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


 


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

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


 


Section 2.07   Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and that such Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 2.08   Release of Collateral.  Subject to Section 11.01 and the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request.


 


Section 2.09   Book-Entry Notes.  Unless otherwise specified, the Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer.  One fully registered Note shall be issued with respect to each $500 million in principal amount of each Class of Notes or such lesser amount as necessary.  Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note except as provided in Section 2.11.  Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between or among such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency or Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and


 


(e)           whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount, 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 or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 2.10   Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.


 


Section 2.11   Definitive Notes.  If (i) (A) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as described in the Depository Agreement and (B) none of the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or the Administrator is able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator at its option, with the consent of the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after an Indenture Default, Note Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency and its Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or its successor is no longer in the best interest of Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall be required to notify all Note Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of such event and the availability through the Clearing Agency of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee by the Clearing Agency of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and the receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Indenture Trustee shall issue Definitive Notes to Note Owners, who thereupon shall become Noteholders for all purposes of this Indenture.  None of the Owner Trustee, 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 protected in relying on, such instructions.


 


The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.  The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of such methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.


 


If Definitive Notes are issued and the Indenture Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee a list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders (i) as of each Record Date, within five days thereafter and (ii) as of not more than ten days prior to the time such list is furnished, within 30 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a written request therefor.


 


Section 2.12   Authenticating Agents.  Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses the Indenture Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05 and 9.05, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes.  For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Indenture Trustee.


 


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


 


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


 


The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto.  The provisions of Sections 2.07 and 6.04 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

As provided in Sections 8.04 and 5.04(b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn therefrom for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section.


 


On each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, and the Paying Agent shall hold such sum 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 any failure by the Issuer to effect such deposit.


 


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


 


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

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


 


The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such 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 deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the 2010-1 SUBI Collection Account, and the related Noteholder shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer 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 date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be paid to the Administrator.  The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Noteholders the Notes of which have been called but not 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 any Paying Agent at the last address of record for each such Noteholder).


 


Section 3.04   Existence.  The Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.


 


Section 3.05   Protection of Trust Estate.  The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate.  The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:


 


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

Section 3.07   Performance of Obligations; Administration of the 2010-1 SUBI Assets.


 


(a)           The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, including the Administrator, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the 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 the Basic Documents or such other instrument or agreement.


 


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


 


(c)           The Issuer shall, and, shall cause the Administrator and the Servicer to, punctually perform and observe all of its and their respective obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and 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 the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer, as a party to the Basic Documents and as Holder of the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate, shall not, and shall cause each of the Servicer and the Administrator not to, modify, amend, supplement, waive or terminate any Basic Document to which it is a party or any provision thereof without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition and satisfying each other condition as may be specified in the particular provision or Basic Document.  Copies of any statements and certificates required to be provided to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document may be obtained by Securityholders by a request in writing addressed to the Indenture Trustee.


 


(d)           If the Issuer or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of a Servicer Default, such entity shall promptly notify the other entity and the Administrator thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the other entity is taking in respect of such default.  If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2010-1 SUBI Assets, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.  Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Servicer Default with respect to the 2010-1 SUBI, the Indenture Trustee (at the direction of Noteholders holding not less than 66 2⁄3% of the Outstanding Amount) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer with respect to the 2010-1 SUBI only, and a successor Servicer shall be appointed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE FIVE


 


INDENTURE DEFAULT


 


Section 5.01   Indenture Defaults.  The occurrence and continuation of any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Indenture Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall constitute a default under this Indenture (each, an “Indenture Default”):


 


(a)           default in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of 5 days or more;


 


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


 


(c)           default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders representing at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;


 


(d)           the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any substantial part of the Trust Estate in an involuntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer’s affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or


 


(e)           the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, the consent by the Issuer to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) for a period of 45 days, under clause (b) for a period of 60 days or under clause (c) for a period of 120 days, will not constitute an Event of Default if that failure or delay was caused by a Force Majeure.


 


The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder, and with respect to each Rating Agency shall make available, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Indenture Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Subject to the provisions herein relating to the duties of the Indenture Trustee, if an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Noteholder, if the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes that it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request.  Subject to such provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained herein, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, and Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may, in certain cases, waive any default with respect thereto, except a default in the payment of principal or interest or a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified without the waiver or consent of all of the holders of the Outstanding Notes.


 


Section 5.02   Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Indenture Default.  If an Indenture Default should occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the  Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount may declare the principal of the Notes to be immediately due and payable.  Upon such declaration, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to the Administrator.  Such declaration may be rescinded by Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee if (a) the Issuer has deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to pay (i) all interest on and principal of the Notes as if the Indenture Default giving rise to such declaration had not occurred and (ii) all amounts advanced by the Indenture Trustee and its costs and expenses and (b) all Indenture Defaults (other than the nonpayment of principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration) have been cured or waived.


 


At any time prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may waive such Indenture Default and its consequences, except a default (i) in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or (ii) in respect of any covenant or provision in this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the unanimous consent of the Noteholders.  No such waiver shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


If the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Indenture Default, the Indenture Trustee may institute proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Trust Estate) or elect to maintain the Trust Estate and continue to apply the proceeds from the Trust Estate as if there had been no declaration of acceleration.  Any sale of the Trust Estate by the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.04.


 


Section 5.03   Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.


 


(a)           The Issuer covenants that if there is a default in the payment of (i) any interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days or (ii) the principal of the Notes at the Note Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of such Noteholders, the entire amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the Overdue 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, attorneys and counsel.


 


(b)           In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay amounts described in Section 5.03(a) upon demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.


 


(c)           If an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


(d)           In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the 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 or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances and disbursements made by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07.


 


(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 Noteholder or 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 the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, advances, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


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


 


Section 5.04   Remedies; Priorities.


 


(a)           If an Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Sections 5.02 and 5.05):


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)   subject to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02, 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;


 


provided, however, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Indenture Default, other than an Indenture Default described in Section 5.01 (a) or (b), unless (A) Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding Amount consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon all outstanding Securities (other than Trust Certificate) 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 Noteholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount; and provided further, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell the Trust Estate, unless it shall first have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such sale will not cause the Vehicle Trust or an interest therein or portion thereof to be classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.  In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may but need not obtain (at the expense of the Issuer) 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.


 


(b)           If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Five upon sale of the Trust Estate, it shall pay out such money or property held as Collateral (and other amounts including amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Fund) for the benefit of the Noteholders, net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate in the following order:


 


(i)   pro rata, to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts required to be paid under Section 6.07 of the Indenture or to the Owner Trustee, all amounts required to be paid under Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be;


 


(ii)   to the Servicer, any Payment Date Advance Reimbursement;


 


(iii)   to the Servicer, amounts due in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees;


 


(iv)   to the Noteholders for the payments of interest which is due and unpaid on the Notes (including any overdue interest, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, interest on any overdue interest at the applicable Overdue Interest Rate);


 


(v)   to the Class A-1 Notes, in payment of the principal amount due and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes, until paid in full;


 


(vi)   to the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, pro rata, in payment of the principal amount due and unpaid on such Notes; and


 


(vii)   to the Certificateholder, any remaining amounts.


 


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


 


Section 5.05   Optional Preservation of the 2010-1 SUBI Assets.  If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Indenture 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 and continue to apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 3.01 and 8.04.  It is the intent of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such intent into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may but need not obtain (at the expense of the Issuer) 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 5.06   Limitation of Suits.


 


(a)           No holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (i) such Noteholder previously has given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of a continuing Indenture Default, (ii) Noteholders holding not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Indenture Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee, (iii) such Noteholder has offered the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request, (iv) the Indenture Trustee has for 60 days failed to institute such Proceedings and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60 day period by Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount.


 


No Noteholder or group of Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholder 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, the Indenture Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Noteholders with the greatest percentage of the Outstanding Amount, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.


 


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


 


Section 5.07   Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, any Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on, if any, such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.


 


Section 5.08   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 such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section 5.09   Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or 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, in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.10   Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Indenture Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Indenture Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.


 


Section 5.11   Control by Noteholders.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.06, 6.02(d) and 6.02(e), Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or with respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that:


 


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


 


(b)           subject to Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to, sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be made by Noteholders holding not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount;


 


(c)           if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, and except in the case of a sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 2.19 of the Servicing Agreement, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders holding less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and


 


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


 


Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action it determines might expose it to personal liability or might materially adversely affect or unduly prejudice the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.


 


Section 5.12   Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may waive any past Indenture Default and its consequences except an Indenture Default (i) in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


Upon any such waiver, such Indenture Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Indenture Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


Section 5.13   Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance 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 attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount or (iii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the related due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).


 


Section 5.14   Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 


Section 5.15   Action on Notes.  The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.  Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).


 


Section 5.16   Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.


 


(a)           Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with each such agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Servicer of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.


 


(b)           If an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Vehicle Trustee or the Servicer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement or the Servicing Supplement, as applicable, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.


 


Section 5.17   Sale of Trust Estate.  If the Indenture Trustee acts to sell the Trust Estate or any part thereof, pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Indenture Trustee shall publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee intends to effect such a sale in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids.  Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee shall, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law from any such action, sell the Trust Estate or any part thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above to the highest bidder, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.  The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Transferor and Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Transferor and Servicer shall be permitted to bid for the Trust Estate at any such sale.  The Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior determination from a conservator, receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable.  The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.17 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid.

Section 6.02   Rights of Indenture Trustee.


 


(a)           Except as provided by the second succeeding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, note, direction, demand, election or other paper or 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 the document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


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


 


(c)           The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, the Administrator, any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.


 


(d)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith 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 of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


(f)           The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture or to honor the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such request or direction; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Indenture Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill.


 


(g)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding.  The reasonable expense of each such investigation shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.


 


(h)           Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request.


 


(i)           In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Certificate Registrar or Securities Intermediary under this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents, the rights and protections afforded the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be afforded to such Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Certificate Registrar or Securities Intermediary.


 


(j)           The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.


 


(k)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the powers granted hereunder.


 


(l)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all email communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information sent by electronic mail shall be encrypted.  The recipient (the “Email Recipient”) of the encrypted email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process.  Information and assistance on registering or using the email encryption technology can be found at Citibank’s Secure Email website at www.citigroup.com/citigroup/citizen/privacy/email.htm or by calling (866) 535-2504 (in the U.S.) or (904) 954-6181 at any time.


 


Section 6.03   Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar, co-paying agent, co-trustee or separate trustee may do the same with like rights.  The Indenture Trustee must, however, comply with Section 6.11.


 


Section 6.04   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, the Trust Estate or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes and shall not be responsible for any statement in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes, all of which shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.


 


Section 6.05   Notice of Defaults.  If an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder and the Administrator notice of such Indenture Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of an Indenture Default with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption of Notes), the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders; provided, however, that in the case of any Indenture Default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d), no such notice shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.


 


Section 6.06   Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders.  The Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall deliver to each Noteholder, not later than the latest date permitted by law, such information as may be reasonably requested (and reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee) to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.


 


Section 6.07   Compensation and Indemnity.  The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account as compensation for its services hereunder.  The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to (i) reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable expenses (which shall include reasonable (and customary) out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts but shall exclude overhead), advances and disbursements reasonably incurred and (ii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the Trust or the performance of its duties.  The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be indemnified by the Administrator against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it through its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable (i) for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and (iii) for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may agree in writing.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or has received written notice thereof.


 


The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator’s indemnities 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 set forth in Section 5.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.


 


Section 6.08   Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:


 


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


 


(ii)   a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs, provided any such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of 30 consecutive days;


 


(iii)   the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or


 


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


 


Upon the resignation or required removal of the Indenture Trustee (the Indenture Trustee in any such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall be required promptly to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.  Any successor Indenture Trustee must at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, a long-term debt rating of “A” or better by or is otherwise acceptable to, each Rating Agency and satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. Additionally, prior to the appointment of any successor Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agency Condition must be satisfied with respect to such successor Indenture Trustee.


 


A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.  The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.


 


If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.


 


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


 


Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.  Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the retiring Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts as such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 6.07.  Any costs associated with the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee shall be paid by the Servicer, in its capacity as Administrator.


 


Section 6.09   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 depository institution the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or depository institution shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.  The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator written notice of any such transaction within 30 days of such consolidation or merger.


 


In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated, and in case at that time the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee, and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.


 


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 at its own expense one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate or any part hereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08.


 


(b)           Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:


 


(i)   all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being intended that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;


 


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


 


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


 


(c)           Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article.  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 and specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.


 


(d)           Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.


 


Section 6.11   Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA and shall in addition 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 a long-term debt rating of “A” or better by, or be otherwise acceptable to, each Rating Agency.  The Indenture Trustee shall satisfy the requirements of Section 310(b) of the TIA.  The Transferor, the Administrator, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relationships with the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates, but neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may serve as Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 6.12   Indenture Trustee as Holder of 2010-1 SUBI Certificate.  Following the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Default, to the extent that the Owner Trustee or Issuer has rights as a Holder of the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate, including rights to distributions and notice, or is entitled to consent to any actions taken by the Transferor, the Owner Trustee or Issuer may initiate such action or grant such consent only with consent of the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Noteholders as provided in the following sentence.  Following the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise rights as a Holder of the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate or the right to consent or withhold consent with respect to actions taken by the Transferor, the Owner Trustee or Issuer, upon the written direction of holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount; unless otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, including the requirement that any direction to the Indenture Trustee to remove or replace the Servicer upon a Servicer Default shall be made by Noteholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount.

REDEMPTION OF NOTES


 


Section 10.01   Redemption.


 


(a)           Pursuant to Section 2.19 of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be permitted at its option to purchase the interest in the 2010-1 SUBI evidenced by the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate from the Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving effect to any payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the Note Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Initial Note Balance.  The purchase price for the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate shall equal the unpaid principal balances of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date (the “Optional Purchase Price”), which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the 2010-1 SUBI Collection Account on the Deposit Date relating to the Redemption Date.  In connection with an Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed on the Redemption Date in whole, but not in part, for the Redemption Price.


 


(b)           If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, the Paying Agent shall transfer the Optional Purchase Price, as part of the Available Funds from the 2010-1 SUBI Collection Account, to the Note Distribution Account in an amount equal to the Redemption Price.


 


(c)           If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Administrator or the Issuer shall provide at least 20 days’ prior notice of the redemption of the Notes to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall provide at least 10 days’ notice thereof to the Noteholders.


 


Section 10.02   Form of Redemption Notice.  Notice of redemption under Section 10.01 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed to each holder of Notes as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date at such holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.  In addition, the Administrator shall make notice available to each Rating Agency upon the redemption of the Notes, pursuant to the Issuer Administration Agreement.


 


All notices of redemption shall state:


 


(a)           the Redemption Date;


 


(b)           the Redemption Price;


 


(c)           the place where the Notes to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and


 


(d)           that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Note and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date.


 


Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.  Failure to give notice of redemption (or any defect therein) to any Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.


 


Section 10.03   Notes Payable on Redemption Date.  The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.02, become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

Section 11.01   Compliance Certificates and Opinions.


 


(a)           Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and shall make available to each Rating Agency (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.


 


Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:


 


(i)   a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;


 


(ii)   a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;


 


(iii)   a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(b)           In addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture:


 


(i)   Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.


 


(ii)   Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of the property or securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current calendar year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause, is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Outstanding Amount.


 


(iii)   Other than with respect to any release described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such Person, the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.


 


(iv)   Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, or securities (other than property described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v)) released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the Officer’s Certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause, equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount, but such Officer’s Certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Outstanding Amount.


 


(v)   Notwithstanding Section 2.08 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.


 


Section 11.02   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 may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel.  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 Administrator, the Transferor or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Administrator, the Transferor or the Issuer.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 11.03   Acts of Noteholders.


 


(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the holder of any Note shall bind the holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.


 


Section 11.04   Notices.  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by telecopier, and addressed in each case as follows: (i) if to the Issuer c/o the Owner Trustee, at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1600, Attention: Corporate Capital Markets, with a copy to the Administrator, at 300 Chestnut Ridge Road, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677, Attention: General Counsel, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Reed Auerbach, Esq., Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022; (ii) if to the Indenture Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office; (iii) if to Fitch, to Fitch, Inc., One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004, Email: notifications.abs@fitchratings.com, Fax: 212-514-9879, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance; (iv) if to Moody’s, to ABS/RMBS Monitoring Department, 25th Floor, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007, Email: ServicerReports@moodys.com, Fax: 212-298-7139;  or (v) at such other address as shall be designated by any of the foregoing in a written notice to the other parties hereto.  Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder.


 


Section 11.05   Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest and not earlier than the earliest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.


 


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


 


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


 


Where this Indenture provides that notice be made available to each Rating Agency, notice will be made available to the Rating Agencies by the Administrator and failure to make such notice available shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Indenture Default.


 


Section 11.06   Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.


 


Section 11.07   Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.  All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.


 


Section 11.08   Severability.  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section 11.09   Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders (and, with respect to Sections 8.03 and 8.04, the Trust Certificateholders), the Owner Trustee, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


 


Section 11.10   Legal Holidays.  In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date except in the case of the Class A-1 Notes.


 


Section 11.11   Governing Law.  This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law provisions other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.


 


Section 11.12   Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


Section 11.13   Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.


 


Section 11.14   Trust Obligation.  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Trust Certificateholder, (iii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iv) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Trust Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.  For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.


 


Section 11.15   No Petition.  The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations and payments under the Securitized Financing have been paid in full, they will not (and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not have the power to) institute against, or join any Person in instituting against any Noteholder, any Note Owner, the UTI Beneficiary (and the general partner of the UTI Beneficiary that is a partnership, or the managing member of the UTI Beneficiary that is a limited liability company), the Vehicle Trustee, the Vehicle Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate (and the general partner of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a partnership, or the managing member of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a limited liability company) that holds a beneficial interest in the Vehicle Trust, the Transferor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the same, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.


 


Section 11.16   No Recourse.  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 no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, 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 entity.


 


Section 11.17   Inspection.  The Issuer agrees that on reasonable prior notice it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’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, except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.


 


Section 11.18   Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been countersigned by Wilmington Trust Company not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the priorities set forth herein.  For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.


 


Section 11.19   TIA Incorporation and Conflicts.  The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.


 


Section 11.20   Intent.  It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness for all financial accounting and tax purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of a Note (by virtue of the acquisition of such Note of an interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed, to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all financial accounting and tax purposes.


 


Section 11.21   Intent of Parties; Reasonableness.  The Indenture Trustee and Issuer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 3.09 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.


 


Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator (acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act).  Each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation AB and (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, or consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, and the parties shall comply with reasonable requests made by the Issuer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee in good faith for delivery of additional or different information to the extent such information is freely available and deliverable (provided that, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee, such additional or different information is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB).


 


The Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the reasonable judgment or the Issuer to comply with Regulation AB.


 


Section 11.22   Communications with Rating Agencies.   If the Indenture Trustee shall receive any written or oral communication from any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee agrees to refrain from communicating with such Rating Agency and to promptly (and, in any event, within one Business Day) notify the Administrator of such communication.  The Indenture Trustee agrees to act at the direction of the Administrator with respect to any communication to a Rating Agency and further agrees that in no event shall the Indenture Trustee engage in any oral communication with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes with any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) without the participation of the Administrator.

SCHEDULE I


 


PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


 


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


 


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


 


(2)           The 2010-1 SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Accounts and all subaccounts thereof, constitute either deposit accounts or securities accounts.

(11)           With respect to Collateral that constitutes certificated securities (other than securities entitlements), all original executed copies of each security certificate that constitutes or evidences the Collateral have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and each such security certificate either (i) is in bearer form, (ii) has been indorsed by an effective indorsement to the Indenture Trustee or in blank, or (iii) has been registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee.  Other than the transfer of the 2010-1 SUBI and the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate from the UTI Beneficiary to the Depositor under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the transfer of the 2010-1 SUBI and the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate from the Depositor to the Issuer under the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, none of the UTI Beneficiary, the Depositor or the Issuer has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral or the Accounts or any subaccounts thereof. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral or the Accounts or any subaccount thereof other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.


 


(12)           None of the instruments, certificated securities or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.


 


(13)           Neither the Accounts nor any subaccounts thereof are in the name of any person other than the Issuer Entity or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer Entity has not consented to the securities intermediary of any Account to comply with entitlement orders of any person other than the Indenture Trustee.


 


As used in this Schedule I, “Collateral” has the meaning set forth in the Granting Clause of the Indenture.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]


 


This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “ [_______]% Asset Backed Notes, Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4]” (herein called the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of [_______], [___] (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and [____________], 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.


 


The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. However, to the extent provided in the Indenture, each Class will receive principal payment sequentially so no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-2 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-3 Notes until the Class A-2 Notes have been paid in full and no principal payments shall be made in respect of the Class A-4 Notes until the Class A-3 Notes have been paid in full.


 


Principal payable on the Notes will be paid on each Payment Date in the amount specified in the Indenture. As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Note Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable following the occurrence and continuance of an Indenture Default, as described in the Indenture.  In such an event, principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made first and until paid in full and principal payments on the remaining Classes of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto.


 


Payments of principal and interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the registered holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by any payments made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date or Redemption Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the registered holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date or Redemption Date by notice mailed within five days of such Payment Date or Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.


 


As provided in the Indenture, the Servicer will be permitted at its option to purchase the interest in the 2010-1 SUBI evidenced by the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate from the Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving effect to any payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the Note Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Initial Note Balance. The purchase price for the 2010-1 SUBI Certificate shall equal the unpaid principal balances of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date (the “Optional Purchase Price”), which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the 2010-1 SUBI Collection Account on the Deposit Date relating to the Redemption Date.  In connection with an Optional Purchase, this Note will be redeemed on such Payment Date in whole, but not in part, for the Redemption Price.


 


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


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 no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, 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 entity.


 


It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness for all financial accounting and tax purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of this Note (by virtue of the acquisition of this Note or an interest herein) shall be deemed to have agreed, to treat this Note as indebtedness for all financial accounting and tax purposes.


 


This Note represents an obligation of the Issuer only and does not represent an interest in, recourse to or an obligation of either the Transferor, the UTI Beneficiary or any of their respective Affiliates.


 


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting this Note or in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations and payments under the Securitized Financing have been paid in full, they will not (and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not have the power to) institute against, or join any Person in instituting against any Noteholder, any Note Owner, the UTI Beneficiary (and the general partner of the UTI Beneficiary that is a partnership, or the managing member of the UTI Beneficiary that is a limited liability company), the Vehicle Trustee, the Vehicle Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate (and the general partner of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a partnership, or the managing member of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a limited liability company) that holds a beneficial interest in the Vehicle Trust, the Transferor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the same, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.


 


Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


This Note, or any interest therein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any governmental or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and covenants that its purchase and holding of this note (i) is and will be eligible for, and satisfies and will satisfy all the requirements of, Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTE”) 90-1; PTE 96-23; PTE 95-60; PTE 91-38; PTE 84-14 or another applicable prohibited transaction exemption or (ii) in the case of a governmental or church plan, does not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction or cause a non-exempt violation of any applicable law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may relay conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.


 


The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.


 


This Note is issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.


 


This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law provisions other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
