7











  













their execution thereof.  Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.


 


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


 


Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2 and Exhibit A-3 are part of the terms of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 2.02  Execution, Authentication and Delivery.  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers.  The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.  Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.  The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver the Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $495,000,000, the Class A-2 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $307,700,000, the Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $347,100,000, the Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $100,200,000 and the Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $44,400,000.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of Definitive

SECTION 2.04  Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as provided in this Indenture.  In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee notifies the Issuer that it is unable to act as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to act as successor Note Registrar under this Indenture.  The Issuer shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof.


 


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


 


(b)           [Reserved].


 


(c)           [Reserved].


 


(d)           Upon the proper surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.


 


(e)           At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(g)           All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed pursuant to Section 2.08.


 


(h)           Each purchaser and transferee of a Note will be deemed to represent, warrant and covenant either that (a) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets of a Benefit Plan or (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation under any other substantially similar law.


 


(i)           The Retained Notes transferred after the first Payment Date will not be transferred, other than to a Person that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and provided that such Person agrees to restrict subsequent transfers of such Notes to Persons that are United States persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless a written Opinion of Counsel, which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, is delivered to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes, such Notes after such transfer will be treated as debt.


 


SECTION 2.05  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class.  In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.


 


If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection 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


 










  





10











  













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


 


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


 


SECTION 2.06  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 2.07  Payments of Principal and Interest.


 


(a)           The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period at the Class A-1 Rate, the Class A-2 Rate, the Class A-3 Rate, the Class A-4 Rate and the Class B Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each related Payment Date as specified in such Notes, pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 hereof.  Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Person.


 


(b)           The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and subject to the availability of funds therefor.  All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto.  In accordance with Section 10.01, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid.  Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to such final Payment Date, shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.


 


(c)           In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to the Noteholders, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholders in accordance with this Section.  The Issuer will instruct the Indenture Trustee regarding the imposition of such withholding tax and, upon receiving such instruction, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).  The amount of any withholding


 










  





11











  













tax imposed with respect to the Noteholders shall be treated as cash distributed to the Noteholders at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.  If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c).  In the event that any Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Noteholder in making such claim so long as the Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.


 


SECTION 2.08  Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee.

No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.09  Release of Collateral.  Subject to Sections 10.01 and 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 accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.

12











  













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


 


(e)           whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or the Controlling Class of Notes) evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or of any Controlling Class or of such Class or of two or more of such Classes, 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 of Book-Entry Notes and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in such Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.11  Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the Note Owners of Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Notes to the Clearing Agency and shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery to the Clearing Agency.

In the case of the Book-Entry Notes, if (i) the Owner Trustee or the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Owner Trustee and the Administrator are unable to locate a qualified successor (and if the Administrator has made such determination, the Administrator has given written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee), (ii) the Seller or the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee at its option advises each other such party in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of the Book-Entry Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or a successor thereto is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners acting together as a single Class, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  None of the Issuer, 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


 










  





13











  













protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.  None of the Indenture Trustee, Issuer or Administrator shall be liable for any inability to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.  From and after the date of issuance of Definitive Notes, all notices to be given to Noteholders will be mailed thereto at their addresses of record in the Note Register as of the relevant Record Date.

The Indenture Trustee, as Paying Agent, hereby agrees with the Issuer that it will, and the Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, as a condition to its acceptance of its appointment as Paying Agent, to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:


 


(a)           hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes, the Certificate, or for release to the Issuer for payment to the Certificateholder 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 or release such sums to such Persons as herein provided;


 


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


 










  





15











  













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


 


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


 


(e)           comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes, or the Certificate (or assisting the Issuer to withhold from payment to the Certificateholder) 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 the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.


 


In the event that any Noteholder shall not surrender its Notes for retirement within six months after the date specified in the written notice of final payment described in Section 2.07, the Indenture will give a second written notice to the registered Noteholders that have not surrendered their Notes for final payment and retirement.  If within one year after such second notice any Notes have not been surrendered, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the expense and direction 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to California Special Olympics.  The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment specified by the Issuer or the Administrator.


 


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


 


SECTION 3.05  Protection of Trust Estate.  The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver or file, as applicable, all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:


 










  





16











  













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


 


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


 


(c)           enforce any of the Collateral; or


 


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


 


The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.


 


SECTION 3.06  Opinions as to Trust Estate.


 


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


 


(b)           As and when specified in Section 10.02(h) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other requisite documents necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other documents that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until the date in the following calendar year on which such Opinion of Counsel must again be delivered.


 


SECTION 3.07  Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.


 


(a)           The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any 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 in each case as expressly provided in the Basic Documents.


 










  





17











  













(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 Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.


 


(c)           The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of the Trust Agreement, this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.


 


(d)           If an Authorized Officer of the Issuer shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default, and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Administrator of such Servicer Default and proposed actions of the Issuer, and the Administrator shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.  If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.


 


(e)           As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or if the Servicer resigns in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice of such event to the Noteholders and the Administrator and the Administrator shall provide such notice to the Rating Agencies.  The Indenture Trustee shall act to appoint a successor servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (any such successor servicer, a “Successor Servicer”).  Any such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.  In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and shall thereafter be entitled to the Servicing Fee.  Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.


 


In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in


 










  





18











  













accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee).  If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables.  In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint a subservicer; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, shall remain fully liable for the actions and omissions of such subservicer.


 


(f)           Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not enter into any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver with respect to any Basic Document except (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder or to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder; (ii) for the purpose of changing the formula or percentage for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance, but not to change any order of priority of payments and distributions specified in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement), changing the remittance schedule for the deposit of collections with respect to the Receivables in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or changing the definition of Eligible Investment, in each case only if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect thereof; or (iii) with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to such action set forth in the related Basic Document.  If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, as applicable, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to agree to such amendment and to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances to implement such amendment and to cause the relevant Basic Documents, as amended, to be enforceable against the Issuer.


 


SECTION 3.08  Negative Covenants.  So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:


 


(a)           except as expressly permitted by Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;


 










  





19











  













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


 


(c)           except as may be expressly permitted hereby and by the Basic Documents, (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the liens of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor), (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate or (D) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part; or


 


(d)           assume or incur any indebtedness other than the Notes, or other than as expressly contemplated by this Indenture (in connection with the obligation to pay expenses from the Trust Estate) or by the Basic Documents as in effect on the date hereof.


 


SECTION 3.09  Annual Statement as to Compliance.


 


(a)           The Issuer will cause the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee concurrently with its delivery thereof to the Issuer the annual statement of compliance described in Section 4.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b)           On or before March 1st of each calendar year in which a Form 10-K is required to be filed on behalf of the Issuer, commencing in 2011, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator a report regarding the Indenture Trustee’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto during the immediately preceding calendar year, accompanied by an attestation report by a registered public accounting firm, in each case as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of


 










  





20











  













Regulation AB.  Such report shall be addressed to the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer of the Indenture Trustee, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

27











  













respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class B Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date.


 


The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Default which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c), the status of such Default and any action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


SECTION 5.02  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single Class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), may, without the consent of the Certificateholder, declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.


 


At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), acting together as a single Class, without the consent of the Certificateholder, in each case, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:


 


(a)           the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:


 


(i)           all payments of principal of and interest on the respective Class of Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or in accordance with the terms of the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and


 


(ii)           all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder or by the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and their respective agents and counsel; and


 


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


 


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


 










  





28











  













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


 


(a)           The Issuer covenants that if (i) Default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to such Controlling Class of Notes, when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable (as described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 5.01 hereof), the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Class of Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.


 


(b)           In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the 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 moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.


 


(c)           If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and, incidentally thereto, the Certificateholder, 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 creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, then, 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, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:


 










  





29











  













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


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)           to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of Notes 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 of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.


 


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


 


(f)           All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes and, incidentally thereto, for the benefit of the Certificateholder.


 










  





30











  













(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 Event of Default under Section 5.01 shall have occurred and be continuing which results in the acceleration of the Notes (whether or not the Trust Estate is sold in one or more public or private sales as provided in Section 5.04(b)(iv)), and unless and until such acceleration has been rescinded, the Indenture Trustee will make payments on the Notes and the Certificate as set forth in Section 5.06(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, rather than pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


(b)           In accordance with Section 5.03, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 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 moneys 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)           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, that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class consent thereto or (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds on an ongoing basis to make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class (acting together as a single Class).  In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.  In connection with any such sale, the


 










  





31











  













Indenture Trustee will afford the Holders of each Class of Notes adequate advance notice and information as to the conduct of such sale such that any such Holders (acting individually, as Classes, as a single Class or otherwise) will be reasonably able to submit bids for the purchase of the assets to be liquidated, and that the Indenture Trustee will consider any and all such bids on the same basis that it considers any other bids submitted by any other party or parties.  The proceeds of such sale or liquidation (net of the expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the conduct thereof, which will be retained by the Indenture Trustee from such proceeds) will be treated as collections and deposited into the Collection Account by the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder in accordance with the priorities specified in Section 5.06(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  The Indenture Trustee will have no liability with respect to the amount of such proceeds or the adequacy thereof to make payments in full of any Class of Notes or the Certificate.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.05  Optional Preservation of the Receivables.  Except as provided in Section 5.04(b)(iv), if the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, unless otherwise directed by the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single Class (excluding from such action and calculation all Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and direct the Issuer, Servicer and Administrator not to take steps to liquidate the Receivables.  It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.


 


SECTION 5.06  Limitation of Suits.  No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, and:


 


(a)           the Event of Default arises from the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due or


 


(b)           the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single Class, have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity


 










  





32











  













against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request and the Indenture Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings.


 


It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.


 


SECTION 5.07  Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note (subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (in each case with reference to the calculations to be made pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.09  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.11  Control by Noteholders.  The Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single Class, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any


 










  





33











  













remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:


 


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


 


(ii)           any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than percentages of  the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the relevant Class set forth in Section 5.04 or 5.05, as applicable (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); and


 


(iii)           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 Sections 5.07 and 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines would be illegal or may not lawfully be taken, might subject it to personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial  to the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.


 


SECTION 5.12  Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 or the liquidation or sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04, the Holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class (acting together as a single Class), without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); may waive any past Default, Event of Default or Servicer Default and its consequences except a (a) Servicer Default in the deposit of collections or other required amounts into the Collection Account or Reserve Account, or (b) Default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.


 


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


 


SECTION 5.13  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note or Note Owner by such Holder’s acceptance of such Note or beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, 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


 










  





34











  













of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.


 


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.

SECTION 5.16  Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.


 


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

TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), shall exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller and the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, against the Seller under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, or against the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Servicer or the Administrator, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension, or waiver thereunder and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

The Indenture Trustee


 


SECTION 6.01  Duties of Indenture Trustee.


 


(a)           The Indenture Trustee, both prior to and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture.


 


(b)           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 conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


(c)           No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:


 


(i)           the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee, the permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this Indenture;


 


(ii)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in the absence of bad faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and


 


(iii)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in the absence of bad faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the


 










  





36











  













Notes of the Controlling Class (acting together as a single Class but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.  Moreover, if more than one Indenture Trustee has been appointed, each Indenture Trustee shall owe any and all fiduciary duties only to the Class or Classes of Notes on whose behalf it shall have been appointed.


 


(d)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.


 


(e)           All information obtained by the Indenture Trustee regarding the Obligors and the Receivables contained in the Trust, whether upon the exercise of its rights under this Indenture or otherwise, shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person, unless such disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation or pursuant to subpoena.


 


(f)           Pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 4.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in the event that a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee discovers that a representation or warranty with respect to a Receivable was incorrect as of the time specified with respect to such representation and warranty or that a covenant of the Servicer has been breached, and such incorrectness or breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee of such incorrectness.


 


SECTION 6.02  Rights of Indenture Trustee.


 


(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:


 


(i)           the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of an authorized signatory, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(ii)           the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in the absence of bad faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;


 


(iii)           the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture, or in relation to this


 










  





37











  













Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including the reasonable fees of counsel) that may be incurred therein or thereby;


 


(iv)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in the absence of bad faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(v)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to recalculate, reverify, or make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any Servicer’s Certificate, 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 Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class (acting together as a single Class but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); 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 reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Administrator or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Administrator upon demand; and nothing in this clause shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and


 


(vi)           the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under this Indenture or perform any duties under this Indenture either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian.


 


(b)           No Noteholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture except upon satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 5.06.


 


SECTION 6.03  Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the Holder, beneficial 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 or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.  However, in so doing the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.


 


SECTION 6.04  Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Notes (other than the execution by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust of, and the certificate of authentication


 










  





38











  













on, the Notes), or of the Certificate.  The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Servicer or the Administrator unless explicitly set forth in this Indenture, the Administration Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  The Indenture Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of the Notes or any Receivable, any ownership interest in any Financed Vehicle, or the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Noteholders under this Indenture, including without limitation the validity of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any Insurance Policy; the existence and contents of any retail installment sales contract or any computer or other record thereof; the completeness of any retail installment sales contract; the performance or enforcement of any retail installment sales contract; the compliance by the Issuer with any covenant or the breach by the Issuer, Seller or Servicer of any warranty or representation made under this Indenture or in any Basic Document or other related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the Issuer, Seller or the Servicer; or any action by the Indenture Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Indenture.  Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties under this Indenture or based on the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Certificate or assignment thereof against the institution serving as the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity.  The Indenture Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Noteholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Issuer or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Notes.  Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 


SECTION 6.05  Notice of Defaults.  If a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of such Default within 90 days of the discovery thereof.  Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in the absence of bad faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.


 


SECTION 6.06  Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.  The Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.


 










  





39











  













SECTION 6.07  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall pay or shall cause the Servicer to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.  The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will indemnify or will cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.  The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Administrator and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Administrator and the Servicer shall not relieve the Administrator or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder.  In case any such action is brought against the Indenture Trustee under this Section 6.07 and it notifies the Administrator of the commencement thereof, the Administrator will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Administrator), and neither the Administrator nor the Servicer will be liable to the Indenture Trustee under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.  Neither the Administrator nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.


 


The Administrator’s, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and shall extend to any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.10.  When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or (f) or the Seller incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller, 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 providing written notice of its resignation to each Rating Agency and the Issuer.  The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, may remove the Indenture Trustee if:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally or practically incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder.


 










  





40











  













If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.  No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.


 


A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer and to the Administrator.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.


 


If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class 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 at any time thereafter petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.


 


Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s, the Servicer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.


 


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 Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee if such surviving Person or transferee corporation or bank shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.  The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies reasonable prior written notice of any such transaction.


 


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


 










  





41











  













(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, 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 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 hereof.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 










  





42











  













any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.


 


SECTION 6.11  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a).  The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it or its parent shall have a long-term debt rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s or shall otherwise be acceptable to Moody’s.  The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.


 


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


 


SECTION 6.13  Indenture Trustee as Paying Agent, Note Registrar and Securities Intermediary.

Noteholders’ Lists and Reports


 


SECTION 7.01  Note Registrar To Furnish Names and Addresses of Noteholders.  The Note Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Servicer or Administrator, within 15 days after receipt by the Note Registrar of a written request therefrom, a list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of any Class as of the most recent Record Date.  If three or more Holders of Notes of any Class, or one or more Holders of such Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”), apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants access, during normal business hours, to the current list of Noteholders.  The Indenture Trustee may elect not to afford the requesting Noteholders access to the list of Noteholders if it agrees to mail the desired communication by proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of the requesting Noteholders, to all Noteholders.  Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such


 










  





43











  













information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders under this Indenture, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.


 


If the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be the Note Registrar, then thereafter the Administrator will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee not more than five days after the most recent Record Date or at such other times as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may request in writing, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of such Record Date.


 


SECTION 7.02  Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.

(ii)           file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

SECTION 8.04  General Provisions Regarding Accounts.


 










  





45











  













(a)           So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer as servicing compensation on each Payment Date, and any loss resulting from such investments in excess of such income or gain (against which such losses will first be applied) shall be charged to such account.  The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.


 


(b)           So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee (by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of appropriate Entitlement Orders) at the written direction of the Seller, subject to the provisions of Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the provisions of the Securities Account Control Agreement.  All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Reserve Account shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee to the Seller (by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of appropriate Entitlement Orders) on each Payment Date (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in an acceleration of the Notes that has not been rescinded under the Indenture and (ii) for so long as a Suspension Period (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement) is not continuing on such Payment Date, and such amounts paid to the Seller shall be released from the security interest of the Indenture Trustee and paid to the Seller on such Payment Date and shall not be available for payment of any other amounts due to the Noteholders or any other party.  Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the property of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.  The Seller will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible Investments, but not the income from such investments) in the Reserve Account (including the Reserve Account Initial Deposit) and the proceeds thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto; provided, that, (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that results in an acceleration of the Notes that has not been rescinded under the Indenture and (ii) for so long as a Suspension Period (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement) is not continuing on such Payment Date, all income from the investment of funds in the Reserve Account and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder.  The Seller will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Reserve Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any


 










  





46











  













such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.


 


(c)           Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account or Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein at the direction of the Servicer or Seller, as the case may be, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with the terms thereof.


 


(d)           If (i) the Servicer or Seller shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Reserve Account, as the case may be, to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clause (h) of the definition of Eligible Investments provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


SECTION 8.05  Release of Trust Estate.


 


(a)           Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in such property, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture.  No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.


 


(b)           The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to or to the order of the Issuer or, in the case of the Reserve Account, to the Seller, any funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and Reserve Account, as the case may be.  The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.


 


SECTION 8.06  Opinion of Counsel.  The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven days notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.05(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the


 










  





47











  













Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate.  Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in the absence of bad faith.


 


It shall not be necessary for any Action of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Action shall approve the substance thereof.


 


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

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with Sections 9.01 and 9.02 above, may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the

(b)           Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Noteholders must surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final distribution and retirement of the Notes, shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Administrator) by letter to Noteholders mailed not later than the 15th day and not earlier than the 30th day prior to the date on which such final distribution is expected to occur specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which final payment of the Notes shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein specified, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) if applicable, that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

(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, upon written request therefor from the Indenture Trustee, furnish to the Indenture Trustee (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, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, 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 such written request from the Indenture Trustee need be furnished (and only such expressly required documents need be delivered in connection therewith).


 


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 or has caused to be 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


 


(iv)           a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.


 


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

53











  













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 one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.


 


(d)           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.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 11.03  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.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, at the following address: Standard &  Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.


 


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) (a) in the case of Book-Entry Notes, upon delivery to the Clearing Agency in writing and (b) in the case of Definitive Notes, when mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, in each case being delivered or mailed, as the case may be, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 11.06  Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices.  The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.07  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.


 


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


 


SECTION 11.08  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 11.10  Severability.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes or the Certificate or the rights of the Holders thereof.


 


SECTION 11.11  Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


 


SECTION 11.12  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 conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.  Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction.


 


SECTION 11.13  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or the Certificate 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 Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Certificateholder or other owner 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 (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their capacities as such, 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 VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.


 


SECTION 11.16  No Petition.  The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or the Seller to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or the Seller under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or the Seller, as the case may be, or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or the Seller, in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates, this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date on which this Indenture is terminated.  This Section 11.16 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the termination of the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement.

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 (at the expense of the requesting party) 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 that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.


 


SECTION 11.18  Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.  The Indenture Trustee and Issuer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections 3.09 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Seller 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).  The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.  In connection with this transaction, the Indenture Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) to deliver to the Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) to permit the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Indenture Trustee, any Subservicer and the Receivables, or the servicing of the Receivables, reasonably believed by the Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.


 


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.

SCHEDULE I


 


PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS


 


 


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


 


General


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Creation


 


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


 


Perfection


 


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


 


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


 










  





S-1











  








 


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


 


(ii)           such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee; or


 


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


 


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


 


 (i)           the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or


 


 (ii)           the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of such Trust Accounts.


 


          9.       With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:


 


 (i)           the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or


 


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


 


Priority


 


          10.     The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and, other than the Hlista Financing Statement, is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by TMCC to the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or (iv) that has been terminated.


 


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


 


          12.     Neither the Issuer nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such


 










  





S-2











  













 


term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer.


 


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


 


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


 


          15.       No Trust Account that constitutes a deposit account is in the name of any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the bank maintaining such Trust Account to comply with instructions of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.


 


Survival of Perfection Representations


 


          16.       Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or any other Basic Document, the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule I shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.


 


No Waiver


 


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


 


Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority


 


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

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its [___]% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued 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 Holders of the Notes.  The Class A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.


 


The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the “Class A Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.  The Class B Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, and are secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.


 


Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described in the Indenture.  “Payment Date” means the 15th day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in October 2010.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable (i) on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single class (but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture, (ii) following the termination or liquidation of the Trust Estate in connection with the exercise by the Servicer of its option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.02 of the Indenture or (iii) within 90 days of certain Insolvency Events with respect to TAFR LLC.  If any such event occurs, all principal payments on the Notes will be made first, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, second, pro rata, based upon their respective unpaid principal balance, to Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes until each such Class of the Notes has been paid in full, and third, to the Class B Notes until the Class B Notes have been paid in full.


 


Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered in the Note Register on the Record Date.  Such payment will be made to such Person’s as appears on the Note Register on such Record Date by wire transfer to the account specified by the registered holder of any Note with a face amount of at least $10,000,000.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable (i) on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single class (but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture, (ii) following the termination or liquidation of the Trust Estate in connection with the exercise by the Servicer of its option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.02 of the Indenture or (iii) within 90 days of certain Insolvency Events with respect to TAFR LLC.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class B (herein called the “Class B Notes”), all issued 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 Holders of the Notes.  The Class B Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.


 


The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the “Class A Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.  The Class B Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, and are secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.


 


Principal of the Class B Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described in the Indenture.  “Payment Date” means the 15th day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in October 2010.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable (i) on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, acting together as a single class (but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture, (ii) following the termination or liquidation of the Trust Estate in connection with the exercise by the Servicer of its option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.02 of the Indenture or (iii) within 90 days of certain Insolvency Events with respect to TAFR LLC.  If any such event occurs, all principal payments on the Notes will be made first, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, second, pro rata, based upon their respective unpaid principal balance, to Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes until each such Class of the Notes has been paid in full, and third, to the Class B Notes until the Class B Notes have been paid in full.


 


Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered in the Note Register on the Record Date.  With respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date, which shall be payable as provided below.  Such payment will be made to such Person as appears on the Note Register on such Record Date by wire transfer to the account specified by the registered holder of any Note with a face amount of at least $10,000,000.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration


 










  





A-2-16  











  













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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment 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 by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.


 


The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class B Rate to the extent lawful.


 


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, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee as set forth in Section 2.04 of the Indenture, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Noteholder 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 (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their capacities as such, 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.  The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.


 


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 by accepting the benefits of the


 










  





A-2-17  











  













Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller or  the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.


 


The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate.  Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.


 


Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


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 Holders of the Notes under the Indenture, in some cases without the consent of the Holders of any Class of Notes and in other cases with the consent of Holders of only the Controlling Class of Notes.  Section 5.12 of the Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, as specified therein, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Classes, 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 Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and 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 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 Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.


 


The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.


 


The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.


 


The Notes are 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 conflict of law provisions (other than


 










  





A-2-18  











  













Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Schedule A


(To Issuer Letter of Representations)












SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE


DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE


(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)


 


1.           The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]


 


2.           DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.


 


3.           Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.


 


4.           To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.


 


5.           Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]


 


[6.           Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]


 


7.           Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).


 


8.           Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.


 


[9.           A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]


 


10.           DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.


 


11.           Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.


 


         12.          The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
