statutory trust, in each case validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
state of organization, and each of the Seller and the Origination Trust has all power and
authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. Each of the Seller and

     (iii) No Consent Required. No approval, authorization or other action by, or filing
with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Seller or the Origination Trust of any Transaction Document other than
UCC filings and other than approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings which have previously been made.




     (iv) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller or the Origination
Trust is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person
enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws of general application relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles
of equity.




     (v) Ownership and Transfer of Transaction SUBI. Immediately preceding its sale of the
Transaction SUBI to the Buyer, the Seller was the owner of the Transaction SUBI, free and

SUBI, to all of the rights and benefits of a holder of a SUBI under the Origination Trust
Documents.




     (vi) Applicable Law. Each of the Seller and the Origination Trust is in compliance
with all Applicable Laws, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse
effect.




     (vii) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the

effect.

of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Seller is not subject to regulation
as a “holding company”, an “affiliate” of a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of
a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended.




     (ix) Status of Origination Trust. The Origination Trust is not an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Origination Trust

or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.



     The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3(a) shall speak only
as of the date hereof and shall survive the sale of the Transaction SUBI hereunder.

possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of

ARTICLE III




MISCELLANEOUS




     SECTION 3.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.



     (a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated
and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales and contributions rather than
pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all
purposes. The sale and contribution of the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate
shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale and
contribution of assets by the Seller. The sales and contributions by the Seller of the Transaction
SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the beneficial interest in the Units allocated
thereto hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or
implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of
recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the
collectibility of underlying indebtedness, and therefore are intended to be consistent with
warranties ordinarily given by a seller of goods under Article 2 of the UCC.



     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction
SUBI Certificate are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held
or deemed to create a security interest in the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI
Certificate, then it is intended that:




     (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;




     (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant
by the Seller to the Buyer of a security interest in all of its right (including the power
to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate, to secure the performance
of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;



SUBI Sale Agreement





6









 









     (iii) The possession by the Buyer or its agent of the Transaction SUBI Certificate
shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a
person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest
pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and




     (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Buyer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.



     SECTION 3.2 Specific Performance. Either party may enforce specific performance of
this Agreement.



     SECTION 3.3 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first class United States
mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by telecopier, and addressed in
each case as set forth in Schedule II to the Indenture or at such other address as shall be
designated by any of the foregoing in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall
occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient
entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder.



     SECTION 3.4 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).



     SECTION 3.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



     SECTION 3.6 Amendment.



     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other
Person; provided that (i) any amendment that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Noteholders shall require the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, and (ii)
any amendment that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Persons whose
interests are materially and adversely affected. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially
and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied
with respect to such amendment. The consent of the



SUBI Sale Agreement





7









 







Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection from such Person within 10 Business Days
after a written request for such consent shall have been given.




     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note, or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the
consent of the Holder of such Note, or (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any
matter without the consent of the Holders of at least the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes which were required to consent to such matter before
giving effect to such amendment.



     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other
Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or
any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a condition to
any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.



     (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such
Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such
Person consents to the substance thereof.



     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Buyer shall provide each
Rating Agency with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later than 10 Business
Days after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Buyer shall furnish a copy of such
amendment to each Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.



     (f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that
all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied.



     SECTION 3.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, the Servicer, the
Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the
extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Buyer or the
Seller in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No
waiver or approval by either party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in
such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under
this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted
hereunder.

     SECTION 3.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. There are no
unwritten agreements among the parties.



     SECTION 3.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid,
then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.



     SECTION 3.10 Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Buyer and the Seller and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. The Seller may not assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the Buyer, except as otherwise herein specifically provided. This
Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties
hereto shall agree.



     SECTION 3.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, the Seller expressly
acknowledges and consents to the sale of the Transaction SUBI and the assignment of all rights and
obligations of the Seller related thereto by the Buyer to the Issuer pursuant to the SUBI Transfer
Agreement and the mortgage, pledge, assignment and grant of a security interest in the Transaction
SUBI by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the
Noteholders. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes

debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial
part of its property or to consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession
by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy
Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of any party hereto or any other
creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) none of the parties hereto shall commence or
join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under
any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect

to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all obligations under
each Financing, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any
Bankruptcy Remote Party an action in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings or similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State of
the United States.




     SECTION 3.14 Each SUBI Separate; Assignees of SUBI. Each party hereto acknowledges
and agrees (and each holder or pledgee of the Transaction SUBI, by virtue of its acceptance of such
Transaction SUBI or pledge thereof, acknowledges and agrees) that (a) the Transaction SUBI is a
separate series of the Origination Trust as provided in Section 3806(b)(2) of Chapter 38 of Title

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS




     In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the SUBI Sale
Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Buyer as follows on the
Closing Date:


1. The SUBI Sale Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
applicable UCC) in the Transaction SUBI Certificate in favor of the Buyer, which security interest
is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Seller.



2. The Transaction SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated
security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.



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



4. The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Transaction SUBI
Certificate hereunder to the Buyer required by the terms of the Transaction SUBI Certificate to the
extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.



5. The Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Transaction SUBI
Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or
uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Buyer of its interest and rights in the Transaction
SUBI Certificate hereunder.



6. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the SUBI
Sale Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in
the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Transaction
SUBI Certificate from the Seller to the Buyer and the security interest in the Transaction SUBI
Certificate granted to the Buyer hereunder.



7. To the extent that the Transaction SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible
chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have
been delivered to the Buyer.



8. Other than the transfer of the Transaction SUBI Certificate from the Seller to the Buyer under
the SUBI Sale Agreement and from the Buyer to the Issuer under the SUBI Transfer Agreement and the
security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Seller has not
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed

the Transaction SUBI Certificate. The Seller has not authorized the filing of, nor is aware of,
any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the

granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents or that has been terminated.



9. No instrument or tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Transaction SUBI
Certificate has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.
