will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the
location, and any change in the location, of the Note Registrar, and the Trustee shall have the
right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the
Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar as
to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of the
Notes.



     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar as
provided in this Section 2.6, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such surrendered Note, the Trustee shall authenticate and
the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations and of a like principal amount.



     At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized
denominations and of a like principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such
office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of
Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such surrendered
Notes and an Issuer Order to authenticate the Notes, the Trustee shall authenticate and the
Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



     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.



     Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,

Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge or expense that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer
or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to subsection 15.1(e) not involving any
transfer.



     The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to
make, and the Note Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes (i) for a period of
20 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Notes or (ii) after the Trustee
sends a notice of redemption with respect to such Note in accordance with Section 2.18.



     (b) The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law.
None of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register the

of beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note, and (B) that is aware that the resale or
other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) in an offshore transaction in

provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall
have become or within twenty (20) days shall become 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 or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant
to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of
which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the

entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10 Cancellation.




     All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall, following
its receipt thereof, be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall, following its
receipt thereof, be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of

Section 2.11 Global Notes.




     The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in global form (i) to QIBs in transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A, as a
single note in fully registered form, without interest coupons (the “Rule 144A Global
Note”), authenticated and delivered in substantially the forms attached hereto included in
Exhibit A and/or (ii) as a single note in “offshore transactions” (within the meaning of Regulation
S), in fully registered form, without interest coupons (the “Temporary Regulation S Global
Note”), authenticated and delivered in substantially the forms attached hereto included in
Exhibit A. The Notes shall be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the Clearing Agency, by,
or on behalf of, the Issuer and shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note
representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.15. Unless
and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to
Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.15:




     (i) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be in full force and effect;




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




     (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.11 conflict with any other
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall control;




     (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants in accordance with the Depository
Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.15, 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 Notes to such Clearing
Agency Participants;




     (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon
instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the



34









 







Principal Amount of the 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 such required percentage
of the Principal Amount of the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee;
and




     (vi) the Notes may not be transferred as a whole except by the Clearing Agency to a
nominee of the Clearing Agency or by a nominee of the Clearing Agency to the Clearing Agency
or another nominee of the Clearing Agency or by the Clearing Agency or any such nominee to a
successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency.



Section 2.12 Regulation S Global Notes.




     (a) Notes issued in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act will initially be in the
form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note. Any beneficial interest in a Note evidenced by the
Temporary Regulation S Global Note is exchangeable for a beneficial interest in a Note in fully
registered, global form, without interest coupons, authenticated and delivered in substantially the
form attached hereto in Exhibit A (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note”), upon the
later of (i) the Exchange Date and (ii) the furnishing of a Regulation S Certificate.



     (b) (i) On or prior to the Exchange Date, each owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary
Regulation S Global Note shall deliver to Euroclear or Clearstream (as applicable) a Regulation S
Certificate; provided, however, that any owner of a beneficial interest in a
Temporary Regulation S Global Note on the Exchange Date or on any Payment Date that has previously
delivered a Regulation S Certificate hereunder shall not be required to deliver any subsequent
Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of such
subsequent date, in which case such owner shall promptly notify Euroclear or Clearstream, as
applicable, thereof and shall deliver an updated Regulation S Certificate). Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, as applicable, shall deliver to the Paying Agent or the Trustee a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Non-U.S. Certificate”) attached hereto promptly
upon the receipt of each such Regulation S Certificate, and no such owner (or transferee from such
owner) shall be entitled to receive a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note
or any payment of or principal of interest on or any other payment with respect to its beneficial
interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the Paying Agent or the Trustee receiving
such Non-U.S. Certificate from Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to the portion of the
Temporary Regulation S Global Note owned by such owner (and, with respect to a beneficial interest
in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, prior to the Exchange Date).



     (c) Any payments of principal of, interest on or any other payment on a Temporary Regulation S
Global Note received by Euroclear or Clearstream with respect to any portion of such Regulation S
Global Note owned by a Note Owner that has not delivered the Regulation S Certificate required by
this Section 2.12 shall be held by Euroclear and Clearstream solely as agents for the Paying Agent
and the Trustee. Euroclear and Clearstream shall remit such payments to the applicable Note Owner
(or to a Euroclear or Clearstream member on behalf of



35









 







such Note Owner) only after Euroclear or Clearstream has received the requisite Regulation S
Certificate. Until the Paying Agent or the Trustee has received a Non-U.S. Certificate from
Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, that it has received the requisite Regulation S
Certificate with respect to the ownership of a beneficial interest in any portion of a Temporary
Regulation S Global Note, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may revoke the right of Euroclear or
Clearstream, as applicable, to hold any payments made with respect to such portion of such
Temporary Regulation S Global Note. If the Paying Agent or the Trustee exercises its right of
revocation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable,
shall return such payments to the Paying Agent or the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold such
payments in the Collection Account until Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has provided the
necessary Non-U.S. Certificates to the Paying Agent or the Trustee (at which time the Paying Agent
shall forward such payments to Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, to be remitted to the Note
Owner that is entitled thereto on the records of Euroclear or Clearstream (or on the records of
their respective members)).



     Each Note Owner with respect to a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall exchange its
beneficial interest therein for a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note on or
after the Exchange Date upon furnishing to Euroclear or Clearstream (as applicable) the Regulation
S Certificate and upon receipt by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, of the Non-U.S.
Certificate thereof from Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.12. On and after the Exchange Date, upon receipt by the Paying Agent or
the Trustee of any Non-U.S. Certificate from Euroclear or Clearstream described in the immediately
preceding sentence (i) with respect to the first such certification, the Issuer shall execute, upon
receipt of an order to authenticate, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Clearing
Agency Custodian the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note and (ii) with respect to the
first and all subsequent certifications, the Clearing Agency Custodian shall exchange on behalf of
the applicable owners the portion of the applicable Temporary Regulation S Global Note covered by
such certification for a comparable portion of the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note.
Upon any exchange of a portion of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a comparable portion of
a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Clearing Agency Custodian shall endorse on the schedules
affixed to each such Regulation S Global Note (or on continuations of such schedules affixed to
each such Regulation S Global Note and made parts thereof) appropriate notations evidencing the
date of transfer and (x) with respect to the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, a decrease in the
principal amount thereof equal to the amount covered by the applicable certification and (y) with
respect to the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, an increase in the principal amount thereof
equal to the principal amount of the decrease in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note pursuant to
clause (x) above.



Section 2.13 Special Transfer Provisions.




     (a) If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to
exchange its beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a
person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Note, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency and to the
requirements set forth in the following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or



36









 







transfer or cause the transfer of the beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee of (1) instructions given in
accordance with the Clearing Agency’s procedures from or on behalf of a Note Owner of the Rule 144A
Global Note, directing the Trustee (via the Clearing Agency’s Deposit/Withdrawal of Custodian
System (“DWAC”)), as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule
144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written order in accordance with the
Clearing Agency’s procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account
to be credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) a certificate given by such
Note Owner stating that the exchange or transfer of such beneficial interest has been made pursuant
to and in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, the
Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Clearing Agency
(via DWAC), its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, to reduce or
reflect on its records a reduction of the Rule 144A Global Note by the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred from the
relevant participant, and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver appropriate
instructions (via DWAC) to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing
Agency, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records
an increase of the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note by the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit
or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions (who may be
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear or Clearstream or another agent member of
Euroclear, or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, acting for and on behalf of them) a
beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount
of the Rule 144A Global Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee may
conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set forth in the certificate representing the Notes.



     (b) If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to
exchange its beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Global Note, or to transfer a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a
person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
Global Note, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and
the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following
sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial
interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note. Upon receipt by the
Trustee, as transfer agent, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the procedures of
Euroclear or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, from or on behalf of a Note
Owner of the Regulation S Global Note directing the Trustee, as transfer agent, to credit or cause
to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written
order given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency,
as the case may be, containing information regarding the account with the Clearing Agency to be
credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) prior to the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate given by such Note Owner stating that the person
transferring such beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the
person acquiring such beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global



37









 







Note is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest for its own account or the account of
a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and any
applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction, the
Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the
Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, to
reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Regulation S Global Note by the principal
amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred,
and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to
the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be,
concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the
principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in
the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global
Note. After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the certification requirement
set forth in clause (3) of the second sentence of this subsection 2.13(b) will no longer apply to
such exchanges and transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee may
conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set forth in the certificate representing the Notes.



     (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who
takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the other Global Note will, upon transfer,
cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become a beneficial interest in the other Global
Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures
applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such a
beneficial interest.



     (d) Until the later of the Exchange Date and the provision of the certifications required by
Section 2.9(d), beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear or Clearstream, or another agent member of
Euroclear and Clearstream acting for and on behalf of them. During the Distribution Compliance
Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial
interests in the Rule 144A Global Note only in accordance with the certification requirements
described above.



Section 2.14 Notices to Clearing Agency.




     Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders of the Notes is required under this
Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.15, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be
given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note
Owners.



Section 2.15 Definitive Notes.




     If (i) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, at its



38









 







option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer
Default, the Majority Holders advise the Issuer and 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 Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Trustee of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the word-processed Note or Notes representing the Global Notes by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.
None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes to Note Owners, the Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders.



Section 2.16 Payments on the Notes.




     (a) Subject to the availability of Available Funds and to the Priority of Payments, the Notes
will provide for (i) the payment of Accrued Interest on each Payment Date until the earlier of the
date on which all Notes are paid in full and the Final Maturity Date and (ii) (A) absent the sale
of the Collateral and distribution under Section 11.7, the payment of the Principal Distribution
Amount on each Payment Date until the earlier of the date on which all Notes are paid in full and
the Final Maturity Date or (B) if the Collateral has been sold under Article XI, distribution as
provided in Section 11.7. All outstanding principal of the Notes will be due and payable (unless

     (b) Interest and principal payable in respect of the Notes on any Payment Date shall be paid
to the Holders of the Notes as of the related Record Date.



     (c) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon
all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.



     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, principal of, interest on and all
other amounts payable on or in respect of the Notes will constitute limited recourse obligations of
the Issuer secured by, and payable from and to the extent of available proceeds of, the Collateral.
The Holders of the Notes shall have recourse to the Issuer only to the extent of the Collateral,
and following realization of the Collateral, any claims of the Holders of the Notes shall be
extinguished and shall not revive thereafter. Neither the Issuer, nor any of its respective
agents, members, partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, employees or any Affiliate of any of
them or any of their respective successors or assigns or any other Person or entity shall be
personally liable for any amounts payable, or performance due, under the Notes or this Indenture.
It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to
the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which
is secured by the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness
or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture until such



39









 







Collateral has been realized whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be
extinguished. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not
limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as party defendant in any action, suit or in the
exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or in this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the
nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained)
enforced against the Issuer.



     (e) For so long as any of the Notes are admitted on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF market, or listed on any other stock exchange, to the
extent required by the rules of such exchange, the Issuer or, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee, in
the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall notify such stock exchange in the event that the
Notes do not receive scheduled payments of principal or interest on any Payment Date and the
Servicer at the expense of the Issuer will arrange for publication of such information in a daily
newspaper in Luxembourg or as otherwise required by such stock exchange.



Section 2.17 [Reserved].




Section 2.18 Clean-Up Call.




     The Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer on any Payment Date on which the Principal
Amount of the Notes is 10% or less of the Initial Principal Amount (such Payment Date, the
“Redemption Date”). The redemption price will be equal to the Principal Amount redeemed
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.



     At any time after the Issuer has delivered notice of an optional redemption (but at least one
Business Day prior to the Redemption Date), the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited funds
into the Collection Account sufficient to pay all principal and interest due or to become due on
the Notes in connection with such redemption, plus related costs and expenses incurred or to be
incurred by the Trustee. The Trustee will invest the funds in the Collection Account in Permitted
Investments as directed by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture and on the Redemption Date will
apply such funds deposited into the Collection Account and earnings on such funds to the payment in
full of all principal and interest due on the Notes. Upon the full and final payment of the Notes
and all interest thereon, and at the written direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent will
release its lien on the Collateral.



Section 2.19 Authentication Agent.




     (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authentication Agents with respect to the Notes which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Notes in connection with
the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Notes. Whenever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authentication Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authentication Agent. Each Authentication Agent must be reasonably acceptable to
the Issuer and the Servicer.



40









 





     (b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of an Authentication Agent
shall continue to be an Authentication Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authentication Agent.



     (c) An Authentication Agent may at any time resign by giving notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authentication
Agent by giving notice of termination to such Authentication Agent and to the Issuer and the
Servicer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any time an Authentication Agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the Issuer, the
Trustee may promptly appoint a successor Authentication Agent. Any successor Authentication Agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authentication
Agent. No successor Authentication Agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Issuer and
the Servicer.



     (d) The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authentication Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section 2.19.

	 	 	Authorized Signatory” 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 



Section 2.20 Appointment of Paying Agent.





     The Trustee is hereby appointed as the Paying Agent. The Issuer reserves the right at any
time to appoint additional Paying Agents, provided that it will at all times maintain the
Trustee as a Paying Agent. If the Issuer has appointed any additional Paying Agent, the Trustee
reserves the right at any time and for any reason to remove such additional Paying Agent. Any
reference in this Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
context requires otherwise. The Paying Agent shall make payments to Noteholders from the Collection
Account or other applicable Account pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture and shall report
the amounts of such distributions to the Issuer. Under the terms of Section 3.4(b), the Trustee as



41









 







Paying Agent shall have the power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account or other
applicable Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above.



Section 2.21 Confidentiality.




     The Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereby agree not to disclose to any Person any name or
address of any Obligor under any Pledged Loan or other information contained in the Loan Schedule
or the data transmitted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder, except (i) as may be
required by law, rule, regulation or order applicable to it or in response to any subpoena or other
valid legal process; (ii) as may be necessary in connection with any request of any federal or
state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or the National Association of Insurance

as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer of it to protect and maintain the security and
confidentiality of such information. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable
efforts to provide the Issuer with written notice five days prior to any disclosure pursuant to
this Section 2.21.



     Nothing in the foregoing paragraph should, however, be construed to limit the ability of the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent (and their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors,
agents and advisors) to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
structure and tax treatment (as such terms are used in sections 6011, 6111, and 6112 of the Code
and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Notes, and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that have been provided to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent
related to such tax structure and tax treatment. In this regard, the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent acknowledge and agree that disclosure of the tax structure or tax treatment of the Notes is
not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written
(whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that they do not know or have reason to know that the
use or disclosure of information relating to the tax structure or tax treatment of the Notes is
limited in any other manner (such as where the Notes are claimed to be proprietary or exclusive)
for the benefit of any other Person. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be
permitted to disclose the tax structure and tax treatment of the Notes to the extent that such
disclosure would constitute a violation of federal or state securities laws.

except as otherwise provided herein, be irrevocable, and the amount of such deposit and any money,

Issuer (i) has been classified as a disregarded entity or partnership and (ii) has not been
classified as an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership.

     (s) No Adverse Selection. No selection procedures materially adverse to the
Noteholders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent have been employed in selecting the Pledged Loans
for inclusion in the Collateral on the Closing Date.



Section 4.2 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files.



     The Issuer represents and warrants to each of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Servicer
and the Noteholders as to each Pledged Loan that:



     (a) Possession. On or immediately prior to the Closing Date the Custodian will have
possession of each original Pledged Loan and the related Loan File, and will have acknowledged such
receipt and its undertaking to hold such documents for purposes of perfection of the Collateral
Agent’s interests in such original Pledged Loan and the related Loan File; provided,
however, that the fact that any Loan Document not required to be in its respective Loan
File under the terms of the respective Purchase Agreements is not in the possession of the
Custodian in its respective Loan File does not constitute a breach of this representation; and
provided that, possession of Loan Documents may be in the form of microfiche or
other electronic copies of the Loan Documents to the extent provided in the Custodial Agreement.



     (b) Marking Records. On or before the Closing Date, each of the Issuer and the
Servicer shall have caused the portions of the computer files relating to the Pledged Loans Granted
to the Collateral Agent on such date to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such
Loans constitute part of the Collateral Granted by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture.



     The representations and warranties of the Issuer set forth in this Section 4.2 shall be deemed
to be remade without further act by any Person on and as of each date of substitution with respect
to each Loan Granted by the Issuer on and as of each such date. The representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 4.2 shall survive any Grant of the respective Loans by the Issuer.



51









 





Section 4.3 Rights of Obligors and Release of Loan Files.




     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Indenture, including the Collateral
Agent’s, the Trustee’s and the Noteholders’ remedies pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Collateral
Agency Agreement, the rights of any Obligor to any Vacation Ownership Interest subject to a Pledged
Loan shall, so long as such Obligor is not in default thereunder, be superior to those of the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders, and none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or
the Noteholders, so long as such Obligor is not in default thereunder, shall interfere with such
Obligor’s use and enjoyment of the Vacation Ownership Interest subject thereto.



     (b) If pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall
acquire through foreclosure the Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Vacation Ownership Interest
subject to a Pledged Loan, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby specifically agree to
release or cause to be released any Vacation Ownership Interest from any Lien hereunder upon
completion of all payments and the performance of all the terms and conditions required to be made
and performed by such Obligor under such Pledged Loan, and each of the Collateral Agent and the
Trustee hereby consents to any such release by, or at the direction of, the Collateral Agent.



     (c) At such time as an Obligor has paid in full the purchase price or the requisite percentage
of the purchase price for deeding pursuant to a Pledged Loan and has otherwise fully discharged all
of such Obligor’s obligations and responsibilities required to be discharged as a condition to
deeding, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent by a certificate
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (which certificate shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment have been deposited in the
Collection Account) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to the Servicer from the
Custodian of the related Loan Files. Upon receipt of such certificate and request or at such
earlier time as is required by applicable law, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (a) shall be
deemed, without the necessity of taking any action, to have approved release by the Custodian of
the Loan Files to the Servicer (in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial
Agreement), (b) shall be deemed to approve the release by the Nominee of the related deed of title,
and any documents and records maintained in connection therewith, to the Obligor as provided in the
Title Clearing Agreement, provided that title to the Vacation Ownership Interest has not
already been deeded to the Obligor and/or (c) shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer and assignment and take such other action as is necessary to release its interest in the
Vacation Ownership Interest subject to deeding (in the case of any Pledged Loan which has been paid
in full). The Servicer shall cause each Loan File or any document therein so released which
relates to a Pledged Loan for which the Obligor’s obligations have not been fully discharged to be
returned to the Custodian for the sole benefit of the Collateral Agent when the Servicer’s need
therefor no longer exists.

Section 5.4 Release of Defective Loans.




     (a) Deposit of Release Price or Substitution of Qualified Substitute Loan. Subject to
subsection (b) of this section, upon discovery by the Issuer or upon written notice from the
Depositor or the Trustee that any Pledged Loan is a Defective Loan, the Issuer shall, within 90
days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice thereof (i) if such Defective Loan
constitutes a Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor
acquired such Defective Loan, direct the applicable Seller to perform its obligation under such
Purchase Agreement to either (A) deposit the Release Price with the Trustee or (B) deliver to the
Trustee one or more Qualified Substitute Loans in substitution for such Defective Loan and pay to
the Trustee the Substitution Adjustment Amount or (ii) if such Defective Loan does not constitute a
Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement



56









 




pursuant to which the Depositor acquired such Defective Loan, deposit the Release Price with the Trustee. If such
Defective Loan constitutes a Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which
the Depositor acquired such Defective Loan, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the Issuer shall have no obligation or liability with respect to such Defective Loan
should the applicable Seller fail to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement with
respect to such Defective Loan.




     (b) Substitution. If under a Purchase Agreement, a Seller delivers a Qualified
Substitute Loan for release of a Defective Loan, the Issuer shall execute a Supplemental Grant in
substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto and deliver such Supplemental Grant to the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent. Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Loans on or prior to the
Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall not be property of the Issuer, but,
to the extent received by the Servicer, will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the
Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date. Payments due and other amounts
received with respect to the Qualified Substitute Loans after the Calculation Date next preceding
the date of substitution shall be property of the Issuer. Scheduled Payments due on a Defective
Loan on or prior to the Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall be property
of the Issuer, and after such Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution the Seller
shall be entitled to receive and retain all Scheduled Payments due thereafter and other amounts
received in respect of such Defective Loan. The Servicer shall deliver a schedule of any Defective
Loans so removed and Qualified Substitute Loans so substituted to the Trustee and such schedule
shall be an amendment to the Loan Schedule. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Loan
or Qualified Substitute Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Indenture in all respects, the
Issuer shall be deemed to have made the representations, and warranties with respect to each
Qualified Substitute Loan set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this Indenture, in each case as of
the date of substitution, and the Issuer shall be deemed to have made a representation and warranty
that each Loan so substituted is a Qualified Substitute Loan as of the date of substitution. The
provisions of Section 5.4(a) shall apply to any Qualified Substitute Loan as to which the Issuer
has breached the Issuer’s representations and warranties in Section 5.1 and 5.2 to the same extent
as for any other Pledged Loan. In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute Loans for one or more Defective Loans, the Servicer shall determine the Substitution
Adjustment Amount. If such Defective Loan constitutes a Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor acquired such Defective Loan, the Issuer shall direct the
applicable Seller to perform its obligation under such Purchase Agreement to pay to the Trustee the
Substitution Adjustment Amount in immediately available funds. Such Substitution Adjustment Amount
shall be paid to the Trustee and treated as if it were a portion of the Release Price for the
Defective Loan and included in Available Funds as such. If such Defective Loan constitutes a
Defective Loan as defined in the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Depositor acquired such
Defective Loan, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall have
no obligation or liability to pay the Substitution Adjustment Amount with respect to such Defective
Loan should the applicable Seller fail to perform its obligation under the Purchase Agreement to
pay such Substitution Adjustment Amount to the Trustee.



     (c) Release of Defective Loan. If a Seller repurchases a Pledged Loan as a Defective

60









 







pursuant to the “Bailment Agreement” (as defined in and attached as an exhibit to the
Custodial Agreement).




          (iii) The Issuer shall at all times comply in all material respects with the terms of its
obligations under the Custodial Agreement and shall not enter into any modification, amendment or

members or managers or other Affiliates to do business with vendors or service providers or
to share overhead expenses, the costs incurred in so doing shall be allocated fairly among

and services are provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs.




     (v) Ensure that all material transactions between the Issuer and any of its Affiliates

directors including at least one Independent Director.



61









 






     (vi) Maintain a principal executive and administrative office through which its
business is conducted and a telephone number separate from those of its members, managers
and other Affiliates. To the extent that the Issuer and any of its members, managers or

allocation of overhead costs (including rent) among them, and each such entity shall bear
its fair share of such expenses.

formalities, including, but not limited to, holding all regular and special meetings of the
board of directors appropriate to authorize all actions of the Issuer, keeping separate and
accurate minutes of such meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to
authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining accurate and separate books, records
and accounts, including, but not limited to, intercompany transaction accounts. Regular
meetings of the board of directors shall be held at least annually.

member of the board of directors of the Issuer that is not and has not at any time been (x)
an officer, agent, advisor, consultant, attorney, accountant, employee or shareholder of any
Affiliate of the Issuer which is not a special purpose entity, (y) a director of any
Affiliate of the Issuer other than an independent director of any Affiliate which is a
special purpose entity or (z) a member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing).




     (ix) Ensure that decisions with respect to its business and daily operations shall be
independently made by the Issuer (although the officer making any particular decision may
also be an officer or director of an Affiliate of the Issuer) and shall not be dictated by

Documents, pay all expenses, indebtedness and other obligations incurred by it using its own
funds.

creditworthiness out as being available for the payment of any obligation of any Affiliate
of the Issuer nor shall the Issuer make any loans to any Person.



62









 






     (xiv) Ensure that any financial reports required of the Issuer shall comply with GAAP
and shall be issued separately from, but may be consolidated with, any reports prepared for
any of its Affiliates so long as such consolidated reports contain footnotes describing the
effect of the transactions between the Issuer and such Affiliate and also state that the
assets of the Issuer are not available to pay creditors of the Affiliate.




     (xv) Ensure that at all times it is adequately capitalized to engage in the
transactions contemplated in its certificate of formation and its limited liability company
agreement.




     (xvi) Take all actions on its part as are necessary to comply with each assumption
contained in the true sale and substantive consolidation opinions given as of the date
hereof.

due and owing by it, other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Issuer or the applicable
Affiliate shall have set aside adequate reserves on its books in accordance with GAAP, and which
proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.



     (p) Tax Classification. For as long as the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall
not take any action, or fail to take any action, that would cause the Issuer to not remain
classified, for federal income tax purposes, as a disregarded entity or a partnership that is not
classified as a publicly traded partnership.



     (q) Transaction Documents. Comply in all material respects with the terms of, employ

and removed from the Account); and





     (b) With respect to the Control Account either (i) prevent the deposit into such
account of any funds other than Collections in respect of Pledged Loans or (ii) enter into
an intercreditor agreement with other entities which have an interest in the amounts in the
Control Account to allocate the Collections with respect to the Pledged Loans to the Issuer
and transfer such amounts to the Trustee for deposit into the appropriate Collection
Account; (provided that, the covenant in clause (i) of this paragraph (b) shall not
be breached to the extent that funds not constituting Collections in respect of the Pledged
Loans are inadvertently deposited into such Control Account and are promptly segregated and
remitted to the owner thereof).



     (t) Filings; Further Assurances. (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer
shall have caused at its sole expense the Financing Statements, assignments and amendments thereof
necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral to be filed or recorded in the

execute and deliver, or authorize and cause to be prepared, executed and delivered, all such
Financing Statements, continuation statements, amendments, instruments of further assurance

required by the Servicer or the Trustee or as the Servicer or the Trustee otherwise deems
reasonably necessary or advisable to perfect the Lien created in the Collateral. The
Servicer agrees, at its sole expense, to cooperate with the Issuer in taking any such action
(whether at the request of the Issuer or the Trustee). Without limiting the foregoing, the
Issuer shall from time to time, at its sole expense, authorize, execute, file, deliver and
record all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such Financing Statements,
amendments thereto, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, or other
statements, specific assignments or other instruments or documents and take any other action
that is reasonably necessary to, or that any of the Servicer, the Issuer or the Trustee
deems reasonably necessary or advisable to: (i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of
the Collateral; (ii) maintain or preserve the Lien Granted hereunder (and the priority
thereof) or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof; (iii) perfect, maintain the
perfection of, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any Grant made pursuant to this
Indenture; (iv) enforce any of the Pledged Loans or any of the other Pledged Assets
(including without limitation by cooperating with the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer,
in filing and recording such Financing Statements against such Obligors as the Servicer or
the Trustee shall deem necessary or advisable from time to time); (v) preserve and defend
title to any Pledged Loans or all or any other part of the Pledged Assets, and the rights of
the Trustee in such Pledged Loans or other related Pledged Assets, against the claims of all
Persons and parties; or (vi) pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part
of any Collateral.




     (iii) The Issuer shall, on or prior to the date of Grant of any Pledged Loans

executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee. Such “original copies” may be provided in microfiche or other
electronic form to the extent permitted under the Custodial Agreement. In the event that
the Issuer receives any other instrument or any writing which, in either event, evidences a
Pledged Loan or other Pledged Assets, the Issuer shall deliver such instrument or writing to
the Custodian to be held as collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a security interest
for the benefit of the Trustee within two Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt thereof,
in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee.





     (iv) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee, and gives the Collateral Agent its
irrevocable power of attorney (which authorization is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable), in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to execute, deliver, file and record

writing or paper and to take any other action that the Trustee at the direction of the

responsibility of the Issuer and payable under Section 3.1 to the Trustee.

things which it may accomplish with a reasonable amount of cost or effort, in order to maintain
each such Resort (including without limitation all grounds, waters and improvements thereon) in at
least as good condition, repair and working order as would be customary for prudent managers of
similar timeshare properties.

relating to Pledged Loans, any Permitted Encumbrances thereon) upon or with respect to, any Pledged

any Collateral hereunder. The Issuer shall immediately notify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
of the existence of any Lien on any Pledged Loan or any other Pledged Assets, and the Issuer shall

Timeshare Upgrade or in accordance with Customary Practices), amend, waive or otherwise modify the
terms of any Pledged Loan or permit the rescission or cancellation of any Pledged Loan, whether for

ARTICLE VII




SERVICING OF PLEDGED LOANS




Section 7.1 Responsibility for Loan Administration.




     The Servicer shall manage, administer, service and make collections on the Pledged Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and Issuer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to
all other provisions hereof, the Trustee and the Issuer grant to the Servicer a limited



67









 







power of attorney to execute and the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to so execute
and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments with respect to the Pledged Loans, any related Mortgages and the
related Vacation Ownership Interests, but only to the extent deemed necessary by the Servicer.



     Each of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent, at the request of a Servicing
Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any documents in its possession reasonably requested or
take any action reasonably requested, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties hereunder (subject, in the case of requests for documents
contained in any Loan Files, to the requirements of Section 6.1(l)).



     WCF is hereby appointed as the Servicer until such time as any Service Transfer shall be
effected under Article XII.



Section 7.2 Standard of Care.




     In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the Pledged Loans pursuant to
this Indenture, the Servicer will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with Customary
Practices and the Credit Standards and Collection Policies.



Section 7.3 Records.




     The Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books of
account, computer data files and other records as will enable the Trustee to determine the status
of each Pledged Loan and will enable such Loan to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture by a Successor Servicer following a Service Transfer.



Section 7.4 Loan Schedule.




     The Servicer shall at all times maintain the Loan Schedule and electronically provide to the
Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian a current, complete copy of the Loan
Schedule. The Loan Schedule may be in one or multiple documents including the original listing and
monthly amendments listing changes.



Section 7.5 Enforcement.




     (a) The Servicer will, consistent with Section 7.2, act with respect to the Pledged Loans in
such manner as will maximize the receipt of Collections in respect of such Pledged Loans
(including, to the extent necessary, instituting foreclosure proceedings against the Vacation
Ownership Interest, if any, underlying a Pledged Loan or disposing of the underlying Vacation
Ownership Interest, if any). The Servicer will diligently monitor the integration of the
collection functions of WCF and WRDC and to the extent the Servicer detects any deterioration in
collections or any increase in delinquencies or defaults or other factors which indicate or might
indicate any deterioration in collections, the Servicer will use its best efforts to determine the
source of the problem and will use its best efforts to remedy such problem.



68









 





     (b) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Pledged Loans, in its own name, if
possible, or as agent for the Issuer. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to
enforce a Pledged Loan, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of
the Pledged Loan to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement
suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Pledged Loan on the grounds
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Pledged Loan, the
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer’s expense, take such steps as the Servicer
and the Trustee may mutually agree are necessary (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld)
to enforce the Pledged Loan, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer. The
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred thereby.



     (c) The Servicer, upon notice to the Trustee, may grant to the Obligor on any Pledged Loan any
rebate, refund or adjustment out of the appropriate Collection Account that the Servicer in good
faith believes is required as a matter of law; provided that, on any Business Day on which
such rebate, refund or adjustment is to be paid hereunder, such rebate, refund or adjustment shall
only be paid to the extent of funds otherwise available for distribution from the Collection
Account.



     (d) The Servicer will not extend, amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of any Pledged
Loan or permit the rescission or cancellation of any Pledged Loan, whether for any reason relating
to a negative change in the related Obligor’s creditworthiness or inability to make any payment
under the Pledged Loan or otherwise, other than in accordance with Customary Practices.



     (e) The Servicer shall have discretion to sell the collateral which secures any Defaulted
Loans free and clear of the Lien of this Indenture, in exchange for cash, in accordance with
Customary Practices and Credit Standards and Collection Policies. All proceeds of any such sale of
such collateral shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account.



     (f) The Servicer shall not sell any Defaulted Loan or any collateral securing a Defaulted Loan
to any Seller or Originator except for an amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof.



     (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Servicer shall have no
obligation to, and shall not, foreclose on the collateral securing any Pledged Loan unless the
proceeds from such foreclosure will be sufficient to cover the expenses of such foreclosure.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, proceeds from the foreclosure by the
Servicer on the collateral securing any Pledged Loans shall first be applied by the Servicer to
reimburse itself for the expenses of such foreclosure, and any remaining proceeds shall be
deposited into the Collection Account.



Section 7.6 Trustee and Collateral Agent to Cooperate.




     Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall perform such
other acts as are reasonably requested by the Servicer (including without limitation the



69









 







execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the
Trustee’s rights and remedies with respect to Pledged Loans.



Section 7.7 Other Matters Relating to the Servicer.




     The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to:



     (a) advise the Trustee in connection with the amount of withdrawals from Accounts in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;



     (b) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Pledged Loans and, after the delinquency of any Pledged Loan and to the extent
permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence enforcement
proceedings with respect to such Pledged Loan including without limitation the exercise of rights
under any power-of-attorney granted in any Pledged Loan; and



     (c) make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any
consents or authorizations from the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities
authority on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or
state securities or reporting requirements laws.



     Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee agrees that it shall
promptly follow the instructions of the Servicer duly given to withdraw funds from the Accounts.



Section 7.8 Servicing Compensation.




     As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive the Monthly Servicer Fee.



Section 7.9 Costs and Expenses.




     The costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder,
including without limitation the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of
Pledged Loans, shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
hereunder from the Issuer as provided in Section 3.1 and Section 7.5(g). Failure by the Servicer
to receive reimbursement shall not relieve the Servicer of its obligations under this Indenture.



Section 7.10 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.




     The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the
Noteholders as of the date of this Indenture:



     (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full
corporate power, authority, and legal right to own its property and conduct its business as such



70









 







properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Indenture. The Servicer is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has obtained all necessary licenses
and approvals in each jurisdiction necessary for the enforcement of each Pledged Loan or in which
failure to qualify or to obtain such licenses and approvals would have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Noteholders.



     (b) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by the Servicer of each of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by the Servicer of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Servicer.



     (c) Binding Obligations. Each of the Transaction Documents to which Servicer is a
party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the
Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to or limited
by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).



     (d) No Conflict; No Violation. The execution and delivery by the Servicer of each of
the Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and the performance by the Servicer of
the transactions contemplated by such agreements and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms
hereof and thereof applicable to the Servicer, will not conflict with, violate, result in any
breach of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any
court applicable to the Servicer or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any material
indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material instrument, to which the
Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, except where such conflict, violation, breach or
default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.



     (e) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the
knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer, before any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents; (ii) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or any of the other
Transaction Documents; (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment
of the Servicer, would adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under
this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents; (iv) seeking any determination or ruling
that would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture or any of the other
Transaction Documents; or (v) seeking any determination or ruling that would have a Material
Adverse Effect.



     (f) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other
actions of any Person or any governmental body or official required in connection with the
execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Indenture or of the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or the performance by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, have been obtained,
except where the failure so to do would not have a Material Adverse Effect.



71









 





Section 7.11 Additional Covenants of the Servicer.




     The Servicer further agrees as provided in this Section 7.11.



     (a) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer will not add or
terminate the bank as a Control Account Bank from the one listed in Schedule 2 to this Indenture or
make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Control
Account Bank, unless the Trustee shall have received (i) 30 Business Days’ prior notice of such
addition, termination or change and (ii) prior to the effective date of such addition, termination
or change, (x) fully executed copies of the new or revised Control Agreements executed by each new
Control Account Bank, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Servicer and (y) copies of all agreements and
documents signed by either the Issuer or the respective Control Account Bank with respect to any
new Control Account.



     (b) Collections. The Servicer shall hold any Collections it receives in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee and deposit such Collections into a Control Account or the Collection
Account as soon as practicable but in any event within two Business Days following the Servicer’s
receipt thereof.



     (c) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Servicer will maintain in effect all
qualifications required under all relevant laws, rules, regulations and orders in order to service
each Pledged Loan, and shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders with respect to it, its business and properties, and the servicing of the
Pledged Loans (including without limitation the laws, rules and regulations of each state governing
the sale of timeshare contracts).



     (d) Protection of Rights. The Servicer will take no action that would impair in any
material respect the rights of any of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in the Pledged Loans or
any other Collateral, or violate the Collateral Agency Agreement.



     (e) Credit Standards and Collection Policies. The Servicer will comply in all
material respects with the Credit Standards and Collection Policies and Customary Practices with
respect to each Pledged Loan.



     (f) Notice to Obligors. The Servicer will ensure that the Obligor of each Pledged
Loan either:



          (1) has been instructed, pursuant to the Servicer’s routine distribution of a periodic
statement to such Obligor next succeeding:





	 	(A)	 	the date the Loan becomes a Pledged Loan, or
	 
	 	(B)	 	the day on which a PAC ceased to apply to such
Pledged Loan, in the case of a Pledged Loan formerly subject to a PAC,




but in no event later than the then next succeeding due date for a Scheduled Payment under the
related Pledged Loan, to remit Scheduled Payments thereunder to a Post Office Box for credit to


72









 






the Control Account, or directly to the Control Account, in each case maintained at the Control
Account Bank pursuant to the terms of the Control Agreement,




          (2) has entered into a PAC, pursuant to which a deposit account of such Obligor is made
subject to a pre-authorized debit in respect of Scheduled Payments as they become due and payable,
and the Servicer has taken, and has caused each of the Control Account Bank and/or the Trustee to
take, all necessary and appropriate action to ensure that each such pre-authorized debit is
credited directly to the Control Account or the Collection Account,




          (3) has authorized Scheduled Payments from a credit card of such Obligor pursuant to a Credit
Card Account; or




          (4) has agreed to make payments to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.




     (g) Relocation of Servicer. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from
which it services Pledged Loans within the United States of America.



     (h) Instruments. The Servicer will not remove any portion of the Pledged Loans or
other collateral that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other
writing (including any Pledged Loan) from the jurisdiction in which it is then held unless the
Trustee has first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Lien created by this
Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such
action or actions; provided, however, that the Custodian, the Collateral Agent and
the Servicer may remove Loans from such jurisdiction to the extent necessary to satisfy any
requirement of law or court order, in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial
Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and this Indenture.



     (i) Loan Schedule. The Servicer will promptly amend the Loan Schedule to reflect
terms or discrepancies that become known to the Servicer at any time.



     (j) Segregation of Collections. The Servicer will:




     (i) prevent the deposit into any Account of any funds other than Collections or other
funds to be deposited into such Account under this Indenture (provided that, this
covenant shall not be breached to the extent that funds are inadvertently deposited into any
of such Accounts and are promptly segregated and removed from the Account); and




     (ii) with respect to the Control Account either (a) prevent the deposit into such
account of any funds other than Collections in respect of Pledged Loans or (b) enter into an
intercreditor agreement with other entities which have an interest in the amounts in such
Control Account to allocate the Collections with respect to Pledged Loans to the Issuer and
transfer such amounts to the Trustee for deposit into the appropriate Collection Account
(provided that, the covenant in clause (a) of this paragraph (ii) shall not be
breached to the extent funds not constituting Collections in respect of Pledged Loans are
inadvertently deposited into such Control Account and are promptly segregated and remitted
to the owner thereof).



73









 





     (k) Terminate or Reject Loans. Except to the extent necessary to address defects in
the sales process or in cases of exceptional hardship of the Obligor, and without limiting anything
in subsection 6.2(b), the Servicer will not terminate any Pledged Loan prior to the end of the term
of such Loan, whether such early termination is made pursuant to an equitable cause, statute,
regulation, judicial proceeding or other applicable law, unless prior to such termination, the
Issuer consents and any related Pledged Assets have been released from the Lien of this Indenture.



     (l) Change in Business or Credit Standards and Collection Policies. The Servicer will
not make any change in the Credit Standards and Collection Policies or deviate from the exercise of
Customary Practices, which change or deviation would materially impair the value or collectibility
of any Pledged Loan.



     (m) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Servicer shall maintain and
implement administrative and operating procedures (including without limitation an ability to
recreate records evidencing the Pledged Loans in the event of the destruction or loss of the
originals thereof) and keep and maintain, all documents, books, records and other information
reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Pledged Loans (including without
limitation records adequate to permit the daily identification of all Collections with respect to,
and adjustments of amounts payable under, each Pledged Loan).



     (n) Recordation of Collateral Assignments. The Servicer will cause the collateral
Assignment of Mortgage to the Collateral Agent to be perfected as provided in the WVRI Master Loan
Purchase Agreement, except that the Servicer shall not be required to file or cause the filing of
such collateral Assignment of Mortgage to the extent the related Vacation Ownership Interest is
located in the State of Florida and the Servicer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that no recordings or filings of the Assignment of Mortgage are necessary under the laws of
the State of Florida to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Mortgages
incumbering Florida Vacation Ownership Interests. If the Servicer is unable to obtain the opinion
described in the preceding sentence, then the Servicer will take or cause to be taken such action
as is required to record the Assignment of Mortgage with respect to the Vacation Ownership
Interests located in the State of Florida.



Section 7.12 Servicer not to Resign.




     The entity then serving as Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it hereunder except upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder
is no longer permissible under applicable law; (ii) there is no reasonable action which can be
taken to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law; and (iii) a
Successor Servicer shall have been appointed and accepted the duties as Servicer pursuant to
Section 12.2. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause
(i) of the preceding sentence shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered
to the Trustee. No such resignation shall be effective until a Successor Servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 12.2.



Section 7.13 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of Servicer.




74









 








     The Servicer shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey or
transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:



          (i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Servicer is merged or the
Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Servicer
substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and, if the Servicer is
not the surviving entity, shall expressly assume by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and
delivered to the Trustee in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the performance of every covenant and
obligation of the Servicer hereunder;




          (ii) the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental
agreement comply with this Section 7.13, and all conditions precedent provided for herein relating
to such transaction have been satisfied;




          (iii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such consolidation,
amendment, merger, conveyance or transfer; and




          (iv) immediately prior to and after the consummation of such merger, consolidation, conveyance
or transfer, no event which, with notice or passage of time or both, would become a Servicer
Default under the terms of this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing.




Section 7.14 Examination of Records.




     Each of the Issuer and the Servicer shall clearly and unambiguously identify each Pledged Loan
in its respective computer or other records to reflect that such Pledged Loan has been Granted to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture. Each of the Issuer and the Servicer shall, prior
to the sale or transfer to a third party of any Loan similar to the Pledged Loans held in its
custody, examine its computer and other records to determine that such Loan is not a Pledged Loan.



Section 7.15 Delegation of Duties.




     In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer, including any Successor Servicer, may at any
time delegate any duties hereunder to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture. Any such delegations shall not constitute a resignation within
the meaning of Section 7.12 of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, or in any agreement relating to such delegations, the Servicer shall remain obligated and
liable to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders for the servicing and
administration of the Pledged Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the
Pledged Loans.



Section 7.16 Servicer Advances.




75









 








     On or before each Determination Date the Servicer may deposit into the Collection Account an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of Servicer Advances, if any, with respect to Scheduled
Payments on Pledged Loans (which are not Defaulted Loans) for the preceding Due Period which are
not received on or prior to such Payment Date. Such Servicer Advances shall be included as
Available Funds. None of the Servicer, any Successor Servicer or the Trustee, acting as Servicer,
shall have any obligation to make any Servicer Advance and may refuse to make a Servicer Advance
for any reason or no reason. The Servicer shall not make any Servicer Advance that, after
reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, it determines is unlikely to be ultimately
recoverable from subsequent payments or collections or otherwise with respect to the Pledged Loan
with respect to which such Servicer Advance is proposed to be made.



Section 7.17 Delivery of Monthly Files.




     The Servicer shall on or before the Determination Date in each calendar month deliver to the
Collateral Agent an electronic file containing with respect to each Pledged Loan the loan number,
the principal balance of the loan and the next payment due date for such loan.

     In addition, the Servicer shall at the reasonable request of the Trustee, the Issuer or a
Rating Agency, furnish to the Trustee, the Issuer or such Rating Agency such underlying data as can
be generated by the Servicer’s existing data processing system without undue modification or
expense; provided, however, nothing in this Section 8.2 shall permit any of the
Trustee, the Issuer or any Rating Agency to materially change or modify the ongoing data reporting
requirements under this Article VIII.

in the performance of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and
the nature and status thereof.



Section 8.4 Notices to WCF.




     In the event that WCF is not acting as Servicer, any Successor Servicer appointed and acting
pursuant to Section 12.2 shall deliver or make available to WCF each certificate and report
required to be prepared, forwarded or delivered thereafter pursuant to the provisions of this
Article VIII.



Section 8.5 Tax Reporting.




     The Trustee shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and furnish or

the Control Agreement to which it is party, the Control Account Bank shall be irrevocably
instructed to initiate an electronic transfer of all funds on deposit in the Control Account that
are derived from Pledged Loans, to the Collection Account on the Business Day on which such funds
become available. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall be authorized

hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, as the Issuer’s attorney-in-fact, to endorse any item
deposited in the Control Account, or presented for deposit in the Control Account or the Collection

Noteholders expressly disclaim any such obligation and liability.



Section 10.2 Tax Indemnification.




     The Issuer agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee, any
Successor Servicer, and the Noteholders from, any taxes which may at any time be asserted with

expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, in respect of any action taken, or failure to take
any action by such entity as Servicer (but not by any predecessor or successor Servicer) with
respect to this Indenture or any Pledged Loan; provided, however, such indemnity
shall apply only in respect of any negligent action taken, or negligent failure to take any action,
or reckless disregard of duties hereunder, or bad faith or willful misconduct by the Servicer. This
indemnity shall survive any Service Transfer (but a Servicer’s obligations under this Section 10.3

and (f) an Event of Default shall occur upon the occurrence of the event, the passage of the
applicable grace period, if any, and the declaration that such event shall constitute an
Event of Default, which declaration shall be made by the Trustee or the Noteholders of at
least 50% of the Principal Amount of the Notes.



     If an Event of Default has occurred under subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) or (f) it shall
continue unless waived in writing by the Majority Holders.



     Promptly after the automatic occurrence of an Event of Default, and, in any event, within two
Business Days thereafter, the Trustee shall notify each Noteholder and each Rating Agency of the
occurrence thereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof
based upon receipt of written information or other communication.



     Promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and, in any event, within two Business
Days thereafter, the Trustee shall also notify any party to be notified of such Events of Default
under the Title Clearing Agreements, to the extent applicable, of the occurrence thereof to the
extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof based upon receipt of
written information or other communication.



Section 11.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.




     (a) If any Event of Default occurs under subparagraph (d) of Section 11.1, the principal of
the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will automatically be accelerated and
become immediately due and payable.



     If any other Event of Default occurs, the Majority Holders may accelerate the Notes by
declaring the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be
immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee and upon any such
declaration such principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable.



     (b) At any time after such an acceleration or declaration of acceleration of the Notes has
been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee as provided in this Indenture, such acceleration may be rescinded by the Majority Holders
of the Principal Amount by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.



80









 





     (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and the Notes have been accelerated, Available Funds
will continue to be used to make payments, including payments of interest and principal on the
Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payment; provided, however, if the Trustee
has sold the Collateral under this Indenture, then payments shall be made as provided in Section
11.7.



Section 11.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.




     The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and such acceleration has not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer shall, upon demand
of the Trustee, pay to it, 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 and upon overdue
installments of interest, as determined for the Notes, to the extent that payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; provided,
however, the amount due under this Section 11.3 shall not exceed the aggregate proceeds
from the sale of the relevant Collateral and amounts otherwise held by the Issuer and available for
such purpose.



     Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer shall pay the principal of and interest
on the Notes to the Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders to be applied as provided in
this Indenture, whether or not the Notes are overdue.



     If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, then the Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders and as trustee of an express trust, may, with the prior written consent
of or shall at the direction of the Majority Holders, institute suits in equity, actions at law or
other legal, judicial or administrative proceedings (each, a “Proceeding”) for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to
be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral wherever situated. In the event a
Proceeding shall involve the liquidation of Collateral, the Trustee shall pay all costs and
expenses for such Proceeding and shall be reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the resulting
liquidation proceeds. In the event that the Trustee determines that liquidation proceeds will not
be sufficient to fully reimburse the Trustee, the Trustee shall receive indemnity satisfactory to
it against such costs and expenses from the Noteholders (which indemnity may include, at the
Trustee’s option, consent by each Noteholder authorizing the Trustee to be reimbursed from amounts
available in the Collection Account).



     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, with the prior written
consent of or shall at the direction of the Majority Holders, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and under the Notes, by such appropriate
Proceedings as are necessary to effectuate, protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant, agreement, obligation or indemnity in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.



Section 11.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




81









 








     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other Proceeding relative to the Issuer or
the property of the Issuer or its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of
the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise,



     (a) to file a proof of claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid
in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents and take such actions as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in such Proceeding, and



     (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same to the Noteholders;


and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar official) in any
such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the
Trustee under Article XIII.




     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding.



Section 11.5 Remedies.




     (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent (upon direction by the Trustee) may, with the prior written consent of, or shall
at the direction of the Majority Holders, do one or more of the following (subject to Section
11.6):




     (1) 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, whether by
declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Collateral
monies adjudged due;




     (2) obtain possession of the Pledged Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Custodial Agreement and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interests
therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted
by law and in accordance with Section 11.13;




     (3) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust from time
to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Collateral;



82









 






     (4) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the
Collateral (including any Accounts), take any other appropriate action to protect and
enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee or the Holders under this Indenture and each
other agreement contemplated hereby (including retaining the Collateral pursuant to Section
11.6 and applying distributions from the Collateral pursuant to Section 11.7); and




     (5) exercise any rights or remedies under this Indenture, the Performance Guaranty or
any other Transaction Document;


provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent may sell or
otherwise liquidate the Collateral which constitutes Pledged Loans and Pledged Assets following an
Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in this Indenture resulting from an
Insolvency Event, unless either (i) the Holders of 100% of the Principal Amount of the Notes then
outstanding, consent thereto; (ii) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to
discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and Accrued Interest
and the fees and all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 11.7; or (iii) the
holders of 66 2/3% of the Principal Amount consent thereto and the 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 would not have been declared due
and payable. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Holders of 100% of the
Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding direct the Trustee to sell or otherwise liquidate
the Collateral, the Trustee will dispose of the Collateral as directed.




     For purposes of clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph and Section 11.6, the
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an independent accountant or an
independent investment banking firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the distributions and other amounts receivable with respect to
the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, and any
such opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency. The Issuer shall
bear the reasonable costs and expenses of any such opinion.



     For purposes of this Section 11.5, the Trustee agrees to take all actions requested or
directed by the Holders of 100% of the Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding as provided
for in this Section 11.5.



     (b) In addition to the remedies provided in Section 11.5(a), the Trustee may with the consent
of and shall at the direction of the Majority Holders institute a Proceeding in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust solely to compel performance of a covenant, agreement, obligation or
indemnity or to cure the representation or warranty or statement, the breach of which gave rise to
the Event of Default; and the Trustee shall enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such
Proceeding.



Section 11.6 Optional Preservation of Collateral.




     If the Notes have been accelerated following an Event of Default and such acceleration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, to the extent permitted by law, the Trustee at
the request of the Requisite Percentage shall retain the Collateral securing the Notes



83









 







intact for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and in such event it shall deposit all
funds received with respect to the Collateral into the Collection Account and apply such funds in
accordance with the payment priorities set forth in this Indenture, as if there had not been such
an acceleration. So long as the Trustee retains the Collateral, the Trustee shall continue to
apply all distributions received on such Collateral in accordance with this Indenture.



Section 11.7 Application of Monies Collected During Event of Default.




     If the Notes have been accelerated following an Event of Default and such acceleration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee has sold the Collateral, the
proceeds collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article XI or otherwise with respect to the
Notes shall be applied as provided below:




     FIRST, to the Trustee in payment of the Monthly Trustee Fees and in reimbursement of
permitted expenses of the Trustee under each of the Transaction Documents to which the
Trustee is a party and amounts due to the Trustee as indemnification; in the event of a
Servicer Default and the replacement of the Servicer with the Trustee or a Successor
Servicer, the costs and expenses of replacing the Servicer shall be permitted expenses of
the Trustee;




     SECOND, to the Servicer, the Monthly Servicer Fee and any unreimbursed Servicer
Advances made in respect of any prior Payment Dates plus any accrued and unpaid Monthly
Servicer Fees;




     THIRD, to the extent not previously paid pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, to the
Custodian, the Monthly Custodian Fee, plus any accrued and unpaid Monthly Custodian Fees for
prior Payment Dates;




     FOURTH, to the extent not paid by the Servicer, to the Collateral Agent, the Monthly
Collateral Agent Fee plus any accrued and unpaid Monthly Collateral Agent Fees for prior
Payment Dates;




     FIFTH, (A) to the holders of the Notes, Accrued Interest owing on the Notes, and then,
(B) to the holders of the Notes the Principal Amount of the Notes, until such amounts are
reduced to zero;




     SIXTH, to the Trustee, any other amounts due to the Trustee under this Indenture; and




     SEVENTH, to Issuer, any remaining amounts free and clear of the lien of this Indenture.



Section 11.8 Limitation on Suits by Individual Noteholders.




     Subject to Section 11.9, 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:



84









 





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



     (b) the Majority Holders shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;



     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and



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


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




Section 11.9 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.




     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than Section 2.16, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which right is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment as
provided in this Indenture of the principal and interest on such Note on the respective due dates
thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture 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 11.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.




     If the 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 Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Issuer, the 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 Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had
been instituted.



Section 11.11 Waiver of Event of Default.




     Prior to the Trustee’s acquisition of a money judgment or decree for payment, in either case
for the payment of all amounts owing by the Issuer in connection with this Indenture and the Notes
issued hereunder, the Majority Holders have the right to waive any Event of Default and its
consequences.



     Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and be deemed to have been
cured, for every purpose of this Indenture but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.




85












 





Section 11.12 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, which 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, on the basis of any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law had been enacted.



Section 11.13 Sale of Collateral.




     (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant
to Section 11.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such
Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have
been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid, whichever occurs later. The
Trustee may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place
of such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as
compensation for any Sale. The Trustee may reimburse itself from the proceeds of any sale for the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sale. The net proceeds of such sale
shall be applied as provided in this Indenture.



     (b) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale
thereof. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of
the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Collateral in
connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser
or transferee at such Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.



Section 11.14 Action on Notes.




     The 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. None of the rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders hereunder
shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee or any Noteholder against the
Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral.



Section 11.15 Control by the Noteholders.




     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Holders shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee;
provided that



86









 






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




     (ii) any direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral which constitutes
Loans and the related Pledged Assets shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.5 and
11.6; and




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


provided, however, that, subject to Section 13.1, the Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has been provided with reasonable
indemnity against such liability.




ARTICLE XII




SERVICER DEFAULTS




Section 12.1 Servicer Defaults.




     If any one of the following events (each, a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be
continuing:



     (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date
such payment, transfer or deposit is required to be made or given by the Servicer under the terms
of this Indenture and such failure remains unremedied for two Business Days; provided,
however, that if the Servicer is unable to make a payment, transfer or deposit when due and
such failure is as a result of circumstances beyond the Servicer’s control, the grace period shall
be extended to five Business Days;



     (b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or
agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which
the Servicer is a party and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the
earlier of the date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge of the failure and the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more of the
Principal Amount of the Notes;



     (c) any representation and warranty made by the Servicer in this Indenture shall prove to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made and has a material and adverse impact on the
Trustee’s interest in the Pledged Loans and other Pledged Assets and the Servicer is not in
compliance with such representation or warranty within 30 Business Days after the earlier of the
date on which the Servicer has actual knowledge of such breach and the date on which written notice
of such breach requiring that such breach be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Trustee or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more of the Principal Amount of
the Notes;



87









 





     (d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor;
or



     (e) the Servicer shall fail to deliver the reports described in Section 8.1 of this Indenture
and such failure shall continue for five Business Days.


THEN, so long as such Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Holders of Requisite Percentage by
notice then given in writing to the Servicer, the Issuer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency (a
“Termination Notice”), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as
Servicer under this Indenture (such termination being herein called a “Service Transfer”).
After receipt by the Servicer and the Trustee of such Termination Notice and subject to the terms
of Section 12.2(a), the Trustee shall automatically assume the responsibilities of the Servicer
hereunder until the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section
12.2 and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Indenture shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee or such Successor Servicer, as the case may be, without further action on the part
of any Person, and, without limitation, the Trustee at the direction of the Holders of Requisite
Percentage (which authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) is hereby
authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon
the failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
transfer of servicing rights.




     The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder,
including without limitation the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the
Servicer to service the Pledged Loans provided for under this Indenture, including without
limitation all authority over any Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the
Servicer for deposit in the Control Account or which shall thereafter be received by the Servicer
with respect to the Pledged Loans, and in assisting the Successor Servicer in enforcing all rights
under this Indenture including, without limitation, allowing the Successor Servicer’s personnel
access to the Servicer’s premises for the purpose of collecting payments on the Pledged Loans made
at such premises. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records relating to the
Pledged Loans to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may
reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records,
correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Pledged Loans in the
manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall
allow the Successor Servicer access to the Servicer’s officers and employees. To the extent that
compliance with this Section 12.1 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer
information of any kind which the Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor
Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as
the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest and as shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to the Successor Servicer. The Servicer hereby consents to the entry against it of an
order for preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctive relief by any court of competent
jurisdiction, to ensure compliance by the Servicer with the provisions of this paragraph.



88









 





Section 12.2 Appointment of Successor.




     (a) Appointment. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice
pursuant to Section 12.1, or any permitted resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.12,
the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Indenture until the date
specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee or until a date mutually
agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee. Upon receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice,
the Trustee, at the direction of the Requisite Percentage, shall as promptly as possible after the
giving of a Termination Notice appoint a successor servicer (in any case, the “Successor
Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in
a form acceptable to the Trustee; provided that such appointment shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. In the event a Successor Servicer has not been
appointed and accepted the appointment by the date of termination stated in the Termination Notice
the Trustee shall automatically assume responsibility for performing the servicing functions under
this Indenture on the date of such termination. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not
been appointed and has not accepted its appointment and the Trustee is legally unable or otherwise
not capable of assuming responsibility for performing the servicing functions under this Indenture,
the Trustee shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes
the servicing of receivables similar to the Pledged Loans or other consumer finance receivables;
provided, however, pending the appointment of a Successor Servicer, the Trustee
will act as the Successor Servicer.



     (b) Duties and Obligations of Successor Servicer. Upon its appointment, the Successor
Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions
under this Indenture and shall be subject to all the responsibilities and duties relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Indenture to
the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer.



     (c) Compensation of Successor Servicer; Costs and Expenses of Servicing Transfer. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make arrangements for the
compensation of the Successor Servicer. The costs and expenses of transferring servicing shall be
paid by the Servicer which is resigning or being replaced and to the extent such costs and expenses
are not so paid, shall be paid from Collections as provided herein in Sections 3.1 and 11.7.



Section 12.3 Notification to Noteholders.




     Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default or any event which, with the giving of notice or
passage of time or both, would become a Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Trustee and the Issuer and the Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders
at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register. Upon any termination or appointment
of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Issuer and to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note
Register.



89









 





Section 12.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.




     With respect to a Servicer Default described in Section 12.1, the Majority Holders may, on
behalf of all Holders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease
to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
of this Indenture. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.



Section 12.5 Termination of Servicer’s Authority.




     All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Indenture shall automatically cease
and terminate upon termination of this Indenture pursuant to Section 14.1, and shall pass to and be
vested in the Issuer and without limitation the Issuer is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and
other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights upon termination of this Indenture. The
Servicer shall cooperate with the Issuer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing on the Pledged Loans. The Servicer shall transfer its
electronic records relating to the Pledged Loans to the Issuer in such electronic form as Issuer
may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents relating
to the Pledged Loans to the Issuer in the manner and at such times as the Issuer shall reasonably
request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 12.5 shall require the Servicer to
disclose information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential, the Issuer shall be
required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer
shall deem necessary to protect its interests and as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Issuer.



Section 12.6 Matters Related to Successor Servicer.




     The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the Servicer’s
failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Servicer or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer.



     The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt and safe
transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing
files and records, including (as deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time): (i)
microfiche loan documentation; (ii) servicing system tapes; (iii) Pledged Loan payment history;
(iv) collections history; and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting all applicable Pledged Loan
information.



     Any Successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was
required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the Successor Servicer
becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the
predecessor Servicer.



90









 





     The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor
incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its
duties under this Indenture if any such failure or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting
in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer
or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The Successor Servicer
shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act
or failure to act by any third party, including the Servicer, the Issuer or the Trustee or for any
inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from any
third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Pledged
Loan under applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made
with respect to any Pledged Loan.



     If the Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the role of Successor Servicer
hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to appoint subservicers whenever it shall be
deemed necessary by such Successor Servicer. The Successor Servicer shall, notwithstanding any
such subservicing arrangements, remain obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Issuer, the
Collateral Agent and the Noteholders for the servicing and administration of the Pledged Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Pledged Loans.



ARTICLE XIII




THE TRUSTEE; THE COLLATERAL AGENT; THE CUSTODIAN




Section 13.1 Duties of Trustee.




     (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the curing of all such Events of Default which
may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall have actual knowledge has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institutional trustee would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. The Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to make the withdrawals and payments from the Accounts in accordance with
the instructions set forth in this Indenture until the termination of this Indenture in accordance
with Section 14.1 unless this appointment is earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.



     (b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports,
documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether
they conform to such requirements; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Issuer or any other Person
hereunder (other than the Trustee). The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the



91









 







Noteholders of any material lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable
requirements of this Indenture discovered by the Trustee.



     (c) Subject to Section 13.1(a), no provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own gross negligence, reckless disregard of its duties, bad
faith or misconduct; provided, however, that:




     (i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or employees of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;




     (ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Indenture or at
the direction of the Majority Holders relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;




     (iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by any other party
hereto to comply with its obligations hereunder or of the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Rapid Amortization Period, Cash Accumulation Event or Servicer Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure based upon
receipt of written information or other communication or a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Issuer or any
Noteholder. In the absence of receipt of notice or actual knowledge by a Responsible
Officer, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default, Rapid
Amortization Period, Cash Accumulation Event or Servicer Default; and




     (iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee shall have actual knowledge or have received notice and after all the curing of
all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct
or negligence on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture.



     (d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (which
adequate indemnity may include, at the Trustee’s option, consent by the Majority Holders
authorizing the Trustee to be reimbursed for any funds from amounts available in the Collection
Account), and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the



92









 







Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations
of the Servicer under this Indenture except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture.



     (e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture, the Trustee shall take no
action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Issuer in any Pledged Loan or other
Collateral now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any Pledged Loan or other
Collateral now existing or hereafter created.



     (f) Except as provided in this Indenture, the Trustee shall have no power to dispose of or
vary any Collateral.



     (g) In the event that the Note Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or
agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Note Registrar, as the case
may be, under this Indenture, the Trustee (if it is not then the Note Registrar) shall be obligated
promptly to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.



     (h) The Trustee shall have no duty to (A) see to any recording, filing or depositing of this
Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement
evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) see to any
insurance, (C) see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge
or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part
of any Collateral other than from funds available in the Collection Account, or (D) confirm or
verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties.



Section 13.2 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.




     Except for its own gross negligence, reckless disregard of its duties, bad faith or
misconduct:



     (a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected from liability to the Issuer and the
Noteholders in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any resolution, Officer’s
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, conversation, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons;



     (b) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice of counsel (including without
limitation counsel to the Issuer or the Servicer) shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability to the Issuer and the Noteholders in respect to any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of
counsel;



93









 





     (c) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the
occurrence of any Servicer Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or have received notice (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs;



     (d) neither the Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by the Trustee or such Person in good faith and believed by such Person to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, nor
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any other party hereto;



     (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated
in any Monthly Servicing Report, any other report or statement delivered to the Trustee by the
Servicer, resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
the Majority Holders; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action;



     (f) subject to Section 3.6, the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian,
and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder;



     (g) except as may be required by Section 13.1(b), the Trustee shall not be required to make
any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Pledged Loans for
the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Servicer or
the Issuer with their respective representations and warranties or for any other purpose;



     (h) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the performance of
such act; and



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



Section 13.3 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Notes or Use of Proceeds of Notes.




94









 








     The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and
in the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes) or for any statements,
representations or warranties made herein by any Person other than the Trustee (except as expressly
set forth herein). Except as set forth in Section 13.14, the Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Notes) or of any Pledged Loan or related document. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application of funds properly withdrawn from any
Account on the instructions of the Servicer or for the use or application by the Issuer of the
proceeds of any of the Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Issuer in
respect of the Pledged Loans. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of
this Indenture or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Notes
issued or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or
maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this
Indenture.



Section 13.4 Trustee May Own Notes; Trustee in its Individual Capacity.




     Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of
business with the Issuer or the Servicer as though Wells Fargo Bank, National Association were not
acting in such capacity hereunder and without any duty to account therefor. Nothing contained in
this Indenture shall limit in any way the ability of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and
its Affiliates to act as a trustee or in a similar capacity for other interval ownership and lot
contract and installment note financings pursuant to agreements similar to this Indenture.



Section 13.5 Trustee’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.




     The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from time to time pursuant to this Indenture and the
Trustee Fee Letter, (a) such compensation as shall be agreed to between the Issuer and the Trustee
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder as the Trustee and to be
reimbursed for its out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), incurred or paid
in establishing, administering and carrying out its duties under this Indenture or the Collateral
Agency Agreement and (b) subject to Section 10.3, the Issuer and the Servicer agree, jointly and
severally, to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee (without reimbursement from
any Account or otherwise) upon its request for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever (including without limitation fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which may at
any time (including without limitation at any time following the termination of this Indenture and
payment on account of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee in any
way relating to or arising out of this Indenture, the Collateral Agency Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which the Trustee is a party or the transactions contemplated hereby or any
action taken or omitted by the Trustee



95









 







under or in connection with any of the foregoing except for those liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
solely from the gross negligence, reckless disregard of its duties, bad faith or willful misconduct
of the Trustee and except that if the Trustee is appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to Section
12.2, the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances
made or incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Servicer. The agreements in this
Section 13.5 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and all amounts payable on account of the Notes.



     Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be
liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but
not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage and regardless of the form of action.



Section 13.6 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.




     The Trustee hereunder (if other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) shall at all
times be an Eligible Institution and a corporation or banking association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and such Trustee (including Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 (or, in the case of
a successor to the initial Trustee, $100,000,000), and be subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such corporation or banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal or state supervising

of such corporation or banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.6, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 13.7.



Section 13.7 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

appoint a successor trustee meeting the requirements of Section 13.6 and the Servicer shall notify
the Trustee and each Rating Agency of such appointment by written instrument, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If
no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Majority Holders. The
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment
in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly
situated, or the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.



96

or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer may remove the Trustee and promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.



     (c) At any time, the Majority Holders, to the extent permitted by law, may remove the Trustee
and promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

to any of the provisions of this Section 13.7 shall not become effective until acceptance of

become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee
shall deliver to the successor Trustee all money, documents and other property held by it
hereunder; and Issuer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor Trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations.



     (b) No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 13.8 unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 13.6.



     (c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 13.8,
such successor Trustee shall mail notice of such succession hereunder to the Trustee, the Issuer,
the Servicer and all Noteholders at their addresses as shown in the Note Register.

consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided, such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 13.6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.



97









 





Section 13.10 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 requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the
time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and subject to the other provisions of this Section 13.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
and trusts as the 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
13.6 and no notice to the Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 13.8.



     (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 Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any laws of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Collateral, or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;




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




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



     (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture
and the conditions of this Article XIII. 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 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 Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.



     (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee as its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do



98









 







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



Section 13.11 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.




     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the benefit of the Noteholders as their interests appear in this Indenture.



Section 13.12 Suits for Enforcement.




     If an Event of Default or a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in
its discretion may or at the direction of the Requisite Percentage shall, subject to the provisions
of Article XI with respect to an Event of Default or Section 12.1 with respect to a Servicer
Default, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this
Indenture by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the
execution of any power granted in this Indenture or for the enforcement of any other legal,
equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders.



Section 13.13 Rights of the Noteholders to Direct the Trustee.




     The Majority Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 13.1, the Trustee shall
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith
shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the
proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Noteholders not parties to such direction, or if the Trustee has not
been offered reasonable security or indemnity, as contemplated by Section 13.2, by the Majority
Holders; and provided further, that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the
right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent
with such direction by the Noteholders.



Section 13.14 Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.




     The Trustee represents and warrants that:

existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States;



99









 





     (b) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this

legal, valid and binding agreement of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and except as
such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at
law or in equity).



Section 13.15 Maintenance of Office or Agency.




     The Trustee will maintain at its expense in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or offices or
agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Issuer, the
Servicer and the Noteholders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.



Section 13.16 No Assessment.




     Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s agreement to act as Trustee hereunder shall not
constitute or be construed as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s assessment of the Issuer’s
or any Obligor’s creditworthiness or a credit analysis of any Loans.



Section 13.17 UCC Filings and Title Certificates.




     The Trustee and the Noteholders expressly recognize and agree that the Collateral Agent may be
listed as the secured party of record on the various Financing Statements required to be filed
under this Indenture in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral, and such listing
will not affect in any way the respective status of the other secured parties under the Collateral
Agency Agreement as the holders of their respective interests in other collateral. In addition,
such listing shall impose no duties on the Collateral Agent other than those expressly and
specifically undertaken in accordance with this Indenture and the Collateral Agency Agreement.



Section 13.18 Replacement of the Custodian.




     Each of the Issuer and the Servicer agree not to replace the Custodian then acting as

The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee, and the Collateral Agent of any release
pursuant to this Section 14.5 not less than two Business Days prior to the Payment Date on which
such release is to be effected, specifying the Defaulted Loan and the Release Price therefor. The
Issuer shall (i) pay the Release Price to the Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Payment Date on which such release is made or
(ii) deliver the Qualified Substitute Loan or Qualified Substitute Loans by 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the Payment Date on which such release is made and pay any Substitution Adjustment
Amount to the Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on such Release Date.



     (b) Substitution. If a Seller delivers to the Issuer a Qualified Substitute Loan or
Qualified Substitute Loans in lieu of payment for the repurchase of a Defaulted Loan, the Issuer
shall execute a Supplemental Grant in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto and deliver such
Supplemental Grant to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Loans on or prior to the Calculation Date next preceding the date of substitution shall
not be property of the Issuer, but, to the extent received by the Servicer, will be retained by the
Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date. Payments
due with respect to the Qualified Substitute Loans after the Calculation Date next preceding the
date of substitution shall be property of the Issuer. The Servicer shall electronically deliver a
schedule of any Defaulted Loans so removed and Qualified Substitute Loans so substituted to the
Trustee and such schedule shall be an amendment to the Loan Schedule. Upon such substitution, the
Qualified Substitute Loan or Qualified Substitute Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Indenture in all respects, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made the representations, and
warranties with respect to each Qualified Substitute Loan set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 of this
Indenture, in each case as of the date of substitution, and the Issuer shall be deemed to have made
a representation and warranty that each Loan so substituted is a Qualified Substitute Loan as of
the date of substitution. The provisions of Section 5.4(a) shall apply to any Qualified Substitute
Loan as to which the Issuer has breached the Issuer’s representations and warranties in Section 5.1
and 5.2 to the same extent as for any other Pledged Loan. In connection with the substitution of
one or more Qualified Substitute Loans for one or more Defaulted Loans, the Servicer shall
determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount. Such Substitution Adjustment Amount shall be paid to
the Trustee and treated as if it were a portion of the Release Price for the Defaulted Loan and
included in Available Funds as such.



     (c) Release of Defaulted Loans. Upon each release of a Pledged Loan under this
Section 14.5, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall automatically and without further action
release, sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all of the Collateral Agent’s and Trustee’s right, title and interest
in



102









 







and to such Defaulted Loan and the Transferred Assets related to such Defaulted Loan free and
clear of the lien of this Indenture. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall execute such
documents, releases and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall
reasonably be requested by the Issuer to effect the release of such Defaulted Loans and the related
Transferred Assets pursuant to this Section 14.5. Promptly after the occurrence of a Release Date
and after the payment for or substitution for and release of a Defaulted Loan, in respect to which
the Release Price has been paid or Qualified Substitute Loans have been provided, the Issuer shall
direct the Servicer to delete such Defaulted Loans from the Loan Schedule.



     (d) Limitations on Purchase of Defaulted Loans. The amount of Defaulted Loans for
which the Issuer is permitted to obtain a release and transfer to a Seller is limited as provided
in the WVRI Master Loan Purchase Agreement and the WRDC Master Loan Purchase Agreement and as
follows:




     (i) The Loan Balance of Pledged Loans that are WVRI Loans, that become Defaulted Loans
and that are released and transferred to any Seller, shall not exceed in the aggregate 16.0%
of the Loan Balance of the Pledged Loans as of the Cut-Off Date that were WVRI Loans; for
such purposes, the Loan Balance of a Pledged Loan shall be calculated on the day prior to
the day the Pledged Loan became a Defaulted Loan; and




     (ii) The Loan Balance of Pledged Loans that are WRDC Loans, that become Defaulted Loans
and that are released and transferred to any Seller, shall not exceed in the aggregate 16.0%
of the Loan Balance of the Pledged Loans as of the Cut-Off Date that were WRDC Loans; for
such purposes, the Loan Balance of a Pledged Loan shall be calculated on the day prior to
the day the Pledged Loan became a Defaulted Loan.



Section 14.6 Release Upon Payment in Full.




     At such time as the Notes have been paid in full, all fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent with respect to the Notes have been paid in full, all obligations relating to this
Indenture have been paid in full, then, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the written request of the
Issuer, release all liens and assign to Issuer (without recourse, representation or warranty) all
right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral, and all proceeds
thereof. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of
assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be reasonably
requested by the Issuer to release the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.

correction, modification or supplement shall not alter in any material respect, the amount
or timing of payments to or other rights of the Noteholders;




     (v) to modify transfer restrictions on the Notes, so long as any such modifications
comply with the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act; or




     (vi) make any other changes which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially

any proposed amendment or supplemental indenture prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee and,
as soon as practicable after the execution by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent of any such amendment or supplemental indenture, provide to each Rating Agency a
copy of the executed amendment or supplemental indenture, as the case may be.



     (b) Amendments and Supplemental Indentures With Consent of the Noteholders. With the
consent of the Majority Holders and upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, the Issuer,
the Servicer and the Trustee may enter into an amendment or indentures supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

Trustee will not be permitted to enter into any such supplemental indenture unless the Rating
Agency Condition is met.

indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent applicable

     (d) Effect of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any
amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section 15.1, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such amendment or supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of a Note theretofore and thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.



     (e) Reference in Notes to Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. Notes executed,

Condition has been satisfied with respect to such derivative financial instrument.



Section 15.3 Limitation on Rights of the Noteholders.

or winding up of the Collateral, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.



     (b) Nothing herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Notes, shall be construed so as
