of St. Louis, a national banking corporation (the "Servicer"), BNB Auto, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Servicer, and The Chase
Manhattan Bank (USA), a Delaware banking corporation, as owner trustee.
Subsequent to the merger of The Chase Manhattan Bank and Chemical Bank, The Bank

September 1, 1995 with the Servicer (the "Sales and Servicing Agreement"), on

behalf of the Trust, a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts
and simple interest loan note and security agreements. The Trust is also party
to an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1995 between the Trust and Chemical
Bank, a New York banking corporation, as indenture trustee related to the notes
described below. Subsequent to the merger of The Chase Manhattan Bank and
Chemical Bank, The Chase Manhattan Bank continued as indenture trustee, (the
"Indenture Trustee"). Also on September 27, 1995, the Trust issued asset backed
notes and asset backed certificates consisting of $85,300,000 of Class A-1

referred to herein as the "Notes"); and $12,137,649 of 6.35% Asset Backed
Certificates (the "Certificates").
The property of the Trust includes the pool of motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts and simple interest loan note and security agreements

"Receivables") which were acquired from the Servicer. The property of the Trust

Receivables, (iii) certain accounts and the proceeds thereof, (iv) any proceeds
