upon Public Debentures), that will be used to tabulate acceptances and
rejections of the Plan is exclusively as follows:
a. Where no Proof of Claim has been timely filed, the amount of the
claim shall be equal to the amount listed, if any, in respect of such claim in
the Debtors' Schedules, as amended, to the extent such claim is not listed as
contingent, unliquidated or disputed;
b. Where a Proof of Claim has been timely filed and not objected to on
or before the deadline set by the Court, the amount and classification shall be

purposes, after notice and a hearing, pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy
Procedure 3018(a);
d. Where the Debtors, the Committee or any party in interest has filed
an objection to a Claim, the Claim shall not be allowed for voting purposes
unless the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and hearing, has allowed such Claim in
a specific amount and classification for voting purposes; and,
e. Claims filed in an unliquidated or unknown amount shall be counted
as one vote for satisfying the numerosity requirement of Section 1126(c) of the

applying the aggregate dollar amount provisions of that section.
2.3 For purposes of voting by holders of the Public Debentures and
Preferred Stock, their Claims and Interests will be tabulated in an amount equal

Interests:
a. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3018(a), whenever
Creditors or holders of an Interest submit more than one ballot voting on the
same Claim or Interest prior to the voting deadline, the last ballot received
prior to the voting deadline shall be deemed to reflect the voter's intent and
thus to supersede any prior ballots;
b. Creditors and holders of Interests must vote all of their Claims or
Interests within a particular Class under the Plan either to accept or reject
the Plan and may not split their vote. Accordingly, a ballot (or multiple
ballots with respect to separate Claims or

Interests within a single Class), that partially rejects and partially accepts
the Plan will not be counted. (This provision shall not apply to summary ballots
completed by intermediaries that reflect the votes of the beneficial owners of
such Interests); and,
c. Any ballot that (i) does not indicate whether the holder is voting
for or against the Plan, (ii) indicates both a vote for and against the Plan;
or, (iii) is not signed, shall not be counted.
2.5 Voting on the Plan by each holder of a Claim or Interest is important.

THE COMPANY

A. History and Organization of NAL Financial Group, Inc. and Affiliates.
3.1 The following subsections detailing the history of the Debtors,
pre-petition and describing their capital structure has been extracted from
NAL's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, NAL's Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, from certain Private Placement Memoranda
for NAL Auto Trusts 1997-1 and 1997-2 and, for the period of June 30, 1997
through the filing date of March 23, 1998, from NALF's records and press
releases. The

reader is directed to NALF's public filings including the aforementioned Form
10-K and Form 10-Q on file with the Court for more detailed information
concerning the Debtors, pre-petition. There are no persons currently employed by
the Debtors who have personal knowledge of these facts. The Debtors' principal
officers were terminated or resigned as of the dates set forth below:
(i) Robert Bartolini, Chief Executive Officer - 2/19/98;
(ii) David Sheir, Senior Vice President, Accounting - 3/13/98;
(iii) Robert Carlson, Senior Vice President, Financing - 12/97;
(iv) John Schaeffer, Executive Vice President - 8/97; and,
(v) Paul Repecki, Chief Operations - 2/98.
3.2 NALF was founded in February, 1991 and became publicly held by virtue
of a merger on November 30, 1994 with a public shell company. NALF formed
subsidiaries as needed including the other Debtors herein.
3.3 Until the second quarter of 1994, the Debtors' principal activities
involved the bulk purchase and servicing of seasoned and non-performing
portfolios of consumer and mortgage loans and automobile lease receivables that
had been administered by the Resolution Trust Corporation or the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. After 1994, the principal focus of the Debtors' business
shifted to the purchase and servicing of sub-prime automobile loan and lease
contracts originated by automobile dealerships in connection with the sale or
lease of automobiles to consumers. Total contracts purchased increased to
approximately $21.1 Million through December 31, 1994; $165.7 Million through
December 1, 1995; and, $303.6 Million through December 1, 1996. As a result, the
Debtors serviced portfolios of sub-prime auto loan and lease contracts with a
principal amount or face value of approximately $44.4 Million on December 31,
1994; $153.8 Million on
Page 7 of 42

December 31, 1995; $335.9 Million on December 31, 1996; and, $317.5 Million as
of the close of business of March 20, 1998.
3.4 Sub-prime automobile loans are granted to consumers who are perceived
to be relatively high credit risks due to various factors, including the manner
in which they have handled previous credit, the absence or limited extent of
their prior credit history, or their limited financial resources. The Debtors
purchased contracts directly from dealers under various arrangements and
contracts related principally to the non-prime credit segment of the automobile
finance market. The Debtors also engaged in providing insurance and related
products to their dealers and customers through an insurance subsidiary, NIS,
and re-marketed repossessed collateral through PCSF and auctions.
3.5 The Debtors' principal place of business is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
and, until early 1998, they had regional offices in Atlanta, Georgia and
Orlando, Florida and a car lot in Delray, Florida used to resell repossessed
vehicles, operated through a franchise from JD Byrider.
B. Capital Structure.
3.6 The following is a historical summary of the Debtors' capital
structure. The reader is again referred to the Debtors' 10-K and 10-Q referenced
above for more detailed information.
1. Debt.
3.7 From NALF's inception until September, 1995, the Debtors purchased
portfolios through a variety of borrowings. The borrowings included:
(i) a $20 Million, three year revolving credit facility from Congress
Financial Corporation, which was paid in full post-petition in an
amount less than $10,000.00;
(ii) a revolving credit line with GE Capital Credit Corp. which
commenced in 1994 as a $5 Million, one year revolving facility
and evolved into a $25

Million credit line and was paid off in full when the position
was refinanced by Textron which extended several credit
facilities in November 1997;
(iii) a revolving credit facility with Berman Family Trust which
commenced in 1996 and which was paid off in June, 1997;
(iv) a specialized borrowing facility classified as a debt
participation agreement with Fairfax Savings Bank (now
Susquehanna Bank) which has been satisfied post-petition; and,
(v) the issuance of Public Debentures by the Debtors between April,
1995 and September, 1996 totaling $38.8 Million of which $17.8
Million principal balance were converted into common stock as of
August, 1997 and an additional $10.4 Million principal balance
were converted into common stock in October, 1997. As of the
Petition Date, the Company had $10.6 Million principal amount of
Public Debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from
December 1997 through 1999.
(vi) after establishing the Greenwich Facility described in Section
3.8 below, the Debtors also entered into a joint venture and
servicing agreement with First Financial Acceptance, Inc. ("FFA")
pursuant to which (a) the Debtors acquired an equity interest in
receivables generated by FFA; (b) the Debtors assisted FFA in the
financing of FFA's and the Debtors' interests in such receivables
through the Greenwich Facility, and subjected both the Debtors'
and FFA's interest in such receivables to Greenwich's lien and
other rights and interest in such receivables; and, (c) the
Debtors serviced the FFA receivables.
2. The Greenwich Facility.
3.8 In September, 1995, the Debtors entered into a $50 Million warehouse
facility (the "Greenwich Facility") with Greenwich Capital Financial Products,
Inc. ("Greenwich"). In November, 1996, the Greenwich Facility was increased to
$100 Million. The Greenwich Facility was structured as a repurchase agreement,
but was characterized as a borrowing for financial reporting purposes.
3.9 The opening of the Greenwich Facility also marked a significant change
in the manner in which the Debtors did business. Starting in 1995 with the
opening of the Greenwich Facility, the

Case No. 98-21966-BKC-PGH to No. 98-21972-BKC-PGH
Debtors' Amended Disclosure Statement
for Debtors' Plan of Reorganization.
Debtors commenced a program by which they purchased contracts with funds
provided under a warehouse facility and periodically securitized those contracts
using the proceeds of the securitization to re-pay amounts owed under the
Greenwich Facility. The Debtors completed securitizations of sub-prime
automobile contracts in 1995 and 1996 totaling in excess of $450 Million. The
format for each securitization was to transfer the contracts to a trust, e.g.
NAL Auto Trust 1995-1, NAL Auto Trust 1996-3, etc., and for that trust to issue
senior notes or bonds which were privately placed by Greenwich as an
underwriter. The trusts provided for the Debtors to continue as a servicer for
the contracts after their securitization. As of March 23, 1998, NAL was servicer
for six (6) securitization trusts, NAL Auto Trust 1995-1, 1996-1, 1996-2,
1996-3, 1996-4 and 1997-2. Each of the Trusts (except 1997) contained "trigger"
provisions in which the servicing fees would be moved to a subordinate position
in the waterfall in the event certain collateral performance standards (i.e.
delinquency rates, default rates, etc.) were not met. The Debtors agreed to
subordinate their servicing fees until all required payments due bondholders had
been made and the respective reserve account fully funded. Only NAL Auto Trust
1997-2 provided for servicing fees to be paid to the Debtors without regard to
the performance of the trust assets and this transaction required that the upon
the occurrence of the earlier of (a) a reserve account being fully funded; or,
(b) nine months have elapsed from the closing date of the transaction, the
Debtors would begin receiving servicing fees. Greenwich contends that as a
result of the decisions of the Debtors and the poor performance of the trust
collateral, under the terms of the underlying agreements the Debtors were
servicing the NAL Auto Trusts 1995-1, 1996-1, 1996-2, 1996-3 and 1996-4 without
receiving servicing fees. The Debtors dispute that contention.

3. The Textron Facilities.
3.10 In November, 1997, each of NALA and Autorics entered into loan and
security agreements with Textron which provided for maximum combined credit
facilities of up to $60 Million (the "Textron Facilities"). Revolving loans
under the Textron Facilities were made using a borrowing formula based upon the
value of eligible loan and lease contracts. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors
owed Textron an aggregate amount equal to approximately Fifty Million Dollars
($50,000,000.00).
3.11 The Textron Facilities were secured by the loans and leases comprising
the borrowing base (the "Textron Collateral"), as well as by a junior interest
in the collateral pledged by the Debtors to Greenwich and the Debtors' On
Balance Sheet Loan Portfolios.
3.12 The Committee and the Debtors objected to the validity, priority and
extent of the Textron secured claim. Prior to the hearing on those objections,
the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 5), as a result of which (i) the Textron Collateral was assigned to
Textron in full satisfaction of its Claims against the Debtors; (ii) Textron
released its security interest in all other assets of the Debtors; (iii) Textron
agreed to pay the Debtors a retroactive servicing fee for the period from April
1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, in the amount of Five Hundred Six Thousand
Dollars ($506,000.00); and, (iv)Textron agreed that the Debtors would continue
to service the Textron Collateral. The Order approving the settlement became
final on July 16, 1998.
4. Equity.
3.13 As of March 25, 1997, NALF had 50,000,000 authorized shares of common
stock of which 10,443,395 were issued and outstanding. The Company's common
stock was included in the

NASDAQ National Market as of May, 1995 and prior to that time had been quoted on
the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board since December, 1994. The Company's stock
symbol is "NALF". The Company was delisted by NASDAQ in December, 1997.
3.14 During the period January, 1995 through March, 1997, the stock of NALF
traded between a high of $18.38 and a low of $3.37 1/2. As of March 25, 1997,
NALF had 163 holders of record of its common stock.
3.15 During the period April, 1995 through September, 1996, NALF offered
and sold in private placement transactions approximately $38.8 Million of Public
Debentures in addition to shares of its common stock. The Public Debentures had
varying conversion prices subject to reduction based on price protection
adjustment features contained in the Public Debentures. In April, 1996, Conseco
purchased $10 Million of the Public Debentures and received warrants to purchase
515,000 shares of NALF at Twelve Dollars ($12.00) per share. Through November,
1997, an aggregate of $28.2 Million in principal amount of the Public Debentures
had been converted into 41,230,482 shares of common stock.
3.16 Commencing in June, 1997, the Debtors entered into a series of
transactions with Conseco through several of its subsidiaries, including but not
limited to Conseco Private Capital Group, Inc. and CIHC, Incorporated
(collectively, "Conseco"). (See Article III, B, Para. 3.7(v)). In June, 1997,
the Debtors entered into a Credit Agreement with Conseco pursuant to which the
Debtors borrowed $5 Million of short term debt financing from Conseco, evidenced
by a note maturing in December, 1997. The loan was secured by servicing fees
received or to be received from the NAL Auto Trusts, a pledge of the stock of
Autorics II, Inc. (a non-Debtor subsidiary), a pledge of residual interests in
the NAL Auto Trusts and other collateral ("Conseco's Pre-Petition Liens"). In

1997, the Debtors and Conseco also entered into an agreement pursuant to which
Conseco agreed to purchase all outstanding Public Debentures owned by other
parties. NALF issued warrants to Conseco to purchase 257,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of fifteen cents (15(cent)) per
share. As part of this transaction, the Debtors requested, and Conseco agreed,
to provide an additional $5 Million of short term debt financing to the Debtors
pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement between Conseco and
the Debtors, Conseco purchased the Public Debentures owned by third parties,
invested $5 Million on October 1, 1997 in exchange for newly issued, convertible
preferred stock of NALF, and agreed to convert all of the Public Debentures to
common stock. The conversion price on the Public Debentures was fixed at
30-32(cent) per share which was 80% of the closing bid price of NALF's common
stock on August 19, 1997.
3.17 On or about October 1, 1997, Conseco converted $11.8 Million in Public
Debentures into 36,814,305 shares of common stock. On February 6, 1998, Conseco
established discretionary additional financing on a demand basis not to exceed
One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) which was secured
under the Credit Agreement. The Debtors borrowed Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($700,000.00) under such financing prior to the Petition Date.
C. Events Preceding Bankruptcy.
3.18 NALF reported in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1996 filed on or about March, 1997 that it had "... experienced recent liquidity
concerns due to a combination of certain factors relating to the operation of
its securitization trusts and the acquisition of certain Contracts which are
pending financing." By the time that NALF filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ending June 30, 1997 filed on or about August 19, 1997 it acknowledged "... a
significant liquidity issue." By the time that the Company filed its June, 1997
10-Q the Debtors were not receiving any

income for the servicing being provided to any of the NAL Auto Trusts. By July
of 1997, the Debtors had exhausted the $5 Million which Conseco had loaned
approximately one month earlier and were in economic extremis again. Between
August, 1997 and February, 1998, the Debtors took steps to reduce costs and
expenses, including reductions to staff, reductions in the volume of contracts
purchased and consolidation of some operations performed by the various Debtors.
3.19 Despite attempts to reduce costs and expenses, by early 1998, the
Debtors were again in financial extremis, had suffered the resignation of their
accounting firm, had canceled all insurance coverage related to the loans and
leases (including insurance coverage Bankers Trust
contends was required relating to NAL's servicing of loan portfolios for the
various Auto Trusts), and were not in a financial position to continue servicing
the six NAL Auto Trusts without being paid.
D. Significant Events During the Chapter 11.
3.20 The Debtors all filed their petitions on or about March 23, 1998. At
the time that the petitions were filed, the Debtors employed approximately 150
people. The Debtors immediately moved to procedurally consolidate their cases
and the Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to maintain a
consolidated cash management system and to utilize certain of their existing
bank accounts. (C.P. 4 and 5, respectively).
3.21 The Debtors commenced negotiations with Bankers Trust Company
("Bankers Trust") as Indenture Trustee for all six of the NAL Auto Trusts with a
view towards obtaining a servicing agreement, on at least an interim basis,
whereby the Debtors would be compensated at an agreed upon rate for the
servicing they were providing to the Trusts, post-petition. Consistent with that
position, the Debtors filed a motion to reject the pre-petition sale and
servicing agreements and the pre-petition administration agreements with the NAL
Auto Trusts and requested an expedited hearing

in connection therewith. The Court held an initial hearing on April 6, 1998,
continued the hearing to April 7, 1998 (C.P. 63) and on that date, granted the
Debtors' motion to reject the sale and servicing agreements and the
administration agreements and made the order effective on April 7, 1998.
Negotiations among Bankers Trust (as Indenture Trustee for each of the Trusts),
the noteholders for each of the Trusts, NAL and others, ultimately led to an
Interim Servicing Agreement through June 30, 1998 or a period of 98 days from
the Petition Date which effectively provided for a fee schedule based upon a
declining pool balance of each of the Trust portfolios of 500 basis points
annualized for the first 30 days, 475 basis points annualized for the next 30
days and, 400 basis points annualized for the balance of the period with 75
basis points from the final 38 days to be held in escrow pending a change over
in servicers and dependent upon the Debtors' cooperation in connection with that
change over. The Interim Servicing Agreement was approved in open court on April
30, 1998 and reduced to written order (C.P. 191) on May 15, 1998. An interim
order which approved the Interim Servicing Agreement to provide servicing and
administration was entered on April 21, 1998 (C.P. 116). NAL Auto Trust 1995-1
was expressly excluded from the Interim Servicing Agreement but continued to be
serviced by NAL. NAL anticipates filing an action to recover the reasonable
value of those services.
3.22 The Debtors made a decision within the first ten days of their Chapter
11 Cases to terminate the origination business and to attempt to reorganize
around a core servicing business. To that end, the Debtors downsized within the
first 30 days to approximately 135 employees and commenced negotiations with
various parties including its two largest secured creditors, Textron and
Greenwich, its major shareholder CIHC, Incorporated, through its affiliate
Conseco Private Capital Group, Inc., and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors. However, while conducting those

negotiations, the Debtors believed it to be prudent to offer for sale all of
their On Balance Sheet Portfolios and to hold such sale prior to the expiration
of the Interim Servicing Agreement in order to ensure that the Debtors would not
deplete their resources by servicing such portfolios without the income from
servicing the Trusts. With that strategy, the Debtors filed a motion for the
entry of an order authorizing the auction sale of the Debtors' On Balance Sheet
Portfolios free and clear of liens and for the approval of bidding procedures
(C.P. 101). On May 13, 1998 the Court entered an order granting the motion,
thereby allowing the Debtors to set the sale for their On Balance Sheet
Portfolios (C.P. 187). The aforesaid Sale Order set the sale date for June 24,
1998 and, among other things, approved the Amended Bidding Procedures and
further established a procedure whereby the two principal secured creditors
would be permitted to establish the amount of their secured claims for credit
bidding purposes and further establishing a mechanism whereby the Debtors and
the Committee would be permitted to object to such claims. Textron and Greenwich
filed their claims and the Debtors and the Committee filed objections to
portions of each such claim.
3.23 In April, 1998, the Debtors hired William Dyer as interim CEO. The
Court entered an order approving Dyer's employment on June 9, 1998, nunc pro
tunc to April 29, 1998. Dyer continues in this position presently under an oral
agreement with the Debtors.
3.24 During the first two weeks of June 1998, the Debtors, with the
assistance of Hou-Tex Financial Services Corp., which was retained by the
Debtors as a broker to assist in the sale of the On Balance Sheet Portfolios,
permitted prospective purchasers to conduct due diligence. At the same time the
Debtors and the Committee conducted discovery with respect to the claims
objections filed as to the secured Claims of Textron and Greenwich. During this
same period of time, the Debtors continued negotiations with Textron, Greenwich,
Conseco, the Committee, Bankers Trust, and

certain bond holders of the various NAL Auto Trusts. On June 24, 1998, the
Debtors held a sale of the On Balance Sheet Portfolios and sold all of the
portfolios described as the Groups B and C Portfolios, except for the deficiency
balances on its charged-off accounts. On June 24, 1998 and June 25, 1998, the
Debtors also reached term sheet agreements with Textron, Greenwich, Conseco,
Bankers Trust and the Committee which agreements are attached hereto as follows:
Exhibit 2: Term Sheet Between NAL, the Committee and Conseco;
Exhibit 3: Term Sheet Between NAL, Greenwich, Conseco and the Committee;
Exhibit 4: Term Sheet Between Conseco and NAL;
Exhibit 5: Settlement Agreement Between Textron, NAL and the Committee;
and,
Exhibit 6: Term Sheet Between NAL, Bankers Trust, Conseco, Greenwich,
Ohio Bureau of Workman's Compensation, Systems and Services
Technologies, Inc. and Union Central Life Insurance Co.
As of the close of business on June 26, 1998, the Debtors held clear funds with
respect to the portfolio sales for the Groups B and C Portfolios and had
executed term sheets as described above.
The completion of these items accomplished the following:
i. Resolution of all of the disputes between the Debtors and
their two principal secured creditors;
ii. Establishment of a basis for a plan of reorganization for
the Debtors to reorganize around a core loan servicing
business providing servicing to two of the NAL Auto Trusts
(1996-4 and 1997-2), the Textron Portfolio and the Greenwich
Portfolio which aggregate in excess of $200 Million in
principal amount of loans and leases;
iii. Provide for a guaranteed amount to be paid to the unsecured
creditors of Two Million Thirty Thousand Dollars
($2,030,000.00) on the Effective Date with an additional
amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Residual if
and when realized; and,
iv. Resolution of all of the disputes between the Debtors, their
unsecured creditors represented by the Committee and
Conseco.

3.25 On or about July 8, 1998, the Debtors filed an Adversary Complaint
against AutoTech Leasing for violation of the Confidentiality Agreement AutoTech
had signed in connection with conducting its due diligence prior to the sale.
The Debtors also filed a motion seeking the entry of a temporary restraining
order and requested an emergency hearing. An emergency hearing was set for July
9, 1998 and at the hearing, AutoTech agreed to the entry of an order that
adopted the language of the Confidentiality Agreement.
3.26 To the extent not previously approved, or otherwise contained or
reflected in the Plan, the Debtors seek approval of all of the settlements with
the various parties as identified in Exhibits 2 through 6 attached hereto and
will expressly provide in the Confirmation Order approval of such settlements.
Implementation of all of the term sheets referenced above, except as to Textron,
as Exhibits 2 through 4 and 6 is expressly contingent upon the Debtors
confirming a plan of reorganization and, with respect to the term sheet
agreement between the Debtors and Conseco (Exhibit 4) that such confirmation
occur on or before September 30, 1998. The loan documents required to carry out
the intent of the Term Sheets will be filed with the Court on or before August
21, 1998.
3.27 On or about July 29th, 1998, RAS Group, Inc. ("RAS") the purchaser of
Portfolios 51,000; 52,610; 61,500; and 61,505, filed a pleading captioned Motion
for Order Compelling Enforcement of Purchase and Sale Agreement, etc. The
aforesaid Motion seeks turnover of the so-called security deposits associated
with the leases purchased by RAS and other relief. If all of the requested
relief were granted, the Debtors would have to pay from the proceeds of the sale
approximately $75,000.00 to RAS. The Debtors dispute the contentions of RAS.

of Conseco shall be satisfied by Conseco retaining Conseco's Pre-Petition liens
on its collateral to secure its Class 2 Claim, which liens shall remain
unimpaired except that Conseco shall (a) release its lien as to servicing fees;
and, (b) be granted a first lien on the Debtors' interest in the Residual from

4.6 Class 3 Claim: Class 3 shall consist of the Allowed Secured Claims of
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.
(collectively "Greenwich"). Class 3 shall be satisfied in full when the
Greenwich Portfolio is transferred to the Trust promptly after the Effective
Date pursuant to the Securitization, at which time Senior Bonds shall be issued
by the Trust to Greenwich on a non-recourse basis to the Reorganized Debtors,
which was owed the amount of Forty-Two Million Seven Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand
Two Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($42,782,232.15) as of June 1,
1998. The Senior Bonds shall bear a coupon of 30 day Libor plus 180 basis
points. The Senior Bonds will be paid from the cash flow of the Securitization,
after the payment of servicing fees and expenses, first by the payment of
interest, second by the payment of principal until such time as the principal
due on the Senior Bonds is reduced to 77.5% of the outstanding pool balance of
Eligible Loans contained within the Securitization, after which time Greenwich
will receive payments from the Securitization so as to maintain such percentage
until the Class 3 Claim is paid a total of Forty-Two Million Seven Hundred
Eighty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Two Dollars and Fifteen Cents
($42,782,232.15) plus the interest set forth above as adjusted between June 1,
1998 and the Securitization.

Greenwich and Conseco in the amounts of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand
($220,000.00) and Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00),
respectively. Class 4 Claims shall be satisfied by the issuance of Junior
Securities by the Trust at the time that the Greenwich Portfolio is transferred
to the Trust pursuant to the Securitization. Such Junior Securities shall

servicing fees and expenses and payment to the Senior Bonds to reduce principal
to 77.5% of the outstanding pool balance of Eligible Loans as set forth above

respect to the Class 3 Claim. The Class 4 Claims shall bear interest at 30 day
Libor plus 180 basis points.
4.8 Class 5 Claims: Class 5 shall consist of the Allowed Claims of general
unsecured creditors other than Conseco. This Class includes rejection claims. On
the Effective Date, holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims shall be paid, pro rata, a
lump sum payment in the amount of Two Million Thirty Thousand Dollars
($2,030,000.00). Thereafter, such holders shall be paid, pro rata, on each
Payment Date, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amounts
received related to Residual from the Securitization, if realized. The Residual
shall be subordinated to servicing fees and expenses, payment to the holders of
Senior Bonds as set forth above in Class 3, principal and interest, and payment
to the holders of Junior Securities of principal and interest as set forth above
in Class 4. The Committee and the Debtors currently estimate the total amount of
Allowed general unsecured Claims at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and
that the initial distribution will produce a dividend of 40.6%. Houlihan Lokey
Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc., experts retained by the Debtors and the
Committee to value the Textron and Greenwich Portfolios estimate that the range
of values for twenty-five percent (25%) of the Residual is between Eight Hundred
Four Thousand Six Hundred Twenty-Six Dollars ($804,626.00) and Nine Hundred
Ninety-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Three Dollars ($998,943.00). A value
within this range however is not assured and may be affected by defaults and the
costs of servicing.
4.9 Class 6 Claim: Class 6 shall consist of the Allowed Claim of Conseco as
represented by those Public Debentures not converted to NALF's common stock as
of the Petition Date in the principal amount of Twelve Million One Hundred Nine
Thousand Eighty Dollars ($12,109,080.00) plus interest. Class 6 shall be
satisfied by the holder of the Allowed Class 6 Claim retaining its Claim

Public Debentures will accrue interest until maturity at which time all accrued
interest and unpaid principal shall be due and payable in full. The Allowed
Class 6 Claim shall be subordinated to the lump sum payment to Class 5 and Class
5's right to receive twenty-five percent (25%) of the Residual from the
Securitization. Conseco shall be paid on the Public Debentures all payments or
monies received or to be received by the Reorganized Debtors on account of such
Reorganized Debtors' interests in the residuals from NAL Auto Trusts 1995-1,
1996-1, 1996-2, 1996-3, 1996-4 and 1997-2 and the Residual from the
Securitization, which payments or monies shall first be used to pay accrued
interest and then principal thereunder; provided, however, that no such payments
(excluding payment from any other source by the Reorganized Debtors) shall be
made on this Class 6 Claim until the Class 2 Claim is paid in full. The
Reorganized Debtors shall each assume the obligations of the Public Debentures
as though the issuer thereof except to the extent modified herein.

of this Class of Interests shall have a right to demand redemption after five
(5) years from the Effective Date. The holder of the Class 7 Interests shall be
paid by remittance of all payments or monies received or to be received by the
Reorganized Debtors on account of such Reorganized Debtors' interests in the

4.16 Allowed Priority Tax Claims as established by 11 U.S. C. ss.507(a)(8)
and Classes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of Claims and Interests are
impaired.
C. Voting On The Plan
4.17 In order to obtain approval of their Plan, the Debtors must submit the
Plan to a vote of creditors, and must, pursuant to Section 1126 of the
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss.1126), obtain an affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims in
each impaired Class permitted to vote on the Plan which in fact vote. An
impaired class is any class of creditors under the Plan that is not receiving
what it has a contractual right to receive

and is, therefore, entitled to vote since it is impaired except for Classes 8
and 9 which are deemed to have rejected the Plan. Any class of creditors that is
receiving what it is contractually entitled to receive is unimpaired and is
deemed to have accepted the plan. The impaired classes are set forth above in
Article IV, Section B, Section 4.16 above.
D. Insider and Affiliate Claims
4.18 The claims, if any, of Conseco in each of the Debtors, to the extent
Allowed, would be an "insider claim," as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy
Code. The Debtors have entered into a settlement with Conseco which is more
fully described above in Para. 3.4, such settlement being a transaction with an
insider. On the Effective Date, the Debtors and Conseco will release each other
in accordance with terms of such settlement except for the Claims and Interests
of Conseco being treated under the Plan. Other claims against insiders are
disclosed at Para. 4.19 below.
E. Preferential, Fraudulent or Other Voidable Transfers and Other Claims
4.19 To the extent that any recoverable transfers were made to Conseco,
Textron, Greenwich or Bankers Trust as Indenture Trustee for the Trusts (except
as to matters involving servicing fees and expenses for NAL Auto Trust 1995-1)
such claims have been compromised and released and will be extinguished upon
Confirmation of the Plan. As to Conseco, this is the same release referenced in
Para. 4.18 above. An examination is presently being conducted to determine
whether any other such transfers may be recovered for the benefit of the
Debtors' estates. By agreement with the Committee, the Debtors will release and
not pursue any preference actions except as to insiders. The Debtors also have
claims against NAL Autotrust 1995-1 for unreimbursed servicing fees and expenses
and a claim against LSI and Nuvell for a paid, but unearned, servicing fee. The
Debtors may also have claims against Robert R. Bartolini, the former Chief
Executive Officer; John T.

F. Leases and Executory Contracts
4.20 Leases and executory contracts that will be assumed, except as to
those that have already been rejected or assumed are as set forth on Exhibit 7
attached hereto. Except as set forth above, all other leases and executory
contracts will be deemed rejected. All leases and executory contracts being
assumed are current. Rejection Claims are Class 5 Claims.
G. Disputed Claims
4.21 Pursuant to certain provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, both the
Debtors and the Committee are entitled to object to claims which are improperly
filed, deficient, or otherwise invalid. In furtherance of this, counsel for the
Debtors and the Committee are reviewing and evaluating all Claims which have
been filed with the Court in these cases; this process shall continue until all
Claims have been analyzed. The Court set July 22, 1998, as the bar date in
respect of all Claims listed in the Debtors' Schedules as disputed, contingent
or unliquidated. The Debtors scheduled all unsecured, non-priority Claims as
disputed, contingent and unliquidated. Therefore, any creditor failing to file a
timely proof of claim whose Claim was scheduled as disputed, contingent and
unliquidated shall not be entitled to a Claim. The Debtors scheduled certain
priority Claims without such exceptions. Therefore, unless objections are filed
to such Claims, all Claims scheduled without such exceptions shall be deemed
Allowed. The Debtors have scheduled approximately $4.6 Million of unsecured
Claims (excluding Conseco) as disputed, unliquidated and contingent. At this
time, it is not possible

to identify the number or the amount of Claims which will be objected to by the
Debtors or the Committee.

9. Howard v. NAL Financial Group, Inc., Bartolini, Schaeffer,
Carlson and LaVigne, Case No. 97-6717 pending in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, filed
6/12/97.
The Debtors are advised that the Wilson (#1) and Lowrance (#4) actions were
voluntarily dismissed on July 22, 1998. The class action complaints set forth
above are virtually identical in terms of the factual basis upon which each is
premised and the relief sought. Each action is predicated on Section 10(b) of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Some name all of the former officers and directors as co-defendants and some
name only Robert R. Bartolini as a co-defendant. A motion has been filed which,
if granted will result in all of the above referenced actions being consolidated
under Civil Action No. C-97-6412 as styled In re NAL Financial Group, Inc.
Securities Litigation. No order granting consolidation has yet been granted. A
copy of Howard v. NAL, et al. Complaint, which is illustrative of the nine (9)
complaints is on file with the Court under a Notice of Filing Class Action
Complaint.
I. Vesting of Property of the Estate
4.23 On the Effective Date, any and all property of the Debtors' estates
pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise shall be transferred
to and vested in the respective Reorganized Debtors as set forth in the Plan.
4.24 From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be
authorized and empowered to take any and all action and execute any and all
documents as may be necessary to effectuate substantive consolidation of the
various estates.
4.25 On the Effective Date, except to the extent required to complete
claims objections, the Committee will be dissolved and all members thereof and
professionals engaged thereby shall be relieved of any and all further
responsibilities or duties hereunder. The fees and expenses of the

Committee's professionals and the Reorganized Debtors' professionals incurred in
connection with the claims objection process shall be paid by the Reorganized
Debtors, subject to the allowance of such fees and expenses by the Court. The
Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to object to such fees.
4.26 The Debtors' professionals, the Committee and its professionals (the
Limited Liability Parties) will be released and such release shall be a
provision of the Plan. The Limited Liability Parties shall not be liable to the
Debtors or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Debtors, any holder of a Claim or
Interest, any other party in interest in the Chapter 11 Case, the Reorganized
Debtors or any other person or other entity for any action taken or omitted to
be taken in good faith in connection with the formulation, promulgation, filing,
confirmation and performance of the Plan. On the Effective Date, holders of all
Claims, including Disputed Claims and the holders of Interests, in consideration
for the promises and obligations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and
the Committee will be deemed to have forever covenanted with the Limited
Liability Parties not to sue, assert any claim against or otherwise seek any
recovery from the Limited Liability Parties, whether for tort, fraud, contract
or otherwise, based upon any act or occurrence or failure to act taken in good
faith in connection with the formulation, promulgation, filing, confirmation and
performance of the Plan. Nothing herein is intended to release the Limited
Liability Parties from liabilities arising from any willful misconduct. The
Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate all such
actions.
Any ballot voted in favor of the Plan shall act as a release of any claims
held by the Claimant casting such ballot against the Limited Liability Parties.
Moreover, any party holding claims against the Limited Liability Parties who
does not vote in favor of the Plan must file a civil action in this

Court asserting such claims no later than the Effective Date as defined in Para.
1.25 in the Plan, or such claims shall be forever barred.
J. Issuance of New Equity Interests in the Reorganized Debtors
4.27 On the Effective Date, Conseco and Greenwich shall each contribute new
value to NALF in an amount of cash equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
difference between the cash remaining in the Reorganized Debtors on the
Effective Date after the payments required in Articles III and IV of the Plan
have been made and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). In addition, Conseco
and Greenwich shall each make available to the Reorganized Debtors working
capital lines of credit in the original principal amount equal to One Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) which lines of credit will be for
a period of years to be agreed upon and accrue interest at prime plus one
percent (1%), with interest payable monthly. The lines of credit shall not be
used to pay principal or interest on any Claims against the Debtors treated
herein. The Debtors, Conseco and Greenwich shall enter into mutually acceptable
loan documents reflecting the terms herein. Finally, Conseco is subordinating
any and all of its unsecured Claims against the Debtors to those Allowed Claims
of general unsecured creditors in Class 5, which subordination is more
particularly described above. In exchange therefor, NALF shall issue the Class A
New Equity Interests in NALF to Conseco representing one hundred percent (100%)
of the total issued and outstanding Class A New Equity Interests in NALF
immediately after the Effective Date and (i) the Class B New Equity Interests to
Conseco representing eighty percent (80%) of the total issued and outstanding
Class B New Equity Interests in NALF immediately after the Effective Date; and,
(ii) the Class B New Equity Interests to Greenwich representing twenty percent
(20%) of the total issued and outstanding Class B New Equity Interests in NALF
immediately after the Effective Date. Also, all unsecured Claims of

Case No. 98-21966-BKC-PGH to No. 98-21972-BKC-PGH

Conseco will be Allowed in accordance with the Plan but will be subordinated to
the Allowed Claims of general unsecured creditors in Class 5. Finally, the
Preferred Stock in NALF held by CIHC, Incorporated shall be treated in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Debtors require significant cash on
hand on the Effective Date in order to confirm the Plan and make the required
payments to creditors thereunder. In addition, the Reorganized Debtors require a
certain level of cash and the availability of debt in order to operate their
business post-confirmation in part so as to be able to maximize the value of the
Residual for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5. As a result,
the Debtors believe that the cash contributions by Conseco and Greenwich and the
access to working capital lines of credit, together with other consideration
from Conseco, is worth significantly more than the Class A and Class B New
Equity Interests in NALF being issued to Conseco and Greenwich. Without such
contributions, the Debtors believe the Equity Interests in NALF to be worthless.
The Reorganized Debtors intend to file a Form 15 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission so as to terminate registration of all classes of their
pre-Confirmation Interests under Rule 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act prior to the
Effective Date.
ARTICLE V
SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION
-------------------------
5.1 All of the Debtors will be substantively consolidated for claims
purposes. The surviving Reorganized Debtors shall be NAL Financial Group, Inc.,
NAL Acceptance Corp. and Autorics. The Debtors believe that substantive
consolidation of their estates is appropriate due to the interrelationship of
their assets, liabilities and businesses. NALF will remain the holding company
and all of the remaining Debtors will be consolidated into NALA except for
Autorics, and Autorics II, a non-debtor. This substantive consolidation will not
effect claims treatment which will be effected as though there was a substantive
consolidation into a single entity. For example, there will be only

one Class of claims for priority taxes, one Class for general unsecured
creditors, etc. (See, Article IV, Section A, Classes of Claims).
5.2 Substantive consolidation of all unsecured Claims into single Classes
for all Debtors is appropriate under the circumstances of this case. All of the
Debtors were funded by NALF, directly or indirectly, and each owes NALF tenfold
or greater the amount of its unsecured debt excluding intercompany debt. The
chart set forth below illustrates this point. It further illustrates that no
unsecured creditor in an impaired Class suffers any detriment. (Asset Values set
forth below are liquidation values).
Intercompany To Whom Unsecured
Debtor Amount Owed Owed Value of Assets Debt

NALA $63,000,000.00 NALF 8,729,117.00 (1)$4,141,767.00

NALF 0.00 (2) 144,134.00
The only exception is NALM which only owes NALF Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00) and is owed Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($2,350,000.00) by NALA. However, NALM has no unsecured debt. Consequently, all
holders of Allowed unsecured claims will receive

(1) All Pre-Petition Debt excluding intercompany or affiliates.
(2) Priority Tax only.

more under the Plan in just the first distribution on the Effective Date than
they would if there was no substantive consolidation including intercompany
debt, with assets using separate Plans.
5.3 The Reorganized Debtors shall have the following directors:
A. NAL Financial Group, Inc.
1. Ngaire Cuneo;
2. Andy Hubregsen;
3. Mike Bonnet; and,
4. Andy Combs.
B. NAL Acceptance Corp.

1. William Dyer, Chief Executive Officer;
2. Andy Combs, Chief Operating Officer; and
3. Mercedes Padin, Vice President and General Counsel.

rate of Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($95,000.00) and Mercedes Paden was
compensated at a rate of One Hundred

Five Thousand Dollars ($105,000.00). William Dyer, who was hired by the Debtors
post-petition as described in Section 3.23 above, was compensated at a rate of
Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) per month. These officers may be
compensated at similar rates, post-confirmation, which compensation may be
altered at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtors.
ARTICLE VI
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
---------------------
6.1 For complete and up to date financial information, the Debtors
respectfully refer their Creditors to their Schedules, Amended Schedules and
their most recent DIP Reports, all of which are on file with the Court. No
projections are provided because distributions to the unsecured Creditors are
not dependent on future operations.
ARTICLE VII
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
--------------------
7.1 The Debtors must demonstrate, as a condition of confirmation, that each
impaired Class of Creditors will receive at least what it would receive in a
chapter 7 proceeding. A Liquidation Analysis, which compares the amounts to be
paid to Class 5 under this Plan versus what the Debtors believe Creditors could
receive if they rejected the Plan and the Debtors were required to liquidate in
a chapter 7, is attached hereto as Exhibit 8, as supplemented herein.
7.2 Subsequent to the completion of Exhibit 8, events have transpired that
are not reflected in the accountant's Liquidation Analysis that require further
disclosure. The PREAMBLE to the analysis discusses potential preference claims.
An initial preference analysis reveals approximately Thirty-One Thousand Dollars
($31,000.00) against three (3) vendors. It is believed that these claims would
not be pursued vigorously due to their limited value in excess of litigation
costs.

Debtors' Amended Disclosure Statement
for Debtors' Plan of Reorganization.
7.3 Note 2 - Accounts Receivable discusses the Debtors' "deficiency
portfolio." The deficiency portfolio consists of skip and bankruptcy charge
offs, and payoff deficiencies that the Debtors continue to collect. In late
1997, the Debtors converted their loan processing software to a new system.
During the change over, certain deficiency accounts were updated in the new
system improperly. The accountant's analysis of the outstanding balances
currently listed does not support the integrity of the database, hence, the
Debtors are unable to quantify the total number of accounts, or the unpaid
balance due at this time. The range of probability varies between Twenty Million
Dollars ($20,000,000.00) and Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) which might
realize Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) to Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00) if properly assembled and marketed. These sums have not
been included in the Liquidation Analysis as their realization value is unable
to be determined. Until such value can be quantified, the accountants are
precluded from including such sums in the Liquidation Analysis in accordance
with established accounting procedures. These recoveries generally have resulted
in the Debtors recovering between One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and
Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000.00) per month while the
Debtors continue in operation. These sums would not continue on conversion to
Chapter 7. Moreover, while the cost of collecting these amounts has not been
quantified it is believed to be significant and would probably increase if
collections were being made by parties other than the Debtors.
7.4 Note 5 - Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net at page 6
of the Liquidation Analysis refers to "... net of the deduction of costs
associated... ."The costs amount to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) for
marketing and setting up the sale. The appraiser's appraisal value the personal
property at One Hundred Eight-One Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars

($181,850.00), to which a "buyers premium" would be added to compensate the
auctioneer, less the marketing and set up costs, netting the estate One Hundred
Seventy-One Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($171,850.00).
7.5 Note 10 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds to Secured Creditors
and Priority Claims includes certain tax claims. Since the passing of the claims
bar date, certain additional personal property taxes have been billed to the
Debtors in the approximate amount of Fifty-Five Thousand Four Hundred Dollars
($55,400.00). It is believed that the vast majority of these taxes are due and
owing by individual lessees and the tax is a pass through item, and is therefore
not reflected in the Liquidation Analysis. However, to the extent that the
individual lessee does not meet this tax obligation, the Debtors as titleholder,
may be required to pay this tax.
7.6 Note 11 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds - Conseco is found at
page 7 of the Liquidation Analysis. There exists an additional scenario, wherein
Conseco could have their entire subordinated, which would further increase the
distribution to unsecured creditors to $0.617310.
7.7 At the time of the preparation of the Liquidation Analysis, the claims
bar date had not passed. A review of the claims filed to July 22, 1998 has been
accomplished. Certain creditors who did not receive notice of the bankruptcy
were given to August 14, 1998 to file claims. The review of the claims filed
through July 22, 1998, assuming that the Court sustained all claims objections,
would reveal that the anticipated Class 5, general unsecured creditor body would
approximate Two Million Five Hundred Eight Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Two
Dollars ($2,508,392.00). The report used the amount of Four Million Seven
Hundred Ninety-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Seven Dollars ($4,797,607.00) as the
general unsecured creditor class.

7.8 As indicated in the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors believe that the
Plan will provide a greater distribution to Creditors than would be achieved if
the cases were converted to cases under Chapter 7 and liquidated. Under the
Plan, Class 5 Creditors may expect to receive total distributions with respect
to their Claims, in a range from forty-two and three tenths percent (42.3%) to
as much as one hundred percent (100%), depending on the value of the Residual
and whether all objections to claims are sustained, provided however, that no
assurances can be made as to the value of the Residual, if any. It is possible,
under certain circumstances, that Class 5 Creditors may receive a distribution
of less than forty-two and three tenths percent (42.3%) of the Allowed Claims.
ARTICLE VIII
RISK FACTORS
------------
8.1 The only significant risk being undertaken by holders of general
unsecured Claims is with respect to payment on the Residual. Payment on the
Residual is contingent upon (i) successful servicing of the Greenwich Portfolio
post-securitization in an effective and efficient manner such that the return on
the Residual is maximized; (ii) defaults in such portfolio; and, (iii) the cost
of capital. Risk factors traditionally associated with a payment to general
unsecured Creditors over time have been eliminated in this instance by virtue of
the lump sum payment to be distributed to the general unsecured Creditors
holding Allowed Claims, pro rata, on the Effective Date and the retention of a
backup servicer for the Greenwich Portfolio.
ARTICLE IX
EFFECTIVE DATE
--------------
9.1 The Effective Date of the Plan shall be the thirtieth day after the
entry of the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE X
CRAMDOWN
---------
10.1 The Debtors will seek confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Section
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss.1129(b)) which permits the Court
to confirm a plan despite the rejection of the plan by an impaired class. This
procedure is commonly referred to as "Cram Down". The Debtors may request Cram
Down despite the rejection of the plan by an impaired class if:
A. The plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to each
impaired class of claims or interests that has rejected the plan;
B. The plan is "fair and equitable" with respect to each impaired
rejecting class; and,
C. At least one (1) impaired class has accepted the plan.
10.2 The Bankruptcy Code sets forth different standards for establishing
whether a plan is "fair and equitable" with respect to a rejecting class,
depending upon whether the class is comprised of secured or unsecured claims or
interests. If the Plan is not accepted by the requisite number of votes in each
impaired class voting on the Plan, the Debtors intend to seek confirmation of
the Plan pursuant to the Cram Down procedure described herein and as established
in 11 U.S.C. ss.1129(b).

ARTICLE IV
TREATMENT OF IMPAIRED CLAIMS
4.1 Class 2 Claim: The Allowed Class 2 Claim of Conseco shall be
satisfied by Conseco retaining Conseco's Pre-Petition Liens (as defined in the
Disclosure Statement) on its collateral to secure its Class 2 Claim, which lien
shall remain unimpaired except that Conseco shall (a) release its lien as to
servicing fees; and, (b) be granted a first lien on the Debtors' interest in the
Residual from the Securitization, i.e. the seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Residual owned by the Reorganized Debtors. The Allowed Secured Claim of Conseco
in Class 2 shall be paid as follows: (i) on the Effective Date, the Reorganized
Debtors shall pay to Conseco the cash which the Debtors currently hold in a
segregated account in the approximate amount of Two Million Seven Hundred
Seventy-Three Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($2,773,395.00), which
amount will reduce the Allowed Secured Claim of Conseco; and, (ii) thereafter,
and in full satisfaction of such Allowed Secured Claim, Conseco shall (1) accrue
interest on a monthly basis at the floating interest rate of 30 day Libor plus
425 basis points commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for a period of
five (5) years thereafter on which date all remaining unpaid principal and

Securitization (the Reorganized Debtors shall only own seventy-five percent
(75%) of the Residual from the Securitization). Such payments or monies (or
payments from any other source by the Reorganized Debtors) shall first be used
to satisfy accrued interest on the Allowed Secured Claim in this Class 2 and
second to pay principal outstanding thereunder until such time as the Allowed
Secured Claim, principal and interest, is paid in full. There shall be no
prepayment penalty in respect of the Conseco Allowed Secured Claim and the
Reorganized Debtors and Conseco shall enter into amended and renewed loan
documents to reflect the terms herein.

<PAGE>
4.2 Class 3 Claim: The Class 3 Claim shall be satisfied in full when
the Greenwich Portfolio is transferred to the Trust promptly after the Effective
Date pursuant to the Securitization, at which time Senior Bonds shall be issued
by the Trust to Greenwich on a non-recourse basis to the Reorganized Debtors,
which was owed the amount of Forty-Two Million Seven Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand
Two Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($42,782,232.15) as of June 1,
1998. The Senior Bonds shall bear a coupon of 30 day Libor plus 180 basis
points. The Senior Bonds will be paid from the cash flow of the Securitization,
after the payment of servicing fees and expenses, first by the payment of
interest, second by the payment of principal until such time as the principal
due on the Senior Bonds is reduced to 77.5% of the outstanding pool balance of
Eligible Loans contained within the Securitization, at which time Greenwich will
receive payments from the Securitization so as to maintain such percentage until
the Senior Bonds are paid a total of Forty-Two Million Seven Hundred Eighty-Two
Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Two Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($42,782,232.15) plus
the interest set forth above as adjusted for payments received by Greenwich
between June 1, 1998 and the Securitization.
4.3 Class 4 Claims: Class 4 Claims shall be satisfied by the issuance
of Junior Securities by the Trust at the time that the Greenwich Portfolio is
transferred to the Trust pursuant to the Securitization. Such Junior Securities
shall receive payment from the cash flow of the Securitization after the payment
of servicing fees and expenses and payment to the Senior Bonds to reduce
principal to 77.5% of the outstanding pool balance of Eligible Loans as set
forth above with respect to the Class 3 Claim. The Class 4 Claims shall bear
interest at 30 day Libor plus 180 basis points.
4.4 Class 5 Claims: On the Effective Date, holders of Allowed Class 5
Claims shall be paid, pro rata, a lump sum payment, in the amount of Two Million
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($2,030,000.00). Thereafter, such holders shall be paid,
pro rata, on each Payment Date, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Residual from the Securitization if realized and as calculated as of the
Determination Date. The Residual shall be subordinated to servicing fees and
Page 13 of 32

expenses, payment to holder of the Senior Bonds as set forth in Class 3,
principal and interest, and payment to the holders of Junior Securities,
principal and interest, as set forth in Class 4. The Indenture Trustee appointed

bankruptcy proceedings of NAL, and (ii) the sale of certain loan and lease
portfolios that took place on Wednesday June 24, 1998, which sale was pursuant
to the Sale Order(1):

<PAGE>
2. The net proceeds from the auction sale of the Group B and Group C
portfolios shall be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account with a
mutually acceptable party, which party may be NAL, pending consummation of the
terms of the settlement described herein. Net proceeds shall mean, for each
portfolio within the Group B and C Portfolios, the gross amount received for
such portfolio less the amount of the outstanding liens thereon or third party
ownership interest therein (exclusive of Textron's blanket lien resulting from
Textron Loan and Lease Portfolio).
3. The Committee agrees with and consents to the (i) Term Sheet attached
hereto as Exhibit A between NAL, the Committee, Conseco and Greenwich,
including, without limitation, the settlement proposed therein, which Term Sheet
was delivered to counsel to the Committee on June 26, 1998, and (ii) Term Sheet

"TERM SHEET BETWEEN NAL, GREENWICH,
CONSECO AND THE COMMITTEE"
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS
PROPOSED TERM SHEET FOR SETTLEMENT BETWEEN GREENWICH
AND NAL ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES
NAL Acceptance Corporation and its affiliates ("NAL" or the "Debtors") and
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.
(collectively, "Greenwich") hereby agree to the following terms and conditions
in connection with (i) the settlement and compromise of those certain Objections
of NAL and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Objections")
respectively to the Secured Claim of Greenwich, and (ii) any and all other
matters between the parties hereto related to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings of NAL, the various loan/master repurchase documents between
Greenwich and NAL (the "Master Repurchase Documents") and the securitizations of
NAL loans as to which Greenwich acted as underwriter:
1. The parties acknowledge that NAL removed the Greenwich Loan Portfolios,
identified as No. 61510 and No. 61520 in the Sale Order(1) (the "Loan
Portfolios"), from the auction sale that occurred on Wednesday June 24, 1998.
- ----------
(1) On May 13, 1998, the Court entered an Order Granting Debtor's Amended
Motion for Authorization to Sell Certain Financial Assets Pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Sale Order").
<PAGE>
2. On Wednesday, June 24, 1998, NAL conducted the auction sale of those
portfolios described in the Sale Order as the Group B and Group C portfolios,
provided however, that NAL withdrew from such portfolios the deficiency
portfolios contained therein, which deficiency portfolios shall remain with NAL.
3. The net proceeds from the auction sale of the Group B and Group C
portfolios shall be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account with a
mutually acceptable party, which party may be NAL, pending consummation and
final approval by the Bankruptcy Court (or any other court of competent
jurisdiction) of the settlement between Textron, Conseco, NAL and the Committee.
4. Commencing July 1, 1998, Greenwich agrees to pay to NAL a monthly
servicing fee, payable in weekly installments, in advance, until the earlier of
(a) the closing of the securitization of the Loan Portfolios, (b) September 30,
1998, or (c) the date a decision is made not to effect a reorganization of NAL,
in connection with the Loan Portfolios at an annual rate equal to 3.65% (the
"Servicing Fee Rate") of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
loans in such Portfolios at the beginning of such month, plus any and all actual
out of pocket expenses incurred by NAL in connection with the servicing thereof,
in
2
<PAGE>
arrears, in accordance with the terms of the servicing agreement to be entered
into by and between NAL and Greenwich. In addition, NAL shall retain all late
fees, extension fees and other fees normally associated with loan servicing.
From and after the closing of the securitization of the Loan Portfolios,
Greenwich agrees to pay NAL the Servicing Fee Rate monthly in arrears.
5. The parties agree to continue the hearing on the Objections pending
confirmation of the plan of reorganization.
6. As soon as reasonably possible, but no later than the effective date of
confirmation of a plan of reorganization, NAL shall seek approval of the Court
to enter into a securitization transaction with Greenwich whereby NAL will
transfer to a trust, or other entity to be formed, all right, title and interest
in the Loan Portfolios in full satisfaction of the obligations of NAL in favor
of Greenwich under the Master Repurchase Documents. Assuming such approval is
obtained, Greenwich and NAL shall close such securitization transaction promptly
upon confirmation of the plan of reorganization. Simultaneously with the
transfer of the Loan Portfolios to a trust, senior bonds will be issued to the
Greenwich in the amount of Greenwich's claim against NAL inclusive of that
portion that represents the margin deficit, but exclusive of any
3
<PAGE>
portion constituting default interest and pre/post petition professional fees
and expenses (the "Greenwich Claim"). As of June 1, 1998, the amount of the
Greenwich Claim equalled $42,782,323.15. Further, the bonds will bear a coupon
of one month Libor plus 180 basis points. Finally, the Junior Securities, as
hereinafter defined, shall be issued to Greenwich and Conseco as set forth in
Section 7. The cash flow from the securitization of the Greenwich Portfolio will
first be used to pay the servicing fees and expenses due NAL described above,
second to interest on the senior bonds, third to reduce the principal balance of
the senior bonds to 77.5% of the outstanding pool balance of the eligible loans
(such eligibility criteria to be negotiated in good faith), fourth, to interest
and then principal on the Junior Securities and thereafter to NAL. NAL shall
also be entitled to retain 100% of the equity/residuals in the Greenwich Loan
Portfolios after the securitization (the "Residuals").
7. Greenwich asserts that it has incurred $220,000 in fees and expenses in
connection with this matter prior to the filing of NAL's bankruptcy case.
Conseco asserts that it has incurred $250,000 in fees and expenses in connection
with this matter. The parties agree that such fees and expenses shall be
4
<PAGE>
paid by and through the issuance of junior securities in the amount of $470,000
(the "Junior Securities") in the securitization trust created pursuant to
Section 6 above, which Junior Securities shall be in the respective original
amounts as set forth herein and shall be entitled to receive payments of
interest and then principal in accordance with the order of priority set forth
in such Section 6 above. Finally, the Junior Securities shall bear a coupon of
one month Libor plus 180 basis points.
8. NAL and Greenwich shall enter into a mutually acceptable servicing
agreement whereby NAL shall continue to service the Loan Portfolios for
Greenwich through the securitization described above and thereafter for the
trust created thereunder through the term of the trust (the "Servicing Period").
NAL agrees to assist and cooperate in the addition of a hot backup servicer for
the securitization described above.
9. Upon the entry of an order confirming the plan of reorganization,
Greenwich will return to NAL an amount equal to approximately $373,000, which is
currently and shall remain in the Bankers Trust Collection Account until such
return, which amount constitutes the excess collections received during the
months of April and May. To the extent there are excess collections received
5
<PAGE>
in the month of June, then such amounts shall be added to the amount set forth
herein. Any excess collections from and after July 1, 1998 until the closing of
the securitization will remain in the Bankers Trust Collection Account until
such securitization. Upon securitization, such collections will be applied, if
necessary, to reduce the principal balance of the senior bonds to 77.5% of the
outstanding pool balance of the eligible loans (such eligibility criteria to be
negotiated in good faith) and any excess after reducing such principal shall be
distributed to NAL.
10. NAL agrees to prepare and file a plan of reorganization as soon as
reasonably possible, which plan shall provide in part on the effective date
thereof as follows:
a. For the reorganization of NAL's business based upon its servicing
platform, which platform will include servicing on the effective date for
the Textron Loan and Lease Portfolio, the Greenwich Loan
Portfolios/securitization trust, NAL Auto Trusts 97-2 and 96-4 and any
other assets of NAL. NAL agrees to pay/return to NAL Auto Trust 97-2 an
amount equal to $1.8 million on the effective date of the plan.
b. For Greenwich and Conseco to each contribute fifty (50%) percent of
the Equity Commitment to NAL on the
6
<PAGE>
effective date of confirmation. For purposes of this Term Sheet,
Equity Commitment shall mean an amount equal $3.0 million less the cash
remaining in the NAL bankruptcy estate on the effective date of the plan
after payment of all allowed administrative and priority claims and the
payment required to be made to the unsecured creditors pursuant to the Term
Sheet between the Committee and NAL.
c. For Greenwich and Conseco to each contribute to NAL on the
effective date of the plan an amount equal to $900,000.
d. Upon the effective date of confirmation of the plan, Greenwich and
Conseco will each provide NAL with a working capital line of credit in an
amount no greater than $1.5 million, the specific terms of which will be
agreed to between the parties thereto.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Greenwich's maximum contribution of equity and debt to NAL on the effective
date of the plan (inclusive of amounts contributed by Greenwich pursuant to
clause "c" of this Section 10 and exclusive of the amounts set forth in
Section 9) shall not exceed $2.7 million. Greenwich's contribution of
capital to a reorganization of NAL is expressly conditioned upon NAL having
at
7
<PAGE>
least $6 million in total capital available to NAL after giving effect
to the repayment of all payments to be made and the capital to be
contributed or loaned to NAL pursuant to the plan of reorganization.
f. Upon the effective date of confirmation, Greenwich shall receive an
amount equal to twenty (20%) of the equity interests in reorganized NAL and
Conseco will receive eighty (80%) percent of the equity interests in
reorganized NAL. Greenwich shall not be entitled to receive any
distribution/dividend on its equity interest in NAL unless and until
Conseco receives payment in full on its claims against NAL, which claims
approximate $37 million plus PIK interest.
11. On the effective date of the plan, NAL, Conseco, the Committee and
Greenwich shall execute and deliver mutual general releases to each other in a
form satisfactory to the parties by which each party will release the others
from and against any and all claims they may have, asserted or unasserted,
relating to or arising out of the pre and post petition transactions by and
between the parties hereto through the effective date of confirmation of the
plan.
8
<PAGE>
12. The transactions contained herein are subject to the entry of a final
and non appealable order confirming the plan inclusive of the terms herein. The
parties agree to use their best efforts to seek and obtain an order confirming
the plan, and to seek entry of an order by the Court shortening the required
time periods under the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure therefor.
13. All parties hereto shall bear their own fees and expenses in connection
herewith.
14. NAL hereby acknowledges and agrees that the agreements of Greenwich set
forth herein are expressly conditioned upon, and subject to, execution and
approval of (a) terms sheets that are reasonably acceptable to Greenwich between
Textron and the Committee, Conseco and NAL, and Bankers' Trust Company, the
Noteholders, the Certificateholders, NAL and Conseco in the form of Exhibits A,
B and C, respectively, and (b) confirmation of a plan of reorganization in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Greenwich.

EXHIBIT 4
"TERM SHEET BETWEEN CONSECO AND NAL"
<PAGE>
Confidential Settlement Negotiation
Term Sheet for Settlement between NAL Financial Group, Inc.
and its filed and unfiled Subsidiaries and Conseco, Inc.
NAL Financial Group and its filed and unfiled Affiliates ("NAL") and
Conseco, Inc. ("Conseco") hereby agree to the following terms and conditions in
connection with the settlement of all existing disputes between them, known and
unknown, whether or not scheduled by NAL in its bankruptcy schedules, and
whether or not a claim has been filed with respect to such disputes as follows:
1. NAL shall propose and confirm a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on or before September 30, 1998
which contains all or substantially all of the matters set forth in the
following paragraphs.
2. NAL's business when reorganized shall be as a loan servicing
operation utilizing its existing servicing platform and it shall service
initially the portfolio of loans in NAL Auto Trust 1996-4, NAL Auto Trust

Group A Loan Portfolio, and all other NAL Assets.
3. NAL shall service the above referenced portfolios at the following
rates:
a. NAL Auto Trusts - 3% per annum;
b. Greenwich and Textron Portfolios - 3.65% per annum.
All servicing fees to be paid commencing July 1, 1998 through September 30,
1998, at a minimum, with servicing paid monthly in advance and expenses paid
monthly in arrears as to (b) and with servicing and expenses paid monthly in
arrears as to (a). NAL shall retain all late fees and other fees normally
associated with loan servicing during this interim period.
4. Conseco has represented to the Debtors that it intends to enter into
an agreement with Greenwich Capital to create a joint venture which joint
venture shall jointly acquire loan portfolios for NAL to service at commercially
reasonable rates. Conseco represents that it will use its best efforts to cause
the joint venture to obtain portfolios for NAL to service consistent with NAL's
business plan.
5. Conseco has represented that Conseco and Greenwich shall each
contribute or loan an equal amount necessary for the Debtor to have capital of
Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) including any cash remaining in the NAL
bankruptcy estate at the time of the confirmation after the payment of all
claims and expenses and other payments required pursuant to the plan. This shall

7. Subject to confirmation of a Plan of Reorganization, and subject to
(i) the debts contained in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, (ii) to the secured
debt owed by NAL to Conseco, and (iii) the remaining dollar investment made by
Conseco in NAL, the total of which is approximately $37 million, NAL shall
receive a general release from Conseco. Conseco shall receive a general release
from NAL and NAL shall further use its best efforts to obtain a channeling
injunction to the extent that obtaining such an injunction in connection with
the confirmation of a plan of reorganization does not preclude confirmation.
Such a channeling injunction shall not be a condition precedent to Conseco's
obligations pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be permitted to act as an
impediment to confirmation of a plan of reorganization for NAL. The channeling
injunction shall channel all liabilities with respect to pending or future
actions related to the purchase and/or sale of NAL common stock.
8. Conseco shall to the extent necessary to give full force and effect
to the above, act as servicer for the NAL Auto Trusts and shall designate NAL as
its agent.

10. The plan of reorganization shall contain as a provision the
substantive consolidation of all of the filed NAL subsidiaries. This shall not
limit the corporate structure for the reorganized debtor as of the date of
confirmation.
11. This Agreement shall be binding when executed by facsimile
signature and may be executed in counterparts.
Page 2 of 3
<PAGE>
12. Conseco has represented that, subject to the confirmation of a Plan
of Reorganization, NAL shall have the responsibility to make a payment to
Bankers Trust in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($150,000) as a breakup fee in connection with the termination of Bankers
Trust's agreement with it agent, SST, in that until confirmation of a Plan, the
Debtor shall be responsible for the amount payable to SST monthly in an amount
not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) per month, for a maximum of
ninety (90) days, and for an additional backup servicer fee to Bankers Trust of
Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per year for each Trust serviced
by NAL. Conseco has further represented that Bankers Trust shall bear all of the
legal expenses and other expenses associated with its services pursuant to such
arrangements as set forth above, and with respect to the preparation of any
documents or agreements related to the transactions contemplated herein. This
Agreement incorporates by reference the attached June 26 1998 Letter Agreement
by and between NAL Acceptance Corporation and Bankers Trust Company, among
others.
13. Conseco has represented that it will utilize its best efforts to
assist NAL in the implementation of it Plan of Reorganization; provided,
however, that such assistance does not include providing capital to NAL other
than as contemplated in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this

for Authorization to sell Certain Financial Assets Pursuant to Section 163 of
the Bankruptcy Code (the "Sale Order").
<PAGE>
3. Textron agrees not to credit bid at the auction sale of the Group B and
Group C portfolios.
4. The net proceeds from the auction sale of the Group B and Group C
portfolios shall be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account with a
mutually acceptable party, which party may be NAL, pending consummation and
final approval by the Bankruptcy Court (or any other court of competent
jurisdiction) of the settlement described herein. Open consummation and final
approval of the settlement pursuant to the terms hereof, Textron agrees to
release its lien on such net proceeds, inclusive of the proceeds arising from
the sale of portfolios 67,000. As a result, such net proceed shall be made
available for distribution to creditors in accordance with the terms of the plan
of reorganization NAL intends to file.
5. Prior to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 1998, NAL shall provide Textron
written notice regarding whether it will continue to provide servicing for the
Loan and Lease Portfolios after June 30, 1998. If NAL advised Textron that it
will not continue to provide servicing for the Loan and Lease Portfolios, NAL

and Lease Portfolio to a replacement servicer, and each of NAL and the Committee
shall consent to relief from the automatic stay for Textron to place the Loan
and Lease Portfolios with the replacement servicer. The transition of the Loan
and Lease Portfolio to Textron's replacement servicer shall be at Textron's
expense.
6. Provided that NAL continues to provide servicing for the Loan and Lease
Portfolio and gives notice to Textron when and as required by Paragraph 5
hereof, subject to consummation and final approval of this settlement,
commencing effective July 1, 1998. Textron agrees to pay to NAL a monthly
servicing fee, in advance, in connection with the Loan and Lease Portfolios at
an annual rate equal to 3.65% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") of the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the loans/leases in such portfolios, plus any
and all actual out of pocket expenses incurred by NAL in connection with the
servicing thereof, in arrears, in accordance with the terms of the servicing
agreement to be entered into by and between NAL and Textron. In addition, NAL
shall retain all late fees, extension fees and other fees normally associated
with loan servicing.
7. The parties agree to continue the hearing on the Objections pending
consummation and final approval of the settlement described herein.
8. Pursuant to the terms of this settlement, NAL shall transfer to Textron

automobiles and other property subject thereof, free and clear of all claims and
interests, as well as nay and all payments or proceeds related thereto which may
be in the NAL cash management system/"pipeline" as of the date hereof and
hereafter arising, in full satisfaction of the obligations of NAL in favor of
Textron under the aforementioned Loan and Security Agreements. Textron and NAL
shall terminate the revolving credit facility currently in place and Textron
shall release its blanket lien and security interest on NAL's assets, including,
without limitation, the net proceeds from the sale of the Group B and C
Portfolios being held in escrow.
9. Provided that NAL gives the notice when and as required by Paragraph 5
hereof and NAL continues to provide servicing for the Loan and Lease Portfolios,
NAL and Textron shall enter into a mutually acceptable servicing agreement
whereby NAL shall continue to service the Loan and Lease Portfolios for Textron
and Textron agrees to pay to NAL the Servicing Fee Rate for eighteen months,
beginning July 1, 1998, subject to the early termination provisions set forth
therein and generally described in paragraph 10 hereinbelow (the "Servicing
Period").
10. Upon the order approving this settlement becoming a final order,
Textron will pay to NAL an amount not greater than $510,000 representing
servicing fees and out of pocket expenses relating to the Loan and Lease
Portfolios retroactive to April 1, 1998, based on the Servicing Fee Rate. The
amount payable by Textron to NAL for servicing retroactive to April 1, 1998 is
subject to confirmation by NAL and Textron. Each of Textron and NAL agrees to
use its best efforts to determine such amounts within seven (7) days from the
date hereof.
<PAGE>
11. Textron agrees that in the event it desires to terminate NAL's
servicing of the Loan and Lease Portfolio prior to the expiration of the
Servicing Period for any reason other than a default under the terms of the
servicing agreement, then Textron shall immediately pay to NAL an additional
amount equal to the projected servicing fee that NAL would have been entitled to
from Textron for the remainder of the servicing Period, provided, however, that
such fee shall not exceed $800,000.
12. NAL, the Committee and Textron shall execute and deliver mutual general
releases to each other in a form satisfactory to the parties by which each party
will release the others from and against any and all claims they may have,
asserted or unasserted, relating to or arising out of the pre and post petition
transactions by and between the parties hereto, through the date of consummation
and final approval of this settlement.
13. The settlement contained herein is conditioned upon and subject to the
entry of a final and non appealable order approving the settlement and
compromise provided for herein. The parties agree to use their best efforts to
seek and obtain an order approving this settlement and compromise, and to seek
entry of an order by the Court shortening the required time periods under the
Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure for the approval
of the settlement described herein.

"TERM SHEET BETWEEN NAL, BANKERS TRUST, CONSECO,
GREENWICH, OHIO BUREAU OF WORKMAN'S
COMPENSATION, SYSTEMS AND SERVICES TECHNOLOGIES,
INC. AND UNION CENTRAL LIFE INSURANCE CO."
<PAGE>
June 26, 1998
Bankers Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee for NAL Auto
Trust 1997-2 and 1996-4 and as Back-up Servicer for NAL
Auto Trust 1996-4
Four Albany Street
New York, New York 10006
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth certain terms and conditions pursuant to which
NAL Acceptance Corporation ("NAL"), Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust") as
back-up Servicer of NAL Auto Trust 1996-4 (the "96-4 Trust") and as Indenture
Trustee under the 96-4 Trust and NAL Auto Trust 1997-2 (together with the 96-4
Trust, referred to herein as the "Trusts"), all of the various noteholders and
certificateholders under the Trusts (collectively, the "Noteholders"), System &
Services Technologies, Inc. ("SST"), and Conseco, Inc. ("Conseco") will
negotiate and enter into definitive agreements resulting in the appointment of
NAL as the interim servicer and administrator of the Trusts and Conseco
becoming the servicer and administrator of the Trusts upon the confirmation of
a bankruptcy plan of reorganization of NAL and certain of its affiliates (the
"Plan"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Interim Agreement dated April 7, 1998, as
amended and approved by the Bankruptcy Court (the "Interim Agreement").
1 . Fees and Expenses. If by the close of business on September 30, 1998
SST has not been duly appointed as the active servicer on the 96-4 Trust, NAL
shall pay Bankers Trust a fee of $150,000 as a deactivation fee (the
"Deactivation Fee") relating to SST's appointment as the active servicer for the
96-4 Trust. Bankers Trust shall forthwith pay SST the full sum of the
Deactivation Fee upon receipt by Bankers Trust of such Deactivation Fee from
NAL. In exchange, SST agrees that it shall not immediately commence servicing of
the 96-4 Trust. SST shall, however, remain as the agent of Bankers Trust and
shall stand ready to immediately begin providing services to the 96-4 Trust at
the instruction of Bankers Trust, as per the terms of the subagency agreement
between SST and Bankers Trust. Additionally, during the period beginning July 1,
1998 and ending upon the earlier of September 30, 1998 or the time at which SST
is duly reappointed as the active servicer on the 96-4 Trust, NAL agrees to pay
SST the amount of $25,000 per month. Each such payment shall be due on the last
business day of each such month, commencing on July 31, 1998 and, unless SST is
reappointed, ending with the last payment on September 30, 1998.
In the event SST is not duly reappointed as the active servicer for the 96-4
Trust and the NAL Plan is confirmed as herein provided, and from and after such
date of confirmation, Bankers Trust shall receive from Conseco or NAL a backup
servicer fee of $12,500 per year, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for
serving as back-up servicer of the 96-4 Trust; and further upon such
confirmation, Bankers Trust shall also receive a fee from NAL or Conseco of
$2,500 per year plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each of the Trusts
for acting as Indenture Trustee of the Trusts. The Noteholders shall be
responsible for all legal expenses and other expenses associated with Bankers
Trust's services pursuant to such arrangements and preparation of this Letter
Agreement and definitive documents related to the transactions contemplated by
this Letter Agreement.
The fees and expenses provided in this Section 1 shall constitute the entire
amounts due SST and Bankers Trust with respect to the deactivation of SST as the
active servicer for the 96-4 Trust, and any other costs or fees due and owing
Bankers Trust under the Interim Agreement as it relates to the Trusts. In the
event, however, SST is reappointed as the active servicer for the 96-4 Trust,
SST shall receive all fees and expenses, including boarding fees, as provided in
its subagency agreement with Bankers Trust.
2. Upon Bankruptcy Court Approval of this Letter Agreement, NAL shall
continue as the servicer
<PAGE>
Bankers Trust Company

June 26, 1998
and administrator of the Trusts pursuant to the terms of the Interim Agreement
as modified by this Letter Agreement and the Extension Agreement (as defined
below). Such modifications shall include:
(a) The servicing fee shall be at a per annum rate of 3.0% of the quarterly
outstanding pool balance of loans remaining in the Trusts, payable monthly;
provided however, that upon confirmation of NAL's reorganizational plan by the
Bankruptcy Court, the servicing fee shall be payable quarterly;
(b) NAL shall be entitled to retain all recoveries on charge offs related
to periods prior to January 1, 1998 and 30% of all recoveries on charge offs
related to periods thereafter;
(c) NAL shall be entitled to retain all extension fees for extensions
granted on the Trusts representing less than 1.5% of the number of Contracts (as
defined in the Interim Agreement) contained in each of the Trusts; and
(d) termination of the Extension Agreement (as defined below) on the
earlier of September 30, 1998 or confirmation of the Plan.
To the extent inconsistent with the terms of the Interim Agreement, the
terms of this Letter Agreement and the Extension Agreement shall be controlling.
3. The parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to prepare a
definitive agreement consistent with the terms of this Letter Agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto and to Nuvell, Autorics II, Inc.,
and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for NAL and its debtor
affiliates extending the terms of the Interim Agreement (the "Extension
Agreement"). On or before June 30, 1998, NAL shall obtain an order of the
Bankruptcy Court approving and authorizing NAL to enter into this Letter
Agreement. As soon as practicable, NAL shall file a motion with the Bankruptcy
Court pursuant to the terms of the Interim Agreement seeking entry of an order
approving and authorizing NAL to enter into the Extension Agreement. The
Extension Agreement and the effective date thereof shall be subject to the entry
of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Extension Agreement in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Interim Agreement.
4. NAL and Conseco shall use their best efforts to seek and obtain
confirmation of a Plan, including agreeing to shortening the required time
periods under the Bankruptcy Code, prior to September 30, 1998. The Plan shall
provide, among other things, for (i) Conseco to become the Master Servicer (as
defined below), (ii) for NAL to be designated as Conseco's agent for the
performance of Conseco's duties as Master Servicer, (iii) mutual releases of all
claims, known or unknown, arising out of or in connection with the origination,
servicing, and or administration of the Trusts and NAL Auto Trusts 96-1, 96-2
and 96-3 satisfactory to each of the Noteholders and as to NAL Auto Trust 95-1
(except no releases shall be provided as to matters involving fees and expenses
for such NAL Auto Trust 95-1), Bankers Trust, Conseco, SST (except with respect
to continuing obligations under SST's subagency agreement with Bankers Trust)
and NAL, (iv) the payment by NAL to NAL Auto Trust 1997-2 of $1.8 million on the
effective date of the Plan in full satisfaction of servicing fee disputes in
connection therewith, (iv) $6 million of total capital being available to NAL
after the effective date of the Plan. At the time of confirmation of the Plan,
Bankers Trust shall appoint Conseco as the servicer and administrator of the
Trusts (the "Master Servicer") pursuant to the terms related to a successor
Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreements related to the Trusts and
administration under the Administration Agreements related to the Trusts; and
Conseco, as Master Servicer and Administrator thereunder, shall then assume and
perform such duties and obligations thereunder; provided however, that Conseco
shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of NAL occurring prior to the
effective date of the Plan or for any breach by NAL of any of its
representations and warranties contained in the Sale and Servicing Agreement for
each of the Trusts prior to the effective date of the Plan or the Interim
Servicing Agreement. Upon becoming Master Servicer, Conseco shall not be Bankers
Trust's agent but shall be independently obligated to perform pursuant to those
agreements and shall appoint NAL as its agent under those agreements.

EXHIBIT 8
"LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS"
<PAGE>
NAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
PREAMBLE
The Debtor's main business is in financing and servicing retail finance
contracts receivable. Based on the auction proceeds of Accounts Receivable
Portfolios auctioned, and the bids received on Accounts Receivable portfolios
withdrawn, it is the Debtors opinion that a liquidation of the Debtor's
remaining Accounts Receivable Portfolios and other assets under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy code would produce proceeds substantially less than the going-concern
value of the Reorganized Companies.
The "liquidation value" of the Debtors would consist primarily of cash on hand
and the proceeds from a sale of the Debtors assets by a Chapter 7 trustee, and
any recoveries by the Debtors from any preference actions. The proceeds from a
Chapter 7 liquidation that would be available to all holders of unsecured claims
would be reduced by the costs and expenses of liquidation. Costs of liquidation
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would include fees of a trustee, and of
counsel and accountants, retained by the trustee, asset disposition expenses,
and claims arising from the operation of the Debtors business during the Chapter
7 case. The liquidation itself could trigger certain priority claims, and
accelerate other priority payments that otherwise would be due in the ordinary
course of business. Priority claims would be paid in full out of the liquidation
proceeds before the balance would be made available to pay unsecured claims or
to make distributions in respect of interests.
A Chapter 7 liquidation analysis is set forth in this Exhibit to the Disclosure
Statement. This analysis is provided solely to disclose to holders of claims of
interest, the effects of a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtors,
subject to the assumptions set forth in the analysis. The analysis makes no
allowance for potential preference claims, or other litigation recoveries and
collections currently pending or anticipated. In confirming the Debtors Plan,
the Bankruptcy Court will decide whether the Debtors Plan provides a greater
recovery for creditors and interest holders than a liquidation of the Debtor's
under Chapter 7. In doing so, the Bankruptcy Court will make its own finding as
to the liquidation value of the Debtors.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS
As stated in the Disclosure Statement, a Liquidation Analysis has been prepared
to indicate the values which may be obtained by Secured, Priority and unsecured
Non-Priority creditors if the assets of the Company were sold pursuant to a
Chapter 7 liquidation, as an alternative to continued operation of the business
and payments under the Plan. The issue of potential recoveries resulting from
potential preference claims and fraudulent conveyance litigation, and other
litigation recoveries and collection activities, currently pending or
anticipated have not been addressed in this Analysis.

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
NOTES TO LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
In conjunction with developing the Plan included in the Disclosure Statement to
which this is an exhibit, management has prepared a Liquidation Analysis (the
"Analysis") which may be helpful to holders of claims and interests in reaching
their determination of whether to accept the Plan. The Analysis is based on the
assumptions discussed below.
The Analysis reflects the Debtors estimates of the proceeds they would realize
if the Debtors were to be liquidated in accordance with Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Analysis is based on the Debtors projected assets as of
September 22, 1998. Underlying the Analysis are a number of estimates and
assumptions that, although developed and considered reasonable by management,
are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and its management and upon
assumptions with respect to liquidation decisions that could be subject to
change. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the values reflected in the
Analysis would be realized if the Debtors were, in fact, to undergo such a
liquidation.
The issue of potential recoveries resulting from potential preference claims,
and other litigation recoveries and collections, currently pending or
anticipated, have not been addressed in this Analysis.
The analysis assumes a liquidation period of one (1) month.
The following notes describe the significant assumptions, developed by
management, that are reflected in the Analysis.
Note 1 - Cash
The Analysis assumes that subsequent operations during the liquidation period
will not effect cash available for distribution materially except as reflected
by the net proceeds generated by liquidating non-cash assets and the costs
associated with liquidating the Debtors.
Susquehanna Bank is an equity holder in certain receivables for which the
Debtors derived $190,000 at auction. In terms of a settlement reached,
Susquehanna Bank will obtain an equivalent percentage of its participation in
each pool that it funded. As the determination regarding the settlement has not
been made, for the purpose of this Analysis, it is assumed that the entire
$190,000 will accrue to Susquehanna Bank. The Debtor's believe that they have an
equity interest of between $10,000 and $15,000 in the proceeds obtained of
$190,000. These moneys have been deducted from the available cash.

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
NOTES TO LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Note 2 - Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of third party contract receivables,
financed under the Greenwich warehouse line ($48,244,726) and deficiency
balances on charged-off receivables ($21,218,700). Under a Chapter 7 liquidation
scenario, the Debtors will abandon the contracts receivable in favor of
Greenwich, the secured creditor. The debtor believes that deficiency balances
will derive 1c on the dollar. This assumption is based on an initial bid
received by the Debtor at the time the portfolios were to be auctioned at the
ss.363 sale held on June 24, 1998. At this sale, the defiency portfolio was
withdrawn.
The estimate shown represents gross proceeds. Expenses that would have to be
incurred to liquidate the accounts receivable are reflected in the
administrative costs associated with liquidation.
Note 3 - Inventory
The Analysis assumes that vehicle inventory on hand on September 22, 1998 would
be auctioned off by motor vehicle auction houses and would derive "floor price".
Note 4 - Security Deposits and Prepaid Expenses
Amounts representing prepayment of rent will be offset against rent expense
during the liquidation period. Nominal values have been attributed to remaining
prepaid expenses in the Analysis to the extent that they represent salable
assets.
Note 5 - Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements include office furniture and
equipment, and leasehold improvements. Values for office furniture and equipment
are based on an appraised value conducted by an appraiser, and reflect current
market conditions. The liquidation value is net of the deduction of costs
associated with the sale of these assets. It is anticipated that no value will
attach to leasehold improvements.
Note 6 - Other Assets
This consists of an estimated recovery on asset claim receivables, late and
other fee receivables, CPI receivables due from customers and a refund of a
Delaware franchise tax in the amount of $113,026.

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
NOTES TO LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Note 7 - Interest Income
Payout to creditors is anticipated to occur as quickly as possible. During the
liquidation process, proceeds will be invested at an average return of 3% per
annum.
Note 8 - Costs Associated with Liquidation - Admin./Corp. Expenses
These expenses represent the other costs associated with functions that will
remain operational throughout the liquidation process along with other Chapter 7
administrative expenses. All non-litigation functions are expected to be
completed within a one (1) month period.
Note 9 - Costs Associated with Liquidation - Trustee Fees
The Trustee's fee has been calculated in accordance with ss.326 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
Note 10 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds to Secured Creditors and
Priority Claims.
The allocation of the net liquidation proceeds has been made in accordance with
the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. The estimated allowable claims
are based on the Debtors projected liabilities as of September 22, 1998.
Note 11 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds - Conseco.
Conseco, the Debtor's majority stockholder, has asserted a secured claim for
$2,773,395, which amount has been set aside in an encumbered bank account. In a
liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and for the purposes of doing
a liquidation analysis, this amount has been treated as if secured.
Conseco also has an unsecured non-priority claim (inclusive of accrued interest)
in the amount of $20,526,605. This amount consists of a Note Payable of
$11,300,000, less the asserted secured portion of $2,773,395 for a net claim of
$8,522,605, and a Convertible Debenture in the amount of $12,000,000. In a
liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code Conseco asserts its right to
file a claim in this amount if the Debtors fail to reorganize. If the Debtors
successfully reorganize, then Conseco will subordinate its claim in favor of the
general unsecured non-priority creditors.

NAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
NOTES TO LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Note 11 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds - Conseco (continued)
In the event that it is determined that Conseco does not have a $2,773,395
secured claim, then Conseco's general unsecured claim would increase from
$20,526,605 to $23,300,000. This would have the effect of increasing the
projected distribution to general, unsecured creditors in the chapter 7 scenario
as set out in the Liquidation Analysis from 14.1 to 21.5 cents on the dollar.
Note 12 - Shortfall on Greenwich's Secured Claim
In a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors would
abandon their interest in the contracts receivable over which Greenwich has a
lien. Based on an initial bid, which was received for this portfolio, at
auction, and which portfolio was subsequently withdrawn, it appears that the
secured creditor would have a shortfall. For the purposes of this Analysis, an
allowance has been made, on the assumption that the secured creditor has filed a
claim, that this claim would be for an amount of $7,141,370.
In terms of the settlement agreement reached with the Official Committee of the
Unsecured Creditors, the unsecured creditors will be entitled to share in 25% of
the "equity/residuals" of the Greenwich Loan Portfolio after securitization, but
not before the settlement of Greenwich's senior bond and Conseco's and
Greenwich's' junior securities. The calculation of this equity/residual requires
all the Greenwich loans to be placed into a securitization model, based on
traditional hypotheses and assumptions. At this time no model exists to
calculate such equity/residual. However, it should be noted that this 25% share
which will accrue to the unsecured creditors, subject to meeting the previously
noted settlements, can only take place in a reorganization. A liquidation under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code will not allow for such equity/residual to
attach to the unsecured creditors.
Note 13 - Allocation of Net Liquidation Proceeds to Unsecured Claims.
It is assumed that the allocation of net liquidation proceeds, would be made in
accordance with the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. The Estimated
Allowable Claims are based on the Debtors' projected liabilities as of September
22, 1998. The amount of $5,175,059 is based on the Debtors' best estimate at the
time of filing its Disclosure Statement and Plan. The claims bar date has been
set for July 22, 1998, i.e. subsequent to the filing of this Plan. Therefore, it
is anticipated that this amount well may increase or decrease. The Debtors' are
aware of potential claims which may exceed an additional $1,000,000 in claims
for which no claim has yet been filed.

*CONCLUSION:
As shown above, confirmation of the plan of reorganization will result in a
greater percentage distribution to the unsecured creditors, as opposed to the
Debtor liquidating under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The above analysis
does not include the potential for equity/residuals as discussed in Note 12
herein, nor potential preference actions, and other litigation recoveries and
collection activities, currently pending or anticipated.
<PAGE>
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To NAL Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have compiled the accompanying Liquidation Analysis (the "Analysis")
for NAL Financial Group, Inc., NAL Acceptance Corp., Performance Cars of South
Florida, Inc., Autorics, Inc., NAL Insurance Services, Inc., Special Finance,
Inc., and NAL Mortgage Corporation (the "Debtors"). The Analysis presents
management's estimated net value of the Debtors assets, if the Debtors were to
be liquidated under the provisions of chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code, and the application of net proceeds of this liquidation among the Debtors
creditors. In order to confirm a plan of reorganization the Bankruptcy Court
must independently determine that the plan is in the best interest of all
classes of creditors and equity security holders impaired by the plan. The "best
interests" test requires that the Bankruptcy Court find that the plan provides
to each member of each impaired class of claims and interests a recovery which
has a value at least equal to the value of the distribution which each such
person would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. The Analysis and this report were prepared to
assist the Bankruptcy Court in making this determination. They should not be
used for any other purpose. The presentation utilized in the Analysis is not
designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
A Compilation is limited to presenting information that is the
representation of management and does not include an evaluation of the support
for the underlying assumptions. We have not audited or reviewed the Analysis
and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on
the estimates and assumptions that, although considered reasonable by
management, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies beyond the control of management. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the results shown would be realized if the Debtors were
liquidated and actual results in such a case could vary materially from those
presented. If actual results were lower than those shown, or if the assumptions
used in formulating the Analysis were not realized, distributions to each member
of each class of claims could be adversely affected. We have no responsibility
to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of
this report.
