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



     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
Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3 are part of the terms of this Indenture.



     The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is limited to $618,399,000 of Notes, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to
Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 9.5. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered
form and only in minimum denominations of at least $1,000; provided that the foregoing
shall not restrict or prevent the transfer in accordance with Section 2.4 of any Note
having an Outstanding Principal Balance of other than an integral multiple of $1,000, or the
issuance of a single Note of each Class, with a denomination less than $1,000.



     SECTION 2.2. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. (a) 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.



     (b) Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at the time of
signature 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.



     (c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in
the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of
its authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.



     (d) The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture
Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Request to the Indenture Trustee directing the
authentication and delivery of such Notes and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Request.



     SECTION 2.3. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer
may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate



20









 







and deliver, temporary Notes of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such variations not inconsistent with this Indenture as the officers executing such
Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.



     If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be
exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of
the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder.
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 Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as if they were Definitive
Notes.



     SECTION 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer
shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the
registration of transfers of Notes. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the
initial “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein
provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor or, if it is unable to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.



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



     The Indenture Trustee shall not register the purchase or transfer of any Note (other than the
transfer of a Note to the nominee of the Clearing Agency) unless the transferee has executed and
delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certification to the effect that either (i) the transferee is
not acquiring and will not hold any Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan”
(as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (as defined
in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity that
is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan or plan (each of the foregoing,
a "Benefit Plan”) or (d) any governmental plan, non-U.S. plan or church plan that is subject to any
law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) (x) such Note is
rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization
at the time of purchase or transfer and (y) the transferee’s acquisition and continued holding of
the Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code or result in a nonexempt violation of any substantially similar applicable law. Each
transferee of a Book-Entry Note shall be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations.



     (b) Subject to Section 2.4(a), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note
at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the
requirements



21









 







of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other
new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer
shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the
Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The
Indenture Trustee shall make a notation on any such new Note of the amount of principal, if any,
that has been paid on such Note.



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



     (d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by, the Noteholder thereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with
such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the
Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be
determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance
with the Securities Exchange Act.



     (e) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee will require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3
or 9.5.



     SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. (a) If: (i) any mutilated
Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the
Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and the
Issuer to hold the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, respectively, 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, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of
the UCC are met, 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 and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven days shall be, due and
payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the
Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note



22









 




(or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was
issued presents for payment such original Note, the 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 payment made) or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection
therewith.




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



     (c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.



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



     SECTION 2.6. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Note, the 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, whether or not such Note be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) Any
installment of interest or principal, if any, 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 check mailed
first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such
Record Date. However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued, with respect to Notes registered
on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be
Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee. Notwithstanding the above, the final installment of principal payable
with respect to such Note (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption
pursuant to Section 10.1) shall be payable as provided in clause (b)(ii). The
funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with
Section 6.16.



23









 





     (b) (i) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as
provided in Section 8.3.




     (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire Outstanding Principal Balance
shall be due and payable on: (A) the date on which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have
declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 5.2, and (B) if any Notes remain Outstanding, the Maturity Date.




     (iii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, no part of the
principal of any Note shall be paid prior to the Payment Date on which such
principal is due in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section, except
that the Issuer may redeem the Notes in their entirety in accordance with
Section 10.1.




     (iv) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is
registered at the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding
the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal
of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed no later
than five days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final
installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and
shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment
of such installment.




     (v) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments of
installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all holders
of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
exchange therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such
Note. All payments on the Notes shall be made without any requirement of
presentment but each holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree, by its acceptance
of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office against payment of
the final installment of principal of such Note.



     (c) (i) For each Payment Date, the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A-1
Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes will be
the interest that has accrued on the respective Notes since the last Payment Date or, in the case
of the first Payment Date, since the Closing Date, at the Class A-1 Interest Rate, Class A-2
Interest Rate, Class A-3 Interest Rate, Class A-4 Interest Rate, Class B Interest Rate and Class C
Interest Rate, respectively, applied to the then Outstanding Principal Balances of the Class A-1
Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes and, as applicable, the
Class C Notes, respectively, on the preceding Payment Date subject to Section 3.1. With
respect to the Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes), the interest will be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. With respect to the Class A-1 Notes, the interest will
be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period
and a 360 day year.



24









 






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



     (d) All payments made with respect to any Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts and shall be applied first to the interest then due and payable on such Notes and
then to the principal thereof.



     SECTION 2.8. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of
transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office and shall
be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly 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 returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not
been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.



     SECTION 2.9. Book-Entry Notes. Each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the
Class C Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing

Notes and the Class C Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede
& Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Class A
Note Owner, Class B Note Owner or Class C Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing
such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and
until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) representing the Class A Notes,
the Class B Notes or the Class C Notes have been issued to the applicable Note Owners:




     (i) the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee, and their
officers, directors, employees and agents may deal with the Clearing Agency for all

the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes) as the sole Noteholder and shall have no
obligations to the Note Owners;



25









 






     (ii) to the extent that this Section conflicts with any other provisions of

the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to
those established by law and agreements between such respective Note Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to this Indenture.
Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the
Issuer intends that the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the
Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
interest on the related Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, as the case
may be, to such Clearing Agency Participants (and neither the Indenture Trustee nor
the Note Registrar shall have any liability therefor); and




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



     SECTION 2.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to
the Class A Noteholders, Class B Noteholders or Class C Noteholders is required under this
Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the related Note Owners, the
Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.



     SECTION 2.11. Definitive Notes. (a) If: (i) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee
in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer is unable to locate
a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of a notice of intent from the Clearing Agency,
the participants holding beneficial interests in the Notes agree to initiate a termination or (iii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Indenture
Trustee shall notify all Note Owners 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 and transfer instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, 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



26









 







and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon
the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Issuer, to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Issuer shall recognize the
holders of the relevant Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.



     (b) Definitive Notes will not be eligible for clearing or settlement through DTC, Euroclear or
Clearstream.



     SECTION 2.12. Notes owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates. In determining whether the
Noteholders of the required Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be
considered as though not Outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the
Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes which a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.



     SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Indenture Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of
the Notes in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to Noteholders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
redemption and related materials.



     SECTION 2.14. Perfection Representations and Warranties. The parties hereto agree
that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Schedule 1 shall be a part
of this Indenture for all purposes.



     SECTION 2.15. Notes to Constitute Indebtedness. The parties hereto agree that it is
their mutual intent that, for all applicable tax purposes, the Notes will constitute indebtedness
of the Issuer. Further, each party hereto and each Noteholder (by accepting and holding a Note)
hereby covenants to every other party hereto and to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as
indebtedness for all applicable tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and returns and otherwise,
and further covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take, or participate in the
taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Notes as
indebtedness for tax purposes. All successors and assignees of the parties hereto shall be bound
by the provisions hereof.

     (b) On or before April 1 in each calendar year, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has
been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any

supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements, that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the Lien of this Indenture until April 1 in the following calendar year.



     SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Loans. (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 material covenants or obligations under any instrument or
agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such
instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or
such other instrument or agreement.



     (b) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements
contained in this Indenture, the other Related Documents and in the instruments and agreements
included in the Collateral, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements
and continuation statements required to be filed by this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement in
accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.



     (c) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will enforce the obligations of the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and if a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of
the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with respect
to the Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.



     (d) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that: (i) it shall promptly exercise its rights to
terminate the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in clause (a) of such section and (ii) prior to
exercising its rights to terminate the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing
Agreement upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in clause (b) of such section, obtain
the consent of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Notes. Within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the
Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), such appointment to be reflected by
a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor
Servicer



29









 







has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the previous Servicer
ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be
appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving
written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such
duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a Successor Servicer enters
into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to
the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall: (i) be an established
financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business
includes the servicing of receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer
having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Servicing Agreement applicable to
the Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s duties as servicer
of the Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity
as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable
to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Loans.
In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement,
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates;
provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in
its capacity as Successor Servicer.



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



     (f) The Issuer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance, amend,
modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification,
supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent
otherwise in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies) or the Related Documents, or waive
timely performance or observance by the Purchaser under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the
applicable Seller under the Sale Agreement or the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement;
provided, that, no such amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, deposits required to be made to the
Trust Accounts and payments that are required to be made from the Trust Accounts for the benefit of
the Noteholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that are required to consent
to any such amendment, in either case without the consent of the Noteholders of all the Outstanding
Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the
Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the
Indenture Trustee to do so, 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.



     (g) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Issuer’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 Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer
under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement or by the Purchaser of its obligations



30









 







to the Issuer under or in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement in accordance with
the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully
available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement (or under or in
connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement) to the extent and in the manner directed by the
Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Servicer or
the Purchaser thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to
compel or secure performance by the Servicer or the Purchaser of each of their obligations under
the Servicing Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

against its assets, properties or income, including any property that is part of the Collateral.



     SECTION 3.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, on or before the 90th day after the end of each calendar year of the
Issuer (commencing with the calendar year 2009), an Officers’ Certificate, substantially in the
form of Exhibit B, stating that:




     (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of
performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officers’
supervision; and




     (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officers’ knowledge, based on such review,
the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture
throughout such year or, if there has been a default in the compliance of any such
condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to such Authorized
Officers and the nature and status thereof.

Act). The Indenture Trustee agrees to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request by the
Purchaser or the Issuer for information regarding the Indenture Trustee, including but not limited

Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee’s obligations under this Indenture.



     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and the Issuer, as of

delivery by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture, the performance by the Indenture Trustee

Indenture Trustee contemplated hereby, cause the Indenture Trustee to be in violation of (x) any
indenture, mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease,

is bound, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee’s ability
to perform its obligations under this Indenture, or (y) of any judgment or order applicable to the
Indenture Trustee; and (ii) there are no proceedings pending or threatened against the Indenture
Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal
which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or
the right, power and authority of the Indenture Trustee to enter into this Indenture or to perform
its obligations under this Indenture.



     (c) For so long as the Issuer is required to report under the Securities Exchange Act, the
Indenture Trustee shall: (i) on or before the fifth Business Day of each month, provide to the
Issuer, in writing, such information regarding the Indenture Trustee as is requested in writing by
the Issuer for the purpose of compliance with Item 1117 of Regulation AB; provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to provide such information in
the event that there has been no change to the information previously provided by the Indenture
Trustee to the Issuer, and (ii) as promptly as practicable following actual notice to or discovery
by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of any changes to such information, provide to
the Purchaser, in writing, such updated information.



     (d) As soon as available but no later than March 15 of each calendar year for so long as the

(if so requested by the Purchaser) of compliance to the Servicing Criteria during the immediately

specified in Exhibit C or such criteria as mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the
Indenture Trustee.

     (iii) default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of
the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in
the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically
dealt with), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture
or in any certificate or other writing delivered



36









 






pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such default
shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of which
such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or
otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days (or for such longer period, not in excess
of 90 days, as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default if the Issuer
delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that the
Issuer has commenced, or will promptly commence and diligently pursue, all
reasonable efforts to remedy such default and such default can be remedied in
90 days or less) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail,
to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by
the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, a
written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of Default
hereunder; or




     (iv) any Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Issuer.



     SECTION 5.2. Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the
Noteholders, pursuant to Section 5.8 or, in the case of clause (viii) below, at the
direction (which direction shall be in writing) of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall (subject to Section 6.2(a)(v)),
do one or more of the following:

acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable;




     (ii) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i)
or (ii), demand the Issuer to pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit
of the Noteholders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal
and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal at the applicable interest
rate, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally
enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate,
and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel;




     (iii) 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

     (vi) subject to Section 5.14, sell the Collateral, or any portion
thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called
and conducted in any manner permitted by law;




     (vii) make demand upon the Issuer, by written notice, that the Issuer deliver
to the Indenture Trustee all Loan Files (in which event the Issuer covenants to make
demand upon the Servicer to so deliver such Loan Files); and




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



     (b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Noteholders of Notes representing not less than
a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:




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

thereto.



     (c) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or
in



38









 




case a receiver, assignee, 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 Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer,
or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to
this Section) shall be entitled and empowered to, and, at the direction (which direction shall be
in writing) of the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.8 by intervention in such proceedings
or otherwise:





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




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




     (iii) collect and receive any amounts or other property payable or deliverable

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.




     (d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize
or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any
Noteholder 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.



39









 





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



     (f) 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 5.3. [Reserved].



     SECTION 5.4. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, each Noteholder shall have the right, which
is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such
Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Noteholder.



     SECTION 5.5. 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 5.6. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in
Section 2.5(d), 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 5.7. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of



40









 




Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by
law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.




     SECTION 5.8. Control by Noteholders. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Indenture, the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Notes shall have the right to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes,
(ii) accelerate the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2 after an Event of Default or (iii)
exercise any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; provided,
further, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee for
which the Indenture Trustee is not indemnified to its satisfaction or might materially adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholder(s) not consenting to such action. The Indenture Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction.



     (b) No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless:




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




     (ii) the Noteholder(s) of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute
such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture
Trustee hereunder;




     (iii) such Noteholder(s) have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;




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




     (v) so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, no direction by other
Noteholders inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Notes;




     (vi) with respect to any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or similar proceedings under any United States Federal or
State bankruptcy or similar law, the Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3%
of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes that remains Outstanding
has consented thereto in writing; provided, that the
foregoing shall not in any way limit the Noteholder’s rights to pursue any
other



41









 






creditor rights or remedies that the Noteholders may have for claims against
the Issuer,


it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholder(s) 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 Noteholder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Noteholder(s) or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the other Noteholders. Nothing
in this Section shall be construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to
petition a court for the removal of an Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof.




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



     SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for
payment of amounts due has been obtained as described in Section 5.2, the Noteholders of
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may waive any past
Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default: (a) in payment of principal of
or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.



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



     SECTION 5.10. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree (and each
Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to: (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
the Redemption Date).



42









 





     SECTION 5.11. 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 5.12. 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 Collateral or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any funds or other property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in
accordance with Section 8.3(c).



     SECTION 5.13. [Reserved]



     SECTION 5.14. Sale of Collateral. (a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of
the Collateral described pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not be exhausted by any one or more
sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the
entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts due under this Indenture have been paid in
full. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with
Section 5.8, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of
such sale. For any public sale of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee shall have provided each
Noteholder and Moody’s with notice of such sale at least two weeks in advance of such sale which
notice shall specify the date, time and location of such sale.



     (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the
Collateral, or any portion thereof in a private sale to a third party unless,




     (i) the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make
such sale; or




     (ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of all amounts
due under this Indenture.



     (c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral:




     (i) any one or more Noteholders may bid for and purchase the property offered
for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold,
retain, and possess and dispose of such property, without further
accountability, and any Noteholder may, in paying the purchase price therefore,
deliver in lieu of cash any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for
credit in the amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale,
be payable thereon,



43









 






and the Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be
less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders after being
appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;




     (ii) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey any portion of the Collateral
in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such
sale;




     (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
of conveyance transferring, without representation, warranty or recourse, any
portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof;




     (iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale 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 funds; and




     (v) the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral
following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in
Sections 5.1(i) or (ii), unless the applicable conditions in this
Section 5.14 are met and: (A) all the Noteholders direct in writing a sale
or liquidation of the Collateral, (B)(i) the Indenture Trustee (or its agent)
determines, based on a certification of the Issuer, that the anticipated proceeds of
such sale or liquidation (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or
liquidation), based on a certificate of the Issuer, would be sufficient to discharge
in full all amounts due and unpaid upon such Notes and other amounts payable
pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and (ii) the Noteholders acting unanimously do
not direct in writing the Indenture Trustee to the contrary within fifteen days of
receipt of notice of such determination by the Indenture Trustee or (C) the
Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide
sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they
would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Notes. In determining whether to sell or hold the
Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may obtain and rely upon an opinion of any
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation in the
United States as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the Collateral to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
upon the Notes for principal and interest.



     (d) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral shall be commercially reasonable.



     (e) The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to restrict the ability of the
Indenture Trustee to exercise any rights and powers against the Issuer or the Collateral that are
vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture, including, without limitation, the power of the
Indenture Trustee to proceed against the collateral subject to the lien of this Indenture and to
institute judicial proceedings for the collection of any deficiency remaining thereafter.



44









 





     (f) The purchase price received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of any sale made in
accordance with this Section shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the
Noteholders and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied in accordance with 

Section 8.3(c).

opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.



     (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from

this Section;

evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in
its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make
such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney;




     (vii) the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys,
custodians or nominees and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee
appointed with due care by it hereunder;




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




     (ix) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder;




     (x) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of
the Issuer;



47









 






     (xi) the permissive rights of the Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in
this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Indenture Trustee shall not
be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful default;




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




     (xiii) in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect
or consequential damages.



     (b) The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Indenture Trustee’s
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Indenture
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Indenture Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except to the
extent provided by the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the Notes. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the proceeds
of the Notes.



     SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall
not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner of Notes or
otherwise extend credit to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuer or
its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying
Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However,
the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.13.



     SECTION 6.4. Funds Held in Trust. Funds and investments and other property held by
the Indenture Trustee shall be segregated and held in one or more Trust Accounts held with the
Indenture Trustee hereunder.



     SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is
actually known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice
of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal
of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions
of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Noteholders.



     SECTION 6.6. [Reserved]



     SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture
Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder as the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee may agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee
upon its request, 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



48









 




shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents,
counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by them in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the
costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of their duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer
with a copy to the Servicer, promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations
hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
The Issuer need not 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 Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall
survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the
occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv), 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.



     The Indenture Trustee agrees not to institute (alone or in conjunction with any other Person)
against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or
liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under U.S. federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws
on account of the non-payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section
6.7, until after the balance of each Note is reduced to zero and the expiration of a period
equal to the longest applicable preference period under such bankruptcy laws and other applicable
laws plus 366 days following such payment; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall
preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Indenture Trustee from taking any action prior to the
expiration of the applicable preference period in any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or
commenced against the Issuer by a Person other than the Indenture Trustee or to otherwise limit any
claims that the Indenture Trustee may have against the Issuer. The foregoing shall not limit the
ability of the Indenture Trustee to take any action in accordance with Section 5.2.



     SECTION 6.8. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 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. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The
Noteholders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may remove
the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:




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




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



49









 






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




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



     If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuer 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 Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture
Trustee.



     A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee 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 60 days after the retiring
Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the
Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.



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



     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any act or omission
by any successor Trustee.



     SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate
trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Issuer prior written notice of any
such transaction unless prohibited by law or by the applicable agreement; provided, that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under
Section 6.11.



     In case at the time such successor(s) by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor 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 trustee
hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates of authentication shall have the full force and effect to the same extent given to the
certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture.



50









 





     SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s) for the benefit of the Noteholders, and
to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity all rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, or
any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.



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




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




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




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



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



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



51









 




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




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



     SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all
times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. There shall at all times be an Indenture Trustee hereunder which shall (a) be
a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any
state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers; (b) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition; (c) be subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority; and (d) at the time of appointment, shall have a long term senior,
unsecured debt rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, a comparable
rating by another statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9);
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA
§ 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.



     If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.



     This Indenture shall always have a trustee who satisfies the requirements of Section 310(a)(1)
of the TIA. The Indenture Trustee is subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA
regarding disqualification of a trustee upon acquiring any conflicting interest.



     If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have a
conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for each of the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes and the Class C Notes, a successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed for one or all of
such Classes, so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B
Notes and the Class C Notes. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the Class A
Noteholders, Class B Noteholders or Class C Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Related
Document. However, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only
the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under
this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.2 and to the right of
the Class B Noteholders and Class C Noteholders to receive their share of any proceeds of
enforcement) and thereafter so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class B Notes,
only the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Noteholders will have the right to exercise




52









 






remedies
under the Indenture (but subject to the right of the Class C Noteholders to receive their share of
any proceeds of enforcement). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full, all rights to exercise
remedies under this Indenture will transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Notes and,
upon payment of the Class B Notes in full, all rights to exercise remedies under this Indenture
will transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the Class C Notes.




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



     SECTION 6.12. Acceptance by Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee hereby
acknowledges the grant of a Lien on the Collateral and the receipt of a Lien on the assets
constituting the Collateral granted by the Issuer hereunder and declares that the Indenture
Trustee, through a custodian, will hold such Lien on the Collateral granted by the Issuer in
trust, for the use and benefit of all Noteholders subject to the terms and provisions hereof.



     SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Indenture
Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).
An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the
extent indicated.



     SECTION 6.14. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. To the extent required by
the TIA, within 60 days after each September 11 (beginning in 2009), following the date of this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if such a report is required pursuant to TIA
Section 313(a). The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Indenture
Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).



     A copy of each such report required under TIA Section 313 shall, at the time of such
transmission to Noteholders be filed with the Commission and with each stock exchange or other
market system on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in
writing if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange or market trading system.



53









 





     SECTION 6.15. Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby
represents that:




     (a) the Indenture Trustee is duly organized and validly existing as a New York banking
corporation in good standing under the laws of New York with power and authority to own its
properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such
business is presently conducted;




     (b) the Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to execute and deliver this
Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this
Indenture have been duly authorized by the Indenture Trustee by all necessary corporate
action;




     (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default
under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee or to the best of the
Indenture Trustee’s knowledge, any material agreement or other instrument to which the
Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; and




     (d) to the best of the Indenture Trustee’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or
investigations pending or threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee
or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent
the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking
any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Indenture.



     SECTION 6.16. The Paying Agent. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as
the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that
are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section
8.3(b) or (c) or from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall
be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Paying Agent.



     The Paying Agent hereby agrees that subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall:




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




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



54









 






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




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




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



     For so long as the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee are the same Person, written notice
referred to in this Section between the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall not be
required.



     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 any 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 sums.



     Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any amounts held by the Indenture
Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and
payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and
the related Noteholder shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer
for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all
liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust funds shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the
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
funds remain 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 funds then remaining will be
repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the
Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of
such repayment to Noteholders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for
redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable
from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for
each such Noteholder).



     Each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent) shall be appointed by Issuer Order
with written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer
shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided in



55









 




Section 6.11. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other than the Indenture
Trustee) which is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company,
including the Indenture Trustee, that (a) is incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof, (b) is subject to supervision and examination by federal or state
banking authorities and (c) has outstanding unsecured commercial paper or other short-term
unsecured debt obligations that are rated “A-1+” by S&P or “Prime-1” by Moody’s (or its
equivalent).




     SECTION 6.17. Repayment of Amounts Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all funds then held by any
Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture with respect to such Notes
shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according
to Section 4.1, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such funds.

     SECTION 7.1. Issuer To Furnish Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of Noteholders.
The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee: (a) not more than five

Record Date, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Noteholders as of such Record Date, and (b) at such other times as the Indenture
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a
list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 10 days prior to the time such list is
furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note
Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished.



     SECTION 7.2. Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders. (a) The
Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and
addresses of the Noteholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee
as provided in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the
Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list
furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.



     (b) Three or more Noteholders, or one or more Noteholder(s) evidencing at least 25% of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other
Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes.



     (c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have the protection of TIA
§ 312(c).



     SECTION 7.3. Reports by Issuer. (a) The Issuer shall:




     (i) file with the Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is
required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of
the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of
the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations



56









 






prescribe) that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act or, if the Issuer is not required
to file with the Commission information, documents or reports pursuant to either
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, then the Issuer will
file with the Indenture Trustee and with the Commission, in accordance with rules
and regulations prescribed by the Commission, such of the supplementary and period
information, documents and reports required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
as may be prescribed in such rules and regulations;




     (ii) file with the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations

by the Rating Agencies, funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Permitted
Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the
Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds
on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments of the entity serving as
Indenture Trustee that may mature so that such funds will be available on the date prior to the
Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the Transfer Date that precedes a Payment Date
upon the maturity of any Permitted Investments are not required to be invested overnight.



     (b) The Issuer shall ensure that, in connection with any investment of any funds or any sale
of any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts, the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee and
perfected in such Trust 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 Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect.



     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency
in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein,
except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such
Permitted Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal
obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. The Indenture Trustee shall have no
liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Permitted Investment
prior to its stated maturity.



     (d) (i) If 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
5.2, or, (ii) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of
Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Collateral are being applied in accordance
with Section 8.3(c) as if there had not been such a declaration; then at the written
direction of the Issuer (which such direction may be a standing direction) to the fullest extent
practicable, funds shall be invested and reinvested in the Trust Accounts in the Permitted
Investments identified in clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Investments.



     SECTION 8.7. Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and
expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by this
Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey
the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not
inconsistent with this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture
Trustee as provided in this Article shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority,
inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds.



64









 





     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums
due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid, release any remaining
portion of the Collateral that secured the Notes from the Lien of this Indenture.



     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to
this Section only upon receipt of an Issuer Request requesting such release accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates
in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section
11.1.



     SECTION 8.8. 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 8.7(a),
accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as
a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel stating the legal effect of any such action,
outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to
the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely
impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of this
Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to
express an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. 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, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, as evidenced by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of a Noteholder, without the consent of such Noteholder affected
thereby:



     (a) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect
thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or

(including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect
the rights of the Noteholders to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the
Notes contained herein; or



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



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

in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been met.
The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.



     SECTION 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to

and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and
immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture
shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all
purposes.



     SECTION 9.5. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and if
required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee

Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.



     SECTION 9.6. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture

and for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the
Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price following the exercise by the
Purchaser of the clean up call set forth in Section 6.1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption. If such Notes are to be
redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the
Indenture Trustee not later than 25 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit
in the Note Distribution Account the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed.



     SECTION 10.2. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section
10.1 shall be given by the Issuer by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than
five days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Noteholder, as of the close of business
on the last day of the calendar month preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such
Noteholder’s address appearing in the Note Register.



     All notices of redemption shall state:




     (i) the Redemption Date;




     (ii) the Redemption Price;



68









 






     (iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained
as provided in Section 3.2); and




     (iv) the CUSIP numbers of the Notes being redeemed.



     Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Noteholder shall not
impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.



     SECTION 10.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed shall, following notice of redemption pursuant to this Article, become due and payable on
the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of
the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the
date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.



ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS




     SECTION 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) Upon any written
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under this
Indenture, other than any request that (i) the Indenture Trustee authenticate the Notes specified
in such request, or (ii) the Indenture Trustee pay amounts due and payable to the Issuer hereunder
to the Issuer’s assignee specified in such request, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee: (1) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for

(3) (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
this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.



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




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




     (x) 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;




     (y) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made
(or has caused to be 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



69









 






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



     (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the
Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities
subject to the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in
Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as
to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other
property or securities to be so deposited.




     (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate described in clause (i), the Issuer shall also deliver
to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the
fair value to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so
deposited and of all other such Collateral or other property or securities released
from the Lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current fiscal
year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (i)
and this clause (ii), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished with respect to any
Collateral or other property or securities so deposited if the fair value thereof to
the Issuer as set forth in the related Officers’ Certificate is less than $1,000,000
or less than one percent of the then Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.




     (iii) Other than with respect to property as contemplated by

be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officers’ 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 Collateral or other property or securities proposed to be released
and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair
the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.




     (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate described in clause (iii), the Issuer shall also
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters
if the fair value to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities
and of all other such Collateral or other property, other than property as
contemplated by clause (v), or securities released from the Lien of this
Indenture since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as
set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) and this clause
(iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, but
such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of Collateral or
other property or securities if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in
the related Officers’ Certificate is less than $1,000,000 or less than one percent
of the then Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.

     (v) Notwithstanding Section 3.9 or any other provision of this Section,
the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of
this Section: (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Loans and
Equipment as and to the extent permitted or required by the Related Documents and
(B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or
required by the Related Documents so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee every six months, commencing March 15, 2010, an Officers’
Certificate of the Issuer stating that all such dispositions of Collateral that
occurred since the execution of the previous such Officers’ Certificate (or for the
first such Officers’ Certificate, since the Closing Date) were in the ordinary
course of the Issuer’s business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in
accordance with the Related Documents.



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



     Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the 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,
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is
based is/are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, an officer or officers of any Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the
Issuer or the Administrator, Managing Member, stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of any Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Issuer or the
Administrator, Managing Member, as applicable, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, opinion or representations
with respect to such matters is/are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written
opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of
such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes
that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other
counsel.



     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.



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



71









 





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



     SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instrument(s) of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument(s) are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument(s) (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument(s). Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. At any time the
Notes of any Class are maintained on Book-Entry Notes, any reference in this Indenture to an Act of
Noteholders or a Noteholder or Noteholders representing a specified portion of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Notes or such Class of Notes shall be deemed to refer to an Act of Note
Owners or a Note Owner or Note Owners holding such specified portion of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Notes or Class, as the case may be.



     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.



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



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



     (e) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each Noteholder irrevocably
appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney-in-fact for such



72









 







Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the
rights of such Noteholder and the revisions pursuant hereto for the benefit of such Noteholder;
provided that nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to confer upon the
Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter
on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.



     SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders, or
other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture, shall be in writing and, if such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:



     (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer, shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office, or



     (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed
to: GE Equipment Midticket LLC, Series 2009-1, in care of General Electric Capital Corporation, 10
Riverview Drive, Danbury, CT 06810, Attention: Capital Markets Operations, and to General Electric
Capital Corporation, as Administrator, 10 Riverview Drive, Danbury, CT 06810, Attention: General
Counsel, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the
Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the
Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.



     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to
their respective addresses set forth in Section 8.1 of the Servicing Agreement.



     SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for
notice to Noteholders of any event or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid or certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by private courier
or confirmed telecopy to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required
to be mailed, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of
such report. In any case where notice or report to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed to any
particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report 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.



73









 





     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with
Section 11.5, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report is
required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or
delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee, shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder.



     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 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with
any Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying
Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture or the
Notes 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 11.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture
and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees
and agents of the Indenture Trustee, whether so expressed or not.



     SECTION 11.8. Severability. Any provision of this Indenture or the Notes that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof or of the Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.



     SECTION 11.9. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, the Noteholders, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an
ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.



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



     SECTION 11.11. Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING
HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE,
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401(1) OF THE GENERAL



74









 







OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY
APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS INDENTURE IS SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE
ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.



     (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE
ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS
FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR
OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE ISSUER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE ISSUER
OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREUNDER, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE
INDENTURE TRUSTEE. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY
ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT
SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM
NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE
OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED
TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.4 AND THAT SERVICE SO
MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE
DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW.



     (c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT
THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE,



75









 







ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED
AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.



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



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



     SECTION 11.14. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly,
with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, Managing Member or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith
or therewith, against: (i) the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in their individual
capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, officer, director, employee or agent of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member
in their individual capacities, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, Managing
Member or the Indenture Trustee or (c) of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or
Managing Member in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed
(it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and Managing Member have no such obligations in
their individual capacities) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully
liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.



     SECTION 11.15. Communication by Noteholders with Other Noteholders. Noteholders may
communicate, pursuant to TIA Section 312(b), with other Noteholders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and all
other parties shall be entitled to rely on and shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).



     SECTION 11.16. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it
will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours,
to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make
copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers,
employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often
as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial condition
or affairs of the Issuer or the performance or compliance with the covenants and undertakings of
the Issuer under this Indenture, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any of the other documents
referred to herein or therein. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to
hold in confidence all such information; provided, however, that the foregoing



76









 







shall not be construed to prohibit: (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or
becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than
the Issuer or its agents, (ii) disclosure of any and all information: (A) if required to do so by
any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory or
self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the
Indenture Trustee’s business or that of its Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or
arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate or any officer, director, employee or
shareholder thereof is subject, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular or prospectus,
registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by
this Indenture and approved in advance by the Issuer or (E) to any Affiliate, independent or
internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the
same; provided, that the Indenture Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential
nature of the information being disclosed and such recipient agrees to keep such information
confidential, (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Issuer or (iv) disclosure to the other
parties to the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents.



     SECTION 11.17. Agents of Issuer. The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges that it
has been advised that any agent of the Issuer may act on behalf of the Issuer hereunder for
purposes of all consents, amendments, waivers and other actions permitted or required to be taken,
delivered or performed by the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee agrees that any such action taken
by an agent on behalf of the Issuer shall satisfy the Issuer’s obligations hereunder.



     SECTION 11.18. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations,
warranties and certificate of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other
writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of
the Notes hereunder.



     SECTION 11.19. 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 the TIA, such required provision shall control.



     The provisions of TIA §§ 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 11.20. Subordination. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and
agrees that such Note represents indebtedness of the Issuer and does not represent an interest in
any assets (other than a security interest in the Collateral) of the Purchaser (including by virtue
of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the
Collateral and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each
Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that:



     (a) by virtue of its rights under such Note and this Indenture, such Noteholder shall not have
any right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than a security
interest in the Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Purchaser to any other
Person or Persons (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting
of a lien) (“Other Assets”);



77









 





     (b) the Notes constitute claims (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) solely
against the Issuer, which may be satisfied solely from the Collateral and its proceeds (whether
through ordinary liquidation or the exercise of UCC remedies and other remedies provided herein)
and do not constitute claims against the Issuer or the Purchaser to the extent that the Collateral
and such proceeds are insufficient to repay the Notes (including interest thereon, whether accrued
before or after the filing of a bankruptcy petition) in full; and



     (c) such Noteholder shall not file or join in a filing of a petition with respect to any
bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or similar
proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law relating to the
Purchaser, or cooperate or encourage others to file such a petition, in each case unless the
Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class
of Notes that remains Outstanding and holders of any rated securities, rated debt or other rated
investment backed by any Other Assets representing not less than 66-2/3% of the outstanding
principal balance of each class of such securities, debt or other investment has consented thereto
in writing; provided, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the Noteholder’s rights
to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that the Noteholders may have for claims against
the Issuer.



     To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding
sentences of this subsection, any Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit
from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Purchaser or any other Person owned by
the Purchaser, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other
Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency
laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or
through the Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser, then each Noteholder by accepting
a Note further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other

[REVERSE OF NOTE]




     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its [___]%
Class A [___] Notes (herein called the “Class A [___] Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of [______] (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called
the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and [                              ], not in its individual capacity but
solely as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in this
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to this Indenture.



     The Class A [___] Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged
as security therefor as provided in this Indenture.



     The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A [___]
Interest Rate to the extent lawful.



     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer 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 Managing Member in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of
a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Managing Member in their individual
capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Managing Member or the
Indenture Trustee or of (c) any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Managing Member
in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity.



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



     This Note and the Indenture and the obligations arising hereunder and thereunder shall in all
respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including
Section 5-1401(1) of the General Obligations Law, but without regard to any other conflict of laws
provisions thereof) and any applicable laws of the United States of America.



A-1-5









 





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



     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Related
Documents, neither [                             ], in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission
to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have
been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Indenture
Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Noteholder by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner
by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as expressly provided
in the Related Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder
and Note Owner 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.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]




     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its [___]%
Class C Notes (herein called the “C Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as
of [                    ] (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”),
between the Issuer and [                                        ], not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee
(the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement
of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note
that are not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.



     Class C Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture and are subordinated to the Class A Notes and the
Class B Notes to the extent provided in the Indenture.



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



     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer 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 Managing Member in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of
a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Managing Member in their individual
capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Managing Member or the
Indenture Trustee or of (c) any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Managing Member
in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity.



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



     This Note and the Indenture and the obligations arising hereunder and thereunder shall in all
respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including
Section 5-1401(1) of the General Obligations Law, but without regard to any other conflict of laws
provisions thereof) and any applicable laws of the United States of America.



A-3-5









 





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



     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Related
Documents, neither [                    ], in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers,
directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission
to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have
been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Indenture
Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Noteholder, by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner
by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as expressly provided
in the Related Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder
and Note Owner shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim
therefrom; provided, 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.

SCHEDULE 1

to Indenture




PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS



In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, to induce
the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and
covenants to Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders as to itself 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 Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is
prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from
the Issuer.



     2. The Loans constitute “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “instruments,” or “tangible chattel
paper,” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.



     3. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the
Purchaser in the property securing the Loans that constitute chattel paper.



Creation




     4. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and clear of any Lien,
claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar
governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being
contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the
use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of
such proceeding.



Perfection




     5. 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 sale of the Loans from
Purchaser to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Loans granted to the Indenture Trustee
hereunder 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 Indenture Trustee.”.



     6. With respect to Loans that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper, either:



Schedule 1




1









 









     (a) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of a custodian and
the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the custodian that the
custodian is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper to effect the Indenture
Trustee’s security interest therein; or




     (b) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after
the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such
custodian is acting to effect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein.



     7. With respect to the Trust Accounts and all subaccounts that constitute deposit accounts 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 the Trust Accounts without further consent
by the Issuer.



Priority




     8. Other than the transfer of the Loans to the Issuer under the Purchase and Sale Agreement
and the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, neither the
Issuer nor the Purchaser has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any of the Loans or the Trust Accounts or any subaccount thereof. Neither the Issuer nor
the Purchaser has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against the
Issuer or the Purchaser that include a description of collateral covering the Loans or the Trust
Accounts or any subaccount thereof other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.



     9. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Indenture or any other Related Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule
shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all Notes under the
Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.



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



     11. Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Issuer covenants that, in order
to evidence the interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement, the Issuer
shall or shall cause the Servicer to, take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments
(other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance
with this paragraph) 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 Collateral. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer
to, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the
Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion



Schedule 1




2









 







of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to file all financing statements,
amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement,
terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or
advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the
Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to,
present each such Filing to the Indenture Trustee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the security interest to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and
conditions to such Filing in this Indenture and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of
such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform
Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security
interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Issuer’s signature authorizing the Servicer to
effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Issuer where
allowed by applicable law.
