THE NOTES



     SECTION 2.1 Form. The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the
Class A-4 Notes, in each case together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, respectively, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such
legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers
executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any
Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of
the Note.



     Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in
Exhibit A hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.



     SECTION 2.2 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of
the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the
Notes may be manual or facsimile.



     Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized
Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Notes.



     The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for
original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $366,000,000, Class A-2 Notes for original issue
in an aggregate principal amount of $287,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an
aggregate principal amount of $268,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate
principal amount of $79,000,000. The Note Balance of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3
Notes and Class A-4 Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amounts except as provided in
Section 2.5.



     Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as
registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof (except for one Note of each Class which may be issued in a denomination other than
an integral multiple of $1,000).



     No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its





2010-1 Indenture



3









 




authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.




     SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may
execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced,
of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not
inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.



     If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be
exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of
the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the
Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
Definitive Notes.



     SECTION 2.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a
register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers
of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume
the duties of Note Registrar.



     If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the
Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note
Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to
obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a
certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by a Responsible Officer thereof as to the
names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is acting
as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall also act as the Note Registrar.



     (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the
Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of
the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of
the same Class and a like aggregate outstanding principal amount.





2010-1 Indenture

     At the option of the related Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any
authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like Note Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to
be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the
requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request,
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the related Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture
Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.



     (c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the
valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.



     (d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i)
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible grantor
institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership
or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“Stamp”) or such
other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or
in substitution for, Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied by such
other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, including but not limited to the applicable
IRS Form W-8 or W-9.



     (e) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 9.6 not involving
any transfer.



     The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to
make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for
redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with
respect to such Note.



     By acquiring a Note, each purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note with any plan assets of a Benefit Plan or any
governmental plan, non-U.S. plan or church plan or any other employee benefit plan or retirement
arrangement that is subject to Similar Law; or (b) (i) such Note is rated at least “BBB-“ or its
equivalent by a Rating Agency at the time of purchase or transfer and (ii) the acquisition, holding
and disposition of such Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a nonexempt violation of any Similar Law.



     The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by,





2010-1 Indenture



5









 




and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine
the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.




     Any Notes retained by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer
for United States federal income tax purposes may not be transferred to another Person unless the
Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee at such time that such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes.
In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such Notes (e.g., if the
Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in
definitive registered form may be required by the Administrator as a condition to such transfer.



     SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the 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 Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated by
Article 8 of the UCC), and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note; provided that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called
for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may upon delivery of the security
or indemnity herein required pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon
the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or
payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a
“protected purchaser” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of
which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the
Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom
such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a “protected purchaser”
(as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC), and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.



     Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.5, the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected
therewith.



     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.





2010-1 Indenture

     The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.



     SECTION 2.6 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the
owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on
such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) Each of the Notes
shall accrue interest at its respective Interest Rate, and such interest shall be due and payable
on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Sections 3.1 and 8.2. Any
installment of interest or principal, if any, due and payable on any Note which is punctually paid
or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check
mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on
such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section
2.12, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final
installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final
Scheduled Payment Date for such Class (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for
redemption pursuant to Section 10.1) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds
represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section
3.3.



     (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as
provided in Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Note Balance and
all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earlier of
(i) the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, if the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 and (ii) with respect to
any Class of Notes, on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for that Class. All principal payments on
each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Indenture Trustee expects that the
final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be
transmitted prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such
Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with
redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.





2010-1 Indenture

     (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on any Class of Notes, the Issuer shall
pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful at the
applicable Interest Rate for such Class of Notes), which shall be due and payable on the Payment
Date following such default. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are
Noteholders on the Record Date for such following Payment Date.



     SECTION 2.8 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer,
exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The
Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the
time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it;
provided that such Issuer Order is timely and that such Notes have not been previously disposed of
by the Indenture Trustee.



     SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.1, the Indenture Trustee
shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, and, unless the Notes have been
redeemed in accordance with Section 10.1, Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA
Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to
the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates. If the Commission
shall issue an exemptive order under TIA Section 304(d) modifying the Issuer’s obligations under
TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1), subject to Section 11.1 and the terms of the Transaction
Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture in
accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in such exemptive order.



     SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form
of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee,
as agent for DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. One fully
registered Book-Entry Note shall be issued with respect to each $500 million in the aggregate
principal amount of each Class of Notes and any such lesser amount. Such Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing
Agency, and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest
in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12:



     (a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;



     (b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing
Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on
the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Noteholders, and
shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;





2010-1 Indenture



8









 





     (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of
this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;



     (d) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between or among such Note Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued
pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among
the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on
the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and



     (e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions
or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balance, the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received
instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting
through Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage
of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture
Trustee.



     SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the
Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been
issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency,
and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.



     SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (a) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in
writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or
(c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests
aggregating at least a majority of the Note Balance, voting together as a single Class, advise the
Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency or its successor in writing that the continuation of
a book entry system through the Clearing Agency or its successor is no longer in the best interests
of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions,
the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance
of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as
Noteholders.





2010-1 Indenture

     The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by
any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.



     SECTION 2.13 Authenticating Agents. (a) Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or
more Persons (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject
to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and
exchanges under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as
fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly
authorized by those Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the
authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be
the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the
Authenticating Agent in the absence of any appointment thereof.



     (b) Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or
conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the
successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further
act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.



     (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation
to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the
agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating
Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, the
Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of any
such appointment to the Issuer.



     (d) The provisions of Section 6.4 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.



     SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their
mutual intent that the Notes constitute and be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal and all
applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes (other than any Notes that are owned
during any period of time either by a Person who concurrently owns 100% of the Residual Interest or
by a Person who is considered to be the same Person who then owns 100% of the Residual Interest,
all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Further, each party hereto, and each
Noteholder by accepting and holding a Note (other than any Noteholder who concurrently owns 100% of
the Residual Interest or who is considered to be the same Person who then owns 100% of the Residual
Interest, all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), hereby covenants to every other
party hereto and to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal and
all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and
returns and otherwise, and further covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take,
or participate in the taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with such
tax treatment and tax reporting of the Notes, unless





2010-1 Indenture



10









 




required by applicable law. All successors and assignees of the parties hereto shall be bound
by the provisions hereof.




     (b) The parties hereto agree that it is their mutual intent that, for all applicable purposes
the Residual Interest will not constitute indebtedness.



ARTICLE III




COVENANTS



     SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this
Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 8.2, on each Payment Date
the Issuer shall cause to be paid all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account which represent
Available Funds for such Payment Date in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts
properly withheld under the Internal Revenue Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of
interest and/or principal shall be considered to have been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder
for all purposes of this Indenture. Interest accrued on the Notes shall be due and payable on each
Payment Date. The final interest payment on each Class of Notes is due on the earlier of (a) the
Payment Date (including any Redemption Date) on which the principal amount of that Class of Notes
is reduced to zero or (b) the applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date for that Class of Notes.



     SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. As long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding,
the Issuer shall maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially
appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer shall
give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the
location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer
hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and
demands.



     SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 5.4 and
8.2, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made
from amounts withdrawn from the Trust Accounts shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn therefrom for payments on
the Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section and Section
4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



     On or prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited into the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming
due under the Notes and to other Persons entitled to payment on each Payment Date, and the Paying
Agent shall hold such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (unless the Paying Agent is the





2010-1 Indenture



11









 




Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its action or
failure so to act.




     The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees to the
extent relevant), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:




     (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons
as provided in the Transaction Documents;




     (ii) give the Indenture Trustee written notice of any default by the Issuer (or any
other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment
required to be made with respect to the Notes;




     (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request
of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust
by such Paying Agent;




     (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee
all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the
standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and




     (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any
payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and
with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is acting
as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall also act as the Paying Agent.



     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying
Agent; and upon such a payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.



     Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the
Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to
any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall
be discharged from such trust and distributed by the Indenture Trustee to the Issuer on Issuer
Request and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only
to the Issuer for payment thereof and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the





2010-1 Indenture



12









 




Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the reasonable expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized
Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining shall be paid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and
employ, at the written direction of and at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to
Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to
or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Noteholder).




     SECTION 3.4 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any
successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the
United States of America, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral
and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.



     SECTION 3.5 Protection of Collateral. The Issuer intends the security interest Granted
pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to be
prior to all other Liens in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer shall take all actions
necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders, a first Lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral.
The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto
and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and
other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall take
such other action necessary or advisable to:



     (a) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral;



     (b) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) created by
this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;



     (c) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by
this Indenture;



     (d) enforce any of the Collateral; or



     (e) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders in the Collateral against the claims of all Persons.



     The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact and
hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file all financing statements, continuation statements
or other instruments required to be executed or filed (if any) pursuant to this Section;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to execute or
authorize such





2010-1 Indenture



13









 




instruments except upon written instruction from the Issuer or the Servicer. Notwithstanding
any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Issuer
shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy about any aspect
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.




     SECTION 3.6 Opinions as to Collateral. (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to
or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating (i) that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with
respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are
necessary to perfect and make effective the first priority lien and security interest of this
Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or (ii) that, in the opinion of such counsel, no
such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.



     (b) Within 120 days after the beginning of each calendar year, beginning with April 30, 2011,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other
requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and
continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this
Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no
such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel
shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any
indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of
any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the
following calendar year.



     SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. (a) The Issuer shall not
take any action and shall use its reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by
others, including the Administrator, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s
material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or
that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or
impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any
bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Transaction Documents or
such other instrument or agreement.



     (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under
this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee
in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer.

     SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of any one of the following
events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall constitute
a default under this Indenture (each, an “Event of Default”):



     (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and
payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five Business Days or more;



     (b) default in the payment of principal of any Note at the related Final Scheduled Payment
Date or Redemption Date;



     (c) any failure by the Issuer to duly observe or perform in any respect any of its
covenants or agreements made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in
the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), which
failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders, and such failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as
may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure; provided that such failure is capable of remedy
within 90 days) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer

notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder;



     (d) any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture proves to have been

2010-1 Indenture



19









 




registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders
evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance, a written notice specifying such failure and requiring
it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or




     (e) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer;


provided, however, that (A) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause
(a) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the five
Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (a) shall be extended for an
additional 60 calendar days, (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause
(b) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, such failure or
delay shall not constitute an Event of Default for an additional 60 calendar days, (C) if any delay
or failure of performance referred to in clause (c) above shall have been caused by force
majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (c)
shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days and (D) if any delay or failure of performance
referred to in clause (d) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar
occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (d) shall be extended for an
additional 60 calendar days.




     SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Event of Default. (a) Except as set forth
in the following sentence, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every
such case the Indenture Trustee may, or if directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a
majority Outstanding Note Balance, shall declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable,
by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and
upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all Notes, and all other amounts payable hereunder,
shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.



     (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter provided for in this Article V, the Noteholders representing a majority of the
Outstanding Note Balance, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:




     (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that
would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred, and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and




     (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes
that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 5.12.





2010-1 Indenture



20









 





     No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.



     If the Notes have been declared due and payable or have automatically become due and payable
following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may institute Proceedings to collect amounts
due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Collateral) or
elect to maintain the Collateral and continue to apply the proceeds from the Collateral as if there
had been no declaration of acceleration. Any sale of the Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will
be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4.



     SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note
when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business
Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the
principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee in writing as directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a majority
of the Outstanding Note Balance, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of
the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be
legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate 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 its agents and counsel.



     (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay the amounts described in clause
(a) above upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer
or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to
be payable.



     (c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may,
as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem 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 law.



     (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the
Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under
the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of
the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or





2010-1 Indenture



21









 




property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether
the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to
the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
Proceedings or otherwise:





     (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement
of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee
and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;




     (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the
Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar
functions in any such Proceedings;




     (iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the
Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and




     (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;


and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the
event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such
Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee except as a result
of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee
under Section 6.7.




     (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize
or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any
Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar person.





2010-1 Indenture



22









 





     (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 action or
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 Indenture Trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders, to the extent set forth
in Section 5.4(b).



     (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving
the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a
party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be
necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.



     SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Sections
5.2 and 5.5):




     (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the
collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect
thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect
from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;




     (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure
of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;




     (iii) exercise any other remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other
appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee
and the Noteholders; and




     (iv) subject to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the maturity of the
Notes pursuant to Section 5.2, sell the Collateral 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;


provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy described
in clause (iv) above following an Event of Default unless (A) the Holders of all Outstanding Notes
have consented to such liquidation, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to
pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes or (C) the Event of
Default relates to the failure to pay interest or principal when due and payable (a “Payment
Default”) and the Indenture Trustee determines (but shall have no obligation to make such
determination) that the Collections on the Receivables will not be sufficient on an ongoing basis
to make all payments on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared
due and payable and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of the
Outstanding Note Balance. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses
(B) and (C) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely
upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national








2010-1 Indenture



23









 







reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Event of Default
does not relate to a Payment Default or Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate unless the Holders of all Outstanding
Notes consent to such sale or the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal
of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes.




     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof or Section 4.4 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article V and the Notes have been accelerated, it shall pay out such money or
property (and other amounts, including all amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account) held as
Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders (net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of
the Trust Estate) in the following order of priority:




     (i) first, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid fees
(including any unpaid Indenture Trustee fees or Owner Trustee fees with respect to prior
periods) and any reasonable expenses (including indemnification amounts) not previously paid
by the Servicer;




     (ii) second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees with
respect to prior periods;




     (iii) third, to the Noteholders, the Accrued Note Interest; provided that if there are
not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Note Interest, the
amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Notes on
a pro rata basis based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Notes;




     (iv) fourth, in the following order or priority:




	 	•	 	to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have
been paid in full; and
	 
	 	•	 	to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Holders of the Class A-3
Notes and the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, pro rata, based on the Note
Balance of each Class of such Notes until all Classes of the Notes have
been paid in full;






     (v) fifth, any remaining funds shall be distributed to or at the direction of the
Residual Interestholder.



     The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders
pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each
Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the
amount to be paid.



     Prior to an acceleration of the Notes after an Event of Default, if the Indenture Trustee
collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, such amounts shall be deposited
into





2010-1 Indenture



24









 




the Collection Account and distributed in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 hereof.




     SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared or are
automatically due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such
declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, if permitted hereunder, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral and continue to
apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 5.4(b). It is the intent of the
parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such intent into
account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining
whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain
and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Collateral for such purpose.



     SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. (a) No Holder of any Note shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:




     (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default;




     (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Note Balance have made
written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such
Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture Trustee hereunder;




     (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
complying with such request;




     (iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and




     (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding
Note Balance.


No Noteholder or group of Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except, in each case, to the extent and
in the manner herein provided.




     In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and
indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the
Outstanding Note Balance, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action,
if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.





2010-1 Indenture



25









 





     (b) No Noteholder shall have any right to vote except as provided pursuant to this Indenture
and the Notes, nor any right in any manner to otherwise control the operation and management of the
Issuer. However, in connection with any action as to which Noteholders are entitled to vote or
consent under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer may set a record date for purposes of
determining the identity of Noteholders entitled to vote or consent in accordance with TIA Section
316(c).



     SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on
such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Noteholder.



     SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder
has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to
the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding
had been instituted.



     SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Indenture Trustee 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
or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by
law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.



     SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4,
5.6, 6.2(d) and 6.2(e), Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Note Balance, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or with
respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that





2010-1 Indenture



26









 






     (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture;




     (b) any such direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the
Collateral shall be subject to the terms of Section 5.4(a);




     (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and
the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section,
then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less
than 100% of the Note Balance to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no
force and effect;




     (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, applicable law and
the terms of this Indenture; and




     (e) such direction shall be in writing;


provided, further, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need
not take any action that it determines might expose it to personal liability or might materially
adversely affect or unduly prejudice the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.




     SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the
maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of Notes of not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Note Balance may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, (b)
in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Noteholder or (c) arising from a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer. In
the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.



     Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been
cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall
extend to any prior, 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 Noteholder
by such Noteholder’s acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, 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 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each





2010-1 Indenture



27









 




case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balance or (c) any suit instituted by
any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).




     SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will 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 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 or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee 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 collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance
with Section 5.4(b), if the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to
Section 5.2 of this Indenture, or Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and Section 8.2 of this Indenture, if the maturity of the Notes has not been accelerated.



     SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a) Promptly following a
request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance (i) by the Seller
and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (ii) by the Seller or Santander Consumer, as applicable,
of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, in each case, in
accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the
Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer
of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or Santander
Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement.



     (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at
the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding
Note Balance shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer
against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
against the Seller or Santander Consumer under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power
to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the





2010-1 Indenture



28









 




Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer of each of their obligations to the Issuer
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and any right of the
Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.




     SECTION 5.17 Sale of Collateral. If the Indenture Trustee acts to sell the Collateral or any
part thereof, pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Indenture Trustee shall publish a notice in
an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee intends to effect such a sale in a
commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the
solicitation of competitive bids. Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee shall, unless
otherwise prohibited by applicable law from any such action, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above to the highest bidder, provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement
made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Seller and
the Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be
permitted to bid for the Collateral at any such sale. The Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior
determination from a conservator, receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms
and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable. The power to effect any sale of any
portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 and this Section 5.17 shall not
be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but
shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable
on the Notes shall have been paid.



ARTICLE VI




THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE



     SECTION 6.1 Duties of the Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.



     (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default:




     (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it
is a party and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the
other Transaction Documents against the Indenture Trustee; and




     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; provided however, the Indenture Trustee
shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture.





2010-1 Indenture



29









 





     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:




     (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;




     (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee unless it is proved that the
Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and





     (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to
Section 5.11.



     (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is
subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).



     (e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except
as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.



     (f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.



     (g) No provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall require the
Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.



     (h) Every provision of this Indenture and each other Transaction Document relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.



     (i) The Indenture Trustee shall take all actions required to be taken by the Indenture
Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



     SECTION 6.2 Rights of the Indenture Trustee. (a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively
rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.



     (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.



     (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or





2010-1 Indenture



30









 




nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of, or for the supervision of, the Administrator, any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10, or any other such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.




     (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.



     (e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with
respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete
authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by
it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.



     (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this
Indenture or in relation to this Indenture or to honor the request or direction of any of the
Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the
reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it,
its agents and its counsel in compliance with such request or direction.



     SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section 310 of the TIA,
the Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and their
respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee, and
the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may maintain
normal commercial banking and investment banking relationships with the Indenture Trustee and its
Affiliates. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar, co-paying agent, co-trustee or
separate trustee may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with
Section 6.11.



     SECTION 6.4 The Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and 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, all of which shall be taken as the
statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.



     SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to
a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder
and the Rating Agencies notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after such
knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the





2010-1 Indenture



31









 







mandatory redemption
provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice
if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.



     SECTION 6.6 Reports by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, at the
expense of the Issuer, shall deliver to each Noteholder, not later than the latest date permitted
by law, such information as may be required by law to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and
state income tax returns.



     SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the
Sale and Servicing Agreement to, (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time such
compensation as the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for
services rendered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder in accordance with a fee letter between the
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
expenses, advances and disbursements reasonably incurred by it in connection with the performance
of its duties as Indenture Trustee and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it
harmless against, any and all loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust or
trusts hereunder or the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may
seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall
not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
None of the Administrator, the Issuer, the Seller, or the Servicer shall be liable for or required
to indemnify the Indenture Trustee from and against any of the foregoing expenses or indemnities
arising or resulting from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, (ii) the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 made by the
Indenture Trustee or (iii) taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees,
commissions or compensation received by the Indenture Trustee.



     The compensation and indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after
the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 5.1(e) with respect to the
Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.



     Any amounts payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.7 shall be paid by the Issuer in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b)  of this Indenture, as applicable.



     SECTION 6.8 Removal, Resignation and Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Administrator, the Servicer and each
Rating Agency. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance may remove the Indenture
Trustee without cause by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the





2010-1 Indenture



32









 







Issuer, and following that
removal may appoint a successor to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture
Trustee if:



     (a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;



     (b) a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee;



     (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its
property; or



     (d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.



     If the Indenture Trustee resigns 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 a successor Indenture Trustee.



     A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee
under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the successor
Indenture Trustee.



     If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders
of a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.



     If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.



     Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8
and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.



     Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section,
the Issuer’s and Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.



     The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture
Trustee.



     SECTION 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. Subject to Section 6.11, if the
Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all





2010-1 Indenture



33









 







its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Indenture Trustee, provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise
qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency
and the Administrator prior written notice of any such transaction.



     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion 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.



     SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. (a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, after delivering written
notice to the Administrator, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee and the
Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more 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, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part
hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator 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.



     (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 intended 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 Collateral 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 separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of
predecessor or successor trustees; and





2010-1 Indenture



34









 






     (iii) the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may at any time accept the
resignation of or, acting jointly, 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 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 and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

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
Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and
duties under this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee
shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
Section 311(b). Any Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the

related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Note Balance.



     (iii) Other than as contemplated by Section 11.1(b)(v), whenever any property or
securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing
such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or
securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed
release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions
hereof.



     (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in
clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other
property other than Purchased Receivables, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture
since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required
by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Note Balance,
but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if
the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or
less than one percent of the then Note Balance.



     (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer
may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and
to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and (B) make cash payments out of
the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents.



     SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to the Indenture Trustee. In any case where several
matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is
not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or
several documents.





2010-1 Indenture

     Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion
is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the
Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of
the Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous.



     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.



     Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the
Indenture Trustee, it is provided 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 right to rely upon the truth and accuracy
of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.



     SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture 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 Noteholders 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 Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.



     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.



     (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.



     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
by any Noteholder shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be





2010-1 Indenture



46









 







done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Note.



     SECTION 11.4 Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage
prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile, and addressed in each case as
specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the specified addresses in a written notice to the other parties
hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an
officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient
for notices hereunder.



     SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to
Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid or via electronic
transmission to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for
the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder
shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that
is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.



     Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the
Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.



     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 to 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.



     Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice
shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any
circumstance constitute a Default or an Event of Default.



     SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any
Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying
Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for
such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the
Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to
the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments
to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

     SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or
conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.



     The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the
provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a
part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.



     SECTION 11.8 Information Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any information

to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule,
regulation, accounting rule or principle.



     SECTION 11.9 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction

Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.



     SECTION 11.11 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



     SECTION 11.12 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder,
the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.



     SECTION 11.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall
not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue
for the period from and after any such nominal date.



     SECTION 11.14 GOVERNING LAW; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.



     (a) THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE
NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER

     SECTION 11.15 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts,

     SECTION 11.16 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any
appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its

against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities,
(ii) any Residual Interestholder or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii)

individual capacity) 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.



     SECTION 11.18 No Petition. Each of the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is

in respect of all securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties, (i) such party shall not
authorize any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or
other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such
Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee,

and (ii) none of the parties hereto shall commence, join or institute against, with any other
Person, any proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any

     (b) It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness of the Issuer for

50









 





     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such action or proceeding in any such
court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to

     SECTION 11.21 Subordination of Claims. The Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are
obligations solely of the Issuer and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent
that the Issuer does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance
of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity
and as the Owner Trustee), by accepting the benefits of this agreement, a Residual Interestholder,
by accepting the Residual Interest, and Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and as
Indenture Trustee), by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and each Note Owner, by
accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no
right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each of the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and any Certificateholder
either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to
have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law,
legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by
virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect
under the Bankruptcy Code), then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the
securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the
benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or
security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or
application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against
the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and
liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the
meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Indenture Trustee (in its individual
capacity and as the Indenture Trustee), by entering into or accepting this agreement, a
Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Owner Trustee and each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no
adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section and the terms of this Section may be
enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions





2010-1 Indenture



51









 







of this Section will be for the
third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this
Indenture.



     SECTION 11.22 Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. It is expressly understood and
agreed by and between the parties hereto that (i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee
under the Trust Agreement in the exercise of the power and authority conferred and vested in it as
such Owner Trustee, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements made herein by
the Issuer are not personal representations, undertakings and agreements of Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Delaware, but are binding only on the trust estate created
pursuant to the Trust Agreement, (iii) nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating
any liability on Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, individually or personally, to perform any
covenant of the Issuer either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any,
being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any person claiming by, through or under any
such party, and (iv) under no circumstances shall Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware be
personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expense of the Issuer or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the
Issuer under this Indenture.

SCHEDULE I




PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS




     In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the
Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Indenture Trustee as follows on the
Closing Date:



General



1. This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable
UCC) in the Receivables and the other Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security
interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Issuer.



2. The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “electronic chattel paper” or “tangible
chattel paper”), “accounts,” “instruments” or “general intangibles,” within the meaning of the UCC.



3. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator, as secured party, or all necessary
actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first
priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator,
as secured party.



4. Each Trust Account constitutes either a “deposit account” or a “securities account” within the
meaning of the UCC.




Creation



5. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller
to the Issuer, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear
of any Lien and immediately after the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable
to the Issuer, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of
any Lien.




Perfection



6. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this
Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the
Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and the Servicer has in its possession the
original copies of such instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the
Receivables, and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that:
“A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will
violate the rights of the Secured Party”.



7. With respect to Receivables that constitute instruments or tangible chattel paper, either:









2010-1 Indenture



I-1









 









(i) All original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have
been delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or




(ii) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and

Servicer is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the
benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer; or




(iii) The Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after
the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer
is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer.


8. With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute deposit accounts, either:





(i) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to
which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions

Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or




(ii) the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the

which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by
the Indenture Trustee relating to such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer;
or




(ii) the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to
identify in its records the Indenture Trustee as the person having a security entitlement
against the securities intermediary in each of such Trust Accounts.



Priority



10. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against
the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any

Seller under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the
Seller to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (iii) relating to the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or (iv) that has been terminated.



11. The Issuer is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the
Servicer.



13. None of the instruments, tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or
evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged,
assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.



14. No Trust Account that constitutes a securities account or securities entitlement is in the name
of any person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the
securities intermediary of any such Trust Account to comply with entitlement orders of any person
other than the Indenture Trustee.



15. No Trust Account that constitutes a deposit account is in the name of any person other than the
Issuer or the Secured Party. The Issuer has not consented to the bank maintaining such Trust

16. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the

No Waiver



17. The parties to this Indenture shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of
any material breach of the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
Schedule I, and shall not, without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach
of any of such perfection representations, warranties or covenants.




Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority



18. The Issuer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Indenture Trustee under
this Indenture, the Issuer shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may
be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the
Indenture Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Indenture Trustee’s
security interest in the Receivables. The Issuer shall, from time to time and within the time
limits established by law, prepare and file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations,
initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial
terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to
continue, maintain and perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Receivables as a
first-priority interest.

of the Holders of the Notes.



     Principal payable on the Notes will be paid on each Payment Date in the amount specified in
the Indenture and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. As described above, the entire Class [A-1]
[A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Note Balance shall be due and payable on the earliest of (i) [___] (the “Final
