the Authorized Denominations. 
  
 Section 2.05. Execution,

 Notes
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or was not an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee at the date of such Notes. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed on behalf of the Issuer to the
Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.

 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.02 hereof, executed by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers or employees, and
such certificate of authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.06. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register
(the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially
appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall remain the Note Registrar throughout the term hereof. Upon any resignation of the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall assume the duties of Note Registrar. 
  
 If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as
Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to
inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, acting at the
direction of the Certificateholders, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees; one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
initial Class Note Balance. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Notes
may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate Class Note Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee
shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that 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, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in the form included in Exhibit A attached hereto, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements
of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in 
  

 4 








 the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee
program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge as may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.07 or Section 9.06 hereof. 
  
 The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Note unless the Note
Registrar has received a representation letter from the transferee to the effect that either (i) the transferee is a Plan and is not, directly or indirectly, acquiring the Note or any interest therein on behalf of, as investment manager of, as
named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Note by the transferee qualifies for exemptive relief under a United States Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption
(or, if the transferee is a Governmental Plan, will not result in a violation of applicable law). Each Beneficial Owner of a Note which is a Book-Entry Note shall be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations. 
  
 Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If
(1) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (2) there is delivered to the Note Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Note Registrar to save each of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Note Registrar harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall execute and upon its delivery of a Trust Request the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note or Notes of the same tenor and aggregate initial principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If, after the delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the
original Note in lieu of which such new Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the note Registrar, shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Note Registrar in connection therewith. If any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note shall have become or shall be about to become due and payable, or shall have become subject to redemption in full, instead of issuing a new Note, the Issuer may pay such Note without surrender thereof,
except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered. 
  
 Upon the
issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Note Registrar, may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation
of the Issuer, whether or not the 
  

 5 








 destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

  
 Section 2.08. Payments of Principal and Interest.
(a) Payments on Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes will be made by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to the Clearing Agency or its nominee. Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Definitive Notes that is punctually paid or
duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Class of Notes and such Payment
Date by either (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of a Noteholder, if such Noteholder has provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions in writing by five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record

respect to ownership and transfer of such Notes, and registration of the Notes may not be transferred by the Note Registrar except upon the termination of the book-entry system as described in Section 2.13. In such case, the Note Registrar
shall deal with the Clearing Agency as representative of the Beneficial Owners of such Notes for purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders hereunder. Each payment of principal of and interest on a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Clearing
Agency, which shall credit the amount of such payments to the accounts of its Clearing Agency Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Clearing Agency Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such payments to the Beneficial
Owners of the Book-Entry Notes that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each 
  

 9 








 brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Notes that it
represents. All such credits and disbursements are to be made by the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Notes. None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, if any, or the Issuer shall
have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Requests and directions from, and votes of, such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners.

  
 Section 2.13. Termination of Book Entry System.
(a) The book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Book-Entry Notes may be terminated upon the happening of any of the following: 
  

(i) The Clearing Agency advises the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the Notes and a qualified successor Clearing Agency satisfactory to the Servicer is not located, on behalf of the Trust; or 
  
 (ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default (at which time the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify
the Clearing Agency of such Event of Default and instruct the Clearing Agency to forward such notice to the Beneficial Owners), the Beneficial Owners representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Book-Entry Notes
advise the Indenture Trustee in writing, through the related Clearing Agency Participants and the Clearing Agency, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency to the exclusion of any Definitive Notes being issued to any
person other than the Clearing Agency or its nominee is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of any event described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.13, the Indenture Trustee shall instruct the Clearing Agency
to notify all Beneficial Owners, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the same, in an aggregate outstanding Class Note Balance representing the interest of each, making such
adjustments and allowances as it may find necessary or appropriate as to accrued interest and previous calls for redemption. Definitive Notes shall be issued only upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the global Note by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions for the Definitive Notes. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon issuance of the Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall cease to be applicable and the provisions relating to Definitive Notes shall be applicable.

a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Notes if at any time the Paying Agent ceases to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its
appointment; 
  
 (d) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture
Trustee, give the Indenture Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to any Notes for which it is acting as Paying Agent; 
  
 (e) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the
continuance of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent. 
  
 The Issuer may

such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee in the same trusts as such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money. 
  

 12 








 Any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due
with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two and one-half years after such amount has become due and payable to the Holder of such Note (or if earlier, three months before the date on which such amount would escheat to a governmental
entity under applicable law) shall be discharged from such trust and paid to the Trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the
amounts so paid to the Trust), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee may adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not
claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or an), Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

consolidation to the contrary notwithstanding (other than Section 3.09(g)). 
  
 (c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other succession to the Issuer in accordance with this Section 3.04, the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Trust) may

the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 3.15. Representation and Warranties of the Issuer.

  
 (a) The Issuer represents and warrants to the Indenture
Trustee, the Swap Provider, the Depositor, the Sponsor and the Servicer that the Issuer is duly authorized under applicable law and the Trust Agreement to create and issue the Notes, to execute and deliver this Indenture, the Swap Agreement, the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the other documents referred to herein to which it is a party and all instruments included in the Collateral which it has executed and delivered, and that all Issuer action and governmental consents, authorizations and
approvals necessary or required therefor have been duly and effectively taken or obtained. The Notes, when issued, will be, and this Indenture and such other documents are, valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or in law. 
  
 (b) The Issuer represents and warrants that, immediately prior to its Grant of the Collateral provided for herein, it had good title to, and was the sole
owner of, the Mortgage Loans, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. 
  
 (c) The Issuer represents and warrants that the Indenture Trustee has a valid and enforceable first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
subject only to exceptions permitted hereby. 
  
 (d) The Issuer
represents and warrants it is not required to be registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act. 
  
 (e) This Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and shall be deemed to create a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. 
  
 (f) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against
the Mortgage Loans that includes a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not
aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer. 
  
 (g) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. 
  

 17 








 (h) The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdiction under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Mortgage Loans granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder. The Issuer has in its possession all original
copies of the mortgage notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans. The mortgage notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed
to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or any subsequent assignee, without limitation) in connection herewith describing the Mortgage Loans
contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in, any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.” 
  
 (i) The mortgage notes evidencing the Mortgage Loans constitute instruments,
and the derivative evidenced by the Swap Agreement constitutes general intangibles, within the meaning of the applicable UCC. 
  
 (j) The Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Indenture, take such additional reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Indenture were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets of the Collateral, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the life of this Indenture. 
  
 The foregoing
representations and warranties may not be waived and shall survive the issuance of the Notes. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

for cancellation, for principal and interest to the Final Stated Maturity Date or to the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and in the case of Notes that were not paid at the Final Stated Maturity Date of their entire unpaid Class Note

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, the obligations of the Indenture Trustee and any Paying Agent to the Issuer and the Holders of Notes under Section 3.03 hereof, the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to the Holders of Notes under Section 4.02 hereof

 21 








 whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any

the Notes in respect of which such Event of Default has occurred. If there is a foreclosure of any such liens, assignments, rights and security interests under this Indenture, by private power of sale or otherwise, no judgment for any deficiency
upon the indebtedness represented by the Notes may be sought or obtained by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder against the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses expended by it pursuant to this Article

Code and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes hereunder; and 
  
 (e) refrain from selling the Trust Estate and apply all funds on deposit in each of the Accounts pursuant to Section 5.07 hereof.

such other obligor or their creditors, the Indenture Trustee irrespective of whether the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand on the Issuer for the payment of any overdue principal or interest shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise to: 
  

(a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and file such other papers or

Noteholders allowed in such Proceeding; and 
  

 22 








 (b) collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; 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 Indenture Trustee and, in the event that
the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its
agents and counsel. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any of the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding. 
  
 Section 5.06. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of

direction of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered after payment of amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (i) of Section 5.07 hereof.

of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, any money collected by the Indenture Trustee with respect to each Class of Notes pursuant to this Article V or otherwise and any other monies that may then be
held or thereafter received by the Indenture Trustee as security for such Class of Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in case of the payment of the entire amount due on account of

each installment of principal of such Note when due (or, in the case of any Note called for redemption, on the date fixed for such redemption) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 5.10.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined to be adverse to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of a, right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission
of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

  
 Section 5.13. Control by Noteholders. The Holders
of Notes representing more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes on the applicable Record Date shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture

 (a) such written direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 
  
 (b) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing the percentage of the
Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes specified in Section 5.17(b)(i) hereof, unless Section 5.17(b)(ii) hereof is applicable; and 
  

 26 








 (c) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not
consenting. 
  
 Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes on the applicable Record Date may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

  
 (a) in the payment of principal or any installment of
interest on any Note; and 
  
 (b) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof that under Section 9.02 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee to any suit
instituted by any Noteholder, or Class of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate Notes representing more than 10% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
any Interest Payment Amount or Base Principal Distribution Amount on any Note on or after the related Payment Date or for the enforcement of the payment of principal of any Note on or after the Final Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of any Note
called for redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date). 
  
 Section 5.16. 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

capacity as Indenture Trustee, to credit bid) at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate on behalf of the Noteholders.

 28

which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held

 (f) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Indenture Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01 and to the provisions of the TIA.

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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (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

 32

for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the recordability, sufficiency, perfection and priority of any mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority or for or with
respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Noteholders under this Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the

except as otherwise agreed with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments that are obligations of the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, and income or other gain actually received by the Indenture Trustee
on investments, which are obligations of others. 
  
 Section 6.07. Eligibility, Disqualification. Irrespective of whether this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, this Indenture shall always have an indenture trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and

such conflicting interest in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder; or 
  

 34 








 (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.08 hereof or
shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property
or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee to vest in such successor Indenture Trustee any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject
to the other provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, if the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, does not join in such appointment within thirty (30) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, (either by reason of

of a conflicting interest as described in clause (i) above, unless the Indenture Trustee’s duty to resign has been stayed as provided in TIA Section 310(b), any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six
(6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (e) If the Indenture Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any cause, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, by a Trust Order, shall promptly, appoint a successor Indenture Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor.

 Section 6.10.
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Indenture Trustee. Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Trust Request of the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, or the successor Indenture Trustee, such retiring Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and any

consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation
to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture Trustee had authenticated such Notes.

Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, or to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment,
and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.13. All fees and expenses of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be payable by the Issuer. 
  
 Should any written
instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on written request,
be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer. 
  

 36 








 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be
appointed subject to the following terms: 
  
 (a) The Notes shall
be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder,
shall be exercised, solely by the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (b) As
required by TIA Section 310 (a)(3), the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  
 (c) The Indenture Trustee at
any time may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 6.13. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this
Section 6.13. 
  
 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable by reason of any act or omission of a co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture
Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder. 
  
 (e) Any Act of
Noteholders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
  
 (f) Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder shall be afforded the same rights, protections and immunities as the Indenture Trustee.

  
 Section 6.14. Authenticating Agents. The Owner
Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall appoint an Authenticating Agent with power to act on the Trust’s behalf, subject to the direction of the Certificateholders, in the authentication and delivery of the Notes
designated for such authentication and, containing provisions therein for such authentication (unless the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, has made other arrangements, satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and such
Authenticating Agent, for notation on the Notes of the authority of an Authenticating Agent appointed after the initial authentication and delivery of such Notes) in connection with transfers and exchanges under Section 2.06 hereof, as fully to
all intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by Section 2.06 hereof to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture (other than in connection with the authentication and
delivery of Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.11 hereof in connection with their initial issuance), the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication
and delivery of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Person that both meets the requirements of Section 6.07 hereof for the Indenture Trustee hereunder and has an office for presentation
of Notes in the 
  

 37

 Section 8.01. Accounts; Investment; Collection of Moneys. (a) The Issuer hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to establish, on or before the Closing Date, an Eligible Account that shall be the
“Payment Account” for the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly deposit in the Payment Account: 
  
 (i) the Servicer Remittance Amount for each Group received by it from the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement; 
  
 (ii) any other funds
from any deposits to be made by the Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; 
  
 (iii) any amount required to be deposited in the Payment Account pursuant to Section 8.01(c); 
  
 (iv) the Termination Price received by it from the Depositor
on the Clean-up Call Date pursuant to Section 10.01; 
  
 (v) any amounts received from the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement, including the Net Swap Payment and any Swap Termination Payment; and 
  

 41 








 (vi) all other amounts received for deposit in the Payment Account from the Servicer, and
the payment of any Loan Repurchase Price or Substitution Adjustment for a Mortgage Loan received by the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 All amounts that are deposited from time to time in the Payment Account are subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth in
Section 8.01 hereof. All funds withdrawn from the Payment Account pursuant to this Section 8.01 for the purpose of making payments to the Holders of Notes shall be applied in accordance with this Section 8.01 and Section 3.03
hereof. 
  
 Any Net Swap Payment received from the Swap Provider
shall be allocated by the Indenture Trustee into two amounts relating to Group I and Group II, pro rata based on the aggregate scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related group with respect to the related Payment Date. These two
amounts are referred to herein as the “Group I Swap Payment” and the “Group II Swap Payment.” Similarly, any payment to be made to the Swap Provider pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) below shall be allocated
between Group I and Group II pro rata based on the aggregate scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related group with respect to the related Payment Date; provided that, if there are insufficient funds in either group to pay the
Swap Provider pursuant to Section 8.01(b) below, then the remaining amount that would have been distributable on such Payment Date shall be paid from amounts relating to the other group. The amount to be paid or received by the Issuer that
relates to Group I is referred to as the “Group I Swap Payment” and the amount to be paid or received by the Issuer that relates to Group II is referred to as the “Group II Swap Payment.” 
  
 (b) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall make the payment to the
Swap Provider set forth in clause (i)(x) below, but only to the extent that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Payment Account to make such payment after making each of the payments described below to be made on such Payment Date that are
senior to such payment. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Payment Account such amounts on deposit therein relating to the Indenture Trustee Fees and the Indenture Trustee’s expenses and other amounts then due
to it, including any payments with respect to reimbursement or indemnification due to the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 6.16) and shall pay such amounts to itself. On each Payment Date, unless the Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and moneys collected by the Indenture Trustee are being applied in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof, the Interest Remittance Amount on deposit in the Payment Account on any Payment Date or
Redemption Date shall be withdrawn from the Payment Account, in the amounts required (based on the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report prepared by the Indenture Trustee on or before such Payment Date in reliance on the related Servicer
Remittance Report), for application on such Payment Date in respect of payments for the each Class of Notes as follows. Subject to the preceding, on each Payment Date, funds will be applied in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) From Available Funds, to the Swap Provider the sum of
(x) all Net Swap Payments, paid from the Available Funds related to each Group pro rata based on the aggregate scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group and (y) any Swap Termination Payments other than a
Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, paid from the Available Funds related to each group pro rata based on the aggregate 
  

 42 








 scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Group. To the extent that any swap
payments owed to the Swap Provider remain unpaid, amounts owed under (x) or (y) above will be paid from the other group’s Available Funds (such payment to be made on the Payment Date, as set forth above); 
  
 (ii) Concurrently, 
  
 (x) from the Distributable Interest Amount related to the Group I Mortgage
Loans, to the Class A-1 Notes, their Accrued Note Interest, and any unpaid Accrued Note Interest from prior Payment Dates; and 
  
 (y) from the Distributable Interest Amount related to the Group II Mortgage Loans, concurrently to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C
and Class A-2D Notes, their Accrued Note Interest and any unpaid Accrued Note Interest from prior Payment Dates allocated based on their entitlement to those amounts, 
  
 provided, that if the Distributable Interest Amount for either Group of Mortgage Loans is insufficient to make the related
payments set forth in clause (a) or (b) above, as applicable, any Distributable Interest Amount relating to the other Group of Mortgage Loans remaining after making the related payments set forth in clause (a) or (b) above, as
applicable, will be available to cover that shortfall; and 
  
 (iii) from any remaining Distributable Interest Amount, to the Class M Notes, sequentially, in ascending numerical order, their Accrued Note Interest. 
  
 (c) The Principal Distribution Amount will be paid from the amount on deposit in the Payment Account (after making the
payments set forth in paragraph (b) above) on each Payment Date as follows: 
  
 A. On each Payment Date (a) prior to the Stepdown Date or (b) with respect to which a Trigger Event is in effect, the Principal Distribution Amount will be applied in the following order of priority:

  
 (i) Concurrently, 
  
 (a) to the Class A-1 Notes, the Group I Principal
Distribution Amount, until its Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero; 
  
 (b) to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C and Class A-2D Notes, sequentially, in that order, the Group II Principal Distribution Amount, until their respective Class Note Balances have been
reduced to zero; 
  
 provided, that if after making distributions
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above on any Payment Date (without giving effect to this proviso) the Class Note Balance of any class of Class A Notes is reduced to zero (considering the Class A-2 Notes as one class for the
purposes of this proviso only), then the remaining amount of principal that would have been distributable on such Payment Date and the amount of principal distributable on all subsequent Payment Dates 
  

 43 








 pursuant to this subsection (i) to the class of Class A Notes that have been repaid on that Payment Date or a
prior Payment Date, will be required to be distributed to the other Class A Notes remaining outstanding (in accordance with the paragraphs (a) or (b) above, as applicable), until their respective Class Note Balances have been reduced
to zero; and 
  
 (ii) to the Class M Notes,
sequentially, in ascending numerical order, until their respective Class Note Balances have been reduced to zero. 
  
 B. On each Payment Date (a) on or after the Stepdown Date and (b) with respect to which a Trigger Event is not in effect, the Principal
Distribution Amount will be applied in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) Concurrently, 
  
 (a) to the Class A-1 Notes, the lesser of the Group I Principal Distribution Amount and the portion of the Class A Principal Distribution Amount determined in accordance with the Class A Principal Allocation Percentage for
the Class A-1 Notes, until its Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (b) to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C and Class A-2D Notes, sequentially, in that order, the lesser of the
Group II Principal Distribution Amount and the portion of the Class A Principal Distribution Amount determined in accordance with the Class A Principal Allocation Percentage for the Class A-2 Notes, until their respective Class Note
Balances have been reduced to zero; 
  
 provided,
that if after making distributions pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above on any Payment Date (without giving effect to this proviso) the Class Note Balance of any class of Class A Notes is reduced to zero (considering the
Class A-2 Notes as one class for the purposes of this proviso only), then the remaining amount of principal that would have been distributable on such Payment Date and the amount of principal distributable on all subsequent Payment Dates
pursuant to this subsection (i) to the class of Class A Notes that have been repaid on that Payment Date or a prior Payment Date, will be required to be distributed to the other Class A Notes remaining outstanding (in accordance with
the paragraphs (a) or (b) above, as applicable), until their respective Class Note Balances have been reduced to zero; 
  
 (ii) to the Class M-1 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-1 Principal Distribution Amount,
until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (iii) to the Class M-2 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-2 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (iv) to the Class M-3 Notes, the lesser of the remaining
Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-3 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  

 44 








 (v) to the Class M-4 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and
the Class M-4 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (vi) to the Class M-5 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-5 Principal Distribution Amount,
until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (vii) to the Class M-6 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-6 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (viii) to the Class M-7 Notes, the lesser of the remaining
Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-7 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, 
  
 (ix) to the Class M-8 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-8 Principal Distribution Amount,
until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero, and 
  
 (x) to the Class M-9 Notes, the lesser of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount and the Class M-9 Principal Distribution Amount, until their Class Note Balance has been reduced to zero. 
  
 (d) For any Payment Date, any Net Monthly Excess Cashflow shall be paid as
follows: 
  
 (i) to the Class M Notes,
sequentially and in ascending numerical order, their Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, 
  
 (ii) concurrently, any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount to each class of Class A Notes, pro rata by the respective Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amount due to such classes of Notes, 
  
 (iii) sequentially, to the Class M Notes in ascending numerical order, any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount for such classes, 
  
 (iv) to the Class M Notes, sequentially in ascending numerical order, any Deferred Interest in respect of any Principal Deficiency Amount
allocated to such classes, thus, for instance, the Principal Deficiency Amount for any Payment Date will first be allocated to the Class M-9 Notes and, to the extent the Principal Deficiency Amount for such Payment Date exceeds the aggregate Class
Note Balance of the Class M-9 Notes, such excess Principal Deficiency Amount shall be allocated to the Class M-8 Notes, and so on. 
  
 (v) to pay to the indenture trustee and the owner trustee, any amounts due to them, in the case of the indenture trustee to the extent not
previously paid or reimbursed under this Section 8.01 by reason of Section 6.16 hereof and in the case of the owner trustee to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed under this Section 8.01 pursuant to Article IX of the Trust
Agreement, 
  

 45 








 (x) to pay any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider, 
  
 (xi) if applicable, for application to the purchase of a
replacement Swap Agreement, and 
  
 (xii) to the
trust certificates, any remaining amounts. 
  
 (e) The aggregate,
cumulative amount of principal payments made to the holders of any Class of Notes shall not exceed the Original Note Principal Balance of the related Class. 
  
 (f) [Reserved. ] 
  
 (g) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, amounts held in the Accounts, other than the Payment Account, shall
at the written direction of the Servicer be invested in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall mature no later than the Business Day preceding the immediately following Payment Date; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee
shall have no obligation to invest funds deposited into the Accounts later than 12:15 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the day of receipt. Absent written direction, all such amounts shall be held uninvested. Amounts in the Payment Account may be invested in
Permitted Investments at the direction of the Indenture Trustee or remain uninvested. 
  
 All income or other gains, if any, from investment of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer, and in the Payment Account for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee,
respectively and on or after each Payment Date, any such amounts may be released from such Accounts and paid to the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, as part of its compensation hereunder. Any loss resulting from such investment of
moneys deposited in the Collection Account or the Payment Account, respectively, shall be reimbursed immediately as incurred to the related Account by the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, respectively. Subject to Section 6.01 hereof and the
preceding sentence, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Accounts. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account (other than the Payment Account) held by the
Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon). 
  
 In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act of 2001, the
Indenture Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the other party to this Indenture including, but not limited to, such party’s name, address, and other identifying information. 
  
 (h) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may
demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to 
  

 46 








 or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and
property received by it as part of the Trust Estate and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture. 
  
 If the Indenture Trustee shall not have received the Servicer Remittance Amount by close of business on any related Servicer Remittance Date, the
Indenture Trustee shall, unless the Servicer shall have made provisions satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee for delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an amount equal to such Servicer Remittance Amount, deliver a notice to the Servicer of the
Servicer’s failure to remit such Servicer Remittance Amount and that such failure, if not remedied by the close of business on the Business Day after the date upon which such notice is delivered to the Servicer, shall constitute a Servicer
Event of Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall subsequently receive any such Servicer Remittance Amount by the close of business on such Business Day (along with interest at the Prime Rate as set forth in the
Wall Street Journal, accruing from the Servicer Remittance Date to the date such Servicer Remittance Amount was actually received, and payable to the Indenture Trustee) such Servicer Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer, or its designee or assignee, any Servicer Remittance Amount received with respect to a Mortgage Loan after the related Servicer Remittance Date to the
extent that the Servicer previously made payment or provision for payment with respect to such Servicer Remittance Amount in accordance with this Section 8.01, and any such Servicer Remittance Amount shall not be deemed part of the Trust
Estate. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if, following delivery by the Indenture Trustee of the notice described above, the Servicer shall fail to remit the Servicer Remittance Amount on any Servicer Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall deliver a second notice to the Servicer and the Issuer by the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Payment Date indicating that a Servicer Event of Default occurred and is continuing under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. Thereupon, the Indenture Trustee shall take such actions as are required of the Indenture Trustee under Article VII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, if a default occurs in any other performance required under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the request of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in
Article V hereof. 
  
 (i) In the event that the Swap Provider
elects to post collateral as provided in the Swap Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain a non-interest bearing separate trust account which shall be an Eligible Account with respect to the Swap Agreement (the “Swap
Collateral Account”) for the benefit of the Swap Provider and the Noteholders, as their interests may appear, into which such collateral shall be deposited. The Indenture Trustee may or shall (as indicated) make withdrawals from the Swap
Collateral Account for the purposes of (i) entering into a substitute swap agreement, (ii) funding the amount of any payment due to be made by the Swap Provider under the related Swap Agreement following the failure by the Swap Provider to
make that payment or (iii) as required pursuant to the Swap Agreement or this 
  

 47 








 Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Swap Collateral Account and transfer the collateral
(i) as required of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Swap Agreement or (ii) if the circumstances which required the posting of collateral no longer exist; and the Indenture Trustee is permitted to liquidate any investments held in the
Swap Collateral Account for any such purpose. In the event that additional collateral is required to be posted by the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly make a demand on the Swap Provider to post such
additional collateral. To the extent cash makes up all or any portion of the collateral in the Swap Collateral Account, such cash shall be invested in Permitted Investments as directed in writing by the Swap Provider. Absent timely instructions in
writing, the Trustee shall hold such funds uninvested. In connection with the maintenance and administration of the Swap Collateral Account, the Indenture Trustee may request and rely on written instructions from the Servicer, which the Servicer
hereby agrees to provide, with respect to the maintenance and administration of such account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any right to apply any amounts or assets in any Swap Collateral Account except in
accordance with the enforcement and realization of its security interest pursuant to the Swap Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the Swap Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.02. Allocation of Realized Losses. 
  
 (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Indenture Trustee on each Payment Date as follows: first, pursuant to the
provisions hereof set forth in Section 8.01(c), to amounts of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to prepayment penalties; and third, to the Overcollateralization Amount. 
  
 (b) Subsequent Recoveries will count as additional Liquidation Proceeds and
be distributed on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 8.01(c) hereof. 
  
 Section 8.03. [Reserved]. 
  
 Section 8.04. General Provisions Regarding the Payment Account and Mortgage Loans. (a) The Payment Account shall relate solely to the Notes, Permitted Investments and other property securing the Notes and the obligations of
the Swap Agreement. Funds and other property in the Payment Account shall not be commingled with any other moneys or property of the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may hold any funds or other
property received or held by it as part of a Payment Account in collective accounts maintained by it in the normal course of its business and containing funds or property held by it for other Persons (which may include the Issuer or an Affiliate);
provided, that such accounts are under the sole control of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee maintains adequate records indicating the ownership of all such funds or property and the portions thereof held for credit to the Payment
Account. 
  
 (b) If any amounts are needed for payment from the
Payment Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such payment, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash, to the extent available, a sufficient amount of the investments in the
Payment Account. 
  

 48 








 (c) The Indenture Trustee shall, at all times while any Notes are Outstanding, maintain in its
possession, or in the possession of an agent whose actions with respect to such items are under the sole control of the Indenture Trustee, all certificates or other instruments, if any, evidencing any investment of funds in the Payment Account. The
Indenture Trustee shall relinquish possession of such items, or direct its agent to do so, only for purposes of collecting the final payment receivable on such investment or certificate or, in connection with the sale of any investment held in the
Payment Account, against delivery of the amount receivable in connection with any sale. 
  
 (d) The Servicer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to invest any part of the Trust Estate in Permitted Investments that constitute uncertificated securities (as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, as enacted in the relevant jurisdiction) unless it has delivered an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee setting forth, with respect to each
type of security for which authority to invest is being sought, the procedures that must be followed to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate. 
  
 (e) With respect to any portion of the Trust Estate invested in Permitted
Investments, the Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that: 
  
 (i) any Permitted Investment that is held in a deposit account shall be held solely in an Eligible Account; and each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the sole and exclusive dominion, custody and control of
the Indenture Trustee; and, without limitation on the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto; 
  
 (ii) any Permitted Investment that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph
(a) and/or (b) of the definition of “Delivery,” as applicable, and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)
of the Uniform Commercial Code) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee; and 
  
 (iii) any Permitted Investment that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (c) of the
definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Permitted Investment as described in such paragraph. 
  
 Section 8.05. Releases of Deleted Mortgage Loans. Upon notice or
discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that any of the representations or warranties of the Sponsor set forth in Section 4.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement was materially incorrect or otherwise misleading with respect
to any Mortgage Loan as of the time made, the Indenture Trustee shall direct the Sponsor to either cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon any purchase of or
substitution for a Deleted Mortgage Loan by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.06 or 
  

 49 








 Section 4.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver the Indenture Trustee’s
Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such instruments of transfer as are necessary to convey title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor from the lien of
this Indenture. Nothing in this Section 8.05 should be construed to obligate the Indenture Trustee to actively monitor the correctness or accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Sponsor. 
  
 Section 8.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders; Access to
Certain Information. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee, shall provide the written reports required by the first paragraph of Section 2.08(d) to Noteholders of record as of the related Record Date (including the Clearing Agency, if
any). The Indenture Trustee will make available the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) to any interested person via the Indenture
Trustee’s internet website. The Indenture Trustee’s internet website shall initially be located at https://www.tss.db.com/invr and assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Indenture Trustee’s investor
relations desk at 800.735.7777. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to alter the manner in which it provides its Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Reports to Noteholders upon notice to Noteholders in the manner in which such Indenture
Trustee’s Remittance Reports are then being provided. 
  
 The
Indenture Trustee shall make available at its Corporate Trust Office, during normal business hours, for review by any Noteholder or designees of the Issuer, originals or copies of the following items: (a) the Indenture and any amendments
thereto, (b) all Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Reports and other reports delivered since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.08(d) hereof, (c) any Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Indenture Trustee since the
Closing Date as described in the Indenture and (d) any Accountants’ reports delivered to the Indenture Trustee since the Closing Date as required under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be
available from the Indenture Trustee upon request; however, the Indenture Trustee will be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such copies and shall not be required to provide such
copies without reasonable assurances that such sum will be paid. 
  
 Section 8.07. Release of Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and no amounts are owing to the Swap Provider, as confirmed to the Indenture Trustee in writing, release all of
the Trust Estate to the Issuer (other than any cash held for the payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 or 4.02 hereof and amounts due to the Indenture Trustee hereunder). 
  
 Section 8.08. Amendment to Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may, without the consent of any
Holder or the Swap Provider, enter into or consent to any amendment or supplement to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the purpose of increasing the obligations or duties of any party other than the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Provider or the
Holders of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall not enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment unless the Indenture Trustee receives (i) an Opinion of Counsel that the position of the Holders would not be materially adversely
affected or written confirmation of satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition has been delivered to it and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters that such amendment or supplement will not 
  

 50 








 prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and will not cause the
Issuer to be subject to federal income tax. The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion decline to enter into any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities would be adversely affected. Prior to entering into any supplement
or amendment an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (upon which it may conclusively rely) to the effect that such amendment or supplement is permitted and authorized by this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

  
 Section 8.09. Delivery of the Mortgage Files Pursuant
to Sale and Servicing Agreement. As is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer (if directed in writing by the Servicer) the Indenture Trustee’s Mortgage Files
for such Mortgage Loan upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on or prior to the date such release is to be made of: 
  
 (a) such Officer’s Certificates, if any, as are required by the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and 
  
 (b) a Request for Release, executed by the Servicer, providing that the
Servicer (if directed in writing by the Servicer) will hold or retain the Indenture Trustee’s Mortgage Files in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes. 
  
 Section 8.10. Servicer as Agent. In order to facilitate the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer of such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans has been appointed by the Issuer to retain, in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Indenture, all
Servicer Remittance Amounts on such Mortgage Loans prior to their deposit into the Payment Account on or prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date. 
  
 Section 8.11. Termination of Servicer. In the event of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default specified in Section 7.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may, and, upon the request of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Class Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, shall (or as otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement), terminate the Servicer as provided in Section 7.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee terminates the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee as successor servicer shall, pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, assume the duties of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor servicer acceptable to the Rating Agencies and meeting the requirements set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall provide
notice to the Swap Provider of such appointment. 
  
 Section 8.12. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of any action to be taken pursuant to Sections 8.08 and 8.09 hereof (other than in connection
with releases of Mortgage Loans that were subject to a prepayment in full), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with. Counsel
rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action. 
  

 51 








 Section 8.13. Appointment of Collateral Agents. The Indenture Trustee may, at no additional
cost to the Issuer or to the Indenture Trustee, appoint one or more Collateral Agents to hold all or a portion of the Indenture Trustee Mortgage Files, as Agent for the Indenture Trustee. Such Collateral Agent shall meet the requirements of Article
IX of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Matters concerning the Collateral Agents shall be governed by said Article IX. 
  
 ARTICLE IX

to time, may enter into one or more indenture supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 
  
 (a) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto

qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted, and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA; 
  
 provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
the Holders of the Notes or the Certificateholders or the Swap Provider (unless the consent of the Swap Provider is obtained) and will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for 
  

 52 








 United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuer to be subject to federal income tax; provided, that the
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Notes and will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuer to
be subject to federal income tax if the Person requesting the amendment obtains either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to, but not at the expense of, the Indenture Trustee, to such effect or (ii) written confirmation of the
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. 
  
 Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. With the consent of Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Class Note Balance of all Outstanding Notes of the Classes affected thereby by
Act of said Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and the consent of the Swap Provider (if the Swap Agreement is still outstanding, unless an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that the Swap
Agreement is not materially affected by such supplemental indenture), the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby: 
  
 (a) change any Payment
Date or the Final Stated Maturity Date of the Notes or, with respect to the Notes, reduce the Class Note Balance thereof or the Interest Rate thereon, change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Sponsor, change
payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or any interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest due on any Note on or after the Final Stated
Maturity Date thereof or for the enforcement of the payment of the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of any Note on or after the Final Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

  
 (b) reduce the percentage of the Class Note Balance of the
Outstanding Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with provisions of this Indenture or Defaults hereunder and their
consequences provided for in this Indenture; 
  
 (c) modify any of
the provisions of this Section 9.02 or Sections 5.13 or 5.17(b) hereof, except to increase any percentage specified therein or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the

 (d) modify
or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term “Outstanding”; 
  
 (e) permit the creation of any lien other than the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
Holder of any Note of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture; or 
  

 53 








 (f) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the
Interest Payment Amount or Principal Distribution Amount for any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such amounts) or to affect rights of the Holders of the Notes to the benefits of any provisions for the
redemption of Notes contained herein. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee
may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
  
 Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes and the Swap Provider
to which such supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
  
 Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
such supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders in any material respect; (ii) an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture will
not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuer to be subject to federal income tax; or (iii) written confirmation of satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer,
shall cause executed copies of any supplemental indentures to be delivered to the Rating Agencies. 
  
 Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes to which such supplemental indenture relates that have theretofore been or thereafter are
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
  
 Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be
qualified under the TIA. 
  

 54 








 Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the
Certificateholders, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Servicer and executed by the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, on behalf of the Issuer, and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
  
 Section 9.07.
Amendments to Governing Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon a Trust Request, consent to any proposed amendment to the Trust’s governing documents, or an amendment to or waiver of any provision of any other document relating to
the Trust’s governing documents, such consent to be given without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Holders of any Notes upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of: 
  
 (a) an Officer’s Certificate, to which such proposed amendment or waiver shall be attached, stating that such attached
copy is a true copy of the proposed amendment or waiver and that all conditions precedent to such consent specified in this Section 9.07 have been satisfied; and 
  
 (b) written confirmation of the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such proposed amendment.

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may
decline to consent to a proposed waiver or amendment that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall be construed to require that any Person obtain the consent of the Indenture Trustee to any amendment or waiver or
any provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the giving of such waiver without obtaining the consent of the Indenture Trustee is not prohibited by this Indenture or by the terms of the document that is the subject of the
proposed amendment or waiver.

 Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered
by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or
give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
  
 Any certificate or opinion of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates
to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in 
  

 58 








 the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the
matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s
opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel. 
  
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
  
 Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall
deliver any document as a condition of the reporting of such application, or as evidence of the Trust’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such
certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 6.01(b)(ii)
hereof. 
  
 Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the
absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such
condition is a condition precedent to the Trust’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and
continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.01 (d) hereof. 
  
 Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided
by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.03. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or
writing acknowledged to him the execution 
  

 59 








 thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 
  
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
  

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon; whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Notes. 
  
 Section 11.04.

 Section 11.05. Notices and Reports to Noteholders; Waiver of Notices. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event or
the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whole such report is
required to be mailed, at the address of such Noteholder as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case
where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice or report with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice or report that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient
giving of such notice. 
  
 Section 11.06. Rules by
Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may (but is not obligated to) make reasonable rules for any meeting of Noteholders. 
  

 61 








 Section 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control. 
  
 Section 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table
of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
  
 Section 11.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  
 Section 11.10. Separability. In case any provision in this
Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.14 hereof and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date of any Payment Date, Redemption Date or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date,
Redemption Date or other date for the payment of principal of or interest on any Note and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day.

  
 Section 11.13. Governing Law. IN VIEW OF THE FACT
THAT NOTEHOLDERS ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN MANY STATES AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND THE DESIRE TO ESTABLISH WITH CERTAINTY THAT THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF A STATE HAVING A
WELL-DEVELOPED BODY OF COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL LAW RELEVANT TO TRANSACTIONS OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
  
 Section 11.14. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 Section 11.15. Recording of Indenture. This Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public
recording offices, such recording to be effected by the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, and at its expense in compliance with any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Sections 2.11 (c) or 3.06 hereof. 
  

 62 








 Section 11.16. Issuer Obligation. (a) No recourse, may be taken, directly or indirectly,
with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee
(except as expressly stated herein regarding performance of its own obligations) Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any manner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer,
director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all
purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 
  
 (b) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
(i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the
Trust Agreement, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by U.S. Bank Trust National Association but
is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on U.S. Bank Trust National Association, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either
expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (iv) under no circumstances shall U.S. Bank Trust National
Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or
any other related documents. 
  
 Section 11.17. No
Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Beneficial Owner, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in
any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents. In addition, the Indenture Trustee will, if directed in writing by the Majority Noteholders and indemnity is provided as set forth herein, on behalf of the Holders
of the Notes, (a) file a written objection to any motion or the Sponsor with the Depositor or other proceeding seeking the substantive consolidation of the Sponsor with the Issuer, (b) file an appropriate memorandum of points and
authorities or other brief in support of such objection, or 
  

 63 








 (c) endeavor to establish at the hearing on such objection that the substantive consolidation of such entities would be
materially prejudicial to the Noteholders. 
  
 This
Section 11.17 will survive for one year and one day following the termination of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee,
during the Trust’s normal business hours, to examine all of books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent Accountants selected by the
Indenture Trustee, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, employees and Independent Accountants (and by this provision the Issuer hereby authorizes its Accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs,
finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right under this Section 11.18 shall be borne by the Issuer. 
  
 Section 11.19. Usury. The amount of interest payable or paid on
any Note under the terms of this Indenture shall be limited to an amount that shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the United States or the State of New York (whichever shall permit the higher
rate), that could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any Note exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Issuer stipulates that such excess amount will be
deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of both the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holder of such Note, and the Issuer, and the Holder receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or
upon notice thereof from the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Note, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums
paid or agreed to be paid to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Notes for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
term of such Notes. 
  
 Section 11.20. Rights of Swap
Provider. The Swap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right, upon designation of an “Early Termination Date” (as defined in the Swap
Agreement), to enforce its rights under this Indenture, which rights include but are not limited to the obligation of the Indenture Trustee (A) to deposit any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(v) and any Swap
Termination Payment required pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(v) into the Payment Account and (B) to pay any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i)
to the Swap Counterparty. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Swap Counterparty shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity, subject to the provisions hereof.
