     Certain statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form
10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The interim financial statements have been 
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 
10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules 
and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures present 
fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries for the 
periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and 
schedules included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed 
March 30, 1998.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 1997 balances 
to conform to current period presentation.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management 
utilizes assumptions and estimates that affect the reported value of finance 
income receivable and the gain on sale of automobile receivables. Such 
assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of loan prepayments, 
defaults, recovery rates and present value discount. The Company uses a 
combination of its own historical experience, industry statistics and 
expectation of future performance to determine such estimates. The Company's 
estimation process is evaluated on a regular basis and modified when deemed 
necessary. Modifications to the estimation process may result in changes in 
estimates utilized to determine the carrying value of finance income receivable.
Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates due to numerous 
factors both within and beyond the control of Company management. Changes in 
these factors could require the Company to revise its assumptions concerning 
the amount of voluntary prepayments, the frequency and/or severity of 
defaults and the recovery rates associated with the disposition of 
repossessed vehicles. The range of assumptions, as well as actual 
performance, are reflective of the risk characteristics of the loans within 
specific securitization pools.

     securitization trust exceeds the specified portfolio performance test as 
     defined within the trust agreement, the Company may, in lieu of 
     retaining excess cash from that securitization trust in the related 
     spread accounts, pledge an equivalent amount of cash, which has the 
     effect of preventing the violation of the portfolio performance test. 
     Such pledged amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents. 
     Restrictions on the pledged amounts may be lifted if the portfolio 
     performance tests are met and maintained for the related securitization 
     trusts as defined in the arrangement, the violations are waived, or the 
     loans within the securitization trust are repurchased by the Company.

6.   OTHER SECURED BORROWINGS

     In May 1998, the Company and its provider of asset-backed securities 
     insurance (FSA) entered into an arrangement whereby FSA allowed the 
     Company to receive $25 million of excess cash flows from certain spread 
     accounts sooner than it would have absent such arrangement. The 
     arrangement may be extended on an annual basis upon mutual arrangement 
     by and between the Company and FSA. The Company pays a monthly fee to 
     FSA to maintain the arrangement. The $25 million will be replenished in 
     the relevant spread accounts by means of a $3 million reduction in the 
     level of monthly cash releases from the spread accounts. The 
     replenishment period will begin in May 1999, unless the terms of the 
     arrangement are extended.

     share are shown equal to basic earnings per share.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from the 
purchase, securitization and servicing of consumer automobile loans 
originated in 45 states primarily by car dealers affiliated with major 
foreign and domestic manufacturers. Loans are purchased through 18 regional 
buying centers (or "hubs") located in 15 states, supplemented by a network of 
dealer development representatives ("DDRs") which develop and maintain 
relationships with car dealers operating within each "hub's" immediate market 
area or in surrounding market areas referred to as "spokes." Credit approval 
and loan processing are generally performed at the "hub" or at the Company's 
headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company acts as the servicer of 
all loans originated and securitized by it in return for a monthly servicing 
fee. To perform its servicing responsibilities the Company operates a 
national customer service center in Minneapolis, Minnesota and four regional 
collection centers located in Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas, Texas; 
Denver, Colorado; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES

     Included in the Company's financial results for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1998, are two non-cash charges totaling $125 million. The 
non-cash charges include a pre-tax $114.5 million charge to gain on sale of 
loans associated with a change in accounting estimates to reflect (i) a 
higher estimate of the frequency of defaulted receivables (ii) a reduction in 
assumed loan loss recovery rates, (iii) a reduction in estimated voluntary 
loan prepayments, and (iv) additions to general reserves applicable to 
unanticipated changes in the future performance of the existing portfolio of 
receivables. An additional $10.5 million pre-tax charge relates to the 
elimination of the Company's retail remarketing program and other 
organizational changes designed to improve future operating efficiencies.

     Historically, management's estimate of the frequency of loan defaults 
was based on actual credit performance incurred to date segregated by each 
securitization transaction and loan product (Premier and Classic) as well as 
comparisons to externally-generated industry information when available. In 
response to a perception of increased risk within the consumer finance 
industry and the Company's dependence on internal historical experience as an 
indicator of future credit performance, management commenced a project to 
identify what it hoped would be a more predictive alternative to estimating 
future performance of its servicing portfolio to not only improve the 
Company's assessment of its finance income receivable carrying amount but 
also to enhance the Company's pricing of its loan products. This project 
focused on identifying correlations between the credit performance of the 
loans in the Company's servicing portfolio and the credit characteristics of 
each contract at the time of origination, including externally-developed 
credit score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio and payment-to-income 
ratio. The Company's decision to obtain and utilize a credit score from a 
nationally recognized independent credit scoring company rather than 
utilizing its own internally-developed credit score was based on its desire 
to reduce the subjectivity of the analysis. As a result of this project, 
management determined that the combination of externally-developed credit 
score and loan-to-value ratio was most predictive of future loan performance. 
Using the information derived from this process, management was then able to 
segregate the loans in its servicing portfolio into eight distinct tranches 
of credit performance that management believes provide a higher level of 
precision in estimating future default experience than its previous 
methodology. As a result, management determined in June 1998 that it was 
necessary to revise its estimate with respect to the frequency of future loan 
defaults and reduce the carrying value of its finance income receivable by 
approximately $67 million.




                                       11

     In addition to the frequency of loan defaults, the valuation of the 
Company's finance income receivable is based in part on an estimate of the 
recovery upon the disposition of repossessed vehicles. Although the Company 
was reserved for and realized recovery rates slightly above 50% on the sale 
of repossessed vehicles during the first six months of 1998, management 
believes that market pressure on used car prices will force future recovery 
rates downward and therefore, believes that it is appropriate to lower the 
estimated recovery rate to 45%. This decrease to the Company's estimated 
recovery rate, taking into consideration the increase in the estimated 
frequency of defaults discussed above, led to a further reduction in the 
carrying value of finance income receivable of approximately $51 million.

         A third component in the valuation of finance income receivable is 
an estimate of the amount and timing of voluntary prepayments of loans. 
Historically, management has estimated the percentage of receivables it 
expects to prepay on a monthly basis and has assumed that such monthly 
prepayment speed would remain constant throughout the life of the 
securitization trust. A detailed analysis of the Company's actual prepayment 
data indicated, however, that for an extended period of time prepayment 
speeds have performed slower than expected and have progressively declined as 
a securitization trust ages. As a result, management determined that it was 
appropriate to reduce its prepayment speed assumption, which resulted in an 
increase to its finance income receivable carrying value of approximately $49 
million.

         Finally, to provide for current uncertainties related to the 
consumer finance industry and the remaining subjectivity of the estimates 
used in valuing the finance income receivable, management believes that it 
was appropriate to increase its finance income receivable reserves by an 
additional $45.5 million.

           Also during the second quarter of 1998, the Company decided to 
discontinue its retail remarketing operations and finalized plans aimed at 
reducing infrastructure costs and improving operating efficiencies. After a 
detailed review during the past 18 months, the Company determined that its 
retail remarketing operation which was responsible for the liquidation of 
repossessed vehicles through retail consignment lots did not provide an 
adequate risk-adjusted return commensurate with the attention necessary by 
management to operate such strategy and therefore decided to cease such 
operations. Also during this time period, the Company conducted an exhaustive 
study of substantially all Company functions and developed a plan which 
includes further consolidation of the Company's servicing and collection 
operations into its four regional collection centers and streamlining of 
other operating procedures. As a result, the Company has recognized a $10.5 
million pre-tax charge through other operating expenses associated with 
estimated severance and benefit costs, termination or subleasing of certain 
lease commitments, and legal expenses associated with the operational changes.

         Included in the Company's financial results during the three and six 
month periods ended June 30, 1997, are two special charges taken in March 
1997. These charges included a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $103 
million, due primarily to a change in accounting estimate related to the 
assumed recovery rates on repossessed vehicles and modifications to the 
Company's retail disposition strategy, and an extraordinary charge of 
approximately $15.8 million, net of tax, due to the early extinguishment of 
the Company's 13% Senior Term Notes, due 2000 (the "13% Notes").

</TABLE>

     Net interest margin declined 15% and 14% during the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1997. 
The decline in net interest margin is primarily due to a reduction in the 
average balance of loans held for sale pending securitization and an increase 
in the provision for credit losses on loans held for sale to reflect an 
increased proportion of Classic loan purchases, partially offset by wider net 
interest rate spreads earned on loans held for sale.

         A 22% and 24% decline in loan purchasing volume (see table below) 
and the timing of securitization transactions during the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, resulted in a reduction in the average 
monthly balance of loans held for sale, on which the Company earns interest 
income until such loans are securitized, to $191.4 million and $187.3 
million, respectively, down from $255.0 million and $246.0 million in the 
same periods of 1997, respectively. The decline in purchasing volume is 
primarily due to the Company's emphasis on more selective loan purchases. 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the weighted average net 
interest rate spread earned rose to 11.04% and 11.23% respectively, compared 
with 9.82% and 9.93%, respectively, during the same periods in 1997. The rise 
in net interest rate spread earned on loans held for sale is principally due 
to higher average annual percentage rates ("APRs") paid by obligors primarily 
resulting from a greater proportion of loan volume consisting of higher rate 
Classic loans.

         The Company's loan purchasing and  securitization  volume for each 
of the three and six months ended June 30 are set forth in the table below.

     GAIN ON SALE OF LOANS. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the
Company recognized a non-recurring pre-tax charge to gain on sale of loans of
$114.5 million resulting in a loss on sale of loans of $82.3 million and $51.2
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Included
in gain on sale of loans during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was a
non-recurring pre-tax charge of $98.0 million resulting in a loss on sale of
loans of $51.4 million. See "CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING
CHARGES" for discussion of these charges. Excluding these charges, gain on sale
of loans increased 22% and 36% during the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1997. The increases are
primarily due 



                                       13

to a widening of the gross interest spread earned on loans securitized (see 
table below) and a decline in the average participation rate paid to dealers 
for loan originations, partially offset by the decrease in loan 
securitization volume.

(1)  Before gains/losses on hedging transactions.

         The rise in gross interest rate spread during the three and six 
months ended June 30, 1998 is primarily due to an increased proportion of 
higher-yielding Classic loans, resulting in an increased average APR earned 
on loans purchased and subsequently securitized, and due to a reduction in 
the securitization interest rate primarily reflecting a general decline in 
market interest rates.

         Any unamortized balance of participations paid to dealers is 
expensed at the time the related loans are securitized and recorded as a 
reduction to gain on sale. Due to the increased proportion of Classic loan 
purchases, which generally require lower participation rates than Premier 
loans, participations paid as a percentage of the principal balance of loans 
purchased declined to 2.80% and 2.83% during the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1998, from 3.14% and 3.20%, respectively, in the same periods a year 
ago.

         Gain on sale of loans has been adjusted for net realized losses on 
hedging transactions of $2.6 million and $8.4 million during the three and 
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared with net realized losses of $1.6 
million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the same periods a year ago.

</TABLE>

     The Company earns contractual servicing fee income for servicing loans 
sold to investors through securitizations. The servicing fee is 1% per annum 
of the outstanding principal balance of the loans for all securitizations 
entered into prior to September 1997 and 1.25% per annum on loans included in 
and subsequent to the third quarter 1997 securitization. The growth in 
contractual servicing fee income is primarily related to an increase in the 
average servicing portfolio outstanding (see table below).

                                       14
<PAGE>

     Other servicing income consists primarily of collection fees, such as 
late payment fees and insufficient fund charges, and interest on collection 
accounts earned by the Company as servicer of the loans. The rise in other 
servicing income is principally due to increases in income from late fees and 
insufficient fund charges reflecting the increase in delinquency rates and 
growth in the Company's servicing portfolio compared to the same periods a 
year ago and increased collection account interest attributable to the growth 
in the average servicing portfolio outstanding.

     The following table reflects the growth in the Company's servicing 
portfolio from June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998:

</TABLE>

     The Company's servicing portfolio increased 13% from June 30, 1997 to 
June 30, 1998. This increase reflects loan purchases and subsequent 
securitizations, partially offset by defaults, prepayments and scheduled 
repayments. The decline in average outstanding balance of loans during the 
first six months of 1998 reflects an increase in the proportion of used to 
new cars financed by the Company and a reduction in loan-to-value ratios on 
loan purchases during the past 18 months.

     The Company's servicing fee approximates adequate compensation as 
defined by SFAS 125 and therefore, the Company has not recorded a servicing 
asset or liability at June 30, 1998.

     OPERATING EXPENSES. During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, 
salaries and benefits increased 4% and 12%, respectively, from the same 
periods a year ago. Beginning in the first quarter of 1998, the Company began 
to move collection personnel out of buying centers into centralized sites to 
better leverage collections resources and technology and to control 
collection processes more tightly. While this organizational change has 
resulted in a reduction in the number of collection personnel, primarily due 
to anticipated improvements in efficiencies and a temporary delay in the 
staffing of the new centralized sites, it has also had the effect of 
increasing salaries and benefits during the second quarter and first six 
months of 1998 over the same periods in 1997 due to severance expenses 
associated with the change.

     Other operating costs, including administrative, occupancy, depreciation 
and amortization, origination, servicing and collection expenses, increased 
63% and 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, 
compared with the same periods in 1997. Included in operating costs during 
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 is a pre-tax charge of 
approximately $10.5 million. This charge is related to the elimination of the 
Company's retail remarketing program and other organizational changes 
designed to improve operating efficiency. (See "CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING 
ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES"). Included in operating costs during the 
first six months of 1997 was a pre-tax charge of approximately $5.0 million 
primarily related to legal costs and severance expenses for certain former 
executives of the Company. Excluding these charges, other operating costs 
increased 19% and 27% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, 
respectively, compared with the same periods in 1997. The increase in other 
operating costs is primarily a result of the higher percentage of Classic 
program loans in the portfolio, since these loans generally require greater 
collection efforts and related costs (including increased telephone, fax, 
postage and repossession expenses) than Premier program loans.

     IMPACT OF YEAR 2000. The Company recognizes that the arrival of the Year 
2000 poses a unique worldwide challenge to the ability of all computer 
systems to recognize the date change from December 31, 1999 to January 1,

                                       15
<PAGE>

2000 and, like other companies, is assessing, enhancing and updating its 
computer applications and business processes to provide for their continued 
functionality after said date. In connection with its initiative to replace 
and enhance key operating systems, the Company has engaged outside 
consultants to assist in the design and implementation of various systems 
that will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates that the testing 
and implementation of such systems will be completed by mid-1999, which is 
prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The Company 
believes that with conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not 
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if 
such conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely manner, the 
Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

     The costs associated with the Year 2000 project will be primarily for 
the purchase of the new software being developed to replace and enhance the 
Company's current operating systems. Consistent with its capitalization 
policy, the costs of the Company's new operating software will be capitalized 
and amortized over its expected useful life. As such, the Company believes 
that the impact of the Year 2000 issue will not have a material effect on the 
Company's results of operations.

     LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER INTEREST EXPENSE. Long-term debt and other 
interest expense increased 21% and 41% for the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The 
increases are primarily due to the issuance of $300.0 million and $75.0 
million of 11.5% Senior Notes ("the Senior Notes") in March 1997 and October 
1997, respectively, partially offset by the concurrent extinguishment of 
$145.0 million of the 13% Notes in March 1997.

     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. In March 1997, the Company issued $300.0 million of 
its Senior Notes and utilized approximately $173.5 million of the proceeds to 
repurchase and covenant defease the Company's $145.0 million of 13% Notes, 
including accrued interest of $7.9 million and a premium of approximately 
$20.3 million. These charges and additional professional fees incurred to 
retire such debt were treated as an extraordinary item, net of tax.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

     FINANCE INCOME RECEIVABLE. Finance income receivable decreased to $326.9 
million at June 30, 1998 from $372.0 million at December 31, 1997. This 12% 
decrease reflects a non-recurring $114.5 million pre-tax charge during the 
second quarter (see "CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING 
CHARGES") partially offset by amounts capitalized upon completion of the 
Company's first and second quarter securitizations related to the present 
value of estimated cash flows.

     RESTRICTED CASH IN SPREAD ACCOUNTS. Restricted cash in spread accounts 
increased to $266.7 million at June 30, 1998 from $250.3 million at December 
31, 1997. This increase reflects the Company's continued securitization of 
loan purchases and the related accumulation of excess cash flows in 
restricted cash accounts to reach levels defined within each securitization 
agreement, partially offset by the release of excess cash flows to the 
Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcadia Receivables Finance Corp.

     DEFERRED INCOME TAX. There were no deferred income taxes at June 30, 
1998 compared with a net deferred tax liability of $18.8 million at December 
31, 1997. This decrease reflects the recognition of a portion of the tax 
benefit from the current quarter loss from operations. In accordance with 
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company established a 
valuation allowance during the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The valuation 
allowance was established to offset the deferred tax asset associated with 
the Company's net operating loss carryforward resulting in no net deferred 
income taxes at June 30, 1998.

     ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES. Accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities increased 50% to $39.4 million at June 30, 1998 as compared with 
$26.3 million at December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to 
accruals recorded during the second quarter of 1998 related to the 
elimination of the Company's retail remarketing program and other 
organizational changes designed to improve operating efficiency (see "CHANGES 
IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES").

(1)  All amounts and percentages are based on the principal amount scheduled to

     loans which the Company continues to service.

(2)  Gross charge-offs represent principal amounts which management estimated to
     be uncollectable after the consideration of anticipated proceeds from the
     disposition of repossessed assets and selling expenses.

(3)  Includes post-disposition amounts received on previously charged off loans.

     The increase in delinquency rate at June 30, 1998, compared with 
December 31, 1997, reflects the continued rise in the proportion of Classic 
loans in the Company's servicing portfolio, which approximated 50% of loans 
serviced at June 30, 1998, compared with 43% at December 31, 1997. 
Repossessed inventory has decreased since December 31, 1997, primarily due to 
the Company's decision to increase its use of wholesale disposition channels 
to liquidate repossessed vehicles. During the first six months of 1998 the 
Company sold approximately 74% of its repossessed inventory through wholesale 
channels compared with 45% in the same period a year ago.

     Annualized gross charge-offs and net losses during the three and six 
month periods ended June 30, 1998, include a charge of 1.72% and 0.86%, 
respectively, representing the impact of a write-down of current inventory 
resulting from a revision to the estimate of net realizable value (see 
"CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES") and the 
write-off of all remaining problem loans from one of the Company's original 
consignment dealers which it has since ceased doing business. The remaining 
increase in gross charge-offs and net losses during the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same periods a year ago primarily 
reflects the continued rise in the proportion of Classic loans in the 
Company's servicing portfolio and the increase in the utilization of 
wholesale disposition channels. As previously discussed, the Company 
announced that it is planning to discontinue the sale of repossessed vehicles 
through retail disposition channels and anticipates that it will be 
completely out of these operations by the end of 1998 (see "CHANGES IN 
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES"). The Company believes that 
its decision to discontinue its retail remarketing operations will enable it 
to better manage its level of repossessed inventory and improve the timing of 
excess cash flows released to the Company from securitization trusts as a 
result of an increase in the speed at which repossessed vehicles can be 
liquidated.

LIQUIDITY

     The Company's business requires substantial cash to support its 
operating activities. The principal cash requirements include (i) amounts 
necessary to purchase and finance automobile loans pending securitization, 
(ii) payment of dealer participations, (iii) cash held from time to time in 
restricted spread accounts to support securitizations and warehouse 
facilities and other securitization expenses, (iv) interest advances to 
securitization trusts, (v) repossessed inventory, and (vi) interest expense. 
The Company also uses significant amounts of cash for operating expenses. The 
Company receives cash principally from interest on loans held pending 
securitization, from excess cash flow received from securitization trusts and 
from fees earned through servicing of loans held by such trusts. The Company 
has operated on a negative operating cash flow basis and expects to continue 
to do so in the near future. The Company has historically funded these 
negative operating cash flows principally through borrowings from financial 
institutions, sales of equity securities and sales of senior and subordinated 
notes. The Company may require additional capital in the future to fund 
continued negative cash flows, although there can be no assurance that the 
Company will have access to capital markets in the future or that financing 
will be available to satisfy the Company's operating and debt service 
requirements or to fund its future growth. See "Capital Resources."

     PRINCIPAL USES OF CASH IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES

     PURCHASE AND FINANCING OF AUTOMOBILE LOANS. Automobile loan purchases 
represent the Company's most significant cash flow requirement. The Company 
funds the purchase price of loans primarily through the use of warehouse 
facilities. However, because advance rates under the warehouse facilities 
generally provide funds from 93% to 97% of the principal balance of the 
loans, the Company is required to fund the remainder of all purchases prior 
to securitization with other available cash resources. The Company purchased 
$1.2 billion of loans during the first six months of 1998 compared to $1.5 
billion during the same period in 1997.

     DEALER PARTICIPATIONS. Consistent with industry practice, the Company 
pays dealers participations for selling loans to the Company. These 
participations typically require the Company to advance an up-front amount to 
dealers. Participations paid by the Company to dealers during the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 were $32.7 million, or approximately 2.83% of the 
principal balance of loans purchased, compared with $48.7 million, or 
approximately 3.20% of loans purchased, during the same period in 1997. The 
decrease in dealer participations as an aggregate amount and as a percentage 
of loans purchased reflects the growth in volume in Classic loans, which are 
generally associated with lower dealer participations.

     SECURITIZATION OF AUTOMOBILE LOANS. In connection with securitizations, 
the Company is required to fund spread accounts related to each transaction. 
The Company funds these spread accounts by foregoing receipt of excess cash 
flow until these spread accounts exceed predetermined levels. In addition, 
for certain securitizations prior to the third quarter of 1997, the Company 
has been required to provide initial cash deposits into the spread accounts. 
The Company had $266.7 million of restricted cash in spread accounts at June 
30, 1998, compared with $250.3 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in 
restricted cash in spread accounts reflects the Company's continued 
securitization of loan purchases and the related accumulation of excess cash 
flows to levels defined within each securitization agreement, partially 
offset by the release of excess cash flows.

     The Company also incurs certain expenses in connection with 
securitizations, including underwriting fees, credit enhancement fees, 
trustee fees and other costs, which approximate 0.5% of the principal amount 
of the asset-backed securities sold in the securitizations.

     ADVANCES DUE TO SERVICER. As the servicer of loans sold in 
securitizations, the Company periodically makes interest advances to the 
securitization trusts to provide for temporary delays in the receipt of 
required interest payments from borrowers. In accordance with the relevant 
servicing agreements, the Company makes advances only in the event it expects 
to recover such advances through payments from the obligor

                                       19

<PAGE>

over the life of the loan.

     REPOSSESSED INVENTORY. At June 30, 1998, repossessed inventory managed 
or owned by the Company and held for resale was $28.9 million, compared with 
$55.3 million at December 31, 1997. The rate of repossessed inventory 
turnover impacts cash available for spread accounts under securitization 
trusts and, consequently, the excess cash available for distribution to the 
Company. At June 30, 1998, repossessed inventory was 0.6% of the total 
servicing portfolio compared with 1.1% at December 31, 1997. In June 1998, 
the Company decided to discontinue liquidating its repossession inventory 
through retail disposition channels and begin disposing of its repossessed 
vehicles exclusively through wholesale auctions (see "CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING 
ESTIMATES AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES"). Any improvement in excess cash flows 
due to an increase in the inventory turnover rate may be partially reduced by 
lower recoveries realized through the exclusive use of wholesale auctions and 
generally lower wholesale used car prices.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Although the Company records net interest margin as 
earned, a significant portion of the interest income component is generally 
received in cash from excess cash flow, while the interest expense component 
(primarily warehousing interest) is paid prior to securitization. The Company 
also incurs interest expense related to both short-term and long-term debt 
obligations.

     PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF CASH IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES

     EXCESS CASH FLOW. The Company receives excess cash flow from 
securitization trusts, including the realization of gain on sale, the 
recovery of dealer participations, and the recovery of accrued interest 
receivable earned, but not yet collected, on loans held for sale prior to 
securitization. Recovery of dealer participations and accrued interest 
receivable, which occur throughout the life of the securitization, result in 
a reduction of the finance income receivable but, because they have been 
considered in the original determination of the gain on sale of loans, have 
no effect on the Company's results of operations in the year in which the 
participations and interest are recovered from the securitization trust. 
During the first six months of 1998, the Company received $59.6 million of 
excess cash flow, compared with $33.7 million during the same six months in 
1997. Included in the 1998 cash released from spread accounts is $7.0 million 
of cash which is restricted pursuant to an arrangement between the Company 
and its asset-backed securities insurance provider.

     SERVICING FEES. The Company receives servicing fees for servicing 
securitized loans included in various securitization trusts. The servicing 
fee for loans in securitization trusts is equal to one percent per annum of 
the outstanding principal balance of the loans for all securitizations 
entered into prior to September 1997 and 1.25 percent per annum on loans 
subsequently securitized. The Company also receives collection fees, such as 
late payment fees and insufficient fund charges, and interest on collection 
accounts earned by the Company as servicer of the loans. During the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company received cash for such 
servicing in the amount of $39.2 million and $27.5 million, respectively. 
Servicing fee income is reflected in the Company's revenues as earned.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company finances the acquisition of automobile loans primarily 
through (i) warehouse facilities, pursuant to which loans are sold or 
financed generally on a temporary basis, and (ii) the securitization of 
loans, pursuant to which loans are sold as asset-backed securities. 
Additional financing is required to fund the Company's operations.

     WAREHOUSE FACILITIES. Automobile loans held for sale are funded 
primarily through warehouse facilities. At June 30, 1998, the Company had 
three warehouse facilities in place with various financial institutions and 
institutional lenders with an aggregate capacity of $875.0 million, of which 
$821.0 million was available. Based on anticipated loan purchasing volume 
during the next few quarters, the Company decided to terminate one of its 
warehouse facilities with a capacity of $175.0 million in July 1998, and 
eliminate the related commitment fees. The remaining facilities expire in 
October 1998 and July 1999, subject to renewal 

                                       20

or extension at the lenders' option. Proceeds from securitizations, generally 
received within seven to ten days following the cut-off date established for 
the securitization transaction, are applied to repay amounts outstanding 
under warehouse facilities.

     SECURITIZATION PROGRAM. An important capital resource for the Company 
has been its ability to sell automobile loans in the secondary markets 
through securitizations. The following table summarizes the Company's 
securitization transactions for the six months ended June 30, 1998, all of 
which were publicly issued and rated "AAA/Aaa".

(1)  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had delivered $536.6 million of automobile
     loans and $13.4 million of cash remained in the pre-funded portion of the
     trust.

     HEDGING STRATEGY

     The Company enters into hedging transactions to manage its gross 
interest rate spread on loans held for sale. The Company sells forward US 
Treasuries that most closely parallel the average life of its portfolio of 
loans held for sale. Hedging gains and losses are recognized as a component 
of the gain on sale of loans on the date such loans are sold. To the extent 
hedging gains or losses are significant, the resulting up-front cash payments 
or receipts may impact the Company's liquidity. The Company receives the 
up-front gains or losses back over time through a lower or higher spread, 
respectively, at the time of securitization. During the first six months of 
1998, the Company had net realized losses on hedging transactions of $8.4 
million. The Company had unrealized losses on hedge contracts of $1.0 million 
that remain outstanding at June 30, 1998.

     OTHER CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, the Company has utilized various debt and equity 
financings to offset negative operating cash flows and support its 
operations. No such offerings were completed by the Company during the first 
six months of 1998.

     In May 1998, the Company and its provider of asset-backed securities 
insurance (FSA) entered into an arrangement whereby FSA allowed the Company 
to receive $25 million of excess cash flows from certain spread accounts 
sooner than it would have absent such arrangement. The arrangement may be 
extended on an annual basis upon mutual arrangement by and between the 
Company and FSA. The Company pays a monthly fee to FSA to maintain the 
arrangement. The $25 million will be replenished in relevant spread accounts 
by means of a $3 million reduction in the level of monthly cash releases from 
the spread accounts. The replenishment period will begin in May 1999, unless 
the terms of the arrangement are extended.

by law.  The Corporation may have such other offices, within or without the 
State of Minnesota, as the Board of Directors shall, from time to time, 
determine.

     Section 1.2    CORPORATE SEAL.  If so directed by the Board of Directors 
by resolution, the Corporation may use a corporate seal.  The failure to use 
such seal, however, shall not affect the validity of any documents executed

but it may also include, at the discretion of the Board, such additional 
wording as is permitted by law.

     Section 1.3    ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.  In the event of any conflict 
or inconsistency between these Bylaws, or any amendment thereto, and the

                              MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     Section 2.1    TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS.  Regular or special meetings 
of the shareholders, if any, shall be held on the date and at the time and 
place fixed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board, or the 
Board, except that a regular or special meeting called by, or at the demand 
of a shareholder or shareholders, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 
302A.431, Subd. 2, shall be held in the county where the principal executive 
office is located.

     Section 2.2    REGULAR MEETINGS.  At any regular meeting of the 
shareholders, there shall be an election of qualified successors for 
directors who serve for an indefinite term or whose terms have expired or are 
due to expire within six months after the date of the meeting.  Any business 
appropriate for action by the shareholders may be transacted at a regular 
meeting.  No meeting shall be considered a regular meeting unless 
specifically designated as such in the notice of meeting or unless all the 
shareholders are present in person or by proxy and none of them objects to 
such designation. Regular meetings may be held no more frequently than once 
per year.

                                                                Page 1 of 1

     Section 2.3    DEMAND BY SHAREHOLDERS.  Regular or special meetings may 
be demanded by a shareholder or shareholders, pursuant to the provisions of 
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 302A.431, Subd. 2, and 302A.433, Subd. 2, 
respectively.  If a regular meeting of shareholders has not been held during 
the immediately preceding fifteen (15) months, a shareholder or shareholders 
holding three (3) percent or more of the voting power of all shares entitled 
to vote may demand a regular meeting of shareholders by written notice of 
demand given to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of 
the Corporation. A shareholder or shareholders holding ten (10) percent or 
more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote may demand a special 
meeting of shareholders by written notice of demand given to the Chief 
Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and 
containing the purposes of the meeting except that a special meeting for the 
purpose of considering any action to directly or indirectly facilitate or 
effect a business combination, including any action to change or otherwise 
affect the composition of the Board of Directors for that purpose, must be 
called by twenty-five (25) percent or more of the voting power of all shares 
entitled to vote.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the demand by one 
of those officers, the Board shall cause a special meeting of shareholders to 
be called and held on notice no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of 
the demand, all at the expense of the Corporation.  If the Board fails to 
cause a special meeting to be called and held as required by this 
subdivision, the shareholder or shareholders making the demand may call the 
meeting by giving notice as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.435, 
all at the expense of the Corporation.  The business transacted at a special 
meeting is limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.  Any 
business transacted at a special meeting that is not included in those stated 
purposes is voidable by or on behalf of the Corporation, unless all of the 
shareholders have waived notice of the meeting in accordance with Minnesota 
Statutes, Section 302A.435.

     Section 2.4    QUORUM; ADJOURNED MEETINGS.  The holders of a majority of 
the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting constitute a 
quorum for the transaction of business; said holders may be present at the 
meeting either in person or by proxy.  If a quorum is present when a duly 
called or held meeting is convened, the shareholders present may continue to 
transact business until adjournment, even though withdrawal of shareholders 
originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise 
required for a quorum.  If the adjourned meeting is to be held not more than 
120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, a meeting may be 
adjourned from time to time without notice, other than announcement at the 
meeting of the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting.  At adjourned 
meetings at which a quorum is present in person or by proxy, any business 
which could have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed may be 
transacted .

     Section 2.5    VOTING.  At each meeting of the shareholders, every 
shareholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote either in 
person or by proxy.  Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of 
Incorporation or a resolution of the Board of Directors filed with the 
Secretary of State, each shareholder shall have one vote for each share held. 
Upon demand of any shareholder, the vote upon any question before the meeting 
shall be by ballot.

     Section 2.6    NOTICE OF MEETINGS.  Notice of all meetings of 
shareholders shall be given to every holder of voting shares, except where 
the meeting is an adjourned meeting to be held not more than 120 days after 
the date fixed for the original meeting and the date, time and place of the 
adjourned meeting were announced at the time of adjournment.  Notice of 
regular meetings of shareholders shall be given at least ten (10), but not 
more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.  Notice of special 
meetings of shareholders may be given upon not less than ten (10) nor more

agreement of merger or exchange is to be considered shall be given to all 
shareholders, whether entitled to vote or not, at least fourteen (14) days 
prior thereto.  Every notice of any special meeting shall state the purpose 
or purposes for which the meeting has been called, and the business 
transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the purpose stated in 
the call, unless all of the shareholders are present in person or by proxy 
and none of them objects to consideration of a particular item of business.

     Section 2.7    WAIVER OF NOTICE.  A shareholder may waive notice of any 
meeting of shareholders.  A waiver of notice by a shareholder entitled to 
notice is effective whether given before, at or after the meeting and whether 
given in writing, orally or by attendance.

consent or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a Board meeting.  If 
the director is not present at the meeting, consent or opposition to a 
proposal does not constitute presence for purposes of determining the 
existence of a quorum, but consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote

sufficient indemnity bond, in form, in an amount, and with one or more 
sureties satisfactory to the Board of Directors, to indemnify the Corporation

such certificate.  A new certificate shall then be issued to said shareholder

or stolen.

Trust represents, warrants and covenants, as of the date hereof and as of the

permits, charters, registrations and approvals (together, "approvals") 
necessary for the conduct of its business as described in the Prospectus and 
the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, in each 
jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified or to obtain such 
approvals would render the Receivables in such jurisdiction or any 
Transaction Document unenforceable in any respect or would otherwise have a 
material adverse effect upon the Transaction.

         (b)  POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Trust has all necessary trust power and
authority to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus, to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document to which the Trust is a

and authority to issue the Notes and pledge and assign its assets pursuant to 
the Indenture and has duly authorized the issuance of the Notes and the 
assignment of its assets by all necessary trust proceedings.

         (c)  DUE AUTHORIZATION.  The execution, delivery and performance of 
this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Trust is a 
party has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the 
Trust and does not require any additional approvals or consents or other 
action by or any notice to or filing with any Person by or on behalf of the 
Trust, including, without limitation, any governmental entity.

         (d)  NONCONTRAVENTION.  Neither the execution and delivery of this 
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Trust is a party, 
the consummation of the Transaction nor the satisfaction of the terms and 
conditions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the 
Trust is a party,

         (i)  conflicts with or results in any breach or violation of any
     provision of the Certificate of Trust or the Trust Agreement or any law,
     rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination
     or award currently in effect having applicability to the Trust or any of
     its properties, including regulations issued by an administrative agency
     or other governmental authority having supervisory powers over the Trust,

        (ii)  constitutes a default by the Trust under or a breach of any
     provision of any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement or
     instrument to which the Trust is a party or by which it or any of its
     properties is or may be bound or affected, or

       (iii)  results in or requires the creation of any Lien upon or in 
     respect of any of the Trust's assets except as otherwise expressly
     contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

         (e)  PENDING LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.  There is no action, 
proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the Trust's best knowledge, 
threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, 
arbitrator or governmental agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction over 
the Trust or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement 
or any other Transaction Document to which the Trust is a party, (B) seeking 
to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of the Transaction, 
(C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely 
affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other 
Transaction Document to which the Trust is a party, (D) which might result in 
a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Trust or (E) which might 
adversely affect the federal or state tax attributes of the Notes or the 
Trust.

         (f)  VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  Each of the Transaction Documents
to which the Trust is a party, when executed and delivered by the Trust, and
assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto,
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws

Notes, when executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the 
Indenture, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will 
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable in

from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body,

consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other 
non-governmental person, is required in connection with the execution,

Transaction Document to which the Trust is a party, except (in each case) 
such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

         (h)  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.  No practice, procedure or policy 
employed or proposed to be employed by the Trust in the conduct of its

Adverse Change with respect to the Trust.

Transfer Date, the Trust will have good and marketable title to each item of 
Other Trust Property conveyed on such date and will own each such item free 
and clear of any Lien (other than Liens contemplated under the Indenture) or 
any equity or participation interest of any other Person.

         (k)  PERFECTION OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTEREST.  On the Closing 
Date, the Lien and security interest in favor of the Indenture Collateral 
Agent with respect to Indenture Property will be perfected by the filing of 
financing statements on Form UCC-1 in each jurisdiction where such recording 
or filing is necessary for the perfection thereof, the delivery of the 
Receivable Files for the Receivables to the Custodian, and the establishment 
of the Collection Account, the Subcollection Account, the Lockbox Account, 
the Pre-Funding Account, the Reserve Account and the Note Distribution 
Account in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and 
no other filings in any jurisdiction or any other actions (except as 
expressly provided herein) are necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent's 
Lien on and security interest in the Collateral as against any third parties.

         (l)  SECURITY INTEREST IN FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS.  Assuming the 
retention of funds in the Accounts and the acquisition of Eligible 
Investments in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such funds and 
Eligible Investments will be subject to a valid and perfected, first priority 
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture 
Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) and Financial Security.

         (m)  COMPLIANCE WITH INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.  The Trust is not

     through its duly authorized officers or agents so as not to mislead 
     others as to the identity of the entity with which those others are 
     concerned, and particularly will use its best efforts to avoid the 
     appearance of conducting business on behalf of Arcadia Financial, the 
     Seller, or any other Affiliates thereof or that the assets of the Trust 
     are available to pay the creditors of Arcadia Financial, the Seller, or 
     any other Affiliates thereof. Without limiting the generality of the 
     foregoing, all oral and written communications, including, without 
     limitation, letters, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, statements 
     and loan applications, will be made solely in the name of the Trust.

        (ii)  The Trust shall maintain trust records and books of account 
     separate from those of Arcadia Financial, the Seller and Affiliates of any
     of them.

       (iii)  The Trust shall obtain proper authorization from its equity 
     owners of all trust action requiring such authorization, and copies of 
     each such authorization and the minutes or other written summary of each 
     such meeting shall be delivered to Financial Security within two weeks 
     of such authorization or meeting as the case may be.

        (iv)  Although the organizational expenses of the Trust have been 
     paid by Arcadia Financial, operating expenses and liabilities of the 
     Trust shall be paid from its own funds.

         (v)  The annual financial statements of the Trust shall disclose the 
     effects of the Trust's transactions in accordance with generally 
     accepted accounting principles and shall disclose that the assets of the 
     Trust are not available to pay creditors of Arcadia Financial, the 
     Seller or any Affiliate of any of them.

        (vi)  The resolutions, agreements and other instruments of the Trust 
     underlying the transactions described in this Agreement and in the other 
     Transaction Documents shall be continuously maintained by the Trust as 
     official records of the Trust separately identified and held apart from 
     the records of Arcadia Financial, the Seller and each Affiliate of any 
     of them.

       (vii)  The Trust shall maintain an arm's-length relationship with 
     Arcadia Financial, the Seller and each Affiliate of any of them and will 
     not hold itself out as being liable for the debts of any such Person.

      (viii)  The Trust shall keep its assets and its liabilities wholly 
     separate from those of all other entities, including, but not limited

Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Series 1998-B Supplement, the Indenture, 
the Administration Agreement and each Transaction Document to which Financial 
Security is a party to be provided to Financial Security on the Closing Date.

         (l)  TAX MATTERS.  The Trust will take all actions necessary to 
ensure that, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Trust is not 
taxable as an association (or publicly traded partnership) or taxable as a

         (m)  SECURITIES LAWS.  The Trust shall comply in all material 
respects with all applicable provisions of state and federal securities laws, 
including blue sky laws and the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the 
Investment Company Act and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder 
for which non-compliance would result in a Material Adverse Change with 
respect to the Trust.

         (n)  INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS.  The Trust agrees to comply with 
each of the covenants of the Trust set forth in the Transaction Documents and 
hereby incorporates such covenants by reference as if each were set forth

         Section 2.04   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ARCADIA FINANCIAL 
AND THE SELLER.  Each of Arcadia Financial and the Seller represent and 
warrant as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

         (a)  DUE ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION.  The Seller is a 
corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under 
the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its 
properties and to conduct its business.  The Seller is duly qualified to do 
business, is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses, 
permits, charters, registrations and approvals (together, "approvals") 
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and as 
described in the Prospectus and the performance of its obligations under the 
Transaction Documents, in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so 
qualified or to obtain such approvals would render the Receivables in such 
jurisdiction or any Transaction Document unenforceable in any respect or 
would otherwise have a material adverse effect upon the Transaction.

         (b)  POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Seller has all necessary corporate 
power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted and as 
described in the Prospectus, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations 
under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Seller 
is a party and to carry out the terms of each such agreement, and has full 
power and authority to sell and assign the Receivables and the Other Trust 
Property to the Trust and has duly authorized such sale and assignment to the 
Trust by all necessary corporate action.

         (c)  DUE AUTHORIZATION.  The execution, delivery and performance of 
this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a 
party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part 
of the Seller and does not require any additional approvals or consents or 
other action by or any notice to or filing with any Person by or on behalf of 
the Seller, including, without limitation, any governmental entity or the 
Seller's stockholder.

         (d)  NONCONTRAVENTION.  None of the execution and delivery of this 
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party, 
the consummation of the Transaction or the satisfaction of the terms and 
conditions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the 
Seller is a party,

         (i)    conflicts with or results in any breach or violation of any 
     provision of the charter or bylaws of the Seller or any law, rule, 
     regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or 
     award currently in effect having applicability to the Seller or any of 
     its properties, including regulations issued by an administrative agency 
     or other governmental authority having supervisory powers over the 
     Seller,

         (ii)   constitutes a default by the Seller under or a breach of any 
     provision of any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement 
     or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or any of 
     its properties is or may be bound or affected, or


                                       17
<PAGE>

         (iii)  results in or requires the creation of any Lien upon or in 
     respect of any of the Seller's assets except as otherwise expressly 
     contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

         (e)  PENDING LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.  There is no action, 
proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the Seller's or Arcadia 
Financial's best knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, 
administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental agency or instrumentality 
having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties: (A) asserting the 
invalidity of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the 
Seller is a party, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the 
consummation of the Transaction, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that 
might materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this 
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party, 
(D) which might result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to the 
Seller or (E) which might adversely affect the federal or state tax 
attributes of the Notes or the Trust.

         (f)  VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  Each of the Transaction 
Documents to which the Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by the 
Seller, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other 
parties thereto, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of 
the Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such 
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, 
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and 
general equitable principles. The Notes, when executed, authenticated and 
delivered in accordance with the Indenture, will be entitled to the benefits 
of the Indenture and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of 
the Trust, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

         (g)  NO CONSENTS.  No consent, license, approval or authorization 
from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, 
administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality, nor any 
consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other 
non-governmental person, is required in connection with the execution, 
delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement or of any other 
Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party, except (in each case) 
such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

         (h)  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.  No practice, procedure or policy 
employed or proposed to be employed by the Seller in the conduct of its 
business violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, order or decree 
applicable to the Seller which, if enforced, would result in a Material 
Adverse Change with respect to the Seller.

         (i)  GOOD TITLE; VALID TRANSFER; ABSENCE OF LIENS; SECURITY 
INTEREST. Immediately prior to the sale of the Initial Receivables and 
related Other Trust Property to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing 
Agreement, the Seller was the owner of, and had good and marketable title to, 
such property free and clear of all Liens and Restrictions on 
Transferability, and had full right, corporate power and lawful authority to 
assign, transfer and pledge the Initial Receivables and the related Other 
Trust Property.  The Sale and Servicing Agreement constitutes a valid sale, 
transfer and assignment of the Other Trust Property to the Trust enforceable 
against creditors of


                                       18
<PAGE>

and purchasers of the Seller.  In the event that, in contravention of the 
intention of the parties, the transfer of the Other Trust Property by the 
Seller to the Trust is characterized as other than a sale, such transfer 
shall be characterized as a secured financing, and the Trust shall have a 
valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Other Trust 
Property free and clear of all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability.

         (j)  ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.  Neither the Transaction Documents nor 
any documents, agreements, instruments, schedules, certificates, statements, 
cash flow schedules, number runs or other writings or data (collectively, the 
"Documents") furnished to Financial Security by the Seller or Arcadia 
Financial with respect to either of them, their Subsidiaries, the Receivables 
or the Transaction contain any statement of a material fact which was untrue 
or misleading in any material respect when made (except insofar as any 
Document was corrected or superseded by a subsequent Document and Financial 
Security has not detrimentally relied on the original Document). There is no 
fact known to the Seller or Arcadia Financial which has a material 
possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Seller 
or Arcadia Financial, or which has a material possibility of impairing the 
value or marketability of the Receivables, taken as a whole, or decreasing 
the probability that amounts due in respect of the Receivables will be 
collected as due.  Since the furnishing of the Transaction Documents, there 
has been no change or any development or event involving a prospective change 
known to the Seller or Arcadia Financial which would render any 
representation or warranty or other statement made by either of them in any 
of the Transaction Documents untrue or misleading in a material respect.

         (k)  COMPLIANCE WITH INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.  The Seller is not 
required to be registered as an "investment company" under the Investment 
Company Act.

         (l)  INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The 
representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in the Transaction 
Documents are (in each case) true and correct as if set forth herein.

         (m)  SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.

         (i)    The capital of the Seller is adequate for the business and 
     undertakings of the Seller.

         (ii)   Other than with respect to the ownership by Arcadia Financial 
     of the stock of the Seller and as provided in the Previous Series 
     Transaction Documents, the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing 
     Agreement, and the Spread Account Agreement, the Seller is not engaged 
     in any business transactions with Arcadia Financial or any Affiliate of 
     Arcadia Financial.

         (iii)  At least one director of the Seller shall be a person who is 
     not, and will not be, a director, officer, employee or holder of any 
     equity securities of Arcadia Financial or any of its Affiliates or 
     Subsidiaries.


                                       19
<PAGE>

         (iv)   The Seller's funds and assets are not, and will not be, 
     commingled with the funds of any other Person, except as provided in the 
     Transaction Documents.

         (v)    The by-laws of the Seller require it to maintain (A) correct 
     and complete minute books and records of account, and (B) minutes of the 
     meetings and other proceedings of its shareholders and board of 
     directors.

         (n)  SOLVENCY; FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE.  The Seller is solvent and 
will not be rendered insolvent by the Transaction and, after giving effect to 
such Transaction, the Seller will not be left with an unreasonably small 
amount of capital with which to engage in its business.  The Seller does not 
intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to 
pay such debts as they mature.  The Seller does not contemplate the 
commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation 
proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, 
trustee or similar official in respect of the Seller or any of its assets.  
The amount of consideration being received by the Seller upon the sale of the 
Initial Receivables and related Other Trust Property and contemplated to be 
received upon the Sale of the Subsequent Receivables and related Other Trust 
Property constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for 
interest in such Receivables and such Other Trust Property.  The Seller is 
not transferring the Other Trust Property to the Trust, as provided in the 
Transaction Documents, with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the 
Seller's creditors.

         (o)  REGISTRATION STATEMENT; PROSPECTUS.  The Seller has filed with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration 
statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-48141), including a preliminary prospectus and 
prospectus supplement for the registration of the Notes under the Securities 
Act, has filed such amendments thereto, and such amended preliminary 
prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may have been required to the date 
hereof, and will file such additional amendments thereto and such amended 
prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may hereafter be required. Such 
registration statement (as amended, if applicable) and the prospectus, 
together with the prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, constituting a 
part thereof (including in each case all documents, if any, incorporated by 
reference therein and the information, if any, deemed to be part thereof 
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities 
Act (the "Rules and Regulations"), as from time to time amended or 
supplemented pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise) are hereinafter 
referred to as the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus," 
respectively, except that if any revised prospectus or prospectus supplement 
shall be provided by the Seller for use in connection with the offering of 
the Notes which differs from the Prospectus filed with the Commission 
pursuant to Rule 424 of the Rules and Regulations (whether or not such 
revised prospectus is required to be filed by the Seller pursuant to Rule 424 
of the Rules and Regulations), the term "Prospectus" shall refer to such 
revised prospectus and prospectus supplement from and after the time it is 
first provided to the Underwriters for such use. The Registration Statement 
at the time they became effective complied, and at each time that the 
Prospectus is provided to the Underwriters for use in connection with the 
offering or sale of any Note will comply, in all material respects with the 
requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.  The 
Registration Statement and the Prospectus at the time the Registration 
Statement became effective did not and on the date hereof does not, contain 
an


                                       20
<PAGE>

untrue staement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required 
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not 
misleading and the Prospectus at the time it was first provided to the 
Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Notes did not, 
and on the date hereof does not, contain any untrue statement of a material 
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements 
therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not 
misleading, except that the representations and warranties in this 
subparagraph shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the 
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus made 
in reliance upon information furnished to the Seller in writing by Financial 
Security expressly for use therein or the financial statements (including the 
related notes thereto) of Financial Security.

         (p)  ERISA.  The Seller is in compliance with ERISA and has not 
incurred and does not reasonably expect to incur any liabilities to the PBGC 
under ERISA in connection with any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or to 
contribute now or in the future in respect of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

         (q)  PLEDGE OF SHARES.  The shares of stock of the Seller which have 
been pledged pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement constitute all of the 
issued and outstanding shares of the Seller.

         (r)  PERFECTION OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTEREST.  On the Closing 
Date, the Lien and security interest in favor of the Indenture Collateral 
Agent with respect to Indenture Property will be perfected by the filing of 
financing statements on Form UCC-1 in each jurisdiction where such recording 
or filing is necessary for the perfection thereof, the delivery of the 
Receivable Files for the Receivables to the Custodian, and the establishment 
of the Collection Account, the Subcollection Account, the Lockbox Account, 
the Pre-Funding Account, the Reserve Account and the Note Distribution 
Account in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and 
no other filings in any jurisdiction or any other actions (except as 
expressly provided herein) are necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent's 
Lien on and security interest in the Collateral as against any third parties.

         (s)  SECURITY INTEREST IN FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS.  Assuming the 
retention of funds in the Accounts and the acquisition of Eligible 
Investments in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such funds and 
Eligible Investments will be subject to a valid and perfected, first priority 
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture 
Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) and Financial Security.

         Section 2.05   AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF ARCADIA FINANCIAL AND THE 
SELLER.  Each of Arcadia Financial and the Seller hereby agree that during 
the Term of the Agreement, unless Financial Security shall otherwise 
expressly consent in writing:

         (a)  COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENTS AND APPLICABLE LAWS.  The Seller 
will comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and each other 
Transaction Document to which it is a party and with all material 
requirements of any law, rule or regulation applicable to it.  The Seller 
will not cause or permit to become effective any amendment to or modification 
of any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party unless (i) (so 
long as no Insurer Default shall


                                       21
<PAGE>

have occurred and be continuing) Financial Security shall have previously 
approved in writing the form of such amendment or modification or (ii) if an 
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amendment would 
not adversely affect the interests of Financial Security.  The Seller shall 
not take any action or fail to take any action that would interfere with the 
enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or the other Transaction 
Documents.

         (b)  CORPORATE EXISTENCE.  The Seller shall maintain its corporate 
existence and shall at all times continue to be duly organized under the laws 
of Delaware and duly qualified and duly authorized (as described in Sections 
2.04(a), (b) and (c) hereof) and shall conduct its business in accordance 
with the terms of its corporate charter and bylaws.

         (c)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; ACCOUNTANTS' REPORTS; OTHER INFORMATION. 
The Seller shall keep or cause to be kept in reasonable detail books and 
records of account of the Seller's assets and business, and shall clearly 
reflect therein the transfer of the Receivables and the Other Trust Property 
to the Trust and the sale of the Receivables as a sale to the Trust of the 
Seller's interest in the Receivables and the Other Trust Property.  The 
Seller shall furnish to Financial Security, simultaneously with the delivery 
of such documents to the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be, 
copies of all reports, certificates, statements, financial statements or 
notices furnished to the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be, 
pursuant to the Transaction Documents.  The Seller shall furnish to Financial 
Security as soon as available, and in any event within 90 days after the 
close of each fiscal year of the Seller, the unaudited balance sheet of the 
Seller as of the end of such fiscal year and the unaudited statements of 
income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows of the Seller for such 
fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and stating in comparative form the 
respective figures for the preceding fiscal year, prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

         (d)  COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE.  The Seller shall deliver to Financial 
Security, within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Seller, a 
certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Seller stating that:

         (i)    a review of the Seller's performance under the Transaction 
     Documents during such period has been made under such officer's 
     supervision; and

         (ii)   to the best of such individual's knowledge following 
     reasonable inquiry, no Default or Event of Default has occurred, or if a 
     Default or Event of Default has occurred, specifying the nature thereof 
     and, if the Seller has or had a right to cure pursuant to Section 5.01, 
     stating in reasonable detail the steps, if any, taken or being taken by 
     the Seller to cure such Default or Event of Default or to otherwise 
     comply with the terms of the Transaction Document to which such Default 
     or Event of Default relates.

         (iii)  the financial reports submitted in accordance with Section 
     2.05(c) hereof, are complete and correct in all material respects and 
     present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the 
     Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated, in accordance with 
     generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.


                                       22
<PAGE>

         (e)  ACCESS TO RECORDS; DISCUSSIONS WITH OFFICERS AND ACCOUNTANTS. 
The Seller shall, upon the request of Financial Security, permit Financial 
Security or its authorized agents (i) to inspect the books and records of 
the Seller as they may relate to the Notes, the Receivables and the Other 
Trust Property, the obligations of the Seller under the Transaction 
Documents, the Seller's business and the Transaction and (ii) to discuss the 
affairs, finances and accounts of the Seller with any of its officers, 
directors and representatives, including its Independent Accountants. Such 
inspections and discussions shall be conducted during normal business hours 
and shall not unreasonably disrupt the business of the Seller.  The books and 
records of the Seller will be maintained at the address of the Seller 
designated herein for receipt of notices, unless the Seller shall otherwise 
advise the parties hereto in writing.

         (f)  NOTICE OF MATERIAL EVENTS.  The Seller shall promptly inform 
Financial Security in writing of the occurrence of any of the following:

         (i)    the submission of any claim or the initiation of any legal 
     process, litigation or administrative or judicial investigation against 
     the Seller involving potential damages or penalties in an uninsured 
     amount in excess of $5,000 in any one instance or $25,000 in the 
     aggregate;

         (ii)   any change in the location of Seller's principal office or

         (iii)  the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

         (iv)   the commencement or threat of any rule making or disciplinary 
     proceedings or any proceedings instituted by or against the Seller in

         (v)    the commencement of any proceedings by or against the Seller

with respect to Other Trust Property, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
In addition, the Seller shall, upon the request of Financial Security (so 
long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), from time to 
time, execute, acknowledge and deliver and, if necessary, file such further 
instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to 
effectuate the intention, performance and provisions of the Transaction 
Documents to which the Seller is a party or to protect the interest of the 
Trust in the Receivables under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Seller 
agrees to cooperate with the Rating Agencies in connection with any review of 
the Transaction which may be undertaken by the Rating Agencies after the date

the Notes shall clearly disclose that the Note Policy is not covered by the 
property/casualty insurance security fund specified in Article 76 of the New 
York Insurance Law.  In addition, each Prospectus delivered with respect to 
the Notes which includes financial statements of Financial Security prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (other than a 
Prospectus that only incorporates such financial statements by reference) 
shall include the following statement immediately preceding such financial 
statements:

         The New York State Insurance Department recognizes only 
         statutory accounting practices for determining and 
         reporting the financial condition and results of 
         operations of an insurance company, for determining its 
         solvency under the New York Insurance Law, and for 
         determining whether its financial condition warrants the 
         payment of a dividend to its stockholders.  No 
         consideration is given by the New York State Insurance 
         Department to financial statements prepared in accordance 
         with generally accepted accounting principles in making 
         such determinations.

         (j)  SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.

         (i)   The Seller shall conduct its business solely in its own name 
     through its duly authorized officers or agents so as not to mislead 
     others as to the identity of the entity with which those others are 
     concerned, and particularly will use its best efforts to


                                       24
<PAGE>

     avoid the appearance of conducting business on behalf of Arcadia 
     Financial or any other Affiliate thereof or that the assets of the 
     Seller are available to pay the creditors of Arcadia Financial or any 
     Affiliate thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
     all oral and written communications, including, without limitation, 
     letters, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, statements and loan 
     applications, will be made solely in the name of the Seller.

         (ii)   The Seller shall maintain corporate records and books of 
     account separate from those of Arcadia Financial and the other 
     Affiliates thereof.

         (iii)  The Seller shall obtain proper authorization from its board 
     of directors of all corporate action requiring such authorization, 
     meetings of the board of directors of the Seller shall be held not less 
     frequently than three times per annum and copies of the minutes of each 
     such board meeting shall be delivered to Financial Security within two 
     weeks of such meeting.

         (iv)   The Seller shall obtain proper authorization from its 
     shareholders of all corporate action requiring shareholder approval, 
     meetings of the shareholders of the Seller shall be held not less 
     frequently than one time per annum and copies of each such authorization 
     and the minutes of each such shareholder meeting shall be delivered to 
     Financial Security within two weeks of such authorization or meeting, as 
     the case may be.

         (v)    Although the organizational expenses of the Seller have been 
     paid by Arcadia Financial, operating expenses and liabilities of the 
     Seller shall be paid from its own funds.

         (vi)   The annual financial statements of the Seller shall disclose 
     the effects of the Seller's transactions in accordance with generally 
     accepted accounting principles and shall disclose that the assets of the 
     Seller are not available to pay creditors of Arcadia Financial or any 
     other Affiliate thereof.

         (vii)  The resolutions, agreements and other instruments of the 
     Seller underlying the transactions described in this Agreement and in 
     the other Transaction Documents shall be continuously maintained by the 
     Seller as official records of the Seller separately identified and held 
     apart from the records of Arcadia Financial and each other Affiliate 
     thereof.

         (viii) The Seller shall maintain an arm's-length relationship with 
     Arcadia Financial and the other Affiliates thereof and will not hold 
     itself out as being liable for the debts of Arcadia Financial or any 
     Affiliate thereof.

         (ix)   The Seller shall keep its assets and its liabilities wholly 
     separate from those of all other entities, including, but not limited to 
     Arcadia Financial and the other Affiliates thereof except, in each case, 
     as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

         (k)  CLOSING DOCUMENTS.  The Seller shall provide or cause to be 
provided to Financial Security an executed original copy of each document 
executed in connection with the Transaction within 10 days after the Closing 
Date, except that the Seller shall cause a copy of the Trust Agreement, the 
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Series 1998-B Supplement, the Indenture, 
the Administration Agreement and each Transaction Document to which Financial 
Security is a party to be provided to Financial Security on the Closing Date.

         (l)  SUBSEQUENT RECEIVABLES; GOOD TITLE; VALID TRANSFER; ABSENCE OF 
LIENS; SECURITY INTEREST.  Immediately prior to the sale to the Trust 
pursuant to a Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Seller will be the owner of, 
and shall have good and marketable title to, the Subsequent Receivables 
transferred thereby and the related Other Trust Property free and clear of 
all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability, and shall have full right, 
corporate power and lawful authority to assign, transfer and pledge such 
property.

Arcadia Financial represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of

         (a)  DUE ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION.  Arcadia Financial and each 
of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in 
good standing under the laws of the State of its respective incorporation 
with power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business.  
Arcadia Financial and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do 
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to 
be so qualified would render any of the Receivables unenforceable in any 
respect or would otherwise have a material adverse effect upon the 
Transaction.  Arcadia Financial and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained all 
licenses, permits, charters, registrations and approvals necessary for the 
conduct of its business as currently conducted and as described in the 
Prospectus and for the performance of its obligations under the Transaction 
Documents.

         (b)  POWER AND AUTHORITY.  Arcadia Financial has all necessary 
corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted 
and as described in the Prospectus, to execute, deliver and perform its 
obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which 
it is a party and to carry out the terms of each such agreement.

         (c)  DUE AUTHORIZATION.  The execution, delivery and performance of 
this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Arcadia Financial 
is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and 
does not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by or 
any notice to or filing with any Person, including, without limitation, any 
governmental entity or Arcadia Financial's stockholders.

         (d)  NONCONTRAVENTION.  Neither the execution and delivery of this 
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which Arcadia Financial is a 
party, the consummation of the Transaction, nor the satisfaction of the terms 
and conditions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which 
Arcadia Financial is a party,

         (i)  conflicts with or results in any breach or violation of any 
     provision of the corporate charter or bylaws of Arcadia Financial or any 
     law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, 
     determination or award currently in effect having applicability to 
     Arcadia Financial or any of its properties, including regulations issued 
     by an administrative agency or other governmental authority having 
     supervisory powers over Arcadia Financial,

        (ii)  constitutes a default by Arcadia Financial under or a breach of 
     any provision of any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or other 
     agreement or instrument to which Arcadia Financial or any of its 
     Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its or their properties 
     is or may be bound or affected, or

       (iii)  results in or requires the creation of any Lien upon or in 
     respect of any of Arcadia Financial's assets, except as otherwise 
     expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

<PAGE>

          (e)  PENDING LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.  There is no action, 
proceeding or investigation pending, or, to Arcadia Financial's best 
knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative 
agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over 
Arcadia Financial or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this 
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Arcadia Financial is a 
party, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes, or the consummation 
of the Transaction, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might 
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, this 
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Arcadia Financial is a 
party, (D) which might result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to 
Arcadia Financial or (E) which might adversely affect the federal or state 
tax attributes of the Notes or the Trust.

         (f)  VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  The Purchase Agreement 
constitutes a valid sale, transfer, and assignment of the Receivables and 
Other Trust Property to the Seller, enforceable against creditors of and 
purchasers from Arcadia Financial.  Each of the other Transaction Documents 
to which Arcadia Financial is a party when executed and delivered by Arcadia 
Financial, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the 
other parties thereto, will constitute the legal, valid and binding 
obligation of Arcadia Financial enforceable in accordance with its respective 
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, 
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting 
creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles.

         (g)  NO CONSENTS.  No consent, license, approval or authorization 
from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, 
administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality, nor any 
consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other 
non-governmental person, is required in connection with the execution, 
delivery and performance by Arcadia Financial of this Agreement or of any 
other Transaction Document to which Arcadia Financial is a party, except (in 
each case) such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

Financial, copies of which have been furnished to Financial Security, (i) 
are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and 
correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial 
condition and results of operations of Arcadia Financial as of the dates and 
for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, except as 
noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end 
adjustments and the absence of notes). Since the date of the most recent 
Financial Statements, there has been no material adverse change in such 
financial condition or results of operations. Except as disclosed in the 
Financial Statements, Arcadia Financial is not subject to any contingent 
liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a 
reasonable likelihood of causing a Material Adverse Change in respect of 
Arcadia Financial.

         (i)  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.  No practice, procedure or policy 
employee or proposed to be employed by Arcadia Financial in the conduct of 
its business violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, order or 
decree applicable to Arcadia Financial which, if enforced, would result in a 
Material Adverse Change with respect to Arcadia Financial.

         (j)  TAXES.  Arcadia Financial has, and each of its Subsidiaries 
have, filed all federal and state tax returns and paid all taxes to the 
extent that such taxes have become due.  Any taxes, fees and other 
governmental charges payable by Arcadia Financial in connection with the 
Transaction, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the 
issuance of the Notes have been paid or shall have been paid at or prior to 
the Closing Date.

         (a)  INDEMNIFICATION BY ARCADIA FINANCIAL.  In addition to any and 
all rights of reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation and any other 
rights pursuant hereto or under law or in equity, Arcadia Financial agrees to 
pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless, Financial Security and its 
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each Person, if any, 
who controls Financial Security within the meaning of either Section 15 of 
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and

     agent of the Trust the Seller or Arcadia Financial in connection with 
     the Transaction;

         (iii)  the violation by the Trust, the Seller or Arcadia Financial

<PAGE>

         (iv)   the breach by the Trust, the Seller or Arcadia Financial of 
     any representation, warranty or covenant under any of the Transaction 
     Documents or the occurrence, in respect of the Trust, the Seller or 
     Arcadia Financial, under any of the Transaction Documents of any event 
     of default or any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of 
     time or both, would constitute any event of default; or

         (v)    any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a 
     material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus 
     or in any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged 
     omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein 
     or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except 
     insofar as such claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue 
     statement or omission (A) included in the Registration Statement or the 
     Prospectus and furnished by Financial Security in writing expressly for 
     use therein (all such information so furnished being referred to herein 
     as "Financial Security Information"), it being understood that the 
     Financial Security Information is limited to the information included 
     under the caption "Financial Security Assurance Inc.," and the financial 
     statements of Financial Security included in the Registration Statements 
     or the Prospectus or (B) included in the information set forth under the 
     caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus.

         (b)  CONDUCT OF ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.  If any action or proceeding 
(including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted 
against Financial Security, any officer, director, shareholder, employee or 
agent of Financial Security or any Person controlling Financial Security 
(individually, an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified 
Parties") in respect of which indemnity may be sought from Arcadia Financial 
hereunder, Financial Security shall promptly notify Arcadia Financial in 
writing, and Arcadia Financial shall assume the defense thereof, including 
the employment of counsel satisfactory to Financial Security and the payment 
of all expenses.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ 
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof 
at the expense of the Indemnified Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the fees and 
expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of Arcadia 
Financial if (i) Arcadia Financial has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, 
(ii) Arcadia Financial shall have failed to assume the defense of such action 
or proceeding and employ counsel satisfactory to Financial Security in any 
such action or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such action or 
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified 
Party and the Trust, the Seller or Arcadia Financial, and the Indemnified 
Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal 
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those 
available to the Trust, the Seller or Arcadia Financial (in which case, if 
the Indemnified Party notifies Arcadia Financial in writing that it elects to 
employ separate counsel at the expense of Arcadia Financial, Arcadia 
Financial shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or 
proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, 
that Arcadia Financial shall not, in connection with any one such action or 
proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or 
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general 
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses 
of more than one separate form of attorneys at any time for the Indemnified 
Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by Financial Security). 
Arcadia Financial shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or


                                       43
<PAGE>

proceeding effected without its written consent to the extent that any such 
settlement shall be prejudicial to it, but, if settled with its written 
consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action 
or proceeding with respect to which Arcadia Financial shall have received 
notice in accordance with this subsection (c) Arcadia Financial agrees to 
indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any loss 
or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

         (c)  CONTRIBUTION.  To provide for just and equitable contribution 
if the indemnification provided by Arcadia Financial is determined to be 
unavailable for any Indemnified Party (other than due to application of this 
Section), Arcadia Financial shall contribute to the losses incurred by the 
Indemnified Party on the basis of the relative fault of Arcadia Financial, on 
the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand.

         Section 3.06  PAYMENT PROCEDURE.  In the event of the incurrence by 
Financial Security of any cost or expense or any payment by Financial 
Security for which it is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified as provided 
above Arcadia Financial agrees to accept the voucher or other evidence of 
payment as prima facie evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability 
therefor to Financial Security.  All payments to be made to Financial 
Security under this Agreement shall be made to Financial Security in lawful 
currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds to 
the account number provided in the Premium Letter before 1:00 p.m. (New York, 
New York time) on the date when due or as Financial Security shall otherwise 
direct by written notice to Arcadia Financial.  In the event that the date of 
any payment to Financial Security or the expiration of any time period 
hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment or 
expiration of time period shall be made or occur on the next succeeding 
Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment was made or 
time period expired on the scheduled date of payment or expiration date.  
Payments to be made to Financial Security under this Agreement shall bear 
interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date when due to the date paid.

         Section 3.07  SUBROGATION.  Subject only to the priority of payment 
provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trust, the 
Indenture Trustee, the Seller and Arcadia Financial acknowledges that, to the 
extent of any payment made by Financial Security pursuant to the Note Policy, 
Financial Security is to be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment 
and any additional interest due on any late payment, to the rights of the 
Noteholders to any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Notes under the 
Transaction Documents or otherwise.  Each of the Trust, the Indenture 
Trustee, the Seller and Arcadia Financial agrees to such subrogation and, 
further, agrees to execute such instruments and to take such actions as, in 
the sole judgment of Financial Security, are necessary to evidence such 
subrogation and to perfect the rights of Financial Security to receive any 
such moneys paid or payable in respect of the Notes under the Transaction 
Documents or otherwise.

       (iii)  take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear 
     necessary or desirable in its judgment to enforce performance of any 
     obligation of the Trust, the Seller or Arcadia Financial under the 
     Transaction Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Financial Security shall 
     not be entitled hereunder to file any petition with respect to the Trust 
     or the Trust Property under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

         (b)  Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein conferred 
upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, 
but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other 
remedies given under the Transaction Documents or existing at law or in 
equity.  No delay or failure to exercise any right or power accruing under 
any Transaction Document upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or 
otherwise shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a 
waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to 
time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  In order to entitle Financial 
Security to exercise any remedy reserved to Financial Security in this 
Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice.

         (c)  If any proceeding has been commenced to enforce any right or 
remedy under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or 
abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to Financial 
Security, then and in every such case the parties hereto shall, subject to 
any determination in such proceeding, be restored to their respective former 
positions hereunder, and, thereafter, all rights and remedies of Financial 
Security shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

         (d)  Financial Security shall have the right, to be exercised in its 
complete discretion, to waive any covenant, Default or Event of Default by a 
writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed 
by Financial Security and delivered to the Seller and Arcadia Financial.  Any 
such waiver may only be effected in writing duly executed by Financial 
Security, and no other course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any 
provision hereof. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any 
waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence so 
waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs 
subsequent to the date of such waiver.

          SECTION 3.     CONDITION TO EFFECTIVENESS.  It shall be condition 
to the effectiveness of this Amendment that: 

          (a)  Arcadia shall pay to the Agent all legal and other expenses of 
the Agent in connection with this Amendment and the administration of the 
Agreement incurred to date (including rating agency fees, if any, incurred in 
connection with DLJ's refinancing of its commitment under the Agreement).

          (b)  The following representation and warranty shall be true and 
correct: Arcadia or an Affiliate thereof shall be a party to a warehouse 
credit facility pursuant to which Arcadia or such Affiliate can borrow funds 
to and including November 10, 1998 to finance the purchase or origination of 
retail automobile installment sales contracts of the same type as the 
Receivables permitted to be financed under the Agreement.

          SECTION 4.     OTHER AGREEMENTS.  Arcadia, DLJ and the Borrower 
further agree that:

          (a)  Any Advance made pursuant to the Agreement as amended by this

all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon) on or prior to July 24, 1998.

          (b)  From and after July 24, 1998, the Borrower shall not request 
an Advance pursuant to the Agreement unless (x) the Borrower or any Affiliate 
thereof is at such time a party to one or more other credit facilities 
pursuant to which the Borrower or such Affiliate can borrow funds for the 
purpose of financing the purchase or origination of retail automobile 
installment contracts of the same type as the Receivables permitted to be 
financed under the Agreement and (y) the Borrower or such Affiliate is unable 
to borrow under any such credit facility and such inability is due solely (i) 
to the fact that any applicable limits on borrowings (including any limits 
applicable to certain designated types of such contracts) has been reached or 
exceeded; (ii) the 

                                        4

<PAGE>


lenders or purchasers under such facilities are unable to provide funding 
because of events unrelated to Arcadia or any of its subsidiaries (other than 
an event related to the cancellation of any guaranty or insurance policy 
related to such facility) or (iii) willful misconduct by a lender or 
purchaser under such facility.

          SECTION 5.     REFERENCE TO AND EFFECT ON THE DOCUMENTS.  

          (a)  On and after the date hereof, (i) each reference in the 
Receivables Agreement to the Receivables Agreement shall refer to the 
Receivables Agreement as amended hereby and each reference in the Receivables 
Agreement to "hereunder", "hereof", "herein", or words of like import shall 
mean and be a reference to such Agreement as amended hereby.

Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and 
confirmed.

hereto represents and warrants that all of their representations and 
warranties contained in the Transaction Documents are true and correct in all 
material respects on the date hereof and with the same force and effect as

except to the extent any such representations and warranties relate solely to 
an earlier date.

          SECTION 7.     GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE 
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE 
STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 8.     EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.  This Amendment may be 
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in 
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an 
original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the 
same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to

     shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this 
     Agreement or the other Related Documents.

          (b)  The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action 
     hereunder or under any other Related Document if the Owner Trustee shall 
     have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that 
     such action is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Related 
     Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

          (c)  Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between 
     alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this 
     Agreement or any other Related Document, the Owner Trustee shall 
     promptly give notice (in such form as shall be 

                                       8
<PAGE>

     appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owner requesting instruction 
     as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner 
     Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction 
     received from the Owner, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on 
     account of such action to any Person.  If the Owner Trustee shall not 
     have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or 
     within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in 
     such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but 
     shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not 
     inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Related Documents, as it 
     shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owner, and shall have no 
     liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

          (d)  In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the 
     application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Related 
     Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or 
     is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, 
     or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the 
     Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action 
     that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular 
     set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall 
     be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owner requesting 
     instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains 
     from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction 
     received from the Owner, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on 
     account of such action or inaction, to any Person.  If the Owner Trustee 
     shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such 
     notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be 
     specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it 
     may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such 
     action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Related 
     Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owner, 
     and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

     Section 5.4.  NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN 
INSTRUCTIONS.  The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to 
manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, 
or otherwise deal with the Trust Property, or to otherwise take or refrain 
from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document 
contemplated hereby to which the Trust is a party, except as expressly 
provided by the terms of this Agreement (including as provided in Section 
5.2) or in any written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to 
Section 5.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this 
Agreement or any Related Document against the Owner Trustee.  The Owner 
Trustee shall have no responsibility for preparing, monitoring or filing any 
financing or continuation statements in any public office at any time or 
otherwise to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or 
lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement or any other Related 
Document; however, the Owner Trustee will from time to time execute and 
deliver such financing or continuation statements as are prepared by the 
Servicer or the Administrator and delivered to the Owner Trustee for its 
execution on behalf of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting or maintaining 
the perfection of such a security interest or lien or effecting such a 
recording.  The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own 
cost and expense (and not at the expense of the Trust), promptly take all 
action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust 
Property that are attributable to claims against the Owner Trustee in 

                                       9
<PAGE>

its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership or the 
administration of the Trust Property.

     Section 5.5.  NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS OR 
INSTRUCTIONS.  The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, 
dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of, the Trust Property except (i) 
in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the 
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the other 
Related Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction 
delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.

     Section 5.6.  RESTRICTIONS.  The Owner Trustee shall not take any action 
(a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 
2.3 or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result 
in the Trust's becoming taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax 
purposes.  The Owner shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that 
would violate the provisions of this Section.

     Section 5.7.  ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT.

          (a)  The Administrator is authorized to execute on behalf of the 
     Trust all documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and 
     opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust to prepare, file or 
     deliver pursuant to the Related Documents.  Upon written request, the 
     Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Administrator a power of 
     attorney appointing the Administrator its agent and attorney-in-fact to 
     execute all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates 
     and opinions.

          (b)  If the Administrator shall resign or be removed pursuant to 
     the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Owner Trustee may, and is 
     hereby authorized and empowered to, subject to obtaining the prior 
     written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Security Insurer (as 
     long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred), appoint or consent to 
     the appointment of a successor Administrator pursuant to the 
     Administration Agreement.

          (c)  If the Administration Agreement is terminated, the Owner 
     Trustee may, and is hereby authorized and empowered to, subject to 
     obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (as long 
     as no Insurer Default shall have occurred), appoint or consent to the 
     appointment of a Person to perform substantially the same duties as are 
     assigned to the Administrator in the Administration Agreement pursuant 
     to an agreement containing substantially the same provisions as are 
     contained in the Administration Agreement.

          (d)  The Owner Trustee shall promptly notify the Owner, the 
     Depositor and the Security Insurer of any default by or misconduct of 
     the Administrator under the Administration Agreement of which the Owner 
     Trustee has received written notice or of which a Responsible Officer 
     has actual knowledge.

          (d)  under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be liable for 
     indebtedness evidenced by or arising under this Agreement or any of the

     the Collateral Agent or the Servicer under any of the Related Documents 
     or otherwise and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or liability

     under the Administration Agreement, the Custodian under the Custodian 
     Agreement, the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, the Collateral

     order or direction of the Owner, unless the Owner has offered to the 
     Owner Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 
     against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the 
     Owner Trustee therein or thereby.  The right of the Owner Trustee to 
     perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any 
     other Related Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner

represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Owner that:

          (a)  It is a banking corporation duly organized and validly 
     existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  It 
     has all requisite corporate power and authority and all franchises, 
     grants, authorizations, consents, orders and approvals from all 
     governmental authorities necessary to execute, deliver and perform its 
     obligations under each Related Document to which the Trust is a party.

          (b)  It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the 
     execution and delivery by it of each Related Document to which the Trust 
     is a party, and each Related Document will be executed and delivered by 
     one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this 
     Agreement on its behalf.

          (c)  Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this 
     Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated 
     hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof 
     will contravene any Federal or Delaware law, governmental rule or 
     regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or 
     any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its 
     charter 

                                       12
<PAGE>

     documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or 
     instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may 
     be bound or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or 
     encumbrance on the Trust Property resulting from actions by or claims 
     against the Owner Trustee individually which are unrelated to the 
     Related Documents.

     Section 6.4.  RELIANCE; ADVICE OF COUNSEL.

          (a)  The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting 
     upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, 
     order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, or other document or paper 
     believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed by the 
     proper party or parties.  The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy 
     of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any 
     corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been 
     duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. 
     As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is 
     not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all 
     purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any 
     vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers of the 
     relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall 
     constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or 
     omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

          (b)  In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and 
     in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or 
     the other Related Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or 
     through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with 
     any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct 
     or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys 
     shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and 
     (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to 
     be selected with reasonable care and employed by it.  The Owner Trustee 
     shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith 
     by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such 
     counsel, accountants or other such persons and not contrary to this 
     Agreement or any other Related Document.

this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby created Wilmington Trust 
Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related 
Document shall look only to the Trust Property for payment or satisfaction 
thereof.

     Section 6.6.  OWNER TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATE, NOTES OR 
RECEIVABLES.  The recitals contained herein and in the Certificate (other 
than the signature and counter-signature of the Owner Trustee on the 
Certificate) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor (other than 
the signature or countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Notes), and the 
Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof.  The 
Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of 
this Agreement, of any other Related Document or of the Certificate (other 
than the signature and counter-signature of the Owner 

                                       13
<PAGE>

Trustee on the Certificate) or the Notes (other than the signature or 
counter-signature of the Owner Trustee on the Notes), or of any Receivable or 
related documents.  The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any 
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and 
enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any 
security interest created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the 
maintenance of any such perfection and priority of any security interest 
created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any 
such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of 
the Trust Property or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed 
to or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation:  
the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence 
and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of 
any Receivable or any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the 
assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; 
the completeness of any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any 
Receivable; the performance by the Security Insurer under the Note Policy; 
the compliance by the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or 
representation made under any Related Document or in any related document or 
the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the 
Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent or the Servicer taken 
in the name of the Owner Trustee.

     Section 6.7.  OWNER TRUSTEE MAY OWN NOTES.  The Owner Trustee in its 
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and 
may deal with the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the 
Collateral Agent and the Servicer in banking or other transactions with the 
same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.

its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable 
compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, 
experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the 
exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder; PROVIDED, 
HOWEVER, that the Owner Trustee shall only be entitled to reimbursement for 
expenses hereunder to the extent such expenses are fees of outside counsel 
engaged by the Owner Trustee in respect of the performance of its obligations 
hereunder.

     Section 7.2.  NON-RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS.  Notwithstanding anything in 
this Agreement or any Related Document, the Owner Trustee agrees in its 
individual capacity and in its capacity as Owner Trustee for the Trust that 
all obligations of the Trust to the Owner Trustee individually or as Owner 
Trustee for the Trust shall be recourse to the Trust Property only.

          (a)  The respective obligations and responsibilities of the 
     Depositor, the Owner and the Owner Trustee created by this Agreement and 
     the Trust created by this Agreement shall terminate upon the maturity or 
     other liquidation of the last Receivable and the subsequent distribution

     by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the 
     death of the last survivor of the descendants living on the date of this 
     Agreement of Rose Kennedy of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and 
     PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any rights to indemnification that the Owner 
     Trustee or its successors, assigns and agents may have shall survive the 
     termination of the Trust.  The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner 
     Trustee of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section 8.1.  
     The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, termination, resignation, 
     expulsion, withdrawal, death or incapacity of Owner, shall not (x) 
     operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle the 
     Owner's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take 
     any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of 
     all or any part of the Trust or Trust Property nor (z) otherwise affect

time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible 

                                       15
<PAGE>

in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall 
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2.

     Section 9.2.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF OWNER TRUSTEE.  The Owner 
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby 
created by giving written notice thereof to the Owner and the Servicer at 
least 30 days before the date specified in such instrument.  Upon receiving 
such notice of resignation, the Owner shall promptly appoint a successor 
Owner Trustee meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 9.1 by written 
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to 
the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee.  If 
no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted 
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, 
the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction 
for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and shall fail to resign after 
written request therefor by the Owner or if at any time the Owner Trustee 
shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, 
or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or 
any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of 
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or 
liquidation, then the Owner, with the consent of the Administrative Agent may 
remove the Owner Trustee.  If the Owner shall remove the Owner Trustee under 
the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Owner shall promptly 
appoint a successor Owner Trustee meeting the qualification requirements of 
Section 9.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument 
shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to 
the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing 
Owner Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a 
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 
shall not become effective until all fees and expenses, including any 
indemnity payments, due to the outgoing Owner Trustee have been paid and 
until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to 
Section 9.3.  The Owner shall provide notice of such resignation or removal 
of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to 
the Owner and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such 
appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of 
the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner 
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully 
vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its 
predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as 
Owner Trustee.  The predecessor Owner Trustee shall deliver to the successor 
Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this 
Agreement; and the Owner and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and 
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be 
required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor 
Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this 
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee 
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.

this Section, the Owner shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner 
Trustee to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the 
Security Insurer, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.  If the Owner 
shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment 
by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such 
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Owner.

     Section 9.4.  MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE.  Any corporation 
into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may 
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or 
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation 
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the 
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, 
provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without 
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of 
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, 
and provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger 
or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

     Section 9.5.  APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the 
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any 
part of the Trust Property or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be 
located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have 
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or 
more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with 
the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any 
part of the Trust Property, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, 
such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other 
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and 
trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or 
desirable.  If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment 
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner 
Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee or 
separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of 
eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of 
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required 
pursuant to Section 9.1.

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

          (i)    all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or 
     imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or 
     performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee 
     jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is 
     not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in 
     such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction 
     in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Owner 
     Trustee shall be incompetent or 

                                       17
<PAGE>

     unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, 
     powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the 
     Trust Property or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be 
     exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, 
     but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

          (ii)   no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable 
     by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this 
     Agreement; and

          (iii)  the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may 
     at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or 
     co-trustee.

     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be 
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and 
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument 
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement 
and the conditions of this Article.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, 
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates 
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with 
the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all 
the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of 
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or 
affording protection to, the Owner Trustee.  Each such instrument shall be 
filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner 
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the 
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of 
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or 
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all 
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be 
exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the 
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

     the consent of the Noteholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, or (ii) to 
     correct, supplement or modify any provisions in this Agreement; 
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an 
     Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the 
     interests of any Noteholder. In addition, this Agreement and any Related 
     Document may be amended by the Depositor, the Owner and the Owner 
     Trustee (or, in the case of a Related Document, the parties thereto), in 
     connection with any Securitized Offering, so long as it is a condition 
     precedent to the effectiveness of such amendment that any commitment to 
     fund increases in the

     outstanding principal balance of the Notes under the Note Purchase

     Depositor, the Owner and the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the 
     Security Insurer so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and 
     be continuing, and if such amendment materially and adversely affects 
     the interests of Noteholders, the consent of a Note Majority (which 
     consent of any Holder of a Note given pursuant to this Section or 
     pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive 
     and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of such Note and of 
     any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in 
     lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the 
     Note) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any 
     manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of 
     modifying in any manner the rights of the Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, 
     that, no such amendment shall directly or indirectly (a) increase or 
     reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing 
     of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that shall 
     be required to be made on any Note or the Note Interest Rate (as defined 
     in the Indenture) or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to 
     consent to any such amendment or any waiver hereunder, without the 
     consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding.

          (c)  Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent (other 
     than an amendment described in the final sentence of Section 10.1(a)), 
     the Owner shall furnish written notification of the substance of such 
     amendment or consent to each Rating Agency.

          (d)  Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent

     substance of such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee and the 
     Collateral Agent unless such parties have previously received such 
     notification.

          (e)  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Owner 
     pursuant to Section 10.1(b) to approve the particular form of any 
     proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such 
     consent shall approve the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining 
     such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in 
     this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution 
     thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements 
     as the Owner Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of 
     record dates.

          (f)  Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement 
     (other than an amendment described in the final sentence of Section 
     10.1(a)), the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon 
     an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is 
     authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions 
     precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been 
     satisfied.  The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter 
     into any such amendment which 

                                       19

Assignment Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Receivables and the Other 
Conveyed Property from AFL to ARFC, conveying good title thereto free and 
clear of any Liens, and the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property shall not 
be a part of AFL's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition

                               COVENANTS OF AFL

          SECTION 4.01.  PROTECTION OF TITLE OF ARFC.

          (a)  At or prior to the Closing Date, AFL shall have filed or 
caused to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement, executed by AFL as seller or 
debtor, naming ARFC as purchaser or secured party and describing the 
Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to be sold by AFL to ARFC as 
collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of 
Minnesota and in such other locations as ARFC shall have required.  From time 
to time thereafter AFL shall execute and file such financing statements and 
cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such 
manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, 
maintain and protect the interest of ARFC under this Agreement and of each 
Assignee under any Securitization Document or Warehousing Document in the 
Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof.  AFL 
shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to ARFC and any party entitled 
thereto under any Securitization Document or Warehousing Document 
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as 
provided above, as soon as available following such filing.  In the event 
that AFL fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, ARFC and any 
party entitled thereto under any Securitization Document or Warehousing 
Document may do so, at the expense of AFL.

          (b)  Except for changing its name to Arcadia Financial Ltd., AFL 
shall not change its name, identity, or corporate structure in any manner 
that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation 
statement filed by AFL (or by ARFC or any party entitled to file a financing 
statement under any Securitization Document or Warehousing Document on behalf 
of AFL) in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within 
the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given ARFC 
and any party entitled thereto under any Securitization Document or 
Warehousing Document and each Security Insurer at least 60 days' prior 
written notice thereof, and (including in connection with changing its name 
to Arcadia Financial Ltd.) shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all 
previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

          (c)  AFL shall give ARFC, each Security Insurer (so long as an 
Insurer Default with respect to such Security Insurer shall not have occurred 
and be continuing) and any party entitled thereto under any Securitization 
Document or Warehousing Document at least 60 days' prior written notice of 
any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of such 
relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of 
any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or 
of any new financing statement.  AFL shall at all times maintain each office 
from which it services the Receivables and its principal executive office 
within the United States of America.

<PAGE>

          (d)  AFL shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and 
after the time of any sale hereunder and under any Assignment Agreement of 
the Receivables to ARFC and the conveyance under any Securitization Document 
or Warehousing Document of the related Receivables by ARFC to an Assignee, 
AFL's master computer records (including archives) that refer to any such 
Receivable indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to ARFC and 
has been conveyed by ARFC to such Assignee. Indication of such Assignee's 
ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on AFL's computer 
systems when, and only when the Receivable shall have been paid in full or 
shall have been repurchased by ARFC or AFL.

          (e)  If at any time AFL shall propose to sell, grant a security 
interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables 
to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, AFL shall give to 
such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes, 
records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they 
shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate 
clearly that such Receivable has been sold to ARFC and is owned by the 
relevant Assignee pursuant to the applicable Securitization Document or 
Warehousing Document.

          SECTION 4.02.  OTHER LIENS OR INTERESTS.  Except for the 
conveyances under any Assignment Agreement, AFL will not sell, pledge, assign 
or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to 
exist any Lien on the Receivables or the Other Conveyed Property or any 
interest therein, and AFL shall defend the right, title, and interest of ARFC 
and each Assignee under any Securitization Document or Warehousing Document 
in and to the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property against all claims 
of third parties claiming through or under AFL.

          SECTION 4.03.  COSTS AND EXPENSES.  AFL shall pay all reasonable 
costs and disbursements in connection with the performance of its obligations 
hereunder, under any Assignment Agreement and under its Related Documents.

          SECTION 4.04.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  AFL shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless ARFC, each 
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each

expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities arising out of or

contained herein.

          (b)  AFL shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless ARFC, each 
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each

Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each Security Insurer and the 
Holders against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and 
liabilities arising out of or resulting from 

<PAGE>

any action taken, or failed to be taken, by AFL in respect of any of the 
Receivables other than in accordance with this Agreement or any Warehousing 
Document or Securitization Document.

          (d)  AFL agrees to pay, and shall defend, indemnify and hold 
harmless ARFC, each Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, 
each Trustee, each Security Insurer and the Holders from and against any 
taxes that may at any time be asserted against ARFC, any Assignee, any Backup 
Servicer or any Holders with respect to the transactions contemplated in this 
Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general 
corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege, or license 
taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of any 
date of, the sale, transfer and assignment of any Receivables and Other 
Conveyed Property to ARFC and of the sale, transfer and assignment of such 
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property to an Assignee or the issuance and 
sale of any Securities, or asserted with respect to ownership of the 
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property which shall be indemnified by AFL 
pursuant to clause (e) below, or federal, state or other income taxes, 
arising out of distributions on the Securities or transfer taxes arising in 
connection with the transfer of Securities) and costs and expenses in 
defending against the same, arising by reason of the acts to be performed by 
AFL under this Agreement or any Assignment Agreement or imposed against such 
Persons.

          (e)  AFL agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless 
ARFC, each Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each 
Trustee, each Security Insurer and the Holders from, any taxes which may at 
any time be asserted against such Persons with respect to, and as of the date

hereunder and under any Assignment Agreement or the issuance and sale of any 
Securities, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, 
personal property, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege or 
license taxes (but not including any federal or other income taxes, including 
franchise taxes, arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or 
transfer taxes arising in connection with the transfer of the Securities) and 
costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the 
acts to be performed by AFL under this Agreement or imposed against such 
Persons.

          (f)  AFL shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ARFC, each 
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each 
Security Insurer and the Holders from and against any and all costs, 
expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such 
cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed 
upon ARFC, any Assignee, any Backup Servicer and any Holders through the 
negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of AFL in the performance of 
its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of AFL's 
obligations and duties under this Agreement.

          (g)  AFL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ARFC, each 
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Trustee, each 
Security Insurer and the Holders from and against any loss, liability or 
expense imposed upon, or incurred by, ARFC, any Assignee, any Backup Servicer 
or any Holders as a result of the failure of any Receivable, or the sale of 
the related Financed Vehicle, to comply with all requirements of applicable 
law.

          (h)  AFL shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ARFC from and 
against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising 
out of or incurred in 

<PAGE>

connection with the acceptance or performance of AFL's duties as Servicer 
under any Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that such cost, expense, 
loss, claim, damage, or liability shall be due to the willful misfeasance, 
bad faith, or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of ARFC.

          (i)  AFL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ARFC, each 
Assignee, each Security Insurer, each Backup Servicer and the Holders from 
and against any loss, liability or expense imposed upon, or incurred by, 
ARFC, any Assignee, any Backup Servicer, any Trustee or any Holders as a 
result of AFL's or ARFC's use of the name "Arcadia."

          (j)  Indemnification under this Section 4.04 shall include 
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall 
survive maturity of the related Securities. The indemnity obligations 
hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that AFL may otherwise have.

                                  ARTICLE V

                                 REPURCHASES

          SECTION 5.01.  REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY.  
Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to a Receivable, AFL 
shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, 
repurchase such Receivable from ARFC or the applicable Assignee, as 
applicable, and on or before the related Deposit Date (with respect to a 
Purchased Receivable) or the related Repurchase Date (with respect to 
Repurchased Receivables), AFL shall deposit the Purchase Amount into the 
Collection Account as payment to ARFC or such Assignee pursuant to the 
relevant Servicing Agreement or other Related Document. It is understood and 
agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.01, the obligation of AFL to 
repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing 
shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against 
AFL for such breach available to ARFC, any Security Insurer, any Collateral 
Agent, any such Assignee or any Trustee on behalf of its Holders.  The 
provisions of this Section 5.01 are intended to grant to any such Assignee a 
direct right against AFL to demand performance hereunder, and in connection 
therewith AFL waives any requirement of prior demand against ARFC with 
respect to such repurchase obligation.  Any such purchase shall take place in 
the manner specified in the related Servicing Agreement or other Related 
Document.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any 
Related Document to the contrary, the obligation of AFL under this Section 
shall not terminate upon a termination of AFL as Servicer under the related 
Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the terms 
hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or ARFC to perform any of 
their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under such 
Servicing Agreement.

          In addition to the foregoing and whether or not the related 
Receivable shall have been purchased by AFL, AFL shall indemnify each such 
Assignee, each Backup Servicer, each Collateral Agent, each Security Insurer, 
each Trustee and the Holders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, 
claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, 
which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third 
party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such 
Repurchase Events.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 5.02.  REASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Upon deposit 
in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable 
repurchased by AFL under Section 5.01, ARFC shall take such steps as may be 
reasonably requested by AFL in order to assign to AFL all of ARFC's and the 
relevant Assignee's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and 
all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to ARFC 
and such Assignee directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation 
or warranty, except as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances 
created by or arising as a result of actions of ARFC or such Assignee.  Such 
assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security.  
If, following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement 
suit or legal proceeding, it is held that AFL may not enforce any such 
Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a 
holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, ARFC shall, at the expense of AFL, 
take such steps as AFL deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Receivable, 
including bringing suit in ARFC's or any such Assignee's name or any 
Collateral Agent's name or the name of a Trustee on behalf of its Holders.

          SECTION 5.03.  WAIVERS.  No failure or delay on the part of ARFC, 
or any Assignee, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this 
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial 
exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future 
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

                                 ARTICLE VI

                                MISCELLANEOUS

          SECTION 6.01.  LIABILITY OF AFL.  AFL shall be liable in accordance 
herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically 
undertaken by AFL and the representations and warranties of AFL.

          SECTION 6.02.  MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF AFL OR ARFC. Any 
corporation or other entity (i) into which AFL or ARFC may be merged or 
consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which AFL or 
ARFC is a party or (iii) succeeding to the business of AFL or ARFC, in the 
case of ARFC, which corporation has a certificate of incorporation containing 
provisions relating to limitations on business and other matters 
substantively identical to those contained in ARFC's certificate of 
incorporation or otherwise acceptable to the Security Insurers and the Rating 
Agencies, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such corporation shall 
execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of AFL or 
ARFC, as the case may be, under this Agreement and such party's Related 
Documents and, whether or not such assumption agreement or agreements are 
executed, shall be the successor to AFL or ARFC, as the case may be, 
hereunder (without relieving AFL or ARFC of its responsibilities hereunder, 
if it survives such merger or consolidation) without the execution or filing 
of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARFC shall not merge or consolidate with any 
other Person or permit any other Person to become the successor to ARFC's 
business without the prior written consent of each Security Insurer (so long 
as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to 
such Security Insurer).  AFL or ARFC shall promptly inform the other party, 
and, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing 
with respect to such Security Insurer, each Security Insurer of such merger,

such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 
3.01 and 3.02 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such 
representations and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation 
of such transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or 
both, would become an event of default under any Insurance Agreement, shall 
have occurred and be continuing, (y) AFL or ARFC, as applicable, shall have 
delivered to each Trustee an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel 
each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement 
of assumption comply with this Section 6.02 and that all conditions 
precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such 
transaction have been complied with, and (z) AFL or ARFC, as applicable, 
shall have delivered to each Trustee an opinion of counsel, stating, in the 
opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation 
statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are 
necessary to preserve and protect the interest of each Assignee under any 
Related Document in the Receivables and reciting the details of the filings 
or (B) no such actions shall be necessary to preserve and protect such 
interest.

          SECTION 6.03.  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF AFL AND OTHERS.  AFL and 
any director, officer, employee or agent may rely in good faith on the advice 
of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and 
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.  
AFL shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any 
legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement 
or its Related Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any 
expense or liability.

          SECTION 6.04.  AMENDMENT.

          (a)  This Agreement may be amended by AFL and ARFC, without the 
consent of any Assignee or any Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to 
correct any ambiguity with respect to any provision in this Agreement; 
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of 
counsel delivered to each Trustee and each Rating Agency, adversely affect in 
any material respect the interests of any Assignee or any Holder.

          (b)  This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by AFL 
and ARFC, with the prior written consent of each Security Insurer (so long as 
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing with respect to 
such Security Insurer) or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be 
continuing, with the consent of each Assignee and each Trustee (or other 
representative of the Holders of all securities backed by the affected 
Receivables), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any 
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of 
modifying in any manner the rights of ARFC; PROVIDED, that if such amendment 
will have a material adverse effect on any Holders of any Securities, the 
consent of the Trustee or other representative for such Holders shall be 
required for such amendment; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no such 
amendment shall increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate 
or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or 
distributions that shall be required to be made on any Security.

          (c)  Prior to the execution of any amendment or consent referred to 
in subsection (b), AFL shall have furnished written notification of the 
substance of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency.

<PAGE>

          (d)  It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders pursuant 
to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or 
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the 
substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing 
the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders shall be subject to 
such reasonable requirements as the related Trustee may prescribe, including 
the establishment of record dates.  The consent of any Holder given pursuant 
to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be 
conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of such 
Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange 
thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made 
upon the Security.

          SECTION 6.05.  NOTICES.  All demands, notices and communications to 
AFL or ARFC hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered, or sent by 
telecopier (subsequently confirmed in writing), delivered by reputable 
overnight courier or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, and

          SECTION 6.06.  MERGER AND INTEGRATION.  Except as specifically 
stated otherwise herein, this Agreement, each Assignment Agreement and the 
Related Documents sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating 
to the subject matter hereof, and all prior understandings, written or oral, 
are superseded by this Agreement and the Related Documents.  This Agreement 
may not be modified, amended, waived or supplemented except as provided 
herein.

          SECTION 6.07.  SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.  If any one or more of 
the covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason 
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be 
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions or terms of this 
Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the 
other provisions of this Agreement.

          SECTION 6.08.  INTENTION OF THE PARTIES.  The execution and 
delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgement by AFL and 
ARFC that they intend that the assignments and transfers herein contemplated 
pursuant to each Assignment Agreement constitute a sale and assignment 
outright, and not for security, of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed 
Property, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Liens, from AFL 
to ARFC, and that the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property shall not 
be a part of AFL's estate in the event of the bankruptcy, reorganization, 
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under 
any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the occurrence of another 
similar event, of, or with respect to, AFL.  In the event that such 
conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by ARFC, any 
Assignee or any Holders to AFL, the parties intend that AFL shall have 
granted to ARFC a security interest in all of AFL's right, title and interest 
in and to the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property conveyed pursuant 
to each Assignment Agreement, and that this Agreement shall constitute a 
security agreement under applicable law.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 6.09.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE 
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND 
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

          SECTION 6.10.  COUNTERPARTS.  For the purpose of facilitating the 
execution of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be 
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which 
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts 
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

          SECTION 6.11.  CONVEYANCE OF THE RECEIVABLES AND THE OTHER CONVEYED 
PROPERTY TO AN ASSIGNEE.  AFL acknowledges that ARFC intends, pursuant to a 
Servicing Agreement and other Related Document, to convey the Receivables and 
the Other Conveyed Property, together with its rights under this Agreement, 
to Assignees under Warehousing Documents and Securitization Documents.  AFL 
acknowledges and consents to such conveyance and waives any further notice 
thereof and covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of 
AFL contained in this Agreement and the rights of ARFC hereunder are intended 
to benefit each Security Insurer, each Assignee, each Collateral Agent and 
each Trustee on behalf of its Holders.  In furtherance of the foregoing, AFL 
covenants and agrees to perform its duties and obligations hereunder, in 
accordance with the terms hereof for the benefit of each Security Insurer, 
each Assignee, each Collateral Agent and each Trustee on behalf of its 
Holders and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, 
AFL shall be directly liable to each such Assignee (notwithstanding any 
failure by the Servicer, any Backup Servicer or ARFC to perform its duties 
and obligations hereunder or under any Servicing Agreement) and that each 
such Assignee or the related Security Insurer may enforce the duties and 
obligations of AFL under this Agreement against AFL for the benefit of the 
related Assignee.

          SECTION 6.12.  NONPETITION COVENANT.  AFL shall not petition or 
otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the 
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against ARFC under any federal or 
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, 
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar 
official of ARFC or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the 
winding up or liquidation of the affairs of ARFC.

                                  SCHEDULE B

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AFL


          1.   CHARACTERISTICS OF RECEIVABLES.  Each Receivable (A) was 
originated by AFL or by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in 
the ordinary course of such Dealer's business and such Dealer had all 
necessary licenses and permits to originate Receivables in the state where 
such Dealer was located, was fully and properly executed by the parties 
thereto, was purchased by AFL from such Dealer under an existing Dealer 
Agreement with AFL and was validly assigned by such Dealer to AFL, (B) 
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights 
and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the 
collateral security, and (C) is a fully amortizing Receivable which provides 
for level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first calendar 
month and the final calendar month of the life of the Receivable may be 
minimally different from the level payment) which, if made when due, shall 
fully amortize the Amount Financed over the original term.

          2.   NO FRAUD OR Misrepresentation.  Each Receivable was originated 
by AFL or by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to AFL without any fraud or 
misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.

          3.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  All requirements of applicable federal, 
state and local laws, and regulations thereunder (including, without 
limitation, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 
the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the 
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations "B" and 
"Z," the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, the Minnesota Motor 
Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act, and state adaptations of the National 
Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer 
credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws) in respect of 
all of the Receivables and each and every sale of Financed Vehicles, have 
been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the sale 
of the Financed Vehicle evidenced by each Receivable complied at the time it 
was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all 
applicable legal requirements.

          4.   ORIGINATION.  Each Receivable was originated in the United 
States.

          5.   BINDING OBLIGATION.  Each Receivable represents the genuine, 
legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, 
enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as 
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or 
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by 
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is 
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such Receivable may 
be modified by the application after its Cut-Off Date of the Soldiers' and 
Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended; and all parties to each 
Receivable had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and 
all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest 
purported to be granted thereby.

<PAGE>

          6.   NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGOR.  No Obligor is the United States of 
America or any State or any agency, department, subdivision or 
instrumentality thereof.

          7.   OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY.  At the applicable Cut-Off Date, no 
Obligor had been identified on the records of AFL as being the subject of a 
current bankruptcy proceeding.

          8.   SCHEDULE OF RECEIVABLES.  The information set forth in the 
most recent Schedule of Receivables delivered to an Assignee was true and 
correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the 
applicable Cut-Off Date.

          9.   MARKING RECORDS.  On each Assignment Date, the portions of the 
Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables assigned to ARFC on such date 
will be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables were 
sold to ARFC pursuant to this Agreement and each Assignment Agreement.  On 
each date on which Receivables are transferred by ARFC to an Assignee, AFL 
will cause the portion of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables 
to be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables were sold 
by ARFC to an Assignee under the terms of the relevant Related Document.

          10.  COMPUTER TAPE.  The Computer Tape, computer diskette or other 
electronic transmission made available by AFL to ARFC and its assignee on 
each Assignment Date was complete and accurate as of the applicable Cut-Off 
Date, and includes a description of the same Receivables that are described 
in the Schedule of Receivables.

          11.  ADVERSE SELECTION.  No selection procedures adverse to an 
Assignee or any Holders were utilized in selecting the Receivables from those 
receivables owned by AFL which met the selection criteria contained in such 
Related Document.

          12.  CHATTEL PAPER.  The Receivables constitute chattel paper 
within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Minnesota and New 
York.

          13.  ONE ORIGINAL.  There is only one original executed copy of 
each Receivable.

          14.  RECEIVABLE FILES COMPLETE.  On the applicable Assignment Date 
there exists a complete Receivable File for each Receivable transferred on 
such date, and such Receivable File is in the possession of the relevant 
Custodian on such Assignment Date.  A Receivable File pertaining to each 
Receivable will contain on the related Assignment Date (a) a fully executed 
original of the Receivable, (b) a certificate of insurance, application form 
for insurance signed by the Obligor or a signed representation letter from 
the Obligor named in the Receivable pursuant to which the Obligor has agreed 
to obtain physical damage insurance for the Financed Vehicle, or a documented 
verbal confirmation by an insurance agent for the Obligor of a policy number 
for an insurance policy for the Financed Vehicle, (c) the original Lien 
Certificate or application therefor or a letter from the applicable Dealer 
agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the related Receivable if the 
certificate of title is not received by AFL within 180 days, and (d) a credit 
application of the Obligor or a copy thereof.  Each of such documents 

<PAGE>

which is required to be signed by the Obligor will have been signed by the 
Obligor in the appropriate spaces.  All blanks on any form will have been 
properly filled in and each form will otherwise have been correctly prepared.

          15.  RECEIVABLES IN FORCE.  No Receivable has been satisfied, 
subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such 
Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in 
whole or in part.  No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered 
or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or 
documents identified in the Receivable File.  No Receivable has been modified 
as a result of application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 
1940, as amended.

          16.  LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT.  No Receivable was originated in, or is 
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction, the laws of which would make 
unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such 
Receivable under any Assignment Agreement, Servicing Agreement or other 
Related Document or pursuant to transfers of any Securities.

          17.  GOOD TITLE.  No Receivable has been sold, transferred, 
assigned or pledged by AFL to any Person other than ARFC unless the same was 
released prior to the transfer of such Receivable to ARFC; immediately prior 
to the conveyance of the Receivables to ARFC pursuant to any Assignment 
Agreement, AFL had good and indefeasible title thereto, free and clear of any 
Lien; and immediately upon the transfer thereof, ARFC shall have good and 
indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of each Receivable, free of 
any Lien, other than Liens created by ARFC pursuant to a Related Document.  
No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any 
Receivable.  AFL has not taken any action to convey any right to any Person 
that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under 
the related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements or Dealer 
Assignments or to payments due under such Receivables.

          18.  SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLE.  Each Receivable 
creates a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in 
favor of AFL in the Financed Vehicle.  The Lien Certificate and original 
certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or 
replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such 
Financed Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be received within 180 days of the 
related Assignment Date and will show, AFL named as the original secured 
party under each Receivable as the holder of a first priority security 
interest in such Financed Vehicle.  With respect to each Receivable for which 
the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, 
AFL has received written evidence from the related Dealer that such Lien 
Certificate showing AFL as first lienholder has been applied for, or a letter 
from the applicable Dealer agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the related 
Receivable if the certificate of title is not received within 180 days.  
AFL's security interest has been validly assigned by AFL to ARFC pursuant to 
the applicable Assignment Agreement.  Immediately after the sale, transfer 
and assignment thereof by ARFC to an Assignee, each Receivable will be 
secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in 
the Financed Vehicle in favor of such Assignee as secured party, which 
security interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security interests in 
such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created 
(except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting 
a Financed Vehicle).  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date there were no 

<PAGE>

Liens or claims for taxes, work, labor or materials affecting a Financed 
Vehicle which are or may be Liens prior or equal to the lien of the related 
Receivable.

          19.  ALL FILINGS MADE.  All filings (including, without limitation, 
UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be 
taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give ARFC a first 
priority perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the Receivables and the 
Other Conveyed Property have been made, taken or performed.

          20.  NO IMPAIRMENT.  AFL has not done anything to convey any right 
to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due 
under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of ARFC, any Assignee 
and the related Trustee on behalf of its Holders in any Receivable or the 
proceeds thereof.

          21.  RECEIVABLE NOT ASSUMABLE.  No Receivable is assumable by 
another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such 
Obligor's obligations to AFL with respect to such Receivable.

          22.  NO DEFENSES.  No Receivable is subject to any right of 
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been 
asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.

          23.  NO DEFAULT.  There has been no default, breach, violation or 
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than 
payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days), and no condition exists or 
event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or 
both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting 
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver 
of any of the foregoing.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Financed 
Vehicle has been repossessed.

          24.  INSURANCE.  As of the Assignment Date for the related 
Receivable, each Financed Vehicle is covered by a comprehensive and collision 
insurance policy (i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its 
maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor 
under the related Receivable, (ii) naming AFL as loss payee and (iii) 
insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, 
collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision 
coverage.  Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and 
damage insurance, naming AFL and its successors and assigns as additional 
insured parties, and each Receivable permits the holder thereof to obtain 
physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the 
Obligor fails to do so.  No Financed Vehicle was or had previously been 
insured under a policy of Force-Placed Insurance on the related Cut-Off Date.

          25.  PAST DUE.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Receivable 
was more than 30 days past due and no funds have been advanced by AFL, ARFC, 
the Servicer, any Dealer or anyone acting on behalf of any of them in order 
to cause any Receivable to satisfy such requirement.

<PAGE>

          26.  REMAINING PRINCIPAL BALANCE.  As of the applicable Cut-Off 
Date, each Receivable had a remaining principal balance equal to or greater 
than $500.00 and the Principal Balance of each Receivable set forth in the 
related Schedule of Receivables is true and accurate in all material respects.

          27.  ORIGINAL MATURITY.  Each Receivable, and the Receivables as a 
whole, had original maturities with the parameters represented and warranted 
to by ARFC in the related Warehousing Document or Securitization Document.  
If represented and warranted to by ARFC in the related Securitization 
Document or Warehousing Document, each Receivable with an original maturity 
of greater than 72 months is secured by a Financed Vehicle that is a new 
automobile or an automobile that is less than one year old.  If applicable, 
no more than the percentage specified in the applicable Warehousing Document 
or Securitization Document of the Receivables are Classic Receivables, or 
satisfy any other applicable categorization with respect to Receivable type.

          28.  COMPLIANCE WITH UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES.  Each Receivable was 
originated pursuant to AFL's underwriting standards which have not, without 
the prior written consent of any Person specified in a Related Document, been 
materially changed since the Effective Date.

          Section 2.1.   COMMITMENT.

          (a)    The Issuer agrees, on the terms of this Agreement, to make 
Advances for the account of the Seller by depositing the balance of the 
proceeds of such Advance in the Collection Account during the period from and 
including the Effective Date to but not including the earliest to occur of 
(x) the Insurer Notice Date, (y) the termination of the commitment pursuant 
to Section 2.7 hereof and (z) the first day of the Amortization Period, in an 
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Commitment Amount.  
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during such period the Seller may 
request Advances and prepay Advances without limitation, except that (i) each 
Advance and prepayment shall be in amounts of $7,000,000 or any amount in 
excess thereof, (ii) each request for an Advance shall comply with clause (c) 
below and each prepayment of an Advance shall comply with clause (e) below, 
and (iii) the Seller shall not be permitted to request an Advance if the

Advances and the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of the Receivables 
is greater than $5,000,000 (excluding any WAC Deficiency Deposits) (or such 
other amount as shall be agreed to in writing from time to time by the 
Seller, the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Security Insurer).  The 
Issuer agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the 
extent and only to the extent of funds available for release to the Seller 
for such purpose on deposit in the Collection Account, to purchase 
Receivables from the Seller from time to time during the period from and 
including the Effective Date to but excluding the earliest to occur of (q) 
the Insurer Notice Date, (r) the termination of the commitment pursuant to 
Section 2.7 hereof, and (s) the first day of the Amortization Period.

          (b)    On each Purchase Date, the Receivables shall be transferred

Collection Account for deposit to the Spread Account and payment to the 
Seller in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 4.10 of 
this Agreement and the Security Agreement.  On the Purchase Date for a 
Transaction hereunder, the Seller shall promptly deliver to the 
Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee and to the Indenture Trustee a 
written confirmation, in the form set forth in Exhibit E, of

                                       26

Receivables, identify the Issuer and the Seller, have the updated Receivables 
Schedule attached thereto and set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the 
Purchase Price, (iii) the Cut-Off Date, and (iv) any additional terms or 
conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent with this Agreement.  The 
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive 
evidence of the terms agreed between the Issuer and the Seller with respect 
to the transfer to which the Confirmation relates, unless with respect to the 
Confirmation specific objection is made promptly after receipt thereof. In 
the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and this 
Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.  The Receivables shall be identified 
on a detailed list provided by the Seller to the Issuer on each Purchase Date 
and Repurchase Date (the "Receivables Schedule") and may be identified in the 
related Confirmation by reference to such list.  Any release of funds from 
the Collection Account in connection with a purchase of Receivables shall not 
affect the outstanding principal balance of Advances.

and the Indenture Trustee notice of each request for an Advance by 12:00

for such Advance), which notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 
H attached hereto and which, except for CP Tranche Periods related to RCC,

Advance.  Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit H and shall be 
irrevocable unless a written revocation signed by a Responsible Officer of 
the Seller is received by the Issuer by the end of the day immediately 
preceding the day such Advance will be made and shall be effective only if 
received by the Issuer not later than 12:00 noon Minneapolis, Minnesota time 
on the date specified in the preceding sentence (or if such notice is for a 
same-day Advance, 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the date of the requested 
Advance).  Not later than 1:00 p.m., Minneapolis, Minnesota time, on the date 
specified for each Advance hereunder, the Issuer shall deposit the amount of 
such Advance in the Collection Account.

          (d)    On the Repurchase Date for any Receivables, such repurchase

against the transfer of the Repurchase Price therefor on behalf of the Issuer 
to the Collection Account.  On such Repurchase Date , the Issuer shall 
execute a written reconveyance substantially in the form of Exhibit G 
pursuant to which it shall reconvey to the Seller (without recourse, 
representation or warranty other than as to Liens created by the Issuer) all 
right, title and interest of the Issuer in such Receivables.  On any Business 
Day during the Revolving Period on which there has been since the preceding 
Business Day an amount greater than $5,000,000 on deposit in the Collection 
Account in excess of the WAC Deficiency Deposit, the Seller shall effect a 
prepayment of Advances pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof in an amount equal

than $5,000,000 and (y) the amount permitted to be prepaid pursuant to 
Section 2.1(e) hereof.  On a Repurchase Date specified in clause (v) of the 
definition of Repurchase Date herein, the Seller shall effect a repayment of 
Advances pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof, up to the outstanding principal 
balance of the Notes.

          (e)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Seller shall 
have the right to prepay Advances on any Business Day during the Revolving 
Period prior to a Recapitalization in

                                      27

<PAGE>

an amount equal to $5,000,000 or any amount in excess thereof.  In addition, 
the Seller shall be required to prepay Advances in the circumstances set 
forth in the third sentence or the last sentence of Section 2.1(d).  Any such 
prepayment shall include accrued and unpaid interest on the Advance at the 
Advance Interest Rate being prepaid through but excluding the date such 
Advance is prepaid.  By 12:00 noon, Minneapolis, Minnesota time, on the 
Business Day preceding the date on which the Seller proposes or is required 
to prepay Advances, the Seller shall notify the Issuer, the Administrative 
Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture 
Trustee and the Security Insurer of the amount of such prepayment, which 
amount shall be set forth in a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer 
of the Seller on such date of notice.  The Seller shall pay the Breakage Fee, 
if any, on such date of prepayment by paying to the Trustee for deposit into 
the Note Distribution Account an amount equal to such Breakage Fee (which 
amount may come from amounts otherwise distributable to the Seller on such 
date).  Any such prepayment (including interest in connection therewith but 
excluding the aforementioned Breakage Fee) shall be payable solely out of 
funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Spread Account and shall 
not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) on any date occurring during 
the period from but excluding a Determination Date through and including the 
related Distribution Date, an amount equal to the excess of the total amount 
on deposit in the Collection Account and the Spread Account on such date over 
the sum of (A) the amounts to be distributed on such Distribution Date 
pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 4.6(a) of this Agreement as 
set forth in a Servicer's Certificate delivered on such Determinaton Date, 
and (B) any increase in the WAC Deficiency Amount on such date, if any, above 
the WAC Deficiency Amount on such Determination Date, and (ii) an amount 
equal to the excess of the total amount on deposit in the Collection Account 
on such date over the WAC Deficiency Amounts, if any, on deposit in the 
Collection Account on such date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this 
Section 2.1(e) to the contrary, if the Breakage Fee is not paid in full on or 
before the date of any proposed prepayment, no such prepayment may occur.

          (f)    Prior to a Recapitalization, all outstanding Advances shall 
be due and payable by the Seller on the first day of the Amortization Period. 
 Unless otherwise paid by the Seller, such Advances shall be repaid by the 
Seller to the Issuer on each Distribution Date in the amounts specified for 
such repayment in Section 4.6.

          (g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Related 
Document to the contrary, the Security Insurer shall have the right in its 
absolute discretion to deliver a notice to the Seller, Issuer, each Agent, 
the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent specifying a date such that 
any Note Increase (as such term is defined in the Indenture) effected on or 
after the date so specified will not have the benefit of the Note Policy.

          Section 2.2.   SECURITY INTEREST.

          (a)    In the event, for any reason, any Transaction is construed

priority security interest in all of the Receivables and the other Seller 
Conveyed Property.

of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds.

Receivables and the related other Seller Conveyed Property shall be 
transferred to the Issuer against the simultaneous withdrawal of the Purchase 
Price from the Collection Account for payment to the Seller in accordance 
with and subject to the provisions hereof.  On each Purchase Date, the Seller 
hereby sells, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Issuer, all of 
the right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter acquired, of the 
Seller in and to all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel 
paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of

Agreement, the Seller, the Issuer and the other Secured Parties shall enter

     and otherwise such documents, if any, that AFL keeps on file in 
     accordance with its customary procedures indicating that the Financed 
     Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to the interest of AFL as 
     first lienholder or secured party (including any Lien Certificate 
     received by AFL), or if such original certificate of title has not yet 
     been received, a copy of the application therefor, showing AFL as 
     secured party, or a letter from the applicable Dealer agreeing 
     unconditionally to repurchase the related Receivable if the certificate 
     of title is not received by AFL within 180 days.

          Section 2.4.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER.  The 
Seller represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Security Issuer, and 
shall on and as of the Purchase Date of any Transaction be deemed to 
represent and warrant to such Persons, as follows:

          (a)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement 
     and the performance of each Transaction do not and will not result in or 
     require the creation of any lien, security interest or other charge or 
     encumbrance (other than pursuant hereto and pursuant to the other 
     Related Documents) upon or with respect to any of its properties.

          (b)    This Agreement is, and each Transaction when entered into 
     under this Agreement will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of 
     it enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (c)    The representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule 
     of Representations are true and correct with respect to the 
     Receivable(s) transferred in such Transaction.

          (d)    The Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing 
     as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of 
     Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct 
     its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is 
     currently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, power, 
     authority and legal right to acquire, own and sell the Receivables and 
     the other Seller Conveyed Property transferred to the Issuer.

          (e)    The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign 
     corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses 
     and approvals, in all jurisdictions in

                                          30

<PAGE>

     which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its 
     business requires such qualification.

          (f)    The Seller has the power and authority to execute and 
     deliver this Agreement and its Related Documents and to carry out its 
     terms and their terms, respectively; Seller has full power and authority 
     to sell and assign the Receivables and other the Seller Conveyed 
     Property to be sold and assigned to the Issuer and has duly authorized 
     such sale and assignment to the Issuer by all necessary corporate 
     action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement 
     and the Seller's Related Documents have been duly authorized by the 
     Seller by all necessary corporate action.

          (g)    This Agreement and the related Confirmation effects a valid 
     sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the other Seller 
     Conveyed Property, enforceable against the Seller and creditors of and 
     purchasers from the Seller; and this Agreement and the related 
     Confirmation and the Seller's Related Documents, when duly executed and 
     delivered, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the 
     Seller enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as 
     enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization 
     or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights 
     generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether 
     such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

          (h)    The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this 
     Agreement and the related Confirmations and the Related Documents and 
     the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the related 
     Confirmations and the Related Documents shall not conflict with, result 
     in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with 
     or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under the 
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any indenture, 
     agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the 
     Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or 
     imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms 
     of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other 
     instrument, other than this Agreement and the Related Documents, or 
     violate in any material respect any law, order, rule or regulation 
     applicable to the Seller of any court or of any federal or state 
     regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental 
     instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its 
     properties.

          (i)    There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to 
     the Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Seller or AFL, before any 
     court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or 
     governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its 
     properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the 
     Related Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or 
     the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this 
     Agreement or any of the Related Documents, or (C) seeking any 
     determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the 
     performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or 
     enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

          (j)    The chief executive office of the Seller is located at 7825 
     Washington Avenue South, Suite 900, Minneapolis, MN  55439-2435.

                                         31

<PAGE>

          (k)    All the issued common stock of the Seller is owned by AFL 
and such common stock is the only capital stock issued by the Seller.  
Pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, the Seller's business is 
limited to certain financing activities set forth in such certificate.

          (l)    The Seller does not commingle its assets or business 
functions with the assets or business functions of AFL or any other Person.  
The bank accounts and funds of the Seller are maintained separately from 
those of AFL and all other Affiliates of AFL.  The board of directors of the 
Seller duly authorizes all the corporate actions of the Seller, to the extent 
required by the laws of its state of incorporation.  The Seller maintains its 
own separate minutes of such actions.  The Seller maintains separate and full 
corporate records and financial records for itself only and has at least one 
director who is not an Affiliate or director of or employed by AFL or any 
other Affiliate of AFL.  As of the date hereof, the Seller does not have 
employees and, in the event that it hires employees in the future, the Seller 
will not employ any person employed by AFL or by any AFL Affiliate.

          (m)    The financial records and accounts of the Seller are 
prepared and maintained in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to audit.

          (n)    The Seller conducts its business solely in its own name.  In 
that regard, all written and oral communications, including, without 
limitation, letters, invoices, purchase orders and contracts, are made solely 
in the name of the Seller.  The Seller has its own telephone number, 
stationery and business forms, separate from those of AFL and any other AFL 
Affiliate.

          (o)    The Seller pays its own expenses and liabilities from its 
own funds, except that certain of the organization expenses of the Seller 
have been paid by AFL.  That payment serves a valid business purpose and will 
not affect the commitment of AFL and the Seller to maintain separate books of 
account and other indicia of separate corporate existence.  The 
capitalization of the Seller is adequate in light of its proposed business 
and purpose.

          (p)    The Seller is not liable for the payment of any liability of 
AFL. The assets and the creditworthiness of the Seller are never held out as 
being available for the payment of any liability of AFL.  The Seller always 
describes AFL as a separate legal entity.  Each of AFL and the Seller 
maintains an arm's length relationship with the other.  No transaction 
between the Seller and any AFL Affiliate is on terms more favorable than in 
similar transactions involving an unrelated third party.  Assets are not 
transferred from AFL or the Seller to the other without reasonably equivalent 
value or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the creditors of AFL or 
the Seller.  The Seller's existence is not dependent on its being a 
subsidiary of AFL or any other AFL Affiliate.

          (q)    The Seller has not transferred any Receivables with the 
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person.  AFL receives reasonably 
equivalent value in exchange for its transfer of Receivables to the Seller.  
Neither AFL nor the Seller is insolvent nor does AFL or the Seller expect to 
become insolvent as a result of any transfer of Receivables.  Neither AFL nor 
the Seller engages in nor does it expect to engage in a business for 

                                       32

<PAGE>

which its remaining property represents an unreasonably small capitalization. 
Neither AFL nor the Seller intends to incur nor does it believe that it will 
incur indebtedness that it will not be able to repay at its maturity.

          (r)    The Seller does not intend to file a voluntary petition for 
relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law.

          (s)    The Seller is not obligated in any way on the Receivables.

          (t)    The Seller has not taken any action that might cause any 
Transaction to violate any regulation of the FRB.

          Section 2.5.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  In the event that:

          (a)    the Seller fails to repurchase or the Issuer fails to 
transfer Receivables upon the applicable Repurchase Date or the Issuer fails 
to make an Advance in accordance with the provisions hereof, and in each case 
such failure continues for two Business Days;

          (b)    an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to the Seller, AFL 
or the Issuer;

          (c)    any representation or warranty made by the Seller or AFL in 
this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement (excluding, however, any 
representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.4(c) hereof or Section 
3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement), the Custodian Agreement, the Insurance 
Agreement, the Spread Account Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Note 
Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement shall have been incorrect or 
untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or when deemed to have 
been made or repeated; or either the Seller or AFL shall fail to comply in 
any material respect with any of their other agreements contained in this 
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread 
Account Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement or the 
Trust Agreement not defined elsewhere in this Section 2.5 as an "Event of 
Default" and in such later case such failure to comply shall continue 
unremedied for a period of 10 days after written notice thereof to the Seller 
by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent;

          (d)    the Seller or the Issuer shall admit to the other its 
inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations 
hereunder;

          (e)    any governmental or self-regulatory authority shall take 
possession of the Issuer, the Seller or AFL or their property or appoint any 
receiver, conservator or other official or, with respect to the Seller or 
AFL, shall take any action to remove, limit, restrict, suspend or terminate 
their rights or privileges, including suspension as an issuer, lender or 
seller/servicer of automobile loans, which suspension has a material adverse 
effect on the ordinary business operations of the Seller or AFL, and which 
continues for more than 24 hours; or any such party shall take any action to 
authorize any of the actions set forth in this clause (e);

          (f)    this Agreement shall for any reason cease to create a valid, 
first priority security interest in any of the Receivables purported to be 
covered hereby;

                                       33

<PAGE>

          (g)    a final judgment by any competent court in the United States 
of America for the payment of money in an amount of at least $50,000 is 
rendered against the Seller or such a judgment in an amount of at least 
$5,000,000 is rendered against AFL, and the same remains undischarged for a 
period of 60 days unless execution of such judgment is effectively stayed;

          (h)    the Seller or AFL dissolves, merges or consolidates with 
another entity unless it is the surviving party, or sells, transfers, or 
otherwise disposes of a material portion of its business or assets (excluding 
the sale, transfer or other disposition of Receivables in the ordinary course 
of business) and the surviving party or the party that succeeds to a material 
portion of the Seller's or AFL's business or assets shall cause BofA or 
Morgan or any Affiliate of BofA or Morgan or any Permitted Assignee (as 
defined in the Indenture) to exceed its legal lending limit with respect to 
such party or any of its Affiliates;

          (i)    any of the documents or opinions required to be delivered by 
the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof shall not have been 
delivered within ten Business Days after notice shall have been given to the 
Seller by the Issuer that such documents or opinions were not delivered when 
so required;

          (j)    the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of 
$5,000,000 of AFL or a Subsidiary shall be accelerated, or AFL or a 
Subsidiary shall fail to pay any such Indebtedness when due, or, in the case 
of such Indebtedness payable on demand, when demanded, or there shall occur 
any default or event or condition permitting the replacement of AFL or any 
Subsidiary as Servicer under any Auto Loan Securitization of AFL or any 
Subsidiary;

          (k)    it shall be determined on any Determination Date that the 
Collateral Test shall fail to have been satisfied as of the immediately 
preceding Accounting Date, after taking into account any deposit made by the 
Seller to the Collection Account on such Determination Date, and such failure 
shall continue for one Business Day;

          (l)    an Insurance Agreement Event of Default shall occur;

          (m)    a Servicer Termination Event shall occur;

          (n)    the Seller shall fail to make a deposit with respect to any 
WAC Deficiency Amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(f), 
and such failure shall continue for one Business Day; or

          (o)    after the occurrence of a Recapitalization, there shall fail 
to be a Securitized Offering within one year of the later to occur of (x) the 
last Repurchase Date on which all of the Receivables then owned by the Issuer 
were repurchased by the Seller and (y) the latest date on which a Securitized 
Offering has occurred;

(each an "Event of Default").

          Section 2.6.   REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.  If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

          (a)    At the option of the Seller, if the Issuer is the defaulting 
party (it being understood that the Issuer shall be deemed to be the 
defaulting party only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in 
Section 2.5(a), (b), (d) or (e) with respect to the Issuer), or if the Seller 
is the defaulting party, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of both 
Agents), exercised by written notice to the other party, as the case may be 
(which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is 
given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency or the 
occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default which the Security 
Insurer specifies in writing shall have such effect), the Repurchase Date for 
each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately to occur or, if a 
Recapitalization has occurred, the Amortization Date shall be deemed 
immediately to occur and, in either case, if the Seller is the defaulting 
party, all outstanding Advances shall be and become immediately due and 
payable hereunder without notice or any further action; provided, that from 
and after a Recapitalization, the Seller shall have no liability to repay the 
Advances, which shall be payable solely from the Collateral.

          (b)    If the defaulting party is the Seller and if the Issuer or 
the Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option 
referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section, (i) prior to a 
Recapitalization, the Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all 
Receivables shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, and (ii) the 
Seller shall immediately deliver to the Issuer any Receivables subject to 
such Transactions then in the Seller's custody or possession.

          (c)    Prior to a Recapitalization, if the defaulting party is the 
Issuer, the Seller may, against transfer to the Seller of the Receivables, 
tender payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price for all of the Receivables, 
whereupon the Issuer's right, title and interest in all of the Receivables 
shall be deemed transferred to the Seller.

          (d)    If the defaulting party is the Seller or if an Event of 
Default specified in Section 2.5(o) shall occur, after one Business Day's 
notice to the Seller (which notice need not be given if an Act of Insolvency 
shall have occurred and which may be the notice given under subparagraph (a) 
of this Section), the Controlling Party, as agent of the Issuer, may exercise 
any or all of the remedies provided for in Sections 5.2 and 6.1 of the 
Security Agreement.

          (e)    For purposes of this Section 2.6, the Repurchase Price for 
each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is the 
Issuer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such 
Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by 
the Seller of its option under paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (f)    The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting 
party for the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by 
the nondefaulting party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of 
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Reference Rate.

                                       35

<PAGE>

          (g)    Each of the Issuer and the Seller agree to provide the 
Rating Agencies with written notice of any Event of Default of which they 
have actual acknowledge.

          Section 2.7.   TERM OF COMMITMENT.  Unless terminated earlier by 
mutual agreement of the Issuer and the Seller with prior written notice to 
each Rating Agency and subject to earlier termination as otherwise set forth 
herein, the commitment of the Issuer hereunder to make Advances and purchase 
Receivables shall remain in effect for a period of one year after the 
Effective Date and such commitment shall terminate automatically without any 
requirement for notice on the date occurring three years from the date 
hereof; provided, however, that such commitment may be extended by mutual 
agreement of the Issuer and the Seller; and provided further, however, that 
no such party shall be obligated to agree to such an extension.

          Section 2.8.   REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY. 
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each 
Confirmation, as appropriate, AFL and the Seller have entered into the 
Purchase Agreement and an Assignment Agreement, as applicable, the rights of 
the Seller under which have been assigned by the Seller to the Issuer.  Under 
the Purchase Agreement and each Assignment Agreement, AFL has made the same 
representations and warranties to the Seller with respect to the Receivables 
as those made by the Seller pursuant to the Schedule of Representations, upon 
which the Issuer has relied in accepting the Receivables and the other Seller 
Conveyed Property and issuing the Notes and upon which the Security Insurer 
has relied in issuing the Note Policy and upon which the Indenture Trustee 
has relied in authenticating the Notes.  Upon discovery by any of AFL, the 
Seller, the Servicer, the Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the 
Issuer of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in 
Section 2.4(c) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the 
Issuer, the Security Insurer or the Noteholders in any Receivable (including 
any Liquidated Receivable), the party discovering such breach shall give 
prompt written notice to the others; provided, however, that the failure to 
give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of AFL or the Seller.  
On the 15th day following the Seller's discovery or the Seller's receipt of 
notice of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth on the 
Schedule of Representations that materially and adversely affects the 
interests of the Issuer, the Security Insurer or the Noteholders in any 
Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable), the Repurchase Date with 
respect to such Receivable shall be deemed to occur immediately; provided, 
that any breach of a representation and warranty contained in Paragraph 14, 
17 or 27 of the Schedule of Representations with respect to any Receivable 
shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Issuer 
in such Receiable and the Repurchase Date with respect to such Receivable 
shall be deemed to occur on, with respect to a breach of a representation or 
warranty contained in paragraph 14, the Business Day immediately succeeding 
the day and, with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty 
contained in paragraph 17 or 27, on the fifth Business Day immediately 
succeeding the day upon which, in either case, discovery or receipt of notice 
of any breach of such representation and warranty shall occur.  The 
obligations of the Seller with respect to any such breach of representations 
and warranties shall include taking any and all actions necessary to enable 
the Issuer to enforce directly the obligations of AFL under the Purchase 
Agreement or any Assignment Agreement, as applicable.  In addition to the 
foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivables shall have been 
repurchased by the Seller, the Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the 
Security Insurer, the Agents, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee and the 
Indenture Trustee against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and 
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be 

                                       36

<PAGE>

asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims 
arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach.

          Section 2.9.   OPINIONS OF COUNSEL.  The Seller shall, on the date 
hereof and, upon the request of the Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the 
Security Insurer, no more than once each calendar year, cause to be delivered 
to the Issuer, the Agent and the Security Insurer, with reliance thereon 
permitted as to any person or entity that is granted a pledge of the 
Receivables and the other Seller Conveyed Property, a favorable opinion or 
opinions of counsel with respect to the matters set forth in Exhibit D 
hereto, in form and substance acceptable to the Issuer.

          Section 2.10.  ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS.

          (a)    Prior to entering into the initial Transaction under this 
Agreement, each of the Trust Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Security

Indenture and the Custodian Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Issuer 
shall have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto.

          (b)    On or before the date of delivery of this Agreement, the

                 (iii)   the Seller shall have taken any action requested by the
     Issuer to maintain the first perfected security interest of the Issuer in

notice to the Rating Agencies, amend its certificate of incorporation.

                    ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

          Section 3.1.   DUTIES OF THE SERVICER.  The Servicer is hereby 
authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and the Seller and in such capacity 
shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, 
and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement.  
The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried 
out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions which 
service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent 
more exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises 
from time to time with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables 
that it services for itself or others.  In performing such duties, so long as 
AFL is the Servicer, it shall comply with the policies and procedures 
attached hereto as Exhibit A and will not change the manner in which it 
services the Receivables if such change could have a material adverse effect 
on the Receivables.  The Servicer's duties shall include, without limitation, 
collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors 
on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to 
Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, policing the 
collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, accounting for 
collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Issuer, the 
Agents, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer with respect to 
distributions, monitoring the status of Insurance Policies with respect to 
the Financed Vehicles and performing the other duties specified herein.  The 
Servicer shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of 
the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer Agreements (and 
shall maintain possession of the Dealer Agreements, to the extent it is 
necessary to do so), the Dealer Assignments and the Insurance Policies, to 
the extent that such Dealer Agreements, Dealer Assignments and Insurance 
Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors.  
To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures 
otherwise required hereby, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, 
policies, and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting 
alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, 
administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable.  
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby 
authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver, on behalf of 
the Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of 
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, 
with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles; 
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall 
not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, 
release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or 
waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the 
Obligor, except that the Servicer may forego collection efforts if the amount 
subject to collection is DE MINIMIS and if it would forego collection in 
accordance with its customary procedures.  The Servicer is hereby authorized 
to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer (provided the 
Servicer has obtained the Issuer's consent, which consent shall not be 
unreasonably withheld), a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant 
to Section 3.3 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding 
(including, without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or 
involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.  If the Servicer 
commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the 
Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such 
Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating 
in any such proceeding as a 

                                       39
<PAGE>

party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer 
to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, 
complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in 
connection with any such proceeding.  The Issuer shall furnish the Servicer 
with any powers of attorney and other documents which the Servicer may 
reasonably request and which the Servicer deems necessary or appropriate and 
take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to 
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties 
under this Agreement.

          Section 3.2.   COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS; MODIFICATIONS OF
RECEIVABLES; LOCKBOX AGREEMENTS.

          (a)    Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures
required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automobile
receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect
to the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance
Policies and the other Seller Conveyed Property in such manner as will, in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the
Issuer with respect thereto.  The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to
waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that
may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

          (b)    The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification or
amendment of a Receivable in order to (i) change the Obligor's regular due date
to another date within the Monthly Period in which such due date occurs, (ii)
re-amortize the scheduled payments on the Receivable following a partial
prepayment of principal or (iii) subject to the limitation specified in the next
sentence, grant extensions on a Receivable, provided that the aggregate period
of all extensions on a Receivable shall not exceed three months.  The aggregate
Principal Balance of Receivables which have been extended during any calendar
quarter shall not exceed the greater of (A) $500,000 and (B) 1.5% of the
Aggregate Principal Balance as of the Accounting Date immediately prior to the
first day of such calendar quarter.

          (c)    The Servicer may grant payment extensions on, or other
modifications or amendments to, a Receivable (in addition to those modifications
permitted by Section 3.2(b)) in accordance with its customary procedures if the
Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment
is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to
be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in
the best interests of the Issuer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:

          (i)    In no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the Monthly
     Period immediately preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date;

          (ii)   So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
     continuing, the Servicer shall not amend or modify a Receivable (except as
     provided in Section 3.2(b)) without the consent of the Security Insurer;
     and


                                      40
<PAGE>

          (iii)  If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
     the Servicer may not extend or modify any Receivable (other than as
     permitted by Section 3.2(b)).

          (d)    The Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause Obligors to
make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by direct debit of the
Obligor's bank account, to be made directly to one or more Lockbox Banks, acting
as agent for the Collateral Agent pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement.  Amounts
received by a Lockbox Bank in respect of the Receivables may initially be
deposited into a demand deposit account maintained by the Lockbox Bank as agent
for the Collateral Agent and for other owners of automobile receivables serviced
by the Servicer.  The Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause any Lockbox
Bank to deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox Account no later
than the Business Day after receipt, and to cause all amounts credited to the
Lockbox Account on account of such payments to be transferred to the Collection
Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt of such payments.
The Lockbox Account shall be a demand deposit account held by the Lockbox Bank,
or at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Security Insurer (unless an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) an Eligible Account
satisfying clause (i) of the definition thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not
be liable for any actions or omissions of the Lockbox Bank.

          Prior to each Purchase Date, the Servicer shall have notified each
Obligor that makes its payments on the Receivables being transferred to the
Issuer on such date by check to make such payments thereafter directly to the
Lockbox Bank (except in the case of Obligors that have already been making such
payments to the Lockbox Bank), and shall provide each such Obligor with respect
to the Receivables with monthly invoices, in each case in order to enable such
Obligors to make such payments directly to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the
Lockbox Account, and the Servicer will continue, not less often than every three
months, to so notify those Obligors who have failed to make payments to the
Lockbox Bank.  If and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), the Servicer shall request each Obligor that makes payment on the
Receivables by direct debit of such Obligor's bank account to execute an
authorization for automatic payment which in the judgment of the Security
Insurer is sufficient to authorize direct debit by the Lockbox Bank on behalf of
the Issuer.  If at any time the Lockbox Bank is unable to directly debit an
Obligor's bank account that makes payment on the Receivables by direct debit and
if such inability is not cured within 15 days or cannot be cured by execution by
the Obligor of a new authorization for automatic payment, the Servicer shall
notify such Obligor that it cannot make payment by direct debit and must
thereafter make payment by check.

          Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
Noteholders for servicing and administering the Receivables and the other Seller
Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

          In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be acting as
such, the successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Agreement.  In such
event, the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
outgoing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing 


                                      41
<PAGE>

Servicer as a party to each such Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if 
such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except 
that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or 
obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under 
such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the 
Administrative Agent, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to 
the successor Servicer all documents and records relating to each such 
Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the 
Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and 
efficient transfer of any Lockbox Agreement to the successor Servicer.  In 
the event that the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not 
have occurred and be continuing) or the Administrative Agent (if an Insurer 
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) elects to change the identity 
of the Lockbox Bank, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the 
Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Security Insurer (so long as 
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) or the 
Administrative Agent (if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be 
continuing) to the Administrative Agent or a successor Lockbox Bank, all 
documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or 
thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such 
amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and 
efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and the Servicer shall notify 
the Obligors to make payments to the Lockbox Account established by the 
successor.

          (e)    The Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the
Obligors received directly by the Servicer to the Collection Account or the
Lockbox Account for deposit into the Collection Account as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof.

          Section 3.3.   REALIZATION UPON RECEIVABLES.

          (a)    Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures
required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess
(or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed
Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has determined
that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable
after default on such Receivable but in no event later than the date on which
all or any portion of a Scheduled Payment has become 91 days delinquent.  The
Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it
shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required
by Section 3.1, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to
realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle
at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy
and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable.
The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the
Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds
in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed
Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair or
repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.  All amounts
received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by
the Servicer to the Collection Account or the Lockbox Account for deposit into
the Collection Account without deposit into any intervening account as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof.
The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it
in the course of 


                                      42
<PAGE>

repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only 
out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained 
from the Obligor or an amounts received from the related Dealer, which 
amounts may be retained by the Servicer (and shall not be required to be 
deposited as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the extent of such expenses. The 
Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Issuer any personal property taxes 
assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles; the Servicer shall be entitled to 
reimbursement of any such tax from Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such 
Receivable.

          (b)    If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to
enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the act of commencement shall
be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Issuer to the Servicer of the
rights under such Dealer Agreement and Dealer Assignment for purposes of
collection only.  If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it
is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer
Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person
entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the Issuer, at
the Servicer's expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's expense, shall take such
steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer
Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Seller or of
the Issuer and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  All
amounts recovered shall be remitted directly by the Servicer as provided in
Section 3.2(e).

          Section 3.4.   INSURANCE.

          (a)    The Servicer shall require that each Financed Vehicle be
insured by the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 24 of the Schedule of
Representations and shall monitor the status of such comprehensive and collision
insurance coverage thereafter, in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures.  Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such comprehensive
and collision insurance, naming AFL and its successors and assigns as additional
insureds, and permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain comprehensive and
collision insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to
maintain such insurance.  If the Servicer shall determine that an Obligor has
failed to obtain or maintain a comprehensive and collision Insurance Policy
covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions set forth
in such Paragraph 24 (including, without limitation, during the repossession of
such Financed Vehicle) the Servicer shall enforce the rights of the holder of
the Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such
comprehensive and collision insurance.

          (b)    The Servicer may, if an Obligor fails to obtain or maintain a
comprehensive and collision Insurance Policy, obtain insurance with respect to
the related Financed Vehicle and advance on behalf of such Obligor, as required
under the terms of the insurance policy, the premiums for such insurance (such
insurance being referred to herein as "Force-Placed Insurance").  All policies
of Force-Placed Insurance shall be endorsed with clauses providing for loss
payable to the Issuer.  Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such
Force-Placed Insurance shall only be recoverable out of premiums paid by the
Obligors or Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Receivable, as provided in
Section 3.4(c).

          (c)    In connection with any Force-Placed Insurance obtained
hereunder, AFL may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
require the Obligors to repay 


                                      43
<PAGE>

the entire premium to AFL.  In no event shall AFL include the amount of the 
premium in the Amount Financed under the Receivable. For all purposes of this 
Agreement, the Insurance Add-on Amount with respect to any Receivable having 
Force-Placed Insurance will be treated as a separate obligation of the 
Obligor and will not be added to the Principal Balance of such Receivable, 
and amounts allocable thereto will not be available for distribution on the 
Notes.  AFL shall retain and separately administer the right to receive 
payments from Obligors with respect to Insurance Add-on Amounts or rebates of 
Forced-Placed Insurance premiums.  If an Obligor makes a payment with respect 
to a Receivable having Force-Placed Insurance, but AFL is unable to determine 
whether the payment is allocable to the Receivable or to the Insurance Add-on 
Amount, the payment shall be applied first to any unpaid Scheduled Payments 
and then to the Insurance Add-on Amount.  Liquidation Proceeds on any 
Receivable will be used first to pay the Principal Balance and accrued 
interest on such Receivable and then to pay the related Insurance Add-on 
Amount.  If an Obligor under a Receivable with respect to which AFL has 
placed Force-Placed Insurance fails to make scheduled payments of such 
Insurance Add-on Amount as due, and AFL has determined that eventual payment 
of the Insurance Add-on Amount is unlikely, AFL may, but shall not be 
required to, purchase such Receivable from the Issuer for the Purchase Amount 
on any subsequent Deposit Date.  Any such Receivable, and any Receivable with 
respect to which AFL has placed Force-Placed Insurance which has been paid in 
full (excluding any Insurance Add-on Amounts) will be assigned to AFL.

          (d)    The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Insurance
Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Issuer.  If the
Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance Policy,
the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the
rights of the Issuer under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of
collection only.  If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is
held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that
it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance
Policy, the Issuer, on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
at the Servicer's expense, or the Seller, at the Seller's expense, shall take
such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy,
including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer and the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

          Section 3.5.   MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES.

          (a)    Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this 
Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain 
perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related 
Financed Vehicle on behalf of the Issuer, including but not limited to 
obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, 
filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security 
agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary 
to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the 
respective Receivables.  The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the 
Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such 
security interest on behalf of the Issuer as necessary because of the 
relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.  In the event that 
the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a 
notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or without 
fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the 
state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security 
interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer 


                                      44
<PAGE>

hereby agrees that the Servicer's designation as the secured party on the 
certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.

          (b)    Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of 
Default, the Security Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall not 
have occurred and be continuing) instruct the Issuer and the Servicer to take 
or cause to be taken, or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred, upon the 
occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Issuer and the Servicer shall 
take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to 
the Security Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be 
continuing, counsel to the Administrative Agent), be necessary to perfect or 
reperfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the 
Receivables in the name of the Issuer by amending the title documents of such 
Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of 
counsel to the Security Insurer or the Agent (as applicable), be necessary or 
prudent.  AFL hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or 
reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor.  In addition, prior 
to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, the Security 
Insurer may (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) 
instruct the Issuer and the Servicer to take or cause to be taken such action 
as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer, be necessary to 
perfect or re-perfect the security interest in the Financed Vehicles 
underlying the Receivables in the name of the Issuer, including by amending 
the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable 
means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer, be necessary 
or prudent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (unless an Insurer Default shall have 
occurred and be continuing) if the Security Insurer requests that the title 
documents be amended prior to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event 
of Default, the out-of-pocket expenses of the Servicer or the Issuer in 
connection with such action shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or the 
Issuer, as applicable, by the Security Insurer.

          Section 3.6.   COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES OF SERVICER.
By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the
following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Issuer relies
in purchasing the Receivables and issuing the Notes, on which the Indenture
Trustee relies in authenticating the Notes and on which the Security Insurer
relies in issuing the Note Policy.

          (a)    The Servicer covenants as follows:

                 (i)     LIENS IN FORCE.  The Financed Vehicle securing each
     Receivable shall not be released in whole or in part from the security
     interest granted by the related Obligor, except upon payment in full of the
     Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein;

                 (ii)    NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Servicer shall do nothing to impair
     the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders in the Receivables, the Dealer
     Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance Policies or the other
     Seller Conveyed Property; and

                 (iii)   NO AMENDMENTS.  The Servicer shall not extend or
     otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with
     Section 3.2.


                                      45
<PAGE>

          (b)    The Servicer represents, warrants and covenants as of the
Closing Date as to itself:

          (i)    ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING.  The Servicer has been duly
     organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
     its jurisdiction of organization, with power, authority and legal right to
     own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are
     currently owned and such business is currently conducted, and had at all
     relevant times, and now has, power, authority and legal right to enter into
     and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

          (ii)   DUE QUALIFICATION.  The Servicer is duly qualified to do
     business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all
     necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the
     ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including
     the servicing of the Receivables as required by this Agreement) requires or
     shall require such qualification, if the failure to be so qualified would
     have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to perform
     its obligations hereunder or on the enforceability of any Receivable.

          (iii)  POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Servicer has the power and authority
     to execute and deliver this Agreement and its Related Documents and to
     carry out its terms and their terms, respectively, and the execution,
     delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Servicer's Related
     Documents have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary
     corporate action;

          (iv)   BINDING OBLIGATION.  This Agreement and the Servicer's Related
     Documents shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
     Servicer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
     enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or
     other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
     and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies,
     regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law;

          (v)    NO VIOLATION.  The consummation of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement and the Servicer's Related Documents, and
     the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer's Related
     Documents, shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
     terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of
     time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
     Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
     instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or
     result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties
     pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of
     trust or other instrument, other than this Agreement, or violate any law,
     order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any
     federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
     governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any
     of its properties;

          (vi)   NO PROCEEDINGS.  There are no proceedings or investigations

      body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental 
      instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties 
      (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the Related 
      Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the 
      consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 
      or any of the Related Documents, or (C) seeking any determination or 
      ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by 
      the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or 
      enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or 
      (D) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other 
      federal, state or local tax attributes of the Notes; and

          (vii)  NO CONSENTS.  The Servicer is not required to obtain the
     consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
     authorization, or registration or declaration with, any governmental
     authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery,
     performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

          Section 3.7.   PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF COVENANT.  Upon
discovery by any of the Servicer, the Security Insurer, the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections
3.5(a) or 3.6(a), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer.  As of the second
Accounting Date following its discovery or receipt of notice of any breach of
any covenant set forth in Sections 3.5(a) or 3.6(a) which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, the Issuer or the Security
Insurer in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) (or, at the
Servicer's election, the first Accounting Date so following), the Servicer
shall, unless it shall have cured such breach in all material respects, purchase
from the Issuer the Receivable affected by such breach and, on the related
Deposit Date, the Servicer shall pay the related Purchase Amount.  It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any
Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled,
constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to the
Security Insurer, the Noteholders, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on behalf
of Noteholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer,
the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Security Insurer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as
a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to
such breach.

          Section 3.8.   TOTAL SERVICING FEE; PAYMENT OF CERTAIN EXPENSES BY
SERVICER.  On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive
out of the Collection Account the Basic Servicing Fee and any Supplemental
Servicing Fee for the related Monthly Period pursuant to Section 4.6.  The
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer,
expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Noteholders
and the Security Insurer and all other fees and expenses of the Issuer,
including claims against the Issuer in respect of indemnification, unless such
fees, expenses or claims in respect of indemnification are expressly stated to
be for the account of AFL or not to be for the account of the Servicer).  The
Servicer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the 


                                      47
<PAGE>

Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Lockbox Bank (and 
any fees under the Lockbox Agreement) and the Independent Accountants.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be AFL, a successor 
to AFL as Servicer permitted by Section 5.2 or an Affiliate of any of the 
foregoing, such Servicer shall not be liable for claims against the Issuer in 
respect of indemnification.

          Section 3.9.   SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE.  No later than 5:00 p.m.  New
York City time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Issuer, each Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Security
Insurer and the Collateral Agent, a Servicer's Certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer containing, among other things, (i) all
information available as of such date necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee
to make the distributions required by Section 4.6 and to determine the amount to

the related Monthly Period for Monthly Advances, (ii) all information available
as of such date necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to send the statements

purchased or repurchased and (iv) all information available as of such date
necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to reconcile all deposits to, and
withdrawals from, the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period and
Distribution Date, including the accounting required by compliance with the
Collateral Test.  Receivables purchased by the Servicer or by the Seller or AFL
on the related Deposit Date and each Receivable which became a Liquidated
Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Monthly Period shall be
identified by account number (as set forth in the Receivables Schedule).

performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
and (ii) to such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period, or,

thereof.

          (b)    The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, each Agent, the

Indenture Trustee, the Backup

          Section 3.11.  ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT.

          (a)    The Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized
independent certified public accountants (the "Independent Accountants"), who

the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, each Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Security
Insurer, the Collateral Agent and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31 (or

of each year, beginning on March 31, 1997, with respect to the twelve months
ended the immediately preceding December 31 (or other applicable date) (or such
other period as shall have elapsed from the Closing Date to the date of such
certificate), a statement (the "Accountant's Report") addressed to the Board of
Directors of the Servicer, to the Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup
Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Security Insurer, to the effect that such
firm has audited the financial statements of the Servicer and issued its report
thereon and that such audit (1) was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in
the circumstances; (2) included an examination of documents and records relating
to the servicing of automobile installment sales contracts under pooling and
servicing agreements, sale and servicing agreements and warehousing agreements
substantially similar one to another (such statement to have attached thereto a
schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements and sale and
servicing agreements covered thereby, including this Agreement); (3) included an
examination of the delinquency and loss statistics relating to the Servicer's
portfolio of automobile installment sales contracts; and (4) except as described
in the statement, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to
automobile and light truck loans serviced for others that, in the firm's
opinion, generally accepted auditing standards requires such firm to report.
The Accountants' Report shall further state that (1) a review in accordance with
agreed upon procedures was made of three randomly selected Servicer's
Certificates for each such pooling and servicing agreement, sale and servicing
agreement or warehousing agreements and (2) except as disclosed in the
Accountant's Report, no exceptions or errors in the Servicer's Certificates so
examined were found.

          (b)    The Accountants' Report shall also indicate that the firm is
independent of the Seller and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

          (c)    A copy of the Accountants' Report may be obtained by any
Noteholder by a request in writing to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the
Corporate Trust Office.

          Section 3.12.  ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION
REGARDING RECEIVABLES.  The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, either Agent, the
Backup Servicer and the Security Insurer reasonable access to the documentation

                                       49

<PAGE>

access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and 
during normal business hours and on a date not more than two Business Days 
after the date of such request.  Nothing in this Section shall derogate from 
the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting 
disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the 
Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such 
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

          Section 3.13.  MONTHLY TAPE.

          (a)    On or before the third Business Day, but in no event later
than the fifth calendar day, of each month, the Servicer will deliver to the
Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer a computer tape or a diskette (or any
other electronic transmission acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup
Servicer) in a format acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup
Servicer containing the information with respect to the Receivables as of the
preceding Accounting Date necessary for preparation of the Servicer's
Certificate relating to the immediately succeeding Determination Date and
necessary to determine the application of collections as provided in Section
4.3.  The Backup Servicer shall use such tape or diskette (or other electronic
transmission acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer) to
verify the Servicer's Certificate delivered by the Servicer, and the Backup
Servicer shall certify to the Security Insurer and the Administrative Agent that
it has verified the Servicer's Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.13
and shall notify the Servicer, the Security Insurer and the Administrative Agent
of any discrepancies, in each case, on or before the second Business Day
following the Determination Date.  In the event that the Backup Servicer reports
any discrepancies, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt to
reconcile such discrepancies prior to the related Deficiency Claim Date, but in
the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer's Certificate shall control for
the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the related
Distribution Date.  In the event that the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are
unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer's Certificate by
the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause the Independent
Accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the Servicer's Certificate and,
prior to the third Business Day, but in no event later than the fifth calendar
day, of the following month, reconcile the discrepancies.  The effect, if any,
of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Servicer's Certificate for such
next succeeding Determination Date.  In addition, the Servicer shall, if so
requested by the Administrative Agent or the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) deliver to the Backup Servicer
its Collection Records and its Monthly Records within one Business Day of demand
therefor and a computer tape containing as of the close of business on the date
of demand all of the data maintained by the Servicer in computer format in
connection with servicing the Receivables.  Other than the duties specifically
set forth in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation, to supervise, verify, monitor or
administer the performance of the Servicer.  The Backup Servicer shall have no
liability for any actions taken or omitted by the Servicer.  The duties and
obligations of the Backup Servicer shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer.

          Section 3.14.  RETENTION AND TERMINATION OF SERVICER.  The Servicer
hereby covenants and agrees to act as such under this Agreement for an initial
term, commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 1998 which
term may be extended by the Security 

                                       50
<PAGE>

Insurer for successive quarterly terms ending on each successive June 30, 
September 30, December 31, and March 31, (or, pursuant to revocable written 
standing instructions from time to time to the Servicer, the Indenture 
Trustee and the Administrative Agent, for any specified number of terms 
greater than one), until the termination of this Agreement. Each such notice 
(including each notice pursuant to standing instructions, which shall be 
deemed delivered at the end of successive quarterly terms for so long as such 
instructions are in effect) (a "Servicer Extension Notice") shall be 
delivered by the Security Insurer to the Administrative Agent, the Indenture 
Trustee and the Servicer.  The Servicer hereby agrees that, as of the date 
hereof and upon its receipt of any such Servicer Extension Notice, the 
Servicer shall become bound, for the initial term beginning on the Closing 
Date and for the duration of the term covered by such Servicer Extension 
Notice, to continue as the Servicer subject to and in accordance with the 
other provisions of this Agreement.  Until such time as an Insurer Default 
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee agrees that if 
as of the fifteenth day prior to the last day of any term of the Servicer the 
Indenture Trustee shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from 
the Security Insurer, the Indenture Trustee will, within five days 
thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Administrative 
Agent, the Security Insurer and the Servicer.

          Section 3.15.  FIDELITY BOND.  The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity
bond in such form and amount as is customary for entities acting as custodian of
funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts on behalf of institutional
investors.

          Section 3.16.  DUTIES OF THE SERVICER UNDER THE INDENTURE.  The
Servicer shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform on behalf of the Issuer
the following duties of the Issuer under the Indenture (references are to the
applicable Sections in the Indenture):

          (a)    the direction to the Paying Agent, if any, to deposit moneys
with the Indenture Trustee (Section 1011);

          (b)    the preparation of all supplements, amendments, financing
statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other
instruments, in accordance with Section 1016 of the Indenture, necessary to
protect the Trust Estate (Section 1016); and

          (c)    the preparation of any written instruments required to 
confirm more fully the authority of any co-trustee or separate trustee and 
any written instruments necessary in connection with the resignation or 
removal of any co-trustee or separate trustee (Sections 710 and 716).

          Section 3.17.  COLLECTING LIEN CERTIFICATES NOT DELIVERED ON THE
PURCHASE DATE.  In the case of any Receivable in respect of which written
evidence from the Dealer selling the related Financed Vehicle that the Lien
Certificate for such Financed Vehicle showing AFL as first lienholder has been
applied for from the Registrar of Titles was delivered to the Custodian on the
applicable Purchase Date in lieu of a Lien Certificate, the Servicer shall use
its best efforts to collect such Lien Certificate from the Registrar of Titles
as promptly as practicable.  If such Lien Certificate showing AFL as first
lienholder is not received by the Custodian within 180 days after the applicable
Purchase Date, then the representation and warranty in paragraph 5 of the
Schedule of Representations shall be deemed to have been incorrect in a manner
that materially and adversely affects the Security Insurer and the Issuer.

          Section 3.18.  ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW OF RECEIVABLE FILES.  For every
group of approximately $60,000,000 (or such other amount as the Controlling
Party may determine in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time by
prior written notice to the Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Security Insurer) in aggregate Principal
Balance of Receivables transferred by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Servicer (or AFL, if AFL is not the Servicer) at its own expense
shall cause Independent Accountants acceptable to the Security Insurer to
conduct a physical inventory and limited review of the related Receivable Files,
commencing within three Business Days immediately succeeding the day the last
Receivable of such group of Receivables is transferred to the Issuer pursuant to
this Agreement.  The Independent Accountants shall within such three Business
Days complete such physical inspection and limited review and execute and
deliver to the Secured Parties an Independent Accountant's Report with respect
to such review substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.  If such review
reveals, in the Controlling Party's opinion, an unsatisfactory number of
exceptions, the Controlling Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
require a full review of every Receivable File by the Independent Accountants at
the expense of the Servicer (or AFL, if AFL is not the Servicer).

          (b)    The Issuer shall establish the Note Distribution Account in

permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in
writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments that mature not later than one
Business Day prior to the date that any payment is due from the Secured Accounts
hereunder or under any Related Document; PROVIDED, that the amounts held in the
Secured Accounts shall be invested in overnight funds or next-day funds as
constitute Eligible Investments (which shall initially be the Indenture
Trustee's U.S. Government Fund and, from time to time, shall include such other
proprietary Eligible Investments of the Indenture

direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this 
Section 4.1.  Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name 
of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and such 
investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  Any 
investment of funds in the Secured Accounts shall be made in Eligible 
Investments held by a financial institution in accordance with the following 
requirements:

          (A)    all Eligible Investments shall be held in an account with such
     financial institution in the name of the Collateral Agent;

          negotiable certificates of deposit and other obligations that
          constitute "instruments" within the meaning of Section 9-105(1)(i) of
          the UCC (other than certificated securities) and are susceptible of
          physical delivery, transferred to the Collateral Agent by physical
          delivery to the Collateral Agent, indorsed to, or registered in the
          name of, the Collateral Agent or its nominee or indorsed in blank; or
          such additional or alternative procedures as may hereafter become
          appropriate to effect the complete transfer of ownership of any such
          Eligible Investments to the Collateral Agent free of any adverse
          claims, consistent with changes in applicable law or regulations or
          the interpretation thereof;

                 (ii)    with respect to a "certificated security" (as defined

                 to the Collateral Agent, provided that if the certificated
                 security is in registered form, it shall be indorsed to, or
                 registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent or indorsed in
                 blank;

                         (II) by physical delivery of such certificated security
                 in registered form to a "securities intermediary" (as defined
                 in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting on behalf of the
                 Collateral Agent if the certificated security has been
                 specially indorsed to the Collateral Agent by an effective
                 endorsement.

                 (iii)   with respect to any security issued by the U.S.
          Treasury, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or by the Federal
          National Mortgage Association that is a book-entry security held
          through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry
          regulations, the following procedures, all in accordance with
          applicable law, including applicable federal regulation and Articles 8

<PAGE>

          securities intermediary which is also a "depositary" pursuant to
          applicable federal regulations and issuance by such securities
          intermediary of a deposit advice or other written confirmation of such
          book-entry registration to the Collateral Agent of the purchase by the
          securities intermediary on behalf of the Collateral Agent of such
          book-entry security; the making by such securities intermediary of
          entries in its books and records identifying such book-entry security
          held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry
          regulations as belonging to the Collateral Agent and indicating that
          such securities intermediary holds such book-entry security solely as
          agent for the Collateral Agent; or such additional or alternative
          procedures as may hereafter become appropriate to effect complete
          transfer of ownership of any such Eligible Investments to the
          Collateral Agent free of any adverse claims, consistent with changes
          in applicable law or regulations or the interpretation thereof;

                 (iv)    with respect to any "uncertificated security" (as
          defined in Section 8-102(a)(18) of the UCC) that is not governed by
          clause (iii) above, transferred:

                         (I)(1)    by registration to the Collateral Agent as
                 the registered owner thereof, on the books and records of the
                 issuer thereof, or

                         (2)  by another Person (not a securities intermediary)
                 either becomes the registered owner of the uncertificated
                 security on behalf of the Collateral Agent, or having become
                 the registered owner acknowledges that it holds for the
                 Collateral Agent; or

                         (II) by the issuer thereof having agreed that it will
                 comply with instruction originated by the Collateral Agent
                 without further consent of the registered owner thereof:

                 (v)     with respect to any "securities entitlement" (as
          defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC):

                         (I)  if a securities intermediary (1) indicates by book

                 intermediary's possession, (II) a quantity of securities
                 that constitute or are part of a fungible bulk of 
                 certificated securities in the securities intermediary's
                 possession, or (III) a quantity of securities that constitute

                 account of the securities intermediary on the books of another
                 securities intermediary.

                 (vi)    in each case of delivery contemplated pursuant to
          clauses (i) through (v) of subsection (b) hereof, the Collateral Agent
          shall make appropriate notations on its records, and shall cause the
          same to be made on the records of its nominees, indicating that such
          Eligible Investment is held in trust pursuant to and as provided in
          this Agreement.

Any cash held by the Collateral Agent shall not be considered a "financial
asset" for purposes of this Section 4.1(c).

          Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Collateral Agent shall
have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be
delivered directly to the Collateral Agent or its agent, together with each
document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the Collateral Agent in a manner which complies with this Section 4.1.  All
interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings on,
investments of funds in the Secured Accounts shall be deposited in the
Collection Account and distributed on the next Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.6.  The Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Secured Account an
amount equal to any net loss on such investments immediately as realized.

          (d)    On each Purchase Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account (x) all Scheduled Payments and prepayments of the Receivables
transferred to the Issuer on such date that are received by the Servicer after
the related Cut-Off Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately
preceding such Purchase Date or received by the Lockbox Bank after the related
Cut-Off Date and on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding
such Purchase Date and (y) all Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds of Insurance
Policies in respect of a Financed Vehicle and applied by the Servicer after the
related Cut-Off Date.

          (e)    The Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
make deposits into the Collection Account in order to satisfy the Collateral
Test.  AFL represents and warrants and agrees that it will not make a capital
contribution to the Seller to enable the Seller to make such a deposit and that
it will have the option (but not the obligation) to make loans to the Seller to
enable the Seller to make such a deposit, but only if (i) such loans are made on
an arms-length basis, (ii) AFL reasonably believes that at the time it shall
make such loan it will be repaid by the Seller and (iii) if AFL shall make any
such loan to the Seller, AFL shall enter into a Note for Intercompany
Discretionary Advance and Subordination Agreement and a Subordinated Revolving
Credit Promissory Note in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.  The
Seller shall provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any loans it
shall receive from AFL in order to satisfy the Collateral Test.

          (f)    On any Business Day on which there is a WAC Deficiency Amount,
the Seller shall deposit into the Collection Account the positive difference, if

notice of any loans it shall receive from AFL in order to make a deposit in
respect of the WAC Deficiency Amount.

          (g)    The Issuer shall deposit into the Collection Account the

          (h)    The Seller may at any time deposit into the Collection Account
the positive difference, if any, between the Spread Account Minimum Amount (as
defined in the Insurance Agreement) and the amount on deposit in the Warehousing
Series Spread Account.  The Seller shall provide the Rating Agencies prior
written notice of any loans it shall receive from AFL in order to make a deposit
in respect of any such deficiency in the Warehousing Series Spread Account.  Any
such amount deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)
shall not be deemed to be amounts on deposit in the Collection Account for any
other purposes of this Agreement or the Indenture other than for purpose of
Section 4.10(c).

          Section 4.2.   COLLECTIONS.  The Servicer will be entitled to be
reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a
Monthly Period for amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but
later determined by the Servicer or the Lockbox Bank to have resulted from
mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds.  The
amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be paid to the Servicer on the related
Distribution Date pursuant to Sections 4.6(a)(iv) and 4.6(b)(iv) upon
certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such
information to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Security
Insurer as may be necessary in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or the
Security Insurer to verify the accuracy of such certification.  In the event
that the Security Insurer or the Administrative Agent has not received evidence
satisfactory to it of the Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to
this Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent or the Security Insurer, as the case
may be, shall (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
give the Indenture Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which the
Indenture Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of
such amount pursuant to Section 4.6, or if the Servicer prior thereto has been
reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.6, the Indenture Trustee shall withhold such
amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next
succeeding Distribution Date.

          Section 4.3.   APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS.  For the purposes of this
Agreement, all collections for a Monthly Period shall be applied by the Servicer
as follows:

          (a)    With respect to each Receivable, payments by or on behalf of
the Obligor thereof (other than of Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to
such Receivable, to the extent collected) shall be applied to interest and
principal with respect to such Receivable in accordance with the terms of such
Receivable.  With respect to each Liquidated Receivable, Liquidation Proceeds
shall be applied to interest and principal with respect to such Receivable in
accordance with the terms of such Receivable, and then to any Insurance Add-On
Amount due and payable with respect to such Receivable.  The Servicer shall not
be entitled to any Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to a Liquidated
Receivable.

          (b)    With respect to each Receivable that has become a Purchased
Receivable on any Deposit Date, the Purchase Amount shall be applied, for
purposes of this Agreement only, to interest and principal on the Receivable in
accordance with the terms of the Receivable as if the Purchase Amount had been
paid by the Obligor on the Accounting Date next preceding such Deposit Date.
The Servicer shall not be entitled to any Supplemental Servicing Fees with
respect to such a Receivable.  Nothing contained herein shall relieve any
Obligor of any obligation relating to any Receivable.

          (c)    With respect to each Receivable that has become a Repurchased
Receivable on any date, the Repurchase Price shall be applied, for purposes of
this Agreement only, to interest and principal on the Receivable in accordance
with the terms of the Receivable as if the Repurchase Price had been paid by the
Obligor on such date.  The Servicer shall not be entitled to any Supplemental
Servicing Fees with respect to such a Receivable.  Nothing contained herein
shall relieve any Obligor of any obligation relating to any Receivable.

          (d)    All amounts collected that are payable to the Servicer as
Supplemental Servicing Fees hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection
Account and paid to the Servicer in accordance with Sections 4.6(a)(iv) and
4.6(b)(iv).

          (e)    All payments by or on behalf of an Obligor received with
respect to any Purchased Receivable after the Accounting Date immediately
preceding the Deposit Date on which the Purchase Amount was paid by the Seller,
AFL or the Servicer shall be paid to the Seller, AFL or the Servicer,
respectively, and shall not be included in the Available Funds, the Distribution
Amount or the Spread Account Available Funds.

          Section 4.4.   MONTHLY ADVANCES.

          (a)    After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, if with respect
to a Receivable the amount deposited into the Collection Account during a
Monthly Period in respect of such Receivable and allocable to interest
(determined in accordance with Section 4.3) is less than the amount of interest
accrued on such Receivable (for the number of calendar days in such Monthly
Period), the Servicer shall make a Monthly Advance equal to the amount of such
shortfall; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not be required to make a
Monthly Advance with respect to a Receivable extended pursuant to Section 3.2(b)
for any Monthly Period during which no Scheduled Payment is due according to the
terms of such extension.

          (b)    If with respect to any Determination Date so long as an
Amortization Event has not occurred, the amount of Available Funds is less than
the sum of the amounts payable on the related Distribution Date pursuant to
clause (i) of Section 4.6(a), then on such Determination Date the Servicer, or
AFL if AFL is no longer the Servicer, shall make a Monthly Advance equal to the
amount of such shortfall.

          (c)    On or before each Determination Date and prior to the delivery
of the Servicer's Certificate for such Determination Date pursuant to Section
3.9, the Servicer (or AFL if AFL is not the Servicer and AFL is required to make
a Monthly Advance pursuant to Section 4.4(b)) shall deposit in the Collection
Account the aggregate amount of Monthly Advances required for the related
Monthly Period in immediately available funds.

          (d)    The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for

Obligor with respect to such Receivable, (ii) collections of Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to any Receivable if such Receivable becomes a Liquidated
Receivable, (iii) payment of any Purchase Amount with respect to any Receivable
if such Receivable becomes a Purchased Receivable and (iv) payment of any
Repurchase Price with respect to any Receivable if such Receivable becomes a
Repurchased Receivable.  If any Receivable shall become a Liquidated Receivable
and the Servicer shall not have been fully reimbursed for Outstanding Monthly
Advances with respect to such Receivable from the sources of funds previously
described in this paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
from collections on Receivables other than the Receivable in respect of which
such Outstanding Monthly Advance shall have been made.

          (a)    On or before each Deposit Date, the Servicer or AFL shall
deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Amounts with respect to
Administrative Receivables.  The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account

the Collection Account any amounts delivered to the Indenture Trustee by the
Spread Account Collateral Agent.

          (b)    The Security Insurer shall at any time, and from time to time,
have the option but not the obligation to deliver amounts to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account, for distribution with respect
to the Deficiency Claim Date coinciding with or next succeeding the date of such
deposit to the extent that without such distribution a draw would be required to
be made on the Note Policy, in order to provide for the compensation of a
Successor Servicer as provided in Section 6.3(c), or otherwise to provide for
expenses of the Issuer, including amounts due to providers of services to the
Issuer.

          Section 4.6.   DISTRIBUTIONS.

(B) any increase in the WAC Deficiency Amount on such date, if any, above the
WAC Deficiency Amount on such Determination Date, and (iii) an amount equal to
the excess of the total amount on deposit in the Collection Account on such date
over the WAC Deficiency Amounts, if any, required to be on deposit in the
Collection Account on such date.  The Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to
wire an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables
being purchased by the Issuer on such date to the Spread Account and the
Servicer shall instruct the 

                                      62

<PAGE>

Trustee to wire the remainder of the amount specified in the preceding 
sentence to the account of the Seller.

          (b)    On the Business Day specified by the Seller in the notice of 
a prepayment of an Advance delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to 
Section 2.1(e), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Collection 
Account and, if applicable, the Spread Account the amount of such prepayment 
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (as set forth 
in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Seller) and shall deposit 
such amount into the Note Distribution Account for application in accordance 
with the provisions of the Indenture.

          (c)    On the date of any deposit into the Collection Account made
pursuant to Section 4.1(h), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to
withdraw from the Collection Account and deposit to the Spread Account the
amount deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.1(h), and
upon such instruction the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amount from the
Collection Account and initiate a wire transfer in such account to the Spread
Account.

          Section 4.11.  CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION WITH THE SPREAD ACCOUNT
AGREEMENT.

          (a)    In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall determine on any
Deficiency Claim Date, based on information in the Servicer's Certificate, that
there exists a Collection Account Shortfall or a Warehousing Shortfall (each as
defined in the Spread Account Agreement) (any such shortfall being a "Deficiency
Claim Amount"), then on such Deficiency Claim Date, the Indenture Trustee shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent, the Spread Account Collateral Agent, the
Security Insurer, the Issuer and the Servicer, by hand delivery, telex or
facsimile transmission, a written notice (a "Deficiency Notice") specifying the
Deficiency Claim Amount for such Distribution Date.  Such Deficiency Notice
shall direct the Spread Account Collateral Agent to remit such Deficiency Claim
Amount (to the extent of the funds available to be distributed pursuant to the
Spread Account Agreement) to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection
Account.

          (b)    Any Deficiency Notice shall be delivered by 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the related Deficiency Claim Date.  The amounts distributed
by the Spread Account Collateral Agent to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to a
Deficiency Notice shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.5.

          Section 5.1.   LIABILITY OF SERVICER; INDEMNITIES.

          (a)    The Servicer (in its capacity as such and, in the case of AFL,
without limitation of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement) shall be
liable hereunder only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement
specifically undertaken by the Servicer and the representations made by the
Servicer.

          (b)    The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the
Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Security Insurer,
their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Noteholders
from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and

          (c)    The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the

their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Noteholders
from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against the Issuer,

the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal

Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Security Insurer,
their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and the Noteholders

liability arose out of, or was imposed upon the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative
Agent, the Security Insurer or the Noteholders through the breach of this
Agreement, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of the Servicer in
the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

          (e)    Indemnification under this Article shall include, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Article and the
recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient
shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

                                    64

<PAGE>

          (f)    AFL, in its individual capacity, hereby acknowledges that the
indemnification provisions in the Purchase Agreement benefiting the Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer are enforceable by each hereunder.


          (g)  AFL, in its individual capacity, shall indemnify, defend and 
hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the 
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Agent, 
the Security Insurer, their respective officers, directors, agents and 
employees and the Noteholders from and against any taxes that may at any time 
be asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the 
Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Security 
Insurer or the Noteholders with respect to the transactions contemplated in 
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, 
general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes 
(but not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, 
the sale of the Receivables and the other Seller Conveyed Property to the 
Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Notes, or federal or other 
income taxes arising out of distributions on the Notes) and costs and 
expenses in defending against the same, but only to the extent such amounts 
are not otherwise covered by the indemnities set forth in Sections 5.1(b) 
through (f) above.

          Section 5.2.   MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF, OR ASSUMPTION OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF, THE SERVICER OR BACKUP SERVICER.

          (a)    The Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other
person, convey, transfer or lease substantially all its assets as an entirety to
another Person, or permit any other Person to become the successor to the
Servicer's business unless, after the merger, consolidation, conveyance,
transfer, lease or succession, the successor or surviving entity shall be an
Eligible Servicer and shall be capable of fulfilling the duties of the Servicer
contained in this Agreement.  Any corporation (i) into which the Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer, or
lease substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the
business of the Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this
Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be
the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Servicer
from any obligation.  The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger,
consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) to the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Security Insurer and each
Rating Agency.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not merge or
consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become a
successor to the Servicer's business, unless (x) immediately after giving effect
to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.6
shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and
warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction)
and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an
Insurance Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (y)
the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the
Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer an Officer's Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.2(a) and that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such
transaction have been complied with, and (z) the Servicer shall have delivered
to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Indenture 

                                    65

<PAGE>

Trustee and the Security Insurer an Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the 
opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation 
statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are 
necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Seller 
Conveyed Property and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such 
action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

          (b)    Any corporation (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Backup Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance,
transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Backup Servicer, or
(iv) succeeding to the business of the Backup Servicer, in any of the foregoing
cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of
the Backup Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption
agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Backup Servicer under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to release the Backup Servicer from any obligation.

          Section 5.3.   LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICER, BACKUP SERVICER
AND OTHERS.

          (a)    Neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer nor any of the
directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or Backup Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Noteholders, except as provided in this
Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
pursuant to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or any such Person against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of a breach of this
Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties, by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this
Agreement or any violation of law by the Servicer, Backup Servicer or such
Person, as the case may be; PROVIDED FURTHER, that this provision shall not
affect any liability to indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for
costs, taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, each in its individual capacity.  The Servicer,
the Backup Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer
or Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any
document of any kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

          (b)    The Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation of
the Servicer contained in this Agreement, and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Security Insurer and the Noteholders
shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations.

          Section 5.4.   DELEGATION OF DUTIES.  The Servicer may delegate duties
under this Agreement to an Affiliate of AFL with the prior written consent of
the Security Insurer (unless 

                                    66

<PAGE>

an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the 
Administration Agent.  Any successor Servicer may delegate duties under this 
Agreement with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer (unless an 
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative 
Agent.  The Servicer also may at any time perform the specific duty of 
repossession of Financed Vehicles through sub-contractors who are in the 
business of servicing automotive receivables and may perform other specific 
duties through such sub-contractors with the prior written consent of the 
Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be 
continuing); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such delegation or sub-contracting 
duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with 
respect to such duties.  Neither AFL nor any party acting as Servicer 
hereunder shall appoint any subservicer hereunder without the prior written 
consent of the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have 
occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent.

          Section 5.5.   SERVICER AND BACKUP SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN.  Subject to
the provisions of Section 5.2, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer
shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as
Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a
change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement
would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which
would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as
the case may be, and the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing) or the Administrative Agent (if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) does not elect to waive the
obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, to
perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those
duties to another Person.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of
the Servicer or Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered and acceptable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing).  No resignation of the Servicer shall become
effective until, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Backup Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Security Insurer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Backup Servicer or
a successor Servicer that is an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer.  No resignation of the Backup
Servicer shall become effective until, so long as no Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, an entity acceptable to the Security Insurer shall
have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Person that is n
Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the
Backup Servicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event a successor Backup
Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given
notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by
this Section 5.5, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal.

                            SERVICER TERMINATION EVENTS

          Section 6.1.   SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT.  For purposes of this
Agreement, each of the following shall constitute a "Servicer Termination
Event":

          (a)    Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for distribution to Noteholders any proceeds or payment required to be
so delivered under the terms of this Agreement (or, if AFL is the Servicer, the
Purchase Agreement) that continues unremedied for a period of two Business Days
(one Business Day with respect to payment of Purchase Amounts) after written
notice is received by the Servicer from the Indenture Trustee or (unless an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Security Insurer or
after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

          (b)    Failure by the Servicer to deliver the Servicer's Certificate
to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and (so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be  continuing) the Security
Insurer by 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date, or failure on the part of the Servicer to observe its
covenants and agreements set forth in Section 5.2(a);

          (c)    Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement (or, if AFL is the Servicer, the Purchase Agreement),
which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer
(determined without regard to the availability of funds under the Note Policy),
or of the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Issuer, the Administrative Agent,
the Indenture Trustee or the Security Insurer;

          (d)    The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court or
regulatory authority having jurisdiction in respect of the Servicer or the
Seller in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or
hereafter in effect, or another present or future, federal or state, bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or
the Seller or of any substantial part of their respective properties or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer or the Seller and
the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days or the commencement of an involuntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or
future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law and such case is
not dismissed within 60 days;

          (e)    The commencement by the Servicer or the Seller of a voluntary
case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any
other present or future, federal or state, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law, or the consent by the Servicer or the Seller to the appointment of or
taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or the Seller or of any
substantial part of its property or the making by the Servicer or the Seller of
an assignment for the benefit of creditors 

                                    68

<PAGE>

or the failure by the Servicer or the Seller generally to pay its debts as 
such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer or 
the Seller in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

          (f)    Any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer or
the Seller made in this Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing
delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as
of the time when the same shall have been made, and the incorrectness of such
representation, warranty or statement has a material adverse effect on the
Issuer or the Security Insurer and, within 30 days after written notice thereof
shall have been given to the Servicer or the Seller by the Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Security Insurer (or, if an
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Noteholder), the
circumstances or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or
statement was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;

          (g)    So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing, the Security Insurer shall not have delivered a Servicer Extension
Notice pursuant to Section 3.14;

          (h)    So long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing, an Insurance Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred;

          (i)    A claim is made under the Note Policy; or

          (j)    A servicer termination event or like event shall occur in any
other securitization with respect to which AFL or any of its Affiliates is
acting as servicer.

          Section 6.2.   CONSEQUENCES OF A SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT.  If a
Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Security Insurer
(or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the
Indenture Trustee or the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of each
Agent)), by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee and the Administrative Agent if given by the Security Insurer) may
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement; PROVIDED, that if the Security Insurer shall not deliver a Servicer
Extension Notice, the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder shall
terminate automatically upon the expiration of the term of the Servicer without
the requirement of notice.  On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such
written notice or upon such automatic termination, all authority, power,
obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement
automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and
responsibilities of the Backup Servicer (or such other successor Servicer
appointed by the Security Insurer); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the successor
Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was
required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the
successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on
any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.  The successor
Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and
all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables
and the other Seller Conveyed Property and related documents to show the Issuer
as lienholder or secured party on the related Lien Certificates, or otherwise.
The terminated Servicer agrees to 

                                    69

<PAGE>

cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the 
responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, 
including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for 
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by 
the terminated Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated 
Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to 
the Receivables and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivable 
Files, Monthly Records and Collection Records and a computer tape or diskette 
in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all 
information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the 
Receivables and the other Seller Conveyed Property.  If requested by the 
Administrative Agent or the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall 
have occurred and be continuing), the successor Servicer shall terminate the 
Lockbox Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the 
Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the successor 
Servicer shall process such payments in accordance with Section 3.2(e)), or 
to a lockbox established by the successor Servicer at the direction of the 
Administrative Agent or the Security Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall 
have occurred and be continuing), at the successor Servicer's expense.  In 
addition to any other amounts that are then payable to the terminated 
Servicer under this Agreement, the terminated Servicer shall then be entitled 
to receive out of Available Funds reimbursements for any Outstanding Monthly 
Advances made during the period prior to the notice pursuant to this Section 
6.2 which terminates the obligation and rights of the terminated Servicer 
under this Agreement.  The Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Indenture 
Trustee and the successor Servicer may set off and deduct any amounts owed by 
the terminated Servicer from any amounts payable to the terminated Servicer 
pursuant to the preceding sentence.  The terminated Servicer shall grant the 
Issuer, the Administrative Agent, each Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the 
successor Servicer and the Security Insurer reasonable access to the 
terminated Servicer's premises at the terminated Servicer's expense.

          Section 6.3.   APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

          (a)    On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 6.2 or upon the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.5, or in the event the term of the Servicer expires as a
consequence of the Security Insurer electing not to deliver a Servicer Extension
Notice, the Backup Servicer (unless the Security Insurer shall have exercised
its option pursuant to Section 6.3(b) to appoint an alternate successor
Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any
obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior
to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a
third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.
The Issuer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  If a
successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to
termination under Section 6.2 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination
Event applicable to it as Servicer.

          (b)    The Security Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing) exercise at any time its right to appoint
as Backup Servicer or as 

                                    70

<PAGE>

successor to the Servicer a Person other than the Person serving as Backup 
Servicer at the time, and (without limiting its obligations under the Note 
Policy) shall have no liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, AFL, 
the Seller, the Person then serving as Backup Servicer, any Noteholders or 
any other Person if it does so.  Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup 
Servicer shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer and an 
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Backup Servicer, 
the Indenture Trustee or the Administrative Agent may petition a court of 
competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to 
the Servicer.  Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the 
Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable 
to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as 
Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.  
Subject to Section 5.5, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as 
relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor 
Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.2, the 
resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5 or the expiration of the 
term of the Servicer. If upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to 
Section 6.2, the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5 or the 
expiration of the term of the Servicer, the Security Insurer appoints a 
successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall 
not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder.

          (c)    Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation
(whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer
would have been entitled to under the Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned
or been terminated hereunder.  If any successor Servicer is appointed as a
result of the Backup Servicer's refusal (in contravention of the terms of this
Agreement) to act as Servicer although it is legally able to do so, the Security
Insurer and such successor Servicer may agree on reasonable additional
compensation to be paid to such successor Servicer by the Backup Servicer, which
additional compensation shall be paid by the Backup Servicer in its individual
capacity and solely out of its own funds.  If any successor Servicer is
appointed for any reason other than the Backup Servicer's refusal to act as
Servicer although legally able to do so, the Security Insurer and such successor
Servicer may agree on additional compensation to be paid to such successor
Servicer, which additional compensation may be payable by the Security Insurer
as a Security Insurer Optional Deposit.  In addition, any successor Servicer
shall be entitled to reasonable transition expenses incurred in acting as
successor Servicer to the extent provided in Section 4.6(a)(iii) or 4.6(b)(iii).

          Section 6.4.   NOTIFICATION TO NOTEHOLDERS.  Upon any termination of
or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VI, the
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders at
their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register.

          Section 6.5.   WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.  The Security Insurer (or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent (at the direction of each Agent)) may, waive any default by the Servicer
in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.  Upon any
such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Issuer, with the prior written consent
of the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Security Insurer (so long
as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) but without the
consent of any of the Noteholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or
supplement any provisions in this Agreement or (iii) for the purpose of adding
any provision to or changing in any manner or eliminating any provision of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders.

          (b)    This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Issuer with
the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the
Backup Servicer and the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing) and with the consent of a Note Majority
(which consent of any Holder of a Note given pursuant to this Section or
pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of such Note and of any Note
issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Note) for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that subject to the express rights of the
Security Insurer under the Related Documents, including its rights to agree to
certain modifications of the Receivables pursuant to Section 3.2 and its rights
to cause the Collateral Agent to liquidate the Collateral under the
circumstances and subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Security

amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on
Receivables or distributions required to be made with respect to any Advance or
the Advance Interest Rate, (b) amend any provisions of Section 4.6 in such a
manner as to affect the priority of payment of interest, principal or premium to
Noteholders, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any
such amendment or any waiver hereunder, without the consent of the Holders of
all Notes then outstanding.

          (c)    Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Issuer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or
consent to each Rating Agency.

          (d)    Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent,
the Issuer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
or consent to the Indenture Trustee.

          (e)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders
pursuant to Section 7.1(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be 

                                      72

<PAGE>

sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.  The manner 
of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided 
for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution 
thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as 
the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may prescribe, including the 
establishment of record dates.

          (f)    Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 7.2(i).  The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

          Section 7.2.   PROTECTION OF TITLE TO THE SELLER CONVEYED PROPERTY.

          (a)    The Servicer and the Seller shall execute and file such
financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation and

law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the
Collateral Agent in the Seller Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof.
The Servicer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer, the

copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon
as available following such filing.

          (b)    Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name,
identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make
any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in
accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of
Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer (so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) at least 60 days
prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to
all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

          (c)    Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall give the Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Insurer at least 60
days' prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office
if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would
require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or
continuation statement or of any new financing statement.  The Servicer shall at
all times maintain each office from which it services Receivables and its
principal executive office within the United States of America.

          (d)    The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each
Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof

Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account
in respect of such Receivable.

<PAGE>

          (e)    The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from
and after the time of sale hereunder of the Receivables to the Issuer, the
Servicer's master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to
any Receivable indicate clearly that the Receivable is owned by the Issuer.
Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or
modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable
has been paid in full or repurchased by the Seller or Servicer.

          (f)    If at any time the Seller or the Servicer proposes to sell,
grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive
receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the
Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee
computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup
archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable,
indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer
unless such Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased by the Seller or
Servicer.

          (g)    The Servicer shall permit the Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, either Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Backup
Servicer, the Security Insurer and their respective agents, at any time to
inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer's records
regarding any Receivables or any other portion of the Seller Conveyed Property.

          (h)    The Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, either Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Backup
Servicer and the Security Insurer at any time upon request a list of all
Receivables then held by the Issuer, together with a reconciliation of such list
to the Receivables Schedule and to each of the Servicer's Certificates furnished
before such request indicating repurchase of Receivables from the Issuer.  Upon
request, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of any list to the Seller.  The
Indenture Trustee shall hold any such list and Receivables Schedule for
examination by interested parties during normal business hours at the Corporate
Trust Office upon reasonable notice by such Persons of their desire to conduct
an examination.

          (i)    The Seller and the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the
Security Insurer simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and of each amendment thereto and upon the occurrence of the events
giving rise to an obligation to give notice pursuant to Section 7.2(b) or (c),
an Opinion of Counsel either (a) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and

Property, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior
Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (b) stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect
such interest.

enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Notes or the
respective rights of the Holders thereof.

successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or

                     OPINIONS OF COUNSEL TO SELLER AND ARCADIA
                     -----------------------------------------

                          [Opinions of Counsel to Seller]


          (i)   Arcadia Receivables Finance Corp. (the "Seller") has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
with corporate power and authority to own its properties and to transact the
business in which it is now engaged, and the Seller is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of
Minnesota.

          (ii)  The Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the Spread
Account Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder and has all
necessary licenses and approvals under federal and state law to transact the
business in which it is now engaged.

         (iii)  Each of the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale 
and Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and 
the Spread Account Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered 
by the Seller and, as to the Seller, is a legal, valid and binding 
obligation, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms 
(except as may be limited by bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general 
principles of equity).

          (iv)  The compliance by the Seller with all of the provisions of 
the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing 
Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the Spread 
Account Agreement will not (1) conflict with or result in any breach which 
would constitute a default under, or except as contemplated by the Sale and 
Servicing Agreement, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge 
or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Seller pursuant to 
any material terms of, any indenture, loan agreement or other agreement or 
instrument for borrowed money to which the Seller is a party or by which the 
Seller may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Seller 
is subject, (2) violate any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or 
the By-Laws of the Seller, or (3) violate or conflict with any order, 
judgment, decree, writ, injunction, rule or regulation applicable to the 
Seller of any court or any federal, state or other regulatory authority or 
other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller.

          (v)   No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or 
filing with, any court or any federal, state or other regulatory authority or 
other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller, which has not 
already been made or obtained, is required for the execution, delivery, or 
performance of the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and 
Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the 
Spread Account Agreement except for the filing of any financing statements 
required to perfect the Issuer's and the Seller's respective interests in the 
Receivables.

                                       D-1

<PAGE>


          (vi)  The Seller is not an "investment company" nor is it 
controlled by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment 
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         (vii)  There is no action, suit, investigation, litigation or
proceeding pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened before any
court, governmental agency or arbitrator (1) against the Seller or any of its
properties, (2) asserting the invalidity of the Purchase Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the
Insurance Agreement or the Spread Account Agreement, (3) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement,
the Insurance Agreement or the Spread Account Agreement or (4) challenging the
enforceability of the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the
Spread Account Agreement.

        (viii)  If the transfer of the Receivables from the Seller to the
Buyer does not constitute an absolute sale, the Repurchase Agreement grants to
the Buyer a security interest in the Seller's rights in the Receivables and the
proceeds thereof, which security interest is a first priority perfected security
interest.

                          [Opinions of Counsel to Arcadia]


          (i)   Arcadia Financial Ltd. ("Arcadia") has been duly incorporated
and is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of
Minnesota, with corporate power and authority to own its properties and to
transact the business in which it is now engaged, and Arcadia is duly qualified
to do business and is in good standing in each State of the United States where
the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified.

         (ii)   Arcadia has full corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Security
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread Account Agreement and the
Custodian Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

        (iii)   Each of the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread Account
Agreement and the Custodian Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Arcadia and, as to Arcadia, is a legal, valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general principles of equity).

         (iv)   The execution and delivery by Arcadia of, and the performance 
by Arcadia of the provisions of each of the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and 
Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the 
Spread Account Agreement and the Custodian Agreement will not (1) conflict 
with or result in any breach which would constitute a default under, or 
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon 
any of the property or assets of Arcadia pursuant to any material terms of, 
any indenture, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument for borrowed 
money to which Arcadia is a party or by which Arcadia may be bound or to 
which any of the property or assets of Arcadia is subject, (2) violate any 
provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of Arcadia or (3) 
violate or conflict with any order, judgment, decree, writ, injunction of any 
court or any federal, state or other regulatory authority or other 
governmental body having jurisdiction over Arcadia or any rule or regulation 
applicable to Arcadia.

          (v)   No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or
filing with, any court or any federal, state or other regulatory authority or
other governmental body having jurisdiction over Arcadia, which has not already
been made or obtained, is required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Spread Account Agreement and the Custodian Agreement.

         (vi)  There is no action, suit, investigation, litigation or
proceeding pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened before any
court, governmental agency or arbitrator (1) against Arcadia or any of its
properties, (2) asserting the invalidity of the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread
Account Agreement and the Custodian Agreement, (3) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
the Sale and Servicing

                                      D-3

Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread 
Account Agreement and the Custodian Agreement, or (4) challenging the 
enforceability of the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 
the Security Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Spread Account Agreement 
and the Custodian Agreement.

       (vii)   The Receivables constitute "chattel paper" as such term is
defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in Minnesota.

      (viii)   Should Arcadia become the debtor in a case under the 
Bankruptcy Code, if the matter were properly briefed and presented to a 
court, the court would hold that (1) the transfer of the Receivables (and the 
collections thereon) by Arcadia to the Seller in the manner set forth in the 
Purchase Agreement would constitute an absolute sale of the Receivables (and 
the collections thereon), rather than a borrowing by Arcadia secured by the 
Receivables (and the collections thereon), so that the Receivables would not 
be the property of the estate of Arcadia under Section 541(a) of the 
Bankruptcy Code, and thus (2) the Seller's rights to the Receivables (and the 
collections thereon) would not be impaired by the operation of Section 362(a) 
of the Bankruptcy Code.

        (ix)   Under present reported decisional authority and statutes 
applicable to bankruptcy cases, should Arcadia become the debtor in a case 
under the Bankruptcy Code, and the Seller would not otherwise properly be a 
debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, and if the matter were properly 
briefed and presented to a court exercising bankruptcy jurisdiction, the 
court, exercising reasonable judgment after full consideration of all 
relevant factors, should not order, over the objection of the Issuer, the 
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders or the Security Insurer, the 
substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Seller with 
those of Arcadia.

                                     SCHEDULE A

                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER


          1.     CHARACTERISTICS OF RECEIVABLES.  Each Receivable (A) was 
originated by AFL or by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in 
the ordinary course of such Dealer's business and such Dealer had all 
necessary licenses and permits to originate Receivables in the state where 
such Dealer was located, was fully and properly executed by the parties 
thereto, was purchased by Arcadia from such Dealer under an existing Dealer 
Agreement with AFL and was validly assigned by such Dealer to Arcadia, (B) 
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights 
and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the 
collateral security, and (C) is a fully amortizing Receivable which provides 
for level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first Monthly 
Period and the final Monthly Period of the life of the Receivable may be 
minimally different from the level payment) which, if made when due, shall 
fully amortize the Amount Financed over the original term.

          2.     NO FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION.  Each Receivable was 
originated by AFL or by a Dealer and was sold by the Dealer to AFL without 
any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer in either case.

          3.     COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  All requirements of applicable 
federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder (including, without 
limitation, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 
the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the 
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations "B" and 
"Z," the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, the Minnesota Motor 
Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act, and state adaptations of the National 
Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer 
credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws) in respect of 
all of the Receivables and each and every sale of Financed Vehicles, have 
been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the sale 
of the Financed Vehicle evidenced by each Receivable complied at the time it 
was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all 
applicable legal requirements.

          4.     ORIGINATION.  Each Receivable was originated in the United 
States.

          5.     BINDING OBLIGATION.  Each Receivable represents the genuine, 
legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, 
enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as 
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or 
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by 
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is 
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as such Receivable may 
be modified by the application after its Cut-Off Date of the Soldiers' and 
Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended; and all parties to each 
Receivable had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and 
all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest 
purported to be granted thereby.


                                       A-1

<PAGE>

          6.     NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGOR.  No Obligor is the United States of 
America or any State or any agency, department, subdivision or 
instrumentality thereof.

          7.     OBLIGOR BANKRUPTCY.  At the applicable Cut-Off Date, no 
Obligor had been identified on the records of Arcadia as being the subject of 
a current bankruptcy proceeding.

          8.     RECEIVABLES SCHEDULE.  The information set forth in the most 
recent Receivables Schedule delivered to the Issuer or the Administrative 
Agent was true and correct in all material respects as of the close of 
business on the applicable Cut-Off Date.

          9.     MARKING RECORDS.  On each Purchase Date, the portions of the 
Electronic Ledger relating to the Receivables will be clearly and 
unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables constitute part of the 
Seller Conveyed Property and are owned by the Issuer in accordance with the 
terms of the Agreement.

          10.    COMPUTER TAPE.  The Computer Tape, computer diskette or 
other electronic transmission made available by the Seller to the Issuer on 
each Purchase Date was complete and accurate as of the applicable Cut-Off 
Date, and includes a description of the same Receivables that are described 
in the Receivables Schedule.

          11.    ADVERSE SELECTION.  No selection procedures adverse to the 
Issuer or the Noteholders were utilized in selecting the Receivables from 
those receivables owned by Arcadia which met the selection criteria contained 
in the Agreement.

          12.    CHATTEL PAPER.  The Receivables constitute chattel paper 
within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Minnesota and New 
York.

          13.    ONE ORIGINAL.  There is only one original executed copy of 
each Receivable.

          14.    RECEIVABLE FILES COMPLETE.  On the applicable  Purchase Date 
there exists a complete Receivable File for each Receivable transferred on 
such date, and such receivable File is in the possession of the Custodian on 
such Purchase Date.  A Receivable File pertaining to each Receivable will 
contain on the related Purchase Date (a) a fully executed original of the 
Receivable, (b) a certificate of insurance, application form for insurance 
signed by the Obligor, or a signed representation letter from the Obligor 
named in the Receivable pursuant to which the Obligor has agreed to obtain 
physical damage insurance for the related Financed Vehicle, or a documented 
verbal confirmation by an insurance agent for the Obligor of a policy number 
for an insurance policy for the Financed Vehicle, (c) the original Lien 
Certificate or application therefor or a letter from the applicable Dealer 
agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the related Receivable if the Lien 
Certificate is not received by Arcadia within 180 days, and (d) a credit 
application signed by the Obligor or a copy thereof. Each of such documents 
which is required to be signed by the Obligor will have been signed by the 
Obligor in the appropriate spaces.  All blanks on any form will have been 
properly filled in and each form will otherwise have been correctly prepared.


                                       A-2

<PAGE>

          15.    RECEIVABLES IN FORCE.  No Receivable has been satisfied, 
subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such 
Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in 
whole or in part.  No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered 
or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or 
documents identified in the Receivable File.  No Receivable has been modified 
as a result of application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 
1940, as amended.

          16.    LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT.  No Receivable was originated in, or is 
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction, the laws of which would make 
unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such 
Receivable under this Agreement or any Assignment Agreement or pursuant to 
transfers of the Notes.

          17.    GOOD TITLE.  No Receivable has been sold, transferred, 
assigned or pledged by Arcadia to any Person other than the Seller unless the 
same was released prior to the transfer of such Receivable to the Seller or 
by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer; immediately prior to the 
conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Arcadia was 
the sole owner of and had good and indefeasible title thereto, free and clear 
of any Lien other than Liens created pursuant to its Related Documents. 
Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant 
to this Agreement and any Transaction, the Seller was the sole owner thereof 
and had good and indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon 
execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Confirmation by the Seller, 
the Issuer shall have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole 
owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien.  No Dealer has a participation 
in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable.  Neither Arcadia 
nor the Seller has taken any action to convey any right to any Person that 
would result in such Person having a right to payments received under the 
related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements or Dealer 
Assignments or to payments due under such Receivables.

          18.    SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLE.  Each Receivable 
creates a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in 
favor of Arcadia in the Financed Vehicle.  The Lien Certificate and original 
certificate of title for each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or 
replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such 
Financed Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be received within 180 days of the 
related Purchase Date and will show, Arcadia named as the original secured 
party under each Receivable as the holder of a first priority security 
interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which 
the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, 
Arcadia has received written evidence from the related Dealer that such Lien 
Certificate showing Arcadia as first lienholder has been applied for, or a 
letter from the applicable Dealer agreeing unconditionally to repurchase the 
related Receivable if the Certificate of title is not received within 180 
days.  Arcadia's security interest has been validly assigned by Arcadia to 
the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by the Seller to the Issuer 
pursuant to this Agreement.  Immediately after the sale, transfer and 
assignment thereof to the Issuer, each Receivable will be secured by an 
enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the Financed 
Vehicle in favor of the Issuer as secured party, which security interest is 
prior to all other liens upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle 
which now exist or may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, 
for any lien for taxes, labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle).  As 

                                       A-3

<PAGE>

of the applicable Cut-Off Date, there were no Liens or claims for taxes, 
work, labor or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle which are or may be 
Liens prior or equal to the lien of the related Receivable.

          19.    ALL FILINGS MADE.  All filings (including, without 
limitation, UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and actions 
required to be taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give 
the Issuer a first priority perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the 
Receivables and the proceeds thereof and the other Seller Conveyed Property 
have been made, taken or performed.

          20.    NO IMPAIRMENT.  Neither Arcadia nor the Seller has done 
anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person 
having a right to payments due under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the 
rights of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders 
in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

          21.    RECEIVABLE NOT ASSUMABLE.  No Receivable is assumable by 
another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such 
Obligor's obligations to the Seller with respect to such Receivable.

          22.    NO DEFENSES.  No Receivable is subject to any right of 
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been 
asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.

          23.    NO DEFAULT.  There has been no default, breach, violation or 
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than 
payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days), and no condition exists or 
event has occurred and is continuing, that with notice, the lapse of time or 
both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting 
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver 
of any of the foregoing.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Financed 
Vehicle had been repossessed.

          24.    INSURANCE.  As of the Purchase Date for the related 
Receivable, each Financed Vehicle is covered by a comprehensive and collision 
insurance policy (i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its 
maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor 
under the related Receivable, (ii) naming Arcadia as loss payee and (iii) 
insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, 
collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision 
coverage.  Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and 
damage insurance, naming Arcadia and its successors and assigns as additional 
insured parties, and each Receivable permits the holder thereof to obtain 
physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the 
Obligor fails to do so.  No Financed Vehicle was or had previously been 
insured under a policy of Force-Placed Insurance on the related Cut-Off Date.

          25.    PAST DUE.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, no Receivable 
being transferred on the related Purchase Date was more than 30 days past due 
and no funds have been advanced by the Seller, the Servicer, AFL, and Dealer, 
or anyone acting on behalf of any of them in order to cause any Receivable to 
satisfy such requirement.

                                       A-4

<PAGE>

          26.    REMAINING PRINCIPAL BALANCE.  As of the applicable Cut-Off 
Date, each Receivable had a remaining principal balance equal to or greater 
than $500.00 and the Principal Balance of each Receivable set forth in the 
most recent Receivables Schedule delivered to the Issuer or the 
Administrative Agent is true and accurate in all material respects.

          27     ORIGINAL MATURITY.  Each Receivable had an original maturity 
of at least 12 months but not more than 84 months and no more than 10% of the 
Receivables had an original maturity of greater than 72 months.  Each 
Receivable with an original maturity of greater than 72 months is secured by 
a Financed Vehicle that is a new automobile or an automobile that is less 
than one year old.  No more than 80% of the aggregate outstanding Principal 
Balance of the Receivables are Classic Receivables.

          28.    COMPLIANCE WITH UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES.  Each Receivable 
was originated pursuant to Arcadia's underwriting standards in effect on the 
Effective Date which have not, without the prior written consent of the 
Agent, been materially changed since the Effective Date.

                                       A-5

required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.  The

successor Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the title to and
interest in the Collateral and all of the trusts, powers, discretions,
immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the
execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is necessary
to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interest of the Secured
Parties in the Collateral.


           (b)  RESIGNATION.  The Collateral Agent and any successor 
Collateral Agent may resign upon not less than 60 days' prior written notice 
of such resignation by registered or certified mail to the other Secured 
Parties and the Seller; PROVIDED, that such resignation shall take effect 
only upon the date that is the latest of (i) the effective date of the 
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and the acceptance in writing by 
such successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to 
perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof and 
(ii) delivery of the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance

Collateral Agent has been appointed Collateral Agent or become the Collateral 
Agent pursuant to subsection (d) hereof, the resigning Collateral Agent may 
petition a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York for the 
appointment of a successor.

such successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to
perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii)
delivery of the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the
procedures specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iii) receipt by
the Controlling Party of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in
Section 4.5.

           (d)  ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR.  The Controlling Party shall have 
the sole right to appoint each successor Collateral Agent.  Every temporary 
or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, 
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to each Secured Party and the 
Seller an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and the 
relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other 
documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral 
to the successor Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the 
procedures specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 


                                      8

whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall 
become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties 
and obligations of its predecessor.  Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on 
the written request of any Secured Party or the Seller, execute and deliver 
an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, 
rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder.  In the event that any 
instrument in writing from the Seller or a Secured Party is reasonably 
required by a successor Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in 
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and 
obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Collateral 
Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the 
temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, 
acknowledged and delivered by the Seller or such Secured Party.  The 
designation of any successor Collateral Agent and the instrument or 
instruments removing any Collateral Agent and appointing a successor 
hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be 
maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent 
required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Collateral 
Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the 
transfer of the Collateral to the sucessor Collateral Agent or to protect or 
continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.

               Section 3.6.   INDEMNIFICATION.  AFL shall indemnify the
Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents for, and hold
the Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense (including the costs and expenses of
defending against any claim of liability) arising out of or in connection with
the Collateral Agent's acting as Collateral Agent hereunder, except such loss,
liability or expense as shall result from the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Collateral Agent or its officers or agents.  The obligation of
AFL under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent covenants
not to assert any Lien or to take any other action in respect of the Collateral
to enforce its rights to indemnification hereunder until the Final Termination
Date.

               Section 3.7.   COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.  The Seller agrees
for the benefit of the Secured Parties and as part of the Secured Obligations
(a) to pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time, reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a collateral
trustee); and (b) to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of, or carrying out its duties
and obligations under, this Security Agreement (including the reasonable
compensation and fees and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, any
independent certified public accountants and independent counsel), except any
expense, disbursement or advances as may be attributable to negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent.

expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Collateral Agent may
otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any Secured
Account and agrees that amounts in the Secured Accounts shall at all times be
held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the
Transaction Documents.

               Section 3.10.  CONTROL BY THE CONTROLLING PARTY.  The Collateral
Agent shall comply with notices and instructions given by the Issuer only if
accompanied by the written consent of the Controlling Party, except that if any
Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall act upon and comply with notices and instructions given by the Controlling
Party alone in the place and stead of the Issuer.

                              COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER

          Section 4.1.   PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL.  Subject to the rights,
powers and authorities granted to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling Party
in this Security Agreement, the Issuer shall take such action as is necessary
and proper with respect to the Collateral in order to preserve and maintain such
Collateral and to cause (subject to the rights of the Secured Parties) the
Collateral Agent to perform its obligations with respect to such Collateral as
provided herein.  The Issuer will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause
to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such instruments of transfer
or take such other steps or actions as may be necessary, or required by the
Controlling Party, to perfect the security interests 


                                      10
<PAGE>

granted hereunder in the Collateral, to ensure that such security interests 
rank prior to all other Liens and to preserve the priority of such security 
interests and the validity and enforceability thereof.  Upon any delivery or 
substitution of Collateral, the Issuer shall be obligated to execute such 
documents and perform such actions as are necessary to create in the 
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid first Lien 
on, and valid and perfected first priority security interest in, the 
Collateral so delivered and to deliver such Collateral to the Collateral 
Agent, free and clear of any other Lien, together with satisfactory 
assurances thereof, and to pay any reasonable costs incurred by any of the 
Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent (including its agents) or otherwise 
in connection with such delivery.

          Section 4.2.   NOTICES.  In the event that the Issuer acquires
knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of any Amortization Event or of any
event of default or like event, howsoever described or called, under any of the
Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall immediately give notice thereof to the
Collateral Agent and each Secured Party.

          Section 4.3.   WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS; MARSHALLING OF
ASSETS.  The Issuer covenants, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement,
valuation, stay, extension or redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this
Security Agreement or any absolute sale of the Collateral or any part thereof,
or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under Article VI of this
Security Agreement; and the Issuer, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives the
benefit of all such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.  The Issuer, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all right to have the Collateral
marshalled upon any foreclosure or other disposition thereof.

          Section 4.4.   NONINTERFERENCE, ETC.  The Issuer shall not (i) waive
or alter any of its rights under the Collateral (or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto) without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party; or
(ii) fail to pay any tax, assessment, charge or fee levied or assessed against
the Collateral, or to defend any action, if such failure to pay or defend may
adversely affect the priority or enforceability of the Seller's right, title or
interest in and to the Collateral or the Collateral Agent's lien on, and
security interest in, the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties; or
(iii) take any action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to
take action will interfere with the enforcement of any rights under the
Transaction Documents.

          Section 4.5.   ISSUER CHANGES.

          (a)  CHANGE IN NAME, STRUCTURE, ETC.  The Issuer shall not change its
name, identity or trust structure unless it shall have given each Secured Party
and the Collateral Agent at least 30 days' prior written notice thereof, shall
have effected any necessary or appropriate assignments or amendments thereto and
filings of financing statements or amendments thereto, and shall have delivered
to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party an Opinion of Counsel either (a)
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with
respect to 


                                      11
<PAGE>

the execution and filing of any amendments to previously recorded financing 
statements and continuation statements and other actions as are necessary to 
perfect, maintain and protect the lien and security interest of the 
Collateral Agent (and the priority thereof), on behalf of the Secured 
Parties, with respect to such Collateral against all creditors and purchasers 
from the Issuer and reciting the details of such action, or (b) stating that, 
in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such 
perfected lien and security interest.

           (b)  RELOCATION OF THE ISSUER.  The Issuer shall not change its 
principal executive office unless it gives each Secured Party and the 
Collateral Agent at least 30 days' prior written notice of any relocation of 
its principal executive office.  If the Issuer relocates its principal 
executive office or principal place of business from 7825 Washington Avenue 
South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439-2435, or 1100 North Market Street, Rodney 
Square North, Wilmington, Delaware, 19890-0001, the Issuer shall give prior 
notice thereof to the Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent and shall 
effect whatever appropriate recordations and filings are necessary and shall 
provide an Opinion of Counsel to the Controlling Party and the Collateral 
Agent, to the effect that, upon the recording of any necessary assignments or 
amendments to previously-recorded assignments and filing of any necessary 
amendments to the previously filed financing or continuation statements or 
upon the filing of one or more specified new financing statements, and the 
taking of such other actions as may be specified in such opinion, the 
security interests in the Collateral shall remain, after such relocation, 
valid and perfected.

                                    ARTICLE V

                    CONTROLLING PARTY; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

          Section 5.1.   APPOINTMENT OF CONTROLLING PARTY.  From and after the
Closing Date until the Insurer Termination Date, the Security Insurer shall be
the Controlling Party and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights given the
Controlling Party hereunder.  From and after the Insurer Termination Date until
the Trustee Termination Date, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Agents) shall be the
Controlling Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent (acting
at the direction of the Agents) shall be the Controlling Party until the Trustee
Termination Date.  If prior to an Insurer Termination Date the Administrative
Agent shall have become the Controlling Party as a result of the occurrence of
an Insurer Default and either such Insurer Default is cured or for any other
reason ceases to exist or the Trustee Termination Date occurs, then upon such
cure or other cessation or on such Trustee Termination Date, as the case may be,
the Security Insurer shall, upon notice thereof being duly given to the
Collateral Agent, again be the Controlling Party.

          Section 5.2.   CONTROLLING PARTY'S AUTHORITY.

          (a)  Each of the Issuer, AFL, the Seller and the Secured Parties
hereby irrevocably appoints the Controlling Party, and any successor to the
Controlling Party appointed pursuant to Section 5.1, its true and lawful
attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Issuer, AFL, the
Seller, the Secured Parties or otherwise, but at the expense of the Seller, to
the extent permitted by law to exercise in its sole and absolute discretion, at
any time and from 


                                      12
<PAGE>

time to time while any Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, any 
or all of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral:  
(i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all 
monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (ii) to settle, 
compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with 
respect thereto, (iii) to sell, securitize, transfer, assign or otherwise 
deal with the same or the proceeds thereof as fully and effectively as if the 
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and (iv) to extend the time 
of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other 
adjustments with respect thereto; PROVIDED, that the foregoing powers and 
rights shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of Article VI.

           (b)  Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally 
constitutes and appoints the Controlling Party, and any successor to the 
Controlling Party appointed pursuant to Section 5.1 from time to time, as the 
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Secured Party for so long as such 
Secured Party is a Non-Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to 
execute, acknowledge and deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, 
pleading or instrument and to do in the name of the Controlling Party as well 
as in the name, place and stead of such Secured Party such acts, things and 
deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Secured Party under this 
Security Agreement that such Secured Party could or might do or which may be 
necessary, desirable or convenient in the Controlling Party's sole discretion 
to effect the purposes contemplated hereunder and, without limitation, 
exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any 
and all acts with respect to the administration of the Collateral, and the 
enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, on behalf of and 
for the benefit of the Controlling Party and such Non-Controlling Party, as 
their interests may appear.

          Section 5.3.   RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTIES.  The Non-Controlling Parties
at any time expressly agree that they shall not assert any right that they may
otherwise have, as a Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, to direct the
maintenance, sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof,
notwithstanding the occurrence and continuation of any Amortization Event or any
non-performance by AFL, the Seller or the Issuer of any obligation owed to such
Secured Party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and each party
hereto agrees that the Controlling Party shall be the only Person entitled to
assert and exercise such rights.

          Section 5.4.   DEGREE OF CARE.

          (a)  CONTROLLING PARTY.  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this
Security Agreement, the Controlling Party shall incur no liability to AFL, the
Seller or the Issuer for any action taken or omitted by the Controlling Party in
connection with the Collateral, except for any gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct on the part of the Controlling Party and, further, shall
incur no liability to the Non-Controlling Parties except for a breach of the
terms of this Security Agreement or for gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Non-Controlling Parties.  The
Controlling Party shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such
party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents and
assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature,
instrument or other document believed by the Controlling Party to be genuine and
to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent manifest
error or actual knowledge to the contrary) the 


                                      13
<PAGE>

Controlling Party shall not be required to make any independent investigation 
with respect thereto.  The Controlling Party shall, at all times, be free 
independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction the existence or 
nonexistence, as the case may be, of any fact the existence or nonexistence 
of which shall be a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or 
remedy under this Security Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

          (b)  THE NON-CONTROLLING PARTIES.  The Non-Controlling Parties shall
not be liable to the Seller, AFL or the Issuer for any action or failure to act
by the Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent in exercising, or failing to
exercise, any rights or remedies hereunder.


                                    ARTICLE VI

                               REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

          Section 6.1.   REMEDIES UPON A DEFAULT.

          (a)  If an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the 
Collateral Agent shall, at the direction of the Controlling Party, take 
whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable in 
the judgment of the Controlling Party to collect and satisfy all Secured 
Obligations (including, but not limited to, foreclosure upon the Collateral 
and sale or securitization of the Collateral and all other rights available 
to secured parties under applicable law) or to enforce performance and 
observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant under any of the 
Transaction Documents.  In addition to all other rights and remedies granted 
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this 
Security Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the UCC and other 
applicable law, rules, or regulations, the Collateral Agent may with the 
consent of the Controlling Party, and shall upon the request of the 
Controlling Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such 
Amortization Event, exercise any one or more of the following rights and 
remedies:  foreclose upon or otherwise enforce the security interests in any 
or all Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable law, rules, or 
regulations or in this Security Agreement;  notify any or all Obligors to 
make payments with respect to Receivables directly to the Collateral Agent; 
sell or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral at one or more public or 
private sales, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in 
such manner as the Controlling Party may determine;  require AFL, the Seller 
or the Issuer to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the 
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent;  enter 
onto any property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof 
with or without judicial process; and  enforce any rights of the Issuer under 
any Receivable or other agreement to the extent the Controlling Party deems 
appropriate.  In furtherance of the Collateral Agent's rihts hereunder, each 
of AFL, the Seller and the Issuer hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an 
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other 
payment by the Collateral Agent) to use, license or sublicense any patent, 
trademark, tradename, copyright or other intellectual property in which the 
Issuer now or hereafter has any right, title or interest, together with the 
right of access to all media in which any of the foregoing may be recorded or 
stored.  Each of AFL, the Seller and the Issuer hereby agrees that ten (10) 
days notice of any intended sale or disposition of any Collateral is 
reasonable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be 
entitled to take any action and the Controlling Party shall not be entitled 
to give any direction 


                                      14
<PAGE>

with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent provided herein and in 
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or other Transaction Documents.

          (b)  In the event of any sale, collection, conversion or other 
disposition into cash of the Collateral, or any part thereof, after deducting 
any actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such 
disposition, the Collateral Agent shall deposit the proceeds thereof into the 
Collection Account for distribution on the next succeeding Distribution Date 
in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.6 of the Sale and 
Servicing Agreement.

          (c)  The Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to obtain from AFL, the Seller and the Issuer all records and documentation in
the possession of AFL, the Seller or the Issuer, as the case may be, pertaining
to any Collateral.  Upon consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 6.1,
the Controlling Party, or the Collateral Agent acting on behalf of and at the
direction of the Controlling Party, shall have the right to assign, transfer,
endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof (which may include
the Security Insurer), free and clear of any Lien, the Collateral, or any
portion thereof or any interest therein, so sold.  Each purchaser at any such
sale shall hold the property purchased by it absolutely free and clear from any
claim or right on the part of the Secured Parties, AFL, the Seller or the Issuer
and AFL, the Seller and the Issuer hereby irrevocably waive all rights of
redemption, stay, marshalling of assets or appraisal that either of them now has
or may at any time in the future have under applicable law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted.

          (d)  In addition to the remedies granted in this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, if an Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, at the direction of the Controlling
Party, take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or
desirable in the judgment of the Controlling Party to collect the amounts then
due and thereafter to become due under this Agreement and any of the other
Transaction Documents (including but not limited to, all rights available to
secured parties under applicable law) or to enforce performance and observance
of any obligation, agreement or covenant under any of the Transaction Documents,
including the exercise of the following powers with respect to the Collateral:
(i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all
monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (ii) to settle,
compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect
thereto, (iii) to sell, securitize, transfer, assign or otherwise deal with the
same or the proceeds thereof as fully and effectively as if the Collateral Agent
were the absolute owner thereof, and (iv) to extend the time of payment of any
or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with respect
thereto.  All proceeds of any portion of the Collateral liquidated pursuant to
this Section 6.1 shall be applied as set forth in Subsection (b) above.

          (e)  The Collateral Agent and the Controlling Party, as the case may
be, may exercise the powers and rights granted by this Section 6.1, without
notice or demand to the Indenture Trustee, AFL, the Seller or the Issuer except
as provided in (a) above.

          Section 6.2.   RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  If the Collateral
Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined 


                                      15

<PAGE>

adversely to such Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Seller, 
the Collateral Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall, subject to any 
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to 
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of 
the Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been 
instituted.

          Section 6.3.   NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE.  No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or any
of the Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised by the Controlling Party, and the exercise of or the beginning of the
exercise of any right or power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver
of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power
or remedy.



                                   ARTICLE VII

                                   MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 7.1.   FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each party hereto shall take such
action and deliver such instruments to any other party hereto, in addition to
the actions and instruments specifically provided for herein, as may be
reasonably requested or required to effectuate the purpose or provisions of this
Security Agreement or to confirm or perfect any transaction described or
contemplated herein.

          Section 7.2.   WAIVER.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of
this Security Agreement or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only
prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right,
remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The
failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances,
or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or
provisions of this Security Agreement by any party hereto or the partial
exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a
waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall
continue in full force and effect.

          Section 7.3.   AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.  No amendment, modification,
waiver or supplement to this Security Agreement or any provision of this
Security Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have
been made or consented to in writing by each of the parties hereto; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, for so long as the Security Insurer shall be the Controlling
Party, amendments, modifications, waivers or supplements hereto or any
requirement hereunder to deposit or retain any amounts in the Secured Accounts
shall be effective if made or consented to in writing by the Security Insurer,
the Seller, AFL, the Issuer, the Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral
Agent (the consent of which shall not be withheld or delayed with respect to any
amendment that has been consented to by the Security 

                                        16

<PAGE>

Insurer and that does not adversely affect the Collateral Agent) but shall in 
no circumstances require the consent of the Noteholders.

          Section 7.4.   SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of this
Security Agreement or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any
circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Security Agreement shall, to
any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation
or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Security
Agreement, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to
the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Security
Agreement.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of
competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Collateral Agent or any of
the Secured Parties hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect
in any way the ability of the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties to
pursue any other remedy available to it or them (subject, however, to the
provisions of this Security Agreement limiting such remedies).

          Section 7.5.   NONPETITION COVENANT.  Notwithstanding any prior
termination of this Security Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that
it shall not, prior to one year and one day after the Final Termination Date,
acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Seller or the Issuer to
invoke the process of the United States of America, any State or other political
subdivision thereof or any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial,
regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by or against the Seller or the
Issuer under a Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Seller or the Issuer or all or any part of its
property or assets or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of
the Seller or the Issuer.  The parties agree that damages will be an inadequate
remedy for breach of this covenant and that this covenant may be specifically
enforced.

          Section 7.6.   NOTICES.  All notices, demands, certificates, requests
and communications hereunder ("notices") shall be in writing and shall be
effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the U.S. mails, registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to
be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one
Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The undersigned, Arcadia Automobile Receivables Warehouse Trust, a 
Delaware business trust (the "ISSUER"), and Arcadia Financial Ltd., a 
Minnesota corporation ("AFL"), propose to enter into with you this Amended 
and Restated Note Purchase Agreement which supersedes in its entirety the 
Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 3, 1996, as previously amended, 
among AFL, Arcadia Receivables Conduit Corp. (the "ORIGINAL ISSUER"), 
Receivables Capital Corporation and Bank of America National Trust and 
Savings Association, and to that end, hereby agree with you as follows:

     SECTION 1. THE NOTES. On the Effective Date, the Issuer proposes to 
deliver to (i) Receivables Capital Corporation ("RCC") in exchange for the 
Floating Rate Variable Funding Automobile Receivables-Backed Note (the 
"CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING NOTE") held by RCC, a Floating Rate Variable Funding 
Automobile Receivables-Backed Note (the "RCC NOTE") in the maximum authorized 
principal amount outstanding at any time of $ 225,000,000 (the "RCC PURCHASE 
LIMIT") and (ii) Delaware Funding Corporation ("DFC") (each of RCC and DFC, a 
"PURCHASER" and collectively, the "PURCHASERS"), a Floating Rate Variable 
Funding Automobile Receivables-Backed Note (the "DFC NOTE"; each of the RCC 
Note and the DFC Note, a "NOTE"; and collectively, the RCC Note and the DFC 
Note, the "NOTES") in the maximum authorized principal amount outstanding at 
any time of $175,000,000 (the "DFC PURCHASE LIMIT").  Subject to the terms 
and conditions hereof, the Purchasers agree to fund increases in the 
outstanding principal amount of their respective  Notes (each, a "NOTE 
INCREASE", and the principal amount of any such Note Increase, the "NOTE 
INCREASE AMOUNT"), from time to time during the Purchase Period, in an 
aggregate maximum authorized amount to be outstanding at any time (the 
"MAXIMUM AUTHORIZED AMOUNT") of U.S. $400,000,000.

     The Currently Outstanding Note was issued prior to the Effective Date, 
and the Notes shall be issued by the Issuer on the Effective Date, pursuant 
to the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of July 21, 1998 (as from 
time to time amended, supplemented or modified, the "INDENTURE"), between the 
Issuer and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee (in such 
capacity, the "TRUSTEE") and as Collateral Agent (as defined in the 
Indenture).

     The Indenture provides for Note Increases from time to time upon the 
terms and conditions set forth therein.  On each day on which Note Increases 
are to occur and be funded hereunder, each Purchaser's Note will have a Note 
Increase Amount equal to such Purchaser's Purchase Percentage of the total 
Note Increase Amount effected by the Issuer on such day.  Each Purchaser's 
Purchase Percentage of each Note Increase Amount shall be recorded on the 
grid attached to such Purchaser's Note.  Each Note issued to a Purchaser: (i) 
bears interest (subject to conversion to a fixed rate at the option of the 
related Agent upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event) at a fluctuating 
rate per annum equal to the Note Interest Rate (as defined in the Indenture) 
for such Note; (ii) can be funded by Note Increases in a minimum amount of 
$7,000,000 and any higher amount on any Purchase Date (as defined below), and 
(iii) is subject to prepayment at the option of the Issuer as provided in the 
Indenture.  Each Note shall be issued in the form of a fully registered 
security in certificated form (as contemplated by Article VIII of the New 
York Uniform Commercial Code).

     The Notes are secured by a revolving pool of automobile receivables 
originated by AFL and sold by AFL to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcadia 
Receivables Finance Corp. ("ARFC"), and by ARFC to the Issuer, and by 
collections received in respect thereof.  Payment of principal and interest 
on the entire Maximum Authorized Amount of Notes is insured by Financial 
Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA") under a financial guaranty insurance policy 
(the "POLICY") dated December 3, 1996, Endorsement No. 1 to the Policy, dated 
December 3, 1996, Endorsement No. 2 to the Policy, dated August 4, 1997, 
Endorsement No. 3 to the Policy, dated November 14, 1997, and Endorsement No. 
4 to the Policy, dated July 21, 1998.

   The Issuer, the Original Issuer, the RCC Agent, the Administrative Agent, 
the DFC Agent, AFL, ARFC and the Trustee have entered into an Amended and 
Restated Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 21, 1998 (as from 
time to time amended, supplemented or modified, the "SALE AND SERVICING 
AGREEMENT"), which provides for the sale of Receivables from time to time by 
ARFC to the Trust, the servicing of the Receivables and certain other matters.

     SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE, EXCHANGE AND PURCHASE; FUNDING OF NOTE 
INCREASES. On the Effective Date, RCC shall receive its RCC Note in exchange 
for the Currently Outstanding Note and DFC shall receive its DFC Note.  
During the Purchase Period and subject to the terms and conditions of, and in 
reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in, 
this Agreement, the Purchasers agree to fund, from time to time on each date 
as specified in Section 3 hereof (each, a "PURCHASE DATE") the Note Increase 
on such Purchase Date in an amount of the Note Increase Amount up to an 
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum 
Authorized Amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of such Note Increase 
Amount (the "PURCHASE PRICE").  Each Purchaser shall fund its Purchase 
Percentage of a Note Increase Amount on any day and shall pay its Purchase 
Percentage of the Purchase Price.  No Purchaser shall be required to fund a 
Note Increase Amount in excess of its Purchase Limit.

     SECTION 3. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT. The Issuer will provide each Agent with 
written notice of each Purchase Date and of the Note Increase Amount to be 
funded on such Purchase Date no later than 12:00 noon (Minneapolis, Minnesota 
time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Purchase Date; PROVIDED, that if 
the Purchase Price for the Note Increase Amount on a Purchase Date is less 
than or equal to $15,000,000, then such notice may be made no later than 
11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Purchase Date; PROVIDED FURTHER, that 
if such notice is given on a Purchase Date, the Purchasers will not be 
obligated to fund the Note Increase Amount on such Purchase Date unless the 
Purchasers are able to issue and sell their respective Commercial Paper Notes 
in an amount sufficient to fund such Note Increase Amount, and AFL and the 
Issuer agree to hold harmless the Purchasers for failing to effect a funding 
on such Purchase Date.  Each Note Increase shall be recorded on the grid 
attached to each Purchaser's Note by the applicable Agent on each Purchase 
Date.  The notation of the Note Increase shall be made against payment by 
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Norwest Bank 
Minnesota, National Association as Trustee for Arcadia Receivables Conduit 
Warehouse, Clearing Account #1038377, Norwest Bank Minnesota, National 
Association, ABA # 091000019, for further credit to Arcadia Automobile 
Receivables Warehouse Trust A-C # 13284501 in the amount of the Purchase 
Price.  The Administrative Agent agrees to notify the RCC Agent and the DFC 
Agent of the receipt of a Purchase Date notice by 2:00 p.m. (New York


                                       3

City time) on the day received by the Administrative Agent.  Each Agent 
agrees to collect the Purchase Price due or any Purchase Date from its 
related Purchaser.

advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action, which would 
constitute a public distribution of the Notes under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"), or which would render the disposition of 
any Note a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or any state securities 
laws, or require registration or qualification pursuant thereto or require

amended, nor will the Issuer act, nor has the Issuer authorized or will it 
authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to any Note.

of any Event of Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or of any

     SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Without limiting any other rights that 
the Administrative Agent, a Purchaser, an Agent or any of their respective 
Affiliates, employees, agents, successors, transfers or assigns (each, an 
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer 
hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and 
all claims, damages, expenses, losses and liabilities (including fees and 
expenses of counsel) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as 
"INDEMNIFIED AMOUNTS")  arising out of or resulting from this Agreement and 
the Basic Agreements (whether directly or indirectly) or the ownership of the 
Notes, or any interest therein, or in respect of any Receivable, excluding, 
however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross 
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (ii) 
any losses arising out of or relating to any non-payment of any Receivable, 
or (iii) any overall net income tax es or franchise taxes imposed on such 
Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such 
Indemnified Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof.

     (b)  Without limiting any other rights that the Indemnified Parties may 
have hereunder or under applicable law, AFL hereby agrees to indemnify each 
Ind  emnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts for or 
on account of or arising from or in connection with any breach of any rep 
resentation, warranty or covenant of AFL in this Note Purchase Agreement or 
any Basic Agreement or in any certificate or other written material 
delivered pur suant hereto or thereto, excluding, however, (i) Indemnified 
Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct 
on the part of such Indemnified Party and (ii) any overall net income taxes 
or franchise taxes imposed on such Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction 
under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is organized or any political 
subdivision thereof.

     (c)  In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any 
indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out 
of, or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a 
"THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party must notify the Issuer or AFL, 
as applicable, in writing of the Third Party Claim within five Business Days 
of receipt of a summons, complaint or other notice of the commencement of 
litigation and within ten Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified 
Party of any other written notice of the Third Party Claim.  Thereafter, the 
Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, within a 
reasonable time after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all 
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified 
Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

     (d)  If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, (x) 
the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, will be entitled to participate in the 
defense thereof and, (y) if either so chooses, to assume the defense thereof 
with counsel selected by the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, provided that in 
connection with such assumption (i) such counsel is not reasonably objected 
to by the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, first 
admits in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party with 
respect to all elements of such claim in full.  Should the Issuer or AFL, as 
applicable, so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Issuer 
or AFL, as applicable, will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any 
legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection 
with the defense thereof.  If the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, elects to 
assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the 


                                       12
<PAGE>

Indemnified Party will (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the 
Issuer or AFL in connection with such defense and (ii) not admit any 
liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third 
Party Claim without the Issuer's or AFL's prior written consent, as the case 
may be.  If the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, shall assume the defense of any 
Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in 
(but not control) such defense with its own counsel at its own expense.  If 
the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, does not assume the defense of any such 
Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner 
as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation after 
giving notice to the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, of such terms and the 
Issuer or AFL, as applicable, will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party 
upon written request.  Anything contained in this Note Purchase Agreement to 
the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer or AFL, as applicable, shall not be 
entitled to assume the defense of any part of a Third Party Claim that seeks 
an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money 
damages against the Indemnified Party.

     SECTION 11. INCREASED COSTS. (a)  If the Purchaser, any Liquidity 
Purchaser, any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective 
Affiliates (each an "AFFECTED PERSON") determines that the existence of or 
compliance with (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the 
interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or 
occurring after the date hereof or (ii) any request, guideline or directive 
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having 
the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement 
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be 
maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that 
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any 
commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in 
the Notes or the applicable Liquidity Agreement or any other applicable 
Program Support Document, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a 
copy to the applicable Agent), the Issuer agrees to immediately pay to such 
Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as 
specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to 
compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the 
extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in 
capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments.  A 
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Issuer and such Agent by such 
Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent 
manifest error.

     (b)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any
Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the
ownership of the Notes in respect of which interest is computed by reference to
the Offshore Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, then, upon demand by such Affected
Person, the Issuer agrees to immediately pay to such Affected Person, from time
to time as specified, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected
Person for such increased costs.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to
the Issuer by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.


                                       13

     (c)  Before giving any notice to the Issuer under this Section 11, the 
Affected Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a 
different office with respect to its purchase of Notes or its provision of 
liquidity or credit sup  port under the relevant Program Support Document if 
such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such 
demand and will not, in the judgment of the Affected Person, be illegal or 
otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.

     (d)  Upon the receipt by the Issuer of a claim for reimbursement or 
compensation under this Section 11 related to the ownership of a Note or any 
interest therein by an Affected Person, and payment thereof hereunder shall 
not be waived by such Affected Person, the Issuer may (i) request the 
Affected Person to use its reasonable efforts to obtain a replacement bank, 
financial institution or asset-backed commercial paper conduit, as 
applicable, satisfactory to the Issuer to  acquire and assume all or a 
ratable part of all of such Affected Person's Note or interests therein (a 
"REPLACEMENT PURCHASER"), (ii) request one or more of the other Noteholders 
or Liquidity Purchasers to acquire and assume all or a part of such Affected 
Person's Note or interests therein; or (iii) designate a Replacement 
Purchaser.  Any such designation of a Replacement Purchaser under CLAUSE (i) 
or (iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of each Agent (which 
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Upon notice from the Issuer, 
such Affected Person shall assign its Note or interests therein and its other 
rights and obligations (if any) hereunder or a ratable share thereof to the 
Replacement Purchaser or Replacement Purchasers designated by the Issuer for 
a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Notes or 
interests therein so assigned and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and 
any other amounts (including fees) to which it is entitled hereunder or under 
any Basic Agreement or other Program Support Document (including any fee 
letters entered into in connection therewith); PROVIDED, that the Issuer 
shall provide such Affected Person with an officer's certificate stating that 
such Replacement Purchaser has advised the Issuer that it is not subject to, 
or has agreed not to seek, such increased amount.

     (e)  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the payment rights 
provided for in this Section 11 are not insured under the Policy.

     SECTION 12. NOTICES.  (a)  All communications provided for or permitted 
hereunder and under any other Basic Agreement shall be in writing and shall 
be delivered, sent by overnight courier or mailed or transmitted by 
telecopier and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to a Purchaser, or 
the Administrative Agent, addressed to a Purchaser, the Administrative Agent 
or an Agent, as applicable, at the addresses shown on page 1 of this 
Agreement, or to such other address as a Purchaser, an Agent or the 
Administrative Agent may have designated in writing to the Issuer, and if to 
the Issuer, AFL or the Rating Agencies, to their respective addresses set 
forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to such other address as the 
Issuer or AFL may have designated in writing to a Purchaser.

     (b)  All such written communications shall, when so sent by overnight 
courier, telecopied or mailed, be deemed given when delivered to the 
overnight courier, when telephone confirmation of telecopy is received, or, 
in the case of communications by mail, on the fourth Business Day following 
deposit in the mails.  All other written communications shall be deemed to 
have been given upon receipt thereof.

     SECTION 13. COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in several 
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which 
together shall constitute one instrument notwithstanding that all parties are 
not signatories to the same counterparts.

agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters and

     SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND 
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT 
REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.  THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMIT 
TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR UNITED STATES 
FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, OVER 
ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS 
AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY BASIC AGREEMENT AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO 
THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AS WELL AS ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM.

     SECTION 16. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.  If any one or more of the 
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any 
reason whatsoever held invalid, the invalidity of any such covenant, 
agreement, provision or term of this Agreement shall in no way affect the 
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement, 
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the invalidity of any covenant, agreement or 
provision shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be 
conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to 
develop a structure the economic effect of which is as nearly as possible the 
same as the economic effect of this Agreement.

     SECTION 17. SURVIVAL.  All representations, warranties and covenants 
made by the Issuer herein shall be considered to have been relied upon by you 
and shall survive the delivery to you of the Notes regardless of any 
investigation made by you or on your behalf.

     SECTION 18. LIMITED RECOURSE.  This Agreement is solely a corporate 
obligation of the Issuer, AFL, the Administrative Agent, each Agent and each 
Purchaser.  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, under this 
Purchase Agreement or any certificate or other writing delivered in 
connection herewith against any stockholder, incorporator, employee, officer,

Purchaser or either Agent.  The obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be 
payable solely out of the Trust Property.

<PAGE>


litigation arising directly or indirectly out of, under or in connection with 
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

     SECTION 21. MATTERS RELATING TO AGENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

     (a)  DFC hereby accepts the appointment of and authorizes the DFC Agent 
to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are 
delegated to the DFC Agent by the terms hereof and any other Basic 
Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  
RCC hereby accepts the appointment of and authorizes the RCC Agent to take 
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are 
delegated to the RCC Agent by the terms hereof and any other Basic 
Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  
Each Purchaser and each Agent hereby accepts the appointment of and 
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its 
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative 
Agent by the terms hereof and the other Basic Agreements, together with such 
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Each of the Agents and the 
Administrative Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take any 
actions, exercise any rights or remedies under this Note Purchase Agreement 
and any Basic Agreements.  Except for actions which the Administrative Agent 
or either Agent is expressly required to take pursuant to this Note Purchase 
Agreement or the applicable Liquidity Agreement, the Administrative Agent or 
an Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the 
Administrative Agent or such Agent to personal liability or which is contrary 
to applicable law unless such Person shall receive further assurances to its 
satisfaction of indemnification against any and all liability and expense 
which may be incurred in taking or continuing to take such action.  Each 
Agent and the Administrative Agent agrees to give its respective Purchaser 
and Liquidity Purchasers and the Agents, as applicable, prompt notice of each 
notice and determination given to it by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner 
Trustee or the Trustee, pursuant to the terms of this Note Purchase Agreement 
or any Basic Agreement.  Subject to clause (e) hereof or any Basic Agreement, 
the appointment and authority of the Agents and the Administrative Agent 
hereunder shall terminate after the Purchase Period upon the payment to each 
Purchaser of all amounts owing to such Purchaser.

     (b)  The Administrative Agent agrees to provide to each Agent (i) prompt 
notice of eac  h notice the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as 
Administrative Agent) receives pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other 
Basic Agreements and (ii) copies of each written notice, certificate, report 
or other document that the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as 
Administrative Agent) receives hereunder or under any of the other Basic 
Agreements, other than any document which is, in the reasonable judgment of 
the Administrative Agent, immaterial.

     (c)  Neither the Agents nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their 
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any 
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent or Administrative 
Agent under or in connection with this Note Purchase Agreement or any Basic 
Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.


                                       16
<PAGE>


     (d)  Each Purchaser and Liquidity Purchaser acknowledges or is deemed to 
have acknowledged that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 
Administrative Agent or the Agents, and based on such documents and 
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and 
decision to enter into this Note Purchase Agreement and to purchase its Notes 
or a portion thereof. Each Purchaser and Liquidity Purchaser also 
acknowledges or is deemed to have acknowledged that it will, independently 
and without reliance upon the Agents or the Administrative Agent, and based 
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, 
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this 
Note Purchase Agreement or any Basic Agreement.

     (e)  Each Agent or the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by 
giving thirty days' written notice thereof to the Purchasers, the other 
Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, FSA and the Indenture 
Trustee.  Upon any such resignation, each Purchaser shall have the right to 
appoint a related successor Agent and the Purchasers and the Agents shall 
have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by the 
Issuer (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Upon 
the acceptance of any appointment as Agent or Administrative Agent hereunder 
by a successor Agent or Administrative Agent, such successor Agent or 
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of 
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent or 
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative 
Agent or Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this 
Note Purchase Agreement.

     (f)  Each Agent (pro rata in accordance with its related Purchaser's 
Purchase Percentage) hereby severally covenants and agrees to indemnify the 
Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, officers, employees and agents 
for, and hold the Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, employees 
and agents harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including the 
costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability) arising out 
of or in connection with the Administrative Agent acting as Administrative 
Agent hereunder or under any Basic Agreement, except such loss, liability or 
expense as shall result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful 
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or its officers or agents.  The 
obligation of the Agents under this Section 21 shall survive the termination 
of this Note Purchase Agreement or the resignation of the Administrative 
Agent.

     SECTION 22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. It is expressly understood and 
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and 
delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but 
solely as Owner Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority 
conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and 
agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as 
a personal representation, undertaking or agreement by Wilmington Trust 
Company but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, 
(c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on 
Wilmington Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant 
either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, 
being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, 
through or under such parties and (d) under no circumstances shall Wilmington 
Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or 
expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any 
obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the 
Issuer under this Agreement or the Basic Agreements.

     effect upon the Transaction.

          (f)     VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  Each of the Transaction

     obligations of such Person, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
     except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
     rights generally and general equitable principles. The Securities when

     Transaction Document to which it is a


                                      3
<PAGE>

     party, except (in each case) such as have been obtained and are in full 
     force and effect.

          (h)     COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.  No practice, procedure or policy

     order or decree applicable to it which, if enforced, would result in a
     Material Adverse Change with respect to such Person.

          (i)     GOOD TITLE; VALID TRANSFER ABSENCE OF LIENS; SECURITY
                  INTEREST.

                  (i)   Immediately prior to the transfer of any Receivables 
          and related Other Conveyed Property to ARFC pursuant to the 
          Receivables Purchase Agreement and Assignment, AFL was or will have 
          been the owner of, and had or will have had good and marketable 
          title to, such Receivables free and clear of all Liens and 
          Restrictions on Transferability, and had or will have had full 
          right, corporate power and lawful authority to assign, transfer and 
          pledge such Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property and 
          immediately following such transfer ARFC will be the owner of, and 
          have good and marketable title to, such Receivables and related 
          Other Conveyed Property free and clear of all Liens and 
          Restrictions on Transferability. Each such transfer pursuant to the 
          Receivables Purchase Agreement and Assignment constitutes or will 
          constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment of such 
          Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property to ARFC enforceable 
          against creditors of and purchasers from AFL. In the event that, in 
          contravention of the intention of the parties, a transfer of 
          Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property by AFL to ARFC is 
          characterized as other than a sale, such transfer shall be 
          characterized as a secured financing, and ARFC shall have a valid 
          and perfected first priority security interest in such Receivables 
          and related Other Conveyed Property free and clear of all Liens and 
          Restrictions on Transferability, subject to the provisions of the 
          Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  (ii)  Immediately prior to the transfer of any Receivables 
          and related Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to the 
          Sale and Servicing Agreement, ARFC was or will have been the owner 
          of, and had good and marketable title to, such property free and 
          clear of all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability, and had or 
          will have had full right, corporate power and lawful authority to 
          assign, transfer and pledge such Receivables. In the event that a 
          transfer of the Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property by 
          ARFC to the Issuer is characterized as other than a sale, such 
          transfer shall be characterized as a secured financing, and the 
          Issuer shall have a valid and perfected first priority security 
          interest in such Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property 
          free and clear of all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability, 
          other than the Lien of the Security Agreement in favor of the 
          Collateral Agent.

          (j)     ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.  None of the Transaction Documents
     nor any of the other Provided Documents provided by AFL or ARFC contain any
     statement of a material fact with respect to AFL or ARFC or the Transaction
     that was untrue or misleading in any material respect when made (except
     insofar as any such Document was connected or superseded by a subsequent
     Provided Document and Financial Security has not detrimentally relied on
     the original Provided Document). There is no fact known to AFL or ARFC
     which has a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with
     respect to either of them or which has a material possibility of impairing
     the value or marketability of the Receivables, taken as a whole, or
     decreasing the possibility that amounts due in respect of the Receivables
     will be collected as due. Since the furnishing of the Provided Documents,
     there has been no change, or any development or event involving a
     prospective change known to AFL or ARFC that would render any
     representation or warranty or other statement made by either of them in any
     of the Provided Documents untrue or misleading in any material respect.

          (k)     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  The Financial Statements of AFL, copies
     of which have been furnished to Financial Security, (i) are, as of the
     dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all
     material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results
     of operations of such Person as of the dates and for the periods indicated
     and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles consistently applied, except as noted therein
     (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments).  Since
     the date of the most recent Financial Statements with respect to such
     Person, there has been no material adverse change in such financial
     condition or results of operations of such Person.  Except as disclosed in
     the Financial Statements, AFL is not subject to any contingent liabilities
     or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
     possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change in respect of AFL.

          (l)     ERISA.  AFL is in compliance with ERISA in all material
     respects and has not incurred and does not reasonably expect to incur any
     material liabilities to the PBGC under ERISA in connection with any Plan or
     Multiemployer Plan or to contribute now or in the future in respect of any
     Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

          (m)     COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  ARFC is not required to be
     registered as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act and
     is not subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange
     Act.

          (n)     TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.  Each of the representations and
     warranties of AFL and ARFC contained in the Transaction Documents is true
     and correct in all material respects and each of AFL and ARFC hereby makes
     each such representation and warranty made by it to, and for the benefit
     of, Financial Security as if the same were set forth in full herein.

          (o)     SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.


                                      5
<PAGE>

                  (i)   The capital of ARFC is adequate for the business and  
          undertakings of ARFC.

                  (ii)  Other than with respect to the ownership by AFL of 
          the stock of ARFC and as provided in this Agreement and the 
          Receivables Purchase Agreement and Assignment, the Sale and 
          Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Spread Account 
          Agreement, and in connection with the Term Transactions, ARFC is 
          not engaged in any business transactions with AFL or any affiliate 
          of AFL.

                  (iii) At least one director of ARFC shall be a person who 
          is not, and will not be, a director, officer, employee or holder of 
          any equity securities of AFL or any of its affiliates or 
          Subsidiaries.

                  (iv)  The funds and assets of ARFC are not, and will not 
          be,  commingled with the funds of any other person.

                  (v)   The bylaws of ARFC require it to maintain (A) correct 
          and complete minute books and records of account, and (B) minutes 
          of the meetings and other proceedings of its shareholders and board 
          of directors.

          (p)     SOLVENCY; FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE.  Each of AFL and ARFC is
     solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the Transaction and, after
     giving effect to the Transaction, neither AFL nor ARFC will be left with an
     unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.
     Neither AFL nor ARFC intends to incur, or believes that it has incurred,
     debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Neither AFL nor
     ARFC contemplates the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation
     or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
     conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of AFL or ARFC or any
     of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by ARFC upon the
     transfer of Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer
     constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the
     Receivables and such Other Conveyed Property. The amount of consideration
     being received by AFL upon the sale of the Receivables and related Other
     Conveyed Property to ARFC constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair
     consideration for the Receivables and such Other Conveyed Property. Neither
     AFL nor ARFC is entering into the Transaction Documents or consummating the
     transactions contemplated thereby with any intent to hinder, delay or
     defraud any of the Issuer's creditors.

          (q)     TAXES.  Each of AFL and ARFC has, and each member of the
     respective affiliated groups of corporations of which such Person is a
     member has, filed all federal and state tax returns which are required to
     be filed and paid all taxes, including any assessments received by such
     Person, to the extent that such taxes have become due other than taxes that
     such Person shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good
     faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books
     adequate reserves with respect thereto. Any taxes, fees


                                      6
<PAGE>

     and other governmental charges payable by AFL or ARFC in connection with 
     the Transaction, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents 
     and the issuance of the Securities have been paid or shall have been 
     paid at or prior to the Date of Issuance.

          (r)     PLEDGE OF SHARES.  The shares of stock of ARFC which have been
     pledged pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement constitute all of the issued
     and outstanding shares of ARFC.

          (s)     PERFECTION OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTEREST.  The Lien and
     security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the
     Receivables and Other Conveyed Property will be perfected by the filing of
     financing statements on Form UCC-1 on or prior to the Date of Issuance in
     each jurisdiction where such recording or filing is necessary for the
     perfection thereof, the delivery of the Receivable Files for the
     Receivables to the Custodian, and the establishment of the Collection
     Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Spread Account in accordance
     with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and no other filings in
     any jurisdiction or any other actions (except as expressly provided herein)
     are necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent's Lien on and security
     interest in the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property as against any
     third parties.

          (t)     SECURITY INTEREST IN ACCOUNTS.  Assuming the retention of
     funds in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the
     Spread Account and the acquisition of Eligible Investments, in each case,
     in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such funds and Eligible
     Investments will be subject to a valid and perfected, first priority
     security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of Financial
     Security and the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

          Section 2.02.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF AFL AND ARFC.

          AFL and ARFC jointly and severally hereby agree, during the Term of
this Agreement, unless Financial Security shall otherwise expressly consent in
writing, as follows:

          (a)     COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENTS AND APPLICABLE LAWS.  Each of AFL
     and ARFC shall perform each of its respective obligations under the
     Transaction Documents and shall comply with all material requirements of
     any law, rule or regulation applicable to it or thereto, or that are
     required in connection with its performance under any of the Transaction
     Documents. Neither AFL nor ARFC will cause or permit to become effective
     any amendment to or modification of any of the Transaction Documents to
     which it is a party unless (i) so long as no Insurer Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing Financial Security shall have previously
     approved in writing the form of such amendment or modification or (ii) if
     an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing such amendment
     would not adversely affect the interests of Financial Security. Neither

          or (C) AFL or ARFC is to cease and desist any practice, procedure 
          or policy employed by AFL or ARFC in the conduct of its business, 
          and such cessation may result in a Material Adverse Change with 
          respect to AFL or ARFC; or

                  (vi)  any other event, circumstance or condition that has 
          resulted, or which such Person reasonably believes might result, in 
          a Material Adverse Change in respect of AFL or ARFC.


                                      10
<PAGE>

          (e)     FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each of AFL and ARFC will file all
     necessary financing statements, assignments or other instruments, and any
     amendments or continuation statements relating thereto, necessary to be
     kept and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
     to preserve and protect fully the Lien on and security interest in, and all
     rights of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee for the
     Noteholders and Financial Security, with respect to, the Receivables, the
     Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Spread Account.
     In addition, each of AFL and ARFC shall, upon the request of Financial
     Security, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to
     be executed, acknowledged and delivered, within thirty (30) days of such
     request, such amendments hereto and such further instruments and take such
     further action as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the intention,
     performance and provisions of the Transaction Documents or to protect the
     interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee for
     Noteholders and Financial Security, in the Receivables, the Collection
     Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Spread Account, free and
     clear of all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability except the
     Restrictions on Transferability imposed by the Transaction Documents. In
     addition, each of AFL and ARFC agrees to cooperate with S&P and Moody's in
     connection with any review of the Transaction which may be undertaken by
     S&P and Moody's after the date hereof.

          (f)     THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY.  Each of AFL and ARFC agrees that
     Financial Security shall have all rights of a third-party beneficiary in
     respect of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and hereby incorporates and
     restates its representations, warranties and covenants as set forth therein
     for the benefit of Financial Security.

          (g)     CORPORATE EXISTENCE.  Each of AFL and ARFC shall maintain its
     corporate existence and shall at all times continue to be duly organized
     under the laws of the State of Minnesota or laws of the State of Delaware,

     accordance with the terms of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

          (h)     SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.

                  (i)   ARFC shall conduct its business solely in its own 
          name through its duly authorized officers or agents so as not to 
          mislead others as to the identity of the entity with which those 
          others are concerned. It particularly will use its best efforts to 
          avoid the appearance of conducting business on behalf of AFL or any 
          affiliate of AFL and to avoid the appearance that the assets of 
          ARFC are available to pay the creditors of AFL or any affiliate 
          thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all oral 
          and written communications, including, without limitation, letters, 
          invoices, purchase orders, contracts, statements and loan 
          applications, will be made solely in the name of ARFC.

                  (ii)  ARFC shall maintain corporate records and books of 
          account separate from those of AFL and the affiliates thereof. 
          ARFC's books and records shall clearly reflect the transfer of the 
          Receivables to the Issuer.

                  (iii) ARFC shall obtain proper authorization from its Board 
          of Directors of all corporate action requiring such authorization,

          within two weeks of such meeting.

                  (iv)  ARFC shall obtain proper authorization from its 
          shareholders of all corporate action requiring shareholder 
          approval, meetings of the shareholders of ARFC shall be held not 
          less frequently than one time per annum and copies of each such 
          authorization and the minutes of each such shareholder meeting 
          shall be delivered to Financial Security within two weeks of such 
          authorization or meeting, as the case may be.

                  (v)   Although the organizational expenses of ARFC have 
          been paid by AFL, operating expenses and liabilities of ARFC shall 
          be paid from its own funds. If AFL transfers funds to ARFC which 
          funds ARFC applies to the satisfaction of an obligation under the 
          Transaction Documents, such transfer shall be characterized by ARFC 
          and AFL as a loan recourse only to amounts available for payment to 
          AFL pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Spread Account Agreement, shall 
          be pursuant to documentation substantially in the form set forth as 
          Exhibit C to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and ARFC's 
          obligation to AFL with respect to such loan shall be limited to the 
          amounts so available; ARFC and AFL covenant and agree that any such 
          available amounts shall be applied to the satisfaction of any 
          amounts outstanding under any such loan, prior to distribution by 
          ARFC on or in respect of the capital stock of ARFC.

                  (vi)  The annual financial statements of ARFC shall 
          disclose the effects of its transactions in accordance with 
          generally accepted accounting principles and shall disclose that 
          the assets of ARFC are not available to pay creditors of AFL or any 
          affiliate of AFL.

                  (vii) The resolutions, agreements and other instruments of 
          ARFC underlying the transactions described in this Agreement and in 
          the other Transaction Documents shall be continuously maintained by 
          ARFC as official records of ARFC separately identified and held 
          apart from the records of AFL and each affiliate of AFL.

                  (viii)     ARFC shall maintain an arm's-length relationship 
          with AFL and the affiliates thereof and will not hold itself out as 
          being liable for the debts of AFL or any of AFL's affiliates.

                  (ix)  ARFC shall keep its assets and liabilities wholly 
          separate from those of all other entities, including, but not 
          limited to, AFL and its affiliates.

                  (x)   The books and records of ARFC will be maintained at 
          7825 Washington Avenue South, Suite 900, Minneapolis, Minnesota 
          55439-2435, unless it shall otherwise advise the parties hereto in 
          writing. ARFC shall, upon the request of Financial Security, permit 
          Financial Security or its authorized agents to inspect its books 
          and records.

          (i)     MAINTENANCE OF LICENSES.  Each of AFL and ARFC shall maintain
     all licenses, permits, charters and registrations which are material to the
     performance by it of its obligations under this Insurance Agreement and
     each other Transaction Document to which is a party or by which it is
     bound.

          (j)     MAINTENANCE OF WAREHOUSING FACILITIES.  AFL and its
     Subsidiaries shall at all times have warehousing facilities (other than
     that contemplated by the Transaction) under which the amount of credit

     automobile receivables originated by AFL, together with the sum of the
     amount of unrestricted cash on AFL's balance sheet and the aggregate
     principal balance of automobile receivables eligible to be pledged by AFL
     (but not pledged) under the Transaction or such warehouse facilities as of
     the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, at least equal to
     $250,000,000.

          (k)     PROVISION OF INFORMATION.  ARFC shall provide the Independent
     Accountants with such information as is necessary to conduct the review

          (l)     CLOSING DOCUMENTS.  AFL shall provide or cause to be provided
     to Financial Security an executed original copy of each document executed
     in connection with the Transaction within 30 days after the Closing Date,
     except that AFL shall cause a copy of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
     Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, and each Transaction Document to which
     Financial Security is a party to be provided to Financial Security on the
     Closing Date.

          (m)     INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS.  Each of AFL and ARFC agrees to

     incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or
     consent to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a
     contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien
     or Restriction on Transferability of the Receivables and related Other
     Conveyed Property except for (w) the Liens imposed by the Transaction
     Documents, and (x) Liens for taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be
     due and payable or if the Issuer shall currently be contesting the validity
     thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside
     on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and (y) the
     Restrictions on Transferability imposed by the Transaction Documents, or
     (ii) sign or file under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any
     financing statement which names either AFL, ARFC or the Issuer as a debtor,
     or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to
     file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables, except in
     each case any such instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the
     Lien of the Issuer or of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
     Trustee for the Noteholders and Financial Security.

          (b)     IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS.  Neither AFL nor ARFC shall take any
     action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take

     obligations of the Trustee, the Noteholders or Financial Security, (ii)
     result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of the Receivables or (iii)

     or liquidate or dissolve, provided that AFL may consolidate with, merge
     with or into, or transfer all or a material part of its assets to, another
     corporation if (i) the acquiror of its assets, or the corporation surviving
     such merger or consolidation, shall be organized and existing under the
     laws of any state and shall be qualified to transact business in each
     jurisdiction in which failure to qualify would render any Transaction
     Document unenforceable or would result in a Material Adverse Change in
     respect of AFL or the Other Conveyed Property; (ii) after giving effect to
     such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, no Default or Event of
     Default shall have occurred or be continuing; (iii) such acquiring or

     Transaction Documents and shall expressly assume in writing all of the
     obligations of AFL, including, without limitation, its obligations under
     the Transaction Documents; and (iv) such acquiring or surviving entity and
     the consolidated group of which it is a part shall each have a net worth
     immediately subsequent to such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets
     at least equal to the net worth of AFL immediately prior to such
     consolidation, merger or transfer of assets; and AFL shall give Financial
     Security written notice of any such consolidation, merger or transfer of
     assets on the earlier of: (A) the date upon which any publicly available
     filing or release is made with respect to such action or (B) 10 Business
     Days prior to the date of consummation


                                      14

     requested by it that is reasonably necessary to determine compliance with 
     this paragraph.

          (d)     WAIVER, AMENDMENTS, ETC.  Neither AFL nor ARFC shall waive,
     modify, amend, supplement or consent to any waiver, modification or
     amendment of, any of the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents or
     the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of ARFC (i) unless, if no
     Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Financial Security
     shall have consented thereto in writing or (ii) if an Insurer Default shall
     have occurred and be continuing, which would adversely affect the interests
     of Financial Security.

          (e)     SUCCESSORS.  Neither AFL nor ARFC shall terminate or
     designate, or consent to the termination or designation of, the servicer,

     endorse or otherwise be or become directly or contingently liable for the

                  (ii)  knowingly participate in any "prohibited transaction" 
          (as defined in ERISA) involving any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or

                  (iii) fail to pay to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan any 
          contribution which it is obligated to pay under the terms of such 
          Plan or Multiemployer Plan, if such failure would cause such Plan 
          to have any material Accumulated Funding Deficiency, whether or not 
          waived; or

                  (iv)  allow or suffer to exist any occurrence of a 
          Reportable Event, or any other event or condition, which presents a 
          material risk of termination by the PBGC of any Plan or 
          Multiemployer Plan, to the extent that the occurrence or 
          nonoccurrence of such Reportable Event or other event or condition 
          is within the control of it or any Commonly Controlled Entity.

     capital stock, unless (in each case) at the time of such declaration or
     payment (and after giving effect thereto) no amount payable by ARFC under

          Section 2.04.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AFL AND THE ISSUER.

          Each of AFL and the Issuer represent and warrant as of the date 
hereof and as of the Date of Issuance, as follows:

          (a)     DUE ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION.  The Issuer is duly 
     formed and validly existing as a Delaware statutory business trust and 
     is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power 
     and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business.  The 
     Issuer is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing and has 
     obtained all necessary licenses, permits, charters, registrations and 
     approvals (together, "approvals") necessary for the conduct of its 
     business as described in the Transaction Documents and the performance 
     of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, in each jurisdiction 
     in which the failure to be so qualified or to obtain such approvals 
     would render the Receivables in such jurisdiction or any Transaction 
     Document unenforceable in any respect or would otherwise have a material 
     adverse effect upon the Transaction.

          (b)     POWER AND AUTHORITY.  The Issuer has all necessary trust 
     power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, to 
     execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and 
     each other Transaction Document to which the Issuer is a party and to 
     carry out the terms of each such Transaction Document, and has full 
     power and authority to sell and assign the Receivables as contemplated 
     by the Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transaction.

          (c)     DUE AUTHORIZATION.  The execution, delivery and performance 
     of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the 
     Issuer is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action on 
     the part of the Issuer and does not require any additional approvals or 
     consents or other action by or any notice to or filing with any Person 
     by or on behalf of the Issuer, including, without limitation, any 
     governmental entity.

          (d)     NONCONTRAVENTION.  Neither the execution and delivery of 
     this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Issuer 
     is a party, the consummation of the Transaction nor the satisfaction of 
     the terms and conditions of this Agreement and each other Transaction 
     Document to which the Issuer is a party,

                  (i)   conflicts with or results in any breach or violation 
          of any provision of the Certificate of Trust or the Trust Agreement 
          or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, 
          decree, determination or


                                      17
<PAGE>

          award currently in effect having applicability to the Issuer or any 
          of its properties, including regulations issued by an 
          administrative agency or other governmental authority having 
          supervisory powers over the Issuer,

                  (ii)  constitutes a default by the Issuer under or a breach 
          of any provision of any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or 
          other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by 
          which it or any of its properties is or may be bound or affected, or

                  (iii) results in or requires the creation of any Lien upon 
          or in respect of any of the Issuer's assets except as otherwise 
          expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

          (e)     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  There is no action, proceeding or 
     investigation pending, or, to the Issuer's best knowledge, threatened, 
     before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, arbitrator or 
     governmental agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction over the 
     Issuer or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement 
     or any other Transaction Document to which the Issuer is a party, (B) 
     seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities or the consummation of 
     the Transaction, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might 
     materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this 
     Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Issuer is a 
     party, (D) which might result in a Material Adverse Change with respect 
     to the Issuer or (E) which might adversely affect the federal or state 
     tax attributes of the Securities or the Issuer.

          (f)     VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  Each of the Transaction 
     Documents to which the Issuer is a party, when executed and delivered by 
     the Issuer, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by 
     the other parties thereto, will constitute the legal, valid and binding 
     obligation of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms, 
     except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, 
     reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' 
     rights generally and general equitable principles.  The Securities, when 
     executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture, 
     will be validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of 
     the Indenture, except as such enforceability may be limited by 
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws 
     affecting creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles.

          (g)     NO CONSENTS.  No consent, license, approval or 
     authorization from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any 
     regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental 
     instrumentality, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of 
     any creditor, lessor or other non-governmental person, is required in 
     connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of 
     this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document to which the Issuer 
     is a party, except (in each case) such as have been obtained and are in 
     full force and effect.


                                      18
<PAGE>

          (h)     COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.  No practice, procedure or policy 
     employed or proposed to be employed by the Issuer in the conduct of its 
     business violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, order or 
     decree applicable to the Issuer which, if enforced, would result in a 
     Material Adverse Change with respect to the Issuer.

          (i)     ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.  None of the Provided Documents 
     contain any statement of a material fact with respect to the Issuer or 
     the Transaction that was untrue or misleading in any material respect 
     when made (except insofar as any such Document was connected or 
     superseded by a subsequent Provided Document). There is no fact known to 
     AFL or the Issuer which has a material possibility of causing a Material 
     Adverse Change with respect to either of them or which has a material 
     possibility of impairing the value or marketability of the Receivables 
     and related Other Conveyed Property, taken as a whole, or decreasing the 
     profitability that amounts due in respect of the Receivables and related 
     Other Conveyed Property will be collected as due. Since the furnishing 
     of the Provided Documents, there has been no change, or any development 
     or event involving a prospective change known to AFL or the Issuer that 
     would render any representation or warranty or other statement made by 
     either of them in any of the Provided Documents untrue or misleading in 
     any material respect.

          (j)     ERISA.  The Issuer does not maintain or contribute to, or 
     have any obligation to maintain or contribute to, any Plan.

          (k)     COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  The Issuer is not 
     required to be registered as an "investment company" under the 
     Investment Company Act and is not subject to the information reporting 
     requirements of the Exchange Act.

          (l)     TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.  Each of the representations and 
     warranties of the Issuer contained in the Transaction Documents is true 
     and correct in all material respects and the Issuer hereby makes each 
     such representation and warranty made by it to, and for the benefit of, 
     Financial Security as if the same were set forth in full herein.

          (m)     SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.

                  (i)   The capital of the Issuer is adequate for the business 
          and undertakings of the Issuer.

                  (ii)  Other than as provided in this Agreement, the 
          Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Security Agreement 
          and the Trust Agreement, the Issuer is not engaged in any business 
          transactions with AFL or any affiliate of AFL.

                  (iii) The Issuer's funds and assets are not, and will not 
          be, commingled with the funds of any other Person, except as 
          provided in the Transaction Documents.


                                      19
<PAGE>

          (n)     SOLVENCY; FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE.  The Issuer is solvent and 
     will not be rendered insolvent by the Transaction and, after giving 
     effect to the Transaction, the Issuer will not be left with an 
     unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its 
     business. The Issuer does not intend to incur, or believe that it has 
     incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. The 
     Issuer does not contemplate the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, 
     liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a 
     receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in 
     respect of the Issuer or any of its assets. The Issuer is not entering 
     into the Transaction Documents or consummating the transactions 
     contemplated thereby with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of 
     the Issuer's creditors.

          (o)     NO PRIOR ACTIVITIES.  The Issuer has not engaged in any 
     activities or entered into any agreements prior to this Transaction.

          Section 2.05.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF AFL AND THE ISSUER.

          Each of AFL and the Issuer hereby agree that during the Term of this
Agreement, unless Financial Security shall otherwise expressly consent in
writing, as follows:

          (a)     COMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENTS AND APPLICABLE LAWS.  The Issuer 
     shall perform each of its respective obligations under the Transaction 
     Documents and shall comply with all material requirements of, and the 
     Securities shall be offered and sold in accordance with, any law, rule 
     or regulation applicable to it or thereto, or that are required in 
     connection with its performance under any of the Transaction Documents. 
     The Issuer will not cause or permit to become effective any amendment to 
     or modification of any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a 
     party unless (i) so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and 
     be continuing Financial Security shall have previously approved in 
     writing the form of such amendment or modification or (ii) if an Insurer 
     Default shall have occurred and be continuing such amendment would not 
     adversely affect the interests of Financial Security. The Issuer shall 
     not take any action or fail to take any action that would interfere with 
     the enforcement of any rights under the Transaction Documents.

          (b)     BOOKS AND RECORDS; OTHER INFORMATION.  The Issuer shall 
     keep or cause to be kept in reasonable detail books and records of 
     account of its assets and business.  The Issuer shall furnish or cause 
     to be furnished to Financial Security promptly upon receipt thereof, 
     copies of all reports, statements, certifications, schedules, or other 
     similar items delivered to or by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the 
     Transaction Documents and, promptly upon request, such other data as 
     Financial Security may reasonably request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the 
     Issuer shall not be required to deliver any such items if provision by 
     some other party to Financial Security is required under the Transaction 
     Documents unless such other party wrongfully fails to deliver such item. 
      The Issuer shall, upon the request of Financial Security, permit 
     Financial Security or its authorized agents (A) to


                                      20
<PAGE>

     inspect its books and records as they may relate to the Securities, the 
     Receivables, the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction 
     Documents, the Transaction; (B) to discuss the affairs, finances and 
     accounts of the Issuer with its officers upon Financial Security's 
     reasonable request; and (C) upon the occurrence of a Special Event, to 
     discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Issuer with its 
     independent accountants, PROVIDED that an officer of the Issuer shall 
     have the right to be present during such discussions.  Such inspections 
     and discussions shall be conducted during normal business hours and 
     shall not unreasonably disrupt the business of such Person.  The books 
     and records of the Issuer will be maintained at Wilmington Trust 
     Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, 
     Delaware, unless such Person shall otherwise advise the parties hereto 
     in writing.

          (c)     COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE.  The Issuer shall deliver to 
     Financial Security within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year of 
     the Issuer (and, if a Special Event has occurred, within 45 days after 
     the close of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the 
     Issuer), a certificate signed by a President, Vice President or duly 
     authorized agent stating that:

                  (i)   a review of the Issuer's performance under the 
          Transaction Documents during such period has been made under such 
          officer's supervision; and

                  (ii)  to the best of such officer's knowledge following 
          reasonable inquiry, no Special Event, Default or Event of Default 
          has occurred with respect to such Person, or if a Special Event, 
          Default or Event of Default has occurred with respect to such 
          Person, specifying the nature thereof and, if such Person has a 
          right to cure any such Default or Event of Default pursuant to 
          Section 5.01, stating in reasonable detail the steps, if any, being 
          taken by such Person to cure such Default or Event of Default or to 
          otherwise comply with the terms of the agreement to which such 
          Default or Event of Default relates.

          (d)     NOTICE OF MATERIAL EVENTS.  The Issuer shall promptly inform
     Financial Security in writing of the occurrence of any of the following:

                  (i)   the submission of any claim or the initiation of any 
          legal process, litigation or administrative or judicial 
          investigation (A) against the Issuer pertaining to the Receivables 
          in general, (B) with respect to a material portion of the 
          Receivables or (C) in which a request has been made for 
          certification as a class action (or equivalent relief) that would 
          involve a material portion of the Receivables;

                  (ii)  any change in the location of such Person's principal 
          office or any change in the location of the books and records of the 
          Issuer;


                                      21
<PAGE>

                  (iii) the occurrence of any Default or Special Event (which 
          notice shall also be delivered to the Rating Agencies);

                  (iv)  the commencement or threat of any rule making or 
          disciplinary proceedings or any proceedings instituted by or 
          against the Issuer in any federal, state or local court or before 
          any governmental body or agency, or before any arbitration board, 
          or the promulgation of any proceeding or any proposed or final rule 
          which, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse 
          Change with respect to the Issuer;

                  (v)   the commencement of any proceedings by or against the 
          Issuer under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, 
          liquidation, rehabilitation, insolvency or other similar law now or 
          hereafter in effect or of any proceeding in which a receiver, 
          liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official shall have 
          been, or may be, appointed or requested for the Issuer or any of 
          its assets;

                  (vi)  the receipt of notice that (A) the Issuer is being 
          placed under regulatory supervision, (B) any license, permit, 
          charter, registration or approval necessary for the conduct of the 
          Issuer's business is to be, or may be, suspended or revoked, or (C) 
          the Issuer is to cease and desist any practice, procedure or policy 
          employed by the Issuer in the conduct of its business, and such 
          cessation may result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to 
          the Issuer; or

                  (vii) any other event, circumstance or condition that has 
          resulted, or which such Person reasonably believes might result, in 
          a Material Adverse Change in respect of the Issuer.

          (e)     FURTHER ASSURANCES.  The Issuer will file all necessary 
     financing statements, assignments or other instruments, and any 
     amendments or continuation statements relating thereto, necessary to be 
     kept and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by 
     law to preserve and protect fully the Lien on and security interest in, 
     and all rights of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee 
     for the Noteholders and Financial Security, with respect to, the 
     Receivables, the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account. 
     In addition, the Issuer shall, upon the request of Financial Security, 
     from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be 
     executed, acknowledged and delivered, within thirty (30) days of such 
     request, such amendments hereto and such further instruments and take 
     such further action as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the 
     intention, performance and provisions of the Transaction Documents or to 
     protect the interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the 
     Trustee for the Noteholders and Financial Security, in the Receivables, 
     free and clear of all Liens and Restrictions on Transferability, except 
     the Restrictions on Transferability imposed by the Transaction 
     Documents. In addition, the Issuer agrees to cooperate with the Rating 
     Agencies in connection


                                      22

     Agencies after the date hereof.

     repayment of outstanding Advances and termination of the Issuer's 
     obligation to make further Advances pursuant to the Sale and Servicing 
     Agreement or otherwise, furnish to Financial Security a notice of such 
     repayment and termination, and, upon payment of all of the Securities

     Financial Security for cancellation.

          (g)     THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY.  The Issuer agrees that Financial 
     Security shall have all rights of a third-party beneficiary in respect

     its representations, warranties and covenants as set forth therein for 
     the benefit of Financial Security.

          (h)     DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT.  Any Offering Document delivered with 
     respect to the Securities shall clearly disclose that the Policy is not 
     covered by the property/casualty Insurance Security Fund specified in 
     Article 76 of the New York Insurance Law. In addition, any Offering 
     Document delivered with respect to the Securities which includes 
     financial statements of Financial Security prepared in accordance with 
     generally accepted accounting principles shall include the following 
     statement immediately preceding such financial statements:

                  The New York State Insurance Department 
                  recognizes only statutory account practices for 
                  determining and reporting the financial 
                  condition and results of operations of an 
                  insurance company, for determining its solvency 
                  under the New York Insurance Law, and for 
                  determining where its financial condition 
                  warrants the payment of a dividend to its 
                  stockholders. No consideration is given by the 
                  New York State Insurance Department to 
                  financial statements prepared in accordance 
                  with generally accepted accounting principles 
                  in making such determinations.

          (i)     SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY.

                  (i)   The Issuer shall conduct its business solely in its 
          own name through its duly authorized officers or agents so as not 
          to mislead others as to the identity of the entity with which those 
          others are concerned. It particularly will use its best efforts to 
          avoid the appearance of conducting business on behalf of AFL or any 
          affiliate thereof or and to avoid the appearance that the assets of 
          the Issuer are available to pay the creditors of AFL or any 
          affiliate thereof. Without limiting the generality of the 
          foregoing, all oral and written communications, including, without 
          limitation, letters, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, 
          statements and loan applications, will be made solely in the name 
          of the Issuer.

                  (ii)  The Issuer shall maintain trust records and books of 
          account separate from those of AFL and any affiliate thereof.  The 
          Issuer's books and records shall clearly reflect the transfer of 
          the Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer.

                  (iii) The Issuer shall obtain proper authorization from its 
          equity owners of all trust action requiring such authorization and

          Security within two weeks of such authorization.

                  (iv)  Although the organizational expenses of the Issuer 
          have been paid by AFL, operating expenses and liabilities of the 
          Issuer shall be paid from its own funds.

                  (v)   The annual financial statements of the Issuer shall 
          disclose the effects of its transactions in accordance with 
          generally accepted accounting principles and shall disclose that 
          the assets of the Issuer are not available to pay creditors of AFL 
          or any affiliate thereof.

                  (vi)  The resolutions, agreements and other instruments of 
          the Issuer underlying the transactions described in this Agreement 
          and in the other Transaction Documents shall be continuously 
          maintained by the Issuer as official records of the Issuer 
          separately identified and held apart from the records of AFL and 
          each affiliate thereof.

                  (vii) The Issuer shall maintain an arm's-length 
          relationship with AFL and the affiliates thereof and will not hold 
          itself out as being liable for the debts of AFL or any affiliate 
          thereof.

                  (viii)     The Issuer shall keep its assets and liabilities 
          wholly separate from those of all other entities, including, but 
          not limited to, AFL and the affiliates thereof.

                  (ix)  The books and records of the Issuer will be 
          maintained at Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 
          North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, unless it shall 
          otherwise advise the parties hereto in writing. The Issuer shall, 
          upon the request of Financial Security, permit Financial Security 
          or its authorized agents to inspect its books and records.

          (j)     MAINTENANCE OF LICENSES.  The Issuer shall maintain all 
     licenses, permits, charters and registrations which are material to the 
     performance by of its obligations under this Agreement and each other 
     Transaction Document to which is a party or by which it is bound.

          (k)     INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS.  The Issuer agrees to comply 
     with each of the Issuer's covenants set forth in the Transaction 
     Documents and hereby incorporates such covenants by reference as if each 
     were set forth herein.


                                      24

          (l)     TAX MATTERS.  The Issuer will not take any action that will 
     cause the Issuer to be taxable as an association (or publicly traded 
     partnership) or taxable as a corporation for federal and state income 
     tax purposes.

          Section 2.06.    NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF AFL AND THE ISSUER.

          Each of AFL and the Issuer hereby agree that during the Term of this
Agreement, unless Financial Security shall otherwise expressly consent in
writing, as follows:

          (a)     RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS.  The Issuer shall not (i) create, 
     incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist,

     the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the 
     Trustee for the Noteholders and Financial Security, (x) Liens for taxes 
     if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Issuer 
     shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by 
     appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate 
     reserves with respect thereto, and (y) the Restrictions on 
     Transferability imposed by the Transaction Documents or (ii) sign or 
     file under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any financing 
     statement which names the Issuer as a debtor, or sign any security 
     agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file such 
     financing statement, with respect to the Receivables, except in each 
     case any such instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the 
     Lien of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee for the 
     Noteholders and Financial Security.

          (b)     IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS.  The Issuer shall not take any 
     action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take

     Transaction Documents that are material to the rights, benefits or 
     obligations of the Trustee, the Noteholders or Financial Security, (ii) 
     result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of the Receivables or

     the Transaction Documents, including any consolidation, merger with any 
     Person or any transfer of all or any material amount of the assets of 
     the Issuer to any other Person if such consolidation, merger or transfer 
     would materially impair the net worth of the Issuer or any successor 
     Person obligated, after such event, to perform such Person's obligations 
     under the Transaction Documents.

          (c)     WAIVER, AMENDMENTS, ETC.  The Issuer shall not waive, 
     modify or amend, or consent to any waiver, modification or amendment of, 
     any of the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents unless (i) if 
     no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing Financial 
     Security shall have occurred and be continuing Financial Security shall 
     have consented thereto in writing or (ii) if an Issuer Default shall 
     have occurred and be continuing which would adversely affect the 
     interests of Financial Security.

     billed to, AFL. The fees for any other rating agency shall be paid by 
     the party requesting such other agency's rating, unless such other

     relating to the Securities or provision being made for payment of the 
     Securities prior to maturity.

     with (i) in the event of payments under the Policy, any accounts 
     established to facilitate payments under the Policy, to the extent

     any amount is paid by Financial Security under the Policy, or other 
     administrative expenses relating to such payments under the


                                      27

     respect of any of the Transaction Documents, including defending, 
     monitoring or participating in any litigation or proceeding (including

     Documents, any party to any of the Transaction Documents or the 
     Transaction, (iii) any amendment, waiver or other action with respect 
     to, or related to, any Transaction Document whether or not executed or 
     completed, or (iv) any review or investigation made by Financial 
     Security in those circumstances where its approval or consent is sought 
     under any of the Transaction Documents;

          (c)     interest on any and all amounts described in Section 
     3.03(a) or (b) or Section 3.02(e) from the date due to Financial 
     Security pursuant to the provisions hereof until payment thereof in

     advanced to, AFL, in its capacity as Servicer, or the Trustee, 
     including, without limitation, any amounts payable by AFL, in its 
     capacity as Servicer, or the Trustee pursuant to the Securities or any

          (a)     INDEMNIFICATION BY AFL. In addition to any and all rights 
     of reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation and any other rights 
     pursuant hereto or under law or in equity, AFL hereby agrees to pay, and 
     to protect, indemnify and save harmless, Financial Security and its 
     officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each Person, if 
     any, who controls Financial Security within the meaning of either 
     Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from 
     and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including 
     penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or 
     expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys, 
     consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations) of any 
     nature arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by 
     the Transaction Documents by reason of:

                  (i)   the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, 
          misfeasance, malfeasance or theft committed by any director, 
          officer, employee or agent of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer;

                  (ii)  the breach by AFL, ARFC or the Issuer of any 
          representation, warranty or covenant under any of the Transaction 
          Documents or the occurrence, in respect of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer 
          under any of the Transaction Documents of any "event of default" or 
          any event which, with


                                      28
<PAGE>

          the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute 
          any "event of default"; or

                  (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a 
          material fact contained in any Offering Document or any omission or 
          alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be 
          stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not 
          misleading, except insofar as such claims arise out of or are based 
          upon any untrue statement or omission in information included in an 
          Offering Document and furnished by Financial Security in writing 
          expressly for use therein (all such information so furnished by 
          Financial Security being referred to herein as "FINANCIAL SECURITY 
          INFORMATION").

          (b)     CONDUCT OF ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. If any action or 
     proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought 
     or asserted against Financial Security, any officer, director, 
     shareholder, employee or agent of Financial Security or any Person 
     controlling Financial Security (individually, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" 
     and, collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") in respect of which 
     indemnity may be sought from AFL (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") hereunder, 
     Financial Security shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in 
     writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, 
     including the employment of counsel satisfactory to Financial Security 
     and the payment of all expenses. An Indemnified Party shall have the 
     right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate 
     in the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnified Party; 
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel 
     shall only be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the 
     Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the 
     Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such 
     action or proceeding and employ counsel satisfactory to Financial 
     Security in any such action or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to 
     any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include 
     both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the 
     Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that (A) there may 
     be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from 
     or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and (B) the 
     representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by 
     the same counsel would be inappropriate or contrary to prudent practice 
     (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party 
     in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of 
     the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right 
     to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such 
     Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying 
     Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or 
     separate but substantially similar or related actions or to proceedings 
     in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or 
     circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more 
     than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Indemnified 
     Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by Financial 
     Security). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement 
     of any such action or proceeding effected without its


                                      29
<PAGE>

     written consent but, if settled with its written consent, or if there be 
     a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding with 
     respect to which the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice in 
     accordance with this subsection (b), the Indemnifying Party agrees to 
     indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any 
     loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

          (c)     CONTRIBUTION.  To provide for just and equitable 
     contribution if the indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party 
     is determined to be unavailable for any Indemnified Party (other than 
     due to application of this Section), the Indemnifying Party shall 
     contribute to the losses incurred by the Indemnified Party on the basis 
     of the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and 
     the Indemnified Party, on the other hand.

          Section 3.05.    SUBROGATION.

          Subject only to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture
and the Security Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, to the
extent of any payment made by Financial Security pursuant to the Policy,
Financial Security is to be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment and
any additional interest due on any late payment, to the rights of the
Noteholders to any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Securities under the
Transaction Documents or otherwise. Each of the parties hereto agrees to such
subrogation and, further, agrees to execute such instruments and to take such
actions as, in the sole judgment of Financial Security, are necessary to
evidence such subrogation and to perfect the rights of Financial Security to
receive any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Securities under the
Transaction Documents or otherwise.

          Section 3.06.    CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS NOT RECOURSE TO AFL AND ARFC.

          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
payment obligations provided in Section 3.03(a) and (d), in each case, to the
extent that such payment obligations do not arise from any failure or default in
the performance by AFL or ARFC of any of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, and any interest on the foregoing in accordance with Section 3.03(c),
shall be non-recourse obligations with respect to AFL and ARFC, respectively,
and shall be payable only from monies available for such payment in accordance
with the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          Section 3.07.    LIMITED RECOURSE TO ISSUER.

          Financial Security covenants and agrees that it shall not look to any
property or assets of the Issuer, other than amounts paid to the Issuer under
the Transaction Documents and to amounts payable to Financial Security pursuant
to the Transaction Documents in respect of the Issuer's obligations hereunder.
To the extent that such funds are insufficient, any payment obligation or claim
arising hereunder shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer.

                              FURTHER AGREEMENTS

          Section 4.01.    EFFECTIVE DATE; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

          This Agreement shall take effect on the Date of Issuance and shall
remain in effect until the later of (a) such time as Financial Security is no
longer subject to a claim under the Policy and the Policy shall have been
surrendered to Financial Security for cancellation and (b) all amounts payable
to Financial Security and the Noteholders under the Transaction Documents and
under the Securities have been paid in full; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof shall survive any termination
of this Agreement.

          Section 4.02.    OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

          (a)     The payment obligations of AFL, ARFC and the Issuer 
     hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be paid 
     strictly in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances 
     irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of, or any 
     amendment or other modifications of, or waiver with respect to, any of 
     the Transaction Documents, the Securities or the Policy; (ii) any 
     exchange or release of any other obligations hereunder; (iii) the 
     existence of any claim, setoff, defense, reduction, abatement or other 
     right which AFL, ARFC or the Issuer may have at any time against 
     Financial Security or any other Person; (iv) any document presented in 
     connection with the Policy proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or 
     insufficient in any respect, including any failure to strictly comply 
     with the terms of the Policy, or any statement therein being untrue or 
     inaccurate in any respect; (v) any failure of the Issuer to receive the 
     proceeds from the sale of the Securities; (vi) any breach by AFL, ARFC 
     or the Issuer of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in 
     any of the Transaction Documents; or (vii) any other circumstances, 
     other than payment in full, which might otherwise constitute a defense 
     available to, or discharge of, AFL, ARFC or the Issuer in respect of any 
     Transaction Document.

          (b)     AFL, ARFC and the Issuer and any and all others who are now 
     or may become liable for all or part of the obligations of such Persons 
     under this Agreement agree to be bound by this Agreement and (i) to the 
     extent permitted by law, waive and renounce any and all redemption and 
     exemption rights and the benefit of all valuation and appraisement 
     privileges against the indebtedness, if any, and obligations evidenced 
     by any Transaction Document or by any extension or renewal thereof, (ii) 
     waive presentment and demand for payment, notices of nonpayment and of 
     dishonor, protest of dishonor and notice of protest; (iii) waive all 
     notices in connection with the delivery and acceptance hereof and all 
     other notices in connection with the performance, default or enforcement

     Documents; (iv) waive all rights of abatement, diminution, postponement 
     or deduction, or to any defense other than payment, or to any right of 
     setoff or recoupment arising out of any


                                      31
<PAGE>

     breach under any of the Transaction Documents, by any party thereto or 
     any beneficiary thereof, or out of any obligation at any time owing to 
     AFL, ARFC or the Issuer; (v) agree that any consent, waiver or 
     forbearance hereunder with respect to an event shall operate only for 
     such event and not for any subsequent event; (vi) consent to any and all 
     extensions of time that may be granted by Financial Security with 
     respect to any payment hereunder or other provisions hereof and to the 
     release of any security at any time given for any payment hereunder, or 
     any part thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of 
     any Person or entity liable for any such payment; and (vii) consent to 
     the addition of any and all other makers, endorsers, guarantors and 
     other obligors for any payment hereunder, and to the acceptance of any 
     and all other security for any payment hereunder, and agree that the 
     addition of any such obligors or security shall not affect the liability 
     of the parties hereto for any payment hereunder.

          (c)     Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting AFL, ARFC 
     or the Issuer from pursuing any rights or remedies it may have against 
     any Person other than Financial Security in a separate legal proceeding.

          Section 4.03.    ASSIGNMENTS; REINSURANCE; THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.

          (a)     This Agreement shall be a continuing obligation of the 
     parties hereto and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the 
     parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
     None of AFL, ARFC nor the Issuer may assign its rights under this 
     Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior 
     written consent of Financial Security. Any assignment made in violation 
     of this Agreement shall be null and void.

          (b)     Financial Security shall have the right to give 
     participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into 
     contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Policy upon such terms and 
     conditions as Financial Security may in its discretion determine; 
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such participation or reinsurance agreement 
     or arrangement shall relieve Financial Security of any of its 
     obligations hereunder or under the Policy.

          (c)     In addition, Financial Security shall be entitled to assign 
     or pledge to any bank or other lender providing liquidity or credit with 
     respect to the Transaction or the obligations of Financial Security in 
     connection therewith any rights of Financial Security under the 
     Transaction Documents or with respect to any real or personal property 
     or other interests pledged to Financial Security, or in which Financial 
     Security has a security interest, in connection with the Transaction.

          (d)     Except as provided herein with respect to participants and 
     reinsurers, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right, remedy or 
     claim, express or implied, upon any Person, including, particularly, any 
     Noteholder, other than Financial Security, against AFL, ARFC or the 
     Issuer, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and 
     agreements contained herein shall be for the


                                      32
<PAGE>

     sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors 
     and permitted assigns. Neither the Trustee nor any Noteholder shall have 
     any right to payment from any premiums paid or payable hereunder or from 
     any other amounts paid by AFL or the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.02, 
     3.03 or 3.04 hereof.

          Section 4.04.    LIABILITY OF FINANCIAL SECURITY.

          Neither Financial Security nor any of its officers, directors or
employees shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of
the Policy by the Trustee or for any acts or omissions of the Trustee in
connection therewith or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness
of documents delivered to Financial Security (or its Fiscal Agent) in connection
with any claim under the Policy, or of any signatures thereon, even if such
documents or signatures should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged (unless Financial Security had
actual knowledge thereof). In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, Financial Security (or its Fiscal Agent) may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation.

          Section 5.01.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

          The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder:

          (a)     any demand for payment shall be made under the Policy;

          (b)     any representation or warranty made by AFL, ARFC or the 
     Issuer under any of the Transaction Documents, or in any certificate or 
     report furnished under any of the Transaction Documents, shall prove to 
     be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that 
     if AFL, ARFC or the Issuer effectively cures any such defect in any 
     representation or warranty under any Transaction Document, or 
     certificate or report furnished under any Transaction Document, within 
     the time period specified in the relevant Transaction Document as the 
     cure period therefor, such defect shall not in and of itself constitute 
     an Event of Default hereunder;

          (c)     (i) AFL, ARFC or the Issuer shall fail to pay when due any 
     amount payable by it, shall fall to effect any purchase or repurchase

     Transaction Documents unless such amounts are paid in full within any 
     applicable cure period explicitly provided for under the relevant 
     Transaction Document; (ii) AFL, ARFC or the Issuer shall have asserted 
     that any material provision of the Transaction Documents to which it is 
     a party is not valid and binding on the parties thereto; or (iii) any 
     court, governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over any of 
     the parties to any of the Transaction Documents or any property thereof 
     shall find


                                      33
<PAGE>

     or rule that any material provision of any of the Transaction 
     Documents is not valid and binding on the parties thereto;

          (d)     AFL, ARFC or the Issuer shall fail to perform or observe 
     any other covenant or agreement contained in any of the Transaction 
     Documents (except for the obligations described under clause (c) above) 
     and such failure shall continue beyond any applicable cure period 
     explicitly provided for under the relevant Transaction Document;

          (e)     any of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer shall fail to pay its debts 
     generally as they come due, or shall admit in writing its inability to 
     pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the 
     benefit of creditors, or shall institute any proceeding seeking to 
     adjudicate it insolvent or seeking a liquidation, or shall take 
     advantage of any insolvency act, or shall commence a case or other 
     proceeding naming it as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code 
     or similar law, domestic or foreign, or a case or other proceeding shall 
     be commenced against any of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer under the United 
     States Bankruptcy Code or similar law, domestic or foreign, or any 
     proceeding shall be instituted against any of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer 
     seeking liquidation of its assets and such Person shall fail to take 
     appropriate action resulting in the withdrawal or dismissal of such 
     proceeding within 30 days or there shall be appointed or any of AFL, 
     ARFC or the Issuer shall consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment of 
     a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in 
     respect of such Person or the whole or any substantial part of its 
     properties or assets or such Person shall take any corporate action in 
     furtherance of any of the foregoing;

          (f)     the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default 
     with respect to any Term Transaction, which Insurance Agreement Event of 
     Default is not defined as a "Portfolio Performance Event of Default" in 
     the related Insurance Agreement;

          (g)     ARFC shall fall to make a deposit with respect to any WAC 
     Deficiency Amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(f) of 
     the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such failure shall continue for 
     one Business Day;

          (h)     it shall be determined on any Determination Date that the 
     Collateral Test shall fail to have been satisfied as of the immediately 
     preceding Accounting Date, after taking into account any deposit made by 
     ARFC to the Collection Account on such Determination Date and such 
     failure shall continue for one Business Day;

          (i)     a Servicer Termination Event shall occur;

          (j)     the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Sale and 
     Servicing Agreement and either (x) the Repurchase Date or the 
     Amortization Date (each as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) 
     shall have been deemed to automatically occur or (y) the Issuer shall 
     have exercised its option to have the


                                      34
<PAGE>

     Repurchase Date or the Amortization Date, as the case may be, 
     immediately occur pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of the Sale and Servicing 
     Agreement; or

          (k)     if on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to 
     distributions made on such Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in 
     the Spread Account is less than the Spread Account Minimum Amount.

          Section 5.02.    REMEDIES; WAIVERS.

          (a)     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Financial 
     Security may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies set 
     forth below:

                  (i)   declare the Premium Supplement to be immediately due 
          and payable, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and 
          payable, whether or not Financial Security shall have declared an 
          "Event of Default" or shall have exercised, or be entitled to 
          exercise, any other rights or remedies hereunder;

                  (ii)  exercise any rights and remedies available under the 
          Transaction Documents in its own capacity or in its capacity as the 
          Person entitled to exercise the rights of the Noteholders in 
          respect of the Securities; or

                  (iii) take whatever action at law or in equity may appear 
          necessary or desirable in its judgment to enforce performance of 
          any obligation of AFL, ARFC or the Issuer under the Transaction 
          Documents.

          (b)     Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein 
     conferred upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other 
     available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in 
     addition to other remedies given under the Transaction Documents or 
     existing at law or in equity. No delay or failure to exercise any right 
     or power accruing under any Transaction Document upon the occurrence of 
     any Event of Default or otherwise shall impair any such right or power 
     or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and 
     power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed 
     expedient. In order to entitle Financial Security to exercise any remedy 
     reserved to Financial Security in this Article, it shall not be 
     necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly 
     required in this Article.

          (c)     If any proceeding has been commenced to enforce any right 
     or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued 
     or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to 
     Financial Security, then and in every such case the parties hereto 
     shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored to 
     their respective former positions hereunder, and, thereafter, all rights 
     and remedies of Financial Security shall continue as though no such 
     proceeding had been instituted.

          (d)     Financial Security shall have the right, to be exercised in 
     its complete discretion, to waive any covenant, Default or Event of 
     Default by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of 
     such waiver signed by Financial Security and delivered to AFL, ARFC and 
     the Issuer. Any such waiver may only be effected in writing duly 
     executed by Financial Security, and no other course of conduct shall 
     constitute a waiver of any provision hereof.  Unless such writing 
     expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend 
     only to the specific event or occurrence so waived and not to any other 
     similar event or occurrence.

          (e)     Upon the declaration of an Event of Default by Financial 
     Security, Financial Security shall provide written notice of such Event 
     of Default to the Rating Agencies.

instrument or written instruments signed by the parties hereto. No act or course
of dealing shall be deemed to constitute an amendment, modification or
termination hereof.

          Section 6.03.    PAYMENT PROCEDURE.

          In the event of any payment by Financial Security for which it is
entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified as provided herein, each party
obligated hereunder to make such reimbursement or provide such indemnification
agrees to accept the voucher or other evidence of payment as prima facie
evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability therefor to Financial
Security. All payments to be made to Financial Security under this Agreement
shall be made to Financial Security in lawful currency of the United States of
America in immediately available funds to the account number provided in the
Premium Letter before 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date when due
or as Financial Security shall otherwise direct by written notice to AFL. In the

any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such
payment or expiration of time period shall be made or occur on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment was

the related Sales and Servicing Agreement or the related Series Supplement, 
as the case may be, the "Trustee") and NORWEST BANK MINNESOTA, NATIONAL 
ASSOCIATION, as Collateral Agent (as defined below).

                                   RECITALS

          1.   Olympic Automobile Receivables Trust, 1993-A (the "Series 
1993-A Trust") was formed pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 
dated as of March 1, 1993 (the "Series 1993-A Pooling and Servicing

Servicing Agreements, the Seller from time to time sells all of its right, 
title and interest in and to Receivables and certain other Trust Property.

          3.   The Seller has requested that Financial Security issue 
Policies to guarantee payment of the Guaranteed Distributions or Scheduled 
Payments (as defined in the relevant Policy) on each Distribution Date in 
respect of asset-backed securities backed by such Receivables and Other Trust 
Property.

          4.   In partial consideration of the issuance of the Policies, the 
Seller has agreed that Financial Security shall have certain rights as 
Controlling Party, to the extent set forth herein.

          5.   The Seller is a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of

Financial Security for its issuance of the Policies.

          6.   In order to secure the performance of the Secured Obligations, 
to further effect and enforce the subordination provisions to which the 
Credit Enhancement Fee is subject,

the Seller agreed to pledge the Collateral as Collateral to the Collateral 
Agent for the benefit of Financial Security and for the benefit of the 
Trustees on behalf of the Trusts, upon the terms and conditions set forth 
herein.

          7.   In connection with the issuance of Policies subsequent to the 
Policy issued with respect to the Series 1993-A Trust, it is contemplated 
that Financial Security will obtain certain Controlling Party rights with 
respect to the related Series, and that, in connection with each such 
additional Series, the parties hereto have entered into or will enter into a 
Series Supplement hereto pursuant to which the Seller has pledged or will 
pledge additional Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof and such Series 
Supplement.

          8.   The Seller has entered into a Amended and Restated Sale and 
Servicing Agreement dated as of July __, 1998 with Arcadia Automobile

Arcadia Receivables Conduit Corp. (the "Original Issuer"), Arcadia Financial, 
Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as Administrative 
Agent and RCC Agent, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as DFC Agent 
and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Backup Servicer, 
Collateral Agent and Indenture Trustee (the "Warehousing Series Sale and 
Servicing Agreement") pursuant to which the Seller has sold or will sell all 
of its right, title and interest in certain Receivables, and that the Issuer 
will issue one or more classes or tranches of Warehousing Notes pursuant to 
an Amended and Restated Indenture among the Original Issuer, the Issuer, the 
Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and that Financial Security in 
its discretion may issue one or more Policies with respect to certain 
scheduled payments on the corresponding Notes.

          9.   The parties have previously executed, amended and restated 
this Agreement, and now wish to further amend and restate this Agreement to 
supplement certain provisions therein in order to reflect the intent of the 
parties.

          (b)   In order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this 
Agreement, including for the purpose of perfecting the security interests 
granted hereunder, the Seller represents and warrants that it has, prior to 
the execution of this Agreement, executed and filed an appropriate Uniform

          Section 2.04. PRIORITY.  The Seller (and  OFL, to the extent it may
have any rights in the Collateral) intends the security interests in favor of 
the Secured Parties to be prior to all other Liens in respect of the 
Collateral, and  OFL and the Seller shall take all actions necessary to

Secured Parties, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security 
interest in the Collateral.  Subject to the provisions hereof specifying the 
rights and powers of the Controlling Party from time to time to control 
certain specified matters relating to the Collateral, each Secured Party 
shall have all of the rights, remedies and recourse with respect to the 
Collateral afforded a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the 
State of New York and all other applicable law in addition to, and not in 
limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourse granted to such 
Secured Parties by this Agreement or any other law relating to the creation 
and perfection of liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral.

          Section 2.05. SELLER AND OFL REMAIN LIABLE  The Security Interests 
are granted as security only and shall not (i) transfer or in any way affect 
or modify, or relieve either the Seller or  OFL from, any obligation to

performed or satisfied by the Seller or OFL under or in connection with this 
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which

made in connection therewith, except, in each case, to the extent provided 
herein and in the other Transaction Documents.

          Section 2.06. MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL.

          (a)  SAFEKEEPING.  The Collateral Agent agrees to maintain the 
Collateral received by it (or evidence thereof, in the case of book-entry 
securities in the name of the Collateral Agent) and all records and documents 
relating thereto at the office of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 
8.06 hereof or such other address within the State of Minnesota (unless all 
filings have been made to continue the perfection of the security interest in 
the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be perfected by 
filing a financing statement, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered 
to the Controlling Party), as may be approved by the Controlling Party.  The 
Collateral Agent shall keep all Collateral and related documentation in its 
possession separate and apart from all other property that it is holding in 
its possession and from its own general assets and shall maintain accurate 
records pertaining to the Eligible Investments and Spread Accounts included 
in the Collateral in such a manner as shall enable the Collateral Agent and 
the Secured Parties to verify the accuracy of such record-keeping.  The 
Collateral Agent's books and records shall at all times show that the 
Collateral is held by the Collateral Agent as agent of the Secured Parties 
and is not the property of the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent will 
promptly report to each Secured Party and the Seller any failure on its part 
to hold the Collateral as provided in this Section 2.06(a) and will promptly 
take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

reasonable times during normal business hours as any such Secured Party may 
reasonably request upon not less than one Business Day's prior written notice.

and all rights, remedies, powers, duties, authority and obligations of

          (c)  On the Final Termination Date with respect to a Series, the 
rights, remedies, powers, duties, authority and obligations conferred upon 
the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement with 
respect to such Series shall terminate and be of no further force and effect

Collateral Agent and each Secured Party with respect to the Collateral 
related to such Series shall be automatically released.  On the Final 
Termination Date with respect to a Series, the Collateral Agent agrees, and 
each Secured Party agrees, at the expense of the Seller, to execute such 
instruments of release, in recordable form if necessary, in favor of the 
Seller as the Seller may reasonably request, to deliver any Collateral in its 
possession to the Seller, and to otherwise release the lien of this Agreement 
and release and deliver to the Seller the Collateral related to such Series.

anything herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the 
parties hereto agree that the

<PAGE>

obligations of the Seller hereunder (without limiting the obligation to apply

Section 3.03(b)) shall be recourse only to the extent of amounts released to 
the Seller pursuant to priority EIGHTH of Section 3.03(b) and retained by the 
Seller in accordance with the next sentence.  The Seller agrees that it shall 
not declare or make payment of (i) any dividend or other distribution on or

of its capital stock, or (iii) any payment of any loan made by  OFL to the 
Seller, or of any deferred portion of the purchase price payable by the 
Seller to  OFL with respect to any Receivable unless (in each case) at the 
time of such declaration or payment (and after giving effect thereto) no 
amount payable by Seller under any Transaction Document is then due and owing 
but unpaid.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of 
the Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners) or Noteholders (or Note 
Owners) under any other Transaction Document.

          Section 2.09. PROGRAM SPREAD ACCOUNT AND TAG ACCOUNTS.  (a)  On or
prior to the date of any transfer of cash by the Seller pursuant to Section 
2.09(b)(i), the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Seller shall 
establish at an institution at which one or more Spread Accounts established 
hereunder are then maintained an Eligible Account, designated "Program Spread 
Account--Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association" (the "Program Spread 
Account").  The Program Spread Account shall continuously be maintained at an 
institution at which one or more Spread Accounts are established hereunder.

          (b)  The Collateral Agent shall hold, for the benefit of the 
Seller, the following property in the Program Spread Account:

          (i)  all cash amounts from time to time on deposit in the Program 
     Spread Account which at the Seller's election it has delivered to the 
     Collateral Agent from (x) the proceeds of the sale of securities of a 
     Series or (y) amounts released to the Seller from the Lien of this 
     Agreement; and

          (ii) investments made with the proceeds of the property described 
     in clause (i) above, or made with amounts on deposit in the Program 
     Spread Account.

          Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Series Supplement to the 
contrary, the property held by the Collateral Agent under this Section 
2.09(b) shall not constitute Collateral hereunder.

          (c)  With respect to each Series for which the Seller has made an 
election pursuant to Section 2.09(f) in connection with such Series, on or 
prior to the date of any transfer of cash from the Program Spread Account in 
connection with such election, the Collateral Agent at the direction of the 
Seller shall establish at the same institution at which the related Spread 
Account established hereunder is then maintained an Eligible Account, 
designated "Tag Account Series [series designation] - Norwest Bank Minnesota, 
National Association, as Collateral Agent for Financial Security Assurance 
Inc. and another Secured Party" (each such account, a "Tag Account").  Each 
Tag Account shall continue to be maintained at the same institution as the 


                                      19
<PAGE>

related Spread Account established hereunder.

          (d)  In order to secure the performance of the Secured Obligations 
with respect to each Series, the Seller hereby pledges, assigns, grants, 
transfers and conveys to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the 
benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien on and a security interest on (which 
lien and security interest is intended to be prior to all other liens, 
security interests and other encumbrances), all of its right, title and 
interest in and to the following:

          (i)   each Tag Account established pursuant to Section 2.09(c) 
     hereof, (including, without limitation, all monies, checks, securities, 
     investments and other documents held in or evidencing any such accounts);

          (ii)  all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to 
     investments made with proceeds of the property described in clause (i) 
     above; and

          (iii) all distributions, revenues, products, substitutions, 
     benefits, profits and proceeds, in whatever form, of any of the 
     foregoing.

          In order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this 
Agreement, including for the purpose of perfecting the security interests 
granted hereunder, the Seller represents and warrants that it shall, prior to 
the deposit of amounts in any Tag Account, execute and file an appropriate 
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in Minnesota sufficient to assure 
that the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, has a first 
priority perfected security interest on the Collateral pledged or to be 
pledged pursuant to Section 2.09(d) which can be perfected by the filing of a 
financing statement.

          (e)  The Program Spread Account and each Tag Account shall be 
separate from each respective Trust or Issuer and amounts on deposit therein 
will not constitute a part of the Trust Property of any Trust or the assets 
of any Issuer.  Except as specifically provided herein, the Program Spread 
Account and each Tag Account shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent at 
all times separate and apart from any other account of the Seller,  OFL, the 
Servicer, the Trust or the Issuer.  All income or loss on investments of 
funds in the Program Spread Account and any Tag Account shall be reported by 
the Seller as taxable income or loss of the Seller.

          (f)  Upon the occurrence of an event specified in clause (A) of the 
definition of Trigger Event with respect to a Series and until such event is 
Deemed Cured, at the election of the Seller amounts on deposit in the Program 
Spread Account may be withdrawn on the related Determination Date by the 
Collateral Agent from the Program Spread Account and irrevocably deposited 
into one or more Tag Accounts for each Series with respect to which an event 
specified in such clause (A) shall have occurred (and which event is not 
Deemed Cured) and with respect to which the Seller has made such election.  
In the event of such election, the Collateral Agent shall deposit from the 
Program Spread Account into the related Tag Account, on such related 
Determination Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of amounts on 
deposit in the Spread Account (excluding from the calculation of the amount 
on deposit in such Spread Account any amount in any related Tag Account, and 
taking into account any deposits thereto to be made pursuant to the first 
paragraph of Section 3.03(b) and taking into account any withdrawals 


                                      20
<PAGE>

therefrom to be made pursuant to priority FIRST of Section 3.03(b) on the 
related Distribution Date, but not taking into account any other changes in 
the amount on deposit in such account pursuant to Section 3.03(b)) over the 
amount specified in clause (i) of the definition of Spread Account Maximum 
Amount with respect to such Series (taking into account the decline in the 
related Series Balance to be effected on the related Distribution Date).

          (g)  Amounts on deposit in the Program Spread Account shall be 
released from such account at any time upon the request of the Seller.  Funds 
in the Program Spread Account shall not be commingled with funds in any 
Spread Account, any Tag Account or with any other moneys.  Amounts on deposit 
in a Spread Account and released from the Lien of this Agreement pursuant to 
Section 3.03(b) shall, at the direction of the Seller, be deposited into 
either the Program Spread Account or the related Tag Account.

          (h)  Upon deposit pursuant to Section 2.09(f) of amounts into a Tag 
Account for a Series such amounts shall be treated fungibly with all amounts 
on deposit in the Spread Account with respect to the same Series, except 
that, amounts deposited into a Spread Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) 
shall be deemed to be deposited into the Spread Account, and amounts 
withdrawn from a Spread Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) shall be 
withdrawn first from the related Tag Account and second from the Spread 
Account.  Except as otherwise explicitly specified, all references herein to 
a Series Spread Account hereunder shall be deemed to include reference to any 
Tag Account created with respect to such Series, and all references herein to 
amounts on deposit in a Series Spread Account shall be deemed to include 
reference to amounts on deposit in the related Tag Account, if any, created 
with respect to such Series.

                                Article III

                              SPREAD ACCOUNTS

          Section 3.01.  ESTABLISHMENT OF SPREAD ACCOUNTS; INITIAL DEPOSITS INTO
                         SPREAD ACCOUNTS.

          (a)  On or prior to the Closing Date relating to a Series, the 
Collateral Agent shall establish with respect to such Series, at its office 
or at another depository institution or trust company an Eligible Account, 
designated, "Spread Account--Series [insert Series designation] --Norwest 
Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Collateral Agent for Financial 
Security Assurance Inc. and another Secured Party" (the "Spread Account").  
The Spread Accounts established under this Agreement may be maintained at one 
or more depository institutions (which depository institutions may be changed 
from time to time in accordance with this Agreement).  If any Spread Account 
established with respect to a Series ceases to be an Eligible Account, the 
Collateral Agent shall, within five Business Days, establish a new Eligible 
Account for such Series.

          (b)  No withdrawals may be made of funds in any Spread Account 
except as provided in Section 3.03 of this Agreement and in the Warehousing 
Series Supplement.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, funds 
in a Spread Account established with respect to 


                                      21
<PAGE>

a Series shall not be commingled with funds in a Spread Account established 
with respect to another Series or with any other moneys.  All moneys 
deposited from time to time in such Spread Account and all investments made 
with such moneys shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the 
Collateral with respect to such Series.

          (c)  On the Closing Date with respect to a Series (other than the 
Warehousing Series), the Collateral Agent shall deposit the Initial Spread 
Account Deposit with respect to such Series, if any, received from the Seller 
into the related Spread Account.  On each Subsequent Transfer Date (if any) 
with respect to a Series (other than the Warehousing Series), the Collateral 
Agent shall deposit the Spread Account Additional Deposit delivered by the 
related Trust on behalf of the Seller into the related Spread Account.

          (d)  Each Spread Account shall be separate from each respective 
Trust and amounts on deposit therein will not constitute a part of the Trust 
Property of any Trust.  Except as specifically provided herein, each Spread 
Account shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent at all times separate and 
apart from any other account of the Seller,  OFL, the Servicer or the Trust 
or the Issuer, as the case may be.  All income or loss on investments of 
funds in any Spread Account shall be reported by the Seller as taxable income 
or loss of the Seller.

          Section 3.02.  INVESTMENTS.

          (a)  Funds which may at any time be held in the Spread Account 
established with respect to a Series or in the Program Spread Account shall 
be invested and reinvested by the Collateral Agent, at the written direction 
(which may include, subject to the provisions hereof, general standing 
instructions) of the Seller (unless a Default shall have occurred and be 
continuing, in which case at the written direction of the Controlling Party) 
or its designee received by the Collateral Agent by 1:00 P.M. New York City 
time on the Business Day prior to the date on which such investment shall be 
made, in one or more Eligible Investments in the manner specified in Section 
3.02(c).  If no written direction with respect to any portion of such Spread 
Account or the Program Spread Account is received by the Collateral Agent, 
the Collateral Agent shall invest such funds overnight in such Eligible 
Investments as the Collateral Agent may select, provided that the Collateral 
Agent shall not be liable for any loss or absence of income resulting from 
such investments.

          (b)  Each investment made pursuant to this Section 3.02 on any date 
shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the 
Distribution Date next succeeding the day such investment is made, except 
that any investment made on the day preceding a Distribution Date shall 
mature on such Distribution Date; PROVIDED that any investment of funds in 
any Account maintained with the Collateral Agent in any investment as to 
which the Collateral Agent is the obligor, if otherwise qualified as an 
Eligible Investment (including any repurchase agreement on which the 
Collateral Agent in its commercial capacity is liable as principal), may 
mature on the Distribution Date next succeeding the date of such investment.

          (c)  Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Collateral Agent 
shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and 
any certificate or other instrument 


                                      22
<PAGE>

evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the 
Collateral Agent or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if 
any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Collateral Agent 
in a manner which complies with Section 2.06 and this subsection.

          (d)  If amounts on deposit in any Spread Account are at any time 
invested in an Eligible Investment payable on demand, the Collateral Agent 
shall (i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand 
that payment thereon be made on the last day such Eligible Investment is 
permitted to mature under the provisions hereof and (ii) demand payment of 
all amounts due thereunder promptly upon receipt of written notice from the 
Controlling Party to the effect that such investment does not constitute an 
Eligible Investment.

          (e)  All moneys on deposit in a Spread Account together with any 
deposits or securities in which such moneys may be invested or reinvested, 
and any gains from such investments, shall constitute Collateral hereunder 
with respect to the related Series, subject to the Security Interests of the 
Secured Parties.

          (f)  Subject to Section 4.03 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall not 
be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Spread Account resulting from 
any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses 
attributable to the Collateral Agent's failure to make payments on Eligible 
Investments as to which the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity, is 
obligated.

          (g)  With respect to Spread Account Eligible Investments, the 
Collateral Agent agrees that:

          (1)  any Spread Account Eligible Investment that is a bankers 
     acceptance or is commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit or 
     another obligation that constitutes "instruments" within the meaning of 
     Section 9-105(1)(i) of the UCC or that is a "certificated security" as 
     defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC shall be delivered to the Collateral 
     Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable, of the 
     definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or 
     disposition, solely by the Collateral Agent or its securities 
     intermediary as described in such paragraphs (a) and (b);

          (2)  any Spread Account Eligible Investment that is a book-entry 
     security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal 
     book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph 
     (c), as applicable, of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be 
     maintained by the Collateral Agent, pending maturity or disposition, 
     through continued book-entry registration of such Spread Account 
     Eligible Investment as described in such paragraph; and

          (3)  any Eligible Investment that is an uncertificated security as 
     defined in Section 8-102(1)(b) of the UCC and that is not governed by 
     clause (2) above shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in 
     accordance with paragraph (d) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall 
     be maintained by the Collateral Agent, pending maturity or 


                                      23
<PAGE>

     disposition, through continued registration of the Collateral Agent's 
     (or its nominee's) ownership of such security.

          Section 3.03.  DISTRIBUTIONS: PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS.

          (a)  On or before each Deficiency Claim Date, the Collateral Agent 
will make the following calculations on the basis of information (including, 
without limitation, the amount of any Collection Account Shortfall with 
respect to any Series) received pursuant to (x) Section 3.9 of the Standard 
Terms and Conditions, Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements, 
or (y) Section 3.9 of the Sale and Servicing Agreements, or (z) Section 3.11 
of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, with respect to each Series; 
provided, however, that if the Collateral Agent receives notice from 
Financial Security of the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of 
Default with respect to any Series, or of the occurrence of a Capture Event, 
such notice shall be determinative for the purposes of determining the Spread 
Account Default Level and Spread Account Maximum Amount for such Series:

          FIRST, determine the amounts to be on deposit in the respective 
     Spread Accounts (taking into account amounts in respect of the 
     respective Credit Enhancement Fees to be deposited into the related 
     Spread Accounts) on the next succeeding Distribution Date which will be 
     available to satisfy any Collection Account Shortfall and any 
     Warehousing Shortfall;

          SECOND, determine (i) the amounts, if any, to be distributed from 
     each Spread Account related to each Series with respect to which there 
     exists a Collection Account Shortfall and (ii) whether, following 
     distribution from the related Spread Accounts to the respective Trustees 
     for deposit into the respective Collection Accounts with respect to 
     which there exist Collection Account Shortfalls, a Collection Account 
     Shortfall will continue to exist with respect to one or more Series;

          THIRD, (i) if a Collection Account Shortfall will continue to exist 
     with respect to one or more Series following the distributions from the 
     related Spread Accounts contemplated by paragraph SECOND above, 
     determine the amount, if any, to be distributed to the Trustee with 
     respect to each Series from unrelated Spread Accounts in respect of such 
     Collection Account Shortfall(s).  This determination shall be made as 
     follows: (i) of the aggregate of the amounts to be on deposit in the 
     respective Spread Accounts for such Distribution Date (as determined 
     pursuant to paragraph FIRST above, after making the withdrawals pursuant 
     to paragraph SECOND above), up to the aggregate of the Collection 
     Account Shortfalls for such Distribution Date, (ii) drawn from each 
     Spread Account PRO RATA in accordance with amounts on deposit therein, 
     and (iii) distributed to the respective Trustees in the following order 
     of priority and PRO RATA within each priority (1) in the same priority 
     as amounts are to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Standard 
     Terms and Conditions included in the respective Pooling and Servicing 
     Agreements and pursuant to Section 4.6 of the respective Sale and 
     Servicing Agreements, and pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or 3.6(b) of the 
     Servicing Agreement, as applicable, so that any shortfalls with 


                                      24
<PAGE>

     respect to priority (i) of each such Section are to be covered first, 
     any shortfalls with respect to priority (ii) of each such Section are to 
     be covered second, and so forth, until priority (v) of such Section, so 
     that priority (v) of Section 4.6 of the Standard Terms and Conditions 
     and of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and priority (v) of Section 
     3.6(a) or priority (v) of Section 3.6(b) of the Servicing Agreement are 
     to be covered fifth, (2) if Section 4.6 of one or more Sale and 
     Servicing Agreements provides for distribution in respect of interest or 
     principal on Notes or Certificates with priorities numerically greater 
     than (v), in the same priority as amounts are to be distributed pursuant 
     to each such Section 4.6, so that any shortfalls with respect to 
     priority (vi) of each such Section 4.6 are covered first, and so forth 
     through all priorities relating to interest or principal on Notes or 
     Certificates and (3) amounts to be distributed to the Security Insurer;

          On such Deficiency Claim Date, the Collateral Agent shall deliver a 
certificate to each Trustee in respect of which the Collateral Agent has 
received notice pursuant to (i) Section 3.9 of the Standard Terms and 
Conditions of a Collection Account Shortfall or (ii) Section 3.9 of the Sale 
and Servicing Agreement of a Collection Account Shortfall or (iii) Section 
3.11 of the Servicing Agreement of a Collection Account Shortfall or 
Warehousing Shortfall stating the amount (which, in the case of (i) and (ii) 
above, shall be the sum of the amount, if any, to be withdrawn from the 
related Spread Account, as calculated pursuant to paragraph SECOND of this 
Section 3.03(a), plus, the amount, if any, to be withdrawn from unrelated 
Spread Accounts, as calculated pursuant to paragraph THIRD of this Section 
3.03(a), and which, in the case of a Collection Account Shortfall or 
Warehousing Shortfall referred to in clause (iii) shall be the respective 
amounts, if any, withdrawn from unrelated Spread Accounts, as calculated 
pursuant to paragraph THIRD of this Section 3.03(a) or calculated to be 
available pursuant to priority SEVENTH of Section 3.03(b)), if any, to be 
distributed to such Trustee on the next Distribution Date in respect of such 
Collection Account Shortfall or Warehousing Shortfall, as the case may be.

          (b)  On each Distribution Date, following delivery by the Trustee 
of the respective Credit Enhancement Fees for deposit into the respective 
Spread Accounts pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Standard Terms and Conditions 
included in the respective Pooling and Servicing Agreements or Section 4.6 of 
the respective Sale and Servicing Agreements, or the amount deposited into 
the Spread Account for the Warehousing Series pursuant to Section 4.6 or 
Section 4.10 of the Warehousing Series Sale and Servicing Agreement, as 
applicable, and upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice with respect to one or 
more such Series, or with respect to priorities FIFTH and SIXTH to the extent 
the amounts referred to therein are due and owing, the Collateral Agent shall 
make the following distributions in the following order of priority.  
References herein to a Spread Account shall include references to the related 
Tag Account and such amounts shall be treated fungibly, except that amounts 
deposited into a Spread Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) shall be deemed 
to be deposited into a Spread Account, and amounts withdrawn from a Spread 
Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) shall be withdrawn first from the related 
Tag Account and second from the Spread Account.

cash amount on deposit in such Spread Account to be below the Spread Account 
Withdrawal Floor for such Spread Account if a Spread Account Withdrawal Floor 
is specified in the Series Supplement establishing such Spread Account), an 
amount up to the aggregate of the Collection Account Shortfalls for all

successor Collateral Agent in its commercial banking capacity), the name of 
the officer of the depository institution who is responsible for overseeing

waives (except to the extent expressly provided herein), in each case to the 
extent permitted under applicable law, (i) any banker's or other statutory or 
similar Lien, and (ii) any right of set-off or other similar right under 
applicable law with respect to such Spread Account and any other Spread

the Collateral Agent, and each Secured Party of any charge or claim against 
or with respect to such Spread Account.  The Collateral Agent shall give the 
Seller and each Secured Party at least ten Business Days' prior written 
notice of any change in the location of such Spread Account or in any related 
account information.  If the Collateral Agent changes the location of any 
Spread Account, it shall change the location of the other Spread Accounts, so 
that all Spread Accounts shall at all times be located at the same depository 
institution.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless 
otherwise consented to by the Controlling Party in writing, the Collateral 
Agent shall have no right to change the location of any Spread Account.

          (b)  Upon the written request of the Controlling Party or the 
Seller and at the expense of the Seller, the Collateral Agent shall cause, at 
the expense of the Seller, the depository institution at which any Spread 
Account is located to forward to the requesting party copies of all monthly 
account statements for such Spread Account.

          (c)  If at any time any Spread Account ceases to be an Eligible 
Account, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Controlling Party of such fact 
and shall establish within 5 Business Days of such determination, in 
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, a successor Spread Account 
thereto, which shall be an Eligible Account, at another depository 
institution acceptable to the Controlling Party and shall establish successor 
Spread Accounts with respect to all other Spread Accounts, each of which 
shall be an Eligible Account at the same depository institution.

instrument evidencing a Spread Account shall be issued, and all contracts, 
receipts and other papers, if any, governing or evidencing a Spread Account 
shall be held by the Collateral Agent.

          (e)  A Spread Account Recourse Reduction Amount with respect to a 
Spread Account shall be treated fungibly with all other amounts on deposit in 
such Spread Account, EXCEPT THAT:

          (i)   if with respect to any Series, there exists a Collection 
     Account Shortfall and cash amounts available pursuant to priority FIRST 
     of Section 3.03(b) are not sufficient to satisfy such Collection Account 
     Shortfall, the Collateral Agent shall next withdraw cash amounts 
     available pursuant to priority SECOND of Section 3.03(b) up to the 
     amount of any remaining Collection Account Shortfall; if such amounts 
     are not sufficient to satisfy such Collection Account Shortfall, Spread 
     Account Recourse Reduction Amounts, if any, shall be deemed to be made 
     available pursuant to priority FIRST of Section 3.03(b) up to the amount 
     of any remaining Collection Account Shortfalls, and if such amounts are 
     not sufficient to satisfy such Collection Account Shortfall, all other 
     Spread Account Recourse Reduction Amounts, if any, shall be deemed to be 
     made available pursuant to priority SECOND of Section 3.03(b);

          (ii)  if amounts are to be made available from two or more Spread 
     Accounts pursuant to priority SECOND of Section 3.03(b), such amounts 
     shall, FIRST, be withdrawn PRO RATA from cash amounts on deposit therein 
     and, if such amounts are exhausted, SECOND, shall be deemed to be made 
     available PRO RATA from Spread Account Recourse 


                                      28
<PAGE>

     Reduction Amounts, if any (after taking into account amounts deemed to 
     be made available from Spread Account Recourse Reduction Amounts 
     pursuant to clause (i) above);

          (iii) if amounts are to be made available from a Spread Account 
     pursuant to priority FIRST or SECOND of Section 3.03(b) and any portion 
     or all of such amounts represent Spread Account Recourse Reduction 
     Amounts, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Trustee with respect to 
     the Series receiving the benefit of such Spread Account Recourse 
     Reduction Amounts of the amount so to be made available which is 
     represented by Spread Account Recourse Reduction Amounts;

          (iv)  if amounts are to be made available from a Spread Account 
     pursuant to priority THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH or EIGHTH of 
     Section 3.03(b), such amounts shall be withdrawn pro rata from cash 
     amounts on deposit therein and not from Spread Account Recourse 
     Reduction Amounts;

          (v)   any Spread Account Withdrawal Floor requirement for any 
     Series must be satisfied with cash amounts in the related Spread Account 
     and not with amounts representing a Spread Account Recourse Reduction 
     Amount; and

          (vi)  all references to investments in Eligible Investments in this 
     Agreement shall apply only to cash amounts in the respective Spread 
     Accounts and not to amounts representing a Spread Account Recourse 
     Reduction Amount.

          Section 3.05.  REPORTS BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT.  The Collateral 
Agent shall report to the Seller, Financial Security, the Trustee and the 
Servicer on a monthly basis no later than each Distribution Date with respect 
to the amount on deposit in each Spread Account and the identity of the 
investments included therein as of the last day of the related Monthly 
Period, and shall provide accountings of deposits into and withdrawals from 
the Spread Accounts, and of the investments made therein, to the independent 
accountants upon their request for purposes of their reports pursuant to 
Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements and Section 3.11 of the 
Sale and Servicing Agreements.

violation of the provisions of, this Agreement, (ii) which are in violation 
of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Collateral 
Agent has not received reasonable indemnity.  Receipt of such instructions 
shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its 
express duties hereunder, except where this Agreement provides that the 
Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with 
such instructions.

          Section 4.02.  PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES.  The Collateral Agent shall 
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this 
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Agent 
is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this 
Agreement.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any 
discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with the 
indemnification of the Controlling Party.

          Section 4.03.  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.  Neither the Collateral 
Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees, shall be liable for 
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in 
connection herewith, except that the Collateral Agent shall be liable for its 
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Collateral Agent 
be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or 
enforceability against the Seller or  OFL of this Agreement or any of the 
Collateral (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of 
this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Seller,  
OFL or the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral 
Agent in connection with the Collateral, except for the negligence or willful 
misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, and, further, shall incur no 
liability to the Secured Parties except for negligence or willful misconduct 
in carrying out its duties to the Secured Parties.  Subject to Section 4.04, 
the Collateral Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any 
such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the 
contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, 
signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Collateral 
Agent to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate 
signatory, and (absent actual knowledge to the contrary) the Collateral Agent 
shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect 
thereto.  The Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to 
establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to 
independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of facts that are a 
condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or 
under any of the Transaction Documents.  The Collateral Agent may consult 
with counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be 
taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written advice 
of such counsel.  The 


                                      30
<PAGE>

Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the 
remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to follow any 
direction from the Controlling Party unless it shall have received reasonable 
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against the costs, 
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it.

          Section 4.04.  RELIANCE UPON DOCUMENTS.  In the absence of bad 
faith or negligence on its part, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to 
rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably 
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by 
the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or 
omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable 
reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document or 
instrument.

          Section 4.05.  SUCCESSOR COLLATERAL AGENT.

          (a)  MERGER.  Any Person into which the Collateral Agent may be 
converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may 
sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as 
a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, 
consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Collateral Agent is a party, 
shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Collateral Agent 
hereunder) be and become a successor Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested 
with all of the title to and interest in the Collateral and all of the 
trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was 
its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any 
further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, 
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if 
any, that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection 
of, the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.

          (b)  RESIGNATION.  The Collateral Agent and any successor 
Collateral Agent may resign only (i) upon a determination that by reason of a 
change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this 
Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a 
manner which would result in a material adverse effect on the Collateral 
Agent, and the Controlling Party does not elect to waive the Collateral 
Agent's obligation to perform those duties which render it legally unable to 
act or elect to delegate those duties to another Person, or (ii) with the 
prior written consent of the Controlling Party.  The Collateral Agent shall 
give not less than 60 days' prior written notice of any such permitted 
resignation by registered or certified mail to the other Secured Party and 
the Seller; PROVIDED, that such resignation shall take effect only upon the 
date which is the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a 
successor Collateral Agent and the acceptance in writing by such successor 
Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its 
duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) delivery of 
the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures 
specified in Article II hereof, and (iii) receipt by the Controlling Party of 
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.02. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if by the contemplated date of 
resignation specified in the written notice of resignation delivered as 
described above no successor Collateral Agent or temporary successor 
Collateral Agent has been appointed Collateral Agent or becomes the 
Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection (d) hereof, the resigning Collateral 
Agent may petition a court of competent 


                                      31
<PAGE>

jurisdiction in New York, New York for the appointment of a successor.

          (c)  REMOVAL.  The Collateral Agent may be removed by the 
Controlling Party at any time, with or without cause, by an instrument or 
concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent, the 
other Secured Party and the Seller.  A temporary successor may be removed at 
any time to allow a successor Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to 
subsection (d) below. Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this 
subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of 
(i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and 
the acceptance in writing by such successor Collateral Agent of such 
appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in 
accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) delivery of the Collateral to 
such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in 
Article II hereof and (iii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an Opinion of 
Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.02.

          (d)  ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR.  The Controlling Party shall have the 
sole right to appoint each successor Collateral Agent.  Every temporary or 
permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, 
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to each Secured Party and the 
Seller an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the 
relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other 
documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral 
to the successor Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the 
procedures specified in Article II hereof, whereupon such successor, without 
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the 
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its 
predecessor.  Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of 
either Secured Party or the Seller, execute and deliver an instrument 
transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers 
of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing 
from the Seller or a Secured Party is reasonably required by a successor 
Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the 
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or 
intended to be vested hereunder in the Collateral Agent, any and all such 
written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent 
successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered 
by the Seller.  The designation of any successor Collateral Agent and the 
instrument or instruments removing any Collateral Agent and appointing a 
successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, 
shall be maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the 
extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor 
Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to 
effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent or to 
protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted 
hereunder.

          (e)  Any resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent and 
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent shall be effected with respect to 
this Agreement and all Series Supplements simultaneously, so that at no time 
is there more than one Collateral Agent acting hereunder and under all Series 
Supplements.

          Section 4.06.  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Seller and OFL shall indemnify 
the Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents for, and 
hold the Collateral Agent, 


                                      32
<PAGE>

its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless against, any loss, 
liability or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against 
any claim of liability) arising out of or in connection with the Collateral 
Agent's acting as Collateral Agent hereunder, except such loss, liability or 
expense as shall result from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct 
of the Collateral Agent or its officers or agents. The obligation of the 
Seller and OFL under this Section shall survive the termination of this 
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.  The 
Collateral Agent covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Seller 
hereunder and under Section 4.07 shall be limited to the extent provided in 
Section 2.08, and further covenants not to take any action to enforce its 
rights to indemnification hereunder with respect to the Seller and to payment 
under Section 4.07 except in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.05, 
or otherwise to assert any Lien or take any other action in respect of the 
Collateral or the Trust Property of a Series until the applicable Final 
Termination Date.

          Section 4.07.  COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.  The Seller agrees 
for the benefit of the Secured Parties and as part of the Secured Obligations 
(a) to pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time, reasonable 
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation 
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of 
a collateral trustee); and (b) to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its 
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or 
made by the Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of, or carrying 
out its duties and obligations under, this Agreement (including the 
reasonable compensation and fees and the expenses and disbursements of its 
agents, any independent certified public accountants and independent 
counsel), except any expense, disbursement or advances as may be attributable 
to negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral 
Agent.

          Section 4.08.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COLLATERAL 
AGENT. The Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Seller and to each 
Secured Party as follows:

          (a)  DUE ORGANIZATION.  The Collateral Agent is a national banking

and binding obligation of the Collateral Agent, enforceable against the 
Collateral Agent in accordance with its terms, except as (i) such

generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by 
equitable principles of general applicability.

          Section 4.09.  WAIVER OF SETOFFS.  The Collateral Agent hereby

Party alone in the place and stead of the Seller.

                                  Article V

                            COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

          Section 5.01.  PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL.  Subject to the rights, 
powers and authorities granted to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling 
Party in this Agreement, the Seller shall take such action as is necessary 
and proper with respect to the Collateral in order to preserve and maintain 
such Collateral and to cause (subject to the rights of the Secured Parties) 
the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations with respect to such

necessary, or required by the Controlling Party, to perfect the Security 
Interests granted hereunder in the Collateral, to ensure that such Security 
Interests rank prior to all other Liens and to preserve the priority of such 
Security Interests and the validity and enforceability thereof.  Upon any 
delivery or substitution of Collateral, the Seller shall be obligated to 
execute such documents and perform such actions as are necessary to create in 
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid first 
Lien on, and valid and perfected, first priority security interest in, the 
Collateral so delivered and to deliver such Collateral to the Collateral 
Agent, free and clear of any other Lien, together with satisfactory 
assurances thereof, and to pay any reasonable costs incurred by any of the 
Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent (including its agents) or otherwise 
in connection with such delivery.

cost and expense, furnish to each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent an 
Opinion of Counsel with respect to each Series either (a) stating that, in 
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the 
execution and filing of any financing 


                                      34
<PAGE>

statements and continuation statements and other actions as are necessary to

Parties, with respect to such Collateral against all creditors of and 
purchasers from the Seller or  OFL and reciting the details of such action,

financing statements and continuation statements and such other actions as 
will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to perfect, maintain and 
protect the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of 
the Secured Parties, with respect to such Collateral against all creditors of 
and purchasers from the Seller or OFL for a period, specified in such 
Opinion, continuing until a date not earlier than eighteen months from the 
date of such Opinion.

          Section 5.03.  NOTICES.  In the event that  OFL or the Seller

ASSETS.  The Seller covenants, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 
law, that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner 
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, 
valuation, stay, extension or redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any 
time hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of 
this Agreement or any absolute sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, or 
the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under Article VII of this 
Agreement; and the Seller, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 
for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives the benefit of all 
such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the 
execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will 
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had 
been enacted.  The Seller, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives,

Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure or other disposition thereof.

          Section 5.05.  NONINTERFERENCE, ETC.  The Seller shall not (i) 
waive or alter any of its rights under the Collateral (or any agreement or 
instrument relating thereto) without the prior written consent of the 
Controlling Party; or (ii) fail to pay any tax, assessment, charge or fee 
levied or assessed against the Collateral, or to defend any action, if such 
failure to pay or defend may adversely affect the priority or enforceability 
of the Seller's right, title or interest in and to the Collateral or the 
Collateral Agent's lien on, and security interest in, the Collateral for the 
benefit of the Secured Parties; or (iii) take any action, or fail to take any

its name, 


                                      35
<PAGE>

identity or corporate structure unless it shall have given each Secured Party 
and the Collateral Agent at least 60 days' prior written notice thereof, 
shall have effected any necessary or appropriate assignments or amendments 
thereto and filings of financing statements or amendments thereto, and shall 
have delivered to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party an Opinion of 
Counsel of the type described in Section S.02.  The parties hereto 
acknowledge receipt of prior written notice of the Seller's intent to change 
its name on or after January 1, 1997 to Arcadia Receivables Finance Corp.

          (b)  RELOCATION OF THE SELLER.  Neither  OFL nor the Seller shall 
change its principal executive office unless it gives each Secured Party and 
the Collateral Agent at least 90 days' prior written notice of any relocation 
of its principal executive office.  If the Seller relocates its principal 
executive office or principal place of business from Minnesota, the Seller 
shall give prior notice thereof to the Controlling Party and the Collateral 
Agent and shall effect whatever appropriate recordations and filings are 
necessary and shall provide an Opinion of Counsel to the Controlling Party 
and the Collateral Agent, to the effect that, upon the recording of any 
necessary assignments or amendments to previously-recorded assignments and 
filing of any necessary amendments to the previously filed financing or 
continuation statements or upon the filing of one or more specified new 
financing statements, and the taking of such other actions as may be 
specified in such opinion, the security interests in the Collateral shall 
remain, after such relocation, valid and perfected.

                                Article VI

                CONTROLLING PARTY; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

          Section 6.01.  APPOINTMENT OF CONTROLLING PARTY.  From and after 
the Closing Date of a Series until the Insurer Termination Date related to 
such Series, Financial Security shall be the Controlling Party with respect 
to such Series and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights given the 
Controlling Party hereunder with respect to such Series.  From and after the 
Insurer Termination Date related to such Series until the Trustee Termination 
Date related to such Series, the Trustee shall be the Controlling Party with 
respect to such Series.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a 
Financial Security Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee 
shall be the Controlling Party with respect to such Series until the 
applicable Trustee Termination Date.  If prior to an Insurer Termination Date 
the Trustee shall have become the Controlling Party with respect to a Series 
as a result of the occurrence of a Financial Security Default and either such 
Financial Security Default is cured or for any other reason ceases to exist 
or the Trustee Termination Date with respect to a Series occurs, then upon 
such cure or other cessation or on such Trustee Termination Date, as the case 
may be, Financial Security shall, upon notice thereof being duly given to the 
Collateral Agent, again be the Controlling Party with respect to such Series.

          Section 6.02.  CONTROLLING PARTY'S AUTHORITY.

          (a)  Each of  OFL and the Seller hereby irrevocably appoint the 
Controlling Party, and any successor to the Controlling Party appointed 
pursuant to Section 6.01, its true and 


                                      36
<PAGE>

lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of  OFL, the 
Seller, the Secured Parties or otherwise, but (subject to Section 2.08) at 
the expense of the Seller, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any 
time and from time to time while any Insurance Agreement Event of Default has 
occurred and is continuing, any or all of the following powers with respect 
to all or any of the Collateral related to the relevant Series: (i) to 
demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies 
due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (ii) to settle, compromise, 
compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto, 
(iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal with the same or the 
proceeds thereof as fully and effectively as if the Collateral Agent were the 
absolute owner thereof, and (iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all 
thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustments with respect thereto; 
PROVIDED that the foregoing powers and rights shall be exercised in 
accordance with the provisions of Article VII hereof.

          (b)  With respect to each Series of Certificates and the related 
Collateral, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally 
constitutes and appoints the Controlling Party with respect to such Series, 
and any successor to such Controlling Party appointed pursuant to Section 
6.01 from time to time, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such 
Secured Party for so long as such Secured Party is the Non-Controlling Party, 
with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any 
notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to do in the 
name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead of such 
Secured Party such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the 
name of such Secured Party under this Agreement with respect to such Series 
which such Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, 
desirable or convenient in such Controlling Party's sole discretion to effect 
the purposes contemplated hereunder and, without limitation, exercise full 
right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts 
with respect to the administration of the Collateral related to such Series, 
and the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder with 
respect to such Series, on behalf of and for the benefit of such Controlling 
Party and such Non-Controlling Party, as their interests may appear.

          (c)  So long as Financial Security shall be the Controlling Party 
with respect to a Series (other than the Warehousing Series), the Trustee 
hereby agrees, that if there exists an Insurance Agreement Event of Default 
with respect to such Series:

          (i)   Financial Security shall have the exclusive right to 
     direct the Trustee as to any and all actions to be taken under the 
     related Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all 
     actions with respect to the giving of directions to the Servicer and any 
     subservicer with respect to the servicing of the Receivables of such 
     Series; enforcement of any rights of the Trustee under such Transaction 
     Documents; and the giving or withholding of any other consents, 
     requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or 
     in respect of any such Transaction Documents; and

          (ii)  Financial Security shall have the right to control the time, 
     method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available 
     to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the 
     Trustee under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or under any 
     other Transaction Document, including the remedies provided in 


                                      37
<PAGE>

     Article VII;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may decline to follow any of the above 
directions from Financial Security, if the Trustee, in accordance with an 
opinion of counsel to the Trustee, that is independent of the Trustee, 
determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be 
taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or 
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which 
adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it or, in the case of actions 
or directions not specifically permitted to be taken by Financial Security so 
long as no Financial Security Default has occurred and is continuing, would 
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in any material 
respect.

          (d)  So long as Financial Security shall be the Controlling Party 
with respect to a Series (other than the Warehousing Series), the Trustee 
shall not, without the prior written consent of Financial Security:

          (i)   appoint new independent accountants with respect to the Series;

          (ii)  consent to the amendment of or supplement to any of the 
     Transaction Documents related to the Series; or

          (iii) waive a Servicer Termination Event under the related Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

          (e)  So long as Financial Security shall be the Controlling Party 
with respect to a Series:

          (i)   Financial Security shall have the rights provided in Section 5.3
     of each Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Section 5.4 of each Sale and 
     Servicing Agreement and Section 5.19 of each Indenture in respect of the
     direction of insolvency proceedings.

          (ii)  Financial Security shall have the right to direct the Trustee 
     as to any and all actions to be taken in the event of the occurrence of 
     a Servicer Termination Event under the related Pooling and Servicing 
     Agreement and shall have such other rights in respect of the appointment 
     of a successor servicer as are provided in such Pooling and Servicing 
     Agreement.

          Section 6.03.  RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTIES.  With respect to each 
Series of Certificates and the related Collateral, the Non-Controlling Party 
at any time expressly agrees that it shall not assert any rights that it may 
otherwise have, as a Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, to direct 
the maintenance, sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion 
thereof, notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of any Default with 
respect to such Series or any non-performance by  OFL or the Seller of any 
obligation owed to such Secured Party hereunder or under any other 
Transaction Document, and each party hereto agrees that the Controlling Party 
shall be the only Person entitled to assert and exercise such rights.

          Section 6.04.  DEGREE OF CARE.

          (a)  CONTROLLING PARTY.  Notwithstanding any term or provision of 
this Agreement, the Controlling Party shall incur no liability to  OFL or the 
Seller for any action taken or omitted by the Controlling Party in connection 
with the Collateral, except for any gross negligence, bad faith or willful 
misconduct on the part of the Controlling Party and, further, shall incur no 
liability to the Non-Controlling Party except for a breach of the terms of 
this Agreement or for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in 
carrying out its duties, if any, to the Non-Controlling Party.  The 
Controlling Party shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such 
party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents and 
assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, 
instrument or other document believed by the Controlling Party to be genuine 
and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent 
manifest error or actual knowledge to the contrary) the Controlling Party 
shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect 
thereto.  The Controlling Party shall, at all times, be free independently to 
establish to its reasonable satisfaction the existence or nonexistence, as 
the case may be, of any fact the existence or nonexistence of which shall be 
a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under this 
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

          (b)  THE NON-CONTROLLING PARTY.  The Non-Controlling Party shall 
not be liable to the Seller for any action or failure to act by the 
Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent in exercising, or failing to 
exercise, any rights or remedies hereunder.

                               Article VII

                           REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

          Section 7.01.  REMEDIES UPON A DEFAULT.  If a Default with respect 
to a Series has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, at 
the direction of the Controlling Party, take whatever action at law or in 
equity as may appear necessary or desirable in the judgment of the 
Controlling Party to collect and satisfy all Insurer Secured Obligations 
(including, but not limited to, foreclosure upon the Collateral and all other 
rights available to secured parties under applicable law) or to enforce 
performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant under any 
of the Transaction Documents related to such Series.  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to take any action and 
the Controlling Party shall not be entitled to give any direction with 
respect to the Trust Property, except to the extent provided in the 
Transaction Documents and Sections 6.02(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

          Section 7.02.  WAIVER OF DEFAULT.  The Controlling Party shall have 
the sole right, to be exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any 
Default by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such 
waiver signed by the Controlling Party and delivered to the Collateral Agent, 
the other Secured Party and the Seller.  Any such waiver shall be binding 
upon the Non-Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent.  Unless such writing 
expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only 
to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the default so waived 
and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs


                                      39
<PAGE>

subsequent to the date of such waiver.

          Section 7.03.  RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  If the 
Collateral Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy 
under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned 
for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Collateral Agent, 
then and in every such case the Seller, the Collateral Agent and each of the 
Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be 
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and 
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall continue as 
though no such proceeding had been instituted.

          Section 7.04.  NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE.  No right or remedy herein 
conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or 
either of the Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right 
or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, 
be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder 
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise (but, in each 
case, shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such 
remedies), and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically 
herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as 
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Controlling Party, 
and the exercise of or the beginning of the exercise of any right or power or 
remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the 
same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.

                               Article VIII

                              MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 8.01.  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each party hereto shall take 
such action and deliver such instruments to any other party hereto, in 
addition to the actions and instruments specifically provided for herein, as 
may be reasonably requested or required to effectuate the purpose or 
provisions of this Agreement or to confirm or perfect any transaction 
described or contemplated herein.

          Section 8.02.  WAIVER.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of 
this Agreement or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent 
and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy 
or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific 
instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The 
failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more 
instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of 
the terms or provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto or the partial 
exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a 
waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall 
continue in full force and effect.

          Section 8.03.  AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.  No amendment, modification, 
waiver or supplement to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement 
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have been made or 
consented to in writing by each of the parties hereto and 


                                      40
<PAGE>

each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that such amendment will 
not cause a reduction or withdrawal of a rating on any Series; PROVIDED, 
HOWEVER, that, for so long as Financial Security shall be the Controlling 
Party with respect to a Series, amendments, modifications, waivers or 
supplements hereto relating to such Series, the related Collateral or Spread 
Account or any requirement hereunder to deposit or retain any amounts in such 
Spread Account or to distribute any amounts therein as provided in Section 
3.03 shall be effective if made or consented to in writing by Financial 
Security, the Seller, OFL and the Collateral Agent (the consent of which 
shall not be withheld or delayed with respect to any amendment that does not 
adversely affect the Collateral Agent) but shall in no circumstances require 
the consent of the Trustee or the Certificateholders related to such Series 
or any other Series.

          Section 8.04.  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of 
this Agreement or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any 
circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Agreement shall, to any 
extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation 
or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent 
that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Agreement, and 
the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the 
parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is 
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the 
same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this 
Agreement.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of 
competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Collateral Agent, or 
any of the Secured Parties, hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall 
not affect in any way the ability of the Collateral Agent or any of the 
Secured Parties to pursue any other remedy available to it or them (subject, 
however, to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such remedies).

          Section 8.05.  NONPETITION COVENANT.  Notwithstanding any prior 
termination of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that it 
shall not, prior to one year and one day after the Final Scheduled 
Distribution Date with respect to each Series, acquiesce, petition or 
otherwise invoke or cause the Seller or  OFL to invoke the process of the 
United States of America, any State or other political subdivision thereof or 
any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or 
administrative functions of or pertaining to government for the purpose of 
commencing or sustaining a case by or against the Seller,  OFL or the Trust 
under a Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing 
a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other 
similar official of the Seller,  OFL or the Trust or all or any part of its 
property or assets or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs 
of the Seller,  OFL or the Trust.  The parties agree that damages will be an 
inadequate remedy for breach of this covenant and that this covenant may be 
specifically enforced.

          Section 8.06.  NOTICES.  All notices, demands, certificates, 
requests and communications hereunder ("notices") shall be in writing and 
shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the U.S. mails, 
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with 
such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return 
receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or

continue in effect until the last Final Termination Date to occur with

and the Collateral, if any, held hereunder and not to be used or applied in 
discharge of any obligations of the Seller or  OFL in respect of the Secured 
Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement, shall be released to and in 
favor of the Seller; PROVIDED that the provisions of Sections 4.06, 4.07 and

Collateral upon such termination.

          Section 8.08.  ASSIGNMENTS:  THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS; REINSURANCE.


                                      43
<PAGE>

          (a)  This Agreement shall be a continuing obligation of the parties 
hereto and shall (i) be binding upon the parties and their respective 
successors and assigns, and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable 
by each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent, and by their respective 
successors, transferees and assigns.  Neither the Seller nor  OFL may assign 
this Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior 
written consent of the Controlling Party.

          (b)  Financial Security shall have the right (unless a Financial 
Security Default shall have occurred and be continuing) to give 
participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into contracts 
of reinsurance with respect to any Policy issued in connection with a Series 
of Certificates and each such participant or reinsurer shall be entitled to 
the benefit of any representation, warranty, covenant and obligation of each 
party (other than Financial Security) hereunder as if such participant or 
reinsurer was a party hereto and, subject only to such agreement regarding 
such reinsurance or participation, shall have the right to enforce the 
obligations of each such other party directly hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, 
that no such reinsurance or participation agreement or arrangement shall 
relieve Financial Security of its obligations hereunder, under the 
Transaction Documents to which it is a party or under any such Policy.  In 
addition, nothing contained herein shall restrict Financial Security from 
assigning to any Person pursuant to any liquidity facility or credit facility 
any rights of Financial Security under this Agreement or with respect to any 
real or personal property or other interests pledged to Financial Security, 
or in which Federal Security has a security interest, in connection with the 
transactions contemplated hereby.  The terms of any such assignment or 
participation shall contain an express acknowledgment by such Person of the 
condition of this Section and the limitations of the rights of Financial 
Security hereunder.

          Section 8.09.  CONSENT OF CONTROLLING PARTY.  In the event that the 
Controlling Party's consent is required under the terms hereof or under the 
terms of any Transaction Document, it is understood and agreed that, except 
as otherwise provided expressly herein, the determination whether to grant or 
withhold such consent shall be made solely by the Controlling Party in its 
sole discretion.

          Section 8.10.  TRIAL BY JURY WAIVED.  Each of the parties hereto 
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right it may have to a 
trial by jury in respect of any litigation arising directly or indirectly out 
of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction 
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder.  
Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or 
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that 
such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the 
foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into 
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, by 
among other things, this waiver.

          Section 8.11.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by 
and construed, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties 
hereunder shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of 
New York.

          Section 8.12.  CONSENTS TO JURISDICTION.  Each of the parties 
hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of New York, any court in the state of New 
York located in the city and county of New York, and any appellate court from 
any thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it and related 
to or in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or 
the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or for recognition or 
enforcement of any judgment and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and 
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit or action 
or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York State court or, to 
the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties 
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding 
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the 
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  To the extent permitted by 
applicable law, each of the parties hereby waives and agrees not to assert by 
way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or 
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction 
of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an 
inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is 
improper or that this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or 
the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be litigated in or by such 
courts.  Each of  OFL and the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints and 
designates CT Corporation System, whose address is 1633 Broadway, New York, 
New York 10019, as its true and lawful attorney and duly authorized agent for 
acceptance of service of legal process.  Each of  OFL and the Seller agrees 
that service of such process upon such Person shall constitute personal 
service of such process upon it.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall 
limit or affect the rights of any party hereto to serve process in any other 
manner permitted by law or to start legal proceedings relating to any of the 
Transaction Documents against  OFL or the Seller or their respective property 
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          Section 8.13.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  It is expressly understood 
and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) Norwest Bank Minnesota, National 
Association is executing this Agreement (i) not in its individual capacity 
but in its capacity as trustee of the Trusts pursuant to the Transaction 
Documents and (ii) as Collateral Agent hereunder (b) in no case whatsoever 
shall Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association in its capacity as trustee 
of Trusts be personally liable on, or for any loss in respect of, any of the 
statements, representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations 
of the Trust hereunder, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by 
the parties hereto.

          Section 8.14.  DETERMINATION OF ADVERSE EFFECT.  Any determination 
of an adverse effect on the interest of the Secured Parties or the 
Certificateholders shall be made without consideration of the availability of 
funds under the Policies.

          Section 8.15.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in two 
or more counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall 
be considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and 
the same instrument.

          Section 8.16.  HEADINGS.  The headings of sections and paragraphs 
and the Table of Contents contained in this Agreement are provided for 
convenience only.  They form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect 
its construction or interpretation.

                              CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
 
    ARCADIA FINANCIAL LTD. (THE "COMPANY"), OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE
COMPANY, OR OUTSIDE REVIEWERS RETAINED BY THE COMPANY MAKING STATEMENTS ON
BEHALF OF THE COMPANY, OR UNDERWRITERS OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES, FROM TIME TO
TIME, MAY MAKE, IN WRITING OR ORALLY, "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" AS DEFINED
UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 (THE "ACT"). THIS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT, WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN IDENTIFIED
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT, IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF QUALIFYING FOR THE "SAFE
HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE ACT AND IS INTENDED TO BE A READILY AVAILABLE WRITTEN
DOCUMENT THAT CONTAINS FACTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FACTORS ARE IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHICH MAY BE MADE OR REFERRED TO IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT.
 
    THE FOLLOWING MATTERS, AMONG OTHERS, MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON
THE BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR
PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE, OF THE COMPANY. REFERENCE TO THIS CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF A FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT OR STATEMENTS SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A STATEMENT THAT ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY CAUSE
ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
OR STATEMENTS.
 
LIQUIDITY AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    NEGATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOWS.  The Company's business requires substantial
cash to support the payment of dealer participations, the funding of spread
accounts in connection with securitizations, the purchase of loans pending
securitization, the financing of repossessed inventory and other cash
requirements, in addition to debt service. To the extent that increases in the
volume of loan purchases and securitizations provide income, a substantial
portion of such income is received by the Company in cash over the life of the
loans. The Company has operated on a negative operating cash flow basis and
expects to continue to do so in the near future. The Company has historically
funded these negative operating cash flows principally through borrowings from
financial institutions, sales of equity securities and sales of senior and
subordinated notes. The Company may require additional capital in the future to
fund continued negative cash flows, although there can be no assurance that the
Company will have access to the capital markets in the future or that financing
will be available to satisfy the Company's operating and debt service
requirements or to fund its future growth. Factors which could affect the
Company's access to the capital markets, or the costs of such capital, include
changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, the perception in the
capital markets of the Company's business, results of operations, leverage,
financial condition and business prospects, and the performance of the Company's
securitization trusts. In addition, covenants with respect to the Company's debt
securities and credit facilities may significantly restrict the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness and to issue new classes of preferred
stock.
 
    POTENTIAL INABILITY TO REFINANCE EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS.  The Company's
ability to repay its outstanding indebtedness at maturity may depend on its
ability to refinance such indebtedness, which could be adversely affected if the
Company does not have access to the capital markets for the sale of additional
debt or equity through public offerings or private placements on terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. See "--Liquidity and Access to Capital
Resources--Negative Operating Cash Flows" above.
 
    DEPENDENCE ON WAREHOUSE FINANCING.  The Company depends on warehouse
facilities with financial institutions or institutional lenders to finance its
purchase of loans on a short-term basis pending securitization. At June 30,
1998, the Company had $875.0 million of warehouse facilities through various
financial institutions and institutional lenders, of which $821.0 million was
available. One of the facilities, with a capacity of $175.0 million, was
terminated by the Company in July 1998. The remaining facilities expire in
October 1998 and July 1999, subject to renewal or extension at the lenders'
option. There can be no assurance that such financing will continue to be
available on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The inability of the
Company to arrange additional warehouse facilities or to extend or replace
existing facilities when they expire would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and on the
Company's outstanding securities.
 
    DEPENDENCE ON SECURITIZATION.  The Company has relied upon its ability to
aggregate and sell loans as asset-backed securities in the secondary market to
generate cash proceeds for repayment of warehouse
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
facilities and to purchase new loans from dealers. Since inception, the Company
has securitized approximately $9.9 billion of automobile loans. At June 30,
1998, approximately $5.1 billion of these loans were outstanding. Accordingly,
adverse changes in the Company's asset-backed securities program or in the
asset-backed securities market for automobile receivables generally could
materially adversely affect the Company's ability to purchase and resell loans
on a timely basis and upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The
Company endeavors to effect public securitizations of its loans on at least a
quarterly basis. However, market and other considerations, including the
conformity of loans to insurance company and rating agency requirements, could
affect the timing of such transactions. Any delay in the sale of loans beyond a
quarter-end would eliminate the related gain on sale in the given quarter and
adversely affect the Company's reported earnings for such quarter. All of the
Company's securitizations since March 1993 and one of the Company's warehouse
facilities have utilized credit enhancement in the form of financial guaranty
insurance policies issued by FSA to achieve "AAA/Aaa" ratings with respect to
the asset-backed securities. The Company believes that financial guaranty
insurance policies reduce the costs of the securitizations and such warehouse
facility relative to alternative forms of credit enhancements available to the
Company. FSA is not required to insure Company-sponsored securitizations and
there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so or that future
Company-sponsored securitizations will be similarly rated.
 
LOAN PERFORMANCE RISKS
 
    POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
LIQUIDITY.  The Company's business, financial condition, results of operations
and liquidity depend, to a material extent, on the performance of loans
purchased and sold by the Company. When such loans are sold in securitizations,
the Company recognizes a gain on sale. Finance income receivable, the Company's
principal asset, has been calculated using assumptions concerning future
default, prepayment and net loss rates on securitized loans that are based on
the Company's historical experience, externally-generated industry information,
market conditions and expectations of future performance and present value
discount rates that the Company believes would be requested by an unrelated
purchaser of a similar stream of estimated cash flows. Management believes that
the Company's estimates of excess cash flow were reasonable at the time each
gain on sale of loans and related finance income receivable was recorded.
However, the actual rates of default and/or prepayment and/or net loss on such
loans may exceed those estimated for future valuation of the Company's finance
income receivable and consequently may adversely affect anticipated future
excess cash flow. The Company periodically reviews its default, prepayment and
net loss assumptions in relation to current performance of the loans and market
conditions, and, if necessary, adjusts the balance of finance income receivable.
The Company has made two significant adjustments to its finance income
receivable, one at June 30, 1998 and one at March 31, 1997, both after
completing such reviews. These adjustments resulted in reductions to finance
income receivable of $114.5 million and $98.0 million, respectively. The June
1998 adjustment was due to a change in accounting estimate related to expected
charge off, recovery and prepayment rates. The March 1997 adjustment was the
result of revisions to management's estimate of future recovery rates on the
sale of repossessed inventory. The Company's business, financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected by
additional adjustments in the future. No assurance can be given that loan losses
and prepayments will not exceed the Company's estimates or that finance income
receivable could be sold at its stated value on the balance sheet, if at all.
 
    POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS ON CASH FLOW FROM SECURITIZATIONS.  The Company's
future liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to finance the growth
of its business and to repay or refinance its indebtedness, will depend to a
material extent on distributions of excess cash flow from securitization trusts.
The Company's agreements with FSA provide that the Company must maintain in a
spread account for each insured securitization trust specified levels of excess
cash during the life of the trust. These spread accounts are initially funded
out of initial deposits and/or cash flows from the related trust. Thereafter,
during each month, excess cash flow due to Arcadia Receivables Finance Corp.
("ARFC") from all insured securitization trusts is first used to replenish any
spread account deficiencies and is then distributed to ARFC and from ARFC to the
Company. The timing and amount of distributions of excess cash from
securitization trusts
 
                                       2
<PAGE>

varies based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, loan
delinquencies, defaults and net losses, the rate of turnover of repossession
inventory and recovery rates, the ages of loans in the portfolio, prepayment
experience and required spread account levels. A deterioration of the Company's
loan delinquencies, cumulative defaults or net losses, a build-up in
repossession inventory, the anticipated increase in the proportion of
repossession inventory sold in the wholesale auction markets resulting from the
Company's decision to discontinue its retail resale of repossession inventory,
or an increase in the proportion of loans in their first and second years, would
reduce excess cash available to the Company. At June 30, 1998, the Company had
an aggregate of $266.7 million of restricted cash in spread accounts. There can
be no assurance that in the future the Company will not experience an
interruption of excess cash flow from ARFC, which could adversely affect the
Company's ability to pay its obligations.
 
    Each insured securitization trust has certain portfolio performance tests
relating to levels of delinquency, defaults and net losses on the loans in such
trust based in part on the relative percentage of Premier and Classic loans.
Portfolio performance tests require that the loan portfolio of each insured
securitization trust (i) have an average delinquency ratio not equal to or in
excess of a specified percentage, (ii) have a cumulative default rate not equal
to or in excess of specified percentages which vary based on the aging of the
loan portfolio, and (iii) have a cumulative net loss rate not equal to or in
excess of specified percentages which vary based on the aging of the loan
portfolio. If any of these tests are exceeded (a "violation"), the amount
required to be retained in the spread account related to such securitization
trust will be increased to an amount generally equal to the greater of 10% of
the outstanding balance of loans or 1% of the original balance of loans held by
the securitization trust. As a consequence, a violation generally will decrease
excess cash flow available from such securitization trust until loan portfolio
performance has returned to the required limits for a specified period,
generally three to five months, unless waived by FSA. FSA and the Company have
an arrangement under which, if any insured securitization trust exceeds the
specified portfolio performance tests, ARFC may, in lieu of retaining the excess
cash from that securitization trust in the related spread account, pledge an
equivalent amount of cash, which has the effect of preventing the violation of
the portfolio performance test. Although certain trusts, primarily those that
contained loans originated in 1995, have exceeded portfolio performance tests
and are still in excess of such tests, this arrangement with FSA has prevented a
violation, although it has reduced the amount of cash that would otherwise have
been available to the Company for use if the Company had sought and received a
waiver of such violation from FSA. A deterioration of the Company's
delinquencies, cumulative defaults or net losses would result in one or more
additional existing securitization trusts exceeding one or more of these tests
in the absence of changes to the trigger levels. There can be no assurance that,
in such event, waivers will be available from FSA permitting payments to ARFC.
 
    Upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to any series of 
asset-backed securities insured by FSA, including the failure to meet loan 
portfolio performance tests of the nature described above but at 
significantly higher levels, or upon a breach of the collateral coverage 
requirements of the FSA-insured warehouse facility (an "Insurance Agreement 
Event of Default"), the Company will be in default under its insurance 
agreement with FSA. Upon an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, unless 
waived by FSA, FSA may suspend distributions of cash flow from the related 
securitization trust and all other FSA-insured trusts (including the 
FSA-insured warehouse facility) until the asset-backed securities have been 
redeemed, capture excess cash flow from performing trusts, increase its 
premiums and replace the Company as servicer with respect to all FSA-insured 
trusts. There can be no assurance that a further deterioration of the 
Company's loan delinquencies, gross charge-offs and net losses would not 
result in an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, which could adversely 
affect the Company's ability to satisfy its obligations. Certain of the 
Company's securitization trusts have exceeded such insurance agreement 
thresholds and continue to exceed such thresholds and the Company has 
obtained waivers from FSA to permit distributions of cash to ARFC. There can 
be no assurance that in the future, if such thresholds are exceeded, waivers 
will be available.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    In addition, the spread account for each securitization is
cross-collateralized to the spread accounts established in connection with the
Company's other securitization trusts (including the FSA-insured warehouse
facility) such that excess cash flow from a performing securitization trust may
be used to support negative cash flow from, or to replenish a deficient spread
account in connection with, a nonperforming securitization trust, thereby
further restricting excess cash flow available to ARFC. If excess cash flow from
all insured securitization trusts is not sufficient to replenish all such spread
accounts, no cash flow would be available to the Company from ARFC for that
month. Excess cash flow has been interrupted in the past, and there can be no
assurance that in the future the Company will not experience an interruption of
excess cash flow from ARFC which could adversely affect the Company's ability to
pay its obligations, including the Notes offered hereby. FSA also has a
collateral security interest in the stock of ARFC. If FSA were to foreclose on
such security interest following an event of default under an insurance
agreement with respect to a securitization trust (including the FSA-insured
warehouse facility), FSA could preclude payment of dividends by ARFC to the
Company, thereby eliminating the Company's right to receive distributions of
excess cash flow from all the FSA-insured securitization trusts. The Company's
right to service the loans sold in securitizations insured by FSA is also
generally subject to the discretion of FSA. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the Company will continue as servicer for such loans and receive
related servicing fees.
 
    Any increase in limitations on cash flow available to the Company from ARFC
(including any increase in the amount of cash pledged under the arrangement with
FSA), inability to obtain any necessary waivers from FSA or termination of
servicing arrangements could materially adversely affect the Company's cash flow
and liquidity, and, ultimately, its business, financial condition and results of
operations and its outstanding securities.
 
    IMPACT OF PORTFOLIO GROWTH AND PRODUCT MIX.  Historically, the statistical
incidence of delinquencies and defaults in connection with automobile loans
tends to vary over the age of the loan. For example, statistically, loans that
are between six and fourteen months old have had a higher likelihood of being
delinquent or defaulting than loans with similar credit characteristics that are
three months old. Accordingly, to the extent that the Company's historical
portfolio growth has resulted in a servicing portfolio containing
disproportionately more loans originated within the prior six months, the
current and historical delinquency and default rates of loans in the servicing
portfolio may understate future delinquency and default rates.
 
    In addition, to the extent the Company offers new loan products which
involve different underwriting policies, the delinquency and default rates of
the Company's servicing portfolio may change. The Company has instituted a
tiered pricing system and has consistently increased the amount of loans
purchased under its Classic program, which involves borrowers who do not meet
all of the underwriting standards in the Company's Premier program and are
charged rates of interest higher than those under the Company's Premier program.
The Company increased its purchase of loans under the Classic program from 17%
of the principal amount of loans purchased in 1995 to 36% in 1996, 55% in 1997
and 71% in the first six months of 1998. As a result of the increases in Classic
loans as a proportion of the Company's portfolio, there has been an increase in
the rates of, and reserves for, delinquencies, repossessions and losses
historically reported by the Company. The expansion of the Classic loan program
and seasoning of the Company's existing servicing portfolio will likely continue
to cause the Company's loan performance statistics to show higher delinquencies,
gross charge-offs and net losses when compared with historical performance even
if such loan performance statistics are consistent with the Company's reserves
for loan losses.
 
    To estimate future delinquency, repossession and loss experience on its
loans, the Company uses a combination of factors, including actual Company loan
performance experience and industry experience on loans with similar credit
characteristics. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company implemented
refinements to its method for estimating future delinquency, repossession and
loss experience, which resulted in a significant downward adjustment to finance
income receivable at June 30, 1998. See "--Loan Performance Risks--Potential
Negative Effects on Financial Condition, Results of Operations and Liquidity"
above. However, there can be no assurance that its loans will perform under
varying economic conditions in the manner currently estimated by the Company.
Any increase in delinquency, repossession and loss
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
rates related to its loans above the rates estimated by the Company could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations, as well as its liquidity. In addition, certain of the
Company's loan products which produce higher delinquency, repossession and loss
rates than expected may continue to have an impact on the Company's overall loan
performance, even after being discontinued or modified, until such loans are
repaid or have defaulted. In 1996, the Company discontinued a Classic loan
product directed at first-time credits and modified a Classic program for
financing the sale of its repossessed inventory in retail markets, each of which
had experienced higher than expected delinquency, repossession and loss rates,
but the loans generated under this program have continued to impact the
performance of those securitization pools containing them.
 
    EXTENSIONS AND AMENDMENTS.  Like others in the industry, the Company gives
certain obligors extensions or amendments to loan terms in certain
circumstances, including when the Company believes such obligors will thereby be
more likely to repay their loans, and losses on such loans can be reduced. Loans
that have been extended or amended generally present substantially higher
default risks than loans that have neither of these characteristics. Primarily
as a result of the expansion of the Classic program (which involves higher
credit risks than the Premier program), the portion of the Company's servicing
portfolio which exhibits one or both of these characteristics has increased.
Extensions and amendments (in the aggregate) averaged approximately 3.3% of the
servicing portfolio per month in 1997, 2.7% per month in 1996 and 1.9% per month
in 1995, and with seasonal peaks occurring during the Christmas holiday season.
Extensions and amendments (in the aggregate) averaged approximately 3.0% per
month for the first six months of 1998, compared to 3.5% per month for the first
six months of 1997. The Company believes that one reason for the increase in
extensions and amendments as a percentage of the servicing portfolio during 1997
was the slower rate of growth in the size of the Company's portfolio, which
resulted in a higher percentage of loans of the age that are more likely to be
extended or amended. Any continued slowing of growth could contribute to a
further increase in such statistics. The Company considers these characteristics
when establishing its loss reserves. In certain circumstances, loans that have
been extended or amended have the effect of removing the related loan from
delinquent status.
 
    POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF COVENANTS UNDER FINANCING
AGREEMENTS.  Increases in loan delinquency and loss rates with respect to any
securitization trust may result in the trust's portfolio exceeding the various
pool performance levels established by FSA, thereby restricting or cutting off
cash distributions from the securitization trust spread accounts to ARFC (and
thus to the Company). See "--Loan Performance Risks-- Possible Restrictions On
Cash Flow from Securitizations" above. In addition, such increases may cause the
Company to exceed certain pool performance tests established in other agreements
governing its indebtedness. If at the end of any month the Portfolio Net Loss
Ratio (as defined) exceeds 6.0%, the Delinquency Ratio (as defined) exceeds
4.5%, the Net Pledged Receivable Loss Ratio for Pledged Receivables (as defined)
exceeds 1.0%, or the Average Excess Spread Percentage (as defined) is less than
5.5% (which level is subject to increase if the Portfolio Net Loss Ratio is
higher than 4.0%), an event of default will occur under one of the Company's
outstanding warehouse facilities. The delinquency level is calculated as a
percentage of outstanding principal balance of all automobile loans owned or
securitized by the Company as to which a payment is more than thirty days past
due. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under such warehouse facility,
the lending banks under such facility would have no further obligation to extend
additional credit. Furthermore, any such event of default or acceleration may
trigger cross-defaults under other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and
may result in the acceleration of amounts due thereunder. The increase in
Classic loans, among other things, has increased the risk that the Company may
trigger its Portfolio Net Loss Ratio covenants in the future.
 
    RESALE AND FINANCING OF REPOSSESSIONS  In addition to wholesale distribution
channels, the Company has regularly disposed of repossessed vehicles through
retail markets, primarily retail used car consignment lots. In July 1998 the
Company announced that it has decided to discontinue its retail disposition of
repossessed vehicles and anticipates having eliminated this program by the end
of 1998. The Company's adjustments to finance income receivable at June 30, 1998
and March 31, 1997 both included amounts
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
related to a reduction in the estimated recovery rates on then current
repossessed inventory and anticipated future inventory arising from then
existing securitization transactions. During the first six months of 1998,
approximately 26% of repossessed vehicles sold were liquidated through retail
markets, compared with 55% in the first six months of 1997 and 46% in all of
1997.
 
    The Company's repossession inventory has generally increased as a percentage
of its servicing portfolio due in part to the period repossessions have been
held pending retail resale, which is typically a longer period of time than for
wholesale auctions, and also to the increase in the rate of loan defaults and
changes in the number and type of dealers used for retail repossession sales. At
June 30, 1998, the Company had $28.9 million of repossessed inventory, compared
to $55.3 million at December 31 1997, $64.9 million at December 31, 1996, and
$17.7 million at December 31, 1995. The decrease in inventory at June 30, 1998
was primarily the result of the Company's increased use of wholesale
distribution channels during 1998 and the resulting increase in inventory
turnover. There can be no assurance that any further softening of used car
markets or other factors will not cause the Company's recovery rate on
repossessed vehicles to decline further, which could require additional
adjustments to estimated recovery rates and finance income receivable.
 
    In connection with its retail dispositions of repossessions, the Company has
offered to finance the purchase of the resold automobile by a new buyer.
Delinquency, gross charge-off and net loss rates associated with loans on
repossessed automobiles have historically been substantially in excess of the
same statistics associated with the Company's remaining servicing portfolio.
 
    POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF INCREASE IN PERSONAL BANKRUPTCIES.  Recent
media reports have suggested an increase in the number of personal bankruptcy
filings and during most of 1997 and the first half of 1998 the Company
experienced a slight increase in the proportion of its servicing portfolio
representing loans to borrowers who have filed for bankruptcy protection. A
continuation or increase in such trend could contribute to greater default and
net loss rates than the Company has historically experienced.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 
    MARKET CONDITIONS.  Periods of economic slowdown or recession, whether
general, regional or industry-related, may increase the risk of default on
automobile loans and may have an adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Such periods also may be
accompanied by decreased consumer demand for automobiles, resulting in reduced
demand for automobile loans and declining values of automobiles securing
outstanding loans, thereby weakening collateral coverage and increasing the
possibility of losses in the event of default. The increased proportion of loans
generated under the Company's Classic program has increased the Company's
sensitivity to changes in economic conditions. In addition, recent reports of
increases in consumer bankruptcy filings and default rates on consumer credit
during a period of economic growth indicate that the impact of consumer behavior
on default rates is not limited to periods of economic slowdown or recession.
 
    Moreover, significant increases in the inventory of used automobiles during
recessionary economies may depress the prices at which repossessed automobiles
may be sold or delay the timing of such sales. A continuation of the recent
softening of the used car market as the result of factors including the recent
start-up of superstore competition or forecasted levels of used lease vehicles
that will be available in the market could have a similar effect on prices for
and timing of sales of repossession inventory. There can be no assurance that
the used automobile markets will be adequate for the sale of the Company's
repossessed automobiles and any material deterioration of such markets could
increase the Company's loan losses or reduce recoveries from the sale of
repossession inventory. Any such event might have an adverse effect on loan loss
levels, and on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. In addition, the Company has channeled a portion of its repossession
inventory through retail resale markets instead of wholesale markets, including
the financing of such retail sales, which has had the effect of reducing the
Company's loan losses while increasing repossession inventory and delaying cash
flow recovered from inventory turnover. In July 1998 the Company announced that
it has decided to discontinue its retail disposition of repossessed vehicles and
anticipates having eliminated this program by the end of 1998.
 
    INTEREST RATES.  The Company's profitability may be directly affected by the
level of and fluctuations in interest rates, which affect the Company's gross
interest rate spread. The Company monitors the interest rate environment and
employs prefunding or other hedging strategies designed to mitigate the impact
of changes in interest rates on its gross interest rate spread. However, there
can be no assurance that the profitability of the Company would not be adversely
affected during any period of changes in interest rates.
 
    LABOR MARKET CONDITIONS.  The Company's ability to manage portfolio
delinquency, default and loss rates is dependent on its ability to attract and
retain qualified servicing and collection personnel. In recent months, low
unemployment rates driven by economic growth and the continued expansion of the
consumer credit markets have contributed to an increase in employee turnover
rate, especially among the Company's
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
collection personnel. Continued high turnover relative to historical levels, or
an inability to attract and retain replacement personnel, could have an adverse
effect on the Company's portfolio delinquency, default and net loss rates and,
ultimately, its financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
 
LITIGATION
 
    On March 4, 1997 a shareholder commenced an action against the Company and
certain named directors and officers of the Company entitled Taran v. Olympic
Financial Ltd. et al. in the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota. Four similar lawsuits, three of them in the United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota (Frank Dibella, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated vs. Olympic Financial Ltd. et al., Michael Diemer vs.
Olympic Financial Ltd. et al. and Howard Pisnoy vs. Olympic Financial Ltd. et
al.) and one in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York (North River Trading, LLC, and Allan Farkas, and All Others Similarly
Situated vs. Olympic Financial Ltd. et al.) were filed after that time. These
suits have been consolidated in one suit, In re Olympic Financial Ltd.
Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota. Plaintiffs in the consolidated action allege that during the period
from July 20, 1995 through March 3, 1997 the defendants, in violation of federal
securities laws, engaged in a scheme that had the effect of artificially
inflating, maintaining and otherwise manipulating the value of the Company's
Common Stock by, among other things, making baseless, false and misleading
statements about the current state and future prospects of the Company,
particularly with respect to the Classic program and the refinancing of
repossessed automobiles. Plaintiffs allege that this scheme included making
false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts. The
consolidated action is in the preliminary stages and the parties have not begun
discovery. The Company has reviewed the complaint in the consolidated action and
believes that the consolidated action is without merit and intends to defend it
vigorously. There can, however, be no assurance that the Company will prevail in
such defense or that any order, judgment, settlement or decree arising out of
this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
    The nature of the Company's business is such that it is routinely a party or
subject to other items of pending or threatened litigation, including litigation
involving actions against borrowers to collect amounts on loans or to repossess
vehicles and litigation challenging the terms of loans purchased by the Company.
Although the ultimate outcome of certain of these matters cannot be predicted,
management of the Company believes, based upon information currently available
and the advice of counsel, that the resolution of those various matters
currently pending will not result in any material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
 
    The historical growth of the Company's servicing portfolio and the greater
proportion of Classic loans contained in that portfolio have resulted in
increased demands on the Company's personnel and systems. The Company's ability
to support, manage and control growth is dependent upon, among other things, its
ability to hire, train, supervise and manage its larger workforce. Furthermore,
the Company's ability to manage portfolio delinquency and loss rates is
dependent upon the maintenance of efficient collection and repossession
procedures and adequate staffing therefor. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have trained personnel and systems adequate to support its key
initiatives. Since 1996 the Company has opened four regional collection centers
and taken a number of initiatives to improve its servicing and collection
performance. There can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The business of financing automobiles is highly competitive. Existing and
potential competitors include well-established financial institutions, such as
banks, other automobile finance companies, small loan companies, thrifts,
leasing companies and captive finance companies owned by automobile
manufacturers, such as General Motors Acceptance Corporation, Chrysler Credit
Corp. and Ford Motor Credit Company.
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
Many of these competitors have greater financial, technical and marketing
resources than the Company and from time to time offer special buyer incentives
in the form of below-market interest rates on certain classes of vehicles. Many
of such competitors also have longstanding relationships with automobile dealers
and some of such major competitors provide other forms of financing to
automobile dealers, including dealer floor plan financing and leasing, which are
not provided by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully with such competitors.
 
REGULATION
 
    The Company's business is subject to numerous federal and state consumer
protection laws and regulations, which, among other things: (i) require the
Company to obtain and maintain certain licenses and qualifications; (ii) limit
the interest rates, fees and other charges the Company is allowed to charge;
(iii) limit or prescribe certain other terms of the Company's automobile loan
contracts; (iv) require specific disclosures; and (v) define the Company's
rights to repossess and sell collateral. The Company believes it is in
substantial compliance with all such laws and regulations, and that such laws
and regulations have had no material effect on the Company's ability to operate
its business. Changes in existing laws or regulations, or in the interpretation
thereof, or the promulgation of any additional laws or regulations, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations and upon its outstanding securities.

UNDESIGNATED SHARES; ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS

    The authorized and unissued stock of the Company, other than shares reserved
for issuance pursuant to options and warrants, consists of undesignated shares.
The Board of Directors, without any action by the Company's shareholders, is
authorized to designate and issue the undesignated shares in such classes or
series as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and
privileges of such shares, including dividend, liquidation and voting rights.
The Company has adopted a shareholder rights plan to deter a hostile takeover.
Further, certain provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act may
operate to discourage a negotiated acquisition or unsolicited takeover of the
Company. Each or any of the foregoing could have the effect of entrenching the
Company's directors, impeding or deterring an unsolicited tender offer or
takeover proposal regarding the Company and thereby depriving the then current
shareholders of the ability to sell their shares at a premium over the market
price, or otherwise adversely affecting the voting power, dividend, liquidation
and other rights of holders of Common Stock.
