 The foregoing
Grant is made in trust to secure the payment of principal of, and interest on, and any other amounts owing in respect of the Notes of a class equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction, and among the class of Notes in accordance

 The foregoing Grant includes all rights, powers and options (but none of the
obligations, if any) of the Issuer under any agreement or instrument included in the Trust Estate, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for payments in respect of the Equipment Loans and the

 The Indenture Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Beneficiaries, acknowledges such Grant, and accepts the trusts under this
Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 The pledge of the Trust Estate by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, an assumption by the Indenture Trustee or any Beneficiary of any obligation of the Issuer, the Servicer, Owner

initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Trust Estate (including any such financing statements and amendments thereto that identify the Trust Estate as including all assets of the Issuer), regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Trust Estate falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and (b) provide any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or
amendment. The Issuer agrees to furnish any such information to the Indenture Trustee promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request. The Issuer also ratifies its authorization for the Indenture Trustee, to have filed in any Uniform Commercial
Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to file any financing statement or continuation statement unless it is directed to do so

Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture

of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 (d) Any
duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement for any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Note shall be found at any time or be enforced by any Person, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

deposit in the Loan Collection Account or the Receivables Collection Account, as the case may be, in accordance with the priority of payment provisions of Section 8.2 hereof. Each such interest payment shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Note is registered in the Note Register on the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Noteholders. 
  
 (b) [Reserved] 
  
 (c) The principal of each class of Notes shall be due and payable in full on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and, to the extent of funds available
therefor, due and payable in installments on the Distribution Dates (if any) and/or Business Days preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.2(c), (d), (e) and (f), as

 (d) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If
at any time the interest rate charged with respect to the Notes exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Indenture and such Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law, but any subsequent reductions in the Alternative Rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Note equals the amount

provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law had at all times been in effect, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Noteholders an amount equal to the difference
between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by applicable law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all
times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Indenture.

 (12) The Loan Collection Account, the Receivables Collection Account and the Reserve Account are not in the name of any Person other than
the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to The Bank of New York (as the securities intermediary of any Loan Collection Account, the Receivables Collection Account and the Reserve Account) to comply with entitlement orders of any Person
other than the Indenture Trustee.

otherwise arising out of or based on the arrangements created by this Indenture to the extent not paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and solely to the extent that funds are available for such purpose

instructions from the Servicer, in accordance with the Servicer’s Certificate (or if a Servicer’s Certificate is not provided, in accordance with instructions from the Control Party), submit to each Letter of Credit Bank a completed
Drawing Certificate in an amount equal to (x) the shortfall computed under Section 8.2(h) of this Indenture or (y) the remaining Available Drawing Amount in the case of an Event of Default (such draw, a “Letter of Credit Drawing”);
provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of any Letter of Credit Drawing exceed the Available Drawing Amount under such Letter of Credit. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer and the Control Party on the
date on which it makes a Letter of Credit Drawing. 
  
 (c) The
Indenture Trustee shall receive Letter of Credit Drawings as attorney-in-fact of each of the Beneficiaries and upon receipt thereof shall, subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, immediately deposit such Letter of Credit Drawings into the Loan
Collection Account or the Receivables Collection Account to pay principal and interest on the Notes at the times and in the amounts specified in Section 8.2(h) hereof. The making of a Letter of Credit Drawing does not relieve the Issuer of any
obligation under any Note, this Indenture or any other Basic Document. 
  
 (d) If at any time while the Notes are Outstanding a Letter of Credit Bank shall not be an Eligible Bank, the Issuer shall (unless the Control Party shall otherwise consent) 

  

 -24- 








 
within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which the Letter of Credit Bank ceased to be an Eligible Bank, replace the then existing Letter of Credit with a
substitute Eligible Letter of Credit. If the Issuer shall fail to deliver a replacement Eligible Letter of Credit within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Servicer or the
Control Party, submit to the then existing Letter of Credit Bank a completed Drawing Certificate for the remaining Available Drawing Amount under such Letter of Credit. Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee as the result of any such drawing
shall be deposited into the Reserve Account, and disbursed for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(h) hereof. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a replacement Eligible Letter of
Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.27(d), the Indenture Trustee shall surrender the original of the replaced Letter of Credit to the issuer thereof, upon written request of the Servicer or the Control Party. 
  
 (e) If at any time while the Notes are Outstanding the issuer of an Eligible
Letter of Credit shall have provided notice to the Indenture Trustee that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed upon the expiration thereof, then the Indenture Trustee shall provide prompt written notice of same to the Control Party and
the Issuer shall (unless the Control Party shall otherwise consent) not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Letter of Credit shall expire, replace the then existing Letter Credit with a substitute Eligible Letter of
Credit. If the Issuer shall fail to deliver a substitute Eligible Letter of Credit within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Servicer or the Control Party, submit to the
then existing Letter of Credit Bank a completed Drawing Certificate for the remaining Available Drawing Amount under such Letter of Credit. Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee as the result of any such drawing shall be deposited into the
Reserve Account, and disbursed for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(h) hereof. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a replacement Eligible Letter of Credit in accordance with the

 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, following the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event, if (x) as of any Determination Date, any anticipated payment of the Notes on the related Distribution Date will cause the Available Drawing Amount to be greater than or equal to the
Recourse Limit at such time, or (y) the Servicer at any time provides notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Control Party that the Servicer anticipates that the Available Drawing Amount will in the foreseeable future be greater than or equal to
the Recourse Limit, then (i) the Indenture Trustee shall, within one Business Day following such Determination Date (as to clause (x) above) or the date of such notice (as to clause (y) above) (in either case, the “LC Recourse Draw
Determination Date”) submit to each Letter of Credit Bank a completed Drawing Certificate (unless the Control Party shall have provided the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer with a written notice instructing the Indenture Trustee to not make
such draw), in an amount equal to the greater of (I) the sum of (a) the amount by which the Available Drawing Amount (as calculated without giving effect to any such draw or any reduction in the Available Drawing Amount pursuant to clause (ii)
below) is expected to exceed the Recourse Limit as of the LC Recourse Draw Determination Date, and (b) $500,000 and (II) the amount specified by the Servicer in the notice delivered pursuant to clause (y) above (or, if such amount is greater than
the Available Drawing Amount at such time, the 

  

 -25- 








 
entire Available Drawing Amount); provided, that, if the Servicer delivering such notice pursuant to clause (y) above is not ALS, ALS shall have the
right to approve the amount set forth in such notice, and (ii) the Available Drawing Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the drawing made pursuant to clause (i) above, effective immediately following the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of the
proceeds of such drawing. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer, ALS (if ALS is not the Servicer) and the Control Party on the date on which it makes a Letter of Credit Drawing pursuant to this Section 3.27(f). Any amounts received by the
Indenture Trustee as the result of any such drawing shall be deposited into the Loan Collection Account and the Receivables Collection Account, as allocated between such accounts in accordance with Section 8.7 hereof, and shall be distributed on the
following Distribution Date to the Noteholders first in respect of interest on the Notes to the extent of any shortfalls thereon after giving effect to all allocations under Section 8.2 on such Distribution Date, and second as a
payment of principal on the Notes, without regard to the priority of payments set forth in Section 8.2 hereof, in each case pro rata, to the Equipment Loan Notes and the Receivables Notes. The Servicer shall provide prompt notice to the Indenture
Trustee and the Control Party if it has knowledge that the Available Drawing Amount is on any date, or is on any date expected to be, greater than or equal to the Recourse Limit at such time. 
  
 SECTION 3.28 Non Consolidation of Issuer.

Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer

the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer in accordance with their respective outstanding principal amounts or other amounts owed, whether at the Final Scheduled Distribution Date or otherwise, the entire amount then due and payable on the
Notes for principal and interest, with interest through the date of such payment on the overdue principal amount of each class of Notes, at the rate applicable to such class of Notes, all sums paid or advanced by or otherwise owed to the Insurer,
together with interest, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the

to be payable. 
  
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Indenture Trustee, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4 shall (at the direction of the Control Party) or may (with the consent of the Control Party) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders
and the Insurer, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Control Party deems most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by applicable law.

Proceeding is hereby authorized by the Insurer and each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Insurer or such Noteholders, to pay to the
Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result of gross negligence or bad faith.

any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 
  
 (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee, the Insurer and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the Noteholders and
the Insurer in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

 SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

 (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law or elect to have the Issuer maintain
possession of the Loans and Receivables and continue to apply collections on such Loans and the Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, unless (A) the Control Party and the Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes which are not Affiliates of the Issuer consent thereto or

request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

 (iv) the Indenture Trustee fails to institute such Proceedings for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; 
  
 (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such
60-day period by any member of the Control Party; and 
  
 (vi) such Person is the Control Party or is a member of the Control Party; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no Holder or Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Insurer or

instituted. 
  
 SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and 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 or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such

shall have been obtained, in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the
Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  

 -36-

been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising from such Default shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture and for purposes of Section 8.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall
be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to: 
  
 (a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee or Control Party;

insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension of law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may adversely affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture. The Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee or the Control Party, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s and the Control Party’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under
this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the
Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property so collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

 (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture or the
Insurer, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or
in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

writing. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to reimburse the Indenture
Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and

and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Issuer’s obligations to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of any Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended 

  

 -42- 








 
to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law. 
  
 SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

  
 (a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its
intent to resign by so notifying the Issuer and the Control Party; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective and the Indenture Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The
Control Party may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c). The Issuer shall (at the
direction of the Control Party) or may (with the consent of the Control Party) remove the Indenture Trustee if:

 (ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
  
 (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Indenture Trustee or its property; or

the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 (b) If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring
Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint and designate a successor Indenture Trustee, which shall be acceptable to the Control Party. If the Issuer fails to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee within 30 days, the Control Party may
designate a successor Indenture Trustee which the Issuer shall appoint. 
  
 (c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment and designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Control Party and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture
Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders, the
Insurer and to each of the Rating Agencies. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice
of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Control Party at the expense of the Issuer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor Indenture Trustee
provided that any successor Indenture Trustee shall be acceptable to the Control Party. 
  
 (e) If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder or the Control Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee provided that, any successor Indenture Trustee shall be acceptable to the Control Party. 
  

 -43- 








 (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.7 and the Servicer’s corresponding obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (g) The Issuer shall (at the direction of the Control Party) or may (with the
consent of the Control Party) remove the Indenture Trustee for (i) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) failure or unwillingness to perform its duties under the Indenture. 
  
 (h) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as
provided in this Section 6.8, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to the Beneficiaries (with a copy to the Noteholders). If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by such successor Indenture Trustee, then the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer. 
  
 SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee. 
  

(a) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Indenture,
anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. Following such merger or consolidation, the successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of such merger or consolidation to each of the Rating Agencies and the Control Party (with a copy
to the Noteholders). 
  
 (b) If at the time such successor or
successors by merger or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either
in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or herein with respect to the
certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Estate or any Equipment may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to and shall (at the direction of the Control Party) and may (with the consent of the Control Party not to be unreasonably withheld)
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more 

  

 -44- 








 
Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Registered Owners, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee or the Control Party may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8. The appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Indenture
Trustee of any of its obligations hereunder. 
  
 (b) Every
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 Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate 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 Indenture Trustee;

  
 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 
  
 (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 
  
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture 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 Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture,
specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture 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 Indenture 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 

  

 -45- 








 
Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
  
 SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification.

Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Notes shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein the successor Indenture Trustee shall accept
such appointment and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Note. Upon execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein.

corporate charter or by-laws of the Indenture Trustee or (iii) to the best of its knowledge without independent investigation, shall not violate any provision of, or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Trust Estate pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien could
reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its duties under this Indenture or on the transactions contemplated in this Indenture; 
  

 -46- 








 (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture and any other

authority or agency regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee; and 
  
 (e) this Indenture and any other Basic Document to which the Indenture Trustee is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee
and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

name as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Insurer, the Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Registered Owners in respect of which such judgment has been obtained. 
  
 SECTION 6.15 Suit for Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall (at the direction of the
Control Party) or may (with the consent of the Control Party) in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the Control Party under this Indenture by a
Proceeding whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the
Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders.

interest to secure the Outstanding Obligations for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, the Control Party shall have the sole right to (i) direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee and (ii) direct all actions or exercise rights or remedies under this Indenture, the Basic Documents or the UCC and, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture,
each Noteholder acknowledges such statement; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability or be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Noteholders not parties to such direction; and provided, further, that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Indenture Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee and
which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Control Party.

 SECTION 6.17 Ambac Policy. If a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee at any time has
actual knowledge that there will not be sufficient available moneys in the Lockbox Accounts, Loan Collection Account, the Receivables Collection Account (after giving effect to application of all funds on deposit in the Reserve Account and all
proceeds of Letter of Credit Drawings) to make (i) any required payment of principal on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Notes or (ii) interest to the Noteholders on any Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall immediately notify
the Insurer or its designee by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile transmission, of the amount of such deficiency. 
  
 On each Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall determine from the related Servicer’s Certificate with respect to the immediately following
Distribution Date the Insured Amount, if any. If the Indenture Trustee determines that an Insured Amount would exist, the Indenture Trustee shall complete a notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Ambac Policy and submit such notice to the Insurer no
later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding such Distribution Date as a claim
for payment in an amount equal to the Insured Amount. Upon receipt of any Insured Payment from the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit such amount into the Loan Collection Account or Receivables Collection Account, as the case may be, for
distribution to the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all Ambac Policy proceeds deposited into the Loan Collection Account or Receivables Collection Account, as the case may be, and the allocation of
such funds to payment of interest on and principal paid in respect of any Note. 
  
 In addition, if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge through a written notice that any of the Noteholders have been required to disgorge payments of principal or interest on the Note
pursuant to a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment constitutes a voidable preference to such Holders within the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy laws and in accordance with the Ambac Policy, then the Indenture
Trustee shall notify the Insurer or its designees of such fact in accordance with the Ambac Policy, shall comply with the provisions of the Ambac Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment. Such notice shall be in addition to
the procedures set forth in the Ambac Policy for making a claim under the Ambac Policy. 
  
 To the extent that the Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the Notes, the Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive
distributions of principal and interest in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee alone shall be entitled to enforce, on behalf of the Noteholders, the obligations of the Insurer under the
Ambac Policy. 
  
 The parties hereto, and the Noteholders, by
virtue of purchasing the Notes, grant to the Insurer, for so long as it is the Control Party, exclusive exercise of any right to vote or consent, or the like available to the Noteholders hereunder, except for rights given to the Noteholders under
clauses (i), (iv) and (v) to the proviso to Section 9.2(a). 
  

 -48- 








 The Indenture Trustee shall surrender the Ambac Policy to the Insurer for cancellation upon the
expiration or cancellation of the Ambac Policy in accordance with the terms thereof or upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4.1(a) other than termination and return of the Ambac Policy.

accordance with Section 8.7 hereof.

instructs the Indenture Trustee to make any payments owing to the Issuer directly to the Registered Owners of the Issuer unless and until the Indenture Trustee has received further instructions from the Paying Agent of the Issuer.

Outstanding and all sums due to the Insurer under the Indenture, the Insurance Agreement and the Ambac Policy, and to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid, and the Ambac Policy has been canceled, notify the Issuer and the

 (i) change the due date of any installment of principal of
or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest rate applicable thereto (including by any amendment which affects the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any

affected (such that the consent of each Noteholder would be required) by any amendment proposed pursuant to this Section 9.2 and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Noteholders, whether authenticated and delivered
thereunder before or after the date upon which such amendment becomes effective. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note outstanding affected (which only may be waived by the Holders of all Notes outstanding affected). 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have
been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 9.3 Execution of Amendments or Waivers. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any

that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such
application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to
the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s or the Control Party’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any
such document as provided in Article VI.

Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Person or Persons signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the

action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
  
 (c) In case, by
reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of
this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.

capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture secures the payment of principal and interest on, and any other
amounts owing in respect of the Notes, equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction. 
  
 Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities,
(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner 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.

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither ALER, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities,
any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the
payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event
of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and

 (1) The Buyer is a “qualified purchaser” (as such term is defined in Section 2(A)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940).

  
 (2) CHECK ONE OF A or B 
  
  ̈ A. The transaction is to a Buyer who is an institutional investor and an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3), (7) or (8) (all of the equity investors of which are accredited
investors specified in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”)). The Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Note, and the Buyer and any accounts for which it is acting is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Note for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer is acquiring the
Note for investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in connection with, a public distribution. 
  
  ̈ B. The transaction meets the requirements of

Sky” laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Buyer will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any subsequent purchaser of such Note from it of the resale restrictions referred to in Section 2.12 of the
Indenture. The Buyer is acquiring the Note for its own account, and the Buyer is not acquiring the Note with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution of the Note under the Securities Act, but subject, nevertheless, to
any requirement of law that the dispositions of its property shall at all times be within its control. 
  
 (4) The Notes will bear a legend to the effect set forth in clause (9) below. 
  
 (5) If it is acquiring any notes as a fiduciary or agent for
one or more investor accounts, the Buyer has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained herein on behalf of such account. 

 
 (6) It represents, warrants and covenants that either (1)
it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of an “employee benefit plan” subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a “plan” described in section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or a governmental plan
subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code or (2) the acquisition and holding of the Note by the purchaser or transferee, throughout the period that it
holds the Note, will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan, any substantially similar applicable law). 
  
 (7) Unless the transfer occurs between Members of the same
Purchaser Group, the Buyer acknowledges that the Indenture Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Note acquired by it, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee
that the restrictions set forth in Article 7 of the Note Purchase Agreement and Section 2.12 of the Indenture have been complied with. 
  
 (8) The purchaser acknowledges that the Seller, the Transferor and the Issuer will rely on the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgments,
representations and agreements set forth herein.

EXEMPTION UNDER THE 1933 ACT, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS. 
  

BY ACQUIRING THIS NOTE EACH PURCHASER AND TRANSFEREE WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT, WARRANT AND COVENANT THAT EITHER (1) IT IS NOT ACQUIRING THIS NOTE
WITH THE ASSETS OF AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” SUBJECT TO THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), A “PLAN” DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS
