date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in
the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in greater whole-dollar denominations in
excess thereof.


 


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 authorized signatories, and such certificate of
authentication 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 Issuing Entity may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuing Entity
Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes
that 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 this Indenture as the Authorized
Officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
such Notes.


 


If temporary Notes are
issued, the Issuing Entity will 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 Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged,


 


4

















 


the
temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as if they were Definitive Notes.


 


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


 


If a Person other than the
Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuing Entity as the Note Registrar, the
Issuing Entity will 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, to obtain copies thereof
and to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an
Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.


 


Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuing
Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of
Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuing Entity shall
execute, 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 a like
aggregate principal amount.


 


At the option of the Holder,
Notes may be exchanged for other new Notes of the same Class in any
authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, 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(a) of
the UCC are met, the Issuing Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the
Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


By its acquisition of a Note
or any interest therein, each purchaser or transferee shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that either (a) it is not an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that
is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing or a “governmental
plan” as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA that is subject to any law
substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
acquisition and holding of the Note or any interest therein will not result in
a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.


 


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


 


5
















 


Every Note presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible
guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which
requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent’s 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.


 


No service charge shall be
made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the
Issuing Entity 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
Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any 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 the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity to
hold the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, respectively, harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met,
the Issuing Entity shall execute, and upon its 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 of the same
Class; provided, however,
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
Issuing Entity may 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 bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of
which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note,
the Issuing Entity 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 payment made) or any assignee of such
Person, except a bona fide purchaser, 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 Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in
connection therewith.


 


Upon the issuance of any
replacement Note under this Section, the Issuing Entity may require the payment
by the Holder of such Note 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)
connected therewith.


 


Every replacement Note
issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time 


 


6

















 


enforceable
by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.


 


The provisions of this Section 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 Owner.  Prior to
due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuing Entity,
the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture
Trustee may 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 and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the
Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuing Entity or
the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 2.7.              Payment
of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.  (a)  
The A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3 Notes, A-4 Notes and Class B Notes
shall accrue interest at the A-1 Note Rate, the A-2 Note Rate, the A-3 Note
Rate, the A-4 Note Rate and the Class B Note Rate, respectively, and such
interest shall be payable on each Payment Date, subject to Section 3.1.  Any installment of interest or principal, if
any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the
Issuing Entity 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.  However, unless Definitive Notes have been
issued, 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. 
Notwithstanding the above, the final installment of principal payable
with respect to such Note (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note
called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall be payable as
provided in clause (b)(ii).  The funds represented by any such checks
returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.


 


(b)   (i) The principal of
each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in
this Indenture, and except as provided below each such installment shall be due
and payable only to the extent that there are funds available to make the
payment in accordance with the Basic Documents. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing:  (A) the
entire Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes shall be due and payable
on the related Class Final Scheduled Maturity Date, and (B) the
entire Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes shall be due and payable,
ratably to all Noteholders, on any date on which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner
provided in Section 5.2.  All
principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of the Class A-1 Notes. 
All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro
rata to the Noteholders of the Class A-2 Notes. All principal payments on
the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the Class A-3
Notes.  All principal payments on the Class A-4
Notes shall be 


 


7

















 


made pro rata to the Noteholders of the Class A-4 Notes.  All principal payments on the Class B
Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the Class B Notes.


 


(ii)           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 the Issuing Entity
expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note
will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed no later than five Business Days
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.


 


(c)   If the Issuing Entity
defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuing Entity shall pay,
in any lawful manner, defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted
interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable interest rate from the Payment
Date for which such payment is in default. 
The Issuing Entity may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who
are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at
least five Business Days prior to the special payment date.  The Issuing Entity shall fix or cause to be
fixed any such special record date and special payment date, and, at least 15
days before any such special record date, shall mail to each Noteholder a
notice that states the special record date, the special payment date and the
amount of defaulted interest to be paid.


 


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 canceled by the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuing Entity may at any time deliver to
the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder that the Issuing Entity may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Indenture Trustee.  No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in
this Section except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled 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 Issuing Entity shall direct by an
Issuing Entity Order that they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuing
Entity Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.9.              Release
of Collateral.  Subject to
Sections 8.4 and 11.1 and the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall
release property from the Lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an
Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§314(c) and
314(d)(l), or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to
the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.


 


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 Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) (the initial Clearing Agency), or
its custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuing Entity. Such Notes shall
initially be registered on the Note Register in the 


 


8

















 


name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing
Agency, and no Note Owner of such Note will 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”) representing Notes have been issued to Note Owners:


 


(i)            this Section shall be
in full force and effect;


 


(ii)           the Note Registrar and the
Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including
the payment of principal of and interest on the applicable Notes) as the
authorized representative of the Note Owners;


 


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


 


(iv)          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 such Note Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note
Depository Agreement.  Unless and until
Definitive Notes are issued, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers
among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of
principal of and interest on the applicable Notes to such Clearing Agency
Participants; and


 


(v)           whenever this Indenture
requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions
of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes (or a Class of Notes), 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 owning or
representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest
in the Notes (or Class of 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 for the Notes have been
issued to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the Clearing Agency.


 


SECTION 2.12.            Definitive
Notes.  Notes
initially or subsequently cleared through a clearing agency may be issued in
definitive, fully registered certificated form to Noteholders if requested by
the DTC participants to whom the Notes are credited and in accordance with DTC’s
rules and procedures.  Upon any
surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate, the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency.  None of the Issuing
Entity, the 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 fully 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.  In addition, Notes issued
as 


 


9

















 


Definitive Notes from time to time may be subsequently issued as
Book-Entry Notes and cleared through a Clearing Agency at the request of
applicable Holders of the Definitive Notes.


 


SECTION 2.13.            Tax
Treatment.  It is the
intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that,
for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole
or in part by income, until the Certificates are held by other than the Seller,
the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the Seller and the Notes be
treated as debt of the Seller.  At such
time that the Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the intent
of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for such
tax purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership and the Notes be treated as
debt of the Trust.  Each Noteholder or
Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take no action
inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as provided
in this Section 2.13.


 


ARTICLE
III

Covenants


 


SECTION 3.1.              Payment
of Principal and Interest.  The Issuing Entity will duly and punctually
pay the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the
terms of the Notes and this Indenture. 
Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Sections 8.2(c) and (e),
the Issuing Entity will cause to be distributed to Holders of the Notes all
amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Payment Date deposited
therein for the benefit of the Notes pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.  Amounts properly withheld
under the Code or any applicable State law by any Person from a payment to any
Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid
by the Issuing Entity to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 3.2.              Maintenance
of Office or Agency.  The
Issuing Entity will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuing Entity in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuing Entity hereby initially appoints
the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes.  The Issuing Entity will 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 Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity 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 Sections 8.2(a) and (b),
all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to
be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(e),
as applicable, shall be made on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the Indenture
Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes
shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity except as provided in this Section.


 


10

















 


One Business Day prior to
each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuing Entity shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum
sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the
Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.


 


Any Paying Agent shall be
appointed by Issuing Entity Order with written notice thereof to the Indenture
Trustee.  Any Paying Agent appointed by
the Issuing Entity shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture
Trustee hereunder as provided in Section 6.11.


 


The Issuing Entity will
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), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such
Paying Agent will:


 


(i)            hold in trust 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 herein provided;


 


(ii)           give the Indenture Trustee
notice of any default by the Issuing Entity (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; and


 


(v)           comply with all requirements
of the Code and any applicable State law 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.


 


The Issuing Entity may at
any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuing Entity 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 the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such 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 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 be paid to the Issuing Entity
on Issuing Entity 


 


11

















 


Order;
and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Issuing Entity for payment thereof (but only to the extent of
the amounts so paid to the Issuing Entity), and all liability of the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon
cease; provided, however,
that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuing Entity
cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the
City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Issuing Entity.  The
Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuing
Entity, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including
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 Holder).


 


SECTION 3.4.              Existence.  The Issuing Entity will keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and will 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 the Trust Estate.  The
Issuing Entity will 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, and will
take such other action necessary or advisable to:


 


(i)            maintain or preserve the
Lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or
carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;


 


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


 


(iii)          enforce any of the
Collateral; or


 


(iv)          preserve and defend title to
the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in
such Trust Estate against the claims of all Persons.


 


The Issuing Entity hereby
designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute
any financing statement, continuation statement, instrument of further
assurance or other instrument required to be executed to accomplish the
foregoing.


 


SECTION 3.6.              Opinions
as to the Trust Estate.  (a)  
On the Closing Date, the Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, such action has been taken or will be 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 


 


12

















 


continuation
statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective 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 make such Lien and security interest effective.


 


(b)   On or before April 30
in each calendar year commencing in the calendar year 2011 the Issuing Entity
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 is necessary to maintain the Lien and security
interest of 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,
amendments to 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 Issuing Entity will not take any action and will use its best
efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any
Person from any material covenants or obligations under any instrument or
agreement included in the Trust Estate 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
expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such
other instrument or agreement.


 


(b)   The Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity shall be
deemed to be action taken by the Issuing Entity.  Initially, the Issuing Entity has contracted
with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuing Entity in
performing its duties under this Indenture.


 


(c)   The Issuing Entity will
punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained
in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and
agreements included in the Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be
filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be
filed by this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with
and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
therein, the Issuing Entity shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or
terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of
the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes.


 


(d)   If the Issuing Entity shall
have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuing Entity
shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof,
and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuing Entity is
taking with respect to such default.  If
a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to 


 


13

















 


perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuing Entity shall take all
reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.


 


(e)   As promptly as possible
after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s
rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall become the successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”) (or if there is no Backup Servicer on
such date, then the Issuing Entity shall appoint a Successor Servicer
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee), and such Successor Servicer shall accept
its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee.  In the event that a Successor
Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when
the previous Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without
further action shall automatically be appointed as the Successor Servicer.  Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture
Trustee shall, if it is unable to so act, (i) notify the Issuing Entity of
its resignation as Successor Servicer and (ii) appoint or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net
worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the
servicing of equipment receivables as the successor to the Servicer under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.  In
accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Issuing Entity shall enter into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for
the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). 
If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s duties
as servicer of the Receivables as provided
herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as
Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be
inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer
and the servicing of the Receivables.  In
case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to act through
or appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be
fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as
Successor Servicer.  Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee
be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the
Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor
Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Indenture and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein, or be liable for or be required to make any
servicer advances.


 


(f)    Upon any termination of the
Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Issuing Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee.  As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed,
the Issuing Entity shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment,
specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.


 


SECTION 3.8.              Negative
Covenants.  So long as
any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuing Entity shall not:


 


(i)            except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the
properties or assets of the Issuing Entity, including those included in the
Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;


 


14

















 


(ii)           claim any credit on, or make
any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes
(other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or
applicable State law) or assert any claim against any present or former
Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any
part of the Trust Estate; or


 


(iii)          (A) permit the validity
or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the Lien of this
Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged,
or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted
hereby, (B) permit any Lien (other than the Lien of this Indenture) to be
created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or
any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof or (C) permit
the Lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than
with respect to any tax lien, mechanics’ lien or other lien not considered a
Lien) security interest in the Trust Estate.

Statement as to Compliance.  The Issuing Entity will deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Issuing Entity, an Officer’s Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B,

default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a notice of Default hereunder;


 


(iv)          the filing of a decree or order for

the Issuing Entity in furtherance of any of the foregoing.


 


The Issuing Entity shall
deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days after the Issuing Entity or
the Administrator obtains actual knowledge thereof, written notice in the form
of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that, with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default under clause  (iii), its
status and what action the Issuing Entity is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.


 


SECTION 5.2.              Acceleration of
Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  If an Event of Default should occur and be
continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of
Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may
declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuing Entity (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders),
and upon any such declaration the Outstanding Amount, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable.


 


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 in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, by written
notice to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if:


 


(i)            the Issuing Entity 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, in each case, that would then be due hereunder 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.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.3.              Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement
by Indenture Trustee.  (a) 
The Issuing Entity covenants that if an Event of Default described in 


 


21

















 


Section 5.1(i) or (ii) occurs,
the Issuing Entity will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for
the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal
at the applicable interest rate, 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 Issuing Entity
shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts 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 Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon
such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.


 


(c)   In case an Event of Default
occurs 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 Issuing Entity or any other obligor upon the Notes or
any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate,
Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a
receiver, assignee, trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken
possession of the Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor or
Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the
Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property
of the Issuing Entity 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 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 or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such
Proceedings;


 


22

















 


(ii)           unless prohibited by applicable law
or regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Notes in any election
of a trustee, a standby trustee or any 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 Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial
Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity, its creditors and its property;


 


and any trustee, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders 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 reasonable
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence
or bad faith.


 


(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.


 


(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 and 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
Holders of the Notes.


 


(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 Holders of the
Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such
Proceedings.


 


SECTION 5.4.              Remedies; Priorities.  (a)  If the Notes have been declared to
be due and payable under Section 5.2
following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Section 5.5):


 


23

















 


(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
Issuing Entity 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 Trust Estate;


 


(iii)          exercise any 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 Holders of the
Notes;


 


(iv)          sell the Trust Estate, or any portion
thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; and


 


(v)           make demand upon the Servicer, by
written notice, that the Servicer deliver to the Indenture Trustee all
Receivable Files;


 


provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or
otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than
an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i) or
(ii), unless:  (A) all the Noteholders consent thereto,
(B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the
Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds
for the payment of principal of and interest 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 Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with
respect to clauses (B) and (C), 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 Trust Estate for such purpose.  The Indenture Trustee shall incur no
liability as a result of the sale of the Trust Estate or any part thereof at
any sale pursuant to this Section 5.4
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. 
Each of the Issuing Entity and Holders hereby waives any claims against
the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the
Trust Estate may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might
have been obtained, even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Trust Estate to more than one offeree, so long
as such sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.


 


(b)   If the Indenture Trustee
collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay
out such money or property in the following order:


 


FIRST:  to pay the Backup Servicer its accrued and
unpaid Backup Servicer Fees;


 


SECOND:  to pay the Servicer its accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fee;


 


24

















 


THIRD:  to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due
under Section 6.7 and to the Trustee for
amounts due under Section 8.1 of the Trust
Agreement;


 


FOURTH:  to the Administrator its accrued and unpaid
Administration Fees;


 


FIFTH:  to the Note Distribution Account for
distribution pursuant to Section 8.2(e) to
the extent of all amounts payable under such Section, other than any amounts
that would be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account under such
Section;


 


SIXTH:  first, to the Backup Servicer, to cover any
accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses (including the Backup Servicer
Expenses) to the extent unreimbursed after application of Section 4.12
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and second to the Servicer, to cover any
accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses;


 


SEVENTH:  to the Trustee for amounts due to the Trustee
under Article VIII of the Trust Agreement
to the extent not paid under clause THIRD above;
and


 


EIGHTH:  to the Issuing Entity for distribution to the
Certificateholders.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.5.              Optional
Preservation of the Receivables. 
If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default, and such
declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust
Estate.  It is the desire 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 desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate.  In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, 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 Trust Estate for such purpose.


 


SECTION 5.6.              Limitation of
Suits.  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;


 


25
















 


(ii)                                  the Holder(s) of
not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written
request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;


 


(iii)                               such Holder(s) have
offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity 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 Proceeding; 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
Amount of the Notes;


 


it being understood and
intended that no one or more Holder(s) of Notes 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 Holder(s) of
Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holder(s) or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except 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 Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole
discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture.


 


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, if any, 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 Holder.


 


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 Issuing Entity, 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 


 


26

















 


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 Notes 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 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.  The Holders
of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes 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 exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided,
that:


 


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


 


(ii)                                  subject to the
express terms of Section 5.4,
any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
shall be by all the Noteholders;


 


(iii)                               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 Outstanding
Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force
and effect; and


 


(iv)                              the Indenture
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that
is not inconsistent with such direction;


 


provided further, however, that, subject
to Section 6.1,
the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve
it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any
Noteholder(s) not consenting to such action.


 


SECTION 5.12.                                    Waiver
of Past Defaults.  Prior to
the time a judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained as
described in Section 5.3, the Holders of
Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes 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 or (b) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note.  In
the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


Upon any such waiver, such
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 


 


27

















 


have
been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.


 


SECTION 5.13.                                    Undertaking
for Costs.  All parties
to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any 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 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 attorney’s 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(s) holding
in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes 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 Issuing Entity 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 Issuing
Entity (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
Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity.
Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in
accordance with Section 5.4(b).


 


SECTION 5.16.                                    Performance
and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.                          (a)  Promptly following a request from
the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuing
Entity shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request
to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the
Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuing Entity
under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to the Seller
under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
lawfully available to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement (or the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement) to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices 


 


28

















 


of
default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer 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 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 not less than
66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuing Entity against the
Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure
performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their
obligations to the Issuing Entity thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and any right of the Issuing Entity to take such action shall be
suspended.


 


(c)          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 not less than
66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Seller against CNHCA under or in
connection with the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take
any action to compel or secure performance or observance by CNHCA, of each of
its obligations to the Seller thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Purchase Agreement, and any
right of the Seller to take such action shall be suspended.


 


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 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)         Except during
the continuance of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer:


 


(i)                                     the Indenture
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture 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, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall examine
the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture.


 


29

















 


(c)          The Indenture
Trustee may 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 clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (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 unless it is conclusively determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts;


 


(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
the Indenture;


 


(iv)                              the Indenture
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default or Servicer
Default unless a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such event or
the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Seller,
Servicer or Note Owners owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and


 


(v)                                 the Indenture
Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuing Entity,
the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer, nor shall it have any liability in
connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee,
the Seller or the Servicer.  The
Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of the
Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer with statutory or
regulatory requirements related to the Receivables.  The Indenture Trustee shall not make or be
deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the
Receivables or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Receivables
to the Trust Estate or the Indenture Trustee.


 


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


 


(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 Issuing Entity.


 


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


 


(g)         No provision of
this Indenture 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 in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall
have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not
reasonably assured to it.


 


30

















 


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


 


SECTION 6.2.                                          Rights
of Indenture Trustee.    (a)  The Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting on any document
reasonably 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 any such document.


 


(b)         Before the
Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. 
The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on the 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, attorneys, a custodian or a
nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it.


 


(d)         The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that 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 not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of
any files or records related to the Receivables for the purpose of establishing
the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Issuing Entity with
its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.


 


(g)         In the event
that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Note Registrar
hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Article VI shall also be
afforded to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such Paying Agent or Note
Registrar.


 


SECTION 6.3.                                          Individual
Rights of the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall not, in its individual
capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner of Notes or
otherwise extend credit to the Issuing Entity. 
The Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture
Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections
6.11 and 6.12.


 


31

















 


SECTION 6.4.                                          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 Issuing Entity’s use of the proceeds from the Notes; and
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuing Entity in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or
in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.


 


SECTION 6.5.                                          Notice
of Defaults.  If a
Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90
days after it occurs.  Except in the case
of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any 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 Indenture Trustee to the Holders.  The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each
Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such Holder to prepare
its federal, State and other income tax returns.  Within 60 days after each December 31, starting
with December 31, 2010, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder a brief report as of such December 31 that complies with TIA §
313(a) (if required by said section).


 


SECTION 6.7.                                          Compensation
and Indemnity.  The Issuing
Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed to between the
Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in writing.  The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust.  The Issuing Entity shall, or
shall cause the Servicer to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection,
in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the
Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.  The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Issuing Entity and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture
Trustee to so notify the Issuing Entity and the Servicer shall not relieve the
Issuing Entity or the Servicer of its respective obligations hereunder.  The Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the
Servicer to, defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the
Issuing Entity nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the
Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.


 


The Issuing Entity’s payment
obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall
survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee.  When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified
in Section 5.1(iv) or (v), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under 


 


32

















 


Title
11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.


 


SECTION 6.8.                                          Replacement
of the Indenture Trustee.  No resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8.  The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time
by so notifying the Issuing Entity in writing. 
The Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in
writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.  The Issuing Entity shall remove the Indenture
Trustee if:


 


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


 


(ii)                                  the Indenture
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;


 


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


 


(iv)                              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 Indenture Trustee
for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as
the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee
under this Indenture.  The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The
retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
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 Issuing
Entity or the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes 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.


 


Notwithstanding the
replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuing
Entity’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall have no
liability for any act or omission by any successor Indenture Trustee other than
itself, serving again as Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9.                                          Successor
Indenture Trustee by Merger.  If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all 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.  The
Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Issuing Entity
prompt written notice of any such transaction following the consummation thereof;
provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.


 


In case at the time such
successor(s) 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of
authentication shall have the full force and effect to the same extent given to
the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee anywhere in the
Notes or in this Indenture.


 


SECTION 6.10.                 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.    (a) 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or
more Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s), of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee 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 understood
that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately
without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act(s) are to be
performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act(s), in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in
any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;


 


34
















 


(ii)           no trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee
hereunder; and


 


(iii)          the Indenture Trustee may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove, in its sole discretion, any separate
trustee or co-trustee.


 


(c)   Any notice, request or other
writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to
each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given
to each of them.  Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Indenture Trustee. 
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.


 


(d)   Any separate trustee or
co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee as its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by
law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement 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.


 


(e)   The Indenture Trustee shall
have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is
legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may
be located.


 


SECTION 6.11.            Eligibility;
Disqualification.  The
Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and,
upon Issuing Entity Order, Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.  The Indenture
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall
have a long term senior, unsecured debt rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s
(or, if not rated by Moody’s, a comparable rating by another statistical rating
agency).  The Indenture Trustee shall
comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the
second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of
TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under which other securities of the
Issuing Entity are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth
in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.


 


If a default occurs under
this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have a conflicting
interest as a result of acting as trustee for both (1) the Class A
Notes and (2) the Class B Notes, a successor Indenture Trustee shall
be appointed for one or more of such Classes, so that there will be separate
Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes,
respectively.  No such event shall alter
the voting rights of the Class A Noteholders or the Class B
Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Basic Document.  However, so long as any 


 


35

















 


amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A
Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have
the right to exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express
provisions of Section 5.4 and to the right
of the Class B Noteholders to receive their respective shares of any
proceeds of enforcement, subject to the subordination of the Class B Notes
to the Class A Notes as described herein). 
Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full, but so long as any
amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class B Notes, only the
Indenture Trustee for the Class B Noteholders will have the right to
exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions
of Section 5.4).


 


In the case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of
Notes, the Issuing Entity, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor
Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein the each successor Indenture
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and
to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to
which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if
the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of
Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the
retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee,
it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each
such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein.


 


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


 


SECTION 6.13.            Information to Be Provided
by the Indenture Trustee. 
At any time when the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act are not
suspended, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer promptly after the
Indenture Trustee becomes aware of (a) the initiation of any legal
proceedings against the Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of the
Indenture Trustee is subject, that are material to the Noteholders, (b) any
developments in any such proceedings that are material to the Noteholders and (c) any
such material proceedings that are contemplated by any governmental authority
against the Indenture Trustee.

Warranties.  The Indenture
Trustee hereby represents that:

any material agreement or other instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a
party or by which it is bound;


 


(d)   to best of the Indenture
Trustee’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or
threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other

its properties:  (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking
any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the

or enforceability of, this Indenture; and


 


(e)   as of the date of the
Underwriting Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus Date, the Prospectus Date
and the Closing Date, there are no legal proceedings pending against the
Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of the Indenture Trustee is
subject, that are material to the Noteholders, and no such legal proceedings

SECTION 8.3.              General Provisions Regarding Accounts.  (a)  So long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in
the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by
the Indenture Trustee upon Issuing Entity Order, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.  All income or other gain from
investments of monies deposited in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited by the
Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account, and any loss or expenses resulting
from such investments shall be charged to such account.  The Issuing Entity will not direct the
Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment
held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest granted and
perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or
the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any
Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make
any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing
Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect.


 


(b)   Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any
way be held liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or by reason of
any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any
Eligible Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the
Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments
issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal
obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms; provided, however,
that the limitation to the Indenture Trustee’s liability does not extend to any
actions constituting willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.


 


(c)   If (i) the Issuing
Entity shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit
in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuing Entity and the
Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the
Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to 


 


41

















 


Section 5.2, or, if such
Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default,
but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in
accordance with Section 5.4(b) as if
there had not been such a declaration; then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the
fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in
the Eligible Investments identified in clause (d) of
the definition of Eligible Investments.


 


(d)   [Reserved].


 


SECTION 8.4.              Release of Trust Estate.  (a)  Subject to the payment of its fees
and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7,
the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by this Indenture shall, execute
instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the
Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances
that are not inconsistent with this Indenture. 
No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as
provided in this Article shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s
authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to
the application of any monies.


 


(b)   The Indenture Trustee shall,
at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7
have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured
the Notes from the Lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuing Entity or
any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust
Accounts.  The Indenture Trustee shall
release property from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to this paragraph
only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, and (if required by the TIA) Independent
Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting
the applicable requirements of Section 11.1
or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect
that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.


 


SECTION 8.5.              Opinion
of Counsel.  The Indenture
Trustee shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuing
Entity to take any action pursuant to Section 8.4(a),
accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee
shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel
stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to
complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking
of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and
adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in
contravention of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required
to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate.  Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in
connection with any such action.

Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the TIA as in force at the date of

or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising

action shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
Notes;


 


(vii)         to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor or additional trustee
with respect to the Notes or any class thereof and to add to or change any of

administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to
the requirements of Article VI;


 


(viii)        to modify, eliminate or add to the
provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the

statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as
may be expressly required by the TIA; or


 


(ix)           to amend the “Specified Spread
Account Balance” definition in a manner that results in an increase in the
amounts required to be on deposit in the Spread Account pursuant to such
definition.


 


43

authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to
make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein

or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that
such action shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.  A supplemental indenture shall be deemed not
to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Class of
Notes if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
supplemental indenture for such Class of Notes.


 


(c)   [Reserved].


 


SECTION 9.2.              Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Noteholders.  The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee,
when authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, may, with prior written notice to
the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by Act of such
Holders delivered to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes
under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:


 


(i)            delay the Class Final Scheduled
Maturity Date of any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest
rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto or change any place
of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds
available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such
amount due on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);


 


(ii)           reduce the percentage of the
Outstanding Amount, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any
such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required
for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
Indenture;


 


(iii)          modify or alter the provisions of the
proviso to the definition of “Outstanding”;


 


44
















 


(iv)          reduce the percentage of the
Outstanding Amount required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the
Issuing Entity to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4;


 


(v)           modify any provision of this Section except
to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain
additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
affected thereby;


 


(vi)          modify any of the provisions of this
Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any
payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including
the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation); or


 


(vii)         permit the creation of any Lien ranking
prior to or on a parity with the Lien of this Indenture with respect to any
part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
herein, terminate the Lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject
hereto or deprive any Holder of Notes of the security provided by the Lien of
this Indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary
for any Act of the Noteholders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents (and
any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Indenture or in any
other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Indenture Trustee may provide.


 


Promptly after the execution
by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of
the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice
setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture.  Any failure of the Indenture
Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.


 


SECTION 9.3.              Execution
of Supplemental Indentures. 
In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX
or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects
the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.


 


SECTION 9.4.              Effect of
Supplemental Indenture. 
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and
amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and
the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities
and immunities 


 


45

















 


under this Indenture of the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuing Entity and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental
indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture for any and all purposes.


 


SECTION 9.5.              Conformity
with Trust Indenture Act. 
Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article IX
shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as this
Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.


 


SECTION 9.6.              Reference
in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.  Notes authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and
if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by
the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture.  If the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in
the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, to any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuing Entity and
authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Notes.


 


SECTION 9.7.              Amendment
without Consent. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than as provided
in Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.2), any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee without the
consent of the Noteholders or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any
provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to comply with or obtain
more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or any
accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it
being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall
have been satisfied.


 


SECTION 9.8.              Backup
Servicer Consent. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary, for so long as there is a Backup Servicer, the Issuing Entity and the
Indenture Trustee shall not, without the consent of the Backup Servicer (such
consent is not to be unreasonably withheld), make, execute, acknowledge or
deliver amendments to this Indenture or enter into any supplemental indentures
hereto or thereto or otherwise waive or amend any provision of this Indenture
if such action shall have, or it is expected may have, a material adverse
effect on the Backup Servicer or any Successor Servicer.

not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

Article, become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price

SECTION 11.1.            Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.  (a)  Upon any application or request by

additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.


 


Every certificate or opinion

shall include:


 


(w)          a statement that each signatory of such certificate or
opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the

in clause (i), the Issuing Entity shall
also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same

other property or securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release
since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuing Entity,
as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) and

(iv)          Whenever the Issuing Entity 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), the Issuing Entity
shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to

than one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.


 


(v)           Notwithstanding Section 2.9

otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Equipment as and to the extent
permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments
out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the
Basic Documents so long as the Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee every six months, commencing March 1, 2011, an Officer’s
Certificate of the Issuing Entity stating that all such dispositions of
Collateral that occurred since the execution of the previous such Officer’s
Certificate (or for the first such Officer’s Certificate, since the Closing
Date) were in the ordinary course of the Issuing Entity’s business and that the
proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.


 


SECTION 11.2.            Form of Documents
Delivered to 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.


 


Any certificate or opinion
of an Authorized Officer of the Issuing Entity 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, opinion or representations with respect to
the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based is/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 Issuing Entity or the Administrator, stating
that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession
of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuing Entity or the Administrator, as
applicable, 


 


49

















 


unless such Authorized Officer or counsel
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate,
opinion or representations with respect to such matters is/are erroneous.


 


Where any Person is required
or permitted 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, certificate or report to the Indenture
Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver any document as a
condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuing
Entity’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 Issuing Entity 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 instrument(s) 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(s) are delivered
to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuing Entity.  Such instrument(s) (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument(s).  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 Issuing Entity, 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 Act by the Holder of any
Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof,
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Note.


 


SECTION 11.4.            Notices, etc., to the
Indenture Trustee, Issuing Entity and Rating Agencies.  Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders, or other documents
provided or permitted by this Indenture, shall be in writing and, 


 


50

















 


if such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:

and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the

notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.

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

jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or of the
Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


 


SECTION 11.12.          Legal Holidays.  In any case where the date on which any

Entity, or solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any institution
against the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic
Documents.  The foregoing shall not limit
the rights of the Indenture Trustee to file any claim in or otherwise take any
action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted against
the Issuing Entity by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.


 


53

















 


SECTION 11.18.          Inspection.  The Issuing Entity agrees that, on reasonable
prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee,
during the Issuing Entity’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuing Entity, to make
copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent
certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuing Entity’s affairs,
finances and accounts with the Issuing Entity’s officers, employees and
Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as
often as may be reasonably requested. 
The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold
in confidence all such information; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall
not be construed to prohibit:  (i) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuing Entity or
Servicer, (ii) disclosure of any and all information:  (A) if required to do so by any
applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government
agency or regulatory or self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to

independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture
Trustee having a need to know the same; provided,
that the Indenture Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of
the information being disclosed and such recipient agrees to keep such
information confidential, and provided
further, that the Indenture Trustee promptly notifies the Issuing
Entity of any disclosure of such information that it is required to make
pursuant to the preceding clause (A), (B) or
(C) so that the Issuing
Entity may seek appropriate protective orders or restrictions on the disclosure
of the information involved; (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the

the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.


 


SECTION 11.19.          Subordination.  Issuing Entity and each Noteholder by
accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that such Note represents indebtedness
of Issuing Entity and does not represent an interest in any assets (other than
the Trust Estate) of CNHCR (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in
respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Estate
and proceeds thereof).  In furtherance of
and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent CNHCR enters into other
securitization transactions, the Issuing Entity as well as each Noteholder by
accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that it shall have no right, title or
interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than Trust Estate)
conveyed or purported to be conveyed by CNHCR to another securitization trust
or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale,
capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”).  To the extent that, notwithstanding the
agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this
subsection, the Issuing Entity or any Noteholder either (i) asserts an
interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against
or through CNHCR or any other Person owned by CNHCR, or (ii) is deemed to
have any such interest, claim 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), and
whether deemed asserted against or through CNHCR or 


 


54

















 


any other Person owned by CNHCR, then the
Issuing Entity and each Noteholder by accepting a Note further acknowledge and
agree that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and
shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all
obligations and liabilities of CNHCR which, under the terms of the relevant
documents relating to the securitization 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 distribution or application
under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against
CNHCR or any other Person owned by CNHCR), including, the payment of
post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.  This subordination agreement shall be deemed
a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each Noteholder further acknowledges and
agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.19 and the terms of this Section 11.19 may be enforced by an
action for specific performance.


 


SECTION 11.20.          Information Requests.  The parties hereto shall provide any
information reasonably requested by the Issuing Entity, Seller or any of their
Affiliates, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, Seller or any of their
Affiliates, as applicable, in order to comply with or obtain more favorable
treatment under any current or future law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or
principle.

substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or (b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial
interest therein, will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any
substantially similar applicable law.

[REVERSE
OF NOTE]


 


This Note is one of a duly
authorized issue of the Issuing Entity, designated as its 2.49% Class A-4
Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “A-4 Notes” or
the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 1, 2010 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is
herein called the “Indenture”)
between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.,
not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee (the “Indenture
Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are
subject to all terms of the Indenture. 
All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and
that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
or pursuant to the Indenture.


 


The Notes, the A-1 Notes,
the A-2 Notes and the A-3 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by
the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.


 


The Issuing Entity shall pay
interest on overdue installments of interest at the A-4 Note Rate to the extent
lawful.


 


Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity
or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate
or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against:  (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee
in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of:  (a) the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of (c) any successor or assign of the Indenture
Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed 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 partner, owner or beneficiary.


 


It is the intent of the
Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of
federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by
income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness of the Trust.  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance
of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note,
agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the
Notes for such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.


 


Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against the
Seller or the Issuing Entity, or join in any institution against the Seller or
the Issuing Entity of, any bankruptcy,

reorganization
or arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.


 


Each Noteholder or Note
Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case of Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it is not (i) an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan
described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Code, (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of
any of the foregoing (each a “Benefit Plan”),
or (iv) a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) that is subject to any law
substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or (b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial
interest therein, will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any
substantially similar applicable law.


 


This Note and the Indenture
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and
the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder
shall be determined in accordance with such laws.


 


No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.


 


Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents,
neither The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in its individual
capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of
their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors,
employees, successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on,
or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or
indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly
understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made

hereof, and each Note Owner by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein,

case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder and Note Owner
shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing

Exhibit
B (Page 1)

















 


Schedule P


 


1.             General. 
The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in all of the Issuing Entity’s right, title and
interest in, to and under (i) the Receivables, (ii) the security
interests in the Financed Equipment granted by Obligors pursuant to the
Receivables, (iii) the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement (only with
respect to Owned Contracts) and (iv) the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(including all rights of the Seller under the Liquidity Receivables Purchase
Agreements and the Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuing Entity pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement), in each case, in favor of the Indenture
Trustee, which, (a) security interest is enforceable upon execution of the
Indenture against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuing Entity as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws, now or
hereafter in effect, and by general principles of equity (whether considered in
a suit at law or in equity), and (b) upon filing of the financing
statements described in clause 4
below will be prior to all other Liens.


 


2.             Characterization. 
The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning
of UCC Section 9-102.  The rights granted under the agreements
described in clause 1(ii) through (iv) constitute “general intangibles” within the
meaning of UCC Section 9-102.  The Issuing Entity has taken or will take all
steps necessary to perfect its security interest in the property securing the
Receivables within 10 days of the Closing Date.


 


3.             Creation. 
Immediately prior to the grant to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture, the Issuing Entity owns and has good and marketable title to, or has
a valid security interest in, the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim
or encumbrance of any Person.


 


4.             Perfection. 
The Issuing Entity has caused or will have caused, within ten days of
the Closing Date, 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 granted to the Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture in the Receivables.  With
respect to the Collateral that constitutes tangible chattel paper, the Servicer
or a Subservicer, as custodian, received possession of such tangible chattel
paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment (which is
contained in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) from such custodian that it is
acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed under this clause 4 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”.


 


5.             Priority. 
Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuing Entity has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral.  The Issuing Entity has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against
the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the
Collateral other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, (ii) that
has been terminated or relating to a security interest which has been released,
or (iii) that has been granted pursuant to the terms of the Basic
Documents.  None of the tangible chattel
paper that constitutes or evidences the Collateral has any marks or notations
indicating that they have pledged, assigned

or
otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuing Entity is not aware of any
judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it.


 


6.             Survival of Perfection Representations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Indenture or any other Basic Document, the Perfection Representations contained
in this Schedule P shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect
(other than with respect to Reacquired Receivables);


 


7.             No Waiver. 
The parties to the Indenture:  (i) shall
not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes,
waive a material breach of any of the representations and warranties in this
Schedule P (the “Perfection Representations”); (ii) shall
provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any material breach
of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any
adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive
a material breach of any of the Perfection Representations.


 


8.             Servicer to
Maintain Perfection and Priority. 
The Servicer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of
Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement, Servicer 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
Issuing Entity) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the
Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Receivables.  Servicer shall, from time to time and within
the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Indenture
Trustee for the Indenture Trustee to authorize the Servicer to 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 (each a “Filing”).  Issuing Entity shall promptly authorize in
writing Servicer to, and Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform
Commercial Code without the signature of the Indenture Trustee or Issuing
Entity where allowed by applicable law.
