     The Servicer shall establish with the Indenture Trustee and cause to be
maintained each of the Trust Accounts specified in Section 7.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall ensure that each of
the Trust Accounts is established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account
with a Qualified Institution. If any institution with which any of the Trust
Accounts established pursuant to subsection 7.01(a) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the
Servicer, or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case
may be) shall within ten Business Days establish a replacement account at a
Qualified Institution after notice of such event. The Indenture Trustee shall
make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to
Section 3.03 and as provided in Section 3.05 herein from moneys
on deposit in the Note Distribution Account.

     Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Issuer will maintain with the Indenture Trustee an office or agency
where, subject to satisfaction of conditions set forth herein, Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and
demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as
its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written
notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the
location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail
to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture
Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.

     Section 3.03. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust; Paying
Agent.

     The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Paying Agent for the
payment of principal and interest on the Notes. As provided in Section
3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes or
Hedge Agreements that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of
the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts
so withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes or any
Hedge Agreements shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this
Section 3.03. The Issuer shall have for so long as any Notes are listed
on the Irish Stock Exchange, a Paying Agent for the payment of principal and
interest on such Notes in Ireland and where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of such Notes or this Indenture may be served and where such
securities may be

10

 

surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Issuer hereby appoints JP Morgan Bank (Ireland) PLC as Paying Agent for the
payment of principal and interest with respect to only those securities listed
on the Irish Stock Exchange.

     The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the
appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all
of such purposes; provided, that, (A) no Paying Agent shall be appointed in a
jurisdiction that subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax and (B) so
long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such
exchange so require, the Issuer will maintain in Ireland a Paying Agent and an
office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of
such securities and this Indenture may be served and where such Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer shall give
prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the
Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the
location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

     On or before the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date
and the Repurchase Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in
the Note Distribution Account from amounts (except in the case of the
Repurchase Date) on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account an aggregate
sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying
Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in
writing of its action or failure so to act.

     The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture
Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions
of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:

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

     (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer
in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the
Notes or the Hedge Agreements;

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

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

     (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes or the Hedge
Agreements of any applicable

11

 

withholding taxes imposed thereon and with
respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order
direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust
by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such
trust and be paid to the Issuer on an Issuer Order; 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 or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less
than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall
also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other
reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited
to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called
but have not been surrendered for repurchase or whose right to or interest in
moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for
each such Holder).

     Section 3.04. Existence; Separate Legal Existence.

     (a) The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless
it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under
the laws of any other state or of the United States, in which case the Issuer
will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of
such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Hedge Agreements, the
other Transaction Documents, the Indenture Collateral and each other instrument

contracts or does business with vendors or service providers when the
goods and services provided are partially for the benefit of any other
Person, the costs incurred in so doing shall be fairly allocated to or
among such entities for whose benefit the goods and services are
provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs.

be only on an arm’s length basis.

considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all
purposes of this Indenture.

take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, a
first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the
Indenture Collateral. In connection therewith, pursuant to Section 2.06

Indenture shall have terminated in accordance with its terms or until, pursuant
to the terms hereof or of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee is otherwise authorized to release such instrument from the Indenture
Collateral. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, will from time to time
prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other
instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the
purposes hereof;

     (ii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant
made or to be made by this Indenture;

Counterparties in such Indenture Collateral against the claims of all
persons and parties.

Agreement or this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not remove any portion
of the Indenture Collateral that consists of money or is evidenced by an
instrument, certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction in which it was

Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to subsection
3.07(a), if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to subsection
3.07(b)) unless the Indenture Trustee shall have first received an Opinion of

Servicer) and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution

14

 

filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are

each Hedge Counterparty and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in
such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such
Servicer Default. If such Servicer Default arises from the failure of the
Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Loans, the Issuer may remedy such
failure. So long as any such Servicer Default shall be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may exercise its remedies set forth in Section 8.02 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. Unless granted or permitted by the Holders of
the Notes and the Hedge Counterparties to the extent provided above, the Issuer
may not waive any such Servicer Default or terminate the rights and powers of
the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

upon any part of the Indenture Collateral;

impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended,
hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any
Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to
the Notes or Hedge Agreements under this Indenture except as may be
expressly permitted hereby, permit any lien, charge, excise, claim,
security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of
this Indenture or any other
Transaction Document) to be created on or extend to or otherwise
arise upon or burden the Indenture Collateral or any part thereof or any
interest therein or the proceeds thereof or permit the lien of this
Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in
the Indenture Collateral;

or liquidate in whole or in part;

supervision or direction; and

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

     Section 3.12. Recording of Assignments.

     The Issuer shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording all
Assignments of Mortgages within the time period set forth in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

     Section 3.13. Representations and Warranties Concerning the Loans.

     The Issuer has pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties all of its rights under the Sale
Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee has
the benefit of the representations and warranties made by the Originator and
the Trust Depositor in such documents concerning the Loans transferred into the

Agreement, to the same extent as though such representations and warranties
were made directly to the Indenture Trustee.

     Section 3.14. Indenture Trustee’s Review of Loan Files.

17

 

with the provisions of this
Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article III

satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
moneys.

     (b) In order to facilitate the servicing of the Loans, the Indenture
Trustee authorizes the Servicer in the name and on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer, to perform its respective duties and obligations under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee agrees to perform
its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes
Outstanding and after terminating of each Hedge Agreement and payment of all
amounts payable thereunder in connection with such termination, including Hedge
Breakage Costs, release all of the Indenture Collateral to the Issuer (other
than any cash held for the payment of the Notes or the Hedge Agreements
pursuant to Section 3.03 or 4.06), subject, however, to the rights of the
Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07.

     Section 3.16. Amendments to Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Indenture Trustee in holding any documents released to the Servicer pursuant to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement as well as any other items constituting a part

the Servicer. It is intended that, by the Servicer’s execution and delivery of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, as a secured party,
will be
deemed to have possession of such documents, such moneys and such other
items for purposes of Section 9–313 of the UCC of the state in which such
property is held by the Servicer.

     (b) Solely for purposes of perfection under Section 9–313 of the UCC or
other similar applicable law, rule or regulation of the state in which such
property is held by the Indenture Trustee, if the transfer of the Loans and the
other assets in the Indenture Collateral by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer
is deemed to be a loan, the Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges it is acting

provided that each such Hedge Transaction shall:

     (i) be entered into with a Hedge Counterparty and governed by a
Hedge Agreement;

     (ii) have a schedule of periodic payment periods which terminate not
later than the date on which the Outstanding Amount of the Notes is
expected to be reduced to zero based on an assumed constant prepayment
rate of 10% with respect to the Loans;

     (iii) on the Closing Date, have an amortizing notional amount such
that the Aggregate Notional Amount during any current or future
calculation period thereunder shall be not less than the sum of (A) the
product of 100% and the Outstanding Loan
Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period;
and (B) the product of 100% and the Outstanding Loan Balance of the
Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period, in each case
based on an assumed constant prepayment rate of 10% with respect to the
Loans;

     (iv) be maintained so that (A) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all
Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans for any current or future
calculation period will not be greater than the Outstanding Loan Balance
of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the corresponding Due Period by
more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount, (B) the Aggregate
Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest

25

 

rate
cap transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans for any current
or future calculation period will not be greater than the Outstanding
Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted
Excess Amount and (C) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) under all
Hedge Agreements then in effect for any current or future calculation
period shall not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance for
the corresponding Interest Accrual Period; and

     (v) each Hedge Agreement will provide that any scheduled periodic
payments required to be made by the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty on
the same date with respect to a Hedge Transaction will be netted so that
only the net difference between such payments will be paid, with any net
periodic payments to be paid into the Principal and Interest Account (if
payable by the Hedge Counterparty) or from the Principal and Interest
Account (if payable by the Issuer) and distributed pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) As additional security hereunder, the Issuer hereby assigns to the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty,
all right, title and interest of the Issuer in each Hedge Agreement, each Hedge
Transaction, and all present and future amounts payable by a Hedge Counterparty
to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the respective Hedge Agreement
and Hedge Transaction(s) with that Hedge Counterparty (“Hedge
Collateral”), and Grants a security interest to the Indenture Trustee, as
agent for the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, in the Hedge Collateral.
The Issuer acknowledges that, as a result of that assignment, the Issuer may
not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, exercise any
rights under any Hedge Agreement or Hedge Transaction, except for the Issuer’s
right under any Hedge Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to
meet the Issuer’s obligations under Section 3.32 hereof or except as
otherwise contemplated in this Section 3.32 and in subsection
5.02(g) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Nothing herein shall have the
effect of releasing the Issuer from any of its obligations under any Hedge
Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as requiring the consent
of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder or any Hedge Counterparty for the
performance by the Issuer of any such obligations.

     (c) The Issuer hereby agrees to maintain a register of outstanding Hedge
Agreements. Such register shall contain the name of each Hedge Counterparty as
well as the address of each Hedge Counterparty. The Issuer shall provide such
names and addresses to the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and each
Rating Agency on a current basis.

     (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from the Issuer, establish a
single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account, which shall be held in trust in the name of
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge
Counterparties and over which the Trustee shall have the exclusive control and
the sole right of withdrawal. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit all
collateral received from a Hedge Counterparty under a Hedge Agreement in the
Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on
deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral
Account shall be held in trust by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The only permitted withdrawal from

26

 

or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account shall be upon Issuer Order (i) for application
to obligations of a Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under Hedge Agreement if
such Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination or (ii) to return
collateral to such Hedge Counterparty when and as required by such Hedge
Agreement. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such Issuer
Order. Each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in accordance
with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement.

     (e) Each Hedge Agreement will provide that if at any time the Hedge
Counterparty or the Hedge Counterparty’s credit support provider does not have
the long-term or short-term ratings required to be a Qualified Hedge
Counterparty then (A) the Hedge Counterparty shall either post collateral
within 30 days as provided in the Credit Support Annex to the Hedge Agreement
or (B) transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and obligations under the
Hedge Agreement to another Person in accordance with the terms of the Hedge
Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Hedge
Counterparty has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating by Moody’s of below
“A3” or “A3” on watch or a short-term debt rating by Moody’s of below “P-1”
(for so long as the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes are deemed
Outstanding hereunder and are rated by Moody’s), the Hedge Counterparty shall
transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and obligations under the Hedge
Agreements to another Person in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 3.33. Payments from Obligor Lock–Boxes and Obligor Lock–Box
Accounts.

     The Issuer agrees not to make, or permit to be made, any change, in the
direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made by an
Obligor Lock–Box Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box Account
in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely effect
the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank or to change the
name in which an Obligor Lock-Box or Obligor Lock-Box Account is maintained
without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent
of the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Issuer further
agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later than one
(1) Business Day after the Issuer’s receipt, any notice it receives that an
Obligor is changing the direction of or instructions with respect to any
payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box Account or the name
in which an Obligor Lock-Box or Obligor Lock-Box Account is maintained.

     Section 3.34. Maintenance of Listing.

     So long as any of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3
Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes remain
Outstanding, the Issuer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the listing of such Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class
A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes on the
Irish Stock Exchange. If, despite such efforts, such listing cannot be
maintained, the Issuer shall instead use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain
and thereafter maintain a listing of such Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes,
the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes
on any other stock exchange located within a member country of the European
Union.

     Certain of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes shall be registered
initially in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in
the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes through the book–entry
facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of $500,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to subsections 4.02(b),
(p), (q) and (r), the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2
Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D
Notes and the Class E Note shall be issued in such names and denominations as
may be set forth on an Issuer Order delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by
the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee,
authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Indenture Trustee to
or upon the order of the Issuer.

     Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

     (a) The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept a Note 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 and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The
Indenture Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note Register shall
contain the name, remittance instructions, Class of each Noteholder, as well as
the Series and the number in the Series.

     (b) Each Class of Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of
$500,000 initial principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof, except that one Note of each Class may be in a different denomination
so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Notes of such Class
shall equal the applicable Initial Class A-1 Principal Balance, the Initial
Class A-2 Principal Balance, the Initial Class A-3 Principal Balance, the
Initial Class B Principal Balance, the Initial Class C Principal Balance, the
Initial Class D Principal Balance and the Initial Class E Principal Balance,
respectively. On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will execute and
authenticate (i) one or more Global Notes and/or (ii) Individual Notes all in
an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the applicable Initial Class A-1
Principal
Balance, the applicable Initial Class A-2 Principal Balance, the Initial
Class A-3 Principal Balance, the applicable Initial Class B Principal Balance,
the applicable Initial Class C Principal Balance, the applicable Initial Class
D Principal Balance and the applicable Initial Class E Principal Balance.

     (c) The Global Notes (i) shall be delivered by the Issuer to the
Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions, shall be delivered by
the Issuer on behalf of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian,
and in each case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) with
respect to the Rule 144A Global Notes, shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect:

28

 

“Unless this Note is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New
York corporation (“DTC”), to the Note Registrar
or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name
of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by
an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment
is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as
the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an
interest herein.”

     The Global Notes may be deposited with such other Depository as the Issuer
may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be
appropriate; provided, that, such successor Depository maintains
a book–entry system that qualifies to be treated as “registered form” under
Section 163(f)(3) of the Code.

     The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and
deliver a Letter of Representations with the Depository relating to the Notes.

     (d) With respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner
Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) and the Indenture Trustee
shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants
or Beneficial Owners for which the Depository holds Notes from time to time as
a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer,
the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, (as such and in its individual capacity), and
the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect
to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct
or Indirect Participant with respect to the ownership interest in the Notes,
(b) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person,
other than a registered Holder of a Note, (c) the payment to any Direct or
Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Holder of a
Note as shown in the Note Register, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Notes or (d) the making of
book–entry transfers among Participants of the Depository with respect to Notes
registered in the Note Register in the name of the nominee of the Depository.
No Person other than a registered Holder of a Note as shown in the Note
Register shall receive a Note evidencing such Note.

     (e) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Indenture Trustee of written
notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with
respect to the payment of distributions by the mailing of checks or drafts to
the registered Holders of Notes appearing as registered Owners in the Note
Register on a Record Date, the name “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall refer
to such new nominee of the Depository.

     (f) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Servicer advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able
to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with
respect to the Global Notes and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified
successor or (ii) the Servicer at its sole option elects to terminate the
book–entry system through the Depository, the Global Notes shall no longer be
restricted to being registered in the

29

 

Note Register in the name of Cede & Co.
(or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that time, the
Servicer may determine that the Global Notes shall be registered in the name of
and deposited with a successor depository operating a global book–entry system,
as may be acceptable to the Servicer, or such depository’s agent or designee
but, if the Servicer does not select such alternative global book–entry system,
then upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Global Notes by the
Depository, accompanied by the registration instructions from the Depository
for registration, the Indenture Trustee shall at the Servicer’s expense
authenticate Individual Notes. Neither the Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Individual Notes, the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Issuer shall recognize the
Holders of the Individual Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

     (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
so long as any Global Notes are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal and interest on such
Global Notes and all notices with respect to such Global Notes shall be made
and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of
Representations.

     (h) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar and, upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Issuer shall execute in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note or Notes of the
same Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication by the Indenture
Trustee. The Note Registrar shall notify the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee of any such transfer.

     (i) At the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be exchanged for other
Notes in authorized denominations of a like Class, upon surrender of the Notes
to be exchanged at such office. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Issuer shall execute the Notes which the Noteholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by wiring instructions, if
applicable, in the form of Exhibit C. The preceding provisions of this
section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note
Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of Notes called for
repurchase.

     (j) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Notes,
but prior to transfer the Note Registrar may require payment by the transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

     All Notes surrendered for payment, transfer and exchange or repurchase
shall be marked canceled by the Note Registrar and retained for one year and
destroyed thereafter.

     (k) By acceptance of an Individual Note, whether upon original issuance or
subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions
on the transfer of such Note set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that
it will transfer such a Note only as provided herein. In addition to the
provisions of subsection 4.02(m) and (n) the following

30

 

restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of
transfer of an Individual Note to a transferee that takes delivery in the form
of an Individual Note:

     (i) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual
Note if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has
provided the Note Registrar with a Rule 144A Certification or to a
transferee who is an Affiliate of the Originator in a transfer which
otherwise complies with subsection 4.02(s); or

     (ii) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of any
Individual Note if (I) such transfer is made to a transferee who is an
Affiliate of the Originator and such transfer otherwise complies with
subsection 4.02(s), or (II) (x) the transferor has advised the
Note Registrar in writing that the Note is being transferred to a Person
that is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified
Purchaser; and (y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the
Note Registrar a Transferee Letter; provided, that, if
based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the delivery of (x)
and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed transfer is
being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable laws, the Note Registrar may as a condition of the
registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish other
certifications, legal opinions or other information prior to registering
the transfer of an Individual Note.

     (l) Subject to subsection 4.02(n), so long as a Global Note remains
outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Note, or transfers by holders of Individual
Notes to transferees that take delivery in the form of beneficial interests in
the Global Note, may be made only in accordance with this subsection 4.02(l)
and in accordance with the rules of the Depository.

     (i) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note During the

applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and Clearstream or
Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the
“Applicable Procedures”), transfer or cause the
transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the
provisions of this subsection 4.02(l)(i). Upon receipt by the
Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions
given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository

certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto given by the
Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note Registrar
shall instruct the Depository to reduce the

31

 

denomination of the Rule 144A
Global Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule
144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with such
reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note
by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the
account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a
Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or

Regulation S Global Note having a denomination equal to the amount by
which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such
transfer.

     (ii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note After the
Distribution Compliance Period. If, after the Distribution
Compliance Period, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A
Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in
such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable
Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest
for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note only
upon compliance with the provisions of this subsection
4.02(l)(ii). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate
Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified
Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation

the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S,

with, and the account of the Depository Participant to be debited for,
such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit
F hereto given by the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such

of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so
transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the
denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate
denomination of the beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause
to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such

behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note having a denomination
equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global
Note was reduced upon such transfer.

     (iii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If

Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form
of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may,
in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or
cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note only upon compliance
with the provisions of this subsection

32

 

4.02(l)(iii). Upon receipt
by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written
instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a

Certification from the transferee of such interest to the effect that

shall instruct the Depository to reduce the denomination of the
Regulation S Global Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest

amount by which the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note was

     (iv) Transfers Within Regulation S Global Notes During
Distribution Compliance Period. If, during the Distribution
Compliance Period, the Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Regulation S
Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in

interest in such Regulation
S Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this

acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case
may be) a beneficial interest in

33

 

the Regulation S Global Note having a
denomination equal to the amount specified in such instructions by which
the account to be debited was reduced upon such transfer. The Note
Registrar shall not be required to monitor compliance by Beneficial
Owners of the provisions of this subsection 4.02(l)(iv).

     (m) Transfers of Interests in Global Notes to Individual Notes.
Any and all transfers from a Global Note to a transferee wishing to take
delivery in the form of an Individual Note will require the transferee to take
delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Note
described on the face of such Note, and such transferee agrees that it will
transfer such Individual Note only as provided therein and herein. No such
transfer shall be made and the Note Registrar shall not register any such
transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this subsection
4.02(m) or is made to an Affiliate of the Originator in a transfer which
otherwise complies with subsection 4.02(s).

     (i) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a Person
who is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified
Purchaser will require delivery of such Note to the transferee in the
form of an Individual Note and the Note Registrar shall register such
transfer only if prior to the transfer such transferee furnishes to the
Note Registrar (1) a Transferee Letter to the effect that the transfer is
being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified
Purchaser in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Securities
Act, and (2) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Indenture Trustee

Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of subsection
4.02(l) and if the Note Registrar is provided with a Rule 144A
Certification or a Regulation S Transfer Certificate, as applicable.

     (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Global Note to an Individual Note pursuant to
subparagraph 4.02(m)(ii) above shall be made prior to the expiration of
the Distribution Compliance Period and compliance with the certification
requirements of Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the
Securities Act. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note for an Individual Note, as provided
herein, the Note Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the
related Global Note Registrar (or on a continuation of such schedule
affixed to such Global Note Registrar and made a part thereof) an
appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and
a decrease in the denomination of such Global Note Registrar equal to the
denomination of such Individual Note Registrar issued in exchange
therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the
Company in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Note Registrar
issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the
Global Note Registrar shall bear the Securities Legend.

     (n) Transfers of Individual Note to the Global Notes. If a Holder
of an Individual Note wishes at any time to transfer such Note to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the
related Regulation S Global Note or the related Rule 144A Global Note, such
transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures,

34

 

and
this subsection 4.02(n). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at the
Corporate Trust Office of (1) the Individual Note to be transferred with an
assignment and transfer, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository
Participant’s account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note or
such Rule 144A Global Note, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the
denomination of the Individual Note to be so transferred, (3) a written order
given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information
regarding the account of the Depository Participant (and, in the case of any
transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the
case may be) to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) (x) if
delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global Note, a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto, given by
the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, if delivery is to be
taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note or
(y) a Transferee Letter from the transferee of such interest to the effect that
such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, if delivery is to be taken
in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, the Note
Registrar shall cancel such Individual Note, execute and deliver a new
Individual Note for the denomination of the Individual Note not so transferred,
registered in the name of the Holder, and the Note Registrar shall instruct the
Depository to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note or the
Rule 144A Global Note, as the case may be, by the denomination of the
Individual Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who, in the case of
any increase in the Regulation S Global Note during the Distribution Compliance
Period, shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear
or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a corresponding denomination of
the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be.

     It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an
Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer
take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note.

     (o) An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for an
Individual Note or Notes, an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for a
beneficial interest in a Global Note and
an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for another Individual Note or
Notes (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of
subsequent transfer, and in the case of the Global Notes, so long as the Global
Notes remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may
be made only in accordance with this Section 4.02 and in accordance with the
rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures.

     (p) (i) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Note for
a beneficial interest in the Global Note as provided herein, the Note Registrar
shall cancel such Individual Note and shall (or shall request the Depository
to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the applicable Global Note (or on a
continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Note and made a part
thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or
transfer and an increase in the Note balance of the Global Note equal to the
Note balance of such Individual Note exchanged or transferred therefor.

     (ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in the Global Note for an Individual Note as provided herein,
the Note Registrar shall (or shall

35

 

request the Depository to) endorse on
the schedule affixed to the Global Note (or on a continuation of such
schedule affixed to the Global Note and made a part thereof) an
appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and
a decrease in the Note balance of the Global Note equal to the Note
balance of such Individual Note issued in exchange therefor or upon
transfer thereof.

     (q) The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Note issued in
exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Note or of a beneficial
interest in the Global Note.

     (r) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this
Section 4.02, the holder of any Individual Note may transfer or exchange the
same in whole or in part (in an initial Note balance equal to the minimum
authorized denomination of $500,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof) by surrendering such Note at the Corporate Trust Office, or at
the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of
assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note
Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the
case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may,
subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or
its nominee) to notify the Note Registrar in writing of a request for transfer
or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Note or Notes.
Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Note Registrar shall,
within five (5) Business Days of such request made at such Corporate Trust
Office, cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and the Note Registrar to
deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of
transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at
the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of
exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder, as applicable, may
request, an Individual Note or Notes, as the case may require, for a like
aggregate Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or
denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange
of any Individual Note shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust
Office by the registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized
attorney–in–fact.

     (s) No transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws or is made
in accordance with said Act and laws. No transfer of any Note shall be
made if such transfer would require the Issuer to register as an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act. In the event of any such transfer,
unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities
Act or Regulation S under the Securities Act or is a transfer of the Class E
Note to an Affiliate of the Originator, (i) the Indenture Trustee may require a
written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant
to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor,
from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer, or the Servicer and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall require the
transferee to execute a Transferee Letter or the transfer is to execute the
applicable certification in the event of a transfer pursuant to Regulation S
certifying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which Transferee Letter or certification shall not be an expense of
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer. The holder of a Note
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and by accepting a Note and the
benefits of this Indenture does hereby agree to, indemnify the
indenture

36

 

Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Initial Purchasers against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws. None of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Trust Depositor or the Initial Purchasers intends or is obligated
to register or qualify any Note under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws.

     (t) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
on the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate in the name of,
and deliver to, the Trust Depositor, the Class E Note in the form of a single
Individual Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Class E
Principal Balance. The Holder of the Class E Note shall initially be the Trust
Depositor. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of one or more Class
E Notes (a “Transfer”) shall be made unless simultaneously with the
Transfer (1) a proportionate amount of Trust Certificates are Transferred so
that the ratio of the Percentage Interest of the Trust Certificates so
Transferred to all Trust Certificates and the ratio of the Percentage Interest
of the Class E Notes so Transferred to all Class E Notes are equal, (2) the
Transfers of the Trust Certificates and Class E Notes referred to herein are
made to the same Person, and (3) the Percentage Interest of the Trust
Certificates and Class E Notes, respectively, so transferred is no less than
ten (10%) percent.

     (u) The Class E Notes may only be owned by United States Persons (as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).

     (v) No Class E Note may be acquired directly or indirectly, by, for, on
behalf of or with any assets of an employee benefit plan as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a “plan” described in and
subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”). No transfer of a
Class E Note representing an Individual Note shall be made unless the Indenture
Trustee shall have received a certification from the transferee of such
Individual Note, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to the effect that such transferee is
acquiring a Class E Note in conformance with the requirements of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, in the event
any purported transfer of any Class E Note representing an Individual Note is
made without delivery of the certification referred to above, such
certification shall be deemed to have been made by the Transferee by its
acceptance of such Individual Note.

     Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

     Subject to UCC § 8–405, if (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee 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 protected purchaser, 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; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been
called for repurchase, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may
pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the
Repurchase 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

37

 

preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note
in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was
delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom
such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a
protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense
incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

     Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03,
the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

     Section 4.04. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted
Interest.

     (a) The Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such Interest Accrual
Period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. Any installment of interest
or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly
provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Remittance Date shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date, by check
mailed first–class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on
the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Global Notes have
been issued pursuant to Section
4.02, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name
of the nominee of the Depository (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.),
payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such Person and except for the final installment of
principal payable with respect to such Note on a Remittance Date or on the
applicable Expected Maturity Date and except for the Repurchase Price for any
Note called for repurchase pursuant to Section 10.01(a) which shall be
payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned
undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

     (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Remittance Date as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee with
the consent of the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All
principal payments among the Classes of

38

 

Notes shall be made in the order and
priorities set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and all
principal payments on the Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of such Class. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in
whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
preceding the Remittance Date on which the Issuer expects that the final
installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final
Remittance Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place
where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such
installment. Notices in connection with repurchase of Notes shall be mailed to
Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.

     (c) For so long as the Notes of any Class are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange and the rules of such exchange shall so require, the Issuer will have
a paying agent and transfer agent for such securities in Ireland, and payments
on and transfers or exchanges of interests in such Notes (including partial
interests therein) may be effected through such paying and transfer agent (or
any other paying and transfer agent); provided, that, all
transfers and exchanges must be effected in accordance with this Indenture. In
addition, for so long as the Notes of any Class are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange and the rules of such exchange shall so require, in the case of a
transfer or exchange of a physical instrument representing such security, a
holder thereof may obtain a new physical instrument from the paying agent and
transfer agent in Ireland in accordance with this Indenture.

     Section 4.05. Tax Treatment.

     The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued,
with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, business and
franchise tax purposes, (i) the Notes (other than the Class E Note) will
qualify as indebtedness secured by the Indenture Collateral and (ii) the Issuer
shall not be treated as an association, taxable mortgage pool or publicly
traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Issuer, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder (other than the Class E Noteholder), by the
acceptance of any such Note (and each beneficial owner of a Note, by its
acceptance of an interest in the applicable Note), agree to treat such Notes
for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness
of the Issuer. Each Holder of such Note (other than the Class E Noteholder)
agrees that it will cause
any beneficial owner of such Note acquiring an interest in a Note through
it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment of indebtedness under
applicable tax law, as described in this Section 4.05. The parties
hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as applicable, of
any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7703–3 whereby the Issuer or
any portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes and, except as required by the terms of this Indenture, shall not file
tax returns or obtain any federal employer identification number for the
Issuer, but shall treat the Issuer as a security device or disregarded entity
for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be
construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.

     It is the intent of the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Class E
Noteholder and the Certificateholder that, (i) in the event that the Trust
Certificate and the Class E Note are owned by a single Holder, for federal
income tax purposes, the Trust will be treated as a division of such Holder,
and such Holder, by acceptance of the Trust Certificate and the Class E Note,
agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment and (ii) in the event
that the Trust Certificates

39

 

and/or the Class E Notes are owned by more than one
(1) Holder, for federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be treated as a
partnership, the partners of which are the Certificateholders and the Class E
Noteholders, and each Certificateholder and Class E Noteholder, by acceptance
of a Trust Certificate and a Class E Note, respectively, agree to treat the
Trust Certificate and the Class E Note as equity and to take no action
inconsistent with such treatment.

     Section 4.06. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the
Notes except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii)
substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (iii) rights of
Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv)
Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.10, 3.19,
3.21, 3.22, 4.05, 6.07, 11.15 and the second
sentence of 11.16, (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Indenture Trustee
under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under
Section 4.07) and (vi) the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof
with respect to the property so deposited with the Indenture Trustee payable to
all or any of them, and the Indenture Trustee, on written demand of and at the
expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, when:

     (A) either

(1) all Notes of such Series theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 4.03 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged
from such trust, as provided in Section 3.03) have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee
for cancellation

(i) have become due and payable, or

     (ii) are to be called for repurchase within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee for the giving of
notice of repurchase by the Indenture Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Issuer,

and the Issuer, in the case of (2)(i) or (ii) above, has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with
the Indenture Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations
guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior
to the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such purpose,
in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation when due to the Legal Final
Maturity Date therefor or Repurchase Date (if Notes shall have been
called for repurchase pursuant to Section 10.01), as the
case may be; and

40

 

     (B) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate meeting the applicable requirements of
Section 11.01 and, subject to Section 11.01, stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
Notes have been complied with.

     This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to each
Hedge Agreement when such Hedge Agreement has been terminated and the Hedge
Counterparty has received all amounts it is entitled to receive upon such
termination.

     Section 4.07. Application of Trust Money.

     All moneys deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06
hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of Notes for the payment or repurchase of which such moneys have been
deposited with the Indenture Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon
for principal and interest; but such moneys need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required herein or in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or required by law.

     Section 4.08. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

     In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to the Notes, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than the
Indenture Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such
Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be
held and applied according to Section 3.05 and thereupon such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

Event of Default under clause (v) of the definition of “Event of Default,” its
status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

     Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(vi) or 5.01(vii)),
then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Noteholders
may declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer and the Rating Agencies (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by
Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such
Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(vi) or Section 5.01(vii) occurs, the
unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and
payable.

     At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been

obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V
provided, the Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty, may rescind and annul such

agents and counsel; and

43

 

     (B) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section
5.12.

     No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent default or
impair any right consequent thereto. No such rescission or annulment shall
affect a Hedge Agreement or any Hedge Transaction that has been terminated in
accordance with the terms thereof. Any Hedge Agreement in effect at the time
of any declaration of acceleration of maturity shall remain in effect until
such time as such declaration of acceleration of maturity can no longer be
rescinded or annulled under the terms of this Indenture.

     Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.

     (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the
payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note
when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period
of two Business Days, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the whole amount then due and
payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue
principal, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient
to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and
its agents and counsel.

     (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and subject to the
provisions of Section 11.17 hereof may institute a Proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding
to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out
of the Indenture Collateral, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed
to be payable.

     (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee
subject to the provisions of Section 11.17 hereof may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the Hedge
Counterparties and by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

     (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest
in the Indenture Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or

44

 

in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings
relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

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

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

     (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received
with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture
Trustee on their behalf;

     (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and

     (v) to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official
committee of creditors appointed in such matter;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

     (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

45

 

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

     (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary
to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture
(including, without limitation, Sections 5.4(a), 5.10 and
5.11), if the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under Section
10.01 when and as due, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the
Class A-1 Noteholders evidencing 66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal

Balance of all Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Noteholders evidencing 66 2/3% of
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class B Notes, the Class C
Noteholders evidencing 66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance
of all Class C Notes or the Class D Noteholders evidencing 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class D Notes, proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such
appropriate proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for specific performance of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of
any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal
or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     Section 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

     (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject
to the provisions of Section 11.17 hereof, the Indenture Trustee may do one or
more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 and Section 5.15):

     (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes
or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
otherwise, and all amounts payable under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and
any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

     (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or
partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Indenture
Collateral;

46

 

     (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and

remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Hedge
Counterparties; and

     (iv) sell the Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof or rights
or interest therein;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or
otherwise liquidate the Indenture Collateral following an Event of Default,
other than a default in the payment of any principal or interest on the Notes
for 30 days or more, unless (A) (i) prior to the payment in full of the Class
A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, the Class A-1 Noteholders evidencing 100%
of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance of all Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Noteholders evidencing 100% of
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-3 Notes, the Class B
Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
all Class B Notes, the Class C Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class C Notes and the Class D Noteholders
evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class D
Notes and, unless it shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each Hedge
Counterparty upon a termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty
consents thereto, (ii) from and after the payment in full of the Class A-1
Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and amounts due under the Hedge Agreements, the Class
E Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Class E Note consents thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all
amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest and all
amounts payable to each Hedge Counterparty upon termination of the Hedge
Agreements, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Loans will not
continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes, in accordance with their respective terms as they would
have become due if the Notes had not been
declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of (i)
prior to the payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the
Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes,
the Class A-1 Noteholders evidencing 66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance of all Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Noteholders evidencing
66 2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-2 Notes,

the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class D Notes and, unless it
shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each Hedge Counterparty upon a
termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty, and (ii) from and
after the payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the
Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and
amounts due under the Hedge Agreements, the Class E Noteholders evidencing 66
2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes. In
determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and
(C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain
 and rely upon an opinion
of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
as to the

47

 

feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Indenture Collateral for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long
as a Servicer Default has not occurred, any Sale of the Indenture Collateral
shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Loans by the Servicer
as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property as set forth in Section
7.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Remittance Date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least five
days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the
Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the Remittance Date and
the amount to be paid.

     Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Indenture Collateral.

     If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section
5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may,
but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral. It is
the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times
sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes,
amounts due under the Hedge Agreements and other obligations of the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining
whether or not to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral. In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Indenture Collateral for such purpose.

     Section 5.06. 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

     (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture

48

 

in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
hereunder and (B) from and after the payment in full of the Class A-1
Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, the Class E Noteholders evidencing
25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes
have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such
proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Indenture Trustee hereunder;

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

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

     (v) (A) prior to the payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes and the Class D Notes, 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 Principal Balance of the
Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes and Class D Notes and (B) from and after payment
in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, no direction

Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
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 a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine
what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Indenture.

     Section 5.07. 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

in the case of repurchase, on or after the Repurchase Date) and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

49

 

     If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely
to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such
Proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent
the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy.

     Section 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such
Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the
Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

     Section 5.11. Control by Noteholders.

     The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee 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;

     (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any
direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture
Collateral shall be by Holders of the Notes representing (A) prior to the
payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class
A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes,
100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-1
Notes, all Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, all Class B Notes, all
Class C Notes, all Class D Notes and, unless it shall be paid in full all
amounts payable to each Hedge Counterparty upon a termination of its

A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and

     (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Indenture
Collateral pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture
Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall be of no
force and effect unless (A) prior to the payment in full of the Class A-1
Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, the Class A-1 Noteholders evidencing
100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-1

Principal Balance of all Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Noteholders
evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all

Balance of all Class C Notes, the Class D Noteholders evidencing 100% of
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class D Notes and,
unless it shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each Hedge
Counterparty upon a termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge
Counterparty consent thereto and (B) from and after the payment in full
of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and amounts due under
the Hedge Agreements, the Class E Noteholders evidencing 100% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes consents
thereto; and

     (iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

     Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section
5.11, subject to Section 6.01, 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 or Hedge Counterparties not
consenting to such action.

     Section 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes
as provided in Section 5.02, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past
Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default with respect
to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

     Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto. No such waiver shall affect a
Hedge Agreement or any Hedge Transaction that has been terminated in accordance
with its terms.

     Section 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.

51

 

     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, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall
not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in
the aggregate more than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance 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.

     Section 5.14. 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 5.15. Sale of Indenture Collateral.

     (a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any
portion of a Indenture Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject
to the provisions of Section
5.05 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale
shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the
Indenture Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the
entire Indenture Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the
Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee
hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation
for any Sale.

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Indenture
Collateral, or any portion thereof, unless the Holders of all the Class A-1
Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class
D Notes, and each Hedge Counterparty consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee
to make such Sale and:

     (i) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire
amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes and the
Hedge Counterparties under the Hedge Agreements, in full payment thereof
(including all Hedge Breakage Costs and other amounts payable in
connection with the termination of the Hedge Agreements) on the
Remittance Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

     (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that
the conditions for retention of the Indenture Collateral set forth in
Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (in

52

 

making any such determination, the
Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section
5.05, and the Majority Noteholders consent to such Sale, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld).

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

     (i) any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the
property offered for Sale, and upon compliance with the terms of Sale may
hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further
accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver
any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount
which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such Sale, be
payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon
shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the
Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial
payment;

     (ii) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property
offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, Requirements of Law in
connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Indenture
Collateral in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may
make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price
against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the
Holders of the Notes and Hedge Counterparties as a result of such Sale in
accordance with subsection 5.04(b) on the Remittance Date next
succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of
any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it,
without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such
Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such
Notes, and any
property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and
dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the
Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof;

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

     (v) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to
ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
moneys.

     Section 5.16. 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

53

 

the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture
Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property
collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with
subsection 5.04(b).

     Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

     (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the
Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request
to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Trust Depositor and
the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under

obligations under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and
use the same degree of care and

54

 

skill in their exercise as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s
own affairs with respect to the Indenture Collateral.

     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Indenture Trustee; and

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or

direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.

Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c)

     The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee 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 Registrar, co–registrar, Paying Agent or co–paying agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with
Section 6.11.

     Section 6.04. 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 Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
validity or sufficiency of any security interest intended to be created or the
characterization of the Notes for tax purposes 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 6.05. Notice of Event of Default.

     The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, each Hedge
Counterparty and the Owner Trustee notice of an Event of Default within 30 days
after the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof in accordance with
Section 6.01. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     Section 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.

     The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as
may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income
tax returns. In addition, upon the Issuer’s or a Noteholder’s written request,
the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish information reasonably requested
by the Issuer or such Noteholder that is reasonably available to the Indenture
Trustee to enable the Issuer or such Noteholder to perform its federal and
state income tax reporting obligations.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any tax reporting,
disclosure, record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under
Internal Revenue Code sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not
limited to, the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any required list
maintenance under Treasury Regulations Section 301.6112-1 or any successor
provision.

     Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Issuer shall or shall cause the Trust Depositor to pay to the
Indenture Trustee on each Remittance Date such reasonable compensation for its
services pursuant to a separate agreement between the Indenture Trustee and the
Trust Depositor. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation

57

 

shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall or
shall cause the Trust Depositor to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all
reasonable out–of–pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.
The Issuer shall or shall cause the Trust Depositor to indemnify the Indenture
Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify
the Issuer and the Trust Depositor promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the
Trust Depositor shall not relieve the Issuer or the Trust Depositor of its
obligations hereunder or under the Trust Agreement. Neither the Issuer nor the
Trust Depositor 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.

     The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition
in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the
Issuer for the non-payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by
this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer,
the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of
all Notes issued under this Indenture.

     The amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.07 shall not, except as provided by Section 7.05 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, exceed on any Distribution Date the limitation on the
amount thereof described in such Section 7.05 for such Distribution Date;
provided, that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall not institute any
proceeding for payment of any amount payable hereunder except in connection
with an action pursuant to Section 5.03 or 5.04 for the
enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and (ii) the Indenture Trustee may only seek to enforce payment of such
amounts in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of the Secured
Parties in the manner set forth in Section 5.04.

     The Indenture Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section
6.07 and Section 7.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance
with the Priority of Payments, and only to the extent that the payment thereof
would not result in an Event of Default and the failure to pay such amounts to
the Indenture Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default.
Subject to Section 6.08, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to serve
as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the
Indenture Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder and hereby
agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the
Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.07 until at
least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period
then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this
Indenture.

     The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in clauses (iv) or (v) of the definition of “Event

58

 

of
Default” with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     Section 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

     No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer. The Majority Noteholders or the Issuer, with the written consent of
the Majority Noteholders, may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing and may appoint a
successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

     (iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

     (v) the Indenture Trustee defaults in any of its obligations under
the Transaction Documents and such default is not cured within 30 days
after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee receives written
notice of such default.

     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.

     A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. No successor
Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
6.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such Person shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 6.11. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders and the Hedge
Counterparties. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property (including all Indenture Collateral) held by it as Indenture Trustee
to the successor Indenture Trustee and shall execute and deliver such
instruments and such other documents as may reasonably be required to more
fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Indenture Trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

59

 

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

     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as
provided in this Section 6.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of such
succession hereunder to all Holders of Notes at their addresses as shown in the
Note Register and the Hedge Counterparties at their addresses as shown on the
register kept by the Issuer, as provided to the Indenture Trustee. If the
Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

     Section 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

     If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to,
another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or
transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture
Trustee; provided, that, such corporation or banking
association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section
6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the
Hedge Counterparties prior written 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 provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall
have.

     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 Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons, to act as a co–trustee or co–trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Collateral,
and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, such interest to the Indenture
Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co–trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor Indenture Trustee

60

 

under Section 6.11 and no notice to the
Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties of the appointment of any co–trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof. No
appointment of a co–trustee or a separate trustee shall relieve the Indenture
Trustee of its duties and obligations hereunder.

     (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 Indenture Collateral or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co–trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

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

     (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation
of or remove 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.

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

     Section 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification.

61

 

     The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) a national
banking association or banking corporation or trust company organized and doing
business under the laws of any state or the United States, (ii) authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, (iv) having unsecured and
unguaranteed long–term debt obligations rated at least Baa3 by Moody’s, BBB by
Fitch and BBB– by S&P, and (v) is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 6.11 its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.11, the Indenture Trustee shall (a) give
prompt notice to the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Noteholders
and the Hedge Counterparties that it has so ceased to be eligible to be the
Indenture Trustee and (b) resign, upon the request of the Majority Noteholders
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08.

Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall
not (i) violate any provision of any law or any order, writ, judgment or decree
of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to the Indenture
Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) violate any provision of the corporate
charter or by–laws of the Indenture Trustee or (iii) violate any provision of,
or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in
the Indenture Collateral pursuant to the provisions of, any mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party,
which violation, default or lien could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the Indenture Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its
duties under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party or the transactions contemplated in this Indenture and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

     (e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall
not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to,
the filing or registration with or the

62

 

taking of any other action in respect of
any governmental authority or agency regulating the banking and corporate trust
activities of the Indenture Trustee.

     (f) This Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee and

enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the application of
equitable principles in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees and covenants that it will not at any time in
the future, deny that this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Indenture Trustee.

     (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not take any action, or fail to take any
action, if such action or failure to take action will materially interfere with
the enforcement of any rights of the
Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties under this Indenture or the other
Transaction Documents.

     Section 6.13. Directions to Indenture Trustee.

     The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed:

     (i) to accept a collateral assignment of the Loans and hold the
assets of the Indenture Collateral as security for the Noteholders and
Hedge Counterparties;

     (ii) to authenticate and deliver the Notes substantially in the form
prescribed by Exhibit A in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture;

     (iii) to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it

to have a “conflicting interest” (as defined in the TIA) as a result of acting
as trustee for the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes,
the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Note,
the Issuer shall appoint a successor Indenture Trustee for the Class A-1 Notes,
the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes
and the Class D Notes and a successor for the Class E Note so that there will
be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes,
the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes
on the one hand, and for the Class E Note on the other hand. No such event

     (c) On each Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute all

to the Holders of the Trust Certificates in accordance with the provisions of

the Hedge Counterparties as provided by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (e) The proceeds of any purchase or sale of the assets of the Issuer
described in Section 10.01 hereof shall be deposited in the Note Distribution

     Except for releases or conveyances required or permitted by the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Indenture Trustee
shall receive at least two (2) Business Days’ notice when requested by the
Issuer to take any action pursuant to subsection 8.05(a), accompanied by
copies of any instruments to be executed, and the Indenture Trustee shall also
require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of
any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and
concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been
complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the
security for the Notes or the Hedge Agreements or the rights of the Noteholders
and the Hedge Counterparties in contravention of the provisions of this
Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall
not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Indenture
Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely as to factual matters,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in
connection with any such action.

     Subject to Section 4.06, this Indenture and the respective

distributed pursuant to Article III and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

     Section 8.05. Release of Indenture Collateral.

     (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and reasonable expenses, the
Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture
shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture,
or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under
circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture,
Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture
Trustee as provided in Article IV hereunder shall be bound to ascertain the
Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent, or see to the application of any moneys.

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as (i) there are no Notes
Outstanding, (ii) all outstanding Hedge Transactions under all Hedge Agreements
then in effect have been terminated and all payments payable to the Hedge
Counterparties in connection with such termination have been paid in full, and
(iii) all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture have been
paid, release any remaining portion of the Indenture Collateral that secured
the Notes from the lien of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall release
property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this subsection 8.05(b)
only upon receipt of a request from the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to
such release have been satisfied.

     Section 8.06. Surrender of Notes Upon Final Payment.

     By acceptance of any Note, the Holder thereof agrees to surrender such

into one or more indentures supplemental, in form satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, for any of the following purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer

     (i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any
time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey

of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional

Indenture or in any supplemental indenture; provided, that, such action
shall not as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or
the Hedge Counterparties in any material respect;

     (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment

     (viii) to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resales and
other transfers of the Notes to reflect any changes in Applicable Law or

67

 

thereof) or to enable the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee to rely upon the exemption from registration under
the Securities Act or the 1940 Act or to remove restrictions on resale or
transfer to the extent required hereunder;

     (ix) to make such amendments to this Indenture or the Notes (other

deem necessary or advisable in order for the Class A-1 Notes, the Class
A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and
the Class D Notes to qualify for or maintain their listing on the Irish

     (x) to evidence or implement any change to this Indenture required

stipulations that may be therein contained.

     (b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but
with prior notice to the Rating Agencies, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes or any Hedge
Counterparty under this Indenture; provided, however, that such
action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) adversely affect
in any material respect the interest of any Noteholder or any Hedge
Counterparty or (ii) cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax or
be classified as a taxable mortgage pool within the meaning of Section 7701(i)
of the Code.

     (c) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, prior
to entering into any supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01,

that entry by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee into such supplemental indenture
satisfies the Moody’s Rating Condition.

     Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders.

     The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order,
also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the
Majority Noteholders by Act of such Holders and the Hedge Counterparties, enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however,
that (x) that the Issuer shall only enter into an indenture supplemental
hereunder in compliance with Section 4.01(c) of the Trust Agreement, and
(y) no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of
each Note affected thereby:

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

68

 

the application of
collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of the Indenture Collateral
to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place
of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the
interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for
the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the
application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V,
to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
respective due dates thereof;

     (ii) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal

     (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the

     (v) modify any provision of this Section 9.02 except to
increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain
additional provisions of this Indenture or the Transaction Documents
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Note affected thereby;

     (vi) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity
with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Indenture
Collateral or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein,
terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject
hereto or deprive any Noteholder or any Hedge Counterparty of the
security provided by the lien of this Indenture; and provided,
further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax or be
classified as a taxable mortgage pool within the meaning of Section
7701(i) of the Code; or

     (vii) change the definition of Eligible Loan.

     Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, in no
event may Section 3.32 of the Indenture be amended or modified in any
respect without the prior written consent of each Hedge Counterparty.

     The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders or Hedge
Counterparties under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of
any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act
shall approve the substance thereof.

69

 

     Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture
Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes and the Hedge Counterparties to
which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a copy of such
supplemental Indenture or a notice setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

     Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, prior to
entering into any supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.02, the
Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall obtain written confirmation from each of
Moody’s and S&P that entry by the Issuer and
Indenture Trustee into such supplemental indenture satisfies the Moody’s
Rating Condition and the S&P Rating Condition, respectively.

     Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide copies of each supplemental indenture to
the Rating Agencies.

     Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified
and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby,
and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties,
liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer and the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and
amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture
shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture
for any and all purposes.

     Section 9.05. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

     Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture
Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to
any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in
the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

OPTIONAL REPURCHASE OF NOTES

     Section 10.01. Optional Repurchase.

     At any time during the Call Period, the Issuer may repurchase the Notes in
whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Holder of the Class E Note
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any
Remittance Date on which the Holder of the Class E Note provides notice to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of its election to cause the Issuer to
repurchase the Notes. The Holder of the Class E Note may exercise its option
to cause the Issuer to repurchase Notes pursuant to said Section 10.01
by directing the Issuer to deposit in full in the Note Distribution Account an
amount equal to the Repurchase Price. If the Notes are
to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Issuer shall
furnish the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies notice of such repurchase
no later than 10 days prior to the proposed Repurchase Date and the Issuer
shall deposit with the Indenture Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the
Repurchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased and all Hedge Transactions then
outstanding under any Hedge Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and
all amounts payable to the Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage
Costs, shall be paid in full on the Repurchase Date, and all such Notes shall
be due and payable on the Repurchase Date upon the furnishing of a notice
complying with Section 10.02 to each Holder of Notes.

     Section 10.02. Form of Repurchase Notice.

     Notice of repurchase under Section 10.01 shall be given by the
Indenture Trustee by facsimile, overnight courier or by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Repurchase Date
to each Holder of Notes and to each Hedge Counterparty, as of the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Repurchase Date, at such
Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

     All notices of repurchase shall state:

     (i) the Repurchase Date;

     (ii) the Repurchase Price;

     (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Repurchase
Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes
are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price (which shall be
the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.02); and

     (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the
Repurchase Date.

     Notice of repurchase 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
repurchase, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair
or affect the validity of the repurchase of any other Note.

     Section 10.03. Notes Payable on Repurchase Date.

71

 

     The Notes to be repurchased shall, following notice of repurchase as
required by Section 10.02, on the Repurchase Date become due and payable
at the Repurchase Price and no interest shall accrue on the Repurchase Price
for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for
purposes of calculating the Repurchase Price. Following the repurchase in
whole of the Offered Notes, the Class E Note will be repurchased in whole
whether or not any amounts are available to the Issuer for distribution to the
Holder of the Class E Note in connection with such repurchase.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

     (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the
proposed action have been complied with, and, if required, an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any
such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

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

     (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;

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

     (v) if the signer of such Trust Certificate or Opinion is required
to be Independent, the Statement required by the definition of the term
“Independent”.

     (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Indenture Collateral or other property
or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in subsection 11.01(a)
or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an

72

 

Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the estimated fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to
the Issuer of the Indenture Collateral or other property or securities to be so
deposited.

     (ii) Subject to clause (iii), whenever any property or
securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate
as to the estimated fair value (within ninety (90) days of such release)
of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in
the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

     (iii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer
may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of
this Section 11.01, (A) collect, sell or otherwise dispose of
Loans and Indenture Collateral as and to the extent permitted or required
by the Transaction Documents, or (B) make cash payments out of the Trust
Accounts.

     Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

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

     Any certificate or opinion of 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 that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which the 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 Issuer, the
Trust Depositor, or other appropriate Person, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Trust Depositor or such other Person, unless such counsel knows
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters
are erroneous.

     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 in all material respects, 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

73

 

of the Issuer to have
such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report.
The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture
Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion
contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

     Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by 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 6.01) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided
in this Section 11.03.

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

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

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or 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 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee and Others.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or
furnished to or filed with:

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

     (ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed

74

 

the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, CapitalSource or the
Trust Depositor. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received
by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the
case of S&P, at the following address: Standard and Poor’s Rating Service, 55

York 10007, cdomonitoring@moodys.com; or as to each of the foregoing, at
such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other
parties; provided, however, that no notice shall be required to
be given to the Rating agencies until a Class of Notes has been rated by such
Rating Agency.

     Notices required to be given to any Hedge Counterparty by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the notice
address shown in the register kept by the Issuer, as provided to the Indenture
Trustee.

     Section 11.05. 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, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by
first–class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, 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.

75

 

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure
to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.

     In addition, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish
Stock Exchange and the rules thereof so require, notices to Holders of such
Notes will also be given by publication in the Irish Stock Exchange’s Daily
Official List or as otherwise required by the rules of the Irish Stock
Exchange.

     Section 11.06. 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
Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different
from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or
notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such
agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices
to be given in accordance with such agreements.

     Section 11.07. Effect of Headings.

     The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 11.08. Successors and Assigns.

     All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successors, co–trustees and agents.

     Section 11.09. Severability.

     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 11.10. Benefits of Indenture.

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

     Section 11.11. 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

76

 

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 11.12. GOVERNING LAW.

     (a) THIS INDENTURE, EACH SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS INDENTURE. Each party hereto (i) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it
and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Indenture by,
among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this subsection
11.12(b).

     Section 11.13. Counterparts.

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by
facsimile), 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 11.14. Issuer Obligation.

     No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee 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,
officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or
obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee and the Trust Company
shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions
of the Trust Agreement.

     Section 11.15. No Petition.

77

 

     (a) The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each
Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not
prior to the date which is one year and one day or, if longer, the preference
period then in effect after payment in full of each Class of Notes rated by any
Rating Agency, institute against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, or join in
any institution against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any
of the Transaction Documents.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Notes, this Indenture or
any other Transaction Document, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes
and this Indenture and any other Transaction Document are limited recourse
obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Indenture Collateral in
accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the
Indenture Collateral and distribution in accordance with the Priority of
Payments, any claims of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, and any
other parties to any Transaction Document shall be extinguished. No recourse
shall be had against any officer, administrator,
member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of the Issuer
or their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts
payable under the Notes, this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. It
is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15(b)
shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Loan Assets for the sums due or to become
due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Loan
Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or
obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture or payable under
any other Transaction Document until such Loan Assets have been realized and
distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments, whereupon any such
outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished.

     Section 11.16. Inspection; Confidentiality.

     The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business
hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Issuer’s
normal operations, 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, in such reasonable manner, and as often as may be reasonably requested.
The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives, its legal
counsel and its auditors 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 and under applicable law. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, all parties to which this Indenture
relates may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind,
the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any
kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
investors relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of
this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment,” “tax structure,” and “tax analyses”
have the meaning given to such terms under Treasury Regulation section
1.6011-4(c).

     Section 11.17. Limitation of Liability.

78

 

     It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this
Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not
individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer
under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and
agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as
personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust
Company but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer,
(c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on
Wilmington Trust Company individually or personally, to perform any covenant
either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being
expressly waived by the parties to this Indenture and by any person claiming
by, through or under them and (d) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust
Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of
the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation,
representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaking by the Issuer under
this Indenture or any related documents.

     Section 11.18. Disclaimer and Subordination.

     Each Noteholder by accepting a Note and each Hedge Counterparty by
accepting the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and agrees that this
Indenture and the Notes represent a debt obligation of the Issuer only and do
not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Indenture Collateral)
of the Trust Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect
of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Assets and
proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing,
each Noteholder by accepting a Note and each Hedge Counterparty by accepting
the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no
right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than
the Indenture Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Trust
Depositor to another securitization trust (i.e., other than the Issuer) or
other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale,
capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a Lien) (“Other
Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and
provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this Section 11.18,
any Noteholder or Hedge Counterparty either (i) asserts an interest in or claim
to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the
Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is
deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets,
whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions
of any applicable insolvency laws or otherwise (including without limitation by
virtue of Section 111l(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed
asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by
the Trust Depositor, then each Noteholder by accepting a Note and each Hedge
Counterparty by accepting the benefits of this Indenture further acknowledges
and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is
and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all
obligations and liabilities of the Trust Depositor which, under the terms of
the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are
entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by
such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is
legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution or
application under applicable law, including any applicable insolvency laws, and
whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the
Trust Depositor),

79

 

including, without limitation, the payment of post–petition
interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination
agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of
Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder and each Hedge
Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law
exists for a breach of this Section 11.18 and that the terms and
provisions of this Section 11.18 may be enforced by an action for
specific performance. Nothing in this Section 11.18 shall in any way
affect the rights of any Hedge Counterparty against any guaranty by
CapitalSource Finance LLC of the Issuer’s obligations under any Hedge
Agreement.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

     This Class A-1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-1 Notes
of the Issuer, designated as its CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes,
Series 2004-2, Class A-1 (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all
issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 28, 2004 (such indenture, as
supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the
“Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Class A-1 Notes. The Class A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Class A-1 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.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Class A-1 Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, or the
Majority Noteholders have declared the Class A-1 Notes to be immediately due
and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture.
All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

     Each Class A-1 Noteholder or Class A-1 Note Owner, by acceptance of a
Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Class A-1 Note Owner, a beneficial interest
in a Class A-1 Note covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer under the
Indenture on the Class A-1 Notes or under any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against the Trust Depositor, the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.

     On each Remittance Date, commencing November 22, 2004, the Indenture
Trustee or Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class
A-1 Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest of the Class A-1 Notes
evidenced by this Class A-1 Note and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Class A-1 Notes on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section
3.05 of the Indenture.

     During each Interest Accrual Period, this Class A-1 Note will bear
interest at the Class A-1 Note Interest Rate.

     Distributions on this Class A-1 Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such name and address shall appear on the Note Register or, upon written
request to the Indenture Trustee, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto as shall appear on the Note
Register without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of
any notation thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, and, in the
case of wire transfers, at the expense of such Person unless such Person
shall own of record Class A-1 Notes which have Initial Class A-1 Principal
Balances aggregating at least $500,000.

A-1-5

 

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class A-1 Note
will be made after due notice by the Indenture Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-1 Note at
the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar in New
York, New York.

     As provided in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
deposits and withdrawals from the Note Distribution Account, the Principal and
Interest Account and the Reserve Fund may be made by the Indenture Trustee from
time to time for purposes other than distributions to Class A-1 Noteholders,
such purposes including reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by it, and investment in Permitted Investments.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Class A-1 Note is registrable in the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-1 Note for registration of transfer at
the offices or agencies maintained by the Note Registrar in New York, New York,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to, the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the holder hereof or
such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Class A-1 Notes in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
undivided Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Class A-1 Note is issuable only as a registered Class A-1 Note. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Class A-1 Note is exchangeable for a new Class A-1 Note evidencing the same
undivided ownership interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Servicer, the Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Note
Registrar, and any agent of any of the foregoing, may treat the person in whose
name this Class A-1 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Class A-2 Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, or the
Majority Noteholders have declared the Class A-2 Notes to be immediately due
and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture.
All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto.

     Each Class A-2 Noteholder or Class A-2 Note Owner, by acceptance of a
Class A-2 Note or, in the case of a Class A-2 Note Owner, a beneficial interest
in a Class A-2 Note covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer under the
Indenture on the Class A-2 Notes or under any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against the Trust Depositor, the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.

     On each Remittance Date, commencing November 22, 2004 , the Indenture

Register without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of
any notation thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class A-2 Note

deposits and withdrawals from the Note Distribution Account, the Principal and
Interest Account and the Reserve Fund may be made by the Indenture Trustee from
time to time for purposes other than distributions to Class A-2 Noteholders,
such purposes including reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by it, and investment in Permitted Investments.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Class A-2 Note is registrable in the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-2 Note for registration of transfer at
the offices or agencies maintained by the Note Registrar in New York, New York,

the Class A-2 Note is exchangeable for a new Class A-2 Note evidencing the same
undivided ownership interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Registrar, and any agent of any of the foregoing, may treat the person in whose
name this Class A-2 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

     This Class E Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class E Notes of
the Issuer, designated as its CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series
2004-2, Class E (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of October 28, 2004 (such indenture, as supplemented or
amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture
Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Class E Notes. The Class E Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Class E 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.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Class E Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, or the
Majority Noteholders have declared the Class E Notes to be immediately due and
payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All
principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E
Noteholders entitled thereto.

     Each Class E Noteholder or Class E Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class E
Note or, in the case of a Class E Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class
E Note covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture
on the Class E Notes or under any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any of their
Affiliates.

     On each Remittance Date, commencing November 22, 2004, the Indenture
Trustee or Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class
E Note is registered on the close of business on the Record Date an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest of the Class E Notes evidenced
by this Class E Note and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of
Class E Notes on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
Indenture.

     Distributions on this Class E Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such name and address shall appear on the Note Register or, upon written
request to the Indenture Trustee, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto as shall appear on the Note
Register without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of
any notation thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, and, in the case of wire transfers, at the expense of such Person
unless such Person shall own of record Class E Notes which have Initial Class E
Principal Balances aggregating at least $500,000.

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class E Note
will be made after due notice by the Indenture Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon

A-7-5

 

presentation and surrender of this Class E Note at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar in New York, New York.

     As provided in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
deposits and withdrawals from the Note Distribution Account, the Principal and
Interest Account and the Reserve Fund may be made by the Indenture Trustee from
time to time for purposes other than distributions to Class E Noteholders, such
purposes including reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by it, and investment in Permitted Investments.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Class E Note is registrable in the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class E Note for registration of transfer at
the offices or agencies maintained by the Note Registrar in New York, New York,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to, the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the holder hereof or
such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Class E Notes in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
undivided Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Class E Note is issuable only as a registered Class E Note. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Class E Note is exchangeable for a new Class E Note evidencing the same
undivided ownership interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Servicer, the Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Note
Registrar, and any agent of any of the foregoing, may treat the person in whose
name this Class E Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Indenture shall
terminate upon the payment to Class E Noteholders of all amounts required to be
paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
the disposition of all property held as part of the Indenture Collateral.

the Trust Agreement, upon the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and
the filing by the Owner Trustee of an appropriately completed Certificate of
Trust (as defined in the Trust Agreement) under the Statutory Trust Statute.
The Trust Depositor, as settlor of the Issuer, shall fund and convey assets to
the Issuer pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. The Issuer shall be
administered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Trust
Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Owner Trustee is hereby specifically recognized by the parties hereto as
empowered to conduct business dealings on behalf of the Issuer in accordance
with the terms hereof and of the Trust Agreement. The Servicer is hereby
specifically recognized by the parties hereto as empowered to act on behalf of
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(e) and

     (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Trust Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys to the Issuer, for a purchase price consisting of $1,000,403,000 in
cash (less placement expenses and certain other expenses associated with the
initial offer and sale of the Notes the proceeds of which represent the

52

 

consideration paid by the Issuer herein), the Class E Note and the Certificate,

chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, copyrights,
copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, instruments,
commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment property,
letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations, accessions, and
other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to the following (the
Trust Depositor’s interest in items (i)–(vi) below, being collectively referred
to herein as the “Loan Assets” but in each case shall exclude any
Retained Interest):

     (i) the Initial Loans, all payments paid in respect thereof and all
monies due, to become due or paid in respect thereof accruing on and
after the Initial Cut–Off Date and all Liquidation Proceeds and
recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the Initial Cut–Off
Date, but not including the Retained Interest or Interest Collections
received prior to September 3, 2004;

     (ii) all security interests and Liens and Collateral subject thereto
from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such
Loans;

     (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other
agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time
supporting or securing payment of such Loans;

     (iv) the Trust Accounts, each Obligor Lock–Box, each Obligor
Lock–Box Account, the Lock–Box, the Lock–Box Account, and together with

     (vii) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and
all of the foregoing.

To the extent the purchase price paid to the Trust Depositor for any Loan is
less than the fair market value of such Loan, the difference between such fair
market value and the purchase price shall be deemed to be a capital
contribution made by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer on the relevant Transfer
Date.

     (c) The Originator and the Trust Depositor acknowledge that the
representations and warranties of the Trust Depositor in Section 3.01(a)
through Section 3.01(e) will run to and be for the benefit of the

     (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan
Assets by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement does not
constitute and is not intended

53

 

to result in a creation or an assumption by the

financed by the Originator, or (i) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by

including but not limited to the Trust Depositor’s right to exercise the
remedies created by the Loan Sale Agreement.

     (e) The Originator, Trust Depositor and Issuer intend and agree that (i)
the transfer of the Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor and the transfer of the
Loan Assets to the Issuer are intended to be a sale, conveyance and transfer of
ownership of the Loan Assets, as the case may be, rather than the mere granting
of a security interest to secure a borrowing and (ii) such Loan Assets shall
not be part of the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s estate in the event of
a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against such Person
under any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such
intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to be of a mere security
interest to secure indebtedness, the Originator shall be deemed to have granted
the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted the
Issuer, as the case may be, a perfected first priority security interest in
such Loan Assets respectively and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under Requirements of Law, securing the repayment of the purchase
price paid hereunder, the obligations and/or interests represented by the
Securities and the obligations of the Issuer under the Hedge Transactions and
the Hedge Agreements, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other
terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement and
the Hedge Agreements, together with such other obligations or interests as may
arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto.

     (f) If any such transfer of the Loan Assets is deemed to be the mere
granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Trust Depositor may,
to secure the Trust Depositor’s own borrowing under this Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the
Loan Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest
to secure a borrowing) repledge and reassign (1) all or a portion of the Loan
Assets pledged to Trust Depositor by the Originator and with respect to which
the Trust Depositor has not released its security interest at the time of such
pledge and assignment, and (2) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and
reassignment may be made by Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and
reassignment by Trust Depositor of its rights under any agreement with the
Originator, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the
Originator. The Originator waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable
(including any right of setoff), against Trust Depositor or any assignee of
Trust Depositor relating to such action by Trust Depositor in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     On the Closing Date, if the conditions set forth in Section 2.02

100% of the Issuer and the Issuer shall issue, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate, to, or upon the order of, the Trust Depositor the Notes secured

acceptance, on behalf of the Issuer, of the Loan Assets, and declares that it
shall maintain such right, title and interest in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Trust Agreement upon the trust herein and therein set

     Section 2.04. Conveyance of Substitute Loans.

     (a) (i) Subject to Sections 2.01(d) and (e) and, as applicable, the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.04(c), the
Originator may, at its option (but shall not be obligated to) either:

     (A) contemporaneously convey to the Trust Depositor one or
more Loans as described in Section 2.04(b); or

     (B) deposit to the Principal Collection Account an amount
sufficient to purchase the Loan as to which a Substitution Event
has occurred and then, prior to the expiry of the Substitution
Period, convey to the Trust Depositor one or more Loans as
described in Section 2.04(b) in exchange for the funds so
deposited or a portion thereof.

     (ii) Any substitution pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be
initiated by delivery of written notice (a “Notice of
Substitution”) to the Indenture Trustee that the Servicer intends to
substitute a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04 and shall be
completed prior to the earliest of:

     (A) the expiration of 180 days after delivery of such notice;

     (B) delivery of written notice to the Indenture Trustee from
the Servicer stating that it does not intend to use any remaining
deposit to purchase Substitute Loans; or

     (C) in the case of a Loan which has become subject to a
Material Modification, the effective date set forth in such
Material Modification (such period described in clause
(ii)(A), (B) or (C), as applicable, being the
“Substitution Period”).

     (iii) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the Loan to be
substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the amount sufficient
to purchase the Loan, which shall be determined in compliance with
Section 2.07. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any
amounts previously deposited in accordance with clause (a)(i)(B) above

56

 

which relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to
purchase one or more Substitute Loans shall be deemed to constitute
Principal Collections and shall be transferred on the next Remittance
Date to the Note Distribution Account and distributed to the
Securityholders in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in
Section 7.05 (a) or (b), as applicable and prior to the
expiration of the related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not
be deemed to be Principal Collections and shall remain in the Principal
Collection Account.

     (b) With respect to any Substitute Loans to be conveyed to the Trust
Depositor by the Issuer as described in Section 2.04(a), the Originator
shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust
Depositor (by delivery of an executed Subsequent Purchase Agreement
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J hereto), without
recourse other than as expressly provided herein and therein (and the Trust
Depositor shall be required to purchase through cash payment or by exchange of
one or more related Loans released by the Issuer to the Trust Depositor on the
Subsequent Transfer Date), all the right, title and interest of the Originator
in and to the following, including but not limited to, all accounts, cash and
currency, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, tangible chattel paper,
copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles,
instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment
property, letter of credit rights, software, supporting obligations,
accessions, and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to the
following (other than the Retained Interest) (the Originator’s interest in
property in clauses (i)-(vii) below, upon such transfer, becoming part
of the “Loan Assets”):

     (i) the Substitute Loans listed in the related Addition Notice, all
payments paid in respect thereof and all monies due, to become due or
paid in respect thereof accruing on and after the related Subsequent
Cut–Off Dates and all Liquidation Proceeds and recoveries thereon, in
each case as they arise after the related Subsequent Cut–Off
Dates, but not including the Retained Interest or Interest
Collections received prior to the Subsequent Cut–Off Date;

     (ii) all security interests and Liens and Collateral subject thereto
from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such
Loans;

     (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other
agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time
supporting or securing payment of such Loans;

     (iv) the Trust Accounts, each Obligor Lock–Box, each Obligor
Lock–Box Account, the Lock–Box, the Lock–Box Account, and together with
all cash and investments in each of the foregoing;

     (v) all collections and records (including computer records) with
respect to the foregoing;

     (vi) all documents relating to the Loan Files; and

     (vii) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and
all of the foregoing.

57

 

To the extent the purchase price paid to the Originator for any Substitute Loan
is less than the fair market value of such Substitute Loan, the difference
between such fair market value and the purchase price shall be deemed to be a
capital contribution made by the Originator to the Trust Depositor on the
relevant Transfer Date.

     (c) Subject to Section 2.01(d) and Section 2.01(e) and the
conditions set forth in Section 2.04(d), the Trust Depositor shall sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse
other than as expressly provided herein and therein, (i) all the right, title
and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the Substitute Loans purchased
pursuant to Sections 2.04(a) and (b), and (ii) all other rights
and property interests consisting of Loan Assets related to such Substitute
Loans (the property in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon such
transfer, becoming part of the “Loan Assets”).

     (d) The Originator shall transfer to the Trust Depositor and the Trust
Depositor shall transfer to the Issuer the Substitute Loans and the other
property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.04(b) only
upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the
related Subsequent Transfer Date (and the delivery of a related Addition Notice
by the Trust Depositor shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Trust Depositor and of the Originator that such conditions have been or will
be, as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, satisfied):

     (i) the Trust Depositor shall have provided the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee with a timely Addition Notice complying with the
definition thereof contained herein (a copy of which shall be provided to
S&P promptly after it is delivered
to the Owner Trustee), which Addition Notice shall in any event be
no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of addition;

     (ii) there shall have occurred, with respect to each such Substitute
Loan, a corresponding Substitution Event with respect to one or more
Loans then in the Loan Pool;

     (iii) the Substitute Loan being conveyed to the Issuer satisfy the
Substitute Loan Qualification Conditions (and on the date of such
substitution, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a
certificate stating that such Loan satisfies each of the Substitute Loan
Qualification Conditions); provided, that, notwithstanding
that a Substitute Loan shall otherwise satisfy clause (f) of the
definition of Substitute Loan Qualification Condition, a Substitute Loan
which at the time of delivery of the related Addition Notice has a
Moody’s rating lower than “B3” shall not become part of the Loan Pool on
the proposed Subsequent Transfer Date;

     (iv) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trust Depositor a
duly executed written assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit
J hereto (the “Subsequent Purchase Agreement”), which shall
include a Subsequent List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

     (v) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly
executed written assignment (including an acceptance by the Owner
Trustee) in substantially the

58

 

form of Exhibit I hereto (the
“Subsequent Transfer Agreement”), which shall include a Subsequent
List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

     (vi) the Trust Depositor shall have deposited or caused to be
deposited in the Principal and Interest Account all Collections received
with respect to the Substitute Loan on and after the related Subsequent
Cut–Off Date;

     (vii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Trust
Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03(i), (ii)
and (iv), 3.04, and 3.05 applicable to the
Substitute Loan (including without limitation that each such Substitute
Loan is an Eligible Loan) shall be true and correct as of the related
Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that,
(A) with respect to the representation and warranty made by the Trust
Depositor in Section 3.05(a), such representation and warranty
shall only apply to a Loan that is being substituted for a Loan that is
not an Eligible Loan and (B) with respect to the representations and
warranties made by the Trust Depositor in Sections 3.03(iv) and
3.05, such representations and warranties shall be determined
based upon the Outstanding Loan Balances of the Substitute Loan as of the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date over the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;

     (viii) the Originator shall bear all incidental transactions costs
incurred in connection with a substitution effected pursuant to this
Agreement and shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent
Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the
Substitute Loan identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the
Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through
the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement; and

     (ix) prior to such substitution the Originator shall provide written
notice to each Rating Agency and shall have received written confirmation
from Moody’s and S&P (which shall respond to the Originator within
fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving written notice from the
Originator of its intention to substitute a Loan) that the proposed
substitution will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating
on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes; provided,
however, that any failure by either of Moody’s and S&P to respond
to the Originator shall be deemed a non–approval by Moody’s and/or S&P,
as applicable. In the case of Fitch, only notice to, not confirmation
from, Fitch shall be required in connection with a proposed substitution,
provided, however, that Fitch shall be entitled to receive from the
Originator financial statements, credit committee papers and such other
information relating to such Substitute Loan as is reasonably requested
by Fitch in connection with the proposed substitution of a Loan.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.04 to the contrary,
in connection with any substitution to be effected pursuant to this Section
2.04, the number of Loans being replaced in connection with such
substitution must be less than or equal to the number of Substitute Loans added
to the Loan Pool.

     (f) The Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts
reasonably requested by the

59

 

Servicer in order to effect the transfer and
release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being
substituted.

     Section 2.05. Release of Released Amounts.

     (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Issuer has no
interest in the Retained Interest and Released Amounts. The Indenture Trustee
hereby agrees to release to the Issuer from the Loan Assets, and the Issuer
hereby agrees to release to the Trust Depositor, an amount equal to the
Released Amounts immediately upon identification thereof and upon receipt of an
Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, which release shall be automatic and
shall require no further act by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer;
provided, that, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment or other
documents, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be
requested by the Trust Depositor in writing. Such Released Amounts shall not
constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets.

     (b) Immediately upon the release to the Trust Depositor by the Indenture
Trustee of the Released Amounts, the Trust Depositor hereby irrevocably agrees
to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be
automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust Depositor;
provided, that, the Trust Depositor shall execute and deliver
such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirming the
foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by
the Originator.

     Section 2.06. Delivery of Documents in the Loan File; Recording of
Assignments of Mortgage.

     (a) Subject to the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.06(b), the
Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator and the Trust Depositor to
deliver possession of all the Loan Files to the Indenture Trustee (with copies
to be held by the Servicer) on behalf of and for the account of the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Originator and the Trust
Depositor shall also identify on the List of Loans (including any deemed
amendment thereof associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by attached
schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that
are or are evidenced by such instruments.

     (b) With respect to each Loan in the Loan Pool on or before the related
Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, to the extent not previously delivered, each of the
documents in the Loan File with respect to such Loan, except that (i) the
original recorded Mortgage, in those instances where a copy thereof certified
by a Responsible Officer of the Originator was delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days
after receipt thereof, and in any event within one year after the related
Transfer Date, and (ii) any intervening Assignments of Mortgage, in those
instances where copies thereof certified by the Originator were delivered to
the Indenture Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten
Business Days after the receipt thereof, and in any event, within one year of
the related Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing in clauses (i)
and (ii) of this Section 2.06(b), in those instances where the
public recording office retains the original Mortgage or the intervening
Assignments of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Trust Depositor
shall be deemed to have satisfied

60

 

its obligations hereunder upon delivery to
the Indenture Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage or Assignments of Mortgage
certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded
original thereof.

     (c) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default,
the Indenture Trustee shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered
pursuant to Section 2.06(b). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be recorded in the
appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it. Each such
recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided,
however, to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expense then the
Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.05.

     Section 2.07. Optional Purchase by the Servicer of Certain Loans;
Limitations on Substitution and Repurchase.

     (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.07(b), the
Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any (i)
Prepaid Loan, (ii) Charged–Off Loan, (iii) Delinquent Loan, (iv) Loan that has
a material covenant default, (v) Loan which has become subject to a Material
Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the definition
thereof, or (vi) Loan that has become subject to a Specified Amendment. In the
event of such a purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account, on the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to
the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Loan (or applicable portion thereof) as of
the date of such purchase. The Servicer, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or
other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in
order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in
the Loans that are being purchased.

     (b) In no event may the initial aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of (i)
Prepaid Loans, (ii) Charged–Off Loans, (iii) Delinquent Loans, (iv) Loans that
have a material covenant default, and (v) Loans which have become subject to a
Material Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the
definition thereof (without regard to whether such Material Modification may
otherwise constitute a Material Modification of a type specified in clause
(i) of the definition thereof), purchased pursuant to Section
2.07(a) or substituted pursuant to Section 2.04, exceed an amount
equal to 20% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.

     Section 2.08. Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan
Files.

     (a) On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall review the portion of the Loan File required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.06(b) on the applicable Transfer Date and shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1 on or prior to
such Transfer Date. Within two Business Days after the Indenture Trustee
receives the portion of the Loan File permitted to be delivered after the
applicable Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge
Counterparty and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L–1. Within 360 days after each Transfer Date (or, with respect
to any Substitute Loan, within 360 days after the assignment thereof), the
Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer, the

61

 

Trust
Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and any Noteholder who requests a copy from
the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L–2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect
to the Loans being transferred on such Transfer Date.

     (b) If the Indenture Trustee during the process of reviewing the Loan
Files finds any document constituting a part of a Loan File which is not
properly executed, has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in
the List of Loans, or does not conform in a material respect to the
requirements of the definition of Loan File, or the description thereof as set
forth in the List of Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly so notify the
Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer. In performing any such
review, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the
purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Indenture Trustee’s review of the Loan Files
is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in the definition of
Loan File have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in
the List of Loans; provided, however, with respect to the UCC
financing statements referenced in clause (a)(iii) of the definition of
Required Loan Documents, the Indenture Trustee’s sole responsibility will be to
confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing statements and not to make
determinations about the materiality of such UCC financing statements. The
Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a
document constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified by the
Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s
notice to it respecting such material defect the
Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such Loan will be treated as
an “Ineligible Loan” and the Originator will (i) substitute in lieu of such
Loan a Substitute Loan in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 11.01 or (ii) repurchase such Loan at a purchase price equal to
the Transfer Deposit Amount, which purchase price shall be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account within such 30 day period.

     (c) Release of Entire Loan File Upon Substitution or Repurchase.
Subject to Section 5.08(a), upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a
certification of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of
such purchase and the deposit of the amounts described in Section 2.07
or Section 2.08(b) in the Principal and Interest Account (which
certification shall be in the form of Exhibit M hereto), the Indenture
Trustee shall release to the Servicer for release to the Originator the related
Loan File and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to transfer all
right, title and interest in such Loan to the Originator free and clear of any
Liens created by the Transaction Documents. All costs of any such transfer
shall be borne by the Originator.

     (d) Partial Release of Loan File and/or Collateral. Subject to
Section 5.08(b), if in connection with taking any action in connection
with a Loan (including, without limitation, the amendment to documents in the
Loan File and/or a revision to Collateral) the Servicer requires any item
constituting part of the Loan File, or the release from the Lien of the related
Loan of all or part of any Collateral, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee a certificate to such effect in the form attached as
Exhibit M hereto. Subject to Section 5.08(d), upon receipt of
such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer within
two 2 Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m.,
central time), the requested documentation, and the Indenture Trustee shall
execute, without recourse, and deliver such

62

 

instruments of transfer necessary
to release all or the requested part of the Collateral from the Lien of the
related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction Documents.

     (e) Annual Certification. On the Remittance Date in October of
each year, commencing October, 2005, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the
Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a
certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which
the Indenture Trustee holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during
the prior calendar year. Such certification shall list all Loan Files which
were released by or returned to the Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar
year, the date of such release or return and the reason for such release or
return.

 ARTICLE 3. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Trust Depositor makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase
Agreement is deemed to make, the following representations and warranties in
Section 3.01 through Section 3.05, on which the Issuer will rely
in purchasing the Loan Assets on the
Closing Date (and on any Subsequent Transfer Date), and on which the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties will rely.

     Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer
Date, as applicable), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of
the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation or substitution
obligation of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes
the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Trust Depositor set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.05 of
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(d)(vii),
the Trust Depositor shall not be deemed to be remaking any of the
representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a Subsequent Transfer Date
with respect to the Substitute Loans, as such representations relate solely to
the composition of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date.

     Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Trust
Depositor.

     By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
the Trust Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties that:

     (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Trust Depositor is a
limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of Delaware and has the power to own its assets and to transact
the business in which it is currently engaged. The Trust Depositor is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or
properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the
failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust
Depositor or the Issuer.

63

 

     (b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Trust
Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and
all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Issuer and
cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has
taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Issuer to be created. This
Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, shall effect a valid
sale, transfer and assignment of or grant a security interest in the Loan
Assets from the Trust Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against the Trust
Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a
party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Depositor
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms
may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity,
whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

     (c) No Consent Required. The Trust Depositor is not required to
obtain the consent of any other party (other than those that it has already
obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than those
that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the
Trust Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Trust
Depositor, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach
of the Trust Depositor’s organizational documents or Contractual Obligations to
which the Trust Depositor is a party or by which the Trust Depositor or any of
the Trust Depositor’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the
terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.

     (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or
before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
knowledge of the Trust Depositor threatened, against the Trust Depositor or any
of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party or the Securities (i) that, if adversely
determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Trust Depositor be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust Depositor or the Issuer or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect the

     (f) Solvency. The Trust Depositor, at the time of and after giving
effect to each conveyance of Loan Assets hereunder, is Solvent on and as of the
date thereof.

64

 

     (g) Taxes. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all
tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put all
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made
against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges
imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than
any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on
the books of the Trust Depositor); no tax Lien has been filed and, to the Trust
Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.

     (h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Trust Depositor’s location
(within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section
13.04. The Trust Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment
of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not
changed its location within the 4-months preceding the Closing Date.

     (i) Not an Investment Company. The Trust Depositor is not and,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, will not be required to be registered as an “investment company”
under the 1940 Act.

     (j) Sale Treatment. Other than for tax and accounting purposes,
the Trust Depositor has treated the transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust
Depositor for all purposes as a sale and purchase on all of its relevant books
and records and other applicable documents.

     (k) Security Interest.

     (i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest
(as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Loan Assets in favor of the
Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (except for
Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and
purchasers from the Trust Depositor;

     (ii) the Loans, along with the related Loan Files, constitute either
a “general intangible,” an “instrument,” an “account,” “investment
property,” or “chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;

     (iii) the Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loan
Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or
encumbrance of any Person;

     (iv) the Trust Depositor has received all consents and approvals
required by the terms of the Loan Assets to the sale of the Loan Assets
hereunder to the Issuer;

     (v) the Trust Depositor has caused the filing of all appropriate
financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security
interest in such Loan Assets granted to the Issuer under this Agreement;

     (vi) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant
to this Agreement, the Trust Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Loan
Assets. The Trust Depositor has not

65

 

authorized the filing of and is not
aware of any financing statements against the Trust Depositor that
include a description of collateral covering such Loan Assets other than
any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to
the Trust Depositor under the Loan Sale Agreement, or (B) that has been
terminated. The Trust Depositor is not aware of the filing of any
judgment or tax Lien filings against the Trust Depositor;

     (vii) all original executed copies of each Underlying Note (if any)
that constitute or evidence the Loan Assets have been delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, and in the case of Noteless Loans, a copy of each
related Note Register, certified by a Responsible Officer of the
Originator, has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee;

     (viii) the Trust Depositor has received a written acknowledgment
from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee or its bailee is
holding any Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any Loan Assets
solely on behalf of and for the benefit of the Securityholders and the
Hedge Counterparties; and

     (ix) none of the Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any
Loan Assets has any marks or notations indicating that they have been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Issuer.

     (l) Value Given. The cash payments received by the Trust Depositor
in respect of the purchase price of each Loan sold hereunder constitutes the
face value of such Loan and the reasonably equivalent value in consideration
for the transfer to the Issuer of such Loan under this Agreement, such transfer
was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Originator to
the Trust Depositor, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject
to avoidance under any Insolvency Law.

required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the
1940 Act.

     (n) No Defaults. The Trust Depositor is not in default with
respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might
have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition
(financial or otherwise) or operations of the Trust Depositor or its respective
properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely
affect its performance hereunder.

     (o) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of
the Loans by the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to
the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction.

     (p) Origination and Collection Practices. The origination and
collection practices used with respect to each Loan have been in all material
respects legal, proper and prudent and comply with the Credit and Collection
Policy.

     (q) Adequacy of Consideration. The Trust Depositor will receive
fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the sale of
the Loans.

66

 

     (r) Lack of Intent to Hinder, Delay or Defraud. Neither the Trust
Depositor nor any of its Affiliates sold, or will sell, any interest in any
Loan with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of their respective
creditors.

     (s) Nonconsolidation. The Trust Depositor conducts its affairs
such that the Issuer would not be substantively consolidated in the estate of
the Trust Depositor and their respective separate existences would not be
disregarded in the event of the Trust Depositor’s bankruptcy.

     (t) Accuracy of Information. All written factual information
heretofore furnished by the Trust Depositor for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Trust Depositor
is a party, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such
written factual information hereafter furnished by the Trust Depositor to any
such party will be, true and accurate in every material respect, on the date
such information is stated or certified.

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(k) may not
be waived by any Person and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Trust Depositor and Issuer (i) shall not, without satisfaction of the S&P
Rating Condition with respect thereto, waive any breach of the representations
and warranties in Section 3.01(k), and (ii) shall provide S&P with
prompt written notice of any breach of the representations and warranties set
out in Section 3.01(k).

     Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Loan and
as to Certain Loans in the Aggregate.

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants (x) with respect to Section
3.02(a), Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(d) and Section
3.02(e) as to each Loan as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and on the Closing Date, and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect
to each Substitute Loan, and (y) with respect to Section 3.02(c), as to
the Loan Pool in the aggregate as of the Initial Cut–Off Date, and as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to Substitute Loans (after giving effect
to the addition of such Substitute Loans to the Loan Pool), that:

     (a) List of Loans. The information set forth in the List of Loans
attached hereto as Exhibit G (as the same may be amended or deemed
amended in respect of a conveyance of Substitute Loans on a Subsequent Transfer
Date) is true, complete and correct as of the applicable Cut–Off Date.

     (b) Eligible Loan. Such Loan satisfies the criteria for the
definition of Eligible Loan set forth in this Agreement as of the date of its
conveyance hereunder.

     (c) Loans Secured by Real Property. Less than 40% of the Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off Date
consists of Loans principally secured by real property, and the Trust Depositor
will not effectuate the transfer of a Substitute Loan if such transfer would
cause more than 40% of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool
as of any Subsequent Transfer Date to consist of Loans principally secured by
real property.

67

 

     (d) Underlying Custodial Agreements. With respect to each Pooled
Obligor Loan, the underlying loan documents and other collateral pledged by the
Underlying Debtors is held by an Underlying Custodian for the benefit of the
Originator and its assignees. The Originator’s rights under each such
Underlying Custodial Agreement are fully assignable and have been assigned by
it to the Trust Depositor, and assigned by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer in
connection with the transfer of the Loan Assets.

     Section 3.03. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Initial
Loans in the Aggregate.

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, that as
of the Initial Cut–Off Date, the Initial Loans have the following additional
characteristics: (i) no Loan has a remaining maturity of more than 71 months;
(ii) the date of the final Scheduled Payment on the Loan with the latest
maturity is not later than August 20, 2010; (iii) no Loan was originated after
the Initial Cut–Off Date; and (iv) none of the Initial Loans provide for
Scheduled Payments of interest due on a basis other than monthly or quarterly.

     Section 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan
Files. 

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date with
respect to the Initial Loans (or as of the Subsequent Transfer Date, with
respect to Substitute Loans), that (i) to the extent any such Loans were
pledged under the CP Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding
III Transaction or the CP Acquisition Transaction, immediately prior to such
date (as applicable), the Originator and/or a collateral custodian under the CP
Funding Transaction, the Citi Warehouse, the CP Funding III Transaction or the
CP Acquisition Transaction had possession of each original Underlying Note
(except in the case of Noteless Loans) and the related complete Loan File, and
there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect and
(ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, the complete Loan
File for each Loan is in the possession of the Indenture Trustee.

     Section 3.05. Representations and Warranties Regarding Concentrations
of Initial Loans. 

     The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date, as to the
composition of the Initial Loans in the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off
Date, that:

     (a) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that are in the
same industry (by NAICS Code) shall not exceed 18.9% of the Initial Aggregate
Outstanding Loan Balance;

     (b) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of the six (6) largest

primary business in the same State of the United States shall not exceed 12.8%
of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.

Servicer. 

68

 

     The Servicer represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties that:

liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the limited liability
company power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is
currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by
it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer. The Servicer
is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of
such jurisdiction to service the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and
in which the failure to
so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or
Issuer.

     (b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the power
and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party.
This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a
party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms
may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether
considered in a suit at law or in equity.

     (c) No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to obtain
the consent of any other party (other than those that it has already obtained)
or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or
declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than those that it has
already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the Servicer is a party.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party
by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the
Servicer, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach of
the Servicer’s organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations to which
the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s
properties may be bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any Lien
of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

     (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or
before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its
properties or with respect to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document
to which the Servicer is a party that, if adversely determined, would

69

 

in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a
party.

     (f) Reports. All reports, certificates and other written
information furnished by the Servicer with respect to the Loans are correct in
all material respects.

     Section 3.07. Representations and Warranties of the Backup
Servicer. 

     The Backup Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, as
follows:

     (a) Organization. It is a national banking association duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the federal laws of the
United States with all requisite power and authority to own its properties and
to conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

     (b) Good Standing. The Backup Servicer is duly qualified to do
business as a national banking association and is in good standing, and has
obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which
the ownership or lease of its property and the conduct of its business requires
such qualification, licenses or approvals, except where the failure to so
qualify or have such licenses or approvals has not had, and would not be
reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.

     (c) Authorization. It has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms. It has duly authorized the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by all requisite action.

     (d) No Violations. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by, and the fulfillment of the terms of, this Agreement by it will
not violate any Requirements of Law or conflict with, result in any breach of
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, its
organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations by which it or any of
its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any Contractual Obligations.

     (e) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its respective
properties is required to be obtained in order for it to enter into this
Agreement or perform its obligations hereunder.

     (f) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes its legal,
valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except

principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

70

 

     (g) Litigation. There are no proceedings or investigations pending
or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened, against it before any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might (in its
reasonable judgment) have a material adverse effect on the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.

ARTICLE 4. 

PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND

PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS

     Section 4.01. Custody of Loans. 

     The contents of each Loan File shall be held in the custody of the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture for the benefit of, and as agent for, the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     Section 4.02. Filing. 

     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer shall cause the UCC financing statement(s) referred to in Section
2.02(i) hereof to be filed, and from time to time the Servicer shall take
and cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary
or desirable or as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee (acting at the
direction of the Majority Noteholders or any Hedge Counterparty) may reasonably
request to perfect and protect the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected
security interest in the Loan Assets against all other Persons, including,
without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and
continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making
of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title.
Notwithstanding the obligations of the Originator, Trust Depositor and Servicer
set forth in the preceding sentence, the Originator, Trust Depositor and
Servicer hereby authorize the Owner Trustee to prepare and file, at the expense
of the Servicer, UCC financing statements (including but not limited to
renewal, continuation or in lieu statements) and amendments or supplements
thereto or other instruments as the Owner Trustee may from time to time deem
necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interest
granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC.

     Section 4.03. Changes in Name, Corporate Structure or Location. 

     (a) During the term of this Agreement, none of the Originator, the
Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Issuer shall change its name, identity,
structure, existence, state of formation or location without first giving at
least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
and each Hedge Counterparty.

     (b) If any change in either the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust
Depositor’s name, identity, structure, existence, state of formation, location
or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of
ownership interest or Lien relating to any Loan Asset seriously misleading
within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute,
the Servicer, no later than five Business Days after the effective date of such
change,

71

 

shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect
the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Loan Assets and the proceeds
thereof. Promptly after taking any of the foregoing actions, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements or
amendments necessary to preserve and protect the Indenture Trustee’s security
interest in the Loan Assets have been filed, and reciting the details of such
filing.

     Section 4.04. Costs and Expenses. 

     The Servicer agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in
connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against
all third parties, of the Trustees’ and
Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the Loan Assets (including,
without limitation, the security interest in the Collateral related thereto and
the security interests provided for in the Indenture); provided,
however, to the extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents, the
Servicer may seek reimbursement for such costs and disbursements from the
related Obligors.

     Section 4.05. Sale Treatment. 

     Other than for tax and accounting purposes, the Trust Depositor shall
treat the transfer of Loan Assets made hereunder for all purposes as a sale and
purchase on all of its relevant books and records.

     The Originator agrees to take or refrain from taking or engaging in with
respect to the Trust Depositor each of the actions or activities specified in
the “substantive consolidation” opinion of Patton Boggs LLP (including any
certificates of the Originator attached thereto) delivered on the Closing Date,
upon which the conclusions therein are based.

 ARTICLE 5. 

 SERVICING OF LOANS 

     Section 5.01. Appointment and Acceptance. 

     CapitalSource is hereby appointed as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
CapitalSource accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 5.02. Duties of the Servicer. 

     (a) The Servicer, as an independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to
do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration
which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may
enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of
Loans with any entity provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of

72

 

such Subservicing Agreement and to
either itself directly service the related Loans or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

     (b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and
a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise,
so long as this Agreement shall remain effective, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, for the servicing
and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on Loans when any Subservicer has received such payments. The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

     (c) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a Subservicer in its
capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee, the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties shall not be deemed parties
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 5.02(d).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall (i) at its expense and
without reimbursement, deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each
Subservicing Agreement and (ii) provide notice of the termination of any
Subservicer within a reasonable time after such Subservicer’s termination to
the Indenture Trustee.

     (d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer, the Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement
therefor, shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the
Successor Servicer all documents and records (including computer tapes and
diskettes) relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Loans then being
serviced hereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it
hereunder and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

     (e) Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans.

     (i) So long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Loan if in
the Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification or variance will
not be materially adverse to the interests of the Noteholders or the
Hedge Counterparties; provided, however, the Servicer may
not:

     (A) amend, waive, modify or vary any Loan in any manner that
would extend the stated maturity date of such Loan beyond August
20, 2013; or

73

 

     (B) enter into any amendment, waiver, modification or variance
with respect to any loan for the purpose or with the intention of
causing a Substitution Event to occur with respect to such Loan
solely in order to render such loan eligible for repurchase or
substitution hereunder or to otherwise make such Loan eligible for
repurchase pursuant to Section 2.07.

If any Loan is amended, modified, waived or varied due to an Obligor’s
inability to pay principal (excluding payments of principal consisting of
excess cash flow sweeps) or interest, then the Loan shall be treated as a
Delinquent Loan as of the date that is one day in case of Asset Based
Revolvers or 60 days in the case of all other Loans after such
delinquent payment was first due if all delinquencies have not been cured
within that one day or 60 day period, as applicable.

     (ii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.02(e)(i), the
Servicer may execute any amendments, waivers, modifications or variances
related to such Loan and any documents related thereto on behalf of the
Issuer. The Servicer will provide (x) Moody’s and Fitch with a written
summary of any such amendment, waiver, modification or variance and (y)
S&P with a written summary of any Specified Amendment, in each case
promptly after its execution and, promptly upon request by any Rating
Agency, a copy of any such waiver, modification or variance. Such
summary shall set forth a brief description of the reasons for, and the
effect of, such waiver, modification or variance, and shall indicate
whether such waiver, modification or variance constitutes a Specified
Amendment.

     (iii) With respect to each of the modifications described in
clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iv)-(vii) and clause
(b) of the definition of Specified Amendment, the Servicer may elect
to submit the modified (or overadvanced, as applicable) Loan to S&P to be
re-rated. If the Servicer does not elect to have such Loan re-rated by
S&P, then such Loan shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan as of the
date that is 60 days after the effective date of the relevant Specified
Amendment. Any Loan which is subject to a modification described in
clause (a)(iii) of the definition of Specified Amendment will be deemed
to be a Delinquent Loan upon the effectiveness of such Specified
Amendment. If the Servicer elects to have such Loan re-rated by S&P,
then at any time during such process, including up to 90 days after
Servicer receives the revised rating of the Loan, the Servicer may
repurchase such Loan. The provisions of this Section 5.02(e)(iii)
shall not apply to modifications, amendments or variances that do not
constitute Specified Amendments.

     (iv) No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect
of Servicing Advances shall for the purposes of distributions to
Noteholders or Hedge Counterparties be added to the amount owing under
the related Loan. Any fees and costs imposed in connection therewith may
be retained by the Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, so long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection
Policy, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty, all
instruments of amendment, waiver, satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Loans and with respect to any Collateral. Such
authority shall include,

74

 

but not be limited to, the authority to
substitute or release items of Collateral consistent with the Credit and
Collection Policy and sell participations or assignments in Loans
previously transferred to the Issuer. In connection with any such sale,
the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account,
pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds received upon such sale.
If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf
of the Issuer, shall furnish the Servicer, within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of the Servicer’s request, with any powers of attorney and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Any
such request to the Indenture Trustee,
on behalf of the Issuer, shall be accompanied by a certification in
the form of Exhibit L attached hereto signed by a Servicing
Officer. In connection with any substitution of Collateral, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee the items, and within the time
frame, set forth in Section 2.06, assuming that the date of
substitution is the relevant “Transfer Date.”

     (f) The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Loans, shall act in
good faith, exercise commercially reasonable judgment and reasonable care,
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, employ or cause to be
employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, Foreclosed Property and
Repossessed Collateral management procedures), prudent lending standards and
exercise a degree of skill and attention not less than that which it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering loans for its
own account and in a manner consistent with those policies and procedures as
are customarily used by reasonable and prudent servicers of national repute in
connection with servicing of assets of the nature and of the character of the
Loans, giving due consideration to the Noteholders’ and Hedge Counterparties’
reliance on the Servicer. The Servicer shall not permit an Obligor of a
Revolving Loan to receive an Overadvance thereunder for the purpose of making
payments of principal or interest (in whole or in part) due with respect to a
Term Loan, where any portion of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as
applicable, shall constitute a part of the Loan Assets hereunder or an asset of
any Prior Term Transaction.

     (g) Hedge Covenants.

     (i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan Balance of
the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than
the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the projected
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the
corresponding Due Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted
Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties

75

 

and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Fixed Rate Loans
will be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge
Agreements so that the Aggregate Notional Amount for each calculation period of
the Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will not exceed the
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the
corresponding Due Period.

     (ii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging
the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan
Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due
Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess
Amount; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation
period of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the
projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans
for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime
Rate Permitted Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate
Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap
transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will not exceed the
Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans at the end of the
corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the
corresponding Due Period.

     (iii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date
either:

     (A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge
Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions) under
all Hedge Agreements then in effect exceeds the then Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance; or

     (B) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) for any future
calculation period under all Hedge Agreements then in effect
exceeds the projected Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance for
the corresponding Interest Accrual Period;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date
preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and
with effect on such next Remittance Date one or more of the Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) will be reduced or

76

 

amended in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the
Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions for any future calculation
period will not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes
for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period.

     (h) In accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the
Servicer shall perform the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the
Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer
deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee
under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall monitor the performance of
the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action
is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s or the Owner Trustee’s duties under
the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall prepare for execution by the
Owner Trustee or the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate
Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and
opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare,
file or deliver pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

     (i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement
or any of the Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall perform such
calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee
or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such
documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall
be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to state and
federal tax and securities laws. In accordance with the directions of the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee, the Servicer shall administer, perform or
supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the
Issuer as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are
expressly requested by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee and are reasonably
within the capability of the Servicer.

     (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall be responsible for promptly (upon
knowledge thereof) notifying the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent in the
event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or
allocations of income) to a Securityholder. Any such notice shall be in
writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld
by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to such provision.

     (k) All tax returns will be signed by the Servicer on behalf of the
Issuer.

     (l) The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed under this Agreement, which books of account and
records shall be reasonably accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee and
each Hedge Counterparty at any time during normal business hours.

     (m) Without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders and the
Hedge Counterparties and subject to the satisfaction of the S&P Rating
Condition and the Moody’s Rating Condition, the Servicer shall not agree or
consent to, or otherwise permit to occur, any amendment, modification, change,
supplement or rescission of or to the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or
in part, in any manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Loans.

77

 

     (n) For so long as any of the Notes are outstanding and are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (i) the
Servicer will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Notes and
any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such holder, upon the request
of such a holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be
provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act; and (ii) the Servicer shall update such information from time
to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading
and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe
harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of
such Notes conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.

     (o) The Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchise as a Delaware limited liability company, and the Servicer shall
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited
liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and
of any of the Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

     (p) The Servicer shall be obligated to make the Servicing Advances (but
not Scheduled Payment Advances) incurred in the performance of its servicing
duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
Servicing Advances from the Collections received from the Loan to which such
Servicing Advances relate pursuant to Section 5.10(d) and Section
7.03(h). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the application of Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances
prevent a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or Charged–Off Loan, as
applicable.

     (q) The Servicer shall not be responsible for any taxes on the Issuer or
any Servicing Fees to any Successor Servicer.

     (r) All payments (other than Prepayments) received on Loans will be
applied by the Servicer to amounts due by the Obligor starting with the most
recent Scheduled Payment.

     (s) The Servicer shall be responsible for any tax reporting, disclosure,
record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under Internal
Revenue Code Sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not limited to,
the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to Federal Income Tax Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any required list
maintenance under Federal Income Tax Regulations Section 301.6112-1 or any
successor provision.

     (t) The Servicer shall notify the Backup Servicer of any material
modification to its servicing system.

     (u) The initial Servicer shall provide to S&P financial statements for
each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool, within 13 months after the
Closing Date and every thirteen months thereafter, until such time as the
related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool. Any
failure by the initial Servicer to provide financial statements with respect to
any Obligor at such times shall result in each Loan to the applicable Obligor
being deemed to have an S&P rating of CCC-.

78

 

     (v) The initial Servicer shall provide to Moody’s annual financial
statements for each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool as promptly as
reasonably practicable after such financial statements are delivered to the
Servicer after the end of each Obligor’s fiscal year, until such time as the
related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool.

     Section 5.03. Liquidation of Loans. 

     (a) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed
pursuant to Section 5.02 is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Loan, the Servicer in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy shall take such action as shall maximize the amount of
recovery thereon and it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer, consistent with its
Credit and Collection Policy, may accelerate all payments due thereunder to the
extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents and foreclose upon at a public
or private sale or otherwise comparably effect the ownership of Collateral
relating to defaulted Loans for which the related Loan is still outstanding and
as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10
and shall act as sales and processing agent for the Collateral that is
repossessed. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion and any
other liquidation action or enforcement of remedies, the Servicer shall
exercise collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and
skill in its exercise or use as it would exercise with respect to its own
affairs, in accordance with prudent servicing standards, and in accordance with
the Credit and Collection Policy. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer may not sell any such Collateral without first using
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids to purchase such Collateral from
at least three (3) Persons (other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates).
The Servicer may sell the Collateral to the highest bidder (if any bids are
received) or the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a
price equal to the highest bid, but in no event may the Servicer sell any
Collateral for less than the then fair market value of the Collateral. If no
bids are received and the Servicer has used commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such bids, the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for
a price equal to the then fair market value of such Collateral. Any such sale
of the Collateral is to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee setting forth the Loan, the
Collateral, the sale price of the Collateral and certifying that such sale
price is the fair market value of such Collateral. In any case in which any
such Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in
connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Collateral unless
it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the
Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

     (b) Prior to undertaking foreclosure of any Loan secured by real property
and any improvements thereon including any Mortgaged Property of a Material
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer must investigate environmental conditions,
including, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, the performance
of a Phase I and/or Phase II environmental site assessment, to ascertain the
actual or potential presence of any hazardous material on or under such
property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term hazardous material includes
(1) any hazardous substance, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of

79

 

1986, 42 U.S.C. 9601–9675, and (2)
petroleum (as that term is defined at 42 U.S.C. §6991) including any
derivative, fraction, by–product, constituent or breakdown product thereof, or
additive thereto. In the event that the environmental investigation determines
the existence of any hazardous material on or under the real property in excess
of minimum action levels established by relevant regulatory agencies, title to
such property shall not be taken without satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition.

     (c) After a Loan has been liquidated, the Servicer shall promptly prepare
and forward to the Indenture Trustee and upon request, any Securityholder or
Hedge Counterparty, a report (the “Liquidation Report”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D, detailing the Liquidation Proceeds
received from such Loan, the Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect
thereto, and any loss incurred in connection therewith.

     Section 5.04. Fidelity Bond. 

     The Servicer shall at all times maintain with a responsible company, and
at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) in a
minimum aggregate amount equal to $2,000,000, and a maximum deductible of
$50,000, with coverage on all employees acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans or
the Collateral (“Servicer Employees”). The Fidelity Bond shall provide
coverage to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties
and the Securityholders, their respective officers and employees, against
losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement or fraud by such Servicer
Employees. The Fidelity Bond shall not relieve the Servicer from its duties or
indemnity obligations as set forth in this Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon
the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or
any Hedge Counterparty, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or such Hedge
Counterparty a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond.

     Section 5.05. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. 

     (a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each
Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any tangible, personal
property Collateral (other than accounts receivable) in an amount at least
equal to the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Eligible Loan
and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss
payee and as an insured thereunder and all of the Originator’s right, title and
interest therein is fully assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Additionally,
other than with respect to unsecured Loans and Loans in which the sole
collateral is the related Obligor’s accounts receivable, the Servicer will
require that each Obligor maintain property damage liability insurance during
the term of each Loan in amounts and against risks customarily insured against
by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor fails to maintain
property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and
maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor. In
connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such
liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each
case, consistent with the terms of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance
Policies with respect to the Collateral will insure against liability

80

 

for
physical damage relating to such Collateral in accordance with the requirements
of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all
right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds
with respect to any Collateral, including any Insurance Policy with respect to
which it is named as loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no
equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance Polices and Insurance
Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The Servicer
acknowledges
that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds thereof
that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Indenture Trustee.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.05(a), in the case of each Material
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall comply with the Credit and Collection Policy
concerning the issuance and maintenance of fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located. If at origination of a Loan, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge
after reasonable investigation, the related Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer will require the
related Obligor or other creditors to purchase a flood insurance policy
covering each piece of property that is material with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least
of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property that is material, or
(ii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain, to the
extent such insurance is available, and required by the Credit and Collection
Policy, on Foreclosed Property constituting real property that is material,
fire and hazard insurance in the amounts described above and liability
insurance.

     (c) Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such Insurance
Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
Collateral, or to be released to the Obligor or other creditors in accordance
with Requirements of Law or the governing documents) shall be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
7.03(h). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Obligor or other
creditors or maintained on Foreclosed Property, other than pursuant to such
Requirements of Law and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder
(unless the Seller is a non–agent co–lender with respect to such Loan) shall be
endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with losses payable to the Servicer or
its Affiliates.

     Section 5.06. Collection of Certain Loan Payments. 

     (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit
and Collection Policy, to collect all payments required under the terms and
provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing and the Credit and
Collection Policy, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be
waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain
hereunder as servicing compensation and extend the due date for payments due on
a Loan as provided in Section 5.02(e).

     (b) The Servicer agrees not to make, or permit to be made, any change, in
the direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made by
an Obligor Lock–Box

81

 

Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely
effect the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank without the
prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent of the
Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer further agrees
to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later than one
Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt, any notice it receives that an
Obligor is changing the direction of or
instructions with respect to any payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any
Obligor Lock–Box Account.

     Section 5.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Loans. 

     The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the FDIC, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision and
the supervisory agents and examiners of the foregoing, access to the
documentation regarding the Loans required by applicable local, state and
federal regulations, such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. The
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall and shall cause their
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 and the Owner Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with their obligations hereunder.

     Section 5.08. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Collateral and Release of
Loan Files. 

     (a) Upon the payment in full of any Loan, the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes or the deposit into the Principal and Interest Account of the
purchase price of any Loan acquired by the Trust Depositor, the Servicer or
another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document,
the Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification
in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received
in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 7.03(b) have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it
of the Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with Section 2.08(c) release,
within two (2) Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central
time), the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable by
the Servicer and shall not be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account
or the Note Distribution Account provided; that the Servicer may collect
and retain such expenses from the underlying Obligor.

     (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a certification in the form of Exhibit
M attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Loan
File to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days (if such request was received
by

82

 

2:00 p.m. central time), and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
The Servicer shall return the Loan File to the Indenture Trustee when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated
and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have
been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Distribution Account or the Loan File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or
pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure or repossession
of Collateral either judicially or non–judicially, and the Servicer has
delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to whom such Loan File or
such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was
liquidated, the servicing receipt relating to such Loan shall be released by
the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents provided to it
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of Collateral or to
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the related
loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing
Collateral) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other
remedies or rights provided by the related loan agreement (including any
Underlying Note or other agreement securing Collateral) or otherwise available
at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture
Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee
will not invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement
securing Collateral, except for the termination of such a Lien upon completion
of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document
provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action
requested in such request, that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced
by such request, required or appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction to
discharge the Lien securing Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the
Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any
such documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer may direct,
within five (5) Business Days of the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such
certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the
Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction that the related Loan has been paid in full by
or on behalf of the Obligor (or subject to a deficiency claim against such
Obligor) and that such payment has been deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.08 to the
contrary, in no event may the Servicer possess in excess of fifteen (15) Loan
Files (excluding Loan Files for Loans which have been paid in full or
repurchased) at any given time.

     Section 5.09. Scheduled Payment Advances. 

     For each Due Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment
(or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan in the Loan
Pool during such Due Period was not received prior to the end of such Due
Period or has been received in an Obligor Lock–Box Account but has not yet been
transferred to the Lock–

83

 

Box Account, the Servicer has the right to elect, but
is not obligated, to make a Scheduled Payment Advance in an amount up to the
amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) if the
Servicer believes in
good faith that the advance will be reimbursed or subsequently paid by the
related Obligor. The Servicer will deposit any Scheduled Payment Advances into
the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the related Determination Date, in immediately available funds. The
Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Scheduled Payment Advances
pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b).

     Section 5.10. Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosed
Property. 

     (a) In the event that title to Collateral is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure or by other legal process, the deed or certificate
of sale, or the Repossessed Collateral, shall be taken in the name of the
Issuer for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     (b) The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 5,
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosed Property or other
Repossessed Collateral for the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties
solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
manage, conserve, protect and operate the Foreclosed Property or other
Repossessed Collateral in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects
and operates other foreclosed or repossessed property for its own account, and
in a similar manner to that of similar property in the same locality as the
Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral is managed. The Servicer
shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such
terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

     (c) The Servicer shall cause to be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account, no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt thereof, all
revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the
related Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral net of Servicing
Advances.

     (d) The Servicer shall, subject to Section 5.02(p) and Section
7.03, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
unpaid Servicing Fees, and the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account the net cash proceeds of the sale of any Foreclosed Property
or other Repossessed Collateral to be distributed to the Securityholders and
the Hedge Counterparties in accordance with Section 7.05 hereof.

     Section 5.11. Servicing Compensation. 

     (a) As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and
reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a
servicing fee for each month (or portion thereof), calculated and payable
monthly in arrears on each Remittance Date prior to the termination of the
Issuer (with respect to each Due Period, the “Servicing Fee”) equal to
the sum of the product of: (i) the applicable Servicing Fee Percentage, (ii)
the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Asset Based Revolvers and the Outstanding
Loan Balance of all other Loans, as

applicable, as of the first day of the
applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due Period, as of the
Closing Date) and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
number of days in the applicable Due Period (or, with respect to the first Due
Period, the number of days
from the Closing Date to the end of the first Due Period) and the
denominator of which is 360. The Servicing Fee is payable out of Collections
pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b). If the Servicer
is replaced, the Originator shall be responsible for the payment of any fee
payable to a Successor Servicer in excess of the Servicer Fee to the extent
such fee is not paid pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section
7.05(b).

     (b) In addition to the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain for itself as additional servicing compensation assumption and other
administrative fees paid or payable in connection with any Loan.

     Section 5.12. Assignment; Resignation. 

     The Servicer shall not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement
(other than in connection with a subservicing arrangement) nor resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer except (a) by mutual
consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Majority Noteholders and
the Hedge Counterparties, (b) in connection with a merger, conversion or
consolidation permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the
Person resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation shall be the
successor of the Servicer), (c) in connection with an assignment permitted
pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Assignee shall be the
successor of the Servicer), or (d) upon the Servicer’s determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Requirements of Law or
administrative determination and such incapacity cannot be cured by the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the
Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor has
assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance
with Section 8.03.

     Section 5.13. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. 

     (a) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any Person resulting from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Servicer is a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the
business of the Servicer, and who shall be an established commercial loan
servicing institution that on a consolidated basis has a net worth of at least
$50,000,000, shall be the Successor Servicer hereunder without execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; provided,
however, no such merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or
transfer of all or substantially all or the Servicer assets or business shall
be permitted hereunder unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect thereto.

consolidation of the Originator or transfer of substantially all of its assets
and its business), the Servicer shall (i) provide the Trust Depositor, the
Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies with notice
of such change-in-control within thirty (30) days after

85

 

completion of the same,
and (ii) satisfy the Rating Agency Condition after completion of the same.

     Section 5.14. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. 

     The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer
may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes
to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities or
persons respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of
Section 12.01 herein, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear
with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental
to the Servicer’s duty to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
The Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of any taxes imposed on
or with respect to the Issuer or for the fees of any Successor Servicer

     Section 5.15. The Backup Servicer.

subordinate cash flow or real estate) (3) legal name of the related
Obligor, (4) state of Obligor’s primary business, (5) NAICS Code, (6)
type of Loan (i.e., Partially Funded Term Loan, Fully Funded Term Loan,

(B) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance. With respect to its duties
pursuant to this Section 5.15(b)(ii), the Backup Servicer shall

     (iii) Prior to the Remittance Date, the Backup Servicer shall review

following items in such Monthly Report have been accurately calculated,
if applicable, and reported: (A)

86

 

the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance,
(B) the Backup Servicing Fee, (C) the Loans
that are more than one day delinquent in the case of Asset Based
Revolvers and more than 60 days delinquent in the case of all other Loans
(other than Charged–Off Loans), (D) the Charged–Off Loans, and (E) the
Priority of Payments. The Backup Servicer shall notify the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Servicer
of any discrepancies with the Monthly Report based on such review not
later than the Business Day preceding such Remittance Date.

     (iv) If the Servicer disagrees with the report provided under
paragraph (iii) above by the Backup Servicer or if the Servicer or
any subservicer has not reconciled such discrepancy, the Backup Servicer
agrees to confer with the Servicer to resolve such disagreement on or
prior to the next succeeding Determination Date and shall settle such
discrepancy with the Servicer if possible, and notify the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating
Agencies of the resolution thereof. The Servicer hereby agrees to
cooperate at its own expense with the Backup Servicer in reconciling any
discrepancies herein. If within twenty (20) days after the delivery of
the report provided under paragraph (iii) above by the Backup
Servicer, such discrepancy is not resolved, the Backup Servicer shall
promptly notify the Servicer, Indenture Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty,
the Initial Purchasers and the Rating Agencies of the continued existence
of such discrepancy. Following receipt of such notice by the Indenture
Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers and the Rating
Agencies, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, each Hedge
Counterparty, the Initial Purchasers, the Backup Servicer and the Rating
Agencies no later than the related Remittance Date a certificate
describing the nature and amount of such discrepancies and the actions
the Servicer proposes to take with respect thereto.

     With respect to the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, in the performance of
its duties and obligations hereunder, is entitled to rely conclusively, and
shall be fully protected in so relying, on the contents of each Tape,
including, but not limited to, the completeness and accuracy thereof, provided

Servicer, under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer or the Backup Servicer,
as applicable in accordance with Section 8.03 and such applicable party
shall be deemed the Successor Servicer, subject to and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.03, as long as such named Successor Servicer is
not prohibited by any Requirements of Law from fulfilling the same, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel; provided, however, if Wells
Fargo as Backup Servicer becomes the Successor Servicer, it will not make any
Scheduled Payment Advances.

     (d) Any Person (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which
the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the
properties and assets of the Backup Servicer substantially as a whole, which
Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to
perform every obligation of the Backup Servicer hereunder, shall be the
successor to the Backup

87

 

Servicer under this Agreement without further act on
the part of any of the parties to this Agreement.

     (e) As compensation for its backup servicing activities hereunder, the
Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee from the
Servicer. The Backup Servicing Fee shall be calculated and payable monthly in
arrears on each Remittance Date. The Backup Servicer’s entitlement to receive
the Backup Servicing Fee (other than due and unpaid Backup Servicer Fees owed
through such date) shall cease on the earliest to occur of: (i) it becoming
the Successor Servicer, (ii) its removal as Backup Servicer, or (iii) the
termination of this Agreement.

     (f) The Backup Servicer may be removed with or without cause by the
Majority Noteholders by notice given in writing to the Backup Servicer. In the
event of any such removal, a replacement Backup Servicer may be appointed by
Majority Noteholders.

     (g) The Backup Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly
understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or
obligations of the Backup Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein,
shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the
performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer may act through its agents,
attorneys and custodians in performing any of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, it being understood by the parties hereto that the Backup
Servicer will be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of
such agents, attorneys or custodians acting for and on behalf of the Backup
Servicer. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or
expenses arising out of the services performed under this Agreement other than
damages or expenses that result from the negligence or willful misconduct of it
or them or the failure to perform materially in accordance with this Agreement.

     (h) Limitation on Liability. The Backup Servicer shall not be
liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or for
any errors of the Servicer contained in any Tape, certificate or other data or
document delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup
Servicer must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the
parties hereto each agree to look only to the Servicer to perform such
obligations. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be
in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction
or any delay in carrying out any of its respective duties under this Agreement
if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance
with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup
Servicer or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such
information. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in
default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any
third party, including the Servicer (other than any agent, attorney or
custodian acting on behalf of the Backup Servicer), (ii) any inaccuracy or
omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any
third party (other than any agent, attorney or custodian acting on behalf of
the Backup Servicer), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan
under Requirements of Law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation
or warranty made with respect to any Loan, or (v) the acts or omissions of any
Successor Backup Servicer.

88

 

     Section 5.16. Covenants of the Backup Servicer.

     (a) The Backup Servicer will comply in all material respects with all

     Section 6.06. Compliance with Law.

Depositor may purchase and sell (or grant Liens in respect of) assets similar

terms and conditions (with respect to liabilities and restrictions on its
activities, as well as restrictions on its interactions with the Originator or
its Affiliates, relevant to the “bankruptcy remoteness” or “substantive
consolidation” analysis relating to the Trust Depositor) substantially similar
to the terms and conditions applicable to the Trust Depositor under the
Transaction Documents so long as the Securityholders and the Hedge
Counterparties are not materially adversely affected thereby and the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Trust Depositor may assign, transfer, convey or finance
all or any portion of any Class of Notes or Certificates owned by it provided

with respect to the profits, assets or capital of the Trust Depositor or any
Person’s interest therein, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value
any of its members’ interests now or hereafter outstanding, except that, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Event of
Default would occur as a result thereof or after giving effect thereto and the
Trust Depositor would continue to be Solvent as a result thereof and after
giving effect thereto, the Trust Depositor may declare and pay distributions to
its members.

another transaction permitted by Section 6.07; nor shall it amend or
modify the provisions of its organizational documents or issue any power of

     The Trust Depositor shall:

     (a) Maintain its own deposit account or accounts, separate from those of
any Affiliate, with commercial banking institutions. The funds of the Trust

fairly among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of
such costs. To the extent that the Trust Depositor contracts or does business
with vendors or service providers when the goods and services provided are
partially for the benefit of any other Person, the costs incurred in so doing
shall be fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose benefit the goods
and services are provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of

this Agreement.

facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Trust Depositor and any director or officer or employee
or agent of the Trust Depositor shall be reimbursed by the Indenture Trustee
for any liability or expense incurred by reason of the Indenture Trustee’s

in the direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made
by an Obligor Lock–Box Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely
effect the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank or to change
the name in which an Obligor Lock–Box or Obligor Lock–Box Account is maintained
without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent
of the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Trust Depositor
further agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later
than one Business Day after the Trust Depositor’s receipt, any notice it
receives that an Obligor is changing the direction of or instructions with
respect to any payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box
Account or the name in which any Obligor Lock–Box or Obligor Lock–Box Account
is maintained.

 ARTICLE 7. 

 ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND

     Section 7.01. Note Distribution Account, Reserve Fund and
Lock–Boxes. 

     (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the Note
Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund with and in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Servicer and Indenture Trustee are hereby required to ensure that each of
the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund is established and maintained as
an Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution
with which any of the accounts established pursuant to this Section
7.01(a) are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer,
or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case may be)
shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a replacement account at a
Qualified Institution after notice of such event. In no event shall the
Indenture Trustee be responsible for monitoring whether such Eligible
Institution shall remain a Qualified Institution. Each Qualified Institution
maintaining an Eligible Deposit Account shall agree in writing to comply with
all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee or, with respect to the
Principal and Interest Account only, the Servicer directing disposition of the
funds in the Eligible Deposit Account without the further consent of the Trust
Depositor.

     (b) If the Servicer so directs (or, if the Servicer does not so direct,
the Trust Depositor has the right to direct), in writing, the Indenture Trustee
shall accept such directions as directions of the Issuer and shall invest the
amounts in the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund in Permitted
Investments of the type specified in such written direction that mature or are
withdrawable not later than the next succeeding Determination Date, except for
investments in Section (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments.
Once such funds are invested, the Indenture Trustee shall not change the

form of a check that is not honored for any reason, or (ii) the Servicer makes
a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount
that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the
Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the

Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall
be deemed not to have been paid.

     (f) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Principal and Interest
Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments with respect to the
Servicing Fee, together with the Liquidation Expenses, may not be deposited by
the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account.

     (g) So long as no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and consistent with any requirements of the Code, the Principal and Interest

extent practicable) in Permitted Investments, as directed in writing by the
Servicer, and, in each case, with a stated maturity (giving effect to any
applicable grace period) no later than the fourth Business Day immediately
preceding the Remittance Date next following the Due Period in which the date

Interest Account shall be deemed part of the Interest Collection Account and
shall be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.03 and distributed on
the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The amount of any

Interest Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account by the Servicer from its own funds immediately as realized
without reimbursement therefor.

(“LIBOR”) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of 1-month (the
“One–Month Index Maturity”) which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days
preceding that Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR Determination Date”). If
such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 on the related LIBOR
Determination Date, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be
determined as if the parties had specified “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” as the
applicable rate. “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” means that the interest rate for
an Interest Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at
which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related LIBOR Determination Date
to prime banks in the London interbank market for the 1–Month Index Maturity
commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a
Representative Amount. The Indenture Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at least two (2) such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than
two (2) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks
in New York City, selected by the Indenture Trustee, at 11:00 a.m. New York
City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for loans in U.S.
Dollars to leading European banks for the 1–Month Index Maturity commencing at
the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount.

     (b) The establishment of LIBOR on the applicable London Banking Day by the
Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the
rates of interest applicable to the Notes for the related Remittance Date
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding. Each such rate
of interest may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at (612)
667–8058.

     Section 7.07. Monthly Reconciliation. 

     (a) Except as set forth in Section 7.07(b), on each Business Day
during each Due Period that Principal Collections are received in the Principal
Collection Account with respect to any Loan in the Loan Pool, the Servicer will
determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and the principal amount of the portion
of such Loan not owned by the Issuer (if any) with respect to such Loan.

105

 

     (b) Prior to (i) a payment default on the related Loan (and in the case of
Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more
than one calendar day), (ii) a Servicer Default, (iii) an Event of Default or
(iv) an Accelerated Amortization Event, on each Monthly Reconciliation Date,
the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and principal amount
of the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special
purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the
related facility (if any) with respect to each Revolving Loan secured by
Collateral (but specifically excluding any Revolving Loan that is not secured
by any Collateral) in the Loan Pool, and on and as of such date will determine
the net effect of the Principal Collections received from, and payments from
the Principal Collection Account representing new advances made to, the related
Obligor during such Due Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
will maintain the underlying data of all Principal Collections received and
payments or advances made with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by
Collateral from the Principal Collection Account on each day during each Due
Period, and shall make such underlying data available pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03.

 ARTICLE 8. 

SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER

     Section 8.01. Servicer Default. 

“Servicer Default” means the occurrence of any of the following:

     (a) any failure by the Servicer to remit when due any payment required to
be made under the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
it being understood that the Servicer shall not be responsible for the failure
of either the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to remit funds that were
received by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee from the Servicer in
accordance with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

     (b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material
respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any
representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or
other writing delivered thereto or in connection therewith proves to have been
incorrect when made, which failure or breach has a material adverse effect on
the rights of the Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties and continues
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (if such failure or breach can be
cured) after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such
failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible
Officer of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by any Securityholder or
Hedge Counterparty, and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the
Servicer receives actual knowledge of such failure or breach; or

     (c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in
any Insolvency Proceedings, or for the winding–up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and

106

 

such decree or order
shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty
(30) days; or

     (d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any Insolvency Proceedings of or relating to the
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer’s
property; or

     (e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable Insolvency
Laws, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or

     (f) without the consent of the Majority Noteholders or the Hedge
Counterparties, the Servicer agrees or consents to, or otherwise permits to
occur, any amendment, modification, change, supplement or rescission of or to
the Servicer or the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or in part, in any
manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Loans; or

     (g) failure by the Servicer to observe or perform the Credit and
Collection Policy regarding the servicing of the Loans in any manner that would
have a material adverse effect on the Loans.

     Section 8.02. Servicer Transfer. 

     (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Noteholders may, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to
the parties hereto and each of the Hedge Counterparties, terminate all (but not
less than all) of the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing,
custodial and collection functions; provided, however, no
Termination Notice shall be required with respect to any Servicer Default
described under Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) and Section
8.01(e).

     (b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a Successor Servicer
shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment
being herein called a “Servicer Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees,
indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in such successor (the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and
under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney–in–fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer
to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited
by the Servicer, in the Principal and Interest Account, or for its own account
in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect
to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all
records held by the Servicer relating to the Loans in such electronic form as
the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the
Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its
premises (including all computer

107

 

records and programs) to the Successor
Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of
the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall
also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of
the Servicer. Any indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer and any fees, costs, expenses,
Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances which have accrued and/or are
unpaid to the Servicer shall survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer.

     Section 8.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance;
Successor Servicer to Act. 

     (a) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform
all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the
Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually
agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall
as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice,
appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be the Backup Servicer, in accordance
with Section 5.15(c), and named Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee and Owner Trustee; provided, that, no appointment of a
Successor Servicer or acceptance and assumption by a proposed Successor
Servicer shall be effective without the prior satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition. If within 60 days of delivery of a Termination Notice a Successor
Servicer is not appointed and the Servicer shall have yet to cure the Servicer
Default, then the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Trust Depositor, and the
Trust Depositor shall offer the Originator, the right to accept retransfer of
all the Loan Assets, and such parties may accept retransfer of such Loan Assets
in consideration of the Trust Depositor’s delivery to the Principal and
Interest Account on or prior to the next upcoming Remittance Date of a sum
equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Securities (other
than the Certificates) then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon through such date of deposit and all other amounts due and
owing to any Person under the Transaction Documents, including amounts owing to
each Hedge Counterparty, including Hedge Breakage Costs, it being a condition
precedent to such retransfer that all Hedge Transactions then outstanding under
any Hedge Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable
to the Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage Costs, upon such
termination shall be paid in full; provided, that, the Indenture
Trustee, if so directed by the Majority Noteholders in writing, need not accept
and effect such reconveyance
in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment
bank or similar entity) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture Trustee or
Majority Noteholders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent
conveyance of the Trust Depositor or the Originator.

     (b) The Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if the Majority Noteholders request in writing to the Backup
Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established servicing institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.

     (c) As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without
limitation, the Backup Servicer) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the
Servicing Fee, together with any

108

 

other servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that
accrued prior thereto; including, without limitation, all reasonable costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring
the servicing obligations under the Agreement and amending the Agreement to
reflect such transfer.

     (d) In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids, the
Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and
mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above.
Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be
entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation,
together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within thirty
(30) days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall
negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the
Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale,
transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and
of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by
the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and
assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The Backup Servicer and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any other
Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused
by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective until written
notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Indenture
Trustee to each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty and the Backup
Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.

     (e) On or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the
terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and
liabilities arising after such Servicer Transfer; provided,
however, that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations
of the Servicer described in Section 8.02 and (ii) the Successor
Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer
occurring prior to such Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of
any of its representations and warranties contained herein or in any related
document or agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer be liable for
any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee
paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act
as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein, including any Additional Servicing Fee. The Owner
Trustee, Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. To the

109

 

extent the terminated Servicer has made
Servicing Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same
notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had
continued to service the Loans hereunder.

     Section 8.04. Notification to Securityholders and Hedge
Counterparties. 

     (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor
and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 13.04
hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth in the register kept by the
Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.

     (b) Within 10 days following any termination of the Servicer or
appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the
Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and
the Trust Depositor at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof,
to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses
appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and
to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth for such party in the
register kept by the Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.

     Section 8.05. Effect of Transfer. 

     (a) After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no
further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing,
custody or collection of the Loans and the Successor Servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that
the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to
the Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same
form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the
Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in
connection with the Loans.

     (b) A Servicer Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the
Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration,
servicing, custody or collection of the Loans.

     Section 8.06. Database File. 

     Upon reasonable request by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer,
the Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape or
Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet file containing the database file for
each Loan (a) as of the Cut–Off Date, (b) the Subsequent Cut–Off Dates, (c)
thereafter, as of the last day of the preceding Due Period on the Determination
Date prior to a Servicer Default and (d) on and as of the Business Day before
the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer
following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.

     Section 8.07. Waiver of Defaults. 

110

 

     The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all the Securityholders, and
subject to satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive any events permitting
removal of the Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8; provided,
however, that the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in making
a required distribution to the Hedge Counterparties without the consent of the
Hedge Counterparties or on a Note without the consent of each holder of such
Note. Upon any waiver or cure of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Servicer Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver or cure shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. No such
waivers shall affect any Hedge Transaction that has been terminated in
accordance with its terms.

     Section 8.08. Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer. 

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

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

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

     (d) If the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the
role of Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled
to the benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.02
concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.

     Section 8.09. Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer. 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions relating to a Servicer Transfer,
no Servicer Transfer shall be effective hereunder unless prior written notice
thereof shall have been given to

111

 

the Rating Agencies, and the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.

     Section 8.10. Appointment of Successor Backup Servicer; Successor
Backup Servicer to Act. 

     (a) The Backup Servicer may be removed, with or without cause, by the
Majority Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee, by notice given in writing to
the Backup Servicer (the “Backup Servicer Termination Notice”), a copy
of which shall be provided to S&P promptly after it is delivered to the Backup
Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall continue to perform all backup servicing
functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Backup Servicer
Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually
agreed by the Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee
shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Backup Servicer Termination
Notice, to appoint a Successor Backup Servicer (the “Successor Backup
Servicer”) and such Successor Backup Servicer shall accept its appointment
by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and Owner
Trustee.

     (b) In the event that a Successor Backup Servicer has not been appointed
and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Backup Servicer
has ceased to act as Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the backup servicing of loans similar to the Loans as the
Successor Backup Servicer hereunder and the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
the successor in all respects to the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Backup
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Backup Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and the terminated Backup Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such backup servicer
transfer (the “Backup Servicer Transfer”); provided,
however, that the Successor Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any
acts or omissions of the Backup Servicer occurring prior to such Backup
Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Backup Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Backup Servicer shall be
entitled to receive reasonable compensation equal to the monthly
Backup Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer be liable for
any Backup Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the backup
servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor
Backup Servicer to act as Backup Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein. The Owner Trustee,
Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.

     With respect to each Remittance Date and the related Due Period, the

Exhibit H hereto with respect to the preceding Due Period.

     Section 9.02. Officer’s Certificate. 

     Each Monthly Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.01 shall be
accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
certifying the accuracy of the Monthly Report and that no Servicer Default or
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Servicer Default
has occurred, or if such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying the
event and its status.

     Section 9.03. Other Data; Obligor Financial Information. 

     (a) The Servicer shall, upon the request of any Trustees, any Hedge
Counterparty, the Backup Servicer, or any Rating Agency, furnish such Trustee,
Hedge Counterparty, Rating Agency or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be,
such underlying data used to generate a Monthly Report as may be reasonably
requested.

     (b) The Servicer will forward to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
each Hedge Counterparty, each Rating Agency and Citigroup (a) within 60 days
after each calendar quarter (except the fourth calendar quarter), commencing
with the quarter beginning October 1, 2004, the unaudited quarterly financial
statements of the Servicer and (b) within ninety (90) days after each fiscal
year of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004,

S&P, updated financial information with respect to the related Obligor.

113

 

     (f) The Servicer will provide to the Rating Agencies such financial
information, documents and other materials as the Rating Agencies shall
reasonably request in connection with any annual review and/or re-grading of
the Loans in the Loan Pool and the related Obligors which the Rating Agencies

     Section 9.04. Annual Report of Accountants. 

     The Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent
certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountants”), who may
also render other services to the Servicer or its Affiliates, to deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty, the Backup
Servicer and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31 of each year, beginning
on March 31, 2005, a report addressed to the Board of Managers of the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee indicating that (a) with respect to
the 12-months ended the immediately preceding December 31, to the effect that
such Independent Accountants have audited the financial statements of the
Servicer, that as part of that audit, nothing came to the attention of such
Independent Accountants that causes them to believe that the Servicer was not
in compliance with any of the terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the
relevant sections of this Agreement, insofar as they relate to accounting
matters, except for such exceptions as such Independent Accountants shall
believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in
such report, (b) in connection with the Independent Accountants’ audit of the

serviced by the Servicer, except for such exceptions as such Independent
Accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall

has been reviewed and such testing is in compliance with the terms of the

Monthly Report for 4-months with respect to the 12 months ended the immediately
preceding December 31 and, for each Monthly Report, the Independent Accountants
will agree all amounts in the Monthly Report to the Servicer’s computer,
accounting and other reports, which will include in such report any amounts
which were not in agreement. In the event such firm of Independent Accountants
requires the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such
firm of Independent Accountants, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture
Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the
Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance
upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee will not make any
independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such
procedures. The Independent Accountants’ report shall also indicate that the
firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

     Section 9.05. Annual Statement of Compliance from Servicer. 

     The Servicer will deliver to the Trustees and each Hedge Counterparty

fully complied in all material respects with certain provisions of the
Agreement relating to servicing of the Loans and payments on the Notes, (b) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the prior calendar year and of
its performance

114

 

under this Agreement was made under the supervision of the
officer signing such certificate and (c) to the best of such officer’s
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fully performed or cause to
be performed in all material respects all its obligations under this Agreement
for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment in all
material respects any of its obligations, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof and the steps being taken or
necessary to be taken to remedy such event. A copy of such certificate may be

Property. 

     Each year the Servicer shall make the reports of foreclosures and
abandonment of any Mortgaged Property as and to the extent required by § 6050J

shall provide the Indenture Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that such report has been filed.

     Section 9.07. Notices. 

     (a) The Servicer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and each Hedge

(including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential
defaults or potential breaches) given to or received from its other lenders and
(ii) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Servicer
Default or of any situation which the Servicer reasonably expects to develop

developments affecting the Servicer or the financial statements of the Servicer
and to permit any Noteholder or Hedge Counterparty upon reasonable advance
notice and subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions to inspect the
Servicer’s servicing facilities during normal business hours and in a manner
that does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or
customer or employee relations for the purpose of satisfying such Noteholder or
Hedge Counterparty that the Servicer has the ability to service the Loans in
accordance with this Agreement.

     Section 9.08. Indenture Trustee’s Right to Examine Servicer Records
and Audit Operations. 

     The Indenture Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty shall have the right
upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, in a manner that
does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or
customer or employee relations, and as often as reasonably required, to examine
and audit any and all of the books, records or other information of the
Servicer, whether held by the Servicer or by another on behalf of the Servicer,
which may be relevant to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. No amounts payable in
respect of the foregoing shall be paid from the Loan Assets.

     (a) At any time during the Call Period, the Issuer shall have the option
to repurchase for the Repurchase Price the Offered Notes then outstanding, at
the direction of the Holder of the Class E Note, on any Remittance Date after

occur, an amount equal to the Repurchase Price and such repurchase shall
otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 10.01 of the
Indenture.

     (b) Notice of any repurchase pursuant to Section 10.01(a) shall be
given by the Holder of the Class E Note to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Rating Agencies.

     (c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the termination of all
Hedge Transactions then outstanding under all Hedge Agreements then in effect
and the payment in full of all amounts, including Hedge Breakage Costs, payable
to such Hedge Counterparties upon such terminations, the Certificateholders
will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee
will succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 10.02. Termination. 

     (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon notice to the Indenture Trustee of
the earlier of the following events: (i) the final payment on or the
disposition or other liquidation by the Issuer of the last Loan (including,
without limitation, in connection with a purchase by the Servicer of all
outstanding Loan Assets pursuant to Section 10.01) or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Loan and the remittance of all funds due thereunder, or (ii) mutual written
consent of the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, Indenture Trustee, the
Originator, all Securityholders and all Hedge Counterparties.

distribution before the Determination Date in such month, specifying (i) the
Remittance Date upon which final payment of the Notes (or Repurchase Price, as

of the Indenture Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Remittance
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and
surrender of the Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein
specified. The Servicer shall give such notice to the Indenture Trustee and
the Hedge Counterparties at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION;

REPURCHASE OPTION

     Section 11.01. Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Loans for Breach
of Representations and Warranties. 

     Upon a discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or any
subservicer, a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee of a breach of a representation or warranty as set forth in Section
3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04 or
Section 3.05 or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice or any
Subsequent Purchase Agreement relating to Substitute Loans that materially and
adversely affects the value of the Loans or the interests of the
Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties therein or which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Hedge
Counterparties in the related Loan in the case of a representation or warranty
relating to a particular Loan (notwithstanding that such representation or
warranty was made to the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s best knowledge)
(an “Ineligible Loan”), the party discovering the breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties and to each Hedge Counterparty;
provided, that, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or
obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach of any of such
representations or warranties. Within thirty (30) days of the earlier of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach of a representation or
warranty, the Originator or Trust Depositor shall (a) promptly cure such breach
in all material respects, (b) repurchase each such Ineligible Loan by
depositing in the Principal and Interest Account, within such thirty (30) day
period, an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount, or (c) remove such Loan
from the Issuer and effect a substitution for such affected Loan with a
Substitute Loan in accordance with the substitution requirements set forth in
Section 2.04, not later than the date a repurchase of such affected Loan
would be required hereunder; provided, however, that with respect
to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the Loans in the
aggregate and not to any particular Loan, the Originator may select Loans
(without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had
such Loans not been included as part of the Loan Assets (and, in the case of a
substitution, had such Substitute Loan been included as part of the Loan Assets
instead of the selected Loan) there would have been no breach of such
representation or warranty.

     Section 11.02. Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans. 

     Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account of the amounts described in Section 11.01 (or upon the
Subsequent Transfer Date related to a Substitute Loan described in Section
11.01), and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to
the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall assign to the Originator all
of the Issuer’s (or Trust Depositor’s, as applicable) right, title and interest
in the repurchased or substituted Loan and related Loan Assets without
recourse, representation or warranty. Such reassigned Loan shall no longer
thereafter be included in any calculations of Outstanding Loan Balances
required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Issuer.

individual capacities) and each Securityholder harmless from and against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses

willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming indemnification. The Trust

	 	(x)	 	if to the Hedge Counterparties:

     At the address set forth for such party in the applicable Hedge Agreement.

     Each party hereto may, by notice given in accordance herewith to each of
the other parties hereto, designate any further or different address to which
subsequent notices shall be sent.

     Section 13.05. Severability of Provisions. 

     If 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, the Notes or Certificates or the rights of the Securityholders or
the Hedge Counterparties, and any such prohibition, invalidity or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms in any other
jurisdiction.

     Section 13.06. Third Party Beneficiaries. 

     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the parties hereto
hereby manifest their intent that no third party (other than the Owner Trustee
and the Hedge Counterparties) shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement, and specifically that the Obligors are not third party beneficiaries
of this Agreement.

     Section 13.07. Counterparts. 

     This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     Section 13.08. Headings. 

     The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or
provisions hereof.

     Section 13.09. No Bankruptcy Petition; Disclaimer. 

     (a) Each of the Originator, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the
Issuer acting through the Owner Trustee and each Holder (by acceptance of the
applicable Securities) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day (or, if longer, the then applicable preference period and one
day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of all
outstanding Classes of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, it will not institute
against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, or join any other Person in
instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prohibit the Indenture Trustee from

123

 

filing proofs of claim or otherwise
participating in any such proceedings instituted by any other Person. This
Section 13.09 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

     (b) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Certificates represent a
beneficial interest in the Issuer and Loan Assets only and the Securities do
not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Loan Assets) of the
Trust Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of
obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Loan Assets and proceeds
thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the
extent that the Trust Depositor enters into other transactions as contemplated
in Section 6.07, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have
no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein), other
than the Loan Assets, conveyed or purported to be conveyed (whether by way of a
sale, capital contribution or by the granting of a Lien) by the Trust Depositor
to any Person other than the Issuer (the “Other Assets”).

     (c) To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this
Section 13.09, the Issuer, any Securityholder or any Hedge Counterparty,
either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from any Other
Assets, whether asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other
Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any interest,
claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets, whether by operation of law,
legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or
otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the
federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended) and whether deemed asserted against or
through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor,
then the Issuer, each Securityholder by accepting a Note or Certificate and
each Hedge Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and
liabilities of the Trust Depositor that, under the terms of the documents
relating to the securitization of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid
from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets
(whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected
or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution under applicable law,
including Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or
any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor) including, without limitation,
the payment of post–petition interest on such other obligations and
liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination
agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of
the Issuer, the Hedge Counterparties and the Securityholders is deemed to have
acknowledged and agreed that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 13.09 and that the terms and provisions of this
Section 13.09 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.

     (d) The provisions of this Section 13.09 shall be for the third
party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon, including the Securityholders
and the Hedge Counterparties, and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

     Section 13.10.
Jurisdiction.

     Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be
brought in the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New
York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto
consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non–

124

 

exclusive
jurisdiction of those courts. Each such party irrevocably waives any
objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the
grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the
bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this
Agreement or any document related hereto.

     Section 13.11. Tax Characterization. 

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section
2.04 hereof, the Trust Depositor and Owner Trustee agree that, pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701–3(b)(1) and for federal income tax
purposes, in the event that the Certificates and the Class E Notes are owned by
more than one Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a partnership the partners
of which are the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class E Notes, and
in the event that the Certificates the Class E Notes are owned by a single
Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a division of such Holder.

     Section 13.12. Prohibited Transactions with Respect to the Issuer. 

     The Originator shall not:

     (a) Provide credit to any Noteholder or Certificateholder for the purpose
of enabling such Noteholder or Certificateholder to purchase Notes or
Certificates, respectively;

     (b) Purchase any Notes or Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity;
or

     (c) Except in its capacity as Servicer as provided in this Agreement, lend
any money to the Issuer.

     Section 13.13. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. 

     Wilmington Trust Company acts on behalf of the Issuer solely as Owner
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having
any claim against the Issuer by reason of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall look only to the Trust Estate
under the Trust Agreement for payment or satisfaction thereof. The Owner
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Notes, or of any Loan or
related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility
or liability for or
with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Loan, or
the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Loan in any
Collateral or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate under the Trust Agreement
or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the
Certificateholder under the Trust Agreement or the Noteholders under the
Indenture, including, without limitation, the existence, condition and
ownership of any Collateral; the existence and enforceability of any insurance
thereon; the existence and contents of any Loan on any computer or other record
thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Loan to the Issuer or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Loan; the performance or
enforcement of any Loan; the compliance by the Issuer, the Trust Depositor or
the Servicer with any covenant, agreement or other obligation or any warranty

document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; or any action
of the

Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name
of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer.

     Section 13.14. Allocation of Payments with Respect to Loans. 

     (a) With respect to any Partially Funded Term Loans and any Revolving
Loans, the Issuer will own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding
as of the applicable Cut–Off Date. Principal Collections received by the
Servicer on any Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE Obligors) will be
allocated first to the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its
Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any
co-lenders under the facility, until the principal amount of such portion is
reduced to zero, and then to the portion owned by the Issuer; provided,
however, if (i) a payment default occurs with respect to any of the
related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default
shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and
such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (ii) the Originator has
determined in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or
the Originator has determined in its sole discretion to reduce its commitment
to an Obligor, (iii) an Event of Default occurs, (iv) a Servicer Default
occurs, or (v) an Accelerated Amortization Event occurs, then Principal
Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause
(i) or (ii) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of
clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above) will be allocated between the
portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under
the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the facility, portions owned
by the Issuer in a Prior Term Transaction and the portion owned by the Issuer
pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. So
long as there is no (1) payment default on the related Loans (and in the case
of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a
payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more
than one calendar day), (2) Servicer Default, (3) Event of Default, or (4)
Accelerated Amortization Event, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding
Loan Balance, the Retained Interest (if any) and the Principal Collections
received with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by Collateral on each
Monthly Reconciliation Date, and all other Loans (including Revolving Loans not
secured by any Collateral) and in all other cases on each Business Day,
pursuant to Section 7.07.

     (b) With respect to any Revolving Loan (other than Loans to SPE Obligors),
Interest Collections received by the Servicer on those Loans will be allocated
between the portion not
owned by the Issuer and the portion owned by the Issuer on a pro rata
basis according to the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.

     (c) With respect to any Fully Funded Term Loans, Partially Funded Term
Loans and Loans to SPE Obligors, Collections received by the Servicer will be
allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer (if any) and the portion
owned by the Issuer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal
amount of such portion.

     Section 13.15. No Partnership. 

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a
co–partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, and the services of
the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent
for the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.

126

 

     Section 13.16. Successors and Assigns. 

     This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     Section 13.17. Acts of Holders. 

     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Holder action,
consent or approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or
approval shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be
binding upon, all Holders if the Majority Noteholders agree to take such action
or give such consent or approval.

     Section 13.18. Duration of Agreement. 

     This Agreement shall continue in existence and effect until terminated as
herein provided.

     Section 13.19. Limited Recourse. 

     The obligations of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the
Servicer under this Agreement are solely the obligations of the Trust
Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the Servicer. No recourse shall be
had for the payment of any amount owing by the Trust Depositor, the Originator,
the Issuer or the Servicer under this Agreement or for the payment by the Trust
Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer of any fee in respect
hereof or any other obligation or claim of or against the Trust Depositor, the
Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, against any employee, officer, director, Affiliate, shareholder,
partner or member of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the
Servicer or against the employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner or
member or any Affiliate of such Person. The provisions of this Section
13.19 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     Section 13.20. Confidentiality. 

     Each of the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer (if other than
CapitalSource), the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer shall maintain
and shall cause each of its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates to
maintain the confidentiality of material non-public information concerning
CapitalSource Inc. and its Public Securities or about the Obligors (to the
extent CapitalSource Inc. has advised such Person or such Person has actual
knowledge that the Loan Documents prohibit disclosure of such information with
respect to the Obligors) obtained by it or them in connection with the
structuring, negotiating, execution and performance of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except that each such party and its
employees, officers, agents and Affiliates may disclose such information to
other parties to the Transaction Documents and to its external accountants,
attorneys, any potential subservicers and the agents of such Persons provided
such Persons expressly agree to maintain the confidentiality of such
information, and as required by an applicable law or order of any judicial or
administrative proceeding.

     Section 13.21. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. 

127

 

     All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees,
representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
“Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms
have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.
