                                   ARTICLE II

                            CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

        SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Receivables. In consideration of the sale on
the Closing Date of $633,882,224 in Contract Balance of Receivables, the
Purchaser shall (i) deliver to or upon the order of the Seller an amount equal
to $613,493,112 in cash and (ii) accept a capital contribution from the Seller
equal to $20,389,112. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over
and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the
obligations herein), all right, title and interest in and to the following,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired:

               (a) all right, title and interest of the Seller, in and to the
        Receivables, and all moneys (including accrued interest) due thereunder
        on and after the Cut-off Date;

               (b) the interests of the Seller in the security interests in the
        Transaction Equipment granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables
        and any other interest of the Seller in such Transaction Equipment;

               (c) the interest and rights of the Seller in any proceeds with
        respect to the Receivables from claims on any physical damage, credit
        life or disability insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or
        Obligors, as the case may be;

               (d) the interest of the Seller in any proceeds of repossessed or
        returned Transaction Equipment;

               (e) the interest of the Seller in any proceeds from recourse to
        or other payments by Dealers on Receivables; and

               (f) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

        It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in this Agreement be,
and be construed as, a sale of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser. It is, further, not the intention of
the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Receivables by the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
However, in the event, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
Receivables are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Receivables
then, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; and (b) the conveyance provided for in this
Agreement shall be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest
in and to all of the Seller's right, title, and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in clauses (a) through (f)
above, in order to secure the obligations of the Seller hereunder. The
possession by the Custodian of the Contracts and other property shall be deemed
to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for purposes
of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without
limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314 thereof). Notifications to persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries,
bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, the Purchaser or its assignee (as
applicable) for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. In connection herewith, the Purchaser (or its assignee) shall
have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the
UCC.

        Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to this Section
2.01 shall also be an assignment of the security interest created hereby. The
Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement creates
a security interest in or lien on the Receivables, such security interest or
lien would be a perfected security interest or lien of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement.

        SECTION 2.02. Ownership and Custody of Receivables Files.

               (a) Upon the acceptance by the Seller of the amount set forth in
        Section 2.01, the ownership of each Receivable and the contents of the
        related Receivables File shall be vested in the Purchaser.

               (b) In connection with the sale of the Receivables, pursuant to
        Section 2.01, the Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered each
        Receivables File to the Custodian on behalf of the Purchaser.

        SECTION 2.03. Books and Records.

        The transfer of each Receivable shall be reflected on the Seller's
balance sheets and other financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as a sale of assets by the Seller to
the Purchaser. The Seller shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall
maintain, a complete and accurate set of accounts, records and computer files
for each Receivable which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of
each Receivable by the Purchaser.

                                       4
<PAGE>

        SECTION 2.04. Custody of Receivable Files. The Purchaser has appointed
the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, and the Custodian thereby
accepted such appointment, to act as custodian of the Receivables Files.

        SECTION 2.05. Acceptance by Purchaser of the Receivables; Certification
by the Indenture Trustee.

               (a) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges constructive receipt of,
        through the Custodian, for each Receivable, a Receivables File in the
        form delivered to it by the Seller, and declares that it will hold such
        documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto, as
        well as any other assets transferred pursuant to the terms hereof.
        Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement
        and this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will, for the benefit of the
        Purchaser, review (or cause to be reviewed) each of the documents in the
        Receivables Files within 45 days after the Closing Date and to deliver a
        final certification in the form attached to the Sale and Servicing
        Agreement as Exhibit C-2 to the effect that, as to each Receivable
        listed in the Schedule of Receivables (other than any Receivable paid in
        full or any Receivable specifically identified in such certification as
        not covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be
        delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii)
        such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
        damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions,
        changes or corrections shall not constitute physical alteration if
        initialed by the Obligor) and relate to such Receivable, and (iii) based
        on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
        information set forth on the Schedule of Receivables accurately reflects
        the information set forth in the Receivables File. Pursuant to the Sale
        and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and this Agreement, the
        Indenture Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,
        review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other
        papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate
        for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they
        purport to be on their face.

               (b) If the Indenture Trustee during the process of reviewing the
        Receivable Files finds any document constituting a part of a Receivable
        File which is not executed, has not been received, is unrelated to the
        related Receivable identified on Schedule A hereto, or does not conform
        to the requirements of Section 3.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
        or substantively to the description thereof as set forth in the Schedule
        of Receivables, the Indenture Trustee is required in the Sale and
        Servicing Agreement to promptly give notice of same. In performing any
        such review, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Seller
        as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature
        thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Indenture Trustee's
        review of the Receivable Files is limited solely to confirming that the
        documents listed in Section 2.04 have been executed and received and
        relate to the Receivable Files identified in the Schedule of
        Receivables. The Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause to be
        remedied a material defect in a document constituting part of a
        Receivables File of which it is so notified by the Indenture Trustee.
        If, however, within 60 days after receipt by it of notice with respect
        to such defect the Seller has not caused to be remedied any defect
        described in such final certification and such defect materially and
        adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser in the related
        Receivable, the Seller shall remit the

                                       5
<PAGE>

        Purchase Amount to the Purchaser. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the
        Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the
        Certificateholder with respect to a breach shall be to require the
        Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to
        the conditions contained herein. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to
        conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any
        condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this
        Section.

        SECTION 2.06. The Closing.

        The conveyance of the Receivables shall take place at the offices of
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 666 5th Avenue, 23rd Floor, New York, New
York 10103, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the underwriting
agreements related to the Notes and the other Basic Documents.

               properties which (A) assert the invalidity of this Agreement, (B)
               seek to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions

               have been obtained or have been completed and are in full force
               and effect (other than approvals, authorizations, consents,
               orders or other actions which if not obtained or completed or in
               full force and effect would not have a material adverse effect on
               the Seller or upon the collectability of any Receivable or upon
               the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this
               Agreement).

               (b) The Seller makes the following representations and warranties
        as to the Receivables on which the Purchaser relied in accepting the
        Receivables. The parties hereto acknowledge that the representations and
        warranties below require the Seller to monitor conditions that it may
        not have the ability to monitor. Accordingly, wherever the Seller makes,
        or is deemed to make, a representation that it cannot monitor, such
        representation shall be made as if prefaced with the phrase "to the best
        of the Seller's knowledge"; provided, however, that the determination as
        to whether a Repurchase Event has occurred pursuant to Section 6.02 of
        this Agreement shall be made without reliance on whether the Seller
        actually had knowledge of the accuracy of any of its representations.
        Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and
        delivery of this Agreement but shall survive the sale, transfer and
        assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and the subsequent
        assignments and transfers of the Receivables pursuant to the Sale and
        Servicing Agreement and the Indenture:

                      (i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable (A)
               was originated in the United States of America by the Seller in
               the ordinary course of business or was originated by a Dealer in
               the ordinary course of business, in each case in connection with
               the retail sale by a Dealer of Financed Equipment in the ordinary
               course of such Dealer's business, was fully and properly executed
               by the parties thereto, and if originated by such Dealer, was
               purchased by the Seller from such Dealer and was validly assigned
               by such Dealer to the Seller in accordance with its terms, (B)
               has created a valid, subsisting and enforceable (subject to
               paragraph

                                       8
<PAGE>

               (iv) below) first priority security interest in favor of the
               Seller in the Financed Equipment, and if applicable, a valid,
               subsisting and enforceable (subject to paragraph (iv) below)
               security interest in favor of the Seller in the
               Cross-Collateralized Equipment, which security interests are
               assignable by the Seller to the Purchaser, by the Purchaser to
               the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, (C)
               contains customary and enforceable (subject to paragraph (iv)
               below) provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder
               thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of
               the benefits of the security, and (D) provides for fixed payments
               (except as described below) on a periodic basis, yields interest
               at a fixed-rate (in the case of Receivables related to an
               Installment Sales Contract) and is prepayable without premium or
               penalty at any time. The fixed payments provided for are
               sufficient to amortize the Amount Financed of such Receivable by
               maturity and yield interest at the APR. (ii) Schedule of
               Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of
               Receivables to this Agreement is true and correct in all material
               respects as of the opening of business on the Cut-off Date and no
               selection procedures believed to be adverse to the Noteholders or
               the Certificateholder were utilized in selecting the Receivables.
               The computer tape regarding the Receivables made available to the
               Purchaser and its assigns is true and correct in all respects.

                      (iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and the sale or
               lease of the Financed Equipment complied at the time it was
               originated or made, and at the execution of this Agreement
               complies in all material respects, with all requirements of
               applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations
               thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending
               Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting
               Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade
               Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal
               Reserve Board's Regulations B and S, and other equal credit
               opportunity and disclosure laws.

                      (iv) Binding Obligations. Each Receivable represents the
               genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing
               of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof (which as of
               the Closing Date is the Seller) in accordance with its terms,
               subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws relating to the
               enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general
               principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is
               considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such
               enforceability has not been and is not adversely affected by
               whether or not the Seller was or is qualified to do business in
               the state in which the Obligor was or is located.

                      (v) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately
               prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each
               Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority
               security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of the
               Seller as secured party.

                      (vi) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been
               satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed
               Equipment been released from the lien granted by the related
               Receivable in whole or in part. No Receivable is rescindable on
               the basis of whether or not the Seller was or is qualified to do
               business in the state in which the Obligor was or is located.

                      (vii) Prospectus Information. As of the Cut-off Date, each
               Receivable conforms and all Receivables in the aggregate conform,
               in all material respects, to the description set forth in the
               Prospectus, including all statistical data or otherwise.

                      (viii) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended such
               that the amount of the Obligor's Scheduled Payments has been
               increased or decreased, except for increases or decreases
               resulting from the inclusion of any premium for forced-placed
               physical damage insurance covering the Financed Equipment.

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

                      (x) No Liens. No liens or claims have been filed for work,
               labor or materials relating to any Financed Equipment that are
               liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security
               interest in the Financed Equipment granted by the Receivable.

                      (xi) No Default. No Receivable has a payment that is more
               than 31 days overdue as of the Cut-off Date and, except as
               permitted in this paragraph, no default, breach, violation or
               event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable
               has occurred and is continuing; and (except for payment defaults
               continuing for a period of not more than 31 days) no continuing
               condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute
               a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration
               under the terms of any Receivable has arisen; and the Seller has
               not waived and shall not waive any of the foregoing.

                      (xii) Insurance. The Seller, in accordance with its
               customary procedures, has determined that the Obligor has
               obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed
               Equipment, and under the terms of the Receivable the Obligor is
               required to maintain such insurance.

                      (xiii) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the
               transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of
               the Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser, and that the
               beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part
               of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
               petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No
               Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the
               Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser. Immediately prior
               to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller
               has good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear
               of all Liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of
               others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Purchaser
               shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and
               clear of all Liens, tax, governmental or similar liens,
               encumbrances, security interests and rights of others; and the
               transfer of the Receivables to the Purchaser has been perfected
               under the UCC.

                      (xiv) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated
               in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which
               the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable or any
               Receivable under this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement
               or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.

                      (xv) All Actions Taken. All actions necessary to give the
               Purchaser a first priority perfected ownership interest in the
               Receivables pursuant to the applicable UCC have been taken.

                      (xvi) Leases. Each Lease, relating to any Receivable (A)
               creates a security interest rather than a lease for purposes of
               Section 1-201 of the UCC, (B) is not a "consumer lease" within
               the meaning of Article 2A of the UCC in any jurisdiction where
               said Article 2A has been adopted and governs the construction
               thereof, (C) to the best knowledge of Seller, the related Obligor
               has accepted the related Financed Equipment leased to it and has
               not notified Seller of any defects therein, (D) is by its terms
               an absolute and unconditional obligation of the related Obligor,
               non-cancelable and except in certain instances involving loss or
               damage to the related Financed Equipment, non-prepayable prior to
               the expiration of the initial term of such Lease of the related
               Obligor, (E) requires the related Obligor to maintain the related
               Financed Equipment for its own account, (F) the rights with
               respect to such Lease are assignable by the Seller thereunder
               without the consent of any Person, (G) is net to the Seller of
               any maintenance, taxes, insurance or other expenses and (H)
               contains provisions requiring the related Obligor to assume all
               risk of loss or malfunction of the related Financed Equipment.

                      (xvii) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has a
               final scheduled payment date due not later than June 2007 as of
               the Cut-off Date and the weighted average remaining term of the
               Receivables is 37 months as of the Cut-off Date.

                      (xviii) Location of Receivable Files. The Receivable Files
               are kept at the location listed in Schedule B to the Sale and
               Servicing Agreement.

                      (xix) Outstanding Contract Balance. Each Receivable has an
               outstanding Contract Balance of at least $5,004.00 as of the
               Cut-off Date.

                      (xx) No Bankruptcies. No Obligor on any Receivable as of
               the Cut-off Date was noted in the related Receivable File as
               having filed for bankruptcy or as being subject to a bankruptcy
               proceeding and to the Seller's knowledge no such proceeding is
               pending or threatened against any Obligor.

                      (xxi) No Repossessions. No Financed Equipment securing any
               Receivable is in repossession status.

                      (xxii) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes
               "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of the UCC of the
               States of New York and Nevada.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                      (xxiii) Obligors. None of the Receivables is due from any
               Person which does not have a mailing address in the United States
               of America. No Receivable is due from the United States of
               America or any State or from any agency, department,
               instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of
               America or any State.

                      (xxiv) One Original. There is only one Original Contract
               related to each Receivable. With respect to each Receivable, the
               Seller has a perfected, first priority ownership or security
               interest in such Receivable, free and clear of all Liens,
               encumbrances, security interests or rights of others.

                      (xxv) Payment Frequency. As of the Cut-off Date and as
               shown on the books of the Seller, Receivables having an aggregate
               Contract Balance equal to approximately 78.5% of the aggregate
               Contract Balance of all Receivables had monthly scheduled
               payments; and as of the Cut-off Date and as shown on the books of
               the Seller, Receivables having an aggregate Contract Balance
               equal to approximately 21.5% of the aggregate Contract Balance of
               all Receivables had scheduled payments which have monthly
               scheduled payments other than certain months specified therein
               for which payment is skipped.

                      (xxvi) Interest Accrual. Each Receivable related to an
               Installment Sales Contract is, as of the Closing Date, accruing
               interest.

                      (xxvii) Notification of Obligors. With respect to each
               Dealer Receivable, the related Obligor has been notified with
               respect to the assignment of the related Contract to the Seller.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                   CONDITIONS

obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Receivables is subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:

               (a) Representations and Warranties True. The representations and
        warranties of the Seller hereunder shall be true and correct on the
        Closing Date with the same effect as if then made, and the Seller shall
        have performed all obligations to be performed by it hereunder on or
        prior to the Closing Date.

               (b) Computer Files Marked. The Seller shall, at its own expense

                    COVENANTS OF THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER

        The Seller and the Purchaser agree with each other as follows; provided,
however, that to the extent that any provision of this Article conflicts with
any provision of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement shall govern:

        SECTION 5.01. Protection of Right, Title and Interest. (a) Further
Assurances. The Seller shall take all actions to preserve and protect the right,
title and interest of the Purchaser in and to the Receivables and the other

with the Seller in connection with the obligations set forth above and will
execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the purpose of this
paragraph.

               (b) Name Change. Within 15 days after the Seller makes any change
        in its name or type or jurisdiction of organization, the Seller shall
        give the Purchaser notice of any such change.

        SECTION 5.02. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances
hereunder and pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and
the other Basic Documents, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer
to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on,
any interest in, to and under the Receivables, and the Seller shall defend the
right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the Receivables
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller or any
Dealer; provided, however, that the Seller's obligations under this Section
shall terminate one year and one day after the termination of the Trust pursuant
to the Trust Agreement.

        SECTION 5.03. Chief Executive Office. During the term of the
Receivables, the Seller will maintain its chief executive office in one of the
United States.

        SECTION 5.04. Corporate Existence. (a) During the term of this

rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of Nevada and will obtain
and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Basic Documents and each other instrument
or agreement necessary or appropriate to the proper administration of this
Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.

               (b) The Seller will not take any action or fail to take any
        action if such act or omission would cause the Purchaser not to observe
        the covenants set forth in Section 5.04(c) of this Agreement or to
        violate the provisions of the Purchaser's certificate of incorporation.

               (c) The Purchaser and the Seller agree that Purchaser's and the
        Seller's businesses shall be conducted as follows, and neither Purchaser
        nor the Seller shall take any action or fail to take any action if such
        act or omission would cause such businesses not to be conducted as
        follows:

                                       14
<PAGE>

                      (i) The Purchaser will maintain both an office at which
               its business is and will be conducted and a telephone number
               separate from the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

                      (ii) At least two of the Purchaser's directors are not and
               will not be directors, officers or employees of the Seller or any
               of the Seller's Affiliates. No employee of the Purchaser shall
               engage in any servicing functions with respect to the Receivables
               and, with respect to the Purchaser, shall only engage in
               corporate governance and clerical functions. So long as the
               Purchaser maintains an employee at its office, the Purchaser
               shall at all times maintain comprehensive liability and workmen's
               compensation insurance (as is customary for commercial
               enterprises) in an amount, when taking into account any available
               umbrella policy, at least equal to $5,000,000.

                      (iii) The Purchaser will maintain corporate records and
               books and accounts separate from those of the Seller or any of
               the Seller's Affiliates.

                      (iv) Except as expressly permitted by the Sale and
               Servicing Agreement with respect to collections on the
               Receivables prior to the transfer of such collections to the
               Collection Account, the Purchaser's funds will not be commingled
               with those of the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates, and
               the Purchaser shall maintain bank accounts separate from those of
               the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

                      (v) The Seller shall maintain records permitting a
               determination on a daily basis of the amount and location of any
               of its funds which are commingled as permitted under clause (iv)
               above.

                      (vi) The Board of Directors of the Purchaser will take
               appropriate corporate action (including without limitation
               holding meetings or acting by unanimous consent) to authorize all
               of the Purchaser's corporate actions, and minutes shall be
               maintained by the Purchaser separate and apart from those of the
               Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

                      (vii) The Purchaser shall at all times be adequately
               capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated at its
               formation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser shall at
               all times maintain capital sufficient to pay its rent, salary of
               any employee, and any required insurance from the Closing Date
               until the Certificate Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

                      (viii) The Purchaser shall not incur or guarantee any debt
               other than under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, nor shall the
               Purchaser make any loans, pledge its assets for the benefit of
               any other entity or hold out its credit as being available to
               satisfy the obligations of others, other than as permitted by the
               Purchaser's Certificate of Incorporation.

                      (ix) The Purchaser shall not engage in any transaction
               with the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates on terms more
               favorable than in a similar transaction involving a third party.

                      (x) The Purchaser shall at all times use its own
               stationery.

                      (xi) The Purchaser shall always be described as a separate
               corporation, and never as a department, division or otherwise of
               the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

                      (xii) The Purchaser shall act solely in its own corporate
               name and through its own authorized officers and agents. Neither
               the Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's Affiliates shall be
               appointed agent of the Seller, except as expressly provided for
               by the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Administration
               Agreement.

                      (xiii) The data and records (including computer records)
               used by the Purchaser or the Seller in the collection and
               administration of the Receivables shall reflect the Purchaser's
               ownership interest therein.

                      (xiv) Other than organizational expenses, the Purchaser
               shall be responsible for the payment of all expenses including
               the salaries of its employees, indebtedness and other obligations
               incurred by it, including a fair and reasonable allocation for
               shared office space.

                      (xv) The Purchaser shall at all times hold itself out to
               the public under the Purchaser's own name as a legal entity
               separate and distinct from the Seller and any of the Seller's
               Affiliates and shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding
               its separate identity.

                      (xvi) None of the Purchaser's funds nor any of the funds
               held by the Seller on behalf of the Purchaser or the holders of
               the Certificate or the Notes shall be invested in securities
               issued by the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates.

                      The Purchaser shall at all times maintain a sufficient
               number of employees in light of its contemplated business
               operations.

        long as any Certificate or Note remains outstanding an Officer's
        Certificate to the effect that all of its obligations under this Section
        5.04 have been fulfilled throughout the preceding calendar year (or the
        period from the Closing Date until December 31, 2002, as applicable),
        or, if there has

                                       16
<PAGE>

        been any default in the fulfillment of any such obligations, specifying
        each such default known to the signer thereof and the nature and status
        thereof.

               (e) The Seller will not transfer or assign any interest in the
        Purchaser except pursuant to an instrument under which the transferee or

originated in compliance with all requirements of law and for any breach of any
of its representations and warranties contained herein, other than the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.02(b) for which the
sole remedy shall be provided by Section 6.02 hereof; provided, however, that
the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for any liability arising from a breach
of Section 3.02(b)(ii), (iii) and (xxv). These indemnity obligations shall be in
addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have.

                                   ARTICLE VI

occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller's representations and warranties
contained in Section 3.02(b) (other than the representation and warranty
contained in Section 3.02(b)(xxv)) in respect of a Receivable shall constitute
an event obligating the Seller to repurchase such Receivable ("Repurchase
Events"), at the Purchase Amount from the Purchaser or from the Trust.

               (b) These repurchase obligations of the Seller shall constitute
        the sole remedies to the Purchaser, the Indenture Trustee, the
        Noteholders, the Owner Trustee or the Certificateholder against the
        Seller with respect to any Repurchase Event.

               (c) The terms and conditions of the Purchaser's obligation to

and such rights to the Indenture Trustee and (c) the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement and the rights of the Purchaser under
this Agreement, including under Section 6.02, are intended to benefit the Trust,
the Certificateholder and the Noteholders (and may be enforced directly by the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and by the Owner Trustee on
behalf of the Trust or the Certificateholder). The Seller hereby consents to all
such sales and assignments.

        SECTION 6.05. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to

Certificate.

        SECTION 6.06. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser
in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or the Assignment
