Principal Balance [and the Class B Initial Principal Balance], the Depositor
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the
Conveyed Property.
It is the intention of the Depositor and the Trustee that the
assignment and conveyance by the Depositor of the Conveyed Property and the
related issuance of the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute
a purchase by the Trust of the Conveyed Property [(other than the Reserve
Account, the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account)], and
that the Conveyed Property not be part of the Depositor's estate in the event of
the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Depositor. In the event that the Conveyed
Property is held to be property of the Depositor's bankruptcy estate, or if for
any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the
Conveyed Property, then (x) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the States of _____________ and (y) the
conveyance provided for in this section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of (A) a valid first priority perfected security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the
Conveyed Property, except for the Equipment not owned by the Depositor, and (B)
a valid assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of its security interest in
the Equipment not owned by the Depositor. If the Trust terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.02. ACCEPTANCE BY THE TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee
acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of the Conveyed Property pursuant
to this Agreement to be held in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders [Securityholders], and has caused to be authenticated

Conveyed Property, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee in authorized
denominations evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Estate.
(b) The Depositor hereby (x) appoints the Trustee as the
Depositor's attorney-in-fact with all power to independently enforce against the
Originator, the Transferor and the Servicer, as appropriate, any of its rights

such rights.

documents or instruments, if any, which

in accordance with its customary practices, for the benefit of the Depositor [,
the Certificateholders] and the Certificateholders, as their respective
interests may appear.
Section 2.04. LIABILITIES OF THE TRUST AND PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT; LIMITATIONS THEREON. (a) The obligations evidenced by the
Certificates provide recourse only to the Trust Estate and provide no recourse
against the Depositor, the Originator, the Servicer, the Trustee, or any other
Person. In consideration of the sale of the Certificates by the Depositor to the
initial Certificateholders for aggregate proceeds equal to the Initial
Certificate Principal Balance, the Depositor hereby instructs the Trustee to,
and the Trustee hereby agrees to, cause the Trust to pay to the
Certificateholders an amount of principal and interest, in each case at the
times, from the sources and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) The Depositor, the Originator, the Transferor and the
Servicer shall not be liable to the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders
except as expressly provided herein and, with respect to the Originator and the
Servicer, as provided in the Contribution and Servicing Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Obligor fails to pay any
Scheduled Payment or other amounts due under a Contract, then neither the
Trustee, the Trust nor the Certificateholders will have any recourse against the
Depositor, the Originator, the Transferor or the Servicer for such Scheduled
Payment, other amounts due under the Contract or any losses, damages, claims,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Trust or any
Certificateholder as a direct or indirect result thereof, except as may be
expressly provided for herein and, with respect to the Originator and the
Servicer, as provided in the Contribution and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Trustee agrees that in the event of a Contract Default
by an Obligor, the Trustee, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall be
expressly limited to the sources of payment specified herein. In addition, the

to the Transferor, then to the Depositor and finally to the Trustee) under the
Contract, the Insurance Policies and any document in any Contract File in the
name of the Trustee, the Trust and the Certificateholders, either directly or
through the Servicer as agent, and the Trustee is hereby directed by the
Depositor to exercise such rights.
(d) The receipt of the Conveyed Property by the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in
an assumption by the Trustee, the Trust or any Certificateholder of any
obligation (except for the obligation not to disturb an Obligor's right of quiet
enjoyment) of the Originator or the Servicer to any Obligor, or other Person in
connection with the Equipment, the Contract, the Insurance Policies or any
document in the Contract Files.
Section 2.05. TITLE TO TRUST ESTATE. Legal title to all of the
Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal
entity except where applicable in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of
the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee, in which case title shall be deemed
to be vested in the Trustee.

transfer shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Trustee, for its own
account, shall acquire any of the Certificates, such acquisition shall not
operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such
Certificates. All cancelled Certificates may be held or disposed of by the
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in
effect at the time.
Section 4.07. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The Person in whose name

principal of and interest on such Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants; and
(v) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates
evidencing a specified percentage of the Percentage Interest in the
Trust, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage
only to the extent that it has (i) received instructions to such effect
from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or
representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial

to the Trustee.

shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
such Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to
the related Certificate Owners.
Section 4.10. DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES. If, with respect to
Book Entry Certificates, (i) the Trustee is notified in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to such Certificates, and the Trustee is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Trustee, at is option, 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], Certificate Owners
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a Majority of Holders
advise 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
Certificate Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all such Certificate
Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of definitive fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to
the Trustee of the typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book
Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate the Definitive
Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither
the Certificate Registrar nor the 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
Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders.
Section 4.11. TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES. Pending the
preparation of Definitive Certificates to be issued in exchange for Book Entry
Certificates, the Trustee may execute and authenticate and deliver, temporary
Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
-22-
mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates
in lieu of which they are issued with such variations not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement as the Corporate Trust Officers executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates.
If temporary Certificates are so issued, the Trustee will
cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange

The Trustee or the Majority of Holders shall each have the power from time to
time to appoint one or more persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees

or advisable under any applicable laws or for the purpose of otherwise
conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any applicable
jurisdiction. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed
shall be trustees, co-trustees, or custodians for the benefit of all
Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of
the Trustee. The Trustee shall join in any such appointment, but such joining
shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of such appointment.
Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys
shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations

of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
Servicer) the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform

such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or
custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee or the Majority of Holders may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or
custodian so appointed by it or them if such resignation or removal
does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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, co-trustee, or custodian 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 Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be furnished
to the Trustee.
Any separate trustee, co-trustees, or custodian may, at any
time, constitute the 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 Agreement on its behalf and in its name, provided that the
Trustee shall continue to be responsible for its duties and obligations under
the Trust Agreement. If any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian 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
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee or custodian.
No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall
be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 6.06 hereof and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment thereof
shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.
The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the
extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.

funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer [or the Company or
other Depositor], on any Payment Date which occurs in the month next following a
Collection Period in which the Aggregate Discounted Contract Balance is 10% or

long as the Servicer [or the Company or other Depositor] deposits or causes to
be deposited in the Certificate Account during the Collection Period related to

Contract (a "Repurchase Option Payment").
Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date upon
which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee (upon direction
by the Servicer 10 days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by letter

during the applicable Collection Period an amount equal to the above-described

Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such purchase price but not

successor servicer, and the Servicer, or its successor servicer, shall cause to
be distributed to Certificateholders an amount equal to (a) the amount otherwise
distributable on such Payment Date, if not in connection with the Servicer's
optional repurchase; or (b) if the Servicer elected to so purchase, an amount
equal to the then outstanding principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the
Certificates.
If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall appoint an agent to take
appropriate and reasonable steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets which remain in the Trust Estate hereunder.
(b) Upon deposit into the Certificate Account of the Warranty
Repurchase Amount by the Servicer under Section [_______], the Trustee shall be
deemed without any further action to have assigned to the Servicer, each
Contract that remains in default immediately prior to such termination, without

Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the
Trust. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any
Certificateholder, other than the Depositor as described in Section [_____],
shall not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (ii) entitle
such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting
or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up
of all or any part of the Trust or Trust Estate nor (iii) otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.
Section 7.02 DISSOLUTION UPON BANKRUPTCY OF THE DEPOSITOR. In
the event that any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding or other
-38-
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, under any federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law (each, an "Insolvency Event") shall occur with respect to the
Depositor, this Agreement shall be terminated 60 days after the date of such
Insolvency Event, unless, before the end of such 60-day period the Trustee shall
have received written instructions from each of the Certificateholders (other

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the

Majority of Holders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Class A Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of

consent is made upon this Class A Certificate. The Agreement also permits the

Depositor, Originator, the Servicer, any successor Servicer and the Trustee that
either (1) the Prospective Owner is not acquiring the Certificate with the

cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement
and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
payments to Certificateholders as set forth in the Agreement) shall terminate
[367] days after the earliest of (i) the repurchase by the Servicer, at its
option, subject to the restriction set forth below as to the size of the
Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, of all Contracts and all other Conveyed
Property acquired in respect of any Contract remaining in the Trust at the price
specified in the Agreement, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all

succeeding the Collection Period during which the last Contract not repurchased
by the Servicer shall have been liquidated and any Liquidation Proceeds shall
have been deposited in the applicable account (but not later than [180] days
after the completion of all collection efforts following the declaration of a
Contract as a Defaulted Contract) and (iv) the Payment Date on which the
proceeds of a liquidation pursuant to Section [____] of the Agreement are
distributed. The exercise of the right of the Servicer to purchase all the
Contracts and Equipment and cause distribution to the Transferor of all other
property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates, but such
right of purchase is exercisable only as of a Payment Date subsequent to any
[Determination] Date as of which the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance is
less than 10 percent (10.00%) of the Initial Aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance. After such date, interest on the Certificates shall cease to accrue.
