                         W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee have entered into that certain
Indenture dated as of April 24, 1998 (the "Indenture"), for the equal and

amount of the Securities outstanding to an amendment to the Indenture and Finlay

     NOW THEREFORE, for the purpose of memorializing the amendment to the
Indenture so consented to by the Holders of the Securities, the parties hereto
do hereby agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Definitions and Terms.

     Unless otherwise defined herein, all initially capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

     SECTION 2. Amendment to Indenture.

     Section 4.09(b)(iv) of the Indenture is amended to read in its entirety as
follows (CHANGED TEXT IS SHOWN IN BOLD AND DOUBLE UNDERLINED):

          "(iv) the incurrence by Finlay Jewelry of Indebtedness or other
     obligations in an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of (x)

     Gold Consignment Agreement or (b) a substantially similar gold consignment
     agreement that Finlay Jewelry may enter into subsequent to the date of this
     Indenture which provides for the transfer of title to the gold content of
     Consignment Inventory from the relevant vendor to a gold consignor;
     provided that such $50.0 million specified in clause (x) above shall be
     permanently reduced by the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset
     Sales applied to repay such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(i)
     hereof;"

     SECTION 3. Ratification of Indenture, as Amended.

     The Indenture, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed and
continues in full force and effect.

     This First Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon the execution
hereof by the Company and the Trustee, the Company having delivered to the
Trustee evidence of consent from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate

         MASTER INDENTURE, dated as of [        ], 2002 (the "Indenture"),
between FIRST NATIONAL MASTER NOTE TRUST, a business trust organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware ("Issuer"), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York
banking corporation, as indenture trustee ("Indenture Trustee"). The Indenture
may be supplemented at any time and from time to time by an indenture supplement
in accordance with Article X (an "Indenture Supplement," and together with the
Indenture and any amendments, the "Agreement"). If a conflict exists between the
terms and provisions of the Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, the terms
and provisions of the Indenture Supplement shall be controlling with respect to
the related Series.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

         Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture

Transferor will convey to Issuer all of its right, title and interest in, to and
under (i) the Collateral Certificate, which Transferor will have received from
Certificate Trust pursuant to the Collateral Series Supplement, and (ii) on and
after the Certificate Trust Termination Date, the Receivables arising in the
Accounts from time to time, which Transferor will have received from FNBO
pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and (b) Servicer will agree to
service the Receivables and make collections thereon on behalf of the
Noteholders on and after the Certificate Trust Termination Date.

Collateral Certificate, (b) the Receivables, (c) Collections and Recoveries
related to and all money, instruments, investment property and other property

distributions from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed or
distributable thereto or in respect thereof (including any accrued discount
realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); (e) all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of Issuer under or with respect
to any Enhancement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (whether arising
pursuant to the terms of the related Enhancement Agreement or the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement or otherwise available to Issuer at law or in equity),
including the rights of Issuer to enforce such

<PAGE>

Enhancement Agreement or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and to give or
withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals,
extensions or waivers under or with respect to such Enhancement Agreement or the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement to the same extent as Issuer could but for the
assignment and security interest granted to Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Noteholders; (f) all Insurance Proceeds; (g) all proceeds of any derivative
contracts between Issuer and a counterparty, as described in any Indenture
Supplement; (h) all money, accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, goods, investment property, deposit accounts, letters of
credit, and letter-of-credit rights consisting of, arising from or related to
the foregoing; (i) all other property of Issuer; (j) all present and future
claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the
foregoing and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature
whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds,
products, rents, receipts or profits of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, into cash or other property, all cash and non-cash proceeds, and
other property consisting of, arising from or relating to all or any part of any
of the foregoing; and (k) any proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Collateral").

                                LIMITED RECOURSE

         The obligation of Issuer to make payments of principal, interest and
other amounts in respect of the Notes is limited by recourse only to the
Collateral.

         Section, clause or other subdivision within any Section or definition

<PAGE>

         or definition; (vii) the term "including" means "including without

         the provision is incorporated by reference in and made a part of the
         Indenture. The following TIA terms used in the Indenture have the

the meanings assigned to them by such definitions.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                    THE NOTES

         SECTION 2.01. FORM GENERALLY. Any Series or Class of Notes, together
with Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication related thereto, may be
issued in bearer form (the "Bearer Notes") with attached interest coupons and a
special coupon (collectively, the "Coupons") or in fully registered form (the
"Registered Notes") and shall be in substantially the form of an exhibit to the
related Indenture Supplement with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture
or such Indenture Supplement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may,
consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as
evidenced by their execution of such Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note
may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto
on the face of the Note. The terms of any Notes set forth in an exhibit to the
related Indenture Supplement are part of the terms of the Indenture, as
applicable.

         The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods, all as determined by
the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such
Notes.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Each Note will be dated the related Closing Date and each Definitive
Note will be dated as of the date of its authentication.

         SECTION 2.02. DENOMINATIONS. Except as otherwise specified in the
related Indenture Supplement and the Notes, each class of Notes of each Series
shall be issued in fully registered form in minimum amounts of $1,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except that one Note of each
Class may be issued in a different amount, so long as such amount exceeds the
applicable minimum denomination for such Class), and shall be issued upon
initial issuance as one or more Notes in an aggregate original principal amount
equal to the applicable Note Principal Balance for such Class or Series.

         SECTION 2.03. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY. Each Note shall
be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of Issuer by an
Authorized Officer.

         Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who
was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf
of Issuer shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding the fact that such
individual ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Notes or does not hold such office at the date of issuance of such
Notes.

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
the Indenture, Issuer may deliver Notes executed by Issuer to Indenture Trustee
for authentication and delivery, and Indenture Trustee shall authenticate at the
written direction of Issuer and deliver such Notes as provided in the Indenture
or the related Indenture Supplement and not otherwise.

         No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or the
applicable Indenture Supplement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein or in the related Indenture Supplement executed
by or on behalf of Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of a duly
authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

         SECTION 2.04. AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

                  (a) Indenture Trustee, at the expense of Issuer, may appoint
         one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Notes which shall
         be authorized to act on behalf of Indenture Trustee in authenticating
         the Notes in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of
         transfer, exchange or repayment of the Notes. Whenever reference is
         made in the Indenture to the authentication of Notes by Indenture
         Trustee or Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication, such
         reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of
         Indenture Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of
         authentication executed on behalf of Indenture Trustee by an
         authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent must be acceptable to
         Issuer and Servicer.

                  (b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency
         business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an
         authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any power or
         any further act on the part of Indenture Trustee or such authenticating
         agent.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving
         written notice of resignation to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and
         Servicer. Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an
         authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such
         authenticating agent and to Issuer and Servicer. Upon receiving such a
         notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any
         time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to Indenture
         Trustee or Issuer and Servicer, Indenture Trustee may promptly appoint
         a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent
         upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with
         all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with
         like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No
         successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to
         Issuer and Servicer.

                  (d) Issuer agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from
         time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this
         Section 2.04.

                  (e) The provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.04 shall be
         applicable to any authenticating agent.

                  (f) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 2.04,
         the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of or in addition to
         Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
         certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

                  "This is one of the Notes described in the within-mentioned
Agreement.

                  as Authenticating Agent
                  for Indenture Trustee

                  By:

                  Authorized Signatory"

                  Dated:
                         ---------------------

         SECTION 2.05. REGISTRATION OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
OF NOTES. Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in
which Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of
transfers of Notes. Indenture Trustee initially shall be Transfer Agent and
Registrar (in such capacity, the "Transfer Agent and Registrar") for the purpose
of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Transfer Agent and Registrar, Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of
Transfer Agent and Registrar.

         If a Person other than Indenture Trustee is appointed by Issuer as
Transfer Agent and Registrar, Issuer will give Indenture Trustee prompt written
notice of the appointment of a Transfer Agent and Registrar and of the location,
and any change in the location, of Transfer Agent and Registrar and Note

                                       5
<PAGE>
Register. Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at
all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of
Transfer Agent and Registrar by an officer thereof as to the names and addresses
of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and numbers of such Notes.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of Transfer Agent and Registrar, to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.02, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met as
certified by Issuer to Indenture Trustee, Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt
of such surrendered Note, Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations of
like aggregate principal amount.

         At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes
(of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations and of like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the
office or agency of Transfer Agent and Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are
met as certified by Issuer to Indenture Trustee, Issuer shall execute, and upon
receipt of such surrendered Note, Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

         All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall evidence the same obligations, evidence the same debt, and be entitled to
the same rights and privileges under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

         Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in a form satisfactory to Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and by
such other documents as Indenture Trustee may reasonably require.

         Any Note held by Transferor at any time after the date of its initial
issuance may be transferred or exchanged only upon the delivery to the Owner
Trustee and Indenture Trustee of a Tax Opinion dated as of the date of such
transfer or exchange, as the case may be, with respect to such transfer or
exchange.

         The registration of transfer of any Note shall be subject to the
additional requirements, if any, set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but Issuer and Transfer Agent and Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
such Notes.

         All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall
be canceled by Issuer and delivered to Indenture Trustee for subsequent
destruction without liability on the part of either. Indenture Trustee shall
destroy the Global Note upon its exchange in full for Definitive Notes and shall
deliver a certificate of destruction to Transferor. Such certificate shall also
state that a certificate or certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency
referred to in the

                                       6
<PAGE>

applicable Indenture Supplement was received with respect to each portion of the
Global Note exchanged for Definitive Notes.

         The preceding provisions of this Section 2.05 notwithstanding, Issuer
shall not be required to make, and Transfer Agent and Registrar need not
register, transfers or exchanges of Notes for a period of twenty (20) days
preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

         If and so long as any Series of Notes are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, Issuer shall appoint a
co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or another European city. Any
reference in the Indenture to Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any
co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires.
Indenture Trustee will enter into any appropriate agency agreement with any
co-transfer agent and co-registrar not a party to the Indenture, which will
implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate to such agent.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, with respect to
any Notes for which an Opinion of Counsel has not been issued opining on the
treatment of such Notes as debt for federal income tax purposes, no transfer (or
purported transfer) of all or any part of such Notes (or any economic interest
therein) shall be effective, and any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall
be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder of such Notes
if (i) at the time of transfer (or purported transfer) such Notes are traded on
an established securities market or readily tradeable on a secondary market or
(ii) after such transfer (or purported transfer) the Trust would have more than
95 Holders of such Notes and any other interests in the Trust for which an
Opinion of Counsel is not rendered in connection with the issuance of such
interest to the effect that such interest will be characterized as debt for
federal income tax purposes. For purposes of determining whether the Trust will
have more than 95 Holders, each Person indirectly owning an interest in the
Trust through a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes), a grantor trust or an S corporation (each such
entity a "flow through entity") shall be treated as a Holder unless the Servicer
determines, after consulting with qualified tax counsel, that less than
substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner's interest in the
flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity's interest
(direct or indirect) in the Trust.

         SECTION 2.06. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES. If (a) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to Indenture Trustee, or Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (b) in case of destruction, loss, or theft there is delivered to
Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold
Issuer, the Noteholders, Indenture Trustee and Transfer Agent and Registrar
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to Issuer, Transfer Agent and Registrar
or Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser
(as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Nebraska),
Issuer shall execute, and Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and
principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided,
however, that if any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have
become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been
selected or called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, Issuer
may pay such Note without surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note
shall be surrendered. If,

                                       7
<PAGE>

after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or
stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected
purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC as in effect in the State of
Nebraska) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such
Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such
Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the
security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost
or expense incurred by Issuer or Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

         Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.06,
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
Indenture Trustee or Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith.

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of an obligation of the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note
shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

         SECTION 2.07. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, Issuer, Transferor, Indenture Trustee and
any agent of Issuer, Transferor or Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indenture
Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is
overdue, and neither Issuer, Transferor, Indenture Trustee nor any agent of
Issuer, Transferor or Indenture Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

         SECTION 2.08. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.

                  (a) Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate
         the appointment of a Paying Agent for the Notes, and to appoint
         additional or other Paying Agents, provided that it will at all times
         maintain Indenture Trustee as a Paying Agent.

                  If and so long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
         Exchange and such exchange shall so require, Issuer will appoint a
         co-paying agent in Luxembourg or another European city. Indenture
         Trustee will enter into any appropriate agency agreement with any
         co-paying agent not a party to the Indenture, which will implement the
         provisions of the Indenture that relate to such agent.

                  Notice of all changes in the identity or specified office of a
         Paying Agent will be delivered promptly to the Noteholders by Indenture
         Trustee.

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  (b) Indenture Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent (other
         than itself) to execute and deliver to Indenture Trustee an instrument
         in which such Paying Agent shall agree with Indenture Trustee that such
         Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the
         Noteholders in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders entitled
         thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Noteholders and shall
         agree, and if Indenture Trustee is Paying Agent it hereby agrees, that
         it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the
         withholding by Indenture Trustee of payments in respect of federal
         income taxes due from the Note Owners.

         SECTION 2.09. ACCESS TO LIST OF NOTEHOLDERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES.

                  (a) Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to Indenture
         Trustee, Servicer or Paying Agent, within five (5) Business Days after
         receipt by Issuer of a written request therefor from Indenture Trustee,
         Servicer or Paying Agent, respectively, a list of the names and
         addresses of the Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the related
         Indenture Supplement, the Holders of not less than 10% of the principal
         balance of the Outstanding Notes of any Series (the "Applicants") may
         apply in writing to Indenture Trustee, and if such application states
         that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders of any
         Series with respect to their rights under the Indenture or under the
         Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
         Applicants propose to transmit, then Indenture Trustee, after having
         been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and
         expenses, shall afford or shall cause Transfer Agent and Registrar to
         afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most
         recent list of Noteholders held by Indenture Trustee and shall give
         Servicer notice that such request has been made, within five (5)
         Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be
         as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of
         receipt of such Applicants' request.

                  (b) Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees
         that none of Issuer, Indenture Trustee, Transfer Agent and Registrar
         and Servicer or any of their respective agents and employees shall be
         held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as
         to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of
         the sources from which such information was derived.

         SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than Indenture Trustee, be delivered to Indenture Trustee and shall
be promptly canceled by it. Issuer may at any time deliver to Indenture Trustee
for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which Issuer may have acquired in any lawful manner whatsoever, and all Notes so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in
this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by the Indenture. All canceled
Notes held by Indenture Trustee shall be disposed of by it in its customary
manner unless Issuer shall direct Indenture Trustee in a timely manner that they
be returned to Issuer.

         SECTION 2.11. NEW ISSUANCES.

                  (a) Pursuant to one or more Indenture Supplements, Transferor
         may from time to time direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of Issuer, to
         issue one or more new Series of Notes (a "New Issuance"). The Notes of
         all outstanding Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as
         provided herein to the benefits of the Indenture without preference,
         priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and
         provisions of the Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement
         except, with respect to any Series or Class, as provided in the related
         Indenture Supplement. Interest on and principal of the Notes of each
         outstanding Series shall be paid as specified in the Indenture
         Supplement relating to such outstanding Series.

                  (b) On or before the Closing Date relating to any new Series
         of Notes, the parties hereto will execute and deliver an Indenture
         Supplement which will specify the Principal Terms of such Series. The
         terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of the
         Indenture solely as applied to such new Series. The obligation of the
         Owner Trustee to execute, on behalf of Issuer, the Notes of any Series
         and of Indenture Trustee to authenticate such Notes (other than any
         Series issued pursuant to an Indenture Supplement dated as of the date
         hereof) and to execute and deliver the related Indenture Supplement is
         subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

                           (i) on or before the fifth Business Day immediately
                  preceding the Closing Date, Transferor shall have given Owner
                  Trustee, Indenture Trustee, Servicer and each Rating Agency
                  notice (unless such notice requirement is otherwise waived) of
                  such issuance and the Closing Date;

                           (ii) Transferor shall have delivered to Owner Trustee
                  and Indenture Trustee any related Indenture Supplement, in
                  form satisfactory to Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee,
                  executed by each party hereto (other than Indenture Trustee);

                           (iii) Transferor shall have delivered to Owner
                  Trustee and Indenture Trustee any related Enhancement
                  Agreement executed by Transferor and Enhancement Provider;

                           (iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
                  satisfied with respect to such issuance;

                           (v) Transferor shall have delivered to Owner Trustee
                  and Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate, dated the
                  Closing Date to the effect that Transferor reasonably believes
                  that such issuance will not, based on the facts known to such
                  officer at the time of such certification have an Adverse
                  Effect;

                           (vi) Transferor shall have delivered to Owner Trustee
                  and Indenture Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency) a
                  Tax Opinion, dated the Closing Date with respect to such
                  issuance;

                           (vii) Transferor shall have delivered to Owner
                  Trustee and Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating
                  that the Transferor Interest shall not be less

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  than the Minimum Transferor Interest as of the Closing Date
                  and after giving effect to such issuance; and

                           (viii) unless Certificate Trust has terminated, all
                  of the conditions set forth in Section 6.09 of the Pooling and
                  Servicing Agreement have been met.

                  (c) Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, pursuant to
         Section 2.03, Owner Trustee, on behalf of Issuer, shall execute and
         Indenture Trustee shall upon written direction of Issuer authenticate
         and deliver the Notes of such Series as provided in the Indenture and
         the applicable Indenture Supplement.

                  (d) Issuer may direct Indenture Trustee in writing to deposit
         the net proceeds from any New Issuance in the Excess Funding Account.
         Issuer may also specify that on any Transfer Date the proceeds from the
         sale of any new Series may be withdrawn from the Excess Funding Account
         and treated as Excess Principal Collections.

         SECTION 2.12. BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. Unless otherwise provided in any
related Indenture Supplement, the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of typewritten or printed Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes to
be delivered to the depository specified in such Indenture Supplement which
shall be the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of such
Series.

         The Notes of each Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the
related Indenture Supplement, initially be registered in the Note Register in
the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for
such Book-Entry Notes and shall be delivered to Indenture Trustee or, pursuant
to such Clearing Agency's or Foreign Clearing Agency's instructions held by
Indenture Trustee's agent as custodian for the Clearing Agency or Foreign
Clearing Agency.

         Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued under the limited
circumstances described in Section 2.14, no Note Owner shall be entitled to
receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note.
Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the Note Owners pursuant
to Section 2.14:

                  (a) the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be in full force
         and effect with respect to each such Series;

                  (b) Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the
         Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency
         Participants for all purposes of the Indenture (including the payment
         of principal of and interest on the Notes of each such Series) as the
         authorized representatives of the Note Owners;

                  (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.12
         conflict with any other provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of
         this Section 2.12 shall control with respect to each such Series;

                  (d) the rights of Note Owners of each such Series shall be
         exercised only through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency
         and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to
         those established by law and agreements

                                       11
<PAGE>

         between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing
         Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
         depository agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until
         Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.14,
         the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers among the
         Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
         principal and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency
         Participants; and

                  (e) whenever the Indenture requires or permits actions to be
         taken based upon instructions or directions of the Holders of Notes
         representing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the
         Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent
         such percentage only to the extent that they have received instructions
         to such effect from the Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants
         owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the
         beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to
         Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.13. NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY OR FOREIGN CLEARING AGENCY.
Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under
the Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note
Owners pursuant to Section 2.14, Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices
and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the Clearing
Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, as applicable, and shall have no obligation
to the Note Owners.

         SECTION 2.14. DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i)(A) Transferor advises Indenture
Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities as Clearing Agency with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes of a given Class or Series and (B) Indenture Trustee or Issuer
is unable to locate and reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a
qualified successor, (ii) Transferor, at its option, advises Indenture Trustee
in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency with respect to such Class or Series or (iii) after the
occurrence of a Servicer Default, a Pay Out Event or an Event of Default, Note
Owners of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount (or such
other percentage as specified in the related Indenture Supplement) of such Class
or Series, as applicable, advise Indenture Trustee and the applicable Clearing
Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system is no longer in the best interests of the
Note Owners of such Class or Series, the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note
Owners of such Class or Series of the occurrence of such event and of the
availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners of such Class or Series
requesting the same. Upon surrender to Indenture Trustee of the Notes of such
Class or Series, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable
Clearing Agency, Issuer shall execute and Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
Definitive Notes of such Class or Series and shall recognize the registered
holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders under the Indenture. Neither
Issuer nor Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions, and Issuer and Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes of such Class or Series, all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign
Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by Indenture
Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the registered holders of the Definitive Notes
of such Class or Series as Noteholders of such Class or Series hereunder.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of
Transfer Agent and Registrar.

         SECTION 2.15. GLOBAL NOTE. If specified in the related Indenture
Supplement for any Series, Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single
temporary Global Note (the "Global Note") in bearer form, without interest
coupons, in the denomination of the initial principal amount and substantially
in the form attached to the related Indenture Supplement. Unless otherwise
specified in the related Indenture Supplement, the provisions of this Section
2.15 shall apply to such Global Note. The Global Note will be authenticated by
Indenture Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and
with the same effect as the Definitive Notes. The Global Note may be exchanged
in the manner described in the related Indenture Supplement for Registered Notes
or Bearer Notes in definitive form. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
the Indenture Supplement, any Notes that are issued in bearer form pursuant to
the Indenture shall be issued in accordance with the requirements of Code
section 163(f)(2).

         SECTION 2.16. MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS. To the extent provided by the
Indenture Supplement for any Series issued in whole or in part in Bearer Notes,
Servicer or Indenture Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the Noteholders
of such Series, to be held at such time and at such place as Servicer and
Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine, for the purpose of
approving a modification or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of, any covenant
or condition set forth in the Indenture with respect to such Series or in the
Notes of such Series, subject to Article X.

         SECTION 2.17. UNCERTIFICATED CLASSES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Article II or in Article XI, unless otherwise
specified in any Indenture Supplement, any provisions contained in this Article
II and in Article XI relating to the registration, form, execution,
authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation and surrender of Notes
shall not be applicable to any uncertificated Notes, provided, however, that,
except as otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture Supplement, any such
uncertificated Notes shall be issued in "registered form" within the meaning of
Code section 163(f)(1).

         SECTION 2.18. RECORD DATE FOR VOTING. The record date for purposes of
determining the identity of Noteholders and Noteowners entitled to vote or
consent to any action pursuant to the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement
shall be as specified in TIA Section 316(c).

                                   ARTICLE III

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF ISSUER

         SECTION 3.01. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

                  (a) Issuer will duly and punctually pay principal and interest
         in accordance with the terms of the Notes as specified in the relevant
         Indenture Supplement.

                  (b) The Noteholders of a Series as of the Record Date in
         respect of a Distribution Date shall be entitled to the interest
         accrued and payable and principal payable on such Distribution Date as
         specified in the related Indenture Supplement. All

                                       13
<PAGE>

         payment obligations under a Note are discharged to the extent such
         payments are made to the Noteholder of record.

         SECTION 3.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. Issuer will maintain an
office or agency within the State of [New York] and such other locations as may
be set forth in an Indenture Supplement where Notes may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon Issuer in respect
of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. Issuer hereby initially appoints
Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. Issuer will give prompt written notice to Indenture Trustee
and the Noteholders of the location, and of any change in the location, of any
such office or agency. If at any time Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
office or agency or shall fail to furnish Indenture Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office, and Issuer hereby appoints Indenture
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

         SECTION 3.03. MONEY FOR NOTE PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. All payments
of amounts due and payable with respect to the Notes which are to be made from
amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account
shall be made on behalf of Issuer by Indenture Trustee or by Paying Agent, and
no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Excess Funding
Account shall be paid over to or at the direction of Issuer except as provided
in this Section 3.03 and in the related Indenture Supplement.

         Whenever Issuer shall have a Paying Agent in addition to Indenture
Trustee, it will, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Distribution
Date, direct Indenture Trustee to deposit with such Paying Agent on or before
such Distribution Date an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due, such sum to be (i) held in trust for the benefit of Persons
entitled thereto and (ii) invested, pursuant to an Issuer Order, by Paying Agent
in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms of the related Indenture
Supplement. For all investments made by a Paying Agent under this Section 3.03,
such Paying Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights and obligations of
Indenture Trustee under the related Indenture Supplement, such rights and
obligations being incorporated in this paragraph by this reference.

         Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than Indenture Trustee to
execute and deliver to Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with Indenture Trustee (and if Indenture Trustee acts as
Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section
3.03, that such Paying Agent, in acting as Paying Agent, is an express agent of
Issuer and, further, that such Paying Agent will:

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

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

                                       14

those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment
by any Paying Agent to Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such sums.

         SECTION 3.04. EXISTENCE. Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America,
in which case Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other
related instrument or agreement.

         SECTION 3.05. PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. Issuer will from time to time

         Issuer hereby designates Indenture Trustee its agent and

         the perfection of such lien and security interest.

                  (b) On or before March 31 in each calendar year, beginning in

         statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to
         maintain the perfection of the lien and security interest of the
         Indenture until March 31 in the following calendar year.

         SECTION 3.07. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES.

                  (a) Issuer will not take any action and will use its best
         efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would
         release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or
         obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the
         Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
         subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
         effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly
         provided in the Indenture, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

                  (b) Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
         performing its duties under the Indenture, and any performance of such
         duties by a Person identified to Indenture Trustee in an Officer's
         Certificate of Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken

                                       16
<PAGE>

         by Issuer. Initially, Issuer has contracted with Administrator to
         assist Issuer in performing its duties under the Indenture.

                  (c) Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
         obligations and agreements contained in the Indenture, the other
         Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements relating to
         the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be
         filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required
         to be filed by the terms of the Indenture, the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement in accordance with
         and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

                  (d) If Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a
         Servicer Default under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement, Issuer shall cause Indenture Trustee
         to promptly notify the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall cause
         Indenture Trustee to specify in such notice the action, if any, being
         taken with respect to such default. If a Servicer Default arises from
         the failure of Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations
         under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Transfer and Servicing
         Agreement with respect to the Receivables, Issuer shall take all
         reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

                  (e) On and after the receipt by Servicer of a Termination
         Notice pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Transfer and Servicing
         Agreement, Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions
         under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement until the date specified in
         the Termination Notice or until a date mutually agreed upon by Servicer
         and Indenture Trustee. As promptly as possible after the giving of a
         Termination Notice to Servicer, Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
         Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
         appointment by a written assumption. In the event that a Successor
         Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the
         time when Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, Indenture Trustee in
         accordance with Section 7.02 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
         without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor
         Servicer. Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its servicing
         obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with Section 3.01(b)
         and Section 5.07 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indenture Trustee shall, if it is
         legally unable so to act, petition at the expense of Servicer a court
         of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution
         qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer. Indenture
         Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency and each
         Enhancement Provider upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer. Upon
         its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all
         respects to Servicer with respect to servicing functions under the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the
         responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on
         Servicer after the date of such appointment by the terms and provisions
         thereof, and all references in the Indenture to Servicer shall be
         deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. In connection with any
         Termination Notice, Indenture Trustee will review any bids which it
         obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall be permitted to appoint any
         Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a Successor Servicer for
         servicing compensation, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
         7.02 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
         else herein to the contrary, in no event shall Indenture Trustee be
         liable for any servicing fee.

                                       17

                  (f) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the
         assignment granted to Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the
         rights of Indenture Trustee hereunder, Issuer agrees (i) that it will
         not, without the prior written consent of Indenture Trustee and
         Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount of each
         Series, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or
         agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver
         or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent
         otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement) or the Transaction Documents (except
         to the extent otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents), or
         waive timely performance or observance by Servicer or Transferor of
         their respective obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
         or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (except to the extent otherwise
         provided therein); and (ii) that any such amendment shall not (A)
         increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay
         the timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the
         benefit of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
         the Notes that is required to consent to any such amendment, without
         the consent of the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such
         amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to
         by Indenture Trustee and such Noteholders, Issuer agrees, to execute
         and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements,
         instruments, consents and other documents as are necessary or
         appropriate in the circumstances.

         SECTION 3.08. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as any Notes are Outstanding,
Issuer will not:

                  (a) sell, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any part
         of the Collateral unless directed to do so by Indenture Trustee, except
         as expressly permitted by the Indenture and any Indenture Supplement,
         the Trust Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement;

                  (b) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from, the
         principal and interest payable in respect of the Notes (other than
         amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or
         applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former
         Noteholder by reason of the payment of any taxes levied or assessed
         upon any part of the Collateral;

                  (c) incur, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable,
         directly or indirectly, for any indebtedness other than incurred under
         the Notes and the Indenture;

                  (d) (i) permit the validity or effectiveness of the Indenture
         to be impaired, or permit the lien of the Indenture to be amended,
         hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any
         Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to
         the Notes under the Indenture except as may be expressly permitted
         hereby, (ii) permit any Lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest,
         mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of the Indenture) to
         be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the
         Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds
         thereof or (iii) permit the lien of the Indenture not to constitute a
         valid first priority security interest (other than with respect to a
         tax, mechanics, or similar lien) in the Collateral;

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (e) amend its operating agreement or articles of organization,
         unless the Rating Agency Condition is met; or

                  (f) voluntarily dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part.

         SECTION 3.09. STATEMENTS AS TO COMPLIANCE. Issuer will deliver to
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of Issuer at the end of which any Notes are outstanding (commencing

                  (c) such Authorized Officer is the principal executive
         officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of

                  (a) Issuer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to
         Indenture Trustee as follows as of the Initial Closing Date:

                           (i) The Indenture creates a valid and continuing
                  security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the
                  Collateral Certificate and the proceeds thereof, in favor of
                  the Indenture Trustee, which (a) is enforceable upon execution
                  of the Indenture against creditors of and purchasers from
                  Issuer, as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
                  Debtor Relief Laws, now or hereafter in effect, and by general
                  principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or
                  in equity) and (b) upon filing of the financing statements
                  described in clause (v) below, will be prior to all other
                  Liens (other than Liens permitted pursuant to clause (iii)
                  below).

                           (ii) The Collateral Certificate constitutes an
                  "instrument," a "general intangible" or a "certificated
                  security" within the meaning of the applicable Uniform
                  Commercial Code.

                           (iii) Issuer owns and has good and marketable title
                  to the Collateral Certificate free and clear of any Lien,
                  claim or encumbrance of any Person; provided that nothing in
                  this clause (iii) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit
                  Issuer from suffering to exist upon the Collateral Certificate
                  or any of the Receivables any Liens for any taxes if such
                  taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if FNBO,
                  Transferor, Seller or Issuer, as applicable, shall currently
                  be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by
                  appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books
                  adequate reserves with respect thereto.

                           (iv) There are no consents or approvals required by
                  the terms of the Collateral Certificate for the pledge of the
                  Collateral Certificate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
                  the Indenture.

                           (v) Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the
                  Issuer) has caused the filing of all appropriate financing
                  statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
                  jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the
                  security

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture
                  in the Collateral Certificate.

                           (vi) There is only one executed copy of the
                  Collateral Certificate and such copy has been delivered to the
                  Indenture Trustee. The Collateral Certificate is registered in
                  the name of the Indenture Trustee, upon original issue or
                  registration of transfer by the Issuer.

                           (vii) Other than the pledge of the Collateral
                  Certificate to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture,
                  Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
                  interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Collateral Certificate.
                  Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of
                  any financing statements against Issuer that include a
                  description of collateral covering the Collateral Certificate,
                  except for the financing statement filed pursuant to the
                  Indenture. Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
                  filings against Issuer.

                           (viii) The Collateral Certificate does not have any
                  marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged,
                  assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
                  Indenture Trustee.

                           (ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of the
                  Indenture, the representations and warranties set forth in
                  Section 3.20(a) shall be continuing, and remain in full force
                  and effect, until such time as the Collateral Certificate is
                  retired.

                  (b) Indenture Trustee covenants that it shall not, without
         satisfying the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each outstanding
         Series and the Rating Agency Condition (as defined in the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement) with respect to each outstanding series of
         Investor Certificates, waive a breach of any representation or warranty
         set forth in Section 3.20(a).

                  (c) Servicer covenants that in order to evidence the interests
         of Issuer and Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, Servicer shall
         take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be
         necessary or advisable (including such actions as are requested by
         Indenture Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority
         interest, Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Collateral
         Certificate.

                  (d) Issuer hereby makes the Perfection Representations and
         Warranties to the Indenture Trustee as of the Certificate Trust
         Termination Date, with the Indenture as the Specified Agreement, the
         Issuer as the Debtor and the Indenture Trustee as the Secured Party.
         The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of the Perfection
         Representations and Warranties made under this Section 3.20(d) shall be
         continuing and shall survive any termination of the Specified
         Agreement. Secured Party shall not waive a breach of any Perfection
         Representation and Warranty. In order to evidence the interests of
         Debtor and Secured Party under the Specified Agreement, the Debtor and
         Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, and execute and
         deliver such instruments (including, without limitation, such actions
         or filings as are requested by the Secured Party and financing
         statements under the UCC as enacted and then in effect in

                                       23

         any jurisdiction in which the Debtor is organized, has its principal
         place of business or maintains any books, records, files or other
         information concerning the Receivables) in order to maintain and
         perfect, as a first priority interest, the Secured Party's security
         interest in the Receivables. Debtor hereby authorizes Servicer to file
         financing statements under the UCC without Debtor's signature where
         allowed by applicable law.

                                    case may be;

                           (ii) Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other

                  Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required

                  from a firm of certified public accountants, each meeting the
                  applicable requirements of Section 12.01(a) and each stating

from other funds except to the extent required herein or in the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement or required by law.

                      PAY OUT EVENTS, DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         SECTION 5.01. PAY OUT EVENTS. If any one of the following events (each,
a "Trust Pay Out Event") shall occur:

                  (a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to FNBO or
         Transferor;

                  (b) FNBO shall become unable for any reason to transfer
         Receivables to Transferor pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
         Agreement or Transferor shall become unable for any reason to transfer
         Receivables to Issuer pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
         or to the Certificate Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement; or

                  (c) Certificate Trust or Issuer shall become subject to
         regulation by the Commission as an "investment company" within the

<PAGE>

then a Pay Out Event with respect to all Series of Notes shall occur without any
notice or other action on the part of Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders
immediately upon the occurrence of such event.

         SECTION 5.02. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, means with respect to any Series any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):

                  (a) default in the payment of the principal of any Note of
         that Series, if and to the extent not previously paid, when the same
         becomes due and payable on its Series Termination Date;

                  (b) default in the payment of any interest on any Note of that
         Series when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall
         continue for a period of thirty-five (35) days;

                  (c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to Issuer;
         or

                  (d) default in the observance or performance of any covenant
         or agreement of Issuer made in the Indenture made in respect of the
         Notes of such Series (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in
         the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section
         5.02 specifically dealt with) (all of such covenants and agreements in
         the Indenture which are not expressly stated to be for the benefit of a
         particular Series being deemed to be in respect of the Notes of all
         Series for this purpose) and such default shall continue or not be
         cured for a period of sixty (60) days after there shall have been
         given, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by
         courier or overnight delivery, to Issuer by Indenture Trustee or to
         Issuer and Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes representing at
         least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of such Series, a written notice
         specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating
         that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder and, as a result of
         such default, the interests of the Holders of the Notes are materially
         and adversely affected and continue to be materially and adversely
         affected during the 60-day period; or

                  (e) any additional events specified in the Indenture
         Supplement related to such Series.

         In addition to the notice required under Section 3.17, Issuer shall
deliver to Indenture Trustee, within five (5) days after the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of any Default or Event
of Default, its status and what action Issuer is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

         SECTION 5.03. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default described in paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of Section 5.02 should
occur and be continuing with respect to a Series, then and in every such case
Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the
Outstanding Amount of such Series may declare all the Notes of such Series to be
immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to Issuer (and to Indenture
Trustee if declared by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the
Outstanding

                                       26
<PAGE>

Amount of such Series, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through
the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

         If an Event of Default described in paragraph (c) of Section 5.02
should occur and be continuing, then the Outstanding Amount of each Series,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall automatically become due and payable.

         At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the
Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of such
Series, by written notice to Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided, that:

                  (a) Issuer has paid or deposited with Indenture Trustee a sum
         sufficient to pay:

                           (i) all payments of principal of and interest on all
                  Notes, and all other amounts, that would then be due hereunder
                  or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
                  acceleration had not occurred; and

                           (ii) all sums paid or advanced by Indenture Trustee
                  hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
                  disbursements and advances of Indenture Trustee and its agents
                  and counsel; and

                  (b) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
         principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
         have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

         No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

         SECTION 5.04. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

                  (a) Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the
         payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and
         payable, and such default continues for a period of thirty-five (35)
         days following the date on which such interest became due and payable
         or (ii) default is made in the payment of principal of any Note, if and
         to the extent not previously paid, when the same becomes due and
         payable on the Series Termination Date, Issuer will, upon demand of
         Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the
         Notes of the affected Series, the whole amount then due and payable on
         such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue
         principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be
         legally enforceable, interest upon overdue installments of interest, as
         specified in the related Indenture Supplement, and in addition thereto
         will pay such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
         and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
         expenses, disbursements and advances of Indenture Trustee and its
         agents and counsel.

                                       27
<PAGE>

                  (b) In case Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
         upon such demand, Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of
         an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the
         sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment
         or final decree, and may enforce the same against Issuer or other
         obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out
         of the Collateral or the property of such other obligor upon such
         Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

                  (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Indenture
         Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.05, in its
         discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
         the Noteholders of the affected Series, by such appropriate Proceedings
         as Indenture Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any
         such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
         agreement in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
         granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
         equitable right vested in Indenture Trustee by the Indenture or by law.

                  (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to Issuer or any
         other obligor upon the Notes of the affected Series, or any Person
         having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings
         under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
         federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
         hereafter in effect, or in case a receiver, conservator, assignee or
         trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator,
         custodian or other similar official shall have been appointed for or
         taken possession of Issuer or its property or such other obligor or
         Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings
         relative to Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, or
         to the creditors or property of Issuer or such other obligor, Indenture
         Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then
         be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
         and irrespective of whether Indenture Trustee shall have made any
         demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall be
         entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or
         otherwise:

                           (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
                  amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect
                  of the Notes of such Series and to file such other papers or
                  documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
                  the claims of Indenture Trustee (including any claim for
                  reasonable compensation to Indenture Trustee and each
                  predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents,
                  attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses
                  and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by Indenture
                  Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a
                  result of negligence or willful misconduct) and of the
                  Noteholders of such Series allowed in such Proceedings;

                           (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and
                  regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes of such
                  Series in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or
                  Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

                           (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other
                  property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
                  distribute all amounts received with respect

                                       28
<PAGE>

                  to the claims of the Noteholders of such Series and of
                  Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

                           (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
                  documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
                  the claims of Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes of
                  such Series allowed in any judicial Proceedings relative to
                  Issuer, its creditors and its property;

         and any trustee, receiver, conservator, liquidator, custodian,
         assignee, sequestrator or other similar official in any such Proceeding
         is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to
         Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that Indenture Trustee shall
         consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay
         to Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
         reasonable compensation to Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
         Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
         and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
         by Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a
         result of negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
         Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or
         adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization,
         arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the
         rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize Indenture Trustee to vote
         in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding
         except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in
         bankruptcy or similar Person.

                  (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under the
         Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by Indenture
         Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production
         thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any
         such action or Proceedings instituted by Indenture Trustee shall be
         brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
         recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
         disbursements and compensation of Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
         Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be
         for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series as
         provided herein.

                  (g) In any Proceedings brought by Indenture Trustee (and also
         any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the
         Indenture to which Indenture Trustee shall be a party), Indenture
         Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes of the
         affected Series, and it shall not be necessary to make any such
         Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

         SECTION 5.05. REMEDIES; PRIORITIES.

                  (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing with respect to any Series, and the Notes of such Series
         have been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.03, Indenture Trustee may
         do one or more of the following (subject to Sections 5.06 and 12.16):

                           (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as
                  trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts
                  then payable on the Notes of the affected

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  Series or under the Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
                  declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and
                  collect from Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes
                  moneys adjudged due;

                           (ii) take any other appropriate action to protect and
                  enforce the rights and remedies of Indenture Trustee and the
                  Holders of the Notes of the affected Series;

                           (iii) cause the Receivables Trust to sell Principal
                  Receivables in an amount equal to the Collateral Amount of the
                  accelerated Series, together with the related Finance Charge
                  Receivables, or interests therein, in accordance with Section
                  5.16;

         provided, however, that Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy
         described in subparagraph (iii) above unless (A)(1) the Holders of
         Notes representing 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the affected
         Series consent in writing thereto, (2) Indenture Trustee determines
         that any proceeds of such exercise distributable to the Noteholders of
         the affected Series will be sufficient to discharge in full all amounts
         then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest and
         obtains the consent to exercise this remedy from Holders of Notes
         representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of such Series or
         (3) Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral may not continue
         to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
         interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had
         not been declared due and payable, and Indenture Trustee obtains the
         consent of the Holders of Notes representing at least 66-2/3% of the
         Outstanding Amount of each Class of such Series and (B) Indenture
         Trustee has been provided with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
         the exercise of such remedy complies with applicable federal and state
         securities laws. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with
         respect to clauses (A)(2) and (A)(3), Indenture Trustee may, but need
         not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent
         investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
         feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
         Collateral for such purpose.

                  The remedies provided in this Section 5.05(a) are the
         exclusive remedies provided to the Noteholders with respect to the
         Collateral and each of the Noteholders (by their acceptance of their
         respective interests in the Notes) hereby expressly waives any other
         remedy that might have been available under the applicable UCC or any
         other law.

                  (b) If Indenture Trustee collects any money or property
         pursuant to this Article V following the acceleration of the Notes of
         the affected Series pursuant to Section 5.03 (so long as such a
         declaration shall not have been rescinded or annulled), it shall pay
         out the money or property in the following order:

                           FIRST: to Indenture Trustee for amounts due pursuant
                  to Section 6.07; and

                           SECOND: unless otherwise specified in the related
                  Indenture Supplement, to Servicer for distribution in
                  accordance with Article IV of the related Indenture Supplement
                  with such amounts being deemed to be Principal Collections and

                                       30
<PAGE>

                  Finance Charge Collections in the same proportion as (x) the
                  outstanding principal balance of the Notes bears to (y) the
                  sum of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and other
                  fees and expenses payable in connection therewith under the
                  applicable Indenture Supplement, including the amounts payable
                  under any Enhancements with respect to such Series.

                  (c) Indenture Trustee may, upon notification to Issuer, fix a
         record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders of the
         affected Series pursuant to this Section 5.05. At least fifteen (15)
         days before such record date, Indenture Trustee shall mail or send by
         facsimile, at the expense of Servicer, to each such Noteholder a notice
         that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be
         paid.

                  (d) In addition to the application of money or property
         referred to in Section 5.05(b) for an accelerated Series, amounts then
         held in the Collection Account, Excess Funding Account or any Series
         Accounts for such Series and any amounts available under the
         Enhancement for such Series shall be used to make payments to the
         Holders of the Notes of such Series and the Enhancement Provider for
         such Series in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the related
         Indenture Supplement and the Enhancement for such Series. Following the
         sale of any Principal Receivables and related Finance Charge
         Receivables pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(iii) (or interests therein) for
         a Series and the application of the proceeds of such sale to such
         Series and the application of the amounts then held in the Collection
         Account, the Excess Funding Account and any Series Accounts for such
         Series as are allocated to such Series and any amounts available under
         the Enhancement for such Series, such Series shall no longer be
         entitled to any allocation of Collections or other property
         constituting the Collateral under the Indenture.

         SECTION 5.06. OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE COLLATERAL. If the Notes of
any Series have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.03 following
an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, and Indenture Trustee has not received directions from
the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.12, Indenture Trustee may, but need not,
elect to maintain possession of the portion of the Collateral which secures such
Notes and apply proceeds of the Collateral to make payments on such Notes to the
extent such proceeds are available therefor. In determining whether to maintain
possession of the Collateral, Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and
conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or
accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

         SECTION 5.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Noteholder shall have any right
to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

                  (a) the Holders of Notes representing not less than 25% of the
         Outstanding Amount of each affected Series have made written request to
         Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as
         indenture trustee;

                  (b) such Noteholder or Noteholders has previously given
         written notice to Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

                                       31
<PAGE>

                  (c) such Noteholder or Noteholders has offered to Indenture
         Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

                  (d) Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of
         such request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
         Proceeding; and

                  (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the
         Holders of Notes representing more than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
         of each affected Series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders of the affected
Series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other Noteholders of such Series or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority
or preference over any other Noteholders of such Series or to enforce any right
under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

         In the event Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two (2) or more groups of Noteholders
of any affected Series, each representing no more than 50% of the Outstanding
Amount of such Series, Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine
what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Indenture.

         SECTION 5.08. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, each
Noteholder shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive
payment of the principal of and interest in respect of such Note as such
principal and interest becomes due and payable and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Noteholder.

         SECTION 5.09. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If Indenture Trustee
or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under the Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned, or
has been determined adversely to Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then
and in every such case Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Noteholder shall,
subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no
such Proceeding had been instituted.

         SECTION 5.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as specified in
Section 5.05(a) above, no right, remedy, power or privilege herein conferred
upon or reserved to Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, and every right,
remedy, power or privilege shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right, remedy, power or privilege given hereunder
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as
specified in Section 5.05(a) above, the assertion or exercise of any right or
remedy shall not preclude any other further assertion or the exercise of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

                                       32
<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising, on the part of Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder or
other Person, any right or remedy occurring hereunder upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Except as specified in Section
5.05(a) above, every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to
Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as may be deemed expedient, by Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders,
as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.12. RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO DIRECT INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The
Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of any
affected Series shall have the right to direct in writing the time, method and
place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to Indenture Trustee
with respect to such Series or exercising any trust or power conferred on
Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series; provided, however, that subject
to Section 6.01 Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline any such
direction if:

                  (a) Indenture Trustee, after being advised by counsel,
         determines that the action so directed is in conflict with any rule of
         law or with the Indenture;

                  (b) Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
         Officer of Indenture Trustee, determine that the Proceedings so
         directed would be illegal or involve Indenture Trustee in personal
         liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not parties to
         such direction; or

                  (c) Indenture Trustee reasonably believes it will not be
         adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities
         which might be incurred by it in complying with the action so directed.

         SECTION 5.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of the affected Series as provided in
Section 5.03, Holders of Notes representing not less than 66? of the Outstanding
Amount of such Series (or with respect to any such Series with two or more
Classes, of each Class), may, on behalf of all such Noteholders, waive in
writing any past default, with written notice to Indenture Trustee, with respect
to such Notes and its consequences, except a default:

                  (a) in the payment of the principal or interest in respect of
         any Note of such Series, or

                  (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under
         Section 10.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
         Noteholder of each Outstanding Note affected;

which, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), can only be waived by all
Noteholders of each affected Series. Upon any such written waiver, such default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

         SECTION 5.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to the Indenture
agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its

                                       33
<PAGE>

discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
the Indenture, or in any suit against Indenture Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant (other than Indenture
Trustee) in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by Indenture Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders (in compliance with
Section 5.08) holding Notes representing more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount
of the affected Series, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal or interest in respect of any Note
on or after the Distribution Date on which any of such amounts was due (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

         SECTION 5.15. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, which may adversely affect the covenants or the performance of the
Indenture; and Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law had been enacted.

         SECTION 5.16. SALE OF RECEIVABLES.

                  (a) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of
         Receivables (or interests therein) pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(iii)
         shall be commercially reasonable. Indenture Trustee may from time to
         time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and
         place of such sale. Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right
         to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any sale.

                  (b) Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
         agent and attorney-in-fact of Issuer in connection with any sale of
         Receivables pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(iii). No purchaser or
         transferee at any such sale shall be bound to ascertain Indenture
         Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions
         precedent or see to the application of any monies.

                  (c) In its exercise of the foreclosure remedy pursuant to
         Section 5.05(a)(iii), Indenture Trustee shall solicit, or cause to be
         solicited, bids for the sale of Receivables (or interests therein), in
         the amount specified in Section 5.05(a)(iii). Indenture Trustee shall
         sell, or cause to be sold, such Receivables (or interests therein) to
         the bidder with the highest cash purchase offer. The proceeds of any
         such sale shall be applied as specified in the applicable Indenture
         Supplement.

         SECTION 5.17. ACTION ON NOTES. Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under the Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with
respect to the Indenture. Neither the lien of the Indenture nor any rights or
remedies of Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired

                                       34
<PAGE>

by the recovery of any judgment by Indenture Trustee against Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or
upon any of the assets of Issuer. Any money or property collected by Indenture
Trustee shall be applied as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                INDENTURE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 6.01. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

                  (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
         a Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge
         or written notice of such Event of Default, Indenture Trustee shall
         exercise the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture and use
         the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person
         would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
         person's own affairs.

                  (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default or a
         Pay Out Event:

                           (i) Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such
                  duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
                  the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall
                  be read into the Indenture against Indenture Trustee; and

                           (ii) in the absence of bad faith or negligence on its
                  part, Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
                  of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
                  expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
                  Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the
                  Indenture; provided, however, Indenture Trustee, upon receipt
                  of any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
                  reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to
                  Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to be
                  furnished pursuant to any provision of the Indenture or any
                  Indenture Supplement, shall examine them to determine whether
                  they substantially conform to the requirements of the
                  Indenture or any Indenture Supplement but need not confirm or
                  investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other
                  facts stated therein.

                  (c) If a Pay Out Event has occurred and is continuing and a
         Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge or
         written notice of such Pay Out Event, Indenture Trustee shall exercise
         the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same
         degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
         exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
         own affairs.

                  (d) No provision of the Indenture shall be construed to
         relieve Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action,
         its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except
         that:

                           (i) this Section 6.01(d) shall not be construed to
                  limit the effect of Section 6.01(a);

                                       35
<PAGE>

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

                           (iii) Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with
                  respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
                  by it in good faith in accordance with the Indenture and/or
                  the direction of the Holders of Notes or for exercising any
                  trust or power conferred upon Indenture Trustee, under the
                  Indenture. Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
                  action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
                  faith in accordance with the direction of Servicer,
                  Transferor, Administrator or Owner Trustee in compliance with
                  the terms of the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

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

                  (f) Every provision of the Indenture that in any way relates
         to Indenture Trustee is subject to this Section 6.01.

                  (g) Except as expressly provided in the Indenture, Indenture
         Trustee shall have no power to vary the Collateral, including by (i)
         accepting any substitute payment obligation for a Receivable initially
         transferred to the Trust under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement,
         (ii) adding any other investment, obligation or security to the Trust
         or (iii) withdrawing from Issuer any Receivable (except as otherwise
         provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement).

                  (h) Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or
         liability for investment losses on Permitted Investments (other than
         Permitted Investments on which the institution acting as Indenture
         Trustee is an obligor). Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to
         invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific
         written investment direction from Issuer. In no event shall Indenture
         Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment
         losses incurred thereon. Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in
         respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any
         investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of Issuer to
         provide timely written investment direction.

                  (i) Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency
         (i) of any change in any rating of the Notes by any other Rating Agency
         of which a Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee has written notice
         and (ii) of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Pay Out Event (or
         any other event or condition which, with the giving of notice or
         passage of time, or both, will constitute an Event of Default or Pay
         out Event) of which a Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee has
         actual knowledge or has received written notice from Servicer.

                                       36
<PAGE>

                  (j) For all purposes under the Indenture, Indenture Trustee
         shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of
         Default, Pay Out Event or Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer
         of Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or has received
         written notice thereof. For purposes of determining Indenture Trustee's
         responsibility and liability hereunder, any reference to an Event of
         Default, Pay Out Event or Servicer Default shall be construed to refer
         only to such event of which Indenture Trustee is deemed to have notice
         as described in this Section 6.01(j).

         SECTION 6.02. NOTICE OF PAY OUT EVENT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the
occurrence of any Pay Out Event or Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or has received written
notice, Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders as their
names and addresses appear on the Note Register and the Rating Agencies, notice
of such Pay Out Event or Event of Default within ten (10) Business Days after a
Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee receives such written notice or obtains
such actual knowledge.

         SECTION 6.03. RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 6.01:

                  (a) Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully be
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document
         (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it
         to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party
         or parties;

                  (b) Whenever, in the administration of the Indenture,
         Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
         established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action
         hereunder, Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein
         specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
         conclusively rely upon an Officer's Certificate of Issuer. Issuer shall
         provide a copy of such Officer's Certificate to the Noteholders at or
         prior to the time Indenture Trustee receives such Officer's
         Certificate;

                  (c) As a condition to the taking, suffering or omitting of any
         action by it hereunder, Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel of
         its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
         Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
         respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
         in-good faith and in reliance thereon;

                  (d) Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
         any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture or to honor
         the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the
         Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to Indenture
         Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
         expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
         with such request or direction;

                  (e) Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any
         investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document,

                                       37
<PAGE>

         but Indenture Trustee at the written direction of one or more of the
         Noteholders and at the expense of the Noteholders, in its discretion,
         may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
         matters as it may see fit, and, if Indenture Trustee shall determine to
         make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
         examine the books, records and premises of Issuer and Servicer,
         personally or by agent or attorney and shall at the expense of the
         Servicer incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
         investigation;

                  (f) Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and Indenture Trustee
         shall not be responsible for any (i) misconduct or negligence on the
         part of any agent, attorney, custodians or nominees appointed with due
         care by it hereunder or (ii) the supervision of such agents, attorneys,
         custodians or nominees after such appointment with due care;

                  (g) Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any actions
         taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
         authorized or within the discretion or rights conferred upon Indenture
         Trustee by the Indenture; and

                  (h) in the event that Indenture Trustee is also acting as
         Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and Registrar and Successor Servicer,
         if it becomes Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of the
         Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the rights and protections afforded
         to Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded
         to such Paying Agent and Transfer Agent and Registrar and Successor
         Servicer, if it becomes Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of
         the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 6.04. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF NOTES. The
recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the certificate of
authentication of Indenture Trustee, shall be taken as the statements of Issuer,
and Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Neither
Indenture Trustee nor any of its agents makes any representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Notes, or any related document.
Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by Issuer
of the proceeds from the Notes.

         SECTION 6.05. DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent
or Transfer Agent and Registrar that is not also Indenture Trustee and any other
agent of Issuer, each in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with Issuer (including
arranging for purchases of Permitted Investments) with the same rights it would
have if it were not Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Registrar or such other agent.

         SECTION 6.06. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. Money held by Indenture Trustee in
trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds held by Indenture
Trustee in trust hereunder except to the extent required herein or required by
law. Indenture Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by Indenture
Trustee and Issuer.

                                       38
<PAGE>

         SECTION 6.07. COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION. Servicer
shall pay to Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by Indenture Trustee and the Authenticating Agent under this
Agreement (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of
a trustee of an express trust). Servicer shall reimburse Indenture Trustee for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. Issuer
shall direct Servicer to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and Servicer shall
indemnify Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents
against any and all loss, liability, expense, damage or claim (including the
fees of either in-house counsel or outside counsel) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder and under any other Transaction Document, including any claim arising
from any failure by Issuer or Transferor to pay when due any sales, excise,
transfer or personal taxes relating to the Receivables. Indenture Trustee shall
notify Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure
by Indenture Trustee to so notify Servicer of a claim of which a Responsible
Officer has received written notice shall not relieve Servicer of its
obligations hereunder unless such loss, liability or expense could have been
avoided with such prompt notification and then only to the extent of such loss,
expense or liability which could have been so avoided. Servicer shall defend any
claim against Indenture Trustee. Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and, if it does, Servicer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
Servicer will not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected
without its prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
Neither Issuer nor Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss, liability or expense determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have been caused by Indenture Trustee through Indenture Trustee's own fraud,
willful misconduct or negligence.

         Servicer's payment obligations to Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of the Indenture or earlier resignation
or removal of Indenture Trustee. When Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.02(c) or 5.02(d)
with respect to Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

         To secure Servicer's and Issuer's payment obligations in this Section
6.07, Indenture Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or
property held or collected by Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Indenture
Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, or interest
on, the Notes.

         SECTION 6.08. REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. No resignation or
removal of Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. Indenture Trustee may resign at
any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice to Issuer and the Rating
Agencies. The Holders of Notes representing more than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding
Amount of all Series may remove Indenture Trustee by so notifying Indenture
Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Issuer shall
remove Indenture Trustee upon written notice if:

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (a) Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

                  (b) Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

                  (c) a receiver of Indenture Trustee or of its property shall
         be appointed, or any public officer takes charge of Indenture Trustee
         or its property or its affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
         conservation or liquidation; or

                  (d) Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally unable to act.

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

         A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, Servicer and to Issuer. Thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The successor Indenture
Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring
Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture
Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee, subject to the payment of any and
all amounts then due and owing to Indenture Trustee.

         If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60)
days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, Issuer or the Holders of Notes representing more than 25% of
the Outstanding Amount of all Series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

         If Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of Indenture
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the replacement of Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.08, Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

         Issuer shall notify the Rating Agencies of any replacement of Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.

         SECTION 6.09. SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies
prior written notice of any such transaction.

         In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion,
consolidation or transfer to Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts
created by the Indenture any of the Notes

                                       40
<PAGE>

shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to Indenture
Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture
Trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of
the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to Indenture Trustee
may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor to Indenture Trustee;
and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is
anywhere in the Notes or in the Indenture provided that the certificate of
Indenture Trustee shall have.

         SECTION 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, at
         any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any
         jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be
         located, Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and
         deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a
         co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of
         all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or
         Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such
         title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other
         provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
         rights and trusts as Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or
         desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
         required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
         Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any
         co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08.

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

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

                           (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable
                  by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee
                  hereunder;

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

                           (iv) Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
                  act or failure to act on the part of any separate trustee or
                  co-trustee.

                  (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to Indenture
         Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
         trustees and co-trustees, as

                                       41
<PAGE>

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

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

         SECTION 6.11. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. Indenture Trustee shall at
all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). Indenture Trustee
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth

unsecured debt shall be rated at least Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by Standard &
Poor's or its short-term debt shall be rated at least P-2 by Moody's and A-2 by
Standard & Poor's. Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b);
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA
Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of
Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA
Section 310(b)(1) are met.

         SECTION 6.12. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST. Indenture
Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

         SECTION 6.13. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.
Indenture Trustee represents, warrants and covenants that:

necessary for the Paying Agent to perform its duties hereunder, Indenture
Trustee shall not hold any part of the Trust Estate through an agent or a
nominee.

                  (c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to
         Indenture Trustee is for informational purposes only, and Indenture

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                    ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS

         SECTION 8.01. COLLECTION OF MONEY. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein and in the related Indenture Supplement, Indenture Trustee may
demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and
without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary,
all money and other property payable to or receivable by Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture. Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and
property received by it in trust for the Noteholders and shall apply it as
provided in the Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, if any default occurs in the
making of any payment or performance under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, Indenture Trustee may, and upon the written
request of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding
Amount of the affected Series shall, subject to Sections 6.01(e) and 6.03(d),
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such
action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Pay Out Event or a
Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and to proceed thereafter as
provided in Article V.

         SECTION 8.02. RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS. The Collateral shall secure
Issuer's obligations to pay to the Holders of the Notes of each Series a portion
of Collections allocable to the Noteholders of such Series pursuant to the
Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement, funds and other property
credited to the Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account (or any
subaccount thereof) allocable to the Noteholders of such Series pursuant to the
Indenture and such Indenture Supplement, funds and other property credited to
any related Series Account and funds available pursuant to any related
Enhancement, it being understood that, except as specifically set forth in the
Indenture Supplement with respect thereto, the Notes of any Series or Class
shall not be secured by any interest in any Series Account or Enhancement
pledged for the benefit of any other Series or Class.

         SECTION 8.03. ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT AND EXCESS FUNDING
ACCOUNT. On and after the Certificate Trust Termination Date, Servicer, for the
benefit of the Holders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Indenture
Trustee a segregated trust account with a Qualified Institution (the "Collection
Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
therein are held for the benefit of the Holders. On and after the Certificate
Trust Termination Date, Servicer, for the benefit of the Holders, shall also
establish and maintain in the name of Indenture Trustee, a segregated trust
account with a Qualified Institution, which may be a subaccount of the
Collection Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Holders (the "Excess Funding
Account"). The Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account shall initially
be established with Indenture Trustee. Indenture Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Collection Account and the Excess Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof
for the benefit of the Holders. The Collection Account and the Excess Funding
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders. Except as expressly provided in the Indenture,
Indenture Trustee agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or banker's lien
against, and no right to otherwise deduct from, any funds held in the Collection
Account or the Excess Funding Account for any amount owed to it by Issuer, any

                                       45
<PAGE>

Holder or any Enhancement Provider. If at any time the institution with which
the Collection Account or the Excess Funding Account is maintained ceases to be
a Qualified Institution, Indenture Trustee (or Servicer on its behalf) shall
within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days,
as to which the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied) of receipt by a
Responsible Officer of Trustee of written notice or actual knowledge of such
change, establish a new account meeting the conditions specified above and
transfer any cash or any investments from the affected account to such new
account, and from the date such new account is established, it shall be the
"Collection Account" or the "Excess Funding Account," as the case may be. So
long as FNBO remains as Servicer, it is hereby authorized to withdraw from the
Collection Account any funds not required by the Indenture or the applicable
Indenture Supplement to be deposited into the Collection Account.

         Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Excess Funding
Account shall, at the direction of Servicer, be invested by Indenture Trustee in
Permitted Investments selected by Servicer, except that funds on deposit in
either such account on any Transfer Date need not be invested through the
immediately following Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments shall be
held by Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders. Indenture Trustee
shall maintain for the benefit of the Holders possession of the negotiable
instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments.
Investments of funds representing Collections collected during any Monthly
Period shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature so that all
funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date following
such Monthly Period. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its
maturity unless Servicer so directs and either (i) such disposal will not result
in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Permitted Investment
or (ii) prior to the maturity of such Permitted Investment, a default occurs in
the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such
Permitted Investment. On each Distribution Date, (i) all interest and other
investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit
in the Collection Account shall be remitted to the Servicer, and (ii) all
interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses)
on funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account shall be treated as
Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the last day of the
related Monthly Period, except as otherwise specified in any Indenture
Supplement. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the
balances in the Collection Account or the Excess Funding Account for any reason
under this Agreement, all investment earnings net of investment expenses and
losses on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit. In no
event shall Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
investment losses incurred thereon. Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in
respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment
prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the party directing such
investment to provide timely written investment direction. Indenture Trustee
shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the
absence of such written investment direction.

         Funds on deposit in the Excess Funding Account will be withdrawn and
paid to Transferor on any day to the extent that the Transferor Interest exceeds
the Minimum Transferor Interest on such day. On any Transfer Date on which one
or more Series is in an Amortization Period, Servicer shall determine the
aggregate amounts of Principal Shortfall, if any, with respect to each such
Series that is a Principal Sharing Series (after giving effect to the allocation
and payment provisions in the Indenture Supplement with respect to each such
Series), and Servicer shall instruct Indenture Trustee to withdraw such

                                       46
<PAGE>

amount from the Excess Funding Account (up to an amount equal to the lesser of
(x) the amount on deposit in the Excess Funding Account after application of the
preceding sentence on that day and (y) the amount, if any, by which the
Transferor Interest would be less than zero if there were no funds on deposit in
the Excess Funding Account on that day) on such Transfer Date and allocate such
amount among each such Series as specified for Excess Principal Collections in
each related Indenture Supplement.

         SECTION 8.04. COLLECTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS. From and after the
Certificate Trust Termination Date:

                  (a) Servicer shall apply, or instruct Indenture Trustee to
         apply, all funds on deposit in the Collection Account as described in
         this Article VIII and in each Indenture Supplement. Except as otherwise
         provided below and in each Indenture Supplement, Servicer shall deposit
         Collections into the Collection Account no later than the second
         Business Day following the Date of Processing of such Collections.

                  Subject to the express terms of any Indenture Supplement, but
         notwithstanding anything else in the Indenture to the contrary, if FNBO
         remains Servicer and (x) for so long as FNBO maintains a short term
         debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P, P-1 or better by Moody's, if rated
         by Fitch, F1 or better by Fitch, and, if rated by any other Rating
         Agency, the equivalent rating by that Rating Agency (or such other
         rating below A-1, P-1 or such equivalent rating, as the case may be,
         which is satisfactory to each Rating Agency, if any), (y) with respect
         to Collections allocable to any Series, any other conditions specified
         in the related Indenture Supplement are satisfied or (z) FNBO has
         provided to Indenture Trustee a letter of credit, surety bond or other
         similar arrangement covering collection risk of Servicer and in each
         case acceptable to each Rating Agency (as evidenced by a letter from
         each Rating Agency to the effect that the Rating Agency Condition has
         been satisfied), if any, Servicer need not make the daily deposits of
         Collections into the Collection Account as provided in the preceding
         paragraph, but may make a single deposit in the Collection Account in
         immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
         time, on the related Transfer Date. Subject to the express terms of any
         Indenture Supplement, but notwithstanding anything else in the
         Indenture to the contrary, with respect to any Monthly Period, whether
         the Servicer is required to make deposits of Collections pursuant to
         the first or second paragraph of this subsection 8.03(a), (1) the
         Servicer will only be required to deposit Collections into the
         Collection Account up to the aggregate amount of Collections required
         to be deposited into any Series Account or, without duplication,
         distributed on or prior to the related Distribution Date to Noteholders
         or to any Enhancement Provider pursuant to the terms of any Indenture
         Supplement or agreement whereby the Enhancement is provided, and (2) if
         at any time prior to such Distribution Date the amount of Collections
         deposited in the Collection Account exceeds such required amount, the
         Servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection
         Account for distribution to the Transferor or payments pursuant to
         Section 3.02 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

                  (b) On each Date of Processing, Collections of Finance Charge
         Receivables and of Principal Receivables shall be allocated to each
         Series of Notes in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement. On
         each Determination Date, Receivables in

                                       47
<PAGE>

         Defaulted Accounts will be allocated to each Series of Notes in
         accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

                  (c) Throughout the existence of Issuer, unless otherwise
         stated in any Indenture Supplement, on each Date of Processing,
         Servicer shall allocate to Transferor an amount equal to the product of
         (i) the Transferor Percentage and (ii) the aggregate amount of
         Collections allocated to Principal Receivables and Finance Charge
         Receivables, respectively, on that Date of Processing; provided that,
         if the Transferor Interest (determined after giving effect to any
         transfer of Principal Receivables to the Trust on such date), is less
         than or equal to the Minimum Transferor Interest, Servicer shall not
         allocate to Transferor any such amounts that otherwise would be
         allocated to Transferor, but shall instead deposit such funds in the
         Excess Funding Account. Unless otherwise stated in any Indenture
         Supplement, neither Servicer nor Transferor need deposit any amounts
         allocated to Transferor pursuant to the foregoing into the Collection
         Account and shall pay, or be deemed to pay, such amounts, as collected,
         to Transferor.

                  The payments to be made to Transferor, pursuant to this
         Section 8.04(c) do not apply to deposits to the Collection Account or
         other amounts that do not represent Collections, including payment of
         the purchase price for Receivables pursuant to Section 2.04(f) or 7.01
         of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, proceeds from the sale,
         disposition or liquidation of Receivables pursuant to Section 5.05 or
         payment of the purchase price for the Notes of a specific Series
         pursuant to the related Indenture Supplement.

         SECTION 8.05. EXCESS PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. From and after the
Certificate Trust Termination Date, on each Distribution Date, Excess Principal
Collections from each Group shall be allocated to each outstanding Series in
such Group pro rata based on the Principal Shortfall, if any, for each such
Series in such Group, and then, at the option of Transferor, any remainder may
be applied as principal with respect to any Variable Interest in such Group. The
Servicer shall pay any remaining Excess Principal Collections on any Business
Day to the Holders of the Transferor Interest, provided that if the Transferor
Interest as determined on such Business Day (after giving effect to any
Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such date) does not exceed the
Minimum Transferor Interest on such date, then such remaining Excess Principal
Collections shall be deposited in the Excess Funding Account to be held and/or
distributed as provided in Section 8.03.

         SECTION 8.06. EXCESS FINANCE CHARGE COLLECTIONS. From and after the
Certificate Trust Termination Date, on each Transfer Date, (a) for each Group,
Servicer shall allocate the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series in such
Group of the amounts which the related Indenture Supplements specify are to be
treated as "Excess Finance Charge Collections" for such Transfer Date to each
Series in such Group, pro rata, in proportion to the Finance Charge Shortfalls,
if any, with respect to each such Series and (b) Servicer shall on the related
Distribution Date withdraw (or shall instruct Indenture Trustee in writing to
withdraw) from the Collection Account and pay to Transferor an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series in a
Group of the amounts which the related Indenture Supplements specify are to be
treated as "Excess Finance Charge Collections" for such Distribution Date over
(y) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series in such Group which

                                       48
<PAGE>

the related Indenture Supplements specify are "Finance Charge Shortfalls," for
such Distribution Date.

         SECTION 8.07. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL; ELIGIBLE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                  (a) Upon the written direction of Issuer, Indenture Trustee
         may, and when required by the provisions of the Indenture shall,
         execute instruments to release property from the lien of the Indenture,
         or convey Indenture Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and
         under circumstances which are not inconsistent with the provisions of
         the Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by
         Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to
         ascertain Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction
         of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.

                  (b) In order to facilitate the servicing of the Receivables by
         Servicer, Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authorize Servicer
         to execute in the name and on behalf of Indenture Trustee instruments
         of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
         discharge, and other comparable instruments with respect to the
         Receivables (and Indenture Trustee shall execute any such documents
         prepared by Servicer on written request of Servicer), subject to the
         obligations of Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

                  (c) Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no
         Notes outstanding, release and transfer, without recourse, all of the
         Collateral that secured the Notes (other than any cash held for the
         payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02). Indenture Trustee shall
         release property from the lien of the Indenture pursuant to this
         Section 8.07(c) only upon receipt of an Issuer Order accompanied by an
         Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the
         TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Section 314(c) and
         314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 12.01.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture,
         the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement,
         immediately prior to the release of any portion of the Collateral or
         any funds on deposit in the Series Accounts pursuant to the Indenture,
         Indenture Trustee shall at the written request of Issuer remit to
         Transferor for its own account any funds that, upon such release, would
         otherwise be remitted to Issuer.

         SECTION 8.08. OPINION OF COUNSEL. Indenture Trustee shall receive at
least seven (7) days notice when requested by Issuer to take any action pursuant
to Section 8.07(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and
Indenture Trustee shall also be provided with, as a condition to such action, an
Opinion of Counsel stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the
steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions
precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action
will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of the Indenture;
provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express
an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. Indenture Trustee and counsel
rendering any such opinion may conclusively rely, without

                                       49
<PAGE>

independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or
other instrument delivered to Indenture Trustee in connection with any such
action.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                    DISTRIBUTIONS AND REPORTS TO NOTEHOLDERS

         Distributions shall be made to, and reports shall be provided to,
Noteholders as set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement. The identity of
the Noteholders with respect to distributions and reports shall be determined
according to the immediately preceding Record Date.

                                    ARTICLE X

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

         SECTION 10.01. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF NOTEHOLDERS.

                  (a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with
         prior notice to each Rating Agency with respect to the Notes of all
         Series rated by such Rating Agency, Issuer and Indenture Trustee, when
         authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may
         enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall
         conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the
         execution thereof), in form satisfactory to Indenture Trustee, for any
         of the following purposes:

                           (i) to correct or amplify the description of any
                  property at any time subject to the lien of the Indenture, or
                  better to assure, convey and confirm unto Indenture Trustee
                  any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien
                  of the Indenture, or to subject to the lien of the Indenture
                  additional property;

                           (ii) to evidence the succession, in compliance with
                  Section 3.11, of another person to Issuer, and the assumption
                  by any such successor of the covenants of Issuer contained
                  herein and in the Notes;

                           (iii) to add to the covenants of Issuer, for the
                  benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to surrender any right
                  or power herein conferred upon Issuer;

                           (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge
                  any property to or with Indenture Trustee;

                           (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement
                  any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture that may
                  be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any
                  supplemental indenture or to make any other provisions with
                  respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or
                  in any supplemental indenture; provided that such action shall
                  not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
                  Notes;

                           (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of
                  the appointment hereunder by a successor indenture trustee
                  with respect to the Notes and to add to

                                       50
<PAGE>

                  or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be
                  necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts
                  hereunder by more than one indenture trustee, pursuant to the
                  requirements of Article VI;

                           (vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions
                  of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to
                  effect the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or
                  under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add
                  to the Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly
                  required by the TIA; or

                           (viii) to provide for the issuance of one or more new
                  Series of Notes, in accordance with the provisions of Section
                  2.11.

                  Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the
         execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further
         appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

                  (b) Issuer and Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
         Order, may, also without the consent of any Noteholders of any Series
         then Outstanding but upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition
         with respect to the Notes of all Series, enter into an indenture or
         indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions
         to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of,
         the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
         of the Notes under the Indenture; provided, however that Transferor
         shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate, dated the date of any such action, stating that
         all requirements for such amendments contained in the Indenture have
         been met and Transferor reasonably believes that such action will not
         have an Adverse Effect. Additionally, notwithstanding the preceding
         sentence, Issuer and Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
         Order, may, without the consent of any Noteholders of any Series then
         Outstanding or the Enhancement Providers for any Series, enter into an
         indenture or indentures supplemental hereto to add, modify or eliminate
         such provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable all
         or a portion of Issuer (A) to qualify as, and to permit an election to
         be made to cause Issuer to be treated as, a "financial asset
         securitization investment trust" as described in the provisions of
         Section 860L of the Code, and (B) to avoid the imposition of state or
         local income or franchise taxes imposed on Issuer's property or its
         income; provided, however, that (1) Transferor shall have delivered to
         Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the
         effect that the proposed amendments meet the requirements set forth in
         this Section 10.01(b), (2) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
         satisfied and (3) each of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
         shall have consented to such amendment if it affects their respective
         rights, duties, protections, indemnities, immunities or obligations
         hereunder.

         SECTION 10.02. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF NOTEHOLDERS.
Issuer and Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, upon
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and with the consent of the Holders
of Notes representing more than 66-2/3% of the principal balance of the
Outstanding Notes of each adversely affected Series, by Act of such Holders
delivered to Issuer and Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any
manner or

                                       51
<PAGE>

eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of such Noteholders under the Indenture; provided, however that no
such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Note affected thereby:

                  (a) change the due date of any installment of principal of or
         interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the
         interest rate specified thereon or the redemption price with respect
         thereto or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency
         in which, any Note or any interest thereon is payable;

                  (b) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
         the provisions of the Indenture requiring the application of funds
         available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any
         such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates
         thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
         Date);

                  (c) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Notes of any
         Series the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such
         supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is
         required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the
         Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences as
         provided for in the Indenture;

                  (d) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Notes of any
         Series, the consent of the Holders of which is required to direct
         Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral if the proceeds
         of such sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount and
         accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes of such Series;

                  (e) decrease the percentage of the Outstanding Notes required
         to amend the sections of the Indenture which specify the applicable
         percentage of the Outstanding Notes of any Series necessary to amend
         the Indenture or any Transaction Documents which require such consent;

                  (f) modify or alter the provisions of the Indenture
         prohibiting the voting of Notes held by Issuer, any other Obligor on
         the Notes, the Transferor or any affiliate thereof; or

                  (g) permit the creation of any Lien ranking prior to or on a
         parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to any part of the
         Collateral for any Notes or, except as otherwise permitted or
         contemplated herein, terminate the Lien of the Indenture on any such
         Collateral at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note
         of the security provided by the Lien of the Indenture.

         Satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition shall not be required with
respect to the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
10.02 for which the consent of all of the affected Noteholders is required;
provided that prior notice of any such supplemental indenture shall be given to
each Rating Agency.

         It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section
10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but
it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

                                       52
<PAGE>

         Promptly after the execution by Issuer and Indenture Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.02, Indenture Trustee shall
mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates written notice setting forth in general terms the substance of
such supplemental indenture. Any failure of Indenture Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

         SECTION 10.03. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article X or the modification thereby of the trusts created by
the Indenture, Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the
Indenture and stating that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no
consents are required and stating that such supplemental indenture or
modification constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Issuer in
accordance with its terms. Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects Indenture Trustee's own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.

         SECTION 10.04. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture under this Article X, the Indenture shall be modified
in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of
the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. This
Section 10.04 does not apply to Indenture Supplements.

         SECTION 10.05. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment of
the Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article
X shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as the
Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

         SECTION 10.06. REFERENCE IN NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article X may, and if required by Indenture Trustee shall, bear
a notation in form approved by Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for
in such supplemental indenture. If Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of Indenture Trustee and Issuer, to any
such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by Issuer and
authenticated and delivered by Indenture Trustee in exchange for the outstanding
Notes.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                   TERMINATION

         SECTION 11.01. TERMINATION OF ISSUER. Issuer and the respective
obligations and responsibilities of Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than
the obligation of Indenture Trustee to make payments to Noteholders as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties
described in Section 11.02(b), as provided in the Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 11.02. FINAL DISTRIBUTION.

                  (a) Servicer shall give Indenture Trustee and the Rating
         Agencies at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the
         Distribution Date on which the Noteholders of any Series or Class may
         surrender their Notes for payment of the final distribution on and
         cancellation of such Notes (or, in the event of a final distribution
         resulting from the application of Section 2.06 or 7.01 of the Transfer
         and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.05, notice of such Distribution
         Date promptly after Servicer has determined that a final distribution
         will occur, if such determination is made less than thirty (30) days
         prior to such Distribution Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by
         an Officer's Certificate setting forth the information specified in
         Section 3.05 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement covering the
         period during the then-current calendar year through the date of such
         notice. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the final
         distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to
         Noteholders, Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to Noteholders of
         such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon which final payment
         of such Series or Class will be made upon presentation and surrender of
         Notes of such Series or Class at the office or offices therein
         designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that
         the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date is not
         applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
         such Notes at the office or offices therein specified (which in the
         case of Bearer Notes shall be outside the United States). Indenture
         Trustee shall give such notice to Transfer Agent and Registrar and
         Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

                  (b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of
         any Series or Class (or the termination of Issuer), except as otherwise
         provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection
         Account and any Series Account allocated to such Noteholders shall
         continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such Noteholders, and
         Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such
         Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if certificated (and any
         excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any applicable
         Enhancement Agreement and the applicable Indenture Supplement). If all
         such Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation
         within six (6) months after the date specified in the notice from
         Indenture Trustee described in paragraph (a), Indenture Trustee shall
         give a second notice to the remaining such Noteholders to surrender
         their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
         respect thereto (which surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer
         Notes, shall be outside the United States). If within one year after
         the second notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for
         cancellation, Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
         appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
         such Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost
         thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account or any
         Series Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. Indenture
         Trustee and, upon the written request of Servicer, Paying Agent shall
         pay to Issuer any monies held by them for the payment of principal or
         interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years. After payment to
         Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to Issuer for
         payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property
         law designates another Person.

         SECTION 11.03. ISSUER'S TERMINATION RIGHTS. Upon the termination of
Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and upon the written
direction of Issuer, Indenture Trustee shall assign and convey to the Holders of
the Transferor Interest or any of their designees, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of Issuer in the
Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all Recoveries related
thereto all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable
with respect thereto (including all moneys then held in the Collection Account
or any Series Account) and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.02(b). Indenture Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of the
Transferor Interest to vest in the Holders of the Transferor Interest or any of
their designees all right, title and interest which Indenture Trustee had in the
Collateral and such other property.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 12.01. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS ETC.

                  (a) Upon any application or request by Issuer to Indenture
         Trustee to take any action under any provision of the Indenture,
         Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to request that Issuer furnish to
         Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all
         conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the Indenture relating to
         the proposed action have been complied with (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
         stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
         precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by
         the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public
         accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 12.01,
         except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which
         the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any
         provision of the Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need
         be furnished.

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

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

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

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

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

                           (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or
                  other property or securities with Indenture Trustee that is to
                  be made the basis for the release of any property or
                  securities subject to the lien of the Indenture, Issuer shall,
                  in addition to any obligation imposed in subsection 12.01(a)
                  or elsewhere in the Indenture, furnish to Indenture Trustee an
                  Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
                  each person signing such certificate as to the fair value
                  (within ninety (90) days of such deposit) to Issuer of the
                  Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

                           (ii) Whenever Issuer is required to furnish to
                  Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or
                  stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters
                  described in clause (i) above, Issuer shall also deliver to
                  Indenture Trustee (if required by the TIA) an Independent
                  Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of
                  Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other
                  such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or
                  release since the commencement of the then current fiscal year
                  of Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant
                  to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of
                  the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate
                  need not be furnished with respect to any securities so
                  deposited if the fair value thereof to Issuer as set forth in
                  the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
                  than one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

                           (iii) Other than with respect to the release of any
                  Receivables in Removed Accounts and Defaulted Accounts,
                  whenever any property or investment property is to be released
                  from the lien of the Indenture, Issuer shall also furnish to
                  Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or
                  stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as
                  to the fair value (within ninety (90) days of such release) of
                  the property or securities proposed to be released and stating
                  that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will
                  not impair the security under the Indenture in contravention
                  of the provisions hereof.

                           (iv) Whenever Issuer is required to furnish to
                  Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or
                  stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters
                  described in clause (iii) above, Issuer shall also furnish to
                  Indenture Trustee (if required by the TIA) an Independent
                  Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the
                  property or securities and of all other property, other than
                  Receivables in Removed Accounts and Defaulted Accounts, or
                  securities released from the lien of the Indenture since the
                  commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth
                  in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this
                  clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amounts of
                  the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the
                  case of any release of property or securities if the fair
                  value thereof as set forth in the related Officer's
                  Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of
                  the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

                           (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                  Section 12.01, Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or
                  otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent
                  permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and (B)
                  make cash

                                       56
<PAGE>

                  payments out of the Series Accounts as and to the extent
                  permitted or required by the Transaction Documents.

         SECTION 12.02. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

         Any certificate or opinion of a Responsible Officer of Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any such certificate of a Responsible Officer or Opinion of
Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of
Servicer, Transferor, Issuer or Administrator, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of Servicer, a Transferor,
Issuer or Administrator, unless such Responsible Officer or counsel has actual
knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
such matters are erroneous.

         Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under the Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

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

         SECTION 12.03. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.

                  (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
         consent, waiver or other action provided by the Indenture to be given
         or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
         instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders
         in person or by their agents duly appointed in writing and satisfying
         any requisite percentages as to minimum number or dollar value of
         outstanding principal amount represented by such Noteholders; and,
         except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
         effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
         Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to
         Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
         and evidenced

                                       57
<PAGE>

         thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
         Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
         of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
         be sufficient for any purpose of the Indenture and conclusive in favor
         of Indenture Trustee and Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
         Section 12.03.

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
         such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which Indenture
         Trustee deems sufficient.

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

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

         SECTION 12.04. NOTICES, ETC. TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND ISSUER. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by the Indenture or any
Indenture Supplement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

                  (a) Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by Issuer shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing, by facsimile transmission, or by courier or overnight
         delivery, or by other means acceptable to Indenture Trustee to or with
         Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

                  (b) Issuer by Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed,
         first-class postage prepaid, to Issuer addressed to it and received by
         it [______], or at any other address previously furnished in writing to
         Indenture Trustee by Issuer. A copy of each notice to Issuer shall be
         sent in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
         Administrator at First National Bank of Omaha,___________, Attn.:
         President.

         Any notice required by the Indenture or any other Transaction Document
to be given to any other Person shall be given in writing, unless otherwise
specifically provided.

         SECTION 12.05. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where the Indenture or
any Indenture Supplement provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed by registered or certified mail or first class postage
prepaid or national overnight courier service to each Noteholder affected by
such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

                                       58
<PAGE>

         Where the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice in
any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed
with Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

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

         SECTION 12.06. ALTERNATE PAYMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, Issuer, with
the prior written consent of Indenture Trustee, may enter into any agreement
with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by
Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the
methods provided for in the Indenture for such payments or notices. Issuer will
furnish to Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and Indenture Trustee
will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such
agreements.

         SECTION 12.07. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in the Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA,
such required provision shall control.

         The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on
any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by the Indenture) are a part of and govern the Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.

         SECTION 12.08. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article
and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         SECTION 12.09. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in
the Indenture by Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

         SECTION 12.10. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in the Indenture or
in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

         SECTION 12.11. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in the Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, Servicer, Transferor
and Enhancement Providers, any benefit.

         SECTION 12.12. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or the

                                       59
<PAGE>

Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on
which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
any such nominal date.

         SECTION 12.13. GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY CONFLICT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEBRASKA WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH LAWS.

         SECTION 12.14. COUNTERPARTS. The Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 12.15. ISSUER OBLIGATION. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of Issuer on the Notes or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith
or therewith, against (i) Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in Issuer, (iii)
Servicer, (iv) FNBO or any of its Affiliates, (v) Administrator or (vi) First
Bankcard Master Credit Card Trust, or any of their respective owners,
beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors or
assigns, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. The Notes will represent obligations
solely of Issuer and will not be insured or guaranteed by Servicer, FNBO or any
of its Affiliates, Administrator, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or any other
Person or Governmental Authority (other than an Enhancement Provider, if any, as
specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement). For all purposes of the
Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 12.16. NO PETITION. Indenture Trustee, by entering into the
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time institute against Issuer, Transferor or
Certificate Trust, or solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any
institution against Issuer, Transferor or Certificate Trust of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any
of the Transaction Documents. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of
Indenture Trustee to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect
to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted against Issuer by any Person
other than Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 12.17. SUBORDINATION. Issuer and each Noteholder by accepting a
Note acknowledge and agree that such Note represents indebtedness of Issuer and
does not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Trust Estate) of
Transferor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of
obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Estate

                                       60
<PAGE>

and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing,
to the extent Transferor enters into other securitization transactions, Issuer
as well as each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that it
shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interest therein)
(other than Trust Estate) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Transferor to
another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith
(whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of
a lien) ("Other Assets"). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and
provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this subsection, Issuer or
any Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from,
Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Transferor or any other Person
owned by Transferor or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or
benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process,
pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by
virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed
asserted against or through Transferor or any other Person owned by Transferor,
then Issuer and each Noteholder by accepting a Note further acknowledges and
agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and
shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all
obligations and liabilities of Transferor which, under the terms of the relevant
documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to
be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other
Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally
perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution or application
under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against
Transferor or any other Person owned by Transferor), including, the payment of
post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This
subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the
