to the relevant Interest Accrual Period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as
of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on

are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to the
relevant Interest Accrual Period. The Trustee shall request the principal
London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.
If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR
Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded
upward to the nearest 0.015625%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic
mean (rounded upward to the nearest 0.015625%) of the rates quoted by major

New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading
European banks for a period equal to the relevant Interest Accrual Period;

determined on the most recent LIBOR Determination Date.

Certificate Rate and the Class D Certificate Rate applicable to the then current
and the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Periods may be obtained by any

Trustee (it being understood that, until notice to the contrary is given to
Certificateholders, the Transferor and the Trustee shall each be deemed to have
approved the form of instrument of transfer, if any, printed on any definitive
Certificate), executed by the registered owner, in person or by such
Certificateholder's attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such
Certificate shall be transferred upon the register, and the Transferor shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee one or more new registered Certificates of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. Transfers and
exchanges of Certificates shall be subject to such restrictions as shall be set

reasonable regulations as may be prescribed by the Transferor. Successive
registrations and registrations of transfers as aforesaid may be made from time
to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register.
(d) No Series 1998-A Certificate or any interest therein may be Transferred
(including in the initial offering) to (a) an "employee benefit plan" (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), including governmental plans and church
plans, (b) any "plan" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) including
individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (c) any other entity whose
underlying assets include "plan assets" (within the meaning of Department of
Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. (S) 2510.3-101 or
otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's investment in the entity,
including, without limitation, an insurance company general account; provided,
however, that a Series 1998-A Certificate or an interest therein may be
Transferred to an insurance company acting on behalf of its general account if
(i) on the date such insurance company acquires the Certificates, less than 25%
of the assets of such general account (as reasonably determined by such
insurance company) constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code, and (ii) such insurance company agrees that if, after
the initial acquisition of the Certificates, at any time during any calendar
quarter 25% or more of the assets of such general account (as reasonably
determined by such
-48-
insurance company no less frequently than each calendar quarter) constitute
"plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
no exemption or exception from the prohibited transaction rules applies to the
continued holding of the Certificates under Section 401(c) of ERISA and the
final regulations thereunder or under an exemption or regulation issued by the
DOL under ERISA, then such insurance company will dispose of all of the
Certificates then held in its general account by the end of the next following
calendar quarter; and provided, further, that the Assignee shall have executed
and delivered the certification referred to in subsection 10(c) above and each
of the Transferor and the Servicer shall have granted its prior written consent
thereto.
(e) Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. shall be prohibited from
transferring any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates unless,
prior to such transfer, it shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such proposed transfer will not adversely affect the
Federal or Minnesota income tax characterization of any outstanding Series of
Investor Certificates or the taxability (or tax characterization) of the Trust
under Federal or Minnesota income tax laws. In no event shall the Transferor be
permitted to transfer any interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates if,
after giving effect to such proposed transfer, taking into account the
certificates whose transfer is proposed, more than 20% (by Invested Amount and
by value) of the outstanding certificates issued by the Trust with respect to
which no Opinion of Counsel was issued that the applicable class would be
treated as debt for federal income tax purposes (including the Exchangeable
Transferor Certificate and each Transferor Retained Class) would not be
beneficially owned by Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp. In no event shall any
interest in or portion of the Class D Certificates be transferred to Green Tree.
As a condition to transfer of an interest in or portion of the Class D
Certificates, the transferee shall be required to agree not to institute
against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Trust, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding,
or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for
one year and one day after all Investor Certificates are paid in full. The
Transferor shall provide prompt written notice to the Rating Agencies of any
such transfer.
(f) The Transferor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder
each agrees that it will not make the election provided in Treasury Regulation
(S) 301.7701-3(c) to have the Trust classified as an association taxable as a
corporation.
SECTION 11. Additional Restrictions on Transfers of Class C and Class D
Certificates; Withholding Requirements; Tax Treatment.
(a) No Class C or Class D Certificate or any interest therein may be sold
(including in the initial offering), conveyed, assigned, hypothecated, pledged,
participated, or otherwise transferred (each, a "Transfer") except in accordance
with this Section 11. Any Transfer of a Class C or Class D Certificate
otherwise permitted by this Section 11 will be permitted only if it consists of
a pro rata percentage interest
-49-
in all payments made with respect to such Holder's Certificate and no Transfers
of partial interests in a Class C or Class D Certificate shall be permitted. No
Class C or Class D Certificate or any interest therein may be Transferred to any
Person (each, an "Assignee"), unless the Assignee shall have executed and
delivered the certification referred to in subsection 10(c) above and each of
the Transferor and the Servicer shall have granted its prior consent thereto.
Such consent shall be granted (assuming that all other conditions specified in
this Section 11 to such Transfer are satisfied) unless the Transferor determines
in its sole and absolute discretion that such Transfer would create a risk that
the Trust would be classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes
as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation;
provided, further, that any attempted Transfer that would cause the number of
Targeted Holders to exceed 99 shall be void; and provided, further, that there
shall not at any time be more than 5 Class C and 5 Class D Certificateholders in
the aggregate or such other number as may be consented to by the Transferor,
which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Each initial purchaser of a Class C or Class D Certificate or any
interest therein and any Assignee thereof shall certify to the Transferor, the
Servicer, and the Trustee that it is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the
U.S., (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the
laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof which, if such entity is a
tax-exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Class C or Class
D Certificates may constitute unrelated business taxable income or (iii) a
person not described in (i) or (ii) whose ownership of the Class C or Class D
Certificates is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States within the meaning of the Code) and whose ownership of
any interest in a Class C or Class D Certificate will not result in any
withholding obligation with respect to any payments with respect to the Class C
or Class D Certificates by any person or (B) an estate or trust the income of
which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each
initial purchaser of a Class C or Class D Certificate also shall agree that (A)
if it is a person described in clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, it will furnish
to the person from whom it is acquiring a Class C or Class D Certificate, the
Servicer and the Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9 (and will agree to furnish a new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form,
upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) or (b) if
it is a person described in clause (A)(iii) above, it will furnish to the person
from whom it is acquiring a Class C or Class D Certificate, the Servicer and the
Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 (and will
agree to furnish a new Form 4224, or any successor applicable form, upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable
statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws), and, in each case, such
other certifications, representations or opinions of counsel as may be requested
by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee.
(c) Each initial purchaser of a Class C or Class D Certificate or any
interest therein and any Assignee thereof shall further certify to the
Transferor, the Servicer
-50-
and the Trustee that it has neither acquired nor will it sell, trade or transfer
any interest in a Class C or Class D Certificate or cause an interest in a Class
C or Class D Certificate to be marketed on or through an "established securities
market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any treasury
regulation thereunder, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market
or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell
quotations. In addition, each initial purchaser of a Class C or Class D
Certificate or any interest therein and any Assignee shall certify, prior to any
delivery or Transfer to it of a Class C or Class D Certificate that it is not
and will not become (unless otherwise consented to by the Transferor in its sole
discretion), for so long as it holds an interest in a Class C or Class D
Certificate, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. If an initial purchaser of an interest in a Class C
or Class D Certificate or an Assignee cannot make the certification described in
the preceding sentence, the Transferor may, in its sole discretion, prohibit a
Transfer to such entity; provided, however, that if the Transferor agrees to
permit such a Transfer, the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trustee may require
additional certifications in order to prevent the Trust from being treated as a
publicly traded partnership. Each initial purchaser of an interest in a Class C
or Class D Certificate and Assignee acknowledges that the Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the Trust will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the
certifications described in this subsection 11(c).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Trustee and
any Paying Agent shall comply with all Federal withholding requirements with
respect to payments to the Class C or Class D Certificateholders of interest,
original issue discount, or other amounts that the Trustee, any Paying Agent,
the Servicer or the Transferor reasonably believes are applicable under the
Code. The consent of the Class C or Class D Certificateholders shall not be
required for any such withholding. In the event the Trustee or the Paying Agent
withholds any amount from payments made to any Class C or Class D
Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee or
the Paying Agent shall indicate to such Class C or Class D Certificateholder the
amount withheld and all such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid to such
Class C or Class D Certificateholders and the Class C or Class D
Certificateholders shall have no claim therefor.
(e) As described in Section 3.7 of the Agreement, it is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates be treated for tax purposes as
indebtedness. In the event that the Class C Certificates are not so treated, it
is the intention of the parties that the Class C Certificates to treated as an
interest in a partnership that owns the Receivables. In the event that the
Class C Certificates are treated as an interest in a partnership, it is the
intention of the parties that interest payable on the Class C Certificates be
treated as guaranteed payment and, if for any reason it is not so treated, that
the holders of the Class C Certificates be specially allocated gross interest
income equal to the interest accrued during each Interest Accrual Period on the
Class C Certificates.

GREEN TREE FLOORPLAN RECEIVABLES MASTER TRUST
VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATE, SERIES 1998-A, CLASS A
Evidencing an undivided interest in a trust, the corpus of which consists
of receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary course of business
from the portfolio of revolving financing arrangements (the "Accounts") of Green
Tree Financial Corporation ("Green Tree" or the "Servicer") and other assets and
interests constituting the Trust under the Agreement described below.
This certificate (a "Certificate") does not represent an interest in, or
obligation of, Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp., Green Tree or any affiliate
of either of them.
This certifies that Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York (the
"Certificateholder") is the registered owner of a fractional undivided interest
in the Green Tree Floorplan Receivables Master Trust (the "Trust") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1995
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"; such term to include any amendment
thereto) among Green Tree Floorplan Funding Corp., as Transferor (the
"Transferor"), Green Tree, as Servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), and the Series 1998-A Supplement, dated
as of August 1, 1998 (the "Series 1998-A Supplement"), among the Transferor,
Green Tree as Servicer and the
A-2
Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as supplemented by the Series
1998-A Supplement, is herein referred to as the "Agreement"). The corpus of the
Trust consists of all of the Transferor's right, title and interest in, to and
under the Trust Property (as defined in the Agreement).
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to that Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreement. This Certificate is one of a class of Certificates entitled "Green
Tree Floorplan Receivables Master Trust Variable Funding Certificates, Series
1998-A, Class A" (the "Class A Certificates"), each of which represents a
fractional undivided interest in the Trust, and is issued under and is subject
to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as
amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement and the Class A Certificates
with the intention that the Class A Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness, and both the Transferor and each holder of a Class A
Certificate (a "Class A Certificateholder") or any interest therein by
acceptance of its Certificate or any interest therein, agrees to treat the Class
A Certificates for purposes of federal, state and local income or franchise
taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, no principal will be payable to the
Class A Certificateholders until the second Distribution Date following the
Amortization Period Commencement Date. No principal will be payable to the
Class B Certificateholders, Class C Certificateholders or Class D
Certificateholders until all principal payments have been made to the Class A
Certificateholders.
Each Class A Certificate represents the right to receive the lesser of
(i) interest at the rate of .09% per annum above LIBOR determined on September
10, 1998 for the period from September 14, 1998 up to but excluding October 13,
1998, and at a rate equal to .09% per annum above LIBOR determined on the
related LIBOR Determination Date for each Interest Accrual Period thereafter or
(ii) the applicable Net Receivables Rate (such rate, as in effect from time to
time, the "Class A Certificate Rate"). Interest on the Class A Certificates
will accrue from the Series 1998-A Issuance Date and will be distributed on
September 14, 1998, and on the 13th day of each month thereafter, or if such day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a
"Distribution Date"), in an amount equal to the product of (a) the actual number
of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360, (b) the Class A
Certificate Rate and (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Class A
Certificates at the close of Business on the first day of such
A-3
Interest Accrual Period (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the
Class A Initial Invested Amount).
On the earlier of (i) the second Distribution Date following the
Amortization Period Commencement Date or (ii) the first Distribution Date
following the occurrence of a Pay Out Event, interest and principal will be
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders monthly on each Distribution Date
prior to the Series 1998-A Termination Date. Interest for any Distribution Date
will include accrued interest at the Class A Certificate Rate from and including
the preceding Distribution Date or, in the case of the first Distribution Date,
from and including the Series 1998-A Issuance Date, to but excluding such
Distribution Date. Interest for any Distribution Date due but not paid on any
Distribution Date will be due on the next succeeding Distribution Date together
with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, additional interest on such
amount at the Class A Certificate Rate.
"Class A Invested Amount" means an amount equal to (a) the Class A Initial
Invested Amount minus (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments made to
Class A Certificateholders prior to such date, minus (c) the aggregate amount of
Class A Investor Charge-Offs for all prior Determination Dates, and plus (d) the
aggregate amount allocated and available on all prior Business Days pursuant to
subsection 4.9(a)(vi) (including amounts applied pursuant to such subsection but
funded pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and (b) and Section 4.14(a), (b) and (c)) for
the purpose of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clause
(c).
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are limited to the unpaid
Class A Invested Amount of the Class A Certificates, which may be less than the
unpaid balance of the Class A Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement. All principal of and interest on the Class A Certificates is due and
payable no later than the Distribution Date in March 2001 (the "Series 1998-A
Termination Date"). After the Series 1998-A Termination Date neither the Trust
nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute principal or
interest on the Class A Certificates. In the event that the Class A Invested
Amount is greater than zero on the Series 1998-A Termination Date, the Trustee
will sell or cause to be sold, to the extent necessary, an amount of interests
in the Receivables or certain of the Receivables up to 110% of the Class A
Invested Amount, the Class B Invested Amount, the Class C Invested Amount and
the Class D Invested Amount at the close of business on such date (but not more
than the total amount of Receivables allocable to the Investor Certificates),
and shall pay the proceeds to the Class A Certificateholders pro rata in final
payment of the Class A Certificates, then to the Class B Certificateholders pro
rata in final payment of the Class B Certificates, then to the Class C
Certificateholders pro rata in final payment of the Class C Certificates and
finally to the Class D Certificateholders pro rata in final payment of the Class
D Certificates.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

title and interest in, to and under the Trust Property (as defined in the
Agreement).
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to that Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreement. This Certificate is one of a class of Certificates entitled "Green

to which Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound.
The Transferor has structured the Agreement and the Class B Certificates
with the intention that the Class B Certificates will qualify under applicable
tax law as indebtedness, and both the Transferor and each holder of a Class B
Certificate (a "Class B Certificateholder") or any interest therein by
acceptance of its Certificate or
B-3
any interest therein, agrees to treat the Class B Certificates for purposes of
federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on
or measured by income, as indebtedness.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, no principal will be payable to the
Class B Certificateholders until the Class B Principal Commencement Date, which
is the Distribution Date on which, or following the Distribution Date on which,
the Class A Invested Amount has been paid in full. No principal will be payable
to the Class B Certificateholders until all principal payments have been made to
the Class A Certificateholders. No principal payments will be made to the Class
C Certificateholder until the Distribution Date either on or following the
Distribution Date on which the Class B Invested Amount has been paid in full.
Each Class B Certificate represents the right to receive the lesser of
(i) interest at the rate of .27% per annum above LIBOR determined on September
10, 1998 for the period from September 14, 1998 up to be excluding October 13,
1998, and at a rate equal to .27% per annum above LIBOR determined on the
related LIBOR Determination Date for each Interest Accrual Period thereafter or
(ii) the applicable Net Receivables Rate (such rate, as in effect from time to
time, the "Class B Certificate Rate"). Interest on the Class B Certificates
will accrue from the Series 1998-A Issuance Date and will be distributed on
September 14, 1998, and on the 13th day of each month thereafter, or if such day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a
"Distribution Date"), in an amount equal to the product of (a) the actual number
of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360, (b) the Class B
Certificate Rate and (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Class B
Certificates at the close of business on the first day of such Interest Accrual
Period.
Interest for any Distribution Date will include accrued interest at the
Class B Certificate Rate from and including the preceding Distribution Date or,
in the case of the first Distribution Date from and including the Series 1998-A
Issuance Date, to but excluding such Distribution Date. Interest for any
Distribution Date due but not paid on any Distribution Date will be due on the
next succeeding Distribution Date together with, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, additional interest on such amount at the Class B Certificate
Rate.
"Class B Invested Amount" for any date means an amount equal to
(a) the Class B Initial Invested Amount minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to Class B Certificateholders prior to such date, minus
(c) the aggregate amount of the Class B Investor Charge-Offs for all prior

been reduced to fund the Investor Default Amounts on all prior Determination
Dates pursuant to Section 4.13(c), minus (d) the aggregate amount of Reallocated
Class B Principal Collections for which neither the Class D Invested Amount nor

pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and (b) and Section 4.14(a) and (b)) for the purpose
of reimbursing amounts deducted pursuant to the foregoing clauses (c) and (d).
Subject to the Agreement, payments of principal are limited to the unpaid
Class B Invested Amount of the Class B Certificates, which may be less than the
unpaid balance of the Class B Certificates pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement. All principal of and interest on the Class B Certificates is due and
payable no later than the Distribution Date in March 2001 (the "Series 1998-A
Termination Date"). After the Series 1998-A Termination Date neither the Trust
nor the Transferor will have any further obligation to distribute principal or
interest on the Class B Certificates. In the event that the Class B Invested
Amount is greater than zero on the Series 1998-A Termination Date, the Trustee

Taxpayer I.D. No.:
In connection with the proposed purchase, the undersigned hereby confirms
that:
1. The undersigned (i) reasonably believes the purchaser is a "qualified
institutional buyer," as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act"), (ii) such purchaser has acquired the Certificates in a transaction
effected in accordance with the exemption from the registration requirements of
the Act provided by Rule 144A and, (iii) if the purchaser has purchased the
Certificates for one or more accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or
agent, (A) each such account is a qualified institutional buyer and (B) each
such account is acquiring the
F-1
Certificates for its own account or for one or
more institutional accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent in a
minimum amount equivalent to not less than U.S. $250,000 for each such account.
2. [FOR CLASS C AND CLASS D CERTIFICATES] The undersigned has neither
acquired nor will the undersigned reoffer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer
(any such act, a "Transfer") any Certificate the undersigned acquires (or any
interest therein) or cause any Certificate (or any interest therein) to be
marketed on or through an "established securities market" within the meaning of
Section 7704(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
and any treasury regulation thereunder, including, without limitation, an over-
the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly
disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.
3. [FOR CLASS C AND CLASS D CERTIFICATES] The undersigned is not and
will not become, for so long as the undersigned owns any interest in the
Certificates, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes. [IF THIS REPRESENTATION CANNOT BE
MADE, THE TRANSFEROR, THE SERVICER OR THE TRUSTEE MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
REPRESENTATIONS.]
4. [FOR CLASS C AND CLASS D CERTIFICATES] The undersigned is a person
who is either (A)(i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a
corporation or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) a person not described in (i) or
(ii) whose ownership of the Certificates is effectively connected with a such
person's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (within the
meaning of the Code) and our ownership of any interest in the Certificate will
not result in any withholding obligation with respect to any payments with
respect to the Certificates by any person or (B) an estate or trust the income
of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax
purposes. The undersigned agrees that (a) if the undersigned is a person
described in clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, the undersigned will furnish to the
person from whom the undersigned is acquiring a Certificate, the Servicer and
the Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and a
new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form or (b) if the undersigned a person
described in clause (A)(iii) above, the undersigned will furnish to the person
from whom the undersigned is acquiring a Certificate, the Servicer and the
Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 and a new
Form 4224, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence
of any previously delivered form (and, in each case, such other certifications,
representations or opinions of counsel as may be requested by the Transferor,
the Servicer or the Trustee). The undersigned recognizes that if the
undersigned is a tax-exempt entity, payments with respect to the Class C/Class D
Certificates may constitute unrelated business income.

5. The undersigned understands that no subsequent Transfer of a
Certificate is permitted unless (i) such Transfer is of a Certificate with a
denomination of at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Transfer is made to a QIB that
has executed a representation letter substantially similar to this letter [FOR
CLASS C AND CLASS D CERTIFICATES]; provided, that any attempted Transfer that
would cause the number of Targeted Holders (as defined in the Series 1998-A
Supplement) to exceed 99 shall be void; and provided, further, that there shall
not at any time be more than 5 Class C and 5 Class D Certificateholders of
Series 1998-A in the aggregate or such other number as may be consented to by
the Transferor, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion.
6. [FOR CLASS C AND CLASS D CERTIFICATES]The undersigned understands that
the opinion of tax counsel that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the
representations in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 above and that, if such
representations are not accurate, in addition to being subject to having the
purchase rescinded, the undersigned will be liable for damages.
7. The undersigned is either (a) not (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), including governmental plans and church
plans, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, including
individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, or (iii) any other entity whose
underlying assets include "plan assets" (as defined in the United States
Department of Labor ("DOL") Regulation Section 2510.3-101, 29 C.F.R. (S) 2510.3-
101 or otherwise under ERISA) by reason of a plan's investment in the entity,
including, without limitation, an insurance company general account, or (b) an
insurance company acting on behalf of a general account and (i) on the date
hereof less than 25% of the assets of such general account (as reasonably
determined by us) constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code, and (ii) the undersigned agrees that if, after the
undersigned's initial acquisition of the Certificates, at any time during any
calendar quarter 25% or more of the assets of such general account (as
reasonably determined by us no less frequently than each calendar quarter)
constitute "plan assets" for purposes of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and no exemption or exception from the prohibited transaction rules applies
to the continued holding of the Certificates under Section 401(c) of ERISA and
the final regulations thereunder or under an exemption or regulation issued by
the DOL under ERISA, we will dispose of all of the Certificates then held in our
general account by the end of the next following calendar quarter.
8. The undersigned understands that any purported Transfer of any
Certificate in contravention of the restrictions and conditions set forth in
paragraphs 1 through 7 above (including any violation of the representation in
paragraph 3 by an investor who continues to hold a Certificate occurring any
time after the Transfer in which it acquired such Certificate) shall be null and
void, and the purported transferee shall not be recognized by the Trust or any
other person as a Certificateholder for any purpose.

9. The person signing this letter on behalf of the ultimate beneficial
purchaser of the Certificates has been duly authorized by such beneficial
purchaser of the Certificates to do so.
10. The Certificates purchased by the undersigned should be registered in
the name and issued in the denominations set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. All
payments on the Certificates held by the undersigned should be wired in
accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule 1 hereto unless the
undersigned otherwise notifies the Transferor, the Servicer and the Trustee in
writing.
You are entitled to rely upon this letter, and the undersigned understands
that, in granting their respective consents to the purchase of Certificates, the
Transferor and the Servicer will rely on the undersigned's representations and
warranties in this letter and on the undersigned's certifications in the
documents (including, without limitation, the Form W-9 or Form 4224, as
applicable) delivered by the undersigned to the Transferor, the Servicer or the
Trustee in conjunction with the purchase of Certificates by the undersigned.
You are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry
with respect to the matters covered hereby.
Very truly yours,
