 Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Insurer”) has issued and delivered a certificate guaranty insurance policy for the Notes, dated the
Closing Date (the “Policy”), pursuant to which the Insurer guarantees the Insured Amounts and Preference Amount (as defined in the Policy). 
  
 As an inducement to the Insurer to issue and deliver the Policy, the Issuer and the Insurer have executed and delivered the Insurance and Indemnity
Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004 (as amended from time to time, the “Insurance Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuer, GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., GreenPoint Mortgage Securities LLC and the Indenture Trustee.

  
 As an additional inducement to the Insurer to issue the
Policy, and as security for the performance by the Issuer of the Insurer Issuer Secured Obligations and as security for the performance by the Issuer of the Indenture Trustee Issuer Secured Obligations, the Issuer has agreed to grant and assign the
Collateral (as defined below) to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, as their respective interests may appear. 
  








 GRANTING CLAUSE 
  

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee at the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest
in and to: (i) a pool (the “Pool”) of certain adjustable rate home equity revolving credit line loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) (including any Additional Balances related thereto) in each case as set forth in Exhibit A
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date (except Interest Collections due or accrued on or before the Cut-Off Date); (iii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that has been
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) rights of the Sponsor under hazard insurance policies covering the Mortgaged Properties; (v) amounts on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account;
(vi) all rights under the Assignment Agreement assigned to the Issuer (including all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained therein) and all rights of the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (vii) the Policy (solely for
the benefit of the Noteholders); and (viii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing (the items set forth in (i) through (viii) above, the “Collateral”). 
  
 The foregoing Grant is made in trust to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit first, of the Indenture Trustee and
the Holders of the Notes, and second, for the benefit of the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and agrees to perform its
duties required in this Indenture to the best of its ability to the end that the interests of such parties, recognizing the priorities of their respective interests may be adequately and effectively protected. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it will hold the Policy in trust and
that it will hold any proceeds of any claim made upon the Policy solely for the use and the benefit of the Noteholders in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Policy. 
  
 Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer assumes or shall assume any obligation under any Credit Line Agreement that

 ARTICLE II 
  
 The Notes 
  
 SECTION 2.1. Form. The Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Notes may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an
appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note. 
  
 Each
Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 2.2. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The
signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be original or facsimile. 
  
 Notes bearing the original or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold
such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in the principal amount of $226,987,000. The Notes outstanding at any
time may not exceed such amounts. 
  
 Each Note shall be dated the
date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears attached to such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate attached to any Notes
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Subject to Section 2.11, the Notes shall be Book Entry Notes. 
  
 SECTION 2.3. 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 shall be “Note
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the
duties of Note Registrar. 
  

 4 







 If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer
will give the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer 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 and the Insurer shall have the right
to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. 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 or transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, and if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer
shall execute and cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount. A Noteholder may also obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount. Such requirements shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the
compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC. 
  
 At the
option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, and if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Such requirements shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC. 
  

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 (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form attached to Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Note Registrar may require. 
  
 No service charge shall be made to a Holder 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 that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.4 or 9.6 not involving any transfer. 
  
 The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Definitive Note
unless the Indenture Trustee has received a representation letter (in form and substance satisfactory to the 

  

 5 







 
Indenture Trustee) from the prospective transferee to the effect that either (a) such transferee is not acquiring such Note for, or on behalf of, such an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or an entity which is deemed to
hold the assets of the foregoing (each, a “Benefit Plan”) and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (b) the acquisition and holding of such Note by the transferee will be covered by a U.S.
Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption. Each Note Owner, by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note, will be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations. 
  
 SECTION 2.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) 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 (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and
the Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Insurer harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that
such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note (such requirement shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-405); provided, however,
that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a replacement Note, direct the
Indenture Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note
pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a

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

discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Note Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Note Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts

paid to the Issuer, with the prior consent of the Insurer, on Issuer Request, and shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Distribution Account; 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 Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or such Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that if such money or any portion thereof had been previously deposited by the Insurer with the Indenture Trustee for the payment of principal or interest on the Notes, to the extent any amounts are owing to the Insurer, such amounts
shall be paid promptly to the Insurer upon receipt of a written request by the Insurer to such effect. 
  
 SECTION 3.4. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State

such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture and the Collateral. 
  
 SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Mortgage Loans. 
  
 (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that
would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of,
or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Basic Documents or such other instrument or agreement.

the Controlling Party in respect of such default. If an Event of Servicing Termination shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. 
  

 13 







 (e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the

 SECTION 5.1. Remedies. If a Rapid Amortization Event as described in Article XII shall have occurred and be continuing, the Noteholders shall be entitled on each Payment Date to an amount equal to the Maximum Principal Payment and
Interest Payment Amount for such Payment Date payable during such Rapid Amortization Period. The rights contained in this Article V are in addition to any rights that the Noteholders possess pursuant to Article XII. 
  
 SECTION 5.2. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  
 (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Rapid
Amortization Event; 
  
 (ii) the Holders of not
less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding with respect to the Notes in respect of such Rapid Amortization Event in its own name as Indenture Trustee
hereunder; 
  
 (iii) such Holder or Holders have
offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

 (v) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and 
  
 (vi) an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no Holders of Notes shall
have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided. 
  
 In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than 

  

 19 







 
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall take direction from the group providing indemnity and representing the greater
percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 5.3. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 5.4. 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, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Insurer, 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, the Insurer and the
Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 SECTION 5.5. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the related Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 5.6. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Rapid Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Rapid Amortization Event or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or by the Noteholders, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 5.7. Control by Insurer and Noteholders. The Insurer (or, if
an Insurer Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that: 
  
 (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 
  

 20 







 (ii) 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 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. 

 
 SECTION 5.8. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by the Insurer, any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred),
in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
  
 SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 SECTION 5.10. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other
relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee or the
Insurer against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. 
  
 SECTION 5.11. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. 
  
 (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee (at the direction of the Insurer) to do so and at the
Servicer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Sponsor and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and 

  

 21 







 
to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement
to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Sponsor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel
or secure performance by the Sponsor or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 (b) If a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, may, and, at the written
direction of the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes) shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Sponsor
or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Sponsor or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended. 
  
 SECTION 5.12. Subrogation. The Indenture Trustee shall receive as
attorney-in-fact of each Noteholder any Insured Amounts or Preference Amounts from the Insurer pursuant to the Policy. Any and all Insured Amounts and Preference Amounts disbursed by the Indenture Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not
be considered payment by the Issuer, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipient of
such payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal
with respect to the Notes which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer. 
  
 SECTION 5.13. Preference Claims. 
  
 (a) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any payment of principal and interest
on a Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer of such
avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in the event that any Noteholder’s payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms
of the Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer at its written request, the requested records it holds in its possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture
Trustee and subsequently recovered from Noteholders and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the related Noteholder to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Noteholders and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless such Noteholder has returned principal or
interest paid on the Notes 

  

 22 







 
to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer shall make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for payment to such Noteholder in
accordance with the terms of the Policy). 
  
 (b) The Indenture
Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Notes. Each Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that so long as an Insurer Default
shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of
any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement.
In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.12, the Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of
the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in
connection with any such Preference Claim. All actions taken under this Section 5.13(b) by the Indenture Trustee shall be taken in accordance with the terms of the Policy. 
  
 SECTION 5.14. Noteholder Rights. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of its Note agrees that, so long as no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer shall be treated by the Issuer, the Sellers, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as if the Insurer were the Holder of the Note for the purpose of the giving of
any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise given to the Noteholder hereunder without any further consent of the Noteholder. So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Noteholders may only exercise such rights with the consent of the Insurer. 
  
 SECTION 5.15. Insurer’s Rights Regarding Actions, Proceedings or Investigations. Until all Notes have been paid in full, all amounts owed to the Insurer have been paid in full, the Insurance Agreement has
terminated and the Policy has been returned to the Insurer for cancellation, the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) Unless an Insurer Default resulting from the failure of the Insurer to make payments under the Policy has occurred or is continuing, notwithstanding
anything contained herein or in the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Insurer shall have the right to participate in, to direct the enforcement or defense of, and, at the Insurer’s sole option, to institute or assume the defense of,
any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof. Following notice to the Indenture Trustee and subject to the preceding sentence, the Insurer shall have exclusive right to
determine, in its sole discretion, the actions 

  

 23 







 
necessary to preserve and protect the Issuer, the Collateral, and the Trust Property. All costs and expenses of the Insurer in connection with such action,
proceeding or investigation, including (without limitation) any judgment or settlement entered into affecting the Insurer or the Insurer’s interests, shall be included in the Reimbursement Amount. 
  
 (b) In connection with any action, proceeding or investigation that could
adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of
the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with, and to take such action as directed by, the Insurer, including (without limitation) entering into such agreements and
settlements as the Insurer shall direct, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Noteholder. 
  
 (c) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Insurer prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation of which a Responsible
Officer has received notice or has actual knowledge that names the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as a party or that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or
under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Trust or any affiliate thereof. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Basic
Documents to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Insurer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Insurer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation
affecting the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents. 
  
 (e) Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, and the Indenture Trustee agree that the Insurer shall have such rights as set forth in this Section,
which are in addition to any rights of the Insurer pursuant to the other provisions of the Basic Documents, that the rights set forth in this Section may be exercised by the Insurer, in its sole discretion, without the need for the consent or
approval of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any of the other Basic Documents, and that nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Insurer to
exercise any of the rights provided for herein.

Servicer, the Insurer or the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount. 
  
 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the

 (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the negligence of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees appointed (i) with due

 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its

Notes or the Controlling Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders of Notes or the Controlling Party shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Section 6.1(e), upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the

Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount thereof; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee
may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the

of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However,
the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12. 
  
 SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes
other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
  
 SECTION 6.5. Notice of Rapid Amortization Events and Events of Servicing Termination. If a Rapid Amortization Period or an Event of Servicing Termination occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee
either has actual knowledge thereof, or has received written notice of the existence thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) promptly mail to the Insurer notice of such event, and (ii) within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs, mail to
each Noteholder notice of such event. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholders if and so long as one of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not withhold any such notice to the Insurer. 
  
 SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. Upon written request, the Indenture Trustee shall on behalf of
the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns required by law. 
  
 SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity. 
  
 (a) Pursuant to Section 8.7 and subject to Section 6.10 herein, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the
Indenture Trustee from time to time compensation as agreed to in writing between the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of
collection, in addition to the 

  

 28 







 
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee’s agents, counsel (including internal counsel), accountants and experts (including internal experts). The Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its
respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Basic Document. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and
the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article VIII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to defend the claim, the Indenture Trustee
may have separate counsel and the Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Anything is this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind, whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action. 
  
 (b) The Issuer’s and
the Servicer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees
that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Collateral only and shall not be recourse to any other assets of the Issuer or any assets of any
Noteholder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Collateral is subject to certain priorities and limitations as specifically provided for in this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer and the Insurer by written notice. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee (approved in writing by the Insurer, so long as such approval is not unreasonably withheld) by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee (who shall deliver a copy to the Servicer and the Insurer) and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, however,
that any such successor Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Servicer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Insurer shall, remove the
Indenture Trustee, if: 
  
 (i) the Indenture
Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11; 
  
 (ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or
state 

  

 29

trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs; 

 
 (iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy
laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days; 
  
 (iv) the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under
any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails
generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; 
  
 (v) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or 
  
 (vi) the Indenture Trustee materially breaches any covenant or obligation under the Basic Documents.

  
 Additionally, the Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee at
the request of the Insurer. 
  
 If the Indenture Trustee resigns
or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee
acceptable to the Insurer. If the Issuer fails to appoint such a successor Indenture Trustee within 30 days, the Insurer may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 45 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
  
 A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, to the Insurer and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee
to the successor Indenture Trustee. 
  
 If a successor Indenture
Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer, or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may, at the expense of


  

 30 







 
the Servicer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. 
  
 If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. 
  
 Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. 
  
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s indemnity obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall pay any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided that such entity meets the requirements of Section 6.11 hereunder and is otherwise acceptable to the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). The Indenture
Trustee shall provide the Insurer and the Servicer with notice of any such transaction. 
  
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but
not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it
is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 6.10.
Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied, shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust, or any 

  

 31

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

  
 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and 
  
 (iii) the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee except that following the occurrence of an Event of Servicing Termination, the Indenture Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 
  
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this
Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

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

all of the Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final
distribution to Noteholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Noteholders and the Optional Redemption Holder (if the Optional Redemption
Holder has exercised its right to transfer the Mortgage Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case) and shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.

 All
notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (i) the
Redemption Date upon which final payment of the Notes will be made; 
  
 (ii) the amount of any such final distribution; 
  
 (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Notes at the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2); and 
  
 (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the
Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be
given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

of redemption as required by Section 10.2, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any
period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

definitions herein relating thereto; 
  
 (ii) a
brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
  
 (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
  
 (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory such condition or covenant has been
complied with. 
  
 SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to
Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more 

  

 50 







 
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
  
 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any certificate, Issuer Order or Issuer Request may be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the Manager.

  
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
  
 Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is
provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of
such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or
to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to conclusively rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document
as provided in Article VI. 
  
 SECTION 11.3. Acts of
Noteholders. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by
agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

 51 







 (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 thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
  
 SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Insurer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, order, instruction, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other
documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with: 
  
 (a) The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be made in writing and either personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or
mailed first-class to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and any notice delivered by facsimile shall be addressed to the Corporate Trust Office, telecopy number (312) 325-8905, or 
  
 (b) The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or overnight courier or mailed first class, and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust
2004-3, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890 0001, Telecopy: (302) 636-4140, Attention: GPHE 2004-3, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture
Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall provide a copy of any notice it receives from the Issuer or any Noteholder to the Owner
Trustee for distribution to the Class B Certificateholders. 
  
 (c) The Insurer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be sufficient for any purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed by first-class mail personally delivered or telecopied to the recipient as follows: 
  

			
	To the Insurer:	 	Ambac Assurance Corporation
	 	 	One State Street Plaza
	 	 	New York, NY 10004
	 	 	Attention: Managing Director
	 	 	Telecopy: (212) 363-1459

  
 Notices required to be
given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or first class or via facsimile to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following
address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10004, Fax No: (212) 533-0355 and (ii) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

 52 







 SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to
Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event (and in all cases, the Insurer shall
receive notice), at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall
conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 
  
 Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
  
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it
shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be
deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
  
 Where this
Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the
Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such
payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the
Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. 
  
 SECTION 11.7. 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. 
  
 The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein. 
  

 53 







 SECTION 11.8. 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. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any document delivered herewith, all persons may disclose to any and all persons,
without limitation of any kind, the federal income tax treatment of the Notes, any fact relevant to understanding the federal tax treatment of the Notes, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such
federal tax treatment. 
  
 SECTION 11.9. Successors and
Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

  
 SECTION 11.10. 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. The Insurer and its successors
and assigns shall be third-party beneficiaries to the provisions of this Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly to enforce such provisions of this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Insurer, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. The Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and powers under this Indenture (in which case the Indenture Trustee may exercise such rights or powers hereunder), but not its duties and
obligations under the Policy upon delivery of a written notice to the Indenture Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be
made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
  
 SECTION 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
  
 SECTION
11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

 
 SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject
to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the 

  

 54 







 
Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Issuer or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under
this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligation. No
recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any Note or other writing delivered in
connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,

Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the Servicer, 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 owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the
benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 11.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the
Sponsor, or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Sponsor, 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. 
  
 SECTION 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or of the
Insurer, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The
Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to
the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its Obligations hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 11.19. Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and

perform in any material respect the covenants or agreements of the Issuer, each Seller, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement or this Indenture, as the case may be,
and which, in the case of clause (ii), continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the
case may be, by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Issuer, the related Seller, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer or Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount;

  
 (b) any representation or warranty made by the Issuer, a
Seller, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, as a result of which the interests of the
Noteholders or the Insurer are materially and adversely affected and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect and continues to affect materially and adversely the interests of the Noteholders or the Insurer for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Issuer, the related Seller, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Issuer, the
related Seller, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Indenture Trustee by either the Insurer or the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that with respect to any
such representation or warranty made with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, a Rapid Amortization Event shall not be deemed to occur if the related Seller has purchased such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans during such period (or within
an additional 60 days with the 

  

 56 







 
consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer) in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; 
  
 (c) the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor or the Issuer or any of their
Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Servicer, the related Seller, the Sponsor or the Trust, as applicable, or of or relating to all or substantially all of such Person’s property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer, the related Seller, the Sponsor or the Trust and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or the Servicer, the
related Seller, the Sponsor or the Trust shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; 
  
 (d) the Issuer becomes subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 
  
 (e) any draw is made under the Policy; 
  
 (f) an Event of Servicing Termination has occurred; and

 In the case of any event described in clauses (a) through (g) above, a Rapid
Amortization Event will be deemed to have occurred only if, after the applicable grace period, if any, described in the Indenture or Sale and Servicing Agreement, any of the Indenture Trustee or Holders holding Notes evidencing more than 50% of the
Outstanding Amount, in each case with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing), by written notice to the
Issuer, the Insurer, the Sponsor, and the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee, if given by the Noteholders or the Insurer) declare that a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred as of the date of such notice. 
  
 Following the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event, if so directed by the
Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Collateral with respect to the Mortgage Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially
reasonable terms. So long as (i) no Event of Servicing Termination has occurred and is continuing and (ii) such Rapid Amortization Event was not caused by the Servicer, the Sponsor or GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., as a Seller, 

  

 57 







 
any such sale, disposal or liquidation will be “servicing retained” by the Servicer. With respect to the Notes, the net proceeds of such sale will
be paid (i) first, to the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Risk Manager and the Owner Trustee, any unpaid fees due and owing, (ii) second, to the Holders of the Notes, insofar as may be necessary to reduce the Note Principal Balance of such class,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, to zero, (iii) third, to reimburse the Insurer to the extent of unreimbursed draws under the Policy and other amounts owing to the Insurer, (iv) fourth, to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee, any unreimbursed expenses due and owing, including, with respect to the Indenture Trustee, all unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such Rapid Amortization Event and sale of the Collateral and (v)
fifth, to the Residual Certificateholders, in the order and priority described in Section 8.7(b)(xv), any remaining amounts. 
  
 In addition to the consequences of a Rapid Amortization Event discussed above, if the Sponsor voluntarily files a bankruptcy petition or goes into
liquidation or any person is appointed a receiver or bankruptcy trustee of the Sponsor, on the day of any such filing or appointment no further Additional Balances will be transferred to the Trust and the Sponsor will promptly give notice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of any such filing or appointment. Within 15 days, the Indenture Trustee notify the Holders of the Notes of the occurrence of such event. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event, the Sponsor shall no longer receive any principal funds upon the transfer
of Additional Balances to the Trust in respect of the Additional Balance Contributed Amount but will be reimbursed to the extent of available funds from distributions on the Class G Certificates. 
  

 58 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed
by their respective officers, hereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

 GREENPOINT HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 2004-3 
  
 CLASS A VARIABLE RATE ASSET BACKED NOTES 
  
 GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust 2004-3, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
[                                    ]
($[                    ]), such amount payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction
the numerator of which is $[                    ] and the denominator of which is
$[                    ] by (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Notes
pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Payment Date in
[            ] (the “Final Scheduled Payment Date”). The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum provided in the Indenture on each Payment Date
on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date). Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent
Payment Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding such Payment Date or, if no interest has yet been paid, from the Closing Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. Such
principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid in the manner specified on the reverse hereof. 
  
 The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be applied first to interest due and payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note. 
  
 The Notes are entitled to the benefits of a certificate guaranty insurance
policy (the “Policy”) issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Insurer”), pursuant to which the Insurer has unconditionally guaranteed payments of the Insured Amounts with respect to the Notes on each Payment
Date and Preference Amounts, all as more fully set forth in the Policy. 
  
 For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, the Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Sponsor and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to treat the Notes as indebtedness of
the Sponsor for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Each Noteholder by acceptance of a Note (and each owner of a beneficial interest in a Note by acceptance of such beneficial interest) agrees to treat the Notes for federal income, state and
local income and franchise and any other income taxes as indebtedness of the Sponsor. 
  
 Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in 

  

 A-1-2 







 
the Issuer or (iii) any owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the Sellers, the Servicer,
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 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.

  
 Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Note. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
  
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A Variable Rate Asset Backed Notes, issued under an Indenture
dated as of June 1, 2004 (such agreement, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), which
term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. 
  
 All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. If any such terms are not defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, then such terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Trust Agreement dated as of June 1, 2004 (such trust agreement, as supplemented or amended is herein called the “Trust
Agreement”), between GreenPoint Mortgage Securities LLC, as sponsor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement), as so
supplemented or amended. 
  
 The Notes are and will be secured by
the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 Principal of the Notes will be payable, pro rata, on each Payment Date in an amount described in the Indenture. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in August 2004. The term “Payment
Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date. 
  
 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which a Rapid Amortization Event as described in Section 5.1 shall have occurred and be continuing, the 

  

 A-1-3 







 
Insurer (so long as there is no continuing Insurer Default) shall have the right among others to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 12.1 of the Indenture and pay such amounts to the Holders of the Notes. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto. 
  
 Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date,
together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer (or upon the request of a Holder holding Notes having denominations aggregating at least $1,000,000 and received by
the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check or money order or otherwise) to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the
close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Note registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Any check or money order shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without
requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of
this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice
mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purposes located in The City of New York. 

 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Note Rate to the extent lawful. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture,
the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates (with the consent of the Insurer under certain circumstances), on any
Payment Date occurring after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance. If the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates does
not exercise such option, then the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the holder of the majority interest in the Class G Certificates (with the consent of the Insurer under
certain circumstances), on any Payment Date occurring after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to 2% of the Original Pool Balance. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to

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

Documents. 
  
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may
