Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be promptly paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, sale proceeds, and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral. 4.07 Remedies.

If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 Business Days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.05(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. Page 34 4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Presentation of Collateral. The Lender's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise. 4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest.

The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 11.17 Intent.

With respect to each Contract for which the title document has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received and delivered to the custodian written evidence that such title document showing the Borrower as first lienholder has been applied for. (hh) Each Contract represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contract Debtor thereunder and is enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby.

(gg) (A) If the Contract was originated in a State in which notation of security interest on the title document of the related Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document for such Financed Vehicle shows the Borrower named as the original and only secured party under the related Contract as the holder of a first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle; provided that any assumed name, designation or trade name may be used by the Borrower on the title document; provided further that the use of any such assumed name, designation or trade name by the Borrower shall result in a fully perfected first priority security interest in favor of Borrower and a legal opinion has been delivered to Lender by Borrower's legal counsel stating the foregoing, and (B) if the Contract was originated in a State in which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in motor vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show the Borrower named as the secured party under the Contract. With respect to each Contract for which the title document has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received and delivered to the custodian written evidence that such title document showing the Borrower as first lienholder has been applied for. (hh) Borrower has an executed power of attorney from the lawful owner of the Contract that authorizes Borrower or any third party so authorized by Borrower to execute any title related documents in connection with the servicing and collection of the Contract. (ii) Each Contract represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contract Debtor thereunder and is enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver such contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be granted thereby. (jj) Each Contract Debtor is and continues to be domiciled in the United States, unless serving abroad in the United States armed forces. (kk) No Financed Vehicle has suffered a casualty and no Financed Vehicle has been materially damaged and not repaired, and no Financed Vehicle is located outside of the United States. (ll) The Financed Vehicle is customarily used and garaged in the state issuing the Certificate of Title. (mm) Financed Vehicle was properly delivered to the related Contract Debtor in good repair, without material defects and in satisfactory order. Each Financed Vehicle was accepted by the Contract Debtor after reasonable opportunity to inspect and test same and, at the time of such delivery and acceptance, no Contract Debtor informed the Borrower of any material defect therein. (nn) No Contract Debtor is involved in the business of leasing or selling any Financed Vehicles. (oo) No Contract constitutes a "consumer lease" under either (A) the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose law governs the Contract, or (B) the Consumer Leasing Act, 15 U.S.C. 1667. (pp) Such other additional representations and warranties as the Lender at its sole discretion shall require with respect to Acquired Contracts that are acquired by the Borrower after the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT B FORM OF CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT EXHIBIT C [FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER] (date) Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. 600 Steamboat Road Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 Dear Sirs and Mesdames: You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as counsel to _______________, a ________ corporation, (the "Borrower"), with respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of [Month] __, 2001 (the "Loan and Security Agreement"), by and between the Borrower and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the "Lender"), being executed contemporaneously with a Promissory Note dated ____ _, ____ from the Borrower to the Lender (the "Note"), a Custodial Agreement, dated as of [Month] __, 1998 (the "Custodial Agreement"), by and among the Borrower, ________________ (the "Custodian"), and the Lender. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. [We] [I] have examined the following documents: the Loan and Security Agreement; the Note; Custodial Agreement; unfiled copies of the financing statements listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the "Financing Statements") naming the Borrower as Debtor and the Lender as Secured Party and describing the Collateral (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) as to which security interests may be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States listed on Schedule 1 (the "Filing Collateral"), which I understand will be filed in the filing offices listed on Schedule 1 (the "Filing Offices"); the reports listed on Schedule 2 as to UCC financing statements (collectively, the "UCC Search Report"); and such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion. To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Loan and Security Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that: The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of [state] and is qualified to transact business in, duly licensed and is in good standing under, the laws of each state in which any Contract is originated to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Contract and the servicing of each Contract pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Borrower has the corporate power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note, and the Custodial Agreement and all requisite corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note, and the Custodial Agreement and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. The Borrower has all requisite corporate power to borrow under the Loan and Security Agreement and to grant a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note, and the Custodial Agreement, and the borrowings by the Borrower and the pledge of the Collateral under the Loan and Security Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower. Each of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note and the Custodial Agreement have been executed and delivered by the Borrower and are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against the Borrower, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Lender's security interest in the Contracts. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required on the part of the Borrower for the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the Advance and Security Agreement, the Note and the Custodial Agreement or for the borrowings by the Borrower under the Loan and Security Agreement or the granting of a security interest to the Lender in the Collateral, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note and the Custodial Agreement do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Borrower's charter or by-laws, (b) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Borrower of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Borrower which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the properties, business or financial condition, or prospects of the Borrower or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Borrower to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Borrower or which would draw into question the validity of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note, the Custodial Agreement or the Contracts or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of the Borrower to perform under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Note, the Custodial Agreement or the Contracts. The Loan and Security Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Lender, a valid security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all of the right, title and interest of the Borrower in, to and under the Collateral as collateral security for the payment of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement), except that (a) such security interests will continue in Collateral after its sale, exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-306 of the Uniform Commercial Code, (b) the security interests in Collateral in which the Borrower acquires rights after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code. When the Contracts are delivered to the Custodian, the security interest referred to in paragraph 7 above in the Contracts will constitute a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower therein, in the Contracts evidenced thereby and in the Borrower's interest in the related Financed Vehicle. Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Lender as "Secured Party" and the Borrower as "Debtor", and describing the Collateral, in the jurisdictions and recording offices listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, the security interests referred to in paragraph 8 above will constitute fully perfected security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of the Borrower in, to and under such Collateral, which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code. The UCC Search Report sets forth the proper filing offices and the proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons who have on file in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 1 financing statements covering the Filing Collateral as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. Except for the matters listed on Schedule 2, the UCC Search Report identifies no Person who has filed in any Filing Office a financing statement describing the Filing Collateral prior to the effective dates of the UCC Search Report. The Borrower is duly registered as a [____________] in each state in which Contracts were originated to the extent such registration is required by applicable law, and has obtained all other licenses and governmental approvals in each jurisdiction to the extent that the failure to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any Contract unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under, or the enforceability of, the Loan Documents. Assuming that all other elements necessary to render a Contract legal, valid, binding and enforceable were present in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of each Contract (including completion of the entire Contract fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations) and assuming further that no action was taken in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of each Contract (including in connection with the sale of the related Financed Vehicle) that would give rise to a defense to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such Contract, nothing in the forms of such Contracts, as attached hereto as Exhibit A, would render such Contracts other than legal, valid, binding and enforceable. Assuming their validity, binding effect and enforceability in all other respects (including completion of the entire Contract fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations), the forms of Contracts attached hereto as Exhibit A are in sufficient compliance with ________ law and Federal consumer protection laws so as not to be rendered void or voidable at the election of the Contract Debtor thereunder.
