applicable Triple-A One Payment Date by depositing such amount in the
        Collection Account in immediately available funds. The amount payable by
        Finco as determined by the Program Manager shall be an amount equal to
        the sum of (i) the Principal Portion of the Transaction Commercial Paper
        maturing on the applicable Triple-A One Payment Date that will not be
        funded from the net proceeds of either the sale of Commercial Paper on
        such date or a borrowing under the Liquidity Agreement (assuming that
        such proceeds are allocated to the Principal Portion of the Commercial
        Paper before the interest relating to such Commercial Paper), (ii) the
        principal amount due and payable on such date under the Liquidity
        Agreement and not funded from the net proceeds from the sale of
        Commercial Paper on such date or a

                                       3
<PAGE>

        borrowing under the Liquidity Agreement, and (iii) the amount necessary
        to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency existing on such date or that
        would exist at the close of business on such date (after giving effect
        to the amount of any payment made on such day in respect of subclauses
        (i) or (ii) of this subsection 2.4(a)). On and after the Commitment
        Termination Date, principal on the Triple-A One Loans shall be paid as
        provided in the Triple-A One Security Agreement.

               (b) Finco may at any time and from time to time prepay the
        Triple-A One Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty,
        upon at least three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Program
        Manager, specifying the date and amount of prepayment; provided that,
        upon notice given by Triple-A One, Finco shall indemnify Triple-A One
        and hold Triple-A One harmless from any funding loss (in an amount equal
        to the amount of interest Triple-A One would have received but for such
        prepayment less the interest earned on investing such funds) and expense
        which Triple-A One may sustain or incur as a consequence of such
        prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such
        notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

               (c) On each Liquidation Day Finco shall prepay all amounts
        outstanding under the Triple-A One Note and this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
        available on each such day and in the order set forth in subsection 5(b)
        of the Triple-A One Security Agreement.

               2.5. Interest. Finco shall pay to Triple-A One, pursuant to the
        terms and conditions of the Triple-A One Security Agreement, as interest
        on the Triple-A One Loans outstanding, the following amounts on the
        following dates (each a "Triple-A One Interest Payment Date"):

                      (i)    on each day that Commercial Paper matures, an
                             amount equal to the imputed interest on such
                             maturing Commercial Paper;

                      (ii)   on each Determination Date, interest due and
                             accrued on Loans which were outstanding at any time
                             during the prior Determination Period and not
                             prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.7 of the Liquidity
                             Agreement; and

                      (iii)  on each day that any interest is required to be
                             paid in respect of the prepayment, pursuant to
                             subsection 2.7 of the Liquidity Agreement, of any
                             Loan, an amount equal to such interest.

                      2.6. Proceeds. The proceeds of the Triple-A One Loans
        shall be used by Finco solely to purchase Contracts from the Seller
        pursuant to the Sale Agreement.

                      2.7. Collection Account. Finco has established, on or
        prior to the date hereof, a bank account (No. 4154359090) at Wells Fargo
        Bank in the name of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders
        of the Obligations (the "Collection

                                       4
<PAGE>

        Account"). Finco shall cause the Servicer to deposit all Collections to
        the Clearing Account on the next Business Day after Collections are
        received in the Lock-Boxes and on the next Business Day after
        Collections are received in any other manner, and to transfer all
        Collections on deposit in the Clearing Account to the Collection Account
        on the next Business Day after such Collections are received by the
        Servicer in the Clearing Account. Finco shall make transfers and
        withdrawals from the Collection Account solely as permitted by the terms
        and conditions of the Triple-A One Security Agreement.

                      2.8. Reduction of Triple-A One Commitment. Finco shall
        have the right from time to time, upon not less than five Business Days'
        notice to Triple-A One and the Program Manager, to reduce the Triple-A
        One Commitment to an amount not less than the sum of (a) the Face Amount
        of the Outstanding Commercial Paper and (b) the aggregate principal
        amount of the Loans outstanding; provided, however, that in no event
        shall the Triple-A One Commitment be reduced to less than $50,000,000.
        Each such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or any
        multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Triple-A One
        Commitment then in effect.

                      2.9. Taxes. Except to the extent required by applicable
        law, all payments made by Finco under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement
        and the Triple-A One Note shall be made free and clear of, and without
        deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
        income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
        deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
        withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority having taxing
        authority, excluding income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu
        of income taxes) imposed on Triple-A One, as a result of any present or
        former connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing
        authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
        authority thereof or therein and Triple-A One (excluding a connection
        arising solely from Triple-A One having executed, delivered or performed
        its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Triple-A
        One Credit Agreement or the Triple-A One Note) (all such non-excluded
        taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and
        withholdings being hereinafter called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are
        required to be withheld from any amounts payable hereunder or under the
        Triple-A One Note, the amounts so payable to Triple-A One shall be
        increased to the extent necessary to yield to Triple-A One (after
        payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
        hereunder or under the Triple-A One Note at the rates or in the amounts
        specified in this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the Triple-A One
        Note. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Finco, as promptly as possible
        thereafter Finco shall send to Triple-A One, a certified copy of an
        original official receipt received by Finco showing payment thereof. If
        Finco fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
        authority or fails to remit to Triple-A One the required receipts or
        other required documentary evidence, Finco shall indemnify Triple-A One
        for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that Triple-A One is
        legally required to pay as a result of any such failure. Triple-A One
        agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with Triple-A
        One's internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long
        as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its
        good faith discretion) to designate a different lending office if the
        making of such designation would reduce or obviate the need for Finco to
        withhold

                                       5
<PAGE>

        Taxes. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination
        of this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the payment of the Triple-A
        One Note.

                    SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                      3.1. Representations and Warranties of Finco. To induce
        Triple-A One to enter into this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and to
        make the Triple-A One Loans, Finco hereby represents and warrants to
        Triple-A One that:

               (a) Financial Condition. The balance sheet of Finco as at
        September 30, 2001 and the related statements of income and of cash
        flows for the nine month period then ended, certified by a Responsible
        Officer, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial
        condition of Finco as at such date, and the results of its operations
        and its consolidated cash flows for the period then ended. All such
        financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto,
        have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for year-end
        adjustments) applied consistently throughout the period involved (except
        as approved by such Responsible Officer and as disclosed therein).
        Except for Debt created under this Agreement and the other Operative
        Documents, Finco does not have, and at the date of the balance sheet
        referred to above, did not have any Debt, contingent liability or
        liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or
        long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate
        or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction; provided, however,
        that Finco may have Debt or contingent liability pursuant to the
        obligations of Finco under a securitization transaction insured or
        approved by the Surety Provider.

               (b) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Finco (i) is duly
        organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
        State of Delaware, (ii) has the corporate power and authority, and the
        legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it
        operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently
        engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good
        standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease
        or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such
        qualification and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law.

               (c) Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.
        Finco has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to
        make, deliver and perform this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the
        other Operative Documents to which it is a party and to borrow hereunder
        and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the borrowings
        on the terms and conditions of this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and
        the other Operative Documents to which it is a party and to authorize
        the execution, delivery and performance of this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party. All
        consents or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect
        of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person required to be
        obtained, made or given by it in connection with the borrowings
        hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
        enforceability of this Triple-A One Credit Agreement or the other
        Operative Documents to which it is a party have been so obtained,

                                       6
<PAGE>

        made or received. This Triple-A One Credit Agreement and each other
        Operative Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and
        delivered on behalf of Finco. This Triple-A One Credit Agreement and
        each other Operative Document to which it is a party constitutes a
        legal, valid and binding obligation of Finco enforceable against Finco
        in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
        applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
        laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
        general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
        proceedings in equity or at law).

               (d) No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the other Operative Documents, the
        borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not
        violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Finco and
        will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien
        on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of
        Law or Contractual Obligation.

               (e) No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or
        proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is
        pending or, to the best knowledge of Finco after due inquiry, threatened
        by or against Finco or against any of its properties or revenues (i)
        with respect to this Triple-A One Credit Agreement or the other
        Operative Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
        thereby, or (ii) which could have a material adverse effect on the
        business, properties, assets, operations or condition, financial or
        otherwise, of Finco, or the ability of Finco to perform its obligations
        hereunder or under the other Operative Documents.

               (f) No Default; No Wind-Down Event. Finco is not in default under
        or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect
        which could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations,
        properties, assets, or condition, financial or otherwise, of Finco, or
        on the ability of Finco to perform its obligations hereunder or under
        the other Operative Documents. No Wind-Down Event or Unmatured Wind-Down
        Event has occurred and is continuing.

               (g) No Burdensome Restrictions. Finco is not a party to or
        subject to any Contractual Obligation (other than the Operative
        Documents) which could have a material adverse effect on the business,
        properties, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of
        Finco, or on the ability of Finco to carry out its obligations hereunder
        or under the other Operative Documents.

               (h) Taxes. Finco has filed or caused to be filed all Federal,
        state and other tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has
        paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
        Federal, state and other tax assessments made against it or any of its
        property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any
        of its property by any Governmental Authority having taxing power; no
        tax Lien has been filed against it (except for tax Liens described in
        subsection 6.2(a) hereof), and no claim is being asserted by any
        Governmental Authority, with respect to any such tax, fee or other
        charge.

               (i) ERISA.

                      (i) No Plan is or has been a Multiemployer Plan. Except
        for the Seller, neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate of Finco has
        maintained any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA. No Reportable
        Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
        which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any
        Plan of the Seller, and each such Plan has complied in all material
        respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; provided,
        that any non-compliance by the Plan with the applicable provisions of
        ERISA or the Code that is reasonably likely to, in MBIA's sole
        discretion, subject Finco to any tax, penalty or other liability, shall
        be deemed material non-compliance. The present value of all accrued
        benefits under each such Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund
        the Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the
        date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the
        value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits.

                      (ii) If required to be filed, Schedule B (Actuarial
        Information) to each most recent annual report (Form 5500 Series) has
        been filed for each applicable Plan with the IRS and copies of such
        Schedule have been furnished to the Program Manager and Finco. Each such
        Schedule is complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly
        presents the funding status of such applicable Plan.

                      (iii) Each Plan which is intended to be qualified under
        Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and each trust related to
        any such Plan has been determined to be exempt from federal income tax
        under Section 501(a) of the Code, and neither Finco nor any ERISA
        Affiliate has materially breached any of the responsibilities,
        obligations or duties imposed on it by ERISA, the Code or regulations
        promulgated thereunder with respect to any Plan; provided, that any
        breach of any of the responsibilities, obligations or duties imposed on
        Finco or an ERISA Affiliate by ERISA, the Code or regulations
        promulgated thereunder with respect to any Plan, which breach is
        reasonably likely to, in MBIA's sole discretion, subject Finco to any
        tax, penalty or other liability, shall be deemed a material breach.

                      (iv) Neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or
        contributes to any "employee welfare benefit plan" within the meaning of
        Section 3(1) of ERISA which provides benefits to employees after
        termination of employment other than as required by Section 601 of
        ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code, or any substantially similar state or
        local law.

                      (v) No Plan has incurred any accumulated funding
        deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and 412(a) of the Code),
        whether or not waived.

                      (vi) Neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any
        fiduciary of any Plan (i) has engaged in a nonexempt prohibited
        transaction described in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code or
        (ii) has taken or failed to take any action which would constitute or
        result in an ERISA Termination Event.

                                       8
<PAGE>

                      (vii) Neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred,
        and no condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with
        respect to any Plan that could result in, any withdrawal liability under
        Section 4201 of ERISA that remains unpaid or liability to the PBGC which
        remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no
        such premium payments which have become due which are unpaid.

                      (viii) Neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i)
        failed to make a required contribution or payment to a Plan, (ii) made a
        complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiple Employer Plan or a
        Multiemployer Plan or (iii) failed to make a required installment or any
        other required payment under Section 412 of the Code on or before the
        due date for such installment or other payment.

                      (ix) Neither Finco nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to
        provide security to a Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a
        Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liabilities for
        the plan year.

               (j) Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Finco is not an
        "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment
        company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
        amended. Finco is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State
        statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur Debt.

               (k) Subsidiaries. Finco has no Subsidiaries. Finco is a wholly
        owned subsidiary of the Seller.

               (l) Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Triple-A One Loans
        shall be used by Finco solely as contemplated in Section 2.6.

               (m) No Deduction. Finco is not required to make any deduction or
        withholding from payments to be made by it to Triple-A One under this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement or the other Operative Documents, and the
        execution and performance of this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and any
        of the other Operative Documents does not make Finco liable for any
        registration tax, stamp duty or similar tax or duty imposed by any
        authority of or within its jurisdiction of incorporation, which tax or
        duty has not been, or will not be, paid when due.

               (n) No Priority Claims. Finco has no liability in respect of any
        Debt (other than under the Operative Documents), or in respect of any
        guarantee by Finco of the obligations of another.

               (o) Title; Liens. Except for the Lien granted to the Collateral
        Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations pursuant to the
        Triple-A One Security Agreement and the other Liens permitted pursuant
        to the Operative Documents and the Lien granted to the Seller pursuant
        to the Subordinated Security Agreement, Finco owns each item of the
        Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No
        security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with
        respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in
        any public office, except such as may have

                                       9
<PAGE>

        been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Triple-A One
        Security Agreement and in favor of the Seller pursuant to the
        Subordinated Security Agreement and Liens with respect to taxes
        described in subsection 6.2(a) hereof.

               (p) Ownership of Contracts. Each Purchase by Finco of Contracts
        constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts to
        Finco enforceable against creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller,
        and creates in favor of Finco a perfected ownership interest in and
        valid, legal and equitable title to such Contracts, which ownership
        interest is not subject to any Lien.

               (q) No Petition. There is no intent to file a voluntary petition
        under the Federal or any state bankruptcy laws with respect to Finco.

               (r) Separate Corporate Existence. Finco is a special purpose
        corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its certificate
        of incorporation to purchasing Contracts from the Seller, entering into
        agreements for the servicing thereof, borrowing funds secured thereby
        and conducting such other activities as necessary or appropriate to
        carry out its primary activities. Finco's certificate of incorporation
        provides for at least two Independent Directors as set forth at Section
        5.11 hereof, and requires, inter alia, the unanimous vote of its Board
        of Directors to take corporate action to institute, file or consent to
        insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

        SECTION 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

                      4.1. Conditions to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of

        "independent trustee" or in a similar capacity for any "special purpose
        entity" formed by Onyx or any of its Affiliates. In the event of the

        electronic form, any and all data and other information necessary or
        required in the calculation of the Borrowing Base, Net Yield and Finco
        Expenses and all calculations necessary or required to perform such
        calculation. Finco hereby agrees to provide (or cause the Servicer to
        provide) all such information on or before each date, without prior
        request by Triple-A One or the Program Manager, such information or data
        is required to make any such calculation and to provide (or cause the
        Servicer to provide) such information and data in such form as may be
        immediately used by Triple-A One and the Program Manager without further
        interpretation or purchase or license of any software. Finco does hereby
        further agree that if it fails to provide (or cause the Servicer to
        provide) any such information or data as required in this subsection
        5.13, Triple-A One or the Program Manager may use any estimate of any

        Program Manager. Upon the execution of each Interest Rate Hedge
        Mechanism, Finco shall deliver executed copies of such Interest Rate
        Hedge Mechanism to the Collateral Agent, the Surety Provider and the
        Program Manager.

                      5.15. Contract Files. Cause the Servicer (as Custodian for
        the Collateral Agent on behalf of the holders of the Obligations) or its
        agent to maintain continuous custody of the Files in secure, segregated
        fireproof facilities in accordance with the customary standards for such
        custody as certified by the Servicer to the Program Manager and the
        Collateral Agent; provided, however, that so long as MBIA is the Surety
        Provider with respect to this Program and all other warehouse financing
        facilities and other financings secured by Contracts entered into by
        Finco and any other special purpose

                                       18

        will not be diverted to any other Person or for other than its own
        corporate uses, nor will such funds be commingled with the funds of any
        Affiliate (other than funds deposited to the Clearing Account or the
        Lock-Box, which funds may be commingled for a period not exceeding two
        (2) Business Days);

               (b) to the extent that it shares the same officers or other
        employees as any of its Affiliates, the salaries of and the expenses
        related to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall
        be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear
        its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with all such
        common officers and employees;

        commercial paper in violation of the Issuing and Paying Agreement; or

               (c) such directions do not provide the best execution (including,
        without limitation, the discount applicable to, or the maturity of, the
        Commercial Paper directed to be sold) of the Commercial Paper to be
        sold, as determined by the Program Manager in its sole discretion; or

        Agreement below the Triple-A One Commitments then in effect and, (ii) in

        to use its best efforts to sell Commercial Paper so long as either (A)
        each of the Banks has a short-term debt rating equal to A-1 and P-1 or
        (B) if any Bank has a lower short-term debt rating, the sale of
        Commercial Paper will not cause Triple-A One's short-term rating by
        Moody's or S&P to fall below A-1 and P-1. Except as set forth in clause
        (B), the parties hereto agree that if any Bank's short-term debt rating
        falls below A-1 and P-1, neither the Program Manager, Triple-A One, nor

        conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been

        experts selected by the Program Manager.

        Agreement, the Triple-A One Note and the other Operative Documents and
        any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and
        the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
        including, without limitation, any and all collateral audit fees, the
        reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Triple-A One, the
        Program Manager, the Surety Provider and the Collateral Agent, (b) pay
        or reimburse Triple-A One, the Program Manager, the Surety Provider and

        connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement, the Triple-A One Note, the other

        of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any

        (d) pay, indemnify, and hold Triple-A One, the Program Manager, the
        Surety Provider and the Collateral Agent harmless from and against any
        and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
        actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
        or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
        enforcement, performance and administration of this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement, the Triple-A One Note and the other Operative Documents, (all
        the foregoing, collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"), provided
        that Finco has no obligation hereunder to the Program Manager, the
        Collateral Agent, the Surety Provider or Triple-A One with respect to
        indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
        misconduct of the Program Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Surety
        Provider or Triple-A One. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Triple-A One
        enters into agreements with one or more other borrowers ("Other
        Borrowers"),

                                       28
<PAGE>

        Triple-A One shall allocate such indemnified liabilities which are
        attributable to Finco and to the Other Borrowers to Finco and to each
        Other Borrower; provided, however, that if such indemnified liabilities
        are attributable to Finco and not attributable to any Other Borrower,
        Finco shall be solely liable for such indemnified liabilities or if such
        indemnified liabilities are attributable to Other Borrowers and not
        attributable to Finco, such Other Borrowers shall be solely liable for
        such indemnified liabilities. The agreements in this subsection shall
        survive repayment of the Triple-A One Note and all other amounts payable
        hereunder.

                      10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

               (a) This Triple-A One Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and
        inure to the benefit of Finco, Triple-A One, the Program Manager, the
        Surety Provider (as a third party beneficiary) and the Collateral Agent
        and all future holders of the Triple-A One Note and their respective
        successors and assigns, except that Finco may not assign or transfer any
        of its rights or obligations under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement
        and Triple-A One may not assign or transfer any of its rights or
        obligations under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement without the prior
        consent of Finco, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.

               (b) Triple-A One may, in accordance with applicable law, at any
        time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants")
        participating interests in any Triple-A One Loan owing to it, the
        Triple-A One Note, the Triple-A One Commitment or any other interest of
        Triple-A One hereunder and under the other Operative Documents. In the
        event of any such sale by Triple-A One of participating interests to a
        Participant, Triple-A One's obligations under this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement to the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged, Triple-A
        One shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof,
        Triple-A One shall remain the holder of the Triple-A One Note for all
        purposes under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the other
        Operative Documents, and Finco shall continue to deal solely and
        directly with Triple-A One in connection with Triple-A One's rights and
        obligations under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the other
        Operative Documents. Finco agrees that if amounts outstanding under this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement and the Triple-A One Note are due and
        unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable
        upon the occurrence of the Wind-Down Date, each Participant shall be
        deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating
        interest in amounts owing under this Triple-A One Credit Agreement and
        the Triple-A One Note to the same extent as if the amount of its
        participating interest were owing directly to it under this Triple-A One
        Credit Agreement or the Triple-A One Note. Finco also agrees that each
        Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.9 and 10.5
        with respect to its participation in the Triple-A One Commitment and the
        Triple-A One Loans outstanding from time to time; provided, that no
        Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to
        such subsections than Triple-A One would have been entitled to receive
        in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by Triple-A
        One to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

                                       29
<PAGE>

               (c) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.17, Finco
        authorizes Triple-A One to disclose to any Participant and any
        prospective Participant any and all financial information in its
        possession concerning the Seller, Finco and their Affiliates which has
        been delivered to it by or on behalf of such Person pursuant to this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement or which has been delivered to it by or on
        behalf of such Person in connection with its credit evaluation of the
        Seller, Finco and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement. Each Participant shall agree in writing
        that it shall be bound by the provisions applicable to the Program
        Manager set forth in Section 10.17.

               (d) If, pursuant to this subsection 10.6, any interest in this
        Triple-A One Credit Agreement or the Triple-A One Note is transferred or
        assigned to any Participant or assignee which is organized under the
        laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state
        thereof or the District of Columbia, Triple-A One shall cause such
        Participant or assignee, as a condition to the effectiveness of such
        transfer, (i) to represent to Triple-A One and Finco that under
        applicable law and treaties then in effect no taxes will be required to
        be withheld by Finco or Triple-A One with respect to any payments to be
        made to such Participant or assignee in respect of the Triple-A One
        Loans, (ii) to furnish to Finco and Triple-A One two copies of either
        IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) or IRS Form W-8BEN (or any
        successor form) (wherein such Participant or assignee claims entitlement
        to complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all
        interest payments hereunder) and IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form)
        (wherein such Participant or assignee claims an exemption from United
        States backup withholding tax) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of
        Triple-A One and Finco) timely to provide Triple-A One and Finco two
        copies of a new IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) or IRS Form
        W-8BEN (or any successor form) and a new IRS Form W-9 upon the
        expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and
        comparable statements in accordance with and if permitted under
        applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect duly
        executed and completed by such Participant or assignee, and to comply
        from time to time with all applicable United States laws and regulations
        with regard to such withholding tax exemption, unless, in any such case,
        an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
        regulation) has occurred after the date hereof and prior to the date on
        which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
        such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Participant or
        assignee from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect
        to it, and such Participant or assignee so advises Finco and Triple-A
        One. Each such Participant or assignee so organized shall certify (i) in
        the case of an IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, that it is entitled to
        receive payments under this Agreement and the Triple-A One Note without
        deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and
        (ii) in the case of an IRS Form W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption
        from United States backup withholding tax.

               (e) Triple-A One shall not grant to any Participant the right to
        consent to any amendment or waiver entered into in accordance with
        subsection 10.1 except for any such amendment or waiver which would
        increase the Triple-A One Commitment, or reduce

                                       30
<PAGE>

        the amount or extend the due date of any principal of or interest on the
        Triple-A One Note.

                      10.7. Termination. This Triple-A One Credit Agreement
        shall terminate following the Commitment Termination Date upon payment
        in full of all outstanding obligations, including, without limitation,
        principal, interest and other amounts due hereunder and under the
        Operative Documents which are payable on such date.

                      10.8. Counterparts. This Triple-A One Credit Agreement may
        be executed by one or more of the parties to this Triple-A One Credit
        Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said
        counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
        same instrument.

                      10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Triple-A One
        Credit Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
        jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
        extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
        remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
        unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
        unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                      10.10. Integration. This Triple-A One Credit Agreement
        represents the agreement of Finco, Triple-A One, the Program Manager and
        the Collateral Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
        there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
        Triple-A One, the Program Manager or the Collateral Agent relative to
        the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein
        or in the other Operative Documents.

                      10.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS TRIPLE-A ONE CREDIT AGREEMENT
        AND THE TRIPLE-A ONE NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
        UNDER THIS TRIPLE-A ONE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE TRIPLE-A ONE NOTE SHALL
        BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
        LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
        PRINCIPLES WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER

                    ____ (as amended, the "Hedge Agreement"), between [Name of
                    Hedge Counterparty] (the "Counterparty") and Onyx Acceptance
                    Financial Corporation ("Company")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               Company hereby notifies you that Company has assigned to Capital
Markets Assurance Corporation, as Collateral Agent (the "Collateral Agent"),
under the Financing Agreement identified below, all of its right, title and
interest in and to any interest rate hedge (each, a "Hedge") entered into
pursuant to the Hedge Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all rights
of Company to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to the
Hedges, (ii) claims of Company for damages arising out of or for breach of or
default under the Hedges, (iii) the right of Company to terminate the Hedges or
the Hedge Agreement, and to compel performance and otherwise exercise all
remedies thereunder, and (iv) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (the
assignment of all right, title and interest of Company in and to the Hedges and
the Hedge Agreement being referred to as the "Assigned Rights").

               As used herein, "Financing Agreement" shall mean that certain
Second Amended and Restated Triple-A One Credit Agreement, dated as of November
30, 2001, by and among Onyx Acceptance Financial Corporation, Triple-A One
Funding Corporation, ("Triple-A One"), Capital Markets Assurance Corporation, as
Collateral Agent and CapMAC Financial Services, Inc., as Program Manager, as the
same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in
effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Financing Agreement.

               The Counterparty hereby agrees that, until the Counterparty
receives written notice from the Collateral Agent to the contrary, the
Counterparty shall make all payments under the Hedge Agreement and the Hedges to
the Company. Upon the Counterparty's receipt of written notice from the
Collateral Agent, (i) the Counterparty will cease to make any such payments to
the Company, and shall make all such payments only to the Collateral Agent or as
the Collateral Agent may from time to time direct, and (ii) the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled

<PAGE>

to exercise any and all rights and remedies of Company under the Hedge Agreement
and the Hedges to receive such payments in accordance with the terms hereof.

               All payments to be made under the Hedge Agreement and the Hedges
by the Counterparty shall be made by the Counterparty irrespective of, and
without deduction for, any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off (other
than netting for payments owing by Company thereunder in accordance with the
terms of the Hedge Agreement and the Hedges) and shall be final, and the
Counterparty will not seek to recover from the Collateral Agent or any Person
for any reason any such payment once made.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Company shall remain liable
under the Hedge Agreement and each Hedge to perform all of its duties and
obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Acknowledgment had not been
executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights
hereunder shall not release Company from any of its duties or obligations under
the Hedge Agreement or any Hedge, and (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor
Triple-A One shall have any obligation or liability under the Hedge Agreement or
any Hedge by reason of this Acknowledgment, nor shall any of them be obligated
to perform any of the obligations or duties of Company thereunder or to take any
action to collect or enforce any claim for payment thereunder.

               Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent and the Surety Provider (i) sell, assign (by operation of law
or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any
of the Assigned Rights, or create or permit to exist any lien, security
interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of
the Assigned Rights, except for the assignment acknowledged hereby; (ii) cancel
or terminate the Hedge Agreement or any Hedge or consent to or accept any
cancellation or termination thereof; (iii) amend or otherwise modify the Hedge
Agreement or any Hedge or give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder; (iv)
waive any default under or breach of the Hedge Agreement or any Hedge; or (v)
take any other action in connection with the Hedge Agreement or any Hedge which
would impair the value of the interest or rights of Company thereunder or which
would impair the interests or rights of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the holders of the Obligations.

               No amendment or waiver of any provision hereof, and no consent to
any departure by Company herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, Company, the Surety
Provider and the Counterparty, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

               This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which when executed by the parties hereto shall be deemed an original and all of
which together shall be deemed the same instrument.

               This letter agreement shall be binding upon Company and the
Counterparty and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure,
together with the rights and remedies of

                                      H-2

otherwise without regard to conflicts of law provisions) of the State of New

the Seller pursuant to this Subordinated Security Agreement and the other Liens
permitted pursuant to any of the other Operative Documents, Finco owns each item
of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No
security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to

Subordinated Security Agreement or as may be permitted pursuant to any Operative
Document.

        (b) Perfected Liens. The Liens granted pursuant to this Subordinated
Security Agreement constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of the

written request of the Seller, and at the sole expense of Finco, Finco will
promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and
take such further action as the Seller may request for the purpose of obtaining
or preserving the full benefits of this Subordinated Security Agreement and of
the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing
of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the
Liens created hereby, including all steps necessary to maintain perfection of
the security interest of Finco in each Vehicle; provided, however, that Finco
shall not be obligated to take any action which, in the reasonable judgment of
the Collateral Agent, would violate or conflict with the terms of the Triple-A
One Security Agreement or any other Operative Document.

        (b) Maintenance of Records. Finco will keep and maintain, or cause to be
maintained by the Servicer, at its cost and expense satisfactory and complete
records of the Collateral, including, without limitation, a record of all
payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Purchased
Contracts. Finco will mark or cause the Servicer to

                                       5
<PAGE>

mark its books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this
Subordinated Security Agreement and the subordinated security interest granted
hereby. With the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, at any time upon
the request of the Seller, Finco shall, during normal business hours, turn over
or cause the Servicer to turn over any books and records to the Seller or to its
designated representatives.

        (c) Compliance with Laws, etc. Finco will comply with all Requirements
of Law applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of
Finco's business; provided, however, that Finco may contest any Requirement of
Law in any reasonable manner which shall not, in the sole opinion of the Seller,
adversely affect the Seller's rights or the priority of its Liens on the
Collateral.

        (d) Compliance with Terms etc. Finco will perform and comply with all
its Contractual Obligations relating to the Subordinated Note.

        (e) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Finco will not create, incur or
permit to exist, will defend the Collateral against, and will take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any Lien or claim on or to the Collateral,
other than the Liens created by the Triple-A One Security Agreement, the Liens
created hereby and other than as permitted pursuant to the Operative Documents,
and will defend the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to any of the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

        (f) Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. Finco will not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt, offer
or contract to do so, except as permitted by the Operative Documents.

        (g) Limitations on Modifications, Waivers, Extensions of Purchased
Contracts. Finco will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, (i) amend,
modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Purchased Contract in any manner
which could have an adverse effect on the value of such Purchased Contract as

which Finco may have under each Purchased Contract and (iii) act otherwise than
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

        (h) Limitations on Discounts, Compromises, Extensions of Contracts.
Other than pursuant to the Credit and Collection Policy, Finco will not, and
will not permit the Servicer to, grant any extension of the time of payment of
any of the Purchased Contracts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less
than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partially, any Person liable
for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

        (i) Maintenance of Equipment. Finco will maintain each item of Equipment
in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear and immaterial impairments
of value and

                                       6
<PAGE>

damage by the elements excepted, and will provide all maintenance, service and
repairs necessary for such purpose.

        (j) Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Finco will not, without providing
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Seller, and without filing any UCC
financing statements necessary or desirable (in the opinion of the Seller) to
maintain the perfection and priority of the Seller's security interest in the
Collateral, as provided for herein (i) change the location of its state of
incorporation from that specified in Section 4(c) or remove its books and
records from such location, (ii) permit any Equipment that it may acquire to be
kept at a location other than that specified in Section 4(d), or (iii) change
its name, identity or corporate structure to such an extent that any financing
statement filed by the Seller in connection with this Subordinated Security
Agreement would become misleading.

SECTION 6. Seller's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

        (a) Powers. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3 of
the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, Finco hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Seller and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of Finco and in the name of Finco or in its own name, from time to time in
the Seller's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Subordinated Security Agreement, to take any and all lawful and appropriate
action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Subordinated Security
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Finco hereby
gives the Seller the power and right, on behalf of Finco, without notice to or
assent by Finco, to do the following:

               (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Wind-Down Event, in the name of Finco or its own name, or otherwise, to take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Instrument, General
Intangible or Purchased Contract and to file any claim or to take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Seller for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due under any Instrument, General Intangible or Purchased Contract whenever
payable;

               (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or

Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to the Seller or as the Seller shall direct and to notify the Lock-Box
Banks to follow the instructions of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Seller; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for,
any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other
documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against Finco with respect to any Collateral; (F)
to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in
clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as the Seller may deem appropriate; (G) generally, to sell, transfer,
pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof as fully and completely as though the
Seller were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Seller's option and Finco's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
lawful acts and things which the Seller deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the Seller's Liens thereon and to effect the
intent of this Subordinated Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
Finco might do; and (H) compel the transfer of Finco's interest in all rights
(by license, sublicense or otherwise) of any computer software necessary to
collect the Purchased Contracts.

        Finco hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof.

        (b) Other Powers. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section
5.3 of the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, Finco also
authorizes the Seller, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in
connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 hereof, any endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral.

        (c) No Duty on Seller's Part. The powers conferred on the Seller
hereunder are solely to protect the Seller's interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Seller shall
be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Finco for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7. Performance by Seller of Finco's Obligations. Subject to the terms of
Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3 of the Sale Agreement and of the other
Operative Documents, if Finco fails to perform or comply with any of its

Subordinated Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise
cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

                                       8
<PAGE>

SECTION 8. Remedies. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof and Section 5.3
of the Sale Agreement and of the other Operative Documents, if a Wind-Down Event
shall occur and be continuing, the Seller may exercise in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to it in this Subordinated Security Agreement and in
any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon Finco or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Seller or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it
may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit
or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Seller shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part
of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Finco,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Finco further agrees, at the
Seller's request, to assemble the Collateral and the Files and make them
available to the Seller at places which the Seller shall select, whether at
Finco's premises or elsewhere. The Seller shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to
the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the Seller hereunder, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, in such order as the Seller may elect, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Seller of any other amount required by
any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the
UCC, need the Seller account for the surplus, if any, to Finco. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Finco waives all claims, damages, and demands
against the Seller arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the
Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of Collateral shall
be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if
given (effective upon dispatch) in any manner provided in the Sale Agreement at
least ten (10) days before such sale or disposition. Finco shall remain liable
for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Seller to collect such
deficiency.

SECTION 9. Limitation on Seller's Duties in Respect of Collateral. The Seller's
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Seller deals with similar property for its own
account. Neither the Seller nor any of its

                                       9
<PAGE>

directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of Finco or otherwise.

SECTION 10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers of attorney,
authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are
irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

SECTION 11. Severability. Any provision of this Subordinated Security Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 12. Assignment. Finco does hereby acknowledge that the Seller may pledge
or otherwise transfer the Subordinated Note and all security therefore granted
hereunder with the prior written consent of Triple-A One and the Program
Manager.

SECTION 13. Section and Paragraph Headings. The section and paragraph headings
used in this Subordinated Security Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.

SECTION 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Seller shall not by any act
(except pursuant to the execution of a written instrument pursuant to Section 15
hereof), delay, indulge, omit or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Seller, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise or any other right, power
or privilege. A waiver by the Seller of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Seller
would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 15. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or
provisions of this Subordinated Security Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
Finco and the Seller with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and
the Program Manager; provided, however, that for so long as the Triple-A One
Security Agreement shall be in effect, if the Collateral Agent shall have
consented to a waiver, amendment, supplement or modification under the Triple-A
One Security Agreement, the consent of the Seller shall be

                                       10
<PAGE>

deemed automatically given under the comparable provision of this Subordinated
Security Agreement. No amendment shall be effective without prior written notice
thereof to S&P and Moody's. This Subordinated Security Agreement shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to
the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

SECTION 16. Integration. This Subordinated Security Agreement represents the
agreement of Finco with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Seller relative to
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Operative Documents.

SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Subordinated Security Agreement may be executed
by one or more of the parties to this Subordinated Security Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATED SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO UNDER THIS SUBORDINATED SECURITY AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES WHICH MAY
REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 19. Termination and Release.

        (a) This Subordinated Security Agreement and the security interests
created or granted hereby shall remain in full force and effect until the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the Subordinated
Note, at which time, following the receipt by the Seller of (i) written notice
from the Program Manager that the Obligations have been so paid, and (ii)
payment in full of the Subordinated Note, the security interest created or
granted hereby shall terminate and the Seller shall, execute and deliver such
documents and instruments (including without limitation UCC termination
statements) necessary to evidence the termination of such security interest, as
Finco may reasonably request.

        (b)    (i) Finco Request for Release. Finco intends from time to time to
sell Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral (x) to entities which will
then privately or publicly sell securities backed by such Purchased Contracts
and Collateral or (y) in whole loan bulk sales to Onyx Acceptance Corporation
or, with the prior written consent of the Surety Provider, unaffiliated third
parties, in each case, for a cash purchase price of not less than the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Contracts plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and other unpaid Finance Charges with respect thereto. The proceeds of
all sales by Finco pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above shall be applied first,
to prepay the Triple-A One Note in an amount such that no Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists

                                       11

after giving effect to such sale and such prepayment, second, to pay all amounts
owing to the Surety Provider, Triple-A One, the Collateral Agent and the Program
Manager, and third, to prepay the Subordinated Note. Upon not less than five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Seller, Finco may request that
specified Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral be released in
connection with such sales and the prepayment. In connection with such request,
Finco shall execute and deliver to the Seller a Lien Release Request Certificate
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In selecting the Purchased Contracts
enumerated in its Lien Release Request Certificate delivered to the Seller
pursuant hereto, Finco shall employ selection procedures which are not adverse
to the interests of the Seller.

               (ii) Seller Release. Upon the release by the Collateral Agent of
its interest in whole or in part in the Purchased Contracts pursuant to Section
23(b) of the Triple-A One Security Agreement, the Seller shall, at the sole
expense of Finco, execute and deliver a Seller Lien Release Certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B which shall evidence the release of its
security interest in the Purchased Contracts released by the Collateral Agent
under the Triple-A One Security Agreement.

               (iii) Documents and Filings. In connection with any such release
pursuant to this Section 19, Finco and the Seller, shall at the sole expense of
Finco, execute and deliver any documents and instruments necessary to evidence
the release of the Seller's security interest in such Purchased Contracts and
other Collateral, including without limitation, forms UCC-2 prepared for filing
in all appropriate jurisdictions.

SECTION 20. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Subordinated Security Agreement, on the one hand, and the terms of the
Subordinated Note, Section 5.3 of the Sale Agreement or any other Operative
Document, on the other hand, the terms of the Subordinated Note, Section 5.3 of
the Sale Agreement or such other Operative Document, as the case may be, shall
prevail.

SECTION 21. Standstill on Exercise of Rights. The Seller and Finco agree that
neither the Seller nor any permitted assignee of the Seller may exercise or take
any action to enforce any of the rights granted by Finco to the Seller in this
Subordinated Security Agreement until such time as all of the Obligations (as
defined in the Definitions List) of Finco to Triple-A One, the Banks, the Surety
Provider, the Program Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Bank Agent and the Bank
Collateral Agent under the Operative Documents have been indefeasibly paid in
full in cash.
