Collateral, including without limitation any obligation to make future advances
to or on behalf of such Obligors.

         duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect;

                                (5) Exhibit D to this Agreement is and will be

         related Dealer Agreements).

                           (14) Notice of Breach. The representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 3.2 shall survive the pledge of the
Collateral to the Collateral Agent and the termination of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer. Upon discovery by the Debtor, CAC, the Servicer or
the Collateral Agent of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 3.2, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties of such breach.

                           (15) Payment in Respect of Ineligible Loans and
Ineligible Contracts.

                                       40
<PAGE>   41
                  (1) In the event of a breach of any of the representations or
warranties in Section 3.2(c) with respect to a Loan or Contract, as applicable,
and such Loan or Contract (x) is an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract, as
applicable, or (y) as a result of such breach or event, such Loan or Contract
becomes an Ineligible Loan or Ineligible Contract, as applicable, or the
Debtor's or Collateral Agent's rights in, to or under such Loan or Contract or
its proceeds are materially impaired or the proceeds of such Loan or Contract
are not available for any reason to the Collateral Agent free and clear of any
Lien, then the Debtor shall deposit into the Collection Account, on the next
Business Day,(A) with respect to each such Loan, an amount equal to the sum of
(1) the product of (x) the Outstanding Balance of such Loan and (y) the Blended
Advance Rate relating to such Loan plus (2) the Accrued Interest Component
relating to such Loan, and (B) with respect to each such Contract, an amount
equal to (1) the product of (x) the Outstanding Balance of each such Contract
and (y) the Weighted Average Advance Rate relating to such Contract divided by
(2) .80. Such amounts shall be allocated between Income Collections and
Principal Collections and distributed on the next succeeding Remittance Date in
accordance with Sections 5.1(a) and (b). For purposes of this paragraph,
Outstanding Balance shall be calculated as of the last day of the immediately
preceding Collection Period.

                  (2) Upon the request of the Debtor, and after or
simultaneously with the deposit of the amounts specified in Section 3.2(e)(i),
the Collateral Agent shall release its security interest, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, on the Loans and Contracts with respect to which the Debtor has
made the specified deposits pursuant to Section 3.2(e)(i) and all other
Collateral related exclusively to such Loans or Contracts; provided, however,
that any Income Collections relating to any

                                       41
<PAGE>   42

such Loans accrued through the date of the release of the security interest in
such Loans shall continue to be pledged to the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties. The Collateral Agent shall execute such documents and instruments of
termination prepared by, and at the expense of, the Debtor and take, at the
Debtor's expense, such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Debtor to effect the release of the security interests in the Loans and
Contracts pursuant to this Section 3.2(e). The obligation of the Debtor set
forth in this subsection shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any breach
of the representations and warranties set forth in the above-referenced
subsections with regard to the Loans and Contracts with respect to which the
Debtor has made the specified deposits pursuant to Section 3.2(e)(i).

                  (3) No Impairment. For the purposes of subsections 3.2(e)
above, if CAC is the Servicer and the Servicer is otherwise permitted hereunder
to hold Collections beyond the applicable period under Section 9-306(3) of the
UCC, the proceeds of a Loan shall not be deemed to be impaired hereunder solely
because such proceeds are held by the Servicer for more than the applicable
period under Section 9-306(3) of the UCC.

         SECTION 3.2 Covenants of the Debtor.

         The Debtor hereby covenants to the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties, until all amounts due under this Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement
and the Note have been paid in full, that:

                  (1) Corporate Existence; Conduct of Business. The Debtor will
preserve and maintain its existence as a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Debtor will carry on and conduct its
business in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently
conducted and do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction

                                       42
<PAGE>   43

of its incorporation and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its
business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

                  (2) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Debtor shall duly
satisfy in all material respects its obligations under or in connection with
each Loan and Contract, will maintain in effect all material qualifications
required under Requirements of Law, and will comply in all material respects
with all other Requirements of Law in connection with each Loan and Contract the
failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.

                  (3) Furnishing of Information and Inspection of Records. The
Debtor will furnish to the Collateral Agent, from time to time, such information
with respect to the Loans and Contracts as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, including, without limitation, a computer file, microfiche list or
other list identifying each Loan and Contract by pool number, account number and
dealer number and by the Outstanding Balance and identifying the Obligor on such
Loan or Contract. The Debtor will, at any time and from time to time during
regular business hours, upon reasonable notice, permit the Collateral Agent, or
its agents or representatives, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from
all Records, to visit the offices and properties of the Debtor for the purpose
of examining such Records, and to discuss matters relating to the Loans or
Contracts or the Debtor's performance hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents to which such Person is a party with any of the officers, directors,
employees or independent public accountants of the Debtor having knowledge of
such matters; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent acknowledges that in
exercising the rights and privileges conferred in this Section 3.3(c) it or its
agents and representatives may, from time to time, obtain knowledge of
information, practices, books, correspondence and records of a confidential
nature and in which the Debtor has a proprietary interest. The Collateral Agent
agrees that all such information,

                                       43
<PAGE>   44

practices, books, correspondence and records are to be regarded as confidential
information and agrees that it shall retain in strict confidence and shall use
its reasonable efforts to ensure that its agents and representatives retain in
strict confidence, and will not disclose without the prior written consent of
the Debtor, any such information, practices, books, correspondence and records
furnished to them except that the Collateral Agent may disclose such information
(i) to its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants,
auditors, affiliates, advisors or representatives (provided that such Persons
are informed of the confidential nature of such information), (ii) to the extent
such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure by or through the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors,
employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, affiliates, advisors or
representatives, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the
Collateral Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to the
Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) to the extent the Collateral Agent should be
(A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B)
requested by any bank regulatory authority to disclose such information, (v) to
any Program Support Provider, (vi) to any Bank Investor or prospective Bank
Investor, and (vii) to any prospective assignee of the Note; provided, that the
Collateral Agent shall notify such assignee of the confidentiality provisions of
this Section 3.3(c).

                  (4) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Debtor will
maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including,
without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing the Loans and
Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep
and maintain, or obtain, as and when required, all documents, books, records and
other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all
amounts due under the Loans and Contracts (including, without limitation,
records adequate to permit adjustments to amounts due under each existing Loan
and Contract). The Debtor will give the Collateral Agent notice of any material
change

                                       44
<PAGE>   45

in the administrative and operating procedures of the Debtor referred to in the
previous sentence.

                  (5) Note Purchase Agreement. The Debtor will comply with the
covenants set forth in Section 4.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

                  (6) Notice of Liens. The Debtor will advise the Collateral
Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien asserted by a Person that
is not an Obligor against any of the Loans or Contracts or other Collateral,
(ii) after becoming aware of any Lien on any Loan or other Collateral other than
the pledge hereunder or under the Contribution Agreement, (iii) of any breach by
the Debtor or the Servicer of any of its representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein or in the Note Purchase Agreement and (iv) of the
occurrence of any other event which would have a material adverse effect on the
Collateral Agent's interest in the Loans or Contracts or the collectability of
amounts due thereunder. The Debtor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly
after becoming aware of any Lien on any Loan or Contract or other Collateral
other than the conveyances under the Contribution Agreement.

                  (7) Protection of Interest in Collateral. The Debtor shall
execute and file such continuation statements and any other documents reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent, the Agent, the Company or any Bank Investor
or which may be required by law to fully preserve and protect the interest of
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in and to the Loans and the
Contracts and the other Collateral. The Debtor shall further deliver to the
Collateral Agent annually, on May 31st of each year, commencing May 31st, 1999,
an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Collateral Agent stating whether that
(i) no filings or other actions need to be taken from the date of the opinion
until April 30th of the next year in order to continue the perfected status of
the Collateral Agent's interest in the Collateral or (ii) setting forth the
actions which need to be taken (and when) in order to continue the perfected
status of

                                       45
<PAGE>   46

the Collateral Agent's interest in the Collateral beyond April 30th of the next
year.

                  (8)  No Sales, Liens, Etc. Except as otherwise permitted by
the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Debtor will
not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or
create or suffer to exist any Lien upon (or the filing of any financing
statement with respect to), any of the Collateral. In addition, the Debtor will
not, and will not permit CAC, the Servicer or any Obligor to, sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien on (or the filing of any financing statement with
respect to) any inventory or goods, the sale of which may give rise to an amount
payable with respect to a Loan or Contract, other than Liens on inventory which
specifically exclude from the property subject to any such Lien Contracts and
other property of the type included in the Collateral generated by sales of such
inventory and the proceeds thereof. The Debtor will notify the Collateral Agent
of the existence of any such Lien immediately upon discovery thereof.

                  (9)  No Extension or Amendment. Except as otherwise permitted
by the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Debtor
will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Loan or Contract,
except to the extent that such extension, amendment or modification is done in
accordance with the Collection Guidelines, is determined by the Servicer to be
appropriate to maximize Collections and would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Collateral Agent or either of the Secured Parties.

                  (10) No Merger or Consolidation. The Debtor shall not (i)
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person, or (ii) except as otherwise
permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise convey all or substantially all of its assets
to any other Person.

                                       46
<PAGE>   47

                  (11) Change of Name, Etc. The Debtor will not, without
providing 30 days' notice to the Collateral Agent and without filing such
amendments to any previously filed financing statements as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably require, (A) change the location of its principal executive
office or the jurisdiction of its organization or the location of the offices
where the records relating to the Loans or the Contracts are kept, and (B)
change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner which would,
could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by
the Debtor in accordance with this Agreement seriously misleading within the
meaning of Section 9-402(8) of the UCC.

                  (12) Amendment of Note Purchase Agreement. The Debtor will not
amend, modify or supplement the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent to the substance and form of any such amendment, modification
or supplement and will not take any other action under this Agreement, the Note
Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party that
would have a material adverse effect on the Collateral Agent, the Company or any
Bank Investor or which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (13) Contribution Agreement. The Debtor, in its capacity under
the Contribution Agreement, will at all times enforce the covenants and
agreements of CAC in the Contribution Agreement (including the rights and
remedies against the Dealers assigned to it thereunder). The Debtor will not
enter into any amendment, modification or supplement to the Contribution
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

                  (14) ERISA Matters. The Debtor will not (i) engage or permit
any of its respective ERISA Affiliates to engage in any prohibited transaction
(as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 406 of

302(a) of ERISA and Section 412(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) or funding
deficiency with respect to any Benefit Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan;
(iii) fail to make any payments to any Multiemployer Plan that the Debtor or any
ERISA Affiliate of the Debtor is required to make under the agreement relating
to such Multiemployer Plan or any law pertaining thereto; (iv) terminate any
Benefit Plan so as to result in any liability; (v) permit to exist any
occurrence of any Reportable Event which represents a material risk of a
liability to the Debtor under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or (vi) permit
to exist any occurrence of any Reportable Event which represents a material risk
of liability to any ERISA Affiliate of the Debtor under ERISA or the Internal
Revenue Code, if, in the case of such ERISA Affiliate, such prohibited
transactions, accumulated funding deficiencies, payments, terminations and
Reportable Events occurring within any fiscal year of such ERISA Affiliate, in
the aggregate, involve a payment of money or an incurrence of liability by the
Debtor or any ERISA Affiliate of the Debtor in an amount in excess of $500,000.

                  (15) No Assignment. The Debtor shall not assign any of its
rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under the Note Purchase
Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

                  (16) Notice of Delegation of Servicer's Duties. The Debtor

financial institution (the "Cap Counterparty"), which shall at all times during
the term of the Interest Rate Cap be acceptable to the Agent and shall have at
all times a rating of at least "A3" from Moody's and "A-" from Standard & Poor's
and which has irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that, prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper

                                   ARTICLE 4

                     SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION; ACCOUNTS

         SECTION 4.1 Servicing. (a) Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the
Debtor has contracted with CAC to act as servicer to manage, collect and
administer each of the Loans. Until such time as CAC is terminated as servicer
under the Servicing Agreement, references to the Servicer herein shall refer to
CAC as servicer under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In the event of a
Servicer Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to cause
the Debtor to terminate CAC as servicer thereunder. Upon termination of CAC as
servicer of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Servicing Agreement, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor servicer (the
"Successor Servicer") and enter into a servicing agreement with such Successor
Servicer at such time and exercise all of its rights under Section 4.3 hereof.
In the event that the Successor Servicer is not appointed within 30 days of the
Servicer Event of Default which led to the termination of the preceding
Servicer, Bank of America, N.A. shall thereupon be appointed to act as Successor
Servicer and Bank of America, N.A. agrees to so act. Such servicing agreement
shall specify the duties and obligations of such Successor Servicer, and all
references herein to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor
Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, Bank of America, N.A. may appoint any
established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of automobile
installment sales contracts as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

                           (1) The Debtor shall cause the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to deposit all Collections
into the Collection Account no later than two Business Days after the Date of
Processing.

                           (2) On or before one hundred twenty (120) days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer,

                                       50
<PAGE>   51

beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, the Servicer shall
cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other
services to the Servicer or the Debtor) to furnish a report to the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that they have (i) compared the
information contained in the Monthly Servicer's Certificates delivered during
such fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Collateral Agent, with
the information contained in the Loans, the Contracts and the Servicer's records
and computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such agreed upon
procedures, such firm is of the opinion that the information contained in the
Monthly Servicer's Certificates reconciles with the information contained in the
Loans and the Contracts and the Servicer's records and computer system and that
the servicing of the Loans and the Contracts has been conducted in compliance
with this Agreement, (ii) verified the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan
Balance as of the end of each Collection Period during such fiscal year, and
(iii) verified that a sample of Loans and Contracts treated by the Servicer as
Eligible Loans and as Eligible Contracts, as applicable, in fact satisfied the
requirements of the definition thereof contained herein and (iv) conducted a
'negative confirmation' of a sample of the Loans and Contracts and verified that
the Servicer's records and computer system used in servicing the Loans and
Contracts contained correct information with regard to due dates and outstanding
balances, except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall
believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

                  SECTION 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

                           (1) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all
such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under
the Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in accordance with applicable
laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in
accordance with the Collection Guidelines, it being understood that there shall
be no

                                       51
<PAGE>   52

recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Loans and Contracts except as
otherwise provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Each of the
Debtor and the Secured Parties hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from
time to time designated pursuant to Section 4.1, to enforce its respective
rights and interests in and under the Collateral. So long as no Termination
Event shall have occurred, the Servicer may, unless otherwise required by law,
in accordance with the Collection Guidelines, extend the maturity of Loans and
Contracts, as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize
Collections thereof. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties
all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Collateral. In
the event that a Successor Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall
deliver to the Successor Servicer and the Successor Servicer shall hold in trust
for the Debtor and the Secured Parties all records which evidence or relate to
all or any part of the Collateral.

                           (2) If CAC or any affiliate thereof is not the
Servicer, the Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Agent, may revise the
percentage used to calculate the Monthly Servicing Fee. The Servicer, if other
than CAC, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Debtor all
records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor
which is not a Loan or a Contract.

                  SECTION 4.3 Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer. At
any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section
4.1:

                               (1) The Collateral Agent may intercept payments
         made by or on behalf of Obligors and direct that payment of all amounts
         payable under any Loan or Contract be made directly to the Collateral
         Agent or its designee; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall pay to
         any Dealer, to the extent to which such Dealer is entitled, all amounts

                                       52
<PAGE>   53

         due to such Dealer under the related Dealer Agreement.

                               (2) The Debtor shall, at the Collateral Agent's
         request and at the Debtor's expense, give notice of the Collateral
         Agent's interest in the Loans and Contracts to each Obligor and direct
         that payments be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                               (3) The Debtor shall, at the Collateral Agent's
         request, (A) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral,
         including all Records with respect to the Loans and Contracts, and
         shall make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place
         selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all
         cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time
         constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the
         Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash,
         checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments
         of transfer, to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                               (4) The Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral
         Agent to take any and all steps in the Debtor's name and on behalf of
         the Debtor necessary or desirable, in the determination of the
         Collateral Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all of the
         Collateral with respect thereto, including, without limitation,
         endorsing the Debtor's name on checks and other instruments
         representing Collections and enforcing the Loans and Contracts.

                  SECTION 4.4 Responsibilities of the Debtor. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtor shall (i) perform all of its
obligations under the Loans and Contracts to the same extent as if a security
interest in such Loans and Contracts had not been granted hereunder and the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the
Debtor from such

                                       53
<PAGE>   54

obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including without limitation, any
sales taxes payable in connection with the Loans or Contracts and their creation
and satisfaction. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have
any obligation or liability with respect to any Loan, nor shall any of them be
obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Debtor thereunder.

                  SECTION 4.5 Monthly Servicer's Certificate. On each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Agent, and the Collateral
Agent a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the
"Monthly Servicer's Certificate") for the related Collection Period. The Agent
shall provide to the Debtor, by the day prior to the related Determination Date
in the calendar month following the Collection Period to which such Monthly
Servicer's Certificate relates, information relating to the amount of each
obligation of the Company which comprises Carrying Costs for such Collection
Period. The Monthly Servicer's Certificate shall specify whether a Termination
Event is deemed to have occurred with respect to the Collection Period preceding
such Determination Date. Upon receipt of the Monthly Servicer's Certificate, the
Collateral Agent shall rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) on the
information contained therein for the purposes of making distributions and
allocations as provided for herein.

                  SECTION 4.6 Additional Representations and Warranties of CAC
as Servicer. CAC, in its capacity as Servicer, represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date, and each Subsequent Funding Date, that
the only material servicing computer systems and related software utilized by
the Servicer to service the Loans and Contracts are (i) owned by it, or (ii)
provided by Ontario Systems Corporation under an agreement (and related
non-exclusive license) and related letter agreements dated November 15, 1989.
Should the Servicer or any of its Affiliates develop or implement computer
software for servicing that is owned by or exclusively licensed to the Servicer
or an Affiliate and utilize such

                                       54
<PAGE>   55

software in the servicing of the Loans and Contracts, the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to compel a license or sublicense for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent or its designee of any such rights to the extent the Collateral Agent
deems reasonably necessary and appropriate to assure that it or a duly appointed
Successor Servicer would be able to continue to service the Loans and Contracts
should that be required in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.

                  SECTION 4.7 Establishment of Accounts. (a) There shall be
established on the Closing Date and maintained, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in the name of the Collateral Agent, a segregated securities account
(the "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Subject
to the terms hereof, the Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and
interest in and to all funds deposited from time to time in the Collection
Account. The Collateral Agent will maintain the Collection Account at an
Eligible Institution. If the Eligible Institution holding the Collection Account
shall cease to be an Eligible Institution, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to direct the transfer of the Collection Account to an Eligible
Institution. On each Remittance Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses
and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be
included in Available Collections and be distributed pursuant to Section 5.1.

                           (1) There shall be established on the Closing Date
and maintained, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the name of the
Collateral Agent, a segregated securities account (the "Reserve Account"),
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Subject to the terms hereof, the
Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds
deposited from time to time in the Reserve Account. The Collateral Agent shall
maintain the Reserve Account at an Eligible Institution. If the Eligible
Institution holding the Reserve Account shall

                                       55
<PAGE>   56

cease to be an Eligible Institution, the Collateral Agent shall have the right
to direct the transfer of the Reserve Account to an Eligible Institution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not withdraw any funds
from, or otherwise exercise control over, the Reserve Account except as provided
in this Agreement. All amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be held
by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

                           (2) (1) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account
and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments by or at the
written direction of the Debtor, provided that if a Termination Event shall have
occurred, such investments shall be made as directed by the Collateral Agent.
Any such written directions shall specify the particular investment to be made
and shall certify that such investment is an Eligible Investment and is
permitted to be made under this Agreement.

                  (2)      The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not accept
for credit to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account any investment as to
which it has knowledge of any adverse claim thereto. Bank of America, N.A.
hereby agrees (and any other Securities Intermediary holding the Reserve Account
shall so agree) to comply with all Entitlement Orders (as defined in Section
8-102 of the 1994 Official Text of the Uniform Commercial Code) received by it
with respect to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account from the
Collateral Agent.

                  (3)      Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be so
invested in Eligible Investments that mature such that such funds or the
proceeds thereof will be available for withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.1(a),
5.1(b) and 5.1(c) on the maturity date of Related Commercial Paper; in any event
the maturity of any Eligible Investment shall not exceed 30 days. Funds on
deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that
will mature so that such funds will be available prior to the next Remittance
Date, except that in the case of funds representing Collections

                                       56
<PAGE>   57

with respect to a succeeding Collection Period, such Eligible Investments may
mature so that such funds will be available no later than the Business Day prior
to the Remittance Date for such Collection Period. No Eligible Investment may be
liquidated or disposed of prior to its maturity. All proceeds of any Eligible
Investment shall be deposited in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account,
as applicable. Investments may be made in either account on any date (provided
such investments mature in accordance herewith), only after giving effect to
deposits to and withdrawals from such account on such date. Realized losses, if
any, on amounts invested in Eligible Investments shall be charged against
investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the
Reserve Account, as applicable.

                  (4)      The Debtor shall provide the Collateral Agent on the
date hereof and from time to time an incumbency certificate or the substantial
equivalent with respect to each officer of the Debtor that is authorized to
provide instructions relating to investments in Eligible Investments.

                  (5)      Eligible Investments shall be maintained by the
Collateral Agent in such manner as may be necessary to maintain the first
priority perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Secured Parties. Bank of America, N.A. agrees (and any other Securities
Intermediary holding the Reserve Account shall so agree) that it shall not agree
to comply with Entitlement Orders (as defined in Section 8-102 of the 1994
version of the Official Text of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) with
respect to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account given to it by any
Person other than the Collateral Agent.

                  SECTION 5.1 Collections. (a) On each Remittance Date, the
Collateral Agent shall determine by reference to the Monthly Servicer's
Certificate for each group of Loans which are the subject of a Funding, the

Income Collections from the Collection Account and allocate and pay (or release)
such amounts in the following order of priority:

                           (1) an amount equal to unpaid Servicer Advances and
         Reserve Advances for the related Collection Period, in each case made
         in respect of the Net Investment related to such Funding or such
         release, if any, shall be paid to the Servicer or deposited into the
         Reserve Account, as applicable, to repay such Servicer Advances or
         reinstate such Reserve Advances, respectively;

                           (2) to the Servicer, an amount equal to the Monthly
         Servicing Fee in respect of such group of Loans for the related
         Collection Period;

                           (3) to the Agent, for the account of the Company or
         the Bank Investors an amount equal to the Carrying Costs for the
         related Collection Period due on such Remittance Date (less the amount
         of any such Carrying Costs that has been paid by a Servicer Advance or
         a Reserve Advance), plus the amount of any Carrying Costs previously
         due but not paid on a prior Remittance Date, in each case made in
         respect of the Net Investment released to such Funding or such release;

                           (4) to the application of amounts described in
         clauses (i) through (iii) above

                                       58
<PAGE>   59

         on such date with respect to all other groups of Loans or the related
         Net Investment to the extent such amounts are not fully paid with
         Income Collections attributable to such other groups of Loans, pro rata
         among such groups of Loans (or related Net Investment) on the basis of
         such amounts not fully paid.

                           (5) to the Debtor for Administrative Expenses, pro
         rata on the basis of the Net Investment related to such group of Loans;

                           (6) (A) with respect to Income Collections as of each
         Remittance Date up to and including the January 2002 Remittance Date
         that relate to the July 2001 Funding, to the Debtor, provided that (a)
         a Termination Date shall not have occurred and a Potential Termination
         Event or a Termination Event shall not have occurred or be continuing,
         (b) after giving effect to such release to the Debtor, the Net
         Investment related to any Funding will not be greater than the product
         of (x) the applicable Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance minus
         the applicable Excluded Loan Balance and (y) the applicable Blended
         Advance Rate, (c) additional Loans which are satisfactory to the Agent
         are being conveyed to the Debtor on such Remittance Date as described
         in Section 5.5 hereof, and, (d) the Required Reserve Account Balance is
         deposited in the Reserve Account or the Debtor shall have given
         irrevocable instructions to the Collateral Agent to withhold from the
         proceeds of such release and to deposit in the Reserve Account, an
         amount equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount on deposit in
         the Reserve Account as of such Remittance Date (after giving effect to
         any deposits or withdrawals to occur on

                                       59

         such date) to at least equal the Required Reserve Account Balance after
         giving effect to such release of funds; otherwise (B) to the Noteholder
         to reduce the Net Investment, until the Net Investment has been reduced
         to zero (it being understood that to the extent the conditions provided
         for in part (A) above are not satisfied such that all amounts that
         could have been released under this clause (vi) are eligible for
         release to the Debtor, then only those funds eligible for release shall
         be paid to the Debtor and the remainder shall be paid to the
         Noteholder);

                           (7) to the Agent, for the account of the Persons
         entitled thereto, an amount equal to all other amounts owed under the
         Note Purchase Agreement; and

                           (8) the remainder, if any, to the Debtor.

                  (2)       On each Remittance Date, the Collateral Agent shall
determine by reference to the Monthly Servicer's Certificate for each group of
Loans which are the subject of a Funding, the portion of Available Collections
which are Principal Collections with respect to such Remittance Date and such
group of Loans and shall withdraw such amount of Principal Collections from the
Collection Account and allocate and pay such amounts in the following order of
priority:

                           (1) to the Agent, for the account of the Company or
         the Bank Investors, an amount equal to any Carrying Costs for the
         related Collection Period due on such Remittance Date but which were
         not paid pursuant to Section 5.1(a) (whether or not in respect of the
         Net Investment related to such group of Loans);

                                       60
<PAGE>   61

                           (2) to the Noteholder to reduce the related Net
         Investment to an amount equal to the product of (x) the applicable
         Blended Advance Rate (with respect to the July 2001 Funding, the
         weighted average Blended Advance Rate for such Funding and all releases
         related thereto) and (y) (a) the applicable Aggregate Outstanding
         Eligible Loan Balance determined as of the last day of the related
         Collection Period minus (b) the applicable Excluded Loan Balance;

                           (3) to the application of amounts described in clause
         (ii) above on such date with respect to the Net Investment related to
         all other Fundings to the extent such amounts are not fully paid with
         Principal Collectors attributable to such other groups of Loans, pro
         rata among such other groups of Loans (or related Net Investments) on
         the basis of such amounts not fully paid;

                           (4) (A) with respect to Principal Collections as of
         each Remittance Date up to and including the January 2002 Remittance
         Date that relate to the July 2001 Funding, to the Debtor, provided that
         (a) a Termination Date shall not have occurred and a Potential
         Termination Event or a Termination Event shall not have occurred or be
         continuing, (b) additional Loans which are satisfactory to the Agent
         are being conveyed to the Debtor on such Remittance Date as described
         in Section 5.5 hereof, and (c) the Required Reserve Account Balance is
         deposited in the Reserve Account or the Debtor shall have given
         irrevocable instructions to the Collateral Agent to withhold from the
         proceeds of such release and to deposit in the Reserve Account, an
         amount equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount on deposit in
         the Reserve Account as of such Remittance Date (after

                                       61
<PAGE>   62

         giving effect to any deposits or withdrawals to occur on such date) to
         at least equal the Required Reserve Account Balance after giving effect
         to such release of funds; otherwise (B) to the Noteholder to reduce the
         related Net Investment, until the related Net Investment has been
         reduced to zero, then to any other Net Investment(s) until reduced to
         zero (it being understood that to the extent the conditions provided
         for in part (A) above are not satisfied such that all amounts that
         could have been released under this clause (iv) are eligible for
         release to the Debtor, then only those funds eligible for release shall
         be paid to the Debtor and the remainder shall be paid to the
         Noteholder);

                           (5) to the Agent, for the account of the Persons
         entitled thereto, an amount equal to all other amounts owed under the
         Note Purchase Agreement; and

                           (6) the remainder, if any, to the Debtor.

                  (3)      On any date that a tranche of Related Commercial
Paper matures whether or not such date is a Remittance Date (each, an "Interest
Payment Date"), the Interest Component of matured or maturing Related Commercial
Paper due and payable on such day shall be payable as interest on the Note
("Note Interest"). Accordingly, the Collateral Agent, acting upon notice from
the Administrative Agent, shall, to the extent the Note Interest exceeds
Available Cash, withdraw such amount from funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, to the extent of Collections on deposit therein, and remit such amount
to the Agent for the account of the Company. To the extent that amounts
withdrawn by the Agent, as specified above are insufficient to pay such costs,
the Servicer, acting upon notice from the Administrative Agent, shall make an
advance in an amount equal to such

                                       62
<PAGE>   63

costs due and payable on such day (a "Servicer Advance") and remit to the Agent
for the account of the Company, the amount of such advance; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be obligated to make any such advance except to the
extent that the Servicer reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advance on
a succeeding Remittance Date pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i); provided further,
that the Servicer, from the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on
July 31, 1998, shall not be obligated to make Servicer Advances such that the
aggregate amount of outstanding Servicer Advances would be in excess of $750,000
at any time during such time period. To the extent that amounts advanced by the
Servicer are insufficient to pay such costs and the Debtor fails to make a
payment to the Collateral Agent on such day in the amount of such shortfall, the
Collateral Agent shall withdraw the amount of such remaining shortfall from the
Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein, and remit such
amount to the Agent (such amount, a "Reserve Advance"), for the account of the
Company. Amounts required to be remitted pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) to the
Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be remitted in immediately available funds
to the Agent's account no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date
due.

                  (4) If the Available Collections in respect of a Remittance
Date are insufficient to pay the sum of the amounts to be distributed pursuant
to clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 5.1(a) or clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 5.1(b), the Collateral Agent shall withdraw the amount of such shortfall
from the Reserve Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein, and apply
such amount to the payment of the items described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
of Section 5.1(a) and clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.1(b), in that order of
priority.

                  (5) Allocation of Collections Between Principal Collections
and Income Collections. The Servicer will allocate Collections monthly in
accordance with the actual amount of Income Collections and Principal
Collections processed. The Servicer shall

                                       63
<PAGE>   64

determine each month the amount of Collections processed during such month which
constitutes amounts which, pursuant to the terms of any Dealer Agreement, are
required to be remitted to the applicable Dealer (such collections, "Dealer
Collections"). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Servicer shall
distribute to the Debtor on each Remittance Date an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Dealer Collections received during or with respect to the
prior Collection Period prior to the distribution of Available Collections
pursuant to this Section 5.1.

                  SECTION 5.2 Remittances to the Secured Parties. On each
Remittance Date, the Collateral Agent shall remit all applicable amounts to each
Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the final remittance in respect of the Note shall be made in
the applicable manner specified above only upon presentation and surrender of
the Note at the office of the Debtor specified by it in the notice of such final
remittance or repurchase.

                  SECTION 5.3 Reserve Account.

                           (1) On or prior to any Funding, the Debtor shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account, the Required Reserve
Account Balance (calculated as if such Funding had occurred). The Debtor shall
deposit into the Reserve Account all amounts which are required to be deposited
therein by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall promptly withdraw from the
Reserve Account all amounts required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to
Sections 5.1(c), 5.1(d) and 5.4 hereof, and shall either (i) pay such amounts to
the Agent, for the account of the Company or the Bank Investors (in the case of
withdrawals pursuant to Section 5.1(c) or 5.4) or (ii) deposit such amounts to
the credit of the Collection Account (in the case of withdrawals therefrom
pursuant to Section 5.1(d)).

                           (2) To the extent that amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account on any Remittance Date, after

                                       64
<PAGE>   65

giving effect to any required withdrawals therefrom on such day, exceed the
Required Reserve Account Balance, such excess amounts shall be withdrawn from
the Reserve Account by the Collateral Agent and used to reduce the Net
Investment; provided, that any such excess amounts attributable to a decrease in
the Supplemental Reserve Requirement shall be paid to the Structuring Agent by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to: Account # 1093601650000; ABA #
053000196: Reference:CAC Reserve Release.

                           (3) If and to the extent that the aggregate Net
Investment has been reduced to zero and all amounts owed by the Debtor to the
Secured Parties hereunder, under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and any
other Transaction Document have been paid in full, any amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account shall be released to the Debtor.

                  SECTION 5.4 Optional Clean-Up Event; Mandatory Clean-Up Event.
Upon the occurrence of an Optional Clean-Up Event, the Debtor may, and upon the
occurrence of a Mandatory Clean-Up Event, the Debtor shall, deposit into the
Collection Account on the day preceding the next Remittance Date, an amount
which, when taken together with the amount then on deposit in the Collection
Account and the Reserve Account (before giving effect to any deposit required by
this Section 5.4), shall be sufficient to pay all amounts outstanding under the
Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and any other Transaction Document in the case
of a Mandatory Clean-Up Event or, in the case of an Optional Clean-Up Event, to
pay all amounts outstanding that relate to the Funding to which such Optional
Clean-Up Event applies under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note and any other
Transaction Document; provided that such deposit by the Debtor does not
constitute or result in a violation of any material agreement related to the
indebtedness of the Debtor. If such deposit (or any part of such deposit) is
made into the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Collateral
Agent shall withdraw on the next Remittance Date (i) in the case of a Mandatory
Clean-Up Event, all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the

                                       65
<PAGE>   66
Reserve Account, and (ii) in the case of an Optional Clean-Up Event, the funds
in the Collection Account and, if necessary, the Reserve Account, that relate to
the Funding to which such Optional Clean-Up Event applies, and in each case pay
such amounts to the Company, the Bank Investors and any Noteholder, as
applicable.

                  SECTION 5.5 Conditions Precedent to Releases to Debtor. It
shall be a condition precedent to any release to the Debtor pursuant to the
Release Provisions that the aggregate amount released on such date shall not
exceed the product of (x) the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance minus

funded by such release and conveyed to the Debtor on or as of such date) and (y)
the Blended Advance Rate in respect of such group of Loans.

pursuant to the Release Provisions (each, a "Release Date"), there shall be
delivered to the Agent (with sufficient copies for its counsel) the following
documents, all of which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent:

amount released pursuant to the Release Provisions on such date does not exceed
the product of (x) the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance minus the
Excluded Loan Balance (in each case with respect to the group of Loans being
funded by such release and conveyed to the Debtor on or as of such date) and (y)
the Blended Advance Rate in respect of such group of Loans, and shall also
include a certification by an authorized officer of the Debtor that to the best
of such officer's knowledge, no event has occurred

                                       66

since the most recent Funding or release to the Debtor under the Release

Contracts, the Servicer or the Debtor.

UCC-1) naming CAC as the debtor in respect of the Loans and the other Collateral
being conveyed to the Debtor on or as of such date, the Debtor as secured party
and the Collateral Agent as assignee or other similar instruments or documents

all appropriate jurisdictions or any comparable law to evidence the perfection
of the Debtor's security interest in such Loans and other Collateral.

                           (3) Copies of proper financing statements (Form
UCC-3), if any, necessary to terminate all security interests and other rights
of any Person in such Loans and other Collateral previously granted by the
Debtor, CAC or any Obligor.

Debtor or CAC in the jurisdictions in which the filings were made pursuant to
clause (b) above or in any other jurisdiction reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent in light of various UCC transition rules.

                           (5) Favorable opinion(s) of Dykema, Gossett PLLC and
any other counsel, if required, as counsel to the Debtor and CAC upon written

and opinions as the Collateral Agent or any Bank Investor shall reasonably
request.

                              THE COLLATERAL AGENT

                  SECTION 7.1 Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral
Agent, both prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event hereunder and after a
Termination Event shall have been cured or waived, shall undertake to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall at all times after the occurrence of a
Termination Event which has not been cured or waived exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it pursuant to this Agreement using the same degree of care
and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her
own affairs.

                  All Collections received by the Collateral Agent from the
Servicer or otherwise will, pending remittance to the Secured Party entitled
thereto, be held in trust by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and together with all other payment obligations of the Debtor hereunder
owing to the Secured Parties shall be payable to the Secured Parties in
accordance with the provisions of Article V hereof.

                  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent
shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except
upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer
permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which
the Collateral Agent could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Collateral Agent shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by
an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Secured Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign if, after demand
therefor, it does not receive payment of any compensation due from the Debtor
pursuant to the letter agreement described in Section 7.2. No resignation of the
Collateral Agent shall become effective until a successor Collateral Agent
approved by

                                       73
<PAGE>   74

the Secured Parties shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Collateral Agent hereunder.

                  SECTION 7.2 Compensation and Indemnification of Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be compensated for its activities hereunder
and reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable
compensation and expenses of its counsel and agents) pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Subject to the terms of such letter agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be
required to pay the expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder from its own account. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any liabilities, costs
or expenses of the Debtor arising under any tax law, including without
limitation any Federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other
tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalties with respect
thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith).

                  The Debtor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent, its officers,
directors, employees and agents for, and hold it harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred without willful misconduct, gross negligence or
bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with (i) the acceptance
or administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and (ii) the
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Debtor in the performance of
its duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 7.3 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees to make the following
representations, warranties and covenants, and further agrees that the Secured
Parties shall be deemed to have relied upon such

                                       74
<PAGE>   75

representations, warranties and covenants in entering into this Agreement and
the Note Purchase Agreement.

                           (1) Organization and Good Standing. The Collateral
Agent is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and has full
corporate power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its
business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently
conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

                           (2) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and
performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Collateral Agent
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Collateral Agent.

                           (3) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Collateral Agent, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
hereinafter in effect, affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general
and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). (1)

                           (4) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Collateral Agent, and the performance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof
applicable to the Collateral Agent, will not conflict with, violate, result in
any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any Requirement of Law
applicable to the Collateral Agent or any indenture, contract, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Collateral Agent is a
party or by which it is bound.

                  SECTION 7.4 Liability of the Collateral Agent.

                           (1) The Collateral Agent shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Collateral Agent in such capacity herein. No implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent
and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished
to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

                           (2) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith, unless it shall be proved that the
Collateral Agent shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

                           (3) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of a Secured Party relating
to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement.

                           (4) The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of any Termination Event unless an officer personally familiar with
and currently responsible for administering this Agreement obtains actual
knowledge of such event or the Collateral Agent receives written notice of such
event from the Debtor, the Servicer, the Company or the Agent, as the case may
be.

                           (5) Without limiting the generality of this Section
7.4, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing
or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in
the Loans or the related Contracts, or to see to the maintenance of any such

                                       76
<PAGE>   77

recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing
of any thereof, except with respect to actions necessary to maintain the
Collateral Agent's priority position for Eligible Investments pursuant to
Section 4.7(c)(5), (ii) to see to any insurance of the Obligors or to effect or
maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any
kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Loans,
(iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the
Servicer or the Debtor delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this
Agreement believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties or (v) to inspect the Contracts at
any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the Debtor's or the Servicer's representations, warranties or covenants or the
Servicer's duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of books,
records, files and computer records relating to the Loans under the Servicing
Agreement.

                           (6) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Collateral Agent to perform, or be
responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement.

                           (7) The Collateral Agent may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, officer's
certificate, any Monthly Servicer's Certificate, certificate of auditors, or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to

                                       77
<PAGE>   78

be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

                           (8)  The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel
and any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under
this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel.

                           (9)  The Collateral Agent shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement
or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of a
Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Secured
Party shall have offered to the Collateral Agent reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby; nothing contained in this Agreement, however, shall relieve
the Collateral Agent of its obligations, upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event (that shall not have been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

                           (10) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement.

                           (11) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event
before the Collateral Agent has received notice of such Termination Event and
after the curing or waiving of all Termination Events that may have occurred,
the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond

                                       78
<PAGE>   79

or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Secured
Party; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Collateral Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the
Collateral Agent, not reasonably assured by the Debtor, the Collateral Agent may
require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination
shall be paid by the Debtor or, if paid by the Collateral Agent, shall be
reimbursed by the Debtor upon demand.

                           (12) The Collateral Agent may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such
agent or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder.

                  SECTION 7.5 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not consolidate
with or merge into any other corporation or convey or transfer its properties
and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless: SECTION 1.1

                                (1) the corporation formed by such consolidation
         or into which the Collateral Agent is merged or the Person which
         acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the
         Collateral Agent substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation
         organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
         or any State or the District of Columbia and, if the Collateral Agent
         is not the surviving entity, shall expressly assume, by an agreement
         supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Secured Parties in
         form satisfactory to the Secured Parties, the performance of every
         covenant and obligation of the Collateral Agent hereunder; and

                                       79
<PAGE>   80

                                (2) the Collateral Agent has delivered to the
         Secured Parties an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel each
         stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and
         such supplemental agreement comply with this Section 7.5 and that all
         conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction
         have been complied with.
