Cost of Funds is based shall become effective as of the opening of business on
the day on which such change is announced.

below that which such Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for
such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Purchaser's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by

the Deal Agent or any Purchaser hereunder, the amounts so payable to
the Deal Agent or such Purchaser shall be increased to the extent

Purchaser as a result of any such failure.

W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to
establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each
such Purchaser which delivers to the Transferor and the Deal Agent any
such Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9 further undertakes to
deliver to the Transferor and the Deal Agent two further copies of Form
1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms, or
other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the
date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to the Transferor and the Deal Agent and
such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by
the Transferor, certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such
Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Purchaser from duly
completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such
Purchaser advises the Transferor that it is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal
income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

termination of this Supplement and the payment of all amounts payable
hereunder.

pursuant to this Section 16(d) to any Purchaser to the extent such

this Section 16(d).
(v) Each Purchaser shall furnish the Deal Agent, and the
Deal Agent shall furnish the Transferor (to the extent received from
the Purchasers), with information necessary to enable the Transferor

requirements regarding payments of interest received by Purchasers
under this Supplement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
16, the payment to the Purchasers for any amounts payable under this Section 16,

AFG MASTER TRUST
SERIES 1997-1 NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, the AFG Master Trust (the
"Trust"), hereby promises to pay on the Scheduled Series 1997-1 Termination
Date, to the order of at the office of [ ] located at [ ], in lawful money of
the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of this Note.
The undersigned further agrees to pay interest in like money at such
office on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time at the applicable
rate per annum as specified in the Indenture (as defined below) until any such
amount shall become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), and thereafter on such overdue amount at the rate
per annum set forth in the Indenture until paid in full.
This evidences that (the "Noteholder") is the holder of this Note
secured by the assets of the Trust, which include a portfolio of leases (the
"Leases"), the related Equipment, all monies due or to become due with respect
thereto, and the other assets and interest constituting the Trust Assets as
defined in the AFG Master Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Indenture of
Trust, dated as of July 1, 1995, as supplemented by the Series 1997-1
Supplemental Indenture thereto (collectively, the "Indenture"), by and among,
American Finance Group, Inc. ("AFG"), AFG Credit Corporation, and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee and as collateral trustee.
THIS NOTE IS AN OBLIGATION OF THE TRUST AND DOES NOT REPRESENT AN
OBLIGATION OF, OR AN INTEREST IN, AFG, THE TRUSTEE OR THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE.
NONE OF THIS NOTE, THE LEASES, THE RELATED EQUIPMENT OR THE OTHER TRUST ASSETS
IS INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THIS NOTE
IS LIMITED IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT SOLELY TO CERTAIN COLLECTIONS RESPECTING THE
LEASES AND TO THE OTHER TRUST ASSETS, ALL AS MORE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THE
INDENTURE WITHOUT RECOURSE TO ANY OTHER ASSETS OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, AFG CREDIT CORPORATION.
AFG Credit Corporation has structured the Indenture and the Series
1997-1 Notes with the intention that the Series 1997-1 Notes will qualify under
applicable tax law as indebtedness, and each Series 1997-1 Noteholder by
acceptance of its Series 1997-1 Note agrees to treat and to take no action
inconsistent with the treatment of the Series 1997-1 Notes for purposes of
federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on
or measured by income, as indebtedness.
To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings assigned in the Indenture, which more specifically sets forth the
rights of the Noteholders. This Note is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, and the terms set forth
herein are qualified thereby. The Noteholder by virtue of its acceptance hereof
assents to and is bound by the Indenture, as amended from time to time.
This Note is one of a series of Notes entitled "AFG Master Trust Series
1997-1 Notes" (the "Series 1997-1 Notes") which represents the right to receive
interest payments and a return of principal as described herein and in the
Indenture, including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts at
the times and in the amounts specified in the Indenture to be deposited in the
Series Accounts maintained for the benefit of such Notes or paid to the Series
1997-1 Noteholders.
Series 1997-1 Note Interest will be distributed monthly on the
fifteenth Business Day of each calendar month, or if such fifteenth day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a "Distribution Date"). In the
case of the first interest payment, interest will accrue from the date of
issuance and in the case of subsequent interest payments, interest will accrue
from the preceding Distribution Date in each case to but excluding the date of
payment thereof (an "Accrual Period"). On each Distribution Date, the Paying
Agent shall pay to the Noteholder of record its pro rata share of the amount
deposited into the Distribution Account pursuant to the Indenture on the related
Transfer Date. On each Distribution Date occurring during the Amortization
Period, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Noteholder its pro rata share of the
Percentage of the Target Repayment Amount for Series 1997-1 for such
Distribution Date.
The Deal Agent is authorized to endorse on Schedule I attached to this
Note all increases and decreases in the principal amount of this Note, and all
payments made on account of the principal amount thereof, which endorsements
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding
balance hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to make
any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
undersigned under the Indenture or this Note.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Transferor, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in
connection herewith, against: (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in its
individual capacity; (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Transferor;
or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or
agent of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in their individual capacities,
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Transferor, the Trustee or the
Collateral Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Trustee or the
Collateral Trustee in their individual capacities (or any of their successors or
assigns), except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacities) and except that any such partner, owner or
beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for
any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the transfer of this Note
shall be registered in the Register upon surrender of this Note for registration
of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and
Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the
Noteholder or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, and
any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them
shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances
described in the Indenture.
The rights evidenced by this Note created by the Indenture and the
Trust shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the day, if any, designated by AFG
Credit Corporation after the Distribution Date following the date on which funds
shall have been deposited in the Distribution Account sufficient to pay the
aggregate Principal Amount plus Series 1997-1 Note Interest accrued through such
Distribution Date in full and (ii) the day on which final payment is made under
the Notes, but in no event later than the Scheduled Series 1997-1 Termination
Date.
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the Pay Out Events specified
in the Indenture all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or
may be declared to be, immediately due and payable all as provided therein.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SUCH
LAWS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
TRUSTEE SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
Unless the note of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
signatory, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture,
or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust has caused this
Note to be duly executed.
