                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

            SECTION 9.01. Indemnification of Purchaser. Each of the Issuer and
the Depositor hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or judgments (including accounting fees and reasonable
legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Note Purchase
Agreement or any other Basic Document and any action, suit or proceeding or any
claim asserted) (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred (payable promptly upon
written request), for or on account of or arising from or in connection with any
information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer,
the Loan Originator, the Depositor, the Advance Trust, the Advance Depositor or
the Receivables Seller pursuant to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby including, without limitation, such written information as
may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence
investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of
the Issuer, the Loan Originator, the Depositor, the Advance Trust, the Advance
Depositor or the Receivables Seller or with respect to the Loans, the Residual
Securities or the Advance Note, to the extent such information contains any
untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein in the light of the circumstances under
which such statements were made not misleading, except with respect to any such
information used by such Indemnified Party in violation of the Basic Documents
which results in such Losses. The indemnities contained in this Section 9.01
will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or the Depositor may
otherwise have pursuant to this Note Purchase Agreement and any other Basic
Document.

            SECTION 9.02. Procedure and Defense. In case any action or
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or
proceeding) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party in respect of
which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.01, such Indemnified Party
shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Depositor in writing and, upon request

                                       16
<PAGE>

of the Indemnified Party, the Issuer and the Depositor shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate and shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that failure
to give such notice or deliver such documents shall not affect the rights to
indemnity hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the rights of the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the Issuer and/or the
Depositor, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the
expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the
Indemnified Party at its expense has been reasonably authorized in writing by
the Depositor or the Issuer, (ii) the Depositor or the Issuer has not in fact
employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time
after receiving notice of the commencement of the action or (iii) the named
parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include the Depositor or the Issuer and one or more Indemnified Parties, and the
Indemnified Parties shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or
more legal defenses available to them which are different from or additional to
those available to the Depositor or the Issuer. Reasonable expenses of counsel
to any Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Issuer and the Depositor as
they are incurred. The Issuer and the Depositor shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding affected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Neither the
Issuer nor the Depositor will, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise

                                       17

rights and obligations under this Note Purchase Agreement shall remain
unchanged, the Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance
thereof, and the Issuer and the Depositor shall continue to deal solely and

to provide to any subsequent Purchaser, permitted assignees and Participants,

Participants agree to be bound by Section 8.05 hereof.

            SECTION 10.06. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS NOTE PURCHASE

RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

one day after the last day on which any amount is outstanding under this Note
Purchase Agreement, the Depositor and the Purchaser hereby covenant and agree
that they will not institute against the Issuer or the Depositor, or join in any

proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

            SECTION 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Note Purchase

the same agreement.

            SECTION 10.09. No Recourse -- Purchaser and Depositor.

            (a) The obligations of the Purchaser under this Note Purchase
Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed
and delivered by or issued by the Purchaser or any officer thereof are solely
the partnership or corporate obligations of the Purchaser, as the case may be.
No recourse shall be had for payment of any fee or other obligation or claim
arising out of or relating to this Note Purchase Agreement or any other
agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued
by the Purchaser or any officer thereof in connection therewith, against any
stockholder, limited partner, employee, officer, director or incorporator of the

Depositor.

            (c) The Purchaser, by accepting the Purchased Note, acknowledges
that such Purchased Note represents an obligation of the Issuer and does not
represent an interest in or an obligation of the Loan Originator, the Servicer,

assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement,

Purchase Agreement (a) acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent of the

Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no
circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the
payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the
