                                   GUARANTEE

                                      OF

                             AVIS RENT A CAR, INC.

          AVIS RENT A CAR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"),
hereby agrees to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Raven Funding
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SPV"), and to each assignee and
pledgee of the SPV, and Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware trust company,
not in its individual capacity but solely as the SUBI Trustee (the "SUBI
Trustee" and together with the SPV and each assignee and pledgee of the SPV,
the "Payees") the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations
of PHH Vehicle Management Services LLC ("VMS") pursuant to the Sold SUBI
Supplement 1999-1 to Servicing Agreement (the "Servicing Supplement"), dated
as of June 30, 1999, among the SUBI Trustee, SPV and VMS, as such Servicing
Supplement may be amended and supplemented from time to time.

          The undersigned hereby waives any presentment, demand of payment,
protest and notice of nonpayment, dishonor or protest thereof or of any
exchange, sale, surrender, release or any other notice or demand to which the
undersigned may otherwise be entitled. The undersigned shall not be exonerated
or discharged from liability hereunder by any time or grace period given to
VMS or by any other indulgence or concession granted to VMS, including,
without limitation, any such period, indulgence or concession whatsoever
affecting or preventing a recovery of any of the obligations guaranteed
hereunder that, but for this provision, might operate to exonerate or
discharge the undersigned, from its obligations hereunder.

          The undersigned further agrees that its liabilities hereunder shall
be irrevocable and unconditional and in no way be affected, impaired,
released, reduced or discharged by reason of the occurrence of any of the
following, although without further notice to or consent of the undersigned,
(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for
the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting VMS or the
undersigned; (ii) any claim, defense or right of set-off VMS, the undersigned
or any other person may have against the Payees; or (iii) any other
circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, VMS or undersigned. The undersigned further guarantees that all
payments made by VMS on any obligation hereby guaranteed will, when made, be
final and agrees that, if any such payment is recovered from, or repaid by,
any Payee(s), in whole or in part, in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding instituted by or against VMS, this Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated as though the payment so recovered or repaid had
never been originally made on such obligation.

          Notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and of the incurring of any
or all of the obligations hereby guaranteed is hereby waived by the
undersigned, and this Guarantee and all of the terms and provisions hereof
shall immediately be binding upon the undersigned from the date of the
execution of this Guarantee.
<PAGE>

          The Payees may enforce the undersigned's obligations hereunder
without in any way first pursuing or exhausting any other rights or remedies
which the Payees may have against VMS or against any other person, firm or
corporation.

          If demand shall have been made for payment or performance of the
obligations guaranteed hereunder or if an event resulting in any of the
obligations guaranteed hereunder becoming payable or performable shall at any
time have occurred and the obligations guaranteed hereunder becoming payable
or performable shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency
against VMS of a case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law,
the undersigned agrees that, for purposes of this Guarantee and its
obligations hereunder, the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be deemed to
have become payable or performable and the undersigned shall forthwith pay or
perform such obligations guaranteed hereunder, without any further notice or
demand.

          Each payment to be made by the undersigned under this Guarantee or
in connection herewith to the applicable Payee(s) shall be made without
set-off or deduction of any kind whatsoever. The provisions of this paragraph
shall survive termination and payment in full of the obligations guaranteed
hereunder.

          The undersigned expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, contribution, exoneration and indemnity (contractual, statutory
or otherwise) arising from the existence or performance of this Guarantee and
the undersigned irrevocably waives any right to enforce any remedy that the
Payees now have or may hereafter have against VMS, or any other person, and
waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or
hereafter held by the Payees, in each case, until such time as the obligations
guaranteed hereunder have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full in cash
to the Payees. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination
and payment in full of the obligations guaranteed hereunder.

          The undersigned further irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to
pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Payees in enforcing its
rights or remedies under this Guarantee.

          THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR BENEFICIARY HEREOF
ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS
GUARANTEE.

          THIS GUARANTEE AND ALL RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ARISING
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

          The undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New York and of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York in any action or proceeding brought
against it under this Guarantee or under any document delivered by it in
connection herewith or called for by the Servicing Supplement.

          No delay on the part of its exercise of, or the failure to exercise,
any right or remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any obligation of the
undersigned or right of the Payees. This Guarantee may be modified, and the
Payees' rights hereunder waived, only by agreement in writing signed by each
Payee and the undersigned.

          This Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of the Payees and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall bind the successors and
assigns of the undersigned.

          This Guarantee may not be assigned by the undersigned without the
prior written consent of each Payee.

     (d) The Indenture Trustee, in exchange for the Grant of the Receivables and
the  other  components  of the  Trust,  simultaneously  with  the  Grant  to the
Indenture  Trustee of the  Receivables,  and the  constructive  delivery  to the

certificate  of  authentication  substantially  in the form set forth in Exhibit
C-1,  Exhibit C-2,  Exhibit C-3 or Exhibit C-4, as  applicable,  executed by the
Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers, and

evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes.

     (a) Pending the  preparation  of Definitive  Notes,  if any, the Issuer may
execute,  and upon  receipt  of an Issuer  Order  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall
authenticate and deliver, such Temporary Notes which are printed,  lithographed,
typewritten,  mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive
Notes  in lieu of  which  they  are  issued  and  with  such  variations  as are
consistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

     (b) If Temporary Notes are issued,  the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes
to be prepared without  unreasonable  delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Notes,  the Temporary  Notes shall be  exchangeable  for  Definitive  Notes upon
surrender  of the  Temporary  Notes at the  Agency  Office  of the  Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2,  without charge to the  Noteholder.  Upon
surrender for  cancellation of any one or more Temporary Notes, the Issuer shall
execute and the  Indenture  Trustee shall  authenticate  and deliver in exchange
therefor  a  like   principal   amount  of   Definitive   Notes  of   authorized
denominations.  Until so delivered in exchange, the Temporary Notes shall in all
respects be entitled to the same  benefits  under this  Indenture as  Definitive
Notes.

     SECTION 2.4 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

     (a) The  Issuer  shall  cause  to be kept  the  Note  Register,  comprising
separate registers for each class of Notes, in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations  as the  Issuer may  prescribe,  the Issuer  shall  provide  for the
registration of the Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the
Notes.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall  initially be the Note  Registrar for the
purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein  provided.
Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar,  the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor  Note  Registrar  or,  if it elects  not to make such an  appointment,
assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>

     (b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer
as Note  Registrar,  the Issuer will give the Indenture  Trustee  prompt written
notice of the  appointment of such Note  Registrar and of the location,  and any
change in the location,  of the Note Register.  The Indenture Trustee shall have
the right to inspect  the Note  Register at all  reasonable  times and to obtain
copies  thereof.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall  have the  right to rely upon a
certificate  executed on behalf of the Note  Registrar by an  Executive  Officer
thereof  as to the names and  addresses  of the  Noteholders  and the  principal
amounts and number of such Notes.

     (c)  Upon  surrender  for  registration  of  transfer  of any  Note  at the
Corporate  Trust  Office of the  Indenture  Trustee or the Agency  Office of the
Issuer (and  following  the  delivery,  in the former case, of such Notes to the
Issuer by the  Indenture  Trustee),  the Issuer  shall  execute,  the  Indenture
Trustee shall  authenticate  and the Noteholder  shall obtain from the Indenture
Trustee,  in the name of the designated  transferee or transferees,  one or more
new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

     (d) At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes
of the same class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount,  upon  surrender of such Notes to be exchanged  at the  Corporate  Trust
Office  of the  Indenture  Trustee  or the  Agency  Office  of the  Issuer  (and
following the  delivery,  in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuer by the
Indenture  Trustee),  the Issuer shall execute,  and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate  and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture  Trustee,  such
Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     (e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of other
Notes shall be the valid  obligations  of the Issuer,  evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     (f) 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 form  satisfactory to the Indenture  Trustee and the Note Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing,  with such signature  guaranteed by a commercial  bank or trust company
located, or having a correspondent  located, in the City of New York or the city
in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee is located, or by a
member firm of a national securities  exchange,  and such other documents as the
Indenture Trustee may require.

     (g) No service  charge  shall be made to a Holder for any  registration  of
transfer or exchange of Notes,  but the Issuer or Indenture  Trustee 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
Notes,  other than  exchanges  pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any
transfer.

                                      - 6 -

<PAGE>

     (h) The  preceding  provisions  of this  Section 2.4  notwithstanding,  the
Issuer  shall  not be  required  to  transfer  or make  exchanges,  and the Note
Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, of Notes that: (i) have been
selected for redemption  pursuant to Article X, if  applicable;  or (ii) are due
for repayment  within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the
Agency Office.

     SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

     (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture  Trustee,  or
the Indenture  Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture  Trustee
such  security or  indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the
Indenture  Trustee harmless,  then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer,  the
Note  Registrar or the  Indenture  Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser,  the Issuer shall execute and upon the Issuer's request the
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 a like
class  and  aggregate  principal  amount;  provided,  however,  that if any such
destroyed,  lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note,  shall have become or
within  seven  days  shall be due and  payable,  or shall  have been  called for
redemption,  instead of issuing a replacement  Note, the Issuer may make payment
to the Holder of such  destroyed,  lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or
upon the Redemption Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof.

     (b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Note or payment in respect of a
destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to subsection (a), a bona fide purchaser
of the original Note in lieu of which such  replacement Note was issued presents
for payment such original  Note,  the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such  replacement Note (or such payment) from (i) any Person
to whom it was delivered,  (ii) the Person taking such replacement Note from the
Person to whom such  replacement  Note was  delivered;  or (iii) any assignee of
such  Person,  except a bona fide  purchaser,  and the Issuer and the  Indenture
Trustee  shall be entitled to recover upon the  security or  indemnity  provided
therefor  to the extent of any loss,  damage,  cost or expense  incurred  by the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

     (c) In  connection  with the  issuance of any  replacement  Note under this
Section  2.5, the 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 all fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

     (d) Any duplicate  Note issued  pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement
for any mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional  contractual  obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed,  lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time or be enforced by any
Person,  and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>

     (e) The provisions of this Section 2.5 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  2.6  Persons  Deemed  Noteholders.  Prior to due  presentment  for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture  Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered  (as of the day of  determination)  as the Noteholder for
the purpose of receiving  payments of principal of and interest on such Note and
for all other  purposes  whatsoever,  whether or not such Note be  overdue,  and
neither the  Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest.

     (a) Interest on each class of Notes shall accrue in the manner set forth in
Exhibit C-1,  Exhibit C-2,  Exhibit C-3 or Exhibit  C-4, as  applicable,  at the
applicable  Interest  Rate for such  class and will be due and  payable  on each
Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.2(c).
Any instalment of interest  payable on any Note shall be punctually paid or duly
provided  for by a deposit by or at the  direction  of the Issuer  into the Note

shall notify each  Noteholder  of such class of record as of the Record Date for
such Distribution Date of the fact that the final instalment of principal of and

any such class of Notes,  such  notice  shall be sent (i) on such Record Date by

disposed of by the Indenture  Trustee in accordance with its standard  retention
or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an
Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided,  however,  that
such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been  previously  disposed of
by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall certify to the Issuer upon
request  that  surrendered  Notes  have  been  duly  canceled  and  retained  or
destroyed, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.9 Release of  Collateral.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall release

an Officer's  Certificate,  an Opinion of Counsel (to the extent required by the
TIA) and  Independent  Certificates  in  accordance  with TIA  ss.ss.314(c)  and
314(d)(1).

     SECTION 2.10  Book-Entry  Notes.  Subject to Section 2.15, the Notes,  upon
original  issuance,  shall be issued in the form of a typewritten  Note or Notes
representing  the Book- Entry Notes,  to be delivered  to The  Depository  Trust
Company,  as the initial Clearing Agency,  or its custodian,  by or on behalf of
the Issuer.  Such Note or Notes shall be  registered on the Note Register in the
name of the Note  Depository,  and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note
representing  such Note  Owner's  interest  in such Note,  except as provided in
Section  2.12.  Unless and until the  Definitive  Notes have been issued to Note
Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

     (a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect;

     (b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture  Trustee shall be entitled to deal
with the  Clearing  Agency for all  purposes of this  Indenture  (including  the
payment  of  principal  of  and  interest  on  such  Notes  and  the  giving  of
instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of such Notes and shall
have no obligation to the Note Owners;

     (c) to the extent that the  provisions  of this Section 2.10  conflict with
any other  provisions  of this  Indenture,  the  provisions of this Section 2.10
shall control;

     (d) the rights of the Note  Owners  shall be  exercised  only  through  the
Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those  established by law and agreements
between such Note Owners and the  Clearing  Agency  and/or the  Clearing  Agency
Participants.  Unless and until  Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section
2.12, the initial  Clearing Agency shall make book-entry  transfers  between the
Clearing Agency  Participants and receive and transmit  payments of principal of
and interest on such Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants, pursuant to the
Note Depository Agreement; and

     (e) whenever this Indenture  requires or permits  actions to be taken based
upon  instructions  or  directions  of Holders of Notes  evidencing  a specified
percentage of the Outstanding  Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to represent such percentage only to the

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>

extent  that it has (i)  received  instructions  to such effect from Note Owners
and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing,  respectively,  such
required  percentage  of the  beneficial  interest  in the  Notes;  and (ii) has
delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION  2.11  Notices  to  Clearing  Agency.  Whenever  a notice  or other
communication  to the Noteholders is required under this  Indenture,  unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section
2.12,  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall give all such  notices and  communications
specified  herein to be given to  Noteholders  to the Clearing  Agency and shall
have no other obligation to the Note Owners.

     SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes.

     If (i) the Administrator  advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the
Clearing  Agency  is no  longer  willing  or  able  to  properly  discharge  its
responsibilities  with respect to the Notes  (other than the Private  Notes) and
the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Administrator, at
its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) after the occurrence
of  an  Event  of  Default  or a  Servicer  Default,  Note  Owners  representing
beneficial  interests  aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of such Notes advise the Clearing  Agency in writing that the contin uation of a
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests
of the Note Owners,  then the  Clearing  Agency shall notify all Note Owners and
the  Indenture  Trustee  of  the  occurrence  of  any  such  event  and  of  the
availability  of  Definitive  Notes to Note  Owners  requesting  the same.  Upon
surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing
the  Book-Entry  Notes  by the  Clearing  Agency,  accompanied  by  registration
instructions,   the  Issuer  shall  execute  and  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall
authenticate  the Definitive  Notes in accor dance with the  instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
shall  be  liable  for  any  delay  in  delivery  of such  instructions  and may
conclusively  rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such  instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

     SECTION  2.13 Seller as  Noteholder.  The Seller in its  individual  or any
other  capacity  may  become  the owner or pledgee of Notes of any class and may
otherwise deal with the Issuer or its  affiliates  with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Seller.

     SECTION  2.14 Tax  Treatment.  The Seller  and the  Indenture  Trustee,  by
entering  into this  Indenture,  and the  Noteholders,  by acquiring any Note or
interest  therein,  (i) express  their  intention  that the Notes  qualify under
applicable tax law as indebtedness  secured by the  Collateral,  and (ii) unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing  authorities,  agree to treat the Notes
as  indebtedness  secured by the  Collateral  for the purpose of federal  income
taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax,
and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

     SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to the Private Notes.

     (a) None of the  Private  Notes have been or will be  registered  under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  or the securities
laws  of any  other  jurisdiction.  Consequently,  the  Private  Notes  are  not
transferable   other  than  pursuant  to  an  exemption  from  the  registration
requirements of the Securities Act and  satisfaction of certain other provisions
specified herein. An interest in the Class A-1 Notes and in the Initial Variable
Pay Revolving Note are being sold in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act on the date hereof. Each additional Variable Pay Revolving
Note, or an interest therein,  will be sold in a private  placement  pursuant to
Section  4(2) of the  Securities  Act on or about the date of issuance  thereof.
Thereafter,  no further sale,  pledge or other  transfer of any Private Note (or
interest  therein) may be made by any person unless either (i) such sale, pledge
or other transfer is made to a "qualified  institutional  buyer" that executes a
certificate,  in the form attached  hereto as Exhibit D or otherwise in form and
substance  satisfactory to the Indenture  Trustee and the Seller,  to the effect
that (A) it is a  "qualified  institutional  buyer" as  defined  under Rule 144A
under the  Securities  Act,  acting for its own account or the accounts of other
"qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act, and (B) it is aware that the transferor of such Note intends to rely on the
exemption from the  registration  requirements of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) such sale,  pledge or other transfer
is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration  requirements of
the Securities  Act, in which case (A) the Indenture  Trustee shall require that
both the prospective  transferor and the prospective  transferee  certify to the
Indenture Trustee and the Seller in writing the facts surrounding such transfer,
which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee and the Seller,  and (B) the  Indenture  Trustee shall require a written
opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Seller, the Servicer
or the Indenture  Trustee)  satisfactory to the Seller and the Indenture Trustee
to the effect that such transfer will not violate the  Securities  Act.  Neither
the Seller nor the  Indenture  Trustee will  register  any of the Private  Notes
under the Securities Act,  qualify any of the Private Notes under the securities
laws of any state or  provide  registration  rights to any  purchaser  or holder
thereof.

     (b) The Private Notes shall be issued in the form of  Definitive  Notes and
shall  be in  fully  registered  form.  Sections  2.10,  2.11  and  2.12 of this
Indenture shall not apply to the Private Notes.

     (c) Each  Private  Note  shall  bear a legend  to the  effect  set forth in
subsection (a) above.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                    COVENANTS

     SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal  and  Interest.  The Issuer shall duly and
punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the
terms of the Notes and this

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>

Indenture. On each Distribution Date and on the Redemption Date (if applicable),
the Issuer shall cause amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account to be
distributed  to the  Noteholders  in accordance  with Sections 2.7 and 8.2, less
amounts  properly  withheld  under the Code by any Person  from a payment to any
Noteholder  of interest  and/or  principal.  Any  amounts so  withheld  shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes
of this Indenture.

     SECTION  3.2  Maintenance  of  Agency  Office.  As long as any of the Notes
remains outstanding,  the Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York,  an office (the  "Agency  Office"),  being an office or agency
where Notes may be  surrendered  to the Issuer for  registration  of transfer or
exchange,  and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the
Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the
Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing  purposes.  The Issuer
shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture  Trustee of the location,  and
of any change in the location,  of the Agency Office.  If at any time the Issuer
shall fail to  maintain  any such  office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate  Trust Office of the  Indenture  Trustee,
and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all
such surrenders, notices and demands.

     SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

     (a) As provided in Section  8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and
payable  with  respect to any Notes that are to be made from  amounts  withdrawn
from the Note  Distribution  Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on
behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no
amounts so withdrawn  from the Note  Distribution  Account for payments of Notes
shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.3.

     (b) On or  before  each  Distribution  Date  or  the  Redemption  Date  (if
applicable),  the  Issuer  shall  deposit or cause to be  deposited  in the Note
Distribution  Account  pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Trust Sale and  Servicing
Agreement an aggregate sum  sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due with
respect  to the  Notes,  such sum to be held in  trust  for the  benefit  of the
Persons entitled thereto.

     (c) The Issuer  shall  cause each  Paying  Agent  other than the  Indenture
Trustee to execute and deliver to the  Indenture  Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the  Indenture  Trustee (and if the Indenture
Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent shall:

          (i) 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

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>

     paid to such  Persons or otherwise  disposed of as herein  provided and pay
     such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

          (ii) give the  Indenture  Trustee  notice of any default by the 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;

          (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
     written  request of the Indenture  Trustee,  forthwith pay to the Indenture
     Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

          (iv)  immediately  resign as a Paying Agent and  forthwith  pay to the
     Indenture  Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if
     at any time it ceases to meet the standards  required to be met by a Paying
     Agent in effect at the time of determination; and

          (v)  comply  with all  requirements  of the Code with  respect  to the
     withholding  from any  payments  made by it on any Notes of any  applicable
     withholding  taxes  imposed  thereon  and with  respect  to any  applicable
     reporting requirements in connection therewith.

     (d)  The  Issuer  may at  any  time,  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the  Indenture  Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent,  such sums to be held by the Indenture  Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such  payment by any Paying  Agent to the  Indenture  Trustee,  such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     (e) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds,  any money
held by the  Indenture  Trustee or any Paying  Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with  respect to any Note and  remaining  unclaimed  for one year
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust
and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer  Request;  and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter,  as an  unsecured  general  creditor,  look only to the  Issuer  for
payment  thereof  (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture  Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease;  provided,  however,  that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying  Agent,  before being  required to make any such payment,
may at the  expense of the Issuer  cause to be  published  once,  in a newspaper
published in the English  language,  customarily  published on each Business Day
and of  general  circulation  in the City of New York,  notice  that such  money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified  therein,  which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such  publication,  any unclaimed  balance of
such money then remaining shall be paid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may
also adopt and

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>

employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification
of such payment  (including,  but not limited to, mailing notice of such payment
to Holders  whose  Notes  have been  called  but have not been  surrendered  for
redemption  or whose  right to or  interest  in monies due and  payable  but not
claimed is  determinable  from the  records of the  Indenture  Trustee or of any
Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

     SECTION 3.4 Existence.  The Issuer shall 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 the Issuer  shall keep in full  effect its  existence,  rights and
franchises  under the laws of such  other  jurisdiction)  and shall  obtain  and
preserve its  qualification  to do business in each  jurisdiction  in which such
qualification   is  or  shall  be   necessary   to  protect  the   validity  and
enforceability  of this  Indenture,  the Notes,  the  Collateral  and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

     statements or amendments  thereto within sixty days after the occurrence of
     any of the following and by promptly notifying the Indenture Trustee of any

     made or to be made by this Indenture;

Servicing  Agreement,  the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement,  the Administration
Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

     (b) The Issuer may contract  with other  Persons to assist it in performing
its duties under this Indenture,  and any performance of such duties by a Person

steps  available to them pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement and

arise by operation of law, in each case on a Financed Vehicle and arising solely
as a result of an action or omission of the related  Obligor),  or (iii)  permit
the lien of this  Indenture  not to constitute a valid first  priority  security

Indenture,  the Issuer had good and marketable title thereto,  free of any Lien;
and, upon execution and delivery of this Indenture by the Issuer,  the Indenture
Trustee shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and
under  the  Receivables,  the  unpaid  indebtedness  evidenced  thereby  and the
collateral security therefor, free of any Lien; and

     (b) All Filings  Made.  All filings  (including,  without  limitation,  UCC
filings)  necessary in any  jurisdiction  to give the Indenture  Trustee a first
perfected security interest in the Receivables shall have been made.

the Servicer,  as applicable) by the Indenture  Trustee or to the Issuer and the
Seller (or the Servicer, as applicable) and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders
of at least  25% of the  Outstanding  Amount  of the  Notes,  a  written  notice
specifying  such  default,  demanding  that it be remedied and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

     (e)  the  filing  of a  decree  or  order  for  relief  by a  court  having
jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any substantial part of
the Trust Estate in an involuntary  case under any  applicable  federal or state
bankruptcy,  insolvency  or other  similar law now or  hereafter  in effect,  or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or

by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an  involuntary  case under
any such  law,  or the  consent  by the  Issuer  to the  appointment  or  taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator
or  similar  official  of the  Issuer or for any  substantial  part of the Trust
Estate, or the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts
become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in  furtherance  of any of the
foregoing.

The Issuer shall  deliver to the  Indenture  Trustee  within five  Business Days
after  learning  of the  occurrence  thereof,  written  notice in the form of an
Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse
of time would become an Event of Default  under Section  5.1(d),  its status and
what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     (a) If an Event of  Default  should  occur and be  continuing,  then and in
every such case,  unless the  principal  amount of the Notes shall have  already
become due and  payable,  either the  Indenture  Trustee or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may
declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable,  by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) setting
forth the Event or Events of Default,  and upon any such  declaration the unpaid
principal  amount of such  Notes,  together  with  accrued  and unpaid  interest
thereon  through the date of  acceleration,  shall  become  immediately  due and
payable.

     (b) At any time after such  declaration of  acceleration of maturity of the
Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
thereunder has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in
this Article V, the Holders of Notes  representing a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee,
may waive all  Defaults  set forth in the notice  delivered  pursuant to Section
5.2(a),  and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences;  provided,
that no such  rescission  and  annulment  shall  extend to or  affect  any other
Default or impair any right consequent  thereto;  and provided further,  that if
the  Indenture  Trustee  shall have  proceeded  to enforce  any right under this
Indenture and such Proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because
of such  rescission and annulment or for any other reason,  or such  Proceedings
shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in every
such case, the Indenture  Trustee,  the Issuer and the Noteholders,  as the case
may be,  shall be restored  respectively  to their former  positions  and rights
hereunder,  and all rights,  remedies and powers of the Indenture  Trustee,  the
Issuer and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such
Proceedings had been commenced.

     SECTION  5.3  Collection  of  Indebtedness  and  Suits for  Enforcement  by
Indenture Trustee.

     (a) The Issuer  covenants that if an Event of Default occurs and such Event
of Default has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.12, the Issuer shall,  upon
demand of the Indenture Trustee,  pay to the Indenture Trustee,  for the ratable
benefit of the  Noteholders  in  accordance  with their  respective  outstanding
principal  amounts,  the whole  amount  then due and  payable  on such Notes for
principal and interest,  with interest upon the overdue  principal,  at the rate
borne by the Notes  and in  addition  thereto  such  further  amount as shall be
sufficient  to cover  the  costs  and  expenses  of  collection,  including  the
reasonable compensation,  expenses,  disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee and its agents and counsel.

     (b) If the  Issuer  shall  fail  forthwith  to pay such  amounts  upon such
demand,  the  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 the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such  Notes,  wherever  situated,  the  monies  adjudged  or  decreed to be
payable.

     (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,  the Indenture Trustee
may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to
protect  and  enforce  its  rights and the  rights of the  Noteholders,  by such
appropriate  Proceedings  as the Indenture  Trustee shall deem most effective to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement  in this  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 the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by applicable law.

     (d) If there shall be pending,  relative to the Issuer or any other obligor
upon the Notes or any Person  having or  claiming an  ownership  interest in the
Trust Estate,  Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or if a
receiver,  assignee  or trustee in  bankruptcy  or  reorganization,  liquidator,
sequestrator  or  similar  official  shall  have  been  appointed  for or  taken
possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,  or in
case of any other  comparable  judicial  Proceedings  relative  to the Issuer or
other  obligor upon the Notes,  or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or
such other obligor, the 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 the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section 5.3,  shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>

          (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 and to file
     such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
     have  the  claims  of  the  Indenture  Trustee  (including  any  claim  for
     reasonable  compensation  to the  Indenture  Trustee  and each  predecessor
     trustee,  and their  respective  agents,  attorneys  and  counsel,  and for
     reimbursement  of all expenses and liabilities  incurred,  and all advances
     made, by the Indenture  Trustee and each predecessor  trustee,  except as a
     result of negligence or bad faith) and of the  Noteholders  allowed in such
     Proceedings;

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

          (iii) to collect and receive any monies or other  property  payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts  received with
     respect to the claims of the  Noteholders  and of the 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 the  Indenture
     Trustee  or the  Holders  of  Notes  allowed  in any  judicial  proceedings
     relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee,  receiver,  liquidator,  custodian or other similar official in
any such  Proceeding is hereby  authorized by each of such  Noteholders  to make
payments  to the  Indenture  Trustee  for  application  in  accordance  with the
priorities set forth in the Basic Documents, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall
consent to the making of payments  directly to such  Noteholders,  to pay to the
Indenture  Trustee  such  amounts  as shall be  sufficient  to cover  reasonable
compensation  to the  Indenture  Trustee,  each  predecessor  trustee  and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities
incurred,  and all advances made, by the Indenture  Trustee and each predecessor
trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

     (e) Nothing  herein  contained  shall be deemed to authorize  the 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  the  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 this Indenture,  or
under any of the Notes,  may be enforced by the  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  Proceedings  instituted  by the
Indenture  Trustee  shall be  brought  in its own name as  trustee of an express
trust,

                                     - 29 -

<PAGE>

and  any  recovery  of  judgment,  subject  to  the  payment  of  the  expenses,
disbursements  and  compensation  of the  Indenture  Trustee,  each  predecessor
Trustee and their respective  agents and attorneys,  shall be for the benefit of
the Secured  Parties in accordance  with the  priorities  set forth in the Basic
Documents.

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

     SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

     (a) If an Event of Default shall have  occurred and be  continuing  and the
Notes have been accelerated  under Section 5.2(a),  the Indenture Trustee may do
one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

          (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express
     trust for the  collection  of all amounts then due and payable on the Notes
     or under this  Indenture  with respect  thereto,  whether by declaration of
     acceleration or otherwise,  enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
     the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

          (ii)  institute  Proceedings  from  time to time for the  complete  or
     partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

          (iii)  exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take
     any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies
     of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and

          (iv)  sell the  Trust  Estate  or any  portion  thereof  or  rights or
     interest  therein,  at one or more  public  or  private  sales  called  and
     conducted  in any  manner  permitted  by law or elect  to have  the  Issuer
     maintain possession of the Receivables and continue to apply collections on
     such  Receivables  as if there  had been no  declaration  of  acceleration;
     provided,  however,  that the  Indenture  Trustee may not sell or otherwise
     liquidate the Trust Estate  following an Event of Default and  acceleration
     of the  Notes,  unless  (i)  (A)  the  Holders  of  all  of  the  aggregate
     Outstanding  Amount  of the Notes  consent  thereto  (and if such  Event of
     Default  results under  Section  5.1(d) of this  Indenture,  the Holders of
     Certificates representing all of the Voting Interests also consent thereto)
     or (B) the  proceeds  of  such  sale or  liquidation  distributable  to the
     Noteholders and the  Certificateholders are sufficient to discharge in full
     the  principal  of and the  accrued  interest on the Notes and an amount in
     respect of the Certificates equal to (x) the sum of the Certificate Balance
     and any Noteholders' Principal

                                     - 30 -

<PAGE>

     Carryover  Shortfall or  Certificateholders'  Principal Carryover Shortfall
     and (y) the  Certificateholders  Interest Distributable Amount, each at the
     date of such  sale or  liquidation  or (C) (x)  there  has been an Event of
     Default  under  Section  5.1(a),  (b) or (c) or  otherwise  arising  from a
     failure  to make a  required  payment of  principal  on any Notes,  (y) the
     Indenture  Trustee  determines  that the Trust  Estate will not continue to
     provide  sufficient  funds for the payment of  principal of and interest on
     the Notes as and when they would have  become due if the Notes had not been
     declared due and payable, and (z) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent
     of Holders of a majority of the aggregate  Outstanding  Amount of the Notes
     and (ii) 10 days'  prior  written  notice of sale or  liquidation  has been
     given  to  the  Rating   Agencies.   In  determining  such  sufficiency  or
     insufficiency  with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the  Indenture  Trustee
     may,  but need not,  obtain  and 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 Trust
     Estate for such purpose.

     (b) If the  Indenture  Trustee  collects any money or property  pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

          FIRST: to the Indenture  Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7 and
     then to the  Owner  Trustee  for  amounts  due to the  Owner  Trustee  (not
     including  amounts due for  payments to the  Certificateholders)  under the
     Trust Agreement or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

          SECOND:  to the  Collection  Account,  for  distribution  pursuant  to
     Sections 8.01(b) and (e) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 5.5 Optional  Preservation  of the  Receivables.  If the Notes have
been  declared to be due and payable  under  Section 5.2  following  an Event of
Default and such  declaration and its  consequences  have not been rescinded and
annulled in accordance with Section 5.2(b),  the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire
of the  parties  hereto  and the  Secured  Parties  that  there be at all  times
sufficient  funds for the  payment of the  Secured  Obligations  to the  Secured
Parties and the  Indenture  Trustee  shall take such desire  into  account  when
determining  whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate.
In determining  whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the
Indenture  Trustee  may,  but need not,  obtain  and 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 Trust
Estate for such purpose.

     SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right
to  institute  any  Proceeding,  judicial  or  otherwise,  with  respect to this
Indenture,  or for the  appointment  of a receiver or trustee,  or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:

                                     - 31 -

<PAGE>

     (a) such  Holder  has  previously  given  written  notice to the  Indenture
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

     (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
have made written request to the Indenture  Trustee to institute such Proceeding
in  respect  of such  Event  of  Default  in its own name as  Indenture  Trustee
hereunder;

     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable
indemnity  against  the  costs,  expenses  and  liabilities  to be  incurred  in
complying with such request;

     (d) the  Indenture  Trustee for 60 days after its  receipt of such  notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

     (e) no direction  inconsistent  with such written request has been given to
the Indenture  Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have
any right in any manner  whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this  Indenture  to  affect,  disturb  or  prejudice  the rights of any other
Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain  priority or preference  over
any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture,  except
in the manner  herein  provided and for the equal,  ratable (on the basis of the
respective  aggregate  amount of principal and interest,  respectively,  due and
unpaid on the Notes held by each  Noteholder)  and common benefit of all holders
of Notes.  For the protection and  enforcement of the provisions of this Section
5.6, each and every  Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either at law or in equity.

     If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests
and  indemnity  from two or more groups of Holders of Notes,  each  representing
less than a  majority  of the  Outstanding  Amount of the Notes,  the  Indenture
Trustee in its sole  discretion  may  determine  what action,  if any,  shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 5.7  Unconditional  Rights of Noteholders To Receive  Principal and
Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and  unconditional,  to receive
payment  of the  principal  of and  interest,  on  such  Note  on or  after  the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption,  if applicable,  on or after the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                                     - 32 -

<PAGE>

     SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or
any  Noteholder  has  instituted  any  Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been  discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or has been determined  adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such
Noteholder,  then and in every such case the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and
the Noteholders  shall,  subject to any  determination  in such  Proceeding,  be
restored  severally  to  their  respective  former  positions   hereunder,   and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture  Trustee and the Noteholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

     SECTION  5.9  Rights and  Remedies  Cumulative.  No right or remedy  herein
conferred  upon or reserved to the Indenture  Trustee or to the  Noteholders  is
intended  to be  exclusive  of any other  right or remedy,  and every  right and
remedy shall,  to the extent  permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or  otherwise.  The  assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder,  or  otherwise,   shall  not  prevent  the  concurrent  assertion  or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION  5.10 Delay or Omission  Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the
Indenture  Trustee  or any  Holder of any Note to  exercise  any right or remedy
accruing  upon any  Default or Event of Default  shall  impair any such right or
remedy or  constitute  a waiver of any such  Default  or Event of  Default or an
acquiescence  therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture  Trustee or to the  Noteholders  may be exercised  from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed  expedient,  by the Indenture  Trustee or by
the Noteholders, as the case may be.

     SECTION  5.11  Control by  Noteholders.  The  Holders of a majority  of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes  shall,  subject  to  provision  being made for
indemnification  against costs,  expenses and liabilities in a form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that:

     (a) such  direction  shall not be in conflict  with any rule of law or with
this Indenture;

     (b) subject to the  express  terms of Section  5.4,  any  direction  to the
Indenture  Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders
of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

     (c) if the  conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the
Indenture  Trustee  elects to retain the Trust  Estate  pursuant to Section 5.5,
then any direction to the Indenture

                                     - 33 -

<PAGE>

Trustee  by  Holders  of Notes  representing  less than 100% of the  Outstanding
Amount of the Notes to sell or  liquidate  the Trust Estate shall be of no force
and effect; and

     (d) the  Indenture  Trustee may take any other action  deemed proper by the
Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided,  however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not
take any action  that it  determines  might cause it to incur any  liability  or
might  materially  adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting
to such action.

     SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     (a) Prior to the  declaration  of the  acceleration  of the maturity of the
Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes may waive any past  Default or Event of Default
and its  consequences  except a Default  (i) in the payment of  principal  of or
interest  on any of the Notes or (ii) in  respect  of a  covenant  or  provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended  without the consent of the Holder of
each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the  Noteholders  shall be restored to their  respective  former  positions  and
rights  hereunder;  but no such waiver shall extend to any  subsequent  or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

     (b) Upon any such waiver,  such Default  shall cease to exist and be deemed
to have been cured and not to have  occurred,  and any Event of Default  arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every
purpose of this Indenture;  but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

     SECTION 5.13  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture  agree,
and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's  acceptance thereof shall be deemed
to have agreed,  that any court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding
for the  enforcement  of any right or remedy  under  this  Indenture,  or in any
Proceeding  against  the  Indenture  Trustee for any action  taken,  suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such  Proceeding,  and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs,  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such  Proceeding,  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 5.13 shall not apply to:

     (a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee;

     (b) any Proceeding  instituted by any Noteholder,  or group of Noteholders,
in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes; or

                                     - 34 -

<PAGE>

     (c) any Proceeding  instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the  respective  due
dates  expressed  in  such  Note  and in  this  Indenture  (or,  in the  case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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,  that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture.  The
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 shall not hinder,
delay or impede the  execution  of any power  herein  granted  to the  Indenture
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

     SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes.  The  Indenture  Trustee's  right to seek and
recover  judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture  shall not be affected by
the seeking,  obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture  Trustee  against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution  under such  judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any
of the assets of the Issuer.  Any money or property  collected by the  Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

     SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

     (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at
the Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as

of the  Outstanding  Amount of the Notes shall,  exercise all rights,  remedies,

     SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,  the  Indenture
Trustee shall  exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this 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:

          (i) the Indenture  Trustee  undertakes to perform such duties and only
     such duties as are  specifically  set forth in this Indenture and the Trust
     Sale and Servicing  Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall
     be read into this Indenture,  the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or any
     other Basic Document against the Indenture Trustee; and

                                     - 36 -

<PAGE>

          (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part,  the  Indenture  Trustee
     may  conclusively  rely,  as  to  the  truth  of  the  statements  and  the
     correctness  of the  opinions  ex pressed  therein,  upon  certificates  or
     opinions   furnished  to  the  Indenture  Trustee  and  conforming  to  the
     requirements  of this  Indenture;  provided,  however,  that the  Indenture
     Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or
     not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

     (c) The Indenture  Trustee may not be relieved  from  liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct,

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

          (iii) the  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be liable with respect to any
     action  it  takes  or omits  to take in good  faith  in  accordance  with a
     direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.

     (d) The  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be liable for  interest on any money
received by it except as the  Indenture  Trustee  may agree in writing  with the

     (e) Money held in trust by the  Indenture  Trustee  need not be  segregated
from  other  funds  except to the  extent  required  by law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Agreement.

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

     (g) Every  provision of this  Indenture  relating to the Indenture  Trustee
shall be subject to the  provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of
the TIA.

     SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

<PAGE>

     (b) Before the  Indenture  Trustee  acts or refrains  from  acting,  it may

shall not be liable  for any  action it takes or omits to take in good  faith in
reliance on the Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform  any duties  hereunder  either  directly  or by or through  agents or

supervision of, any such agent,  attorney,  custodian or nominee  appointed with
due care by it hereunder.

     (d) The  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith  which it believes  to be  authorized  or within its
rights or powers;  provided,  however, that the Indenture Trustee's conduct does
not constitute wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     (e) The  Indenture  Trustee may  consult  with  counsel,  and the advice or
opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters  relating to this Indenture and
the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability
in respect to any action  taken,  omitted or  suffered by it  hereunder  in good
faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

     (f) The  Indenture  Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this  Indenture at the request or direction
of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have

Indenture  Trustee against the costs,  expenses and  liabilities  which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

     (g) The 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,
debenture,  note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the  Indenture  Trustee,  in its  direction,  may make such  further  inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

     (h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default
or Event of Default  unless a Responsible  Officer of the Indenture  Trustee has
actual knowledge  thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a default is  received  by the  Indenture  Trustee at the  Corporate  Trust
Office of the Indenture  Trustee,  and such notice references the Securities and
this Indenture.

                                     - 38 -

          (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
     to the Indenture Trustee,  including,  without limitation,  its right to be
     indemnified,  are extended to, and shall be  enforceable  by, the Indenture
     Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.

     SECTION 6.3 Indenture  Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture  Trustee in its
individual  or any other  capacity  may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may  otherwise  deal with the Issuer,  the  Servicer or any of their  respective
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture  Trustee;
provided,  however,  that the Indenture  Trustee shall comply with Sections 6.10
and 6.11. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar,  co-registrar or co-paying agent may
do the same with like rights.

     SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not
be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of
the proceeds from the Notes,  and it shall not be responsible  for any statement
of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document  issued in connection with the
sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate
of authentication.

     SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults.  If a Default  occurs and is continuing and
if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee,  the Indenture
Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after
it  occurs.  Except in the case of a  Default  in  payment  of  principal  of or
interest on any Note,  the  Indenture  Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as a committee of its  Responsible  Officers in good faith  determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

     SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.  The Indenture Trustee
shall  deliver to each  Noteholder  the  information  and documents set forth in
Article VII, and, in addition, all such information with respect to the Notes as
may be required  to enable  such Holder to prepare its federal and state  income
tax returns.

     SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.

     (a) The Issuer  shall cause the  Servicer  pursuant to Section  3.09 of the
Pooling and  Servicing  Agreement to pay to the  Indenture  Trustee from time to
time  reasonable   compensation  for  its  services.   The  Indenture  Trustee's
compensation  shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust.  The Issuer shall cause the Servicer  pursuant to Section 3.09 of
the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement to reimburse the 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 the Indenture  Trustee's agents,  external counsel,  accountants and
experts. The Issuer

                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>

shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture  Trustee in accordance  with
Section 6.01 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) The Issuer's  obligations  to the  Indenture  Trustee  pursuant to this
Section 6.7 shall  survive the discharge of this  Indenture.  When the Indenture
Trustee incurs  expenses after the occurrence of a Default  specified in Section
5.1(d)  or (e)  with  respect  to the  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.

     SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

     (a) The  Indenture  Trustee  may at any time give  notice of its  intent to
resign by so notifying the Issuer;  provided,  however, that no such resignation
shall become  effective and the Indenture  Trustee shall not resign prior to the
time set forth in Section  6.8(c).  The  Holders of a  majority  in  Outstanding
Amount of the  Notes may  remove  the  Indenture  Trustee  by so  notifying  the
Indenture  Trustee  and  may  appoint  a  successor   Indenture  Trustee.   Such
resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c).
The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

          (i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

          (ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture
     Trustee or its property; or

          (iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

     (b) If the  Indenture  Trustee  gives  notice of its intent to resign or is
removed or if a vacancy  exists in the office of the  Indenture  Trustee for any
reason  (the  Indenture  Trustee in such event  being  referred to herein as the
retiring Indenture  Trustee),  the Issuer shall promptly appoint and designate a
successor Indenture Trustee.

     (c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment and designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the 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 the Indenture  Trustee under this 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.

                                     - 40 -

<PAGE>

     (d) If a successor  Indenture  Trustee does not take office  within 60 days
after the Indenture  Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes may  petition any court of  competent  jurisdiction  for the
appointment and designation of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

     (f)  Notwithstanding  the replacement of the Indenture  Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.8, the Issuer's  obligations under Section 6.7 and the Servicer's
corresponding  obligations  under the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement  shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee.

     (a) Any corporation into which the Indenture  Trustee may be merged or with
which it may be  consolidated,  or any corporation  resulting from any merger or
consolidation  to  which  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  be  a  party,  or  any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture;  provided,
however, that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
6.11,  without the  execution or filing of any  instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Indenture,  anything in this Indenture to
the contrary notwithstanding.

     (b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or  consolidation
to the Indenture  Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture,
any of the Notes  shall  have been  authenticated  but not  delivered,  any such
successor to the Indenture  Trustee may adopt the certificate of  authentication
of any predecessor 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 the Indenture  Trustee may authenticate  such Notes either in the name of any
predecessor  hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee.
In all such cases such  certificate of  authentication  shall have the same full
force as is  provided  anywhere  in the  Notes or  herein  with  respect  to the
certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 6.10  Appointment  of  Co-Indenture  Trustee or Separate  Indenture
Trustee.

     (a)  Notwithstanding  any other provisions of this Indenture,  at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal  requirement of any  jurisdiction  in which
any part of the Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located,
the  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
Trust  Estate,  and to vest in such Person or Persons,  in such capacity and for
the benefit of the Secured  Parties and (only to the extent  expressly  provided
herein)  the  Certificateholders,  such title to the Trust  Estate,  or any part
hereof,  and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers,
duties,  obligations,  rights and trusts as the  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 6.8.

     (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 the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
     or  performed  by the  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  the  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
     the 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 Trust Estate 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 the
     Indenture Trustee;

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

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

     (c) Any notice,  request or other writing  given to the  Indenture  Trustee
shall be deemed to have been  given to each of the then  separate  trustees  and
co-trustees,  as  effectively  as if  given to each of  them.  Every  instrument
appointing any separate  trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this 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 the
Indenture Trustee or separately,  as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this  Indenture,  specifically  including  every provision of this
Indenture  relating to the conduct of,  affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Indenture Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.

     (d) Any  separate  trustee or  co-trustee  may at any time  constitute  the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact  with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by

                                     - 41 -

<PAGE>

law,  to do any lawful act under or in respect of this  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 the  Indenture
Trustee,  to the extent  permitted by law,  without the  appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

     SECTION 6.11 Eligibility;  Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at
all times satisfy the  requirements  of TIA ss.  310(a).  The Indenture  Trustee
shall have a combined  capital and surplus of at least  $50,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent  published  annual report of condition and (unless  waived by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) it shall have a long term unsecured debt rating
of Baa3 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The Indenture Trustee shall
comply with TIA ss. 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from
the operation of TIA ss. 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other
securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the  requirements for such exclusion
set forth in TIA ss. 310(b)(1) are met.

     SECTION  6.12  Preferential   Collection  of  Claims  Against  Issuer.  The
Indenture  Trustee  shall  comply with TIA ss.  311(a),  excluding  any creditor
relationship  listed in TIA ss.  311(b).  A  trustee  who has  resigned  or been
removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated.

     SECTION 6.13  Representations  and  Warranties  of Indenture  Trustee.  The
Indenture Trustee represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:

     (a) the  Indenture  Trustee  (i) is a  national  banking  association  duly
organized,  validly  existing and in good standing  under the laws of the United
States of America  and (ii)  satisfies  the  eligibility  criteria  set forth in
Section 6.11;

     (b) the  Indenture  Trustee  has full power,  authority  and legal right to

to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture;

     (c) the execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Indenture  Trustee of
this  Indenture  (i) shall not violate any  provision  of any law or  regulation
governing  the banking and trust powers of the  Indenture  Trustee or any order,
writ,  judgment or decree of any court,  arbitrator,  or governmental  authority
applicable to the Indenture Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) shall not violate
any provision of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Indenture  Trustee,  or
(iii) shall not violate any provision of, or constitute,  with or without notice
or lapse of time, a default  under,  or result in the creation or  imposition of
any  lien  on any  properties  included  in the  Trust  Estate  pursuant  to the
provisions of any mortgage, indenture,  contract, agreement or other undertaking
to which it is a party,  which  violation,  default or lien could  reasonably be
expected  to  have  a  materially  adverse  effect  on the  Indenture  Trustee's
performance  or ability to perform  its duties  under this  Indenture  or on the
transactions contemplated in this Indenture;

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

     (d) the execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Indenture  Trustee of
this Indenture shall not require the authorization,  consent or approval of, the
giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other
action in respect  of,  any  governmental  authority  or agency  regulating  the
banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee; and

     (e) this  Indenture  has been duly  executed and delivered by the Indenture
Trustee and constitutes the legal,  valid and binding agreement of the Indenture
Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     SECTION 6.14 Indenture  Trustee May Enforce  Claims  Without  Possession of
Notes.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture  Trustee  without the possession of any
of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding  relating thereto,  and
any such proceeding  instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as Indenture  Trustee.  Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of the  reasonable  compensation,  expenses,  disbursements  and
advances of the Indenture  Trustee,  its agents and counsel,  be for the ratable
benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent  expressly  provided  herein)
the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

     SECTION 6.15 Suit for  Enforcement.  If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing,  the Indenture  Trustee,  in its discretion  may,  subject to the
provisions  of Section  6.1,  proceed to protect  and enforce its rights and the
rights of the  Noteholders  under this  Indenture by Proceeding  whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or
in aid of the  execution  of any  power  granted  in this  Indenture  or for the
enforcement  of any other  legal,  equitable  or other  remedy as the  Indenture
Trustee,  being  advised by counsel,  shall deem most  effectual  to protect and
enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.

     SECTION 6.16 Rights of Noteholders to Direct Indenture Trustee.  Holders of
Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
shall have the right to direct  the time,  method  and place of  conducting  any
Proceeding for any remedy  available to the Indenture  Trustee or exercising any
trust or power  conferred on the  Indenture  Trustee;  provided,  however,  that
subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such  direction if the  Indenture  Trustee  being  advised by counsel
determines  that the action so directed  may not  lawfully  be taken,  or if the
Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer,  determine that
the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability
or be unduly  prejudicial  to the  rights of  Noteholders  not  parties  to such
direction;  and provided,  further,  that nothing in this Indenture shall impair
the right of the  Indenture  Trustee  to take any  action  deemed  proper by the

Issuer Order, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(b) of the Trust Sale and
Servicing  Agreement.  The Issuer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make
any  investment  of any  funds  or to  sell  any  investment  held in any of the

such sale,  in either case  without any  further  action by any Person,  and, in
connection  with  any  direction  to the  Indenture  Trustee  to make  any  such
investment  or sale,  if requested by the  Indenture  Trustee,  the Issuer shall
deliver  to the  Indenture  Trustee an  Opinion  of  Counsel  acceptable  to the

Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity
as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

     (c) If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give  investment  directions for
any funds on deposit in the  Designated  Accounts  to the  Indenture  Trustee by
11:00  a.m.,  New York  City  Time (or such  other  time as may be agreed by the
Issuer and the  Indenture  Trustee)  on any  Business  Day; or (ii) a Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes
but the Notes shall not have been  declared due and payable  pursuant to Section
5.2,  or, if such Notes shall have been  declared  due and payable  following an
Event of Default,  but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are
being  applied in  accordance  with  Section 5.5 as if there had not been such a
declaration;   then  the  Indenture   Trustee  shall,   to  the  fullest  extent
practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Designated Accounts in one or more
Eligible Investments selected by the Indenture Trustee.

Indenture,  or convey the Indenture  Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner
and  under  circumstances  that  are  consistent  with  the  provisions  of this
Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee
as provided  in this  Article  VIII shall be bound to  ascertain  the  Indenture
Trustee's  authority,  inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
or see to the application of any monies.

Outstanding  and all sums due to the Indenture  Trustee  pursuant to Section 6.7
have been paid and all amounts owing under each Third Party Instrument have been
paid,  release any remaining  portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes
and the other Secured Obligations from the lien of this Indenture and release to
the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the
Designated Accounts.  The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien
of this Indenture  pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) only upon receipt by it of an
Issuer  Request  and an  Officer's  Certificate,  an Opinion of Counsel  and (if
required by the TIA)  Independent  Certificates  in  accordance  with TIA ss.ss.

pursuant to Section 8.4(a),  accompanied by copies of any instruments  involved,
and the Indenture  Trustee shall also require as a condition to such action,  an
Opinion of Counsel and a Materiality Opinion, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee, 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
shall  not  materially  and  adversely  impair  the  security  for  the  Secured
Obligations  or the  rights  of the  Secured  Parties  in  contravention  of the
provisions of this Indenture;  provided,  however,  that such Opinion of Counsel
and  Materiality  Opinion  shall not be required to express an opinion as to the
fair value of the Trust  Estate.  Counsel  rendering  any such opinion may rely,
without  independent  investigation,   on  the  accuracy  and  validity  of  any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection
with any such action.

     principal  due  on  any  Note  on  any  Distribution  Date  (including  the
     calculation of any of the individual  components of such  calculation),  or
     modify or alter the  provisions  of the  Indenture  regarding the voting of
     Notes held by the Issuer, the Seller or any Affiliate of either of them; or

          (vii) permit the creation of any Lien ranking  prior to or on a parity
     with the  lien of this  Indenture  with  respect  to any part of the  Trust
     Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein,  terminate
     the lien of this Indenture on any property at any

                                     - 52 -

     time  subject  thereto  or deprive  the Holder of any Note of the  security
     afforded by the lien of this Indenture.

     (b) The Indenture  Trustee may in its discretion  determine  whether or not
any Notes would be affected (such that the consent of each  Noteholder  would be
required) by any supplemental  indenture  proposed  pursuant to this Section 9.2
and any such  determination  shall be  binding  upon the  Holders  of all Notes,
whether  authenticated  and delivered  thereunder  before or after the date upon
which such supplemental indenture becomes effective. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

     (c) It shall be sufficient if an Act of Noteholders approves the substance,
but not the form, of any proposed supplemental indenture.

     (d) Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental  indenture  pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Noteholders to which such amendment or supplemental  indenture
relates  a  notice  setting  forth  in  general  terms  the  substance  of  such
supplemental  indenture.  Any  failure  of the  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  9.3  Execution  of  Supplemental  Indentures.   In  executing,  or
permitting  the  additional  trusts  created  by,  any  supplemental   indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications  thereby of the trusts created
by this  Indenture,  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall be entitled to receive,  and
subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2,  shall be fully  protected in relying  upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental  indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated  to, enter into any such supple mental  indenture  that affects
the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 9.4 Effect of  Supplemental  Indenture.  Upon the  execution of any
supplemental  indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof,  this Indenture shall
be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect
to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations,  duties,  liabilities  and  immunities  under this Indenture of the
Indenture   Trustee,   the  Issuer  and  the  Noteholders  shall  thereafter  be
determined,  exercised  and enforced  hereunder  subject in all respects to such
modifications  and  amendments,  and all the  terms and  conditions  of any such
supplemental  indenture  shall  be and be  deemed  to be part of the  terms  and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     SECTION 9.5 Conformity  with Trust  Indenture Act. Every  amendment of this
Indenture and every supplemental  indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX
shall conform to

                                     - 53 -

<PAGE>

the  requirements  of the TIA as then in effect so long as this Indenture  shall
then be qualified under the TIA.

     SECTION  9.6  Reference  in  Notes  to   Supplemental   Indentures.   Notes
authenticated  and delivered after the execution of any  supplemental  indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a  notation  in form  approved  by the  Indenture  Trustee as to any matter
provided  for in such  supplemental  indenture.  If the Issuer or the  Indenture
Trustee shall so determine,  new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental  indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and  authenticated  and  delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes of the same class.

                                    ARTICLE X
                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

     SECTION 10.1 Redemption.  The Redeemable Notes are subject to redemption in
whole,  but not in part,  upon the  exercise  by the  Servicer  of its option to
purchase  the  Receivables  pursuant  to  Section  8.01 of the  Trust  Sale  and
Servicing  Agreement.  The  date on which  such  redemption  shall  occur is the
Distribution Date following the Optional Purchase Date identified by Servicer in
its notice of exercise of such  purchase  option (the  "Redemption  Date").  The
purchase  price  for the  Redeemable  Notes  shall be  equal  to the  applicable
Redemption Price, provided the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay such
amount.  The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating  Agencies notice of
such  redemption.  If the Redeemable  Notes are to be redeemed  pursuant to this
Section  10.1,  the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish  notice  thereof to the
Indenture  Trustee not later than 25 days prior to the  Redemption  Date and the
Indenture  Trustee  (based on such notice) shall  withdraw  from the  Collection
Account and deposit into the Note Distribution  Account, on the Redemption Date,
the aggregate Redemption Price of the Redeemable Notes, whereupon all such Notes
shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date.

     SECTION 10.2 Form of Redemption Notice.

     (a) Notice of redemption of the  Redeemable  Notes under Section 10.1 shall
be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail,  postage prepaid,  mailed
not  less  than  five  days  prior  to the  applicable  Redemption  Date to each
Noteholder of Redeemable Notes of record at such Noteholder's  address appearing
in the Note Register.

     (b) All notices of redemption shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

                                     - 54 -
<PAGE>

          (ii) the applicable Redemption Price; and

          (iii) the place  where  Redeemable  Notes  are to be  surrendered  for
     payment of the  Redemption  Price (which shall be the Agency  Office of the
     Indenture Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2).

     (c) Notice of  redemption  of the  Redeemable  Notes  shall be given by the
Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.  Failure to give
notice of  redemption,  or any defect  therein,  to any Holder of any Redeemable
Note shall not  impair or affect the  validity  of the  redemption  of any other
Redeemable Note.

     SECTION 10.3 Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

     The Redeemable  Notes shall,  following notice of redemption as required by
Section 10.2, on the  Redemption  Date cease to be  Outstanding  for purposes of
this  Indenture  and shall  thereafter  represent  only the right to receive the
applicable  Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment
of such Redemption  Price) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for
any period after the date to which accrued  interest is calculated  for purposes
of calculating such Redemption Price.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

     (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture  Trustee

furnish to the Indenture Trustee: (i) an Officer's  Certificate stating that all
conditions  precedent,  if any,  provided for in this 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  11.1,  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 this  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 this 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 judgment 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.

or other property or securities  that is to be made the basis for the release of
any property or  securities  subject to the lien of this  Indenture,  the Issuer
shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Sec tion 11.1(a) or elsewhere in
this  Indenture,  furnish  to the  Indenture  Trustee an  Officer's  Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such  certificate as to
the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the  Collateral
or other property or securities to be so deposited.

          (ii)  Whenever  the Issuer is  required  to  furnish to the  Indenture
     Trustee an Officer's  Certificate  certifying or stating the opinion of any
     signer  thereof as to the matters  described in clause  (b)(i)  above,  the
     Issuer  shall  also  deliver  to  the  Indenture   Trustee  an  Independent
     Certificate as to the same matters,  if the fair value to the Issuer of the
     securities to be so deposited and of all other such  securities made on the
     basis of any such withdrawal or release since the  commencement of the then
     current  fiscal  year  of the  Issuer,  as set  forth  in the  certificates
     delivered  pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (b)(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  the  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  Warranty
     Receivables,   Administrative   Receivables  or  Liquidating   Receivables,
     whenever any  property or  securities  are to be released  from the lien of
     this Indenture,  the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture  Trustee an
     Officer's  Certificate  certifying  or stating  the  opinion of each Person
     signing  such  certificate  as to the fair  value  (within  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 this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

          (iv)  Whenever  the Issuer is  required  to  furnish to the  Indenture
     Trustee an Officer's  Certificate  certifying or stating the opinion of any
     signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause (b)(iii) above, the
     Issuer  shall  also  furnish  to  the  Indenture   Trustee  an  Independent
     Certificate  as to the same  matters if the fair value of the  property  or
     securities  and of all other  property,  other than  Warranty  Receivables,
     Administrative  Receivables  and  Liquidating  Receivables,  or  securities
     released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then
     current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates  required by clause
     (b)(iii)  above  and  this  clause  (b)(iv),  equals  10%  or  more  of the
     Outstanding Amount 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 Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section
     11.1, the Issuer may (A) collect,  liquidate,  sell or otherwise dispose of
     Receivables  as  and to the  extent  permitted  or  required  by the  Basic
     Documents,  (B) make cash payments out of the  Designated  Accounts and the
     Certificate Distribution Account as and to the extent permitted or required
     by the Basic Documents and (C) take any other action not inconsistent  with
     the TIA.

          SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

     (a) 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.

     (b) Any  certificate or opinion of an Authorized  Officer of the 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 any  certificate,  opinion or
representation with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion
is based is erroneous.  Any such certificate of an Authorized 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 the
Servicer,  the  Seller,  the  Issuer  or the  Administrator,  stating  that  the
information  with respect to such factual  matters is in the  possession  of the
Servicer,  the Seller,  the Issuer or the  Administrator,  unless  such  counsel
knows,  or in the exercise of reasonable  care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

     (d) Whenever in this  Indenture,  in  connection  with any  application  or
certificate or report to the Indenture  Trustee,  it is provided that the Issuer
shall  deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such  application,
or as evidence of the 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 the Issuer to have such application  granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however,  be
construed  to affect the  Indenture  Trustee's  right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion  contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.

     SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action  provided by this  Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
or a class  of  Noteholders  may be  embodied  in and  evidenced  by one or more
instruments of substantially  similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person
or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided such action shall become  effective when such instrument or instruments
are  delivered  to the  Indenture  Trustee,  and,  where it is hereby  expressly
required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced  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 this  Indenture  and  (subject  to Section  6.1)
conclusive  in favor of the  Indenture  Trustee and the  Issuer,  if made in the
manner provided in this Section 11.3.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument
or  writing  may be  proved  in any  manner  that the  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  (or any one or more  Predecessor
Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration  thereof
or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted
or  suffered  to be done by the  Indenture  Trustee  or the  Issuer in  reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

     SECTION  11.4  Notices,  etc.,  to  Indenture  Trustee,  Issuer  and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other

                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>

documents  provided or  permitted by this  Indenture  to be made upon,  given or
furnished to or filed with:

     (a) the  Indenture  Trustee by any  Noteholder  or by the  Issuer  shall be
sufficient  for every purpose  hereunder if made,  given,  furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

     (b) the  Issuer by the  Indenture  Trustee  or by any  Noteholder  shall be
sufficient  for  every  purpose  hereunder  if in  writing  and  either  sent by
electronic  facsimile  transmission  (with hard copy to follow  via first  class
mail) or mailed,  by certified mail,  return receipt requested to the Issuer and
the Owner Trustee each at the address  specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement.

     The Issuer  shall  promptly  transmit  any notice  received  by it from the
Noteholders  to the  Indenture  Trustee.  The Indenture  Trustee shall  likewise
promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer.

     (c) Notices  required to be given to the Rating  Agencies by the Issuer and
the  Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee shall be delivered as specified in
Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

     (a) Where this  Indenture  provides for notice to Noteholders of any event,
such notice shall be  sufficiently  given  (unless  otherwise  herein  expressly
provided) if it is in writing and mailed,  first-class,  postage prepaid to each
Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person's 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.  If 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  Note holder shall affect the  sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Noteholders,  and any notice that is mailed in
the manner  herein  provided  shall  conclusively  be presumed to have been duly
given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

     (b) Where this Indenture 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 the  Indenture
Trustee but such filing  shall not be a condition  precedent  to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

     (c) In case,  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 of

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>

Noteholders  when such notice is required to be given  pursuant to any provision
of  this  Indenture,  then  any  manner  of  giving  such  notice  as  shall  be
satisfactory to the Indenture  Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice.

     (d) Where  this  Indenture  provides  for  notice to the  Rating  Agencies,
failure to give such  notice  shall not affect any other  rights or  obligations
created hereunder,  and shall not under any circumstance  constitute an Event of
Default.

     SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.  Notwithstanding  any
provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary,  the Issuer may
enter into any  agreement  with any Holder of a Note  providing  for a method of
payment,  or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder,
that is  different  from the methods  provided  for in this  Indenture  for such
payments or notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of
each such  agreement and the Indenture  Trustee shall cause  payments to be made
and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

     SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

     (a) If any provision  hereof  limits,  qualifies or conflicts  with another
provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the
provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

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

     SECTION  11.8 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 11.9 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) All  covenants and  agreements  in this  Indenture and the Notes by the
Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     (b) All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     SECTION 11.10 Severability.

     In case any  provision in this  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 11.11 Benefits of Indenture.

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,  express or implied,  shall give
to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and
to   the   extent   expressly    provided   herein,    the   Noteholders,    the
Certificateholders,  any other party secured hereunder, any other Person with an
ownership  interest  in any part of the Trust  Estate  and any holder of a Third
Party Instrument,  any benefit or any legal or equitable right,  remedy or claim
under  this  Indenture.  The  holder  of a Third  Party  Instrument  shall  be a
third-party  beneficiary  to this  Agreement  only to the extent that it has any
rights specified herein or rights with respect to this Indenture specified under
the Swap Counterparty Rights Agreement.

     SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays.

     If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business  Day,  then
(notwithstanding  any other  provision of the Notes or this  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 11.13 GOVERNING LAW.

     THIS INDENTURE  SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK,  WITHOUT  REFERENCE  TO ITS  CONFLICT  OF LAW  PROVISIONS,  AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     SECTION 11.14 Counterparts.

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of 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 11.15 Recording of Indenture.

     If this  Indenture  is  subject  to  recording  in any  appropriate  public
recording  offices,  such  recording  is to be effected by the Issuer and at its
expense  accompanied  by an  Opinion  of  Counsel  (which  may be counsel to the
Indenture  Trustee or any other counsel  reasonably  acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee)  to the  effect  that  such  recording  is  necessary  either  for  the
protection of the  Noteholders or any other Person secured  hereunder or for the
enforcement of any right or remedy  granted to the Indenture  Trustee under this
Indenture.

hereunder,  the Owner  Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits

year and one day after the  termination  of this  Indenture  with respect to the
Issuer pursuant to Section 4.1, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause

     SECTION 11.18 Inspection.

     The Issuer  agrees that, on  reasonable  prior notice,  it shall permit any
representative  of the Indenture  Trustee,  during the Issuer's  normal business

audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's
affairs,  finances  and  accounts  with the  Issuer's  officers,  employees  and
Independent  certified public  accountants,  all at such reasonable times and as
often as may be  reasonably  requested.  The  Indenture  Trustee shall and shall
cause its  representatives  to hold in confidence all such information except to
the extent  disclosure may be required by law (and all  reasonable  applications

with respect to this Note shall be applied  first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     Reference is made to the further  provisions  of this Note set forth on the
reverse  hereof,  which shall have the same effect as though  fully set forth on

not be entitled to any benefit  under the  Indenture  referred to on the reverse

                                 REVERSE OF NOTE

     This  Note  is one of a duly  authorized  issue  of  Notes  of the  Issuer,
designated as its Class A-__ Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes (herein called the
"Class A-  Notes"),  all issued  under an  Indenture,  dated as of June 26, 2001
(such Indenture,  as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between  the  Issuer  and  Bank  One,  National  Association,  as  trustee  (the
"Indenture  Trustee",  which  term  includes  any  successor  trustee  under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is  hereby  made  for a  statement  of the  respective  rights  and  obligations
thereunder of the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.  The Class
A-___ Notes are one of several  duly  authorized  classes of Notes of the Issuer
issued  pursuant  to the  Indenture  (collectively,  as to all Notes of all such
classes, the "Notes"). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the
Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which
Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance  hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
in this Note that are  defined in the  Indenture,  as  supplemented  or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

     The Class A-__ Notes and all other Notes issued  pursuant to the  Indenture
are and will be  equally  and  ratably  secured  by the  Collateral  pledged  as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that no
recourse may be taken,  directly or indirectly,  with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer,  the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the  Indenture or any  certificate  or other  writing  delivered  in  connection
therewith,  against  (i) the  Indenture  Trustee  or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  (ii) the  Seller  or any  other  owner of a  beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director  or  employee of the  Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  any holder of a beneficial  interest in the Issuer, the
Owner  Trustee or the  Indenture  Trustee or of any  successor  or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as
any such  Person may have  expressly  agreed and except  that any such  partner,
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 instalment or call owing to such entity.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture such  Noteholder  will not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the  termination of this Indenture with
respect to the  Issuer,  acquiesce,  petition or  otherwise  invoke or cause the
Seller or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government  authority
for the

                                      - 4 -

purpose of  commencing  or  sustaining  a case  against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver,  liquidator,  assignee,  trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator  or  other
similar  official  of the  Seller or the Issuer or any  substantial  part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

     Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note,  expresses its intention that this Note qualifies
under  applicable tax law as indebtedness  secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities,  agrees to treat the Notes
as  indebtedness  secured by the  Collateral  for the purpose of federal  income
taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax,
and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any agent of the  Issuer or the  Indenture
Trustee  may  treat  the  Person  in  whose  name  this  Note  (as of the day of
determination  or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,  whether or not this Note shall
be overdue,  and neither the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture  permits,  with certain  exceptions as therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders  under the Indenture at any time by the
Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes  representing  a majority of the
Outstanding  Amount of all the Notes.  The Indenture  also  contains  provisions
permitting  the  Holders  of Notes  representing  specified  percentages  of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes,  on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive  compliance  by the Issuer with certain  provisions  of the  Indenture and
certain past  defaults  under the  Indenture  and their  consequences.  Any such
consent  or  waiver by the  Holder of this Note (or any one of more  Predecessor
Notes)  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note  issued upon the  registration  of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent  or waiver is made  upon this  Note.  The  Indenture  also  permits  the
Indenture  Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and  conditions  set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

     The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer
under the Indenture.

     The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain circumstances,  to
merge or  consolidate,  subject to the rights of the  Indenture  Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

                                      - 5 -

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided
in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

     This Note and the Indenture  shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York,  without  reference to its conflict of law provisions,
and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder
shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     No reference  herein to the  Indenture  and no provision of this Note or of
the  Indenture  shall alter or impair the  obligation  of the  Issuer,  which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Anything  herein  to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  except  as  expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their  respective  individual  capacities,  any
owner of a  beneficial  interest  in the  Issuer,  nor any of  their  respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns,  shall be  personally  liable for, nor shall  recourse be had to any of
them for,  the payment of principal  of or interest  on, or  performance  of, or
omission to  perform,  any of the  covenants,  obligations  or  indemnifications
contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said
covenants,  obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee
solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note
by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly  provided in the Basic
Documents,  in the case of an Event of Default under the  Indenture,  the Holder
shall have no claim  against any of the foregoing  for any  deficiency,  loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent  recourse to, and enforcement  against,  the assets of the Issuer for
any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture
or in this Note.

     _______________   DOLLARS  ($_________)  payable  in  accordance  with  the

     Distribution  Date in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying

     hereof and the denominator of which is aggregate  initial  principal amount
     for such Class A-__ Notes by

Note  Distribution  Account  in  respect  of  principal  on the Class A-__ Notes
pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.1 and 8.2(c) of the  Indenture;  provided,  however,

Redemption Date, if any,  pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.  The Issuer
shall  pay  interest  on this  Note at the rate per  annum  shown  above on each

Distribution  Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the
preceding  Distribution  Date  (or,  for  the  initial  Distribution  Date,  the
outstanding principal balance on the Closing Date)).  Interest on the Class A-__
Notes will accrue from and including  the Closing  Date,  and will be payable on

shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such class entitled thereto.

     The  principal  of and  interest  on this Note are  payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America which, at the time of payment, is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.  All payments made by the Issuer
with respect to this Note shall be applied  first to interest due and payable on
this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

     Reference is made to the further  provisions  of this Note set forth on the
reverse  hereof,  which shall have the same effect as though  fully set forth on
the face of this Note.

     Unless the  certificate of  authentication  hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature,  this Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit  under the  Indenture  referred to on the reverse
hereof or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

     This  Note  is one of a duly  authorized  issue  of  Notes  of the  Issuer,
designated as its Class A-__ __% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the "Class A-
Notes"),  all  issued  under  an  Indenture,  dated as of June  26,  2001  (such
Indenture,  as  supplemented  or  amended,  is herein  called the  "Indenture"),
between  the  Issuer  and  Bank  One,  National  Association,  as  trustee  (the
"Indenture  Trustee",  which  term  includes  any  successor  trustee  under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is  hereby  made  for a  statement  of the  respective  rights  and  obligations
thereunder of the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.  The Class
A-___ Notes are one of several  duly  authorized  classes of Notes of the Issuer
issued  pursuant  to the  Indenture  (collectively,  as to all Notes of all such
classes, the "Notes"). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the
Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which
Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance  hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
in this Note that are  defined in the  Indenture,  as  supplemented  or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

     The Class A-__ Notes and all other Notes issued  pursuant to the  Indenture
are and will be  equally  and  ratably  secured  by the  Collateral  pledged  as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that no
recourse may be taken,  directly or indirectly,  with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer,  the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the  Indenture or any  certificate  or other  writing  delivered  in  connection
therewith,  against  (i) the  Indenture  Trustee  or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  (ii) the  Seller  or any  other  owner of a  beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director  or  employee of the  Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  any holder of a beneficial  interest in the Issuer, the
Owner  Trustee or the  Indenture  Trustee or of any  successor  or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as
any such  Person may have  expressly  agreed and except  that any such  partner,
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 instalment or call owing to such entity.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture such  Noteholder  will not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the  termination of this Indenture with
respect to the  Issuer,  acquiesce,  petition or  otherwise  invoke or cause the
Seller or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government  authority
for the

                                      - 4 -

purpose of  commencing  or  sustaining  a case  against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver,  liquidator,  assignee,  trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator  or  other
similar  official  of the  Seller or the Issuer or any  substantial  part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

     Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note,  expresses its intention that this Note qualifies
under  applicable tax law as indebtedness  secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities,  agrees to treat the Notes
as  indebtedness  secured by the  Collateral  for the purpose of federal  income
taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax,
and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any agent of the  Issuer or the  Indenture
Trustee  may  treat  the  Person  in  whose  name  this  Note  (as of the day of
determination  or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,  whether or not this Note shall
be overdue,  and neither the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture  permits,  with certain  exceptions as therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders  under the Indenture at any time by the
Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes  representing  a majority of the
Outstanding  Amount of all the Notes.  The Indenture  also  contains  provisions
permitting  the  Holders  of Notes  representing  specified  percentages  of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes,  on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive  compliance  by the Issuer with certain  provisions  of the  Indenture and
certain past  defaults  under the  Indenture  and their  consequences.  Any such
consent  or  waiver by the  Holder of this Note (or any one of more  Predecessor
Notes)  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note  issued upon the  registration  of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent  or waiver is made  upon this  Note.  The  Indenture  also  permits  the
Indenture  Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and  conditions  set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

     The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer
under the Indenture.

     The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain circumstances,  to
merge or  consolidate,  subject to the rights of the  Indenture  Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

                                      - 5 -

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided
in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

     This Note and the Indenture  shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York,  without  reference to its conflict of law provisions,
and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder
shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     No reference  herein to the  Indenture  and no provision of this Note or of
the  Indenture  shall alter or impair the  obligation  of the  Issuer,  which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Anything  herein  to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  except  as  expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their  respective  individual  capacities,  any
owner of a  beneficial  interest  in the  Issuer,  nor any of  their  respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns,  shall be  personally  liable for, nor shall  recourse be had to any of
them for,  the payment of principal  of or interest  on, or  performance  of, or
omission to  perform,  any of the  covenants,  obligations  or  indemnifications
contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said
covenants,  obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee
solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note
by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly  provided in the Basic
Documents,  in the case of an Event of Default under the  Indenture,  the Holder
shall have no claim  against any of the foregoing  for any  deficiency,  loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent  recourse to, and enforcement  against,  the assets of the Issuer for
any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture
or in this Note.

Outstanding  Amount of all the Notes.  The Indenture  also  contains  provisions
permitting  the  Holders  of Notes  representing  specified  percentages  of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes,  on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to

Notes)  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note  issued upon the  registration  of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent  or waiver is made  upon this  Note.  The  Indenture  also  permits  the
Indenture  Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and  conditions  set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

under the Indenture.

     The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain circumstances,  to

                                 REVERSE OF NOTE

     This  Note  is one of a duly  authorized  issue  of  Notes  of the  Issuer,
designated as its Class A-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes (herein  called the
"Class A-1  Notes"),  all issued under an  Indenture,  dated as of June 26, 2001
(such Indenture,  as supplemented or amended, is herein called the "Indenture"),
between  the  Issuer  and  Bank  One,  National  Association,  as  trustee  (the
"Indenture  Trustee",  which  term  includes  any  successor  trustee  under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is  hereby  made  for a  statement  of the  respective  rights  and  obligations
thereunder of the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.  The Class
A-1 Notes are one of  several  duly  authorized  classes  of Notes of the Issuer
issued  pursuant  to the  Indenture  (collectively,  as to all Notes of all such
classes, the "Notes"). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the
Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which
Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance  hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
in this Note that are  defined in the  Indenture,  as  supplemented  or amended,
shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

     The Class A-1 Notes and all other Notes  issued  pursuant to the  Indenture
are and will be  equally  and  ratably  secured  by the  Collateral  pledged  as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that no
recourse may be taken,  directly or indirectly,  with respect to the obligations
of the Issuer,  the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the  Indenture or any  certificate  or other  writing  delivered  in  connection
therewith,  against  (i) the  Indenture  Trustee  or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  (ii) the  Seller  or any  other  owner of a  beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director  or  employee of the  Indenture  Trustee or the Owner  Trustee in their
individual  capacities,  any holder of a beneficial  interest in the Issuer, the
Owner  Trustee or the  Indenture  Trustee or of any  successor  or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as
any such  Person may have  expressly  agreed and except  that any such  partner,
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 instalment or call owing to such entity.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a
Note  Owner,  a  beneficial  interest  in a Note,  covenants  and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture such  Noteholder  will not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day after the  termination of this Indenture with
respect to the  Issuer,  acquiesce,  petition or  otherwise  invoke or cause the
Seller or the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government  authority
for the

                                      - 4 -

purpose of  commencing  or  sustaining  a case  against the Seller or the Issuer
under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver,  liquidator,  assignee,  trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator  or  other
similar  official  of the  Seller or the Issuer or any  substantial  part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller
or the Issuer.

     Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note,  expresses its intention that this Note qualifies
under  applicable tax law as indebtedness  secured by the Collateral and, unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities,  agrees to treat the Notes
as  indebtedness  secured by the  Collateral  for the purpose of federal  income
taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax,
and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any agent of the  Issuer or the  Indenture
Trustee  may  treat  the  Person  in  whose  name  this  Note  (as of the day of
determination  or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,  whether or not this Note shall
be overdue,  and neither the Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Indenture  permits,  with certain  exceptions as therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders  under the Indenture at any time by the
Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes  representing  a majority of the
Outstanding  Amount of all the Notes.  The Indenture  also  contains  provisions
permitting  the  Holders  of Notes  representing  specified  percentages  of the
Outstanding  Amount of the Notes,  on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive  compliance  by the Issuer with certain  provisions  of the  Indenture and
certain past  defaults  under the  Indenture  and their  consequences.  Any such
consent  or  waiver by the  Holder of this Note (or any one of more  Predecessor
Notes)  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note  issued upon the  registration  of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent  or waiver is made  upon this  Note.  The  Indenture  also  permits  the
Indenture  Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and  conditions  set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

     The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer
under the Indenture.

     The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain circumstances,  to
merge or  consolidate,  subject to the rights of the  Indenture  Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
