            security interest in the Second-Tier Assets and the performance by the Seller of the obligation by the Seller to pay to the Purchaser all amounts received with respect to the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note, and in such event, this Agreement will

            jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its activities requires such qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain such qualifications, licenses or approvals would not reasonably be
            expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

       

        

      (c)          Power and Authority; Authorization; Execution and Delivery; Binding Obligation.  The Purchaser has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under

      (f)          No Material Default.  The Purchaser is not in material default under any agreement, contract, instrument, or indenture of any nature whatsoever to which it is bound, which
            default would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

            agreement or similar agreement or instrument under which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Seller’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such
            agreement or instrument (other than Permitted Liens or Liens contemplated by the 20[__]-[_] Basic Documents), (iii) violate the certificate of formation of the Seller or the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Seller or (iv) violate or
            contravene any law or, to the Seller’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties, the failure to comply with which would reasonably be
            expected to have a material adverse effect on the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

       

        

      (e)          No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings pending, or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, and to the Seller’s knowledge there are no investigations pending or threatened,

      (f)          Ownership and Transfer of 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note.  Immediately preceding its sale of the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note to the Purchaser, the Seller was the owner of the 20[__]-[_]
            Exchange Note, free and clear of any claim, and after such sale of the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of a holder of the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note under the Basic
            Collateral Agency Agreement and the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note Supplement.

       

        

      (g)          No Material Default.  The Seller is not in material default under any agreement, contract, instrument, or indenture of any nature whatsoever to which it is bound, which default
            would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

       

        

      (h)          No Consent.  No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required under federal or State law for the execution, delivery, and
            performance by the Seller, or compliance by it with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if required has been obtained or can be obtained prior to the execution of this Agreement.

      

      

      (i)          Ability to Perform.  The Seller does not have any reason or cause to believe that it cannot perform each and every covenant of such party contained in this Agreement.

            solvent and the transfer of the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note pursuant hereto is not being made with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the creditors of the Seller or any affiliate thereof.  The Seller is receiving from the Purchaser reasonably
            equivalent value in exchange for the transfer of 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note.

      

      

      (k)          Perfection Representations.  The Seller makes the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit A.

            debtor, and the Purchaser, as secured party, in such manner as is necessary, under the laws of each such jurisdiction, to perfect the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Second-Tier Assets to the Purchaser (to the extent that such
            sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance may be perfected by such filing).  The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any such document filed promptly upon such document becoming available

            authorizes the Purchaser to file any financing or continuation statements, and amendments to such statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable
            fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Second-Tier Assets and the proceeds thereof.  Such financing and continuation statements may describe the Second-Tier Assets in any manner as the Purchaser may
            determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the Purchaser’s interest in the Second-Tier Assets.  The Purchaser will deliver to the Seller file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
            such document filed promptly upon such document becoming available following such filing.

            Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller will defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the Second-Tier Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.  However, the Seller’s

      Section 5.03.  Indemnification.  The Seller will be liable under this

      (a)          The
            Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of, or imposed upon the
            Purchaser through, the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of the Seller’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.

       

        

      (b)          Promptly
            upon receipt by the Purchaser, or any of its officers, directors, employees and agents, of notice of the commencement of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation against it, the Purchaser will, if a claim in respect of
            such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation is to be made against the Seller under this Section, notify the Seller of the commencement of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation.  The Seller may participate in and assume
            the defense and settlement of any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation at its expense, and no settlement of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation may be made without the approval of the Seller and the Purchaser,
            which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Seller’s obligations under this Section will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  After notice from the Seller to the Purchaser of the
            Seller’s intention to assume the defense of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, and so long as the Seller so assumes the defense of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or
            investigation in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Seller will not be liable for any expenses of counsel to the Purchaser unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser, in which case the
            Seller will pay for the separate counsel to the Purchaser.

      (c)          If
            the Seller makes any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Purchaser thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the Purchaser will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest.

       

          

      (d)         The
            indemnity obligations set forth in Section 5.03(a) will be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

            Purchaser agree that any claim that the Seller or the Purchaser may seek to enforce at any time against any assets of the Seller or the Purchaser other than the Second-Tier Assets will be subordinate to the payment in full of all other claims
            with respect to such other assets.  However, this Section will not limit, subordinate or otherwise modify any claims against the Seller or the Purchaser with respect to any right to indemnification, commitment to repurchase or other obligation

            certificate registrar, owner trustee or indenture trustee).

       

        

      (b)          The Seller agrees
            that any claim that the Seller may seek to enforce against the Purchaser or any of its assets will be subordinate to the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes.

       

        

      (c)          The parties to this
            Agreement intend that this Section constitutes an enforceable subordination agreement under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

      In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Second-Tier Sale Agreement, dated as of [_______ _], 20[__]

            	1.	
              The Second-Tier Sale Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note in favor of the Purchaser, which
                security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

            


       

      

      	

            	2.	
              The 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note constitutes a “general intangible”, “instrument,” “certificated security”, or “tangible chattel paper”, within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a Lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during
                the pendency of such proceeding.

            	5.	
              The Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security
                or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Purchaser of its interest and rights in the 20[__]-[_] Exchange Note under the Second-Tier Sale Agreement.

                Agreement.

                      copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Purchaser.

                conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.
