registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note

and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain

      At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the
same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, provided that the
requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met (as determined by the Issuer),
the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the
Noteholder


                                       11

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.

      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 duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or
such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with
the Exchange Act.

transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the 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 Section 2.03 or 9.06 not
involving any transfer.

      The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall
not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or
exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15
days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

      Section 2.05.     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 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, (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 and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then,
in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer
shall execute, and upon its written 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 the same Class; 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 pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or
upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of
such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a Protected Purchaser 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 the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a
protected purchaser,


                                       12



and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

      Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of
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 at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

      The provisions of this Section 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 2.06.     Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and
none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective agents
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      Section 2.07.     Payment of Principal and Interest, Defaulted Interest.

      (a)   Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest at the related Interest
Rate, and such interest shall be due and payable on each Payment Date as
specified therein, subject to Sections 3.01 and 11.12 hereof. Any installment of
interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or
duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to
such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date,
except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.11,
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal
payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date, a Redemption Date or on the
related Final Scheduled Payment Date, as the case may be (and except for the
Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01),
which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such
checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.


                                       13



      (b)   The principal of each Note shall be payable as provided in Section
8.02(d) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal
amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the
related Final Payment Date or the date on which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or Holders of the Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount have declared
the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section
5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to
the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall
notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business 5
Business Days preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the
final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment
Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such
Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices
in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as
provided in Section 10.02. In addition, the Administrator shall notify each
Rating Agency upon the final payment of interest and principal of each Class of
Notes, and upon the termination of the Trust, in each case pursuant to Section
1.02(a)(iii) of the Administration Agreement.

      (c)   If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the
Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to
the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The
Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days
prior to the next payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any
such special record date and related payment date, and, at least 15 days before
any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
defaulted interest to be paid.

      Section 2.08.     Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or 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, that such Issuer Order is timely
and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 2.09.     Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance,
will be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as agent for The
Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the
Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register
in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing


                                       14



Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a definitive Note representing such Note
Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and
until definitive, fully registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been
issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

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

            (ii)    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 the Notes
      and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder
      of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

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

            (iv)    the rights of 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. Pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement,
      unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the
      Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
      Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
      interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

            (v)     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, the Clearing Agency
      shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it
      has 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 has delivered such
      instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 2.10.     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 such Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.11, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

      Section 2.11.     Definitive Notes. If (i)(A) 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
Book-Entry Notes and (B) neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Administrator is
able 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, Owners of Book-Entry Notes
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing
Agency


                                       15



Participants through the Clearing Agency, in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests
of such Note Owners, then, in each case, the Indenture Trustee shall notify all
Note Owners of the related Class of Notes through the Clearing Agency of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the
related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Indenture Trustee of the 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
accordance 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 of a Class, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

      Section 2.12.     Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.01 and the
terms of the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property
from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent
Certificates in accordance with TIA ss.ss. 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or an Opinion of
Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does
not require any such Independent Certificates.

      Section 2.13.     Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for all
purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its
acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the
Notes for all purposes including federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

      Section 2.14.     Employee Benefit Plans. The transfer of a Definitive
Note shall not be registered unless the prospective transferee has represented
in writing to the Indenture Trustee that either (i) it is not a Benefit Plan and
is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (ii) its
acquisition and holding of the Definitive Note will be covered by a United
States Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption or some other
applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Any Person that acquires a
beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note with the assets of a Benefit Plan shall
be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of such beneficial
interest is covered by a United States Department of Labor prohibited
transaction class exemption or some other applicable statutory or administration
exemption.


                                       16



                                  ARTICLE THREE

                                    COVENANTS

      Section 3.01.     Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly
and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the
foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause to be distributed
all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Payment Date
deposited therein in accordance with Section 8.02(d). Amounts properly withheld
under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or
principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such
Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

      Section 3.02.     Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency
where Notes may be surrendered 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 will give
prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any
change in the location, of any such office or agency. 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, and the Issuer hereby
appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders,
notices and demands, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not serve as an
agent or office for the purpose of service of process on behalf of the Issuer.

      Section 3.03.     Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. As provided in
Sections 5.04 and 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to
any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account
and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.02(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 Collection Account and the Note Distribution
Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as
provided in this Section.

      On or before the Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date and
Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the
Collection Account (to be transferred to the Note Distribution Account on the
related Payment Date) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture
Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its action or
failure so to act.

      The Issuer will 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


                                       17



Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby
so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will:

      (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 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 at
the time of its appointment; 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.

      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.

      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 two years
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 repayment,
shall at the expense and written direction 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 will be repaid to or for the
account of the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the
expense and written direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of


                                       18



such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment
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 3.04.     Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a statutory 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, in
which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Owner Trust Estate, including all
licenses required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act and MD.
Fin. Inst. Code Ann., Title 11, Subtitle 4, as applicable, in connection with
this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby until such time as the Issuer shall terminate in accordance
with the terms hereof.

      Section 3.05.     Protection of Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer intends the
security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect
of the Owner Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to
obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest
in the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver
all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments,
all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and will take
such other action necessary or advisable to:

            (i)     Grant more effectively any portion of the Owner Trust
      Estate;

            (ii)    maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the
      priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more effectively
      the purposes hereof;

            (iii)   perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any
      Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

            (iv)    enforce any of the Collateral;

            (v)     preserve and defend title to the Owner Trust Estate and the
      rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Owner Trust
      Estate against the claims of all persons and parties; or

            (vi)    pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the
      Owner Trust Estate when due.

      Section 3.06.     Opinions as to Owner Trust Estate.


                                       19



      (a)   Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements
and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to
create and continue the Indenture Trustee's first priority perfected security
interest in the collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the
details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such
details are given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such
security interest.

      (b)   Within 90 days after the beginning of each fiscal year of the
Issuer beginning with the first fiscal year beginning more than three months
after the Cutoff Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, to the effect
that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements and
continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to
create and continue the Indenture Trustee's first priority perfected security
interest in the collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the
details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such
details are given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such
security interest.

      Section 3.07.     Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

      (a)   The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person
from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument
or agreement included in the Owner Trust Estate or that would result in the
amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair
the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents 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 identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of
the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the
Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

      (c)   The Issuer will and will cause the Administrator to, punctually
perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this
Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements
included in the Owner Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or
causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements
required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic
Documents in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and
therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not
waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any
provision thereof without the written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount or such greater
percentage as may be specified in the particular provision.

      (d)   If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer
Default, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice to a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee


                                       20



and to each Rating Agency thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action,
if any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicer Default
shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or
obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the
Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to
remedy such failure.

      (e)   As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination
to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 7.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by
a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event
that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at
the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer.
The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of
such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such
duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new
servicer enters into a servicing agreement as provided below. Upon delivery of
any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the
Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor
Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial
institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of motor vehicle receivables and (ii) enter into
a servicing agreement with the Issuer and the Seller having substantially the
same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable
to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to
above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture
Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the
Issuer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it
and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 7.02 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer and the Seller shall enter into an
agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such
agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If
the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's duties as servicer of the
Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and
not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of
Article Six shall be inapplicable (except as set forth in the proviso contained
in Section 6.01(a)) to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to
the Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee
shall become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its
Affiliates or agents, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and
omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

      (f)   Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is
appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment,
specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.


                                       21



      Section 3.08.     Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are
Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

            (i)     except as expressly permitted by Section 3.10(b) and the
      Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of
      the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the
      Owner Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

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

            (iii)   (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture
      to be impaired, or permit the lien created by this Indenture to be
      amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit
      any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect

            hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements

consequent thereto.

      (a)   The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the
whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of
interest shall be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at
the related Interest Rate 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)   In case 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 5.04, 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 law.

obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Owner 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 in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
or 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, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

            (i)     to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire 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
      Indenture 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 Indenture
      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 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 and, in the event that 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 action or Proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

      (g)   In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (including 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 Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

      Section 5.04.     Remedies, Priorities.

      (a)   If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Sections 5.02
and 5.05):


                                       31



            (i)     institute Proceedings in its own name and/or as trustee of
      an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the
      Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration
      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 Owner Trust
      Estate;

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

            (iv)    sell the Owner 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;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Owner Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an
Event of Default described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii), unless (A) the Holders of
100% of the Outstanding Amount consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and Certificateholders are
sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes
and Certificates for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Owner Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and Certificates
as would have become due if the Notes and Certificates had not been declared due
and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 100% of
the Outstanding Amount. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with
respect to clause (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not,
obtain, at the expense of the Issuer, 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 Owner Trust
Estate for such purpose.

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

            (i)     to the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Owner
      Trustee, any amounts due under the Trust Agreement or Section 6.07 hereof;

            (ii)    to the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of
      Nonrecoverable Advances under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

            (iii)   to the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of
      the Total Servicing Fee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


                                       32



            (iv)    to the Holders of the Notes of each Class, the Note Interest
      Distributable Amount ratably in proportion to the Note Interest
      Distributable Amount for each Class at their respective Interest Rates;

            (v)     to the Holders of Notes of all Classes, the outstanding
      principal amount of the Notes, pro rata in proportion to the Outstanding
      principal amount of each Class;

            (vi)    to the Holders of the Trust Certificates, the Certificate
      Interest Distributable Amount;

            (vii)   to the Holders of the Trust Certificates, the outstanding
      principal amount of the Trust Certificates; and

            (viii)  to the Seller, any remaining amount.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date,
the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that
states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

      Section 5.05.     Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession
of the Owner Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the
Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take
such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession
of the Owner Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the
Owner Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain, at the
expense of the Issuer, 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 Owner Trust Estate for such
purpose.

      Section 5.06.     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:

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

            (ii)    the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
      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;


                                       33



            (iii)   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;

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

            (v)     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.

It is 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 or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided.

      In the event 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, the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

      Section 5.07.     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, if any, 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, 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.

      Section 5.08.     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 and respectively to their 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 5.09.     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


                                       34



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 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 Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall 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 that:

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

            (ii)    subject to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the
      Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be by
      the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding
      Amount;

            (iii)   if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been
      satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Owner Trust
      Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture
      Trustee by the Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the
      Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be of
      no force and effect; and

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

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action for which it will
not be adequately indemnified or might materially adversely affect the rights of
any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

      Section 5.12.     Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may waive
any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (i)
in 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 Holders of the Notes shall respectively be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto.


                                       35



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.

      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 suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but
the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the
Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount or (iii) any suit 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 will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and 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
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will 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 Owner 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 5.04(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 shall take all such lawful action
as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
rights,


                                       36



remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner
directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of
default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution
of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure
performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.

      (b)   If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing) of the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller
or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance
or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, of each of their obligations to the
Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval,
extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the
Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

      Section 6.01.     Duties of Indenture Trustee.

      (a)   If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, 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; provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(e), the Indenture Trustee in
performing such duties shall use the degree of care and skill customarily
exercised by a prudent institutional servicer with respect to installment sale
contracts that it services for itself or others.

      (b)   Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge:

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

            (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 expressed therein, upon certificates or
      opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the
      requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall
      examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be
      furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to determine whether
      or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.


                                       37



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

            (i)     this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 6.01(b);

            (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)   Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

      (e)   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
Issuer.

      (f)   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 Sale and Servicing Agreement.

      (g)   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 repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

      (h)   Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the
TIA.

      (i)   The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
Event of Default unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge of such Event of Default or (ii) written notice of such Event of
Default shall have been received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

      (j)   The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any
recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to
herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a
security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing
or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof,
(B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Owner Trust
Estate, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates
of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture


                                       38



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

      Section 6.02.     Rights of Indenture Trustee.

      (a)   Except as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence, the
Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer's Certificate, Opinion of
Counsel, certificate of auditors, Independent Certificate or any other document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact, calculation or
matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture
Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they comply
as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.

      (b)   Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on an 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 attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the
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, that the Indenture Trustee's conduct does not
constitute willful 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 trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
provided, however, nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the
Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual
knowledge (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by


                                       39



this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs.

      (g)   The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture
Trustee shall not be answerable in the performance of such act for other than
its negligence or willful misconduct.

      (h)   The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the Owner Trust Estate created hereby or
the powers granted hereunder.

      (i)   All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Note
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, any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be
brought in its own name or in its capacity as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payments to the Indenture Trustee
provided for in Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

      Section 6.03.     Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. 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 or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

      Section 6.04.     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, the Owner Trust Estate 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 this 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. The Indenture
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to
record this Indenture.

      Section 6.05.     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 (including payments pursuant to the mandatory
redemption provisions of such 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 6.06.     Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such information as may be
required to enable each Noteholder to prepare its respective federal and state
income tax returns. The Indenture


                                       40



Trustee will make documents or information which it is required to provide
available to the Noteholders, including, without limitation, the Servicer's
Certificate (as such term is defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement), and
the Indenture Trustee will post at www.uboc.com information regarding principal
and interest due and paid on the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall have the
right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the
Indenture Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above
parties regarding any such changes; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee will also mail copies of any such statements to any Noteholders who so
request in writing.

      Section 6.07.     Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services, which compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust, (ii)
reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred or made by it, including without limitation, costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services, which expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts and (iii) indemnify
the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against
any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder not resulting from its own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the
Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its
obligations hereunder. The indemnities contained in this Section 6.07 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination
of this Indenture. Absent an Event of Default, in the event of any claim, action
or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section 6.07,
the Indenture Trustee's choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval
of the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer an owner, the designee of the
Depositor), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
delayed or denied. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee (1) through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith or (2) in the case of the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 expressly made by the
Indenture Trustee.

      The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or
discharge of the Indenture Trustee and shall extend to any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.10 hereunder. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 5.01 (iv) or (v) 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.


                                       41



      Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event
shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits, other than interest due but not paid on the Notes), even if the
Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.

      Section 6.08.     Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or
removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section. The Indenture Trustee may
resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. Noteholders representing a
majority of the Outstanding Amount may remove the Indenture Trustee at any time
and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee
in writing. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

            (ii)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of
      the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal
      or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or
      any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
      similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or
      appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
      conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee
      or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property, or
      ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee's affairs,
      provided any such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in
      effect for a period of 30 consecutive days;

            (iii)   the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any
      federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
      constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
      insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or
      taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
      conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the Indenture
      Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property,
      or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to
      pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in
      furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

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

      If the Indenture Trustee resigns 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 a successor Indenture Trustee.

      A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment 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 the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee


                                       42



shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the
successor Indenture Trustee.

      If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee.

      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.

      Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all fees and expenses owed to
the outgoing Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's
obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Indenture Trustee.

      Section 6.09.     Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates or merges with, converts or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation shall, without
any further act, be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such
corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency prior
written notice of any such transaction.

      In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion 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; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or in this
Indenture that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

      Section 6.10.     Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

      (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee and the Administrator, acting jointly, 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, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the


                                       43



Noteholders, such title to the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after its receipt of a request to do so, the Indenture Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.08.

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

            (i)     all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
      imposed upon 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 Owner 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 and the Administrator 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 Agreement and
the conditions of this Article. 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 and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

      (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 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


                                       44



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 the time
deposits of the Indenture Trustee shall be rated at least P-1 by Moody's and F1
by Fitch. 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.

      In the event that, (A) the Indenture Trustee (i) or any of its directors
or executive officers is an underwriter, or (ii) directly or indirectly,
controls or is controlled by, or is in common control with, an underwriter; and
(B) an Event of Default occurs, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA ss.
310(b). For this purpose only and pursuant to TIA ss. 310(b), an "underwriter"
means any person who, within one year prior to the occurrence of the Event of
Default, was an underwriter of any of the notes outstanding at the time of such
Event of Default.

      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). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 31l(a) to the extent indicated.

      Section 6.13.     Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties on
which the Issuer and Noteholders shall rely:

            (i)     it is a banking association duly organized, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America;

            (ii)    it has full power, authority and legal right to execute,
      deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all necessary
      action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this
      Indenture;

            (iii)   assuming the necessary authorization, execution and
      delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the duties and obligations
      of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture constitute the valid, legal
      and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee enforceable in accordance
      with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization or similar laws or equitable principles
      limiting creditors' rights generally, and provided that no representation
      is expressed as to the availability of equitable remedies;

            (iv)    that to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, the
      Indenture Trustee is not in breach of or default under any law or
      administrative rule or regulation of the United States of America or any
      department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof,


                                       45



      or any applicable court or administrative decree or order, and which would
      materially impair the ability of the Indenture Trustee to perform its
      obligations under the Indenture; and

            (v)     that to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, no
      authorization, consent or other order of any state or federal government
      authority or agency having jurisdiction over the trust powers of the
      Indenture Trustee are required to be obtained by the Indenture Trustee for
      the valid authorization, execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee
      of the Indenture or the authentication of the Notes.

Owner Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution

Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article Five.

      (a)   Pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, there

      after the Notes have been accelerated as provided in Section 5.02(a)
      following the occurrence of an Event of Default, until such time as the

      shall be paid first to the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes are
      paid in full and then to the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes on a
      pro rata basis based on the Outstanding Amount of each such Class of
      Notes; and

            (iv)    in the event that there are insufficient funds in the Note
      Distribution Account, an amount will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund
      pursuant to Section 4.07(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Article VI, make the distributions on
the Notes in a manner consistent with the Servicer's Certificate and will, upon
the request of the Issuer, confirm to the Issuer that it has made such payments
in accordance with the Servicer's Certificate.

      Section 8.03.     General Provisions Regarding Accounts.

      (a)   So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Accounts shall be invested
in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon the written
direction of the Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 4.01(b) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01 (b)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, all income or other gain from investments
of monies deposited in the Accounts shall be paid to the Servicer, and any loss
resulting from such investments shall be charged to the related Account.

      (b)   Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any
way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Accounts
resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for
losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such
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 Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions
for any funds on deposit in the Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 2:00 P.M.,
New York Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) to the knowledge of a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee 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 5.02 or (iii) if such
Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default but
amounts collected or receivable from the Owner Trust Estate are being applied in
accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then
the Indenture Trustee upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such
event shall, in the case of clause (i) above, maintain such funds in cash or, in
the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) above, to the fullest extent practicable,
invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts in the Eligible Investment listed in
clause (vii) of the definition thereof.

      Section 8.04.     Release of Owner Trust Estate.


                                       49



      (a)   Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section
6.07, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this
Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this
Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner
and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee
as provided in this Article 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.

      (b)   The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have
been paid, release any remaining portion of the Owner Trust Estate that secured
the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other
Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Accounts. The Indenture
Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this
Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an
Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA)
Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA ss.ss. 314(c) and 314(d)(1)
meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01. Such release shall be
deemed to have been made upon completion of the requirements set forth in the
foregoing sentence.

      Section 8.05.     Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive
at least seven days written notice when requested by the Issuer to take any
action pursuant to Section 8.04(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, 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
will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the
rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture;
provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express
an opinion as to the fair value of the Owner 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.

                                       50



      Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of
      this Indenture, or to subject additional property to the lien of this
      Indenture;

            (ii)    to evidence the succession, in compliance with the
      applicable provisions hereof, of another Person to the Issuer, and the
      assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and
      in the Notes contained;

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

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

            (v)     to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any

      matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
      indenture; provided, that such action shall not adversely affect the
      interests of the Holders of the Notes;

            (vi)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
      appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and
      to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
      necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
      than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article Six; or

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

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

      (b)   The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with
prior notice to each Rating Agency, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder.

      Section 9.02.     Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may,
with prior notice to each Rating Agency and with the written consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, by Act of such
Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture


                                       51



      Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the
      purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
      eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in
      any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture;
      provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
      written consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

            (i)     change the date of payment of any installment of principal
      of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the
      Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change
      the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of
      collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Owner Trust Estate to
      payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of
      payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest
      thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
      enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application
      of funds available therefor, as provided in Article Five, to the payment
      of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates
      thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

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

            (iii)   modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
      definition of the term "Outstanding";

            (iv)    reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount required to
      direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the
      Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 or amend the provisions of
      this Article which specify the percentage of the Outstanding Amount
      required to amend this Indenture or the other Basic Documents;

            (v)     modify any provision of this Section except to increase any
      percentage specified herein or provide that certain additional provisions
      of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived
      without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected
      thereby;

            (vi)    modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such
      manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of
      interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the
      calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or
      affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions
      for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; 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
      Owner Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated

                                       52



      property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of
      the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

      The Administrator shall certify to the Indenture Trustee whether or not
any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
certification shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

      Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall
mail to the Holders of the Notes 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 9.03.     Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by
this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject
to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, 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 supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

      Section 9.04.     Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and shall 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 Holders of the Notes
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 9.05.     Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long
as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

      Section 9.06.     Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article 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


                                       53



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.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                               REDEMPTION OF NOTES

      Section 10.01.    Redemption. The Outstanding Notes are subject to
redemption in whole, but not in part, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer exercises its
option to purchase the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to said Section, for a
purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided that the Issuer has
available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. The Servicer or the
Issuer shall furnish each Rating Agency notice of such redemption. If the
outstanding Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Servicer or
the Issuer shall furnish written notice of such election to the Indenture
Trustee not later than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall
deposit by 8:00 A.M., Los Angeles time, on the Redemption Date with the
Indenture Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the Redemption Price of the
Notes to be redeemed, whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on the
Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.02 to
each Holder of the Notes.

      Section 10.02.    Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under
Section 10.01 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, or by facsimile mailed or transmitted not later than ten days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such
Holder's address or facsimile number appearing in the Note Register.

      All notices of redemption shall include the following information:

            (i)     the Redemption Date;

            (ii)    the Redemption Price;

            (iii)   the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment
      of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer
      to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and

            (iv)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will
      become due and payable upon each Note and that interest thereon shall
      cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date.


                                       54



Notice of redemption of the 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 Note shall not impair or affect the
validity of the redemption of any other Note.

      Section 10.03.    Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by
Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption
Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the
date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 11.01.    Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

      (a)   Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall 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

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 opinion of each such signatory,

      (b)   (i)     Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property
or securities with the Indenture Trustee 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 Section 11.01 (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 (i) above, the Issuer

      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 any release described in clause
      (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), 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
      signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (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 property described in
      clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01 (b)(v)) 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 (iii) above and this clause
      (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount, 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.

      extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash
      payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by
      the Basic Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture
      Trustee every six months,


                                       56



      commencing December 15, 2007 an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer
      stating that all the dispositions of Collateral described in clauses (A)
      and (B) above that occurred during the preceding six calendar months or
      shorter period in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate were in
      the ordinary course of the Issuer's business and that the proceeds thereof
      were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

      Section 11.02.    Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

      Any certificate or opinion of 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 the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any such certificate of 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.

      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.

      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 Six.

      Section 11.03.    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 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


                                       57



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 6.01)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.

      (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 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 11.04.    Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or
furnished to or filed with:

            (i)     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 and mailed first-class, postage prepaid, overnight
      delivery service or facsimile (followed by original) to or with the
      Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

            (ii)    the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder
      shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed
      first-class, postage prepaid, overnight delivery service or facsimile
      (followed by original) to the Issuer addressed to: Honda Auto Receivables
      2007-2 Owner Trust, in care of The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street,
      Floor 8 West, New York, New York 10286, or at any other address previously
      furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
      Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by
      it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

      Notices required to be given to each Rating Agency by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered, couriered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
overnight delivery service to (i) Moody's Investors Service, Inc., ABS
Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007; and (ii) in
the case of Fitch, at the following address: One State Street Plaza, New York,
New York 10004, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or at such
other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.


                                       58



      Section 11.05.    Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Holder'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. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

      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.

      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 to 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.

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

      Section 11.06.    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 will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of
each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and
notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

      Section 11.07.    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

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


                                       59



      Section 11.08.    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article
and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

      Section 11.09.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

      Section 11.10.    Separability. 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 of this Indenture and the Notes
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 the Noteholders, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Owner Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

      Section 11.12.    Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Note's 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.


                                       60



      Section 11.16.    Trust Obligation. 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 this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or

individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) 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 installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust
Agreement as if specifically set forth herein.

      Section 11.17.    No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in
any institution against the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic
Documents.

      Section 11.18.    Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be 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. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit (i) the disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes
publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources
other than the Servicer or the Issuer, (ii) the disclosure of any and all
information (A) if required to do so by any applicable law, rule or regulation,
(B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to
regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee's business or that of

                                       61



Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Indenture Trustee
advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being
disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Servicer or the
Issuer.

      Section 11.19.    [Reserved]

      Section 11.20.    Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
herein to the contrary, all persons (and their respective employees,
representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction
described herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to the recipient relating to such tax treatment and
tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or
tax structure shall be required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary
to comply with any applicable securities laws.

      Section 11.21.    Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

      The Indenture Trustee and Issuer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of
Section 3.09 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the
Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations
of the Commission.

      Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator (acting on behalf of the Issuer)
shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance
under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than
compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
(a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a
manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation AB, (b) the parties'
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance from the
Securities and Exchange Commission, convention or consensus among active
participants in the asset-backed securities markets, or otherwise in respect of
the requirements of Regulation AB as they may be applied by the Securities and
Exchange Commission to the Issuer in connection with the Notes and (c) the
parties shall comply with reasonable requests made by or on behalf of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee for delivery of additional or different information, to
the extent such information is available, as the person requesting such
information may determine in good faith is necessary for it to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB. Any and all expenses incurred by the Indenture
Trustee in compliance with this Section shall be considered indemnities payable
in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof.

      The Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall
cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for
information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to
information required, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer to comply with
Regulation AB.

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its ___% Asset Backed Notes, Class [A- 1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] (the
"Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes"), all issued 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 Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

      The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the
Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably
secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the

foregoing, under certain circumstances, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes shall be due and payable following the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, as described in the
Indenture. All principal payments on the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes
shall be made pro rata to the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Noteholders entitled
thereto.

      Payments of principal and interest on this Note due and payable on each
Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person
whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the
related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Depository (initially, such nominee to be
Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to
the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the
Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note
be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of
this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by any payments made
on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding 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 noted hereon. If funds are
expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of
the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date or
Redemption Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer, will notify the Person who was the registered Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Payment Date or Redemption Date by notice mailed
within five days of such Payment Date or Redemption Date and the amount then due
and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of the
Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New
York.

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations set forth
therein and on the face hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered on
the Note Register upon surrender of


                                       A-5



this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the
Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution"
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include
membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program
("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by
the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in
accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon
one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of
this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
such registration of transfer or exchange.

      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 its
individual capacity, (ii) any 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 its individual capacity, 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 its individual capacity, 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
installment 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 by accepting
the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.

      Any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in this Note with the
assets of a Benefit Plan shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and
holding of such beneficial interest is covered by a United States Department of
Labor prohibited transaction class exemption or some other applicable statutory
or administrative exemption.

      The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the
intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Owner Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note
Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the


                                       A-6



Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

      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 be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or 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 Holders of the Notes 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 Notes at the time Outstanding. 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 or 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 Holders of the
Notes issued thereunder.

      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.
