Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
shall be in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3a, A-3b, A-4a, A-4b and A-5
respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have
such letters, numbers or

 

3

 

other marks of
identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may,
consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as
evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note
may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto
on the face of the Note.

 

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel
engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as
evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

 

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of
the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2,
A-3a, A-3b, A-4a, A-4b and A-5
are part of the terms of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 2.2.        Execution,
Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on
behalf of the Issuing Entity by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature
of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

 

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were
at the time of signature Authorized Officers of the Issuing Entity shall bind
the Issuing Entity, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

 

The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuing Entity Order authenticate and
deliver A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3a Notes, A-3b Notes, A-4a Notes, A-4b Notes
and Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of
$111,000,000, $141,000,000, $82,000,000, $35,000,000, $83,500,000, $35,000,000
and $12,500,000, respectively. The Outstanding Amount of A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes,
A-3a Notes, A-3b Notes, A-4a Notes, A-4b Notes and Class B Notes at any
time may not exceed such respective amounts except as provided in Section 2.5.

 

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes
shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and
in greater whole-dollar denominations in excess thereof.

 

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.3.        Temporary
Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuing
Entity may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Order, the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of
the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations
not inconsistent with this Indenture as the Authorized Officers executing such
Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

 

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuing Entity will cause Definitive
Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
Definitive Notes, the temporary

 

4

 

Notes shall be
exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the
office or agency of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Notes, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as if they were Definitive Notes.

 

SECTION 2.4.        Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuing Entity shall
cause to be kept a register (the “Note
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Issuing Entity shall provide for the registration of Notes
and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a
successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties
of the Note Registrar.

 

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the
Issuing Entity as the Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity will give the
Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note
Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note
Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note
Register at all reasonable times, to obtain copies thereof and to rely upon a
certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer
thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the
principal amounts and number of such Notes.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2,
if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met (provided,
this requirement will only apply to transfers of Class B Notes following (i) the
transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the Originator
and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B Notes
registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), the Issuing
Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the
Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

 

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other new Notes
of the same Class in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements
of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met (provided, this requirement
will only apply to exchanges of Class B Notes following (i) the
transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the
Originator and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B
Notes registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), the
Issuing Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the
Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

By its acquisition of a Note or any interest therein, each purchaser or
transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is
not an “employee benefit plan” within the

 

5

 

meaning of Section 3(3) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that is subject to Title I of
ERISA, a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), an
entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing or a “governmental
plan” as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA that is subject to any law
substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
acquisition and holding of the Note or any interest therein will not result in
a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

 

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuing Entity, evidencing the same debt
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

No transfer of a Class B Note shall be made unless such transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and any applicable state securities laws or
is exempt from the registration requirements under said Securities Act and such
state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure
compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, there shall be delivered to
the Issuing Entity and to the Indenture Trustee a letter in substantially the
form of Exhibit C (the “Rule 144A Letter”). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence or anything else herein, any transfer of the Class B
Notes to the Depositor, the Originator or any of their Affiliates on the
Closing Date, and any transfer from any of such entities to its Affiliate, and
any transfer from any such entity to an initial purchaser(s) pursuant to
an exemption from the registration requirements, will not require the delivery
of a Rule 144A Letter and may be made regardless of whether such entity is
a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in the Securities Act. The Issuing
Entity shall provide to any Holder of a Class B Note and any prospective
transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the Class B
Notes and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for
transfer of any such Class B Note without registration thereof under the
Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.
The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Issuing Entity
in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding
sentence, including providing to the Issuing Entity such information regarding
the Class B Notes, the Receivables and other matters regarding the Trust
Estate as the Issuing Entity shall reasonably request to meet its obligation
under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class B Note desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Seller and the Servicer 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.

 

Every Class A Note, and every Class B Note (but, with respect
to Class B Notes only, only with respect to transfers following (i) the
transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the
Originator and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B
Notes registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by

 

6

 

an “eligible
guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which
requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”)
or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with
the Exchange Act.

 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuing Entity may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,
other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any
transfer.

 

SECTION 2.5.        Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 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 the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity to
hold the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, respectively, harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met,
the Issuing Entity 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 of the same
Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven
days shall be, due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption,
instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuing Entity may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
(or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the
preceding sentence), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of
which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note,
the Issuing Entity 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 payment made) or any assignee of such
Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the
security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost
or expense incurred by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in
connection therewith.

 

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the
Issuing Entity 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 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, 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.

 

7

 

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

 

SECTION 2.6.        Persons
Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent
of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of
such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest, if
any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note be overdue, and neither the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any
agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 2.7.        Payment
of Principal and Interest;
Defaulted Interest. (a)  The A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3a
Notes, A-3b Notes, A-4a Notes, A-4b Notes and Class B Notes shall accrue
interest at the A-1 Note Rate, the A-2 Note Rate, the A-3a Note Rate, the A-3b
Note Rate, the A-4a Note Rate, the A-4b Note Rate and the Class B Note
Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date,
subject to Section 3.1. Any installment of interest or principal, if any,
payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuing
Entity on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) 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. However, unless Definitive
Notes have been issued, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in
the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be
Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. In addition, so long
as Definitive Notes have been issued with respect to the Class B Notes and
the Originator or its Affiliate is the entity in whose name such Class B
Notes are registered on the Record Date, payment will be made by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Originator or
such Affiliate. Notwithstanding the above, the final installment of principal
payable with respect to such Note (and except for the Redemption Price for any
Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall be payable
as provided in clause (b)(ii). The
funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in
accordance with Section 3.3.

 

(b)           (i) 
The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment
Date as provided in this Indenture, and except as provided below each such
installment shall be due and payable only to the extent that there are funds
available to make the payment in accordance with the Basic Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing:  (A) the entire
Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes shall be due and payable on the
related Class Final Scheduled Maturity Date, and (B) the entire
Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes shall be due and payable, ratably to
all Noteholders, on any date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared
the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2.
All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to
the Noteholders of the Class A-1 Notes. All principal payments on the Class A-2
Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the Class A-2 Notes.
All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to
the 

 

8

 

Noteholders of the Class A-3 Notes. All
principal payments on the Class A-4 Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of the Class A-4 Notes. All principal payments on the Class B
Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the Class B Notes.

 

(ii)           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 Payment Date on which the Issuing Entity expects that
the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid.
Such notice shall be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to such
final Payment 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 redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to
Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

 

(c)           If
the Issuing Entity defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuing
Entity shall pay, in any lawful manner, defaulted interest (plus interest on
such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable interest rate
from the Payment Date for which such payment is in default. The Issuing Entity
may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days
prior to the special payment date. The Issuing Entity shall fix or cause to be
fixed any such special record date and special payment date, and, at least 15
days before any such special record date, shall mail to each Noteholder a
notice that states the special record date, the special payment date and the
amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

 

SECTION 2.8.        Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or
redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled
by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity may at any time deliver to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder that the Issuing Entity may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal
policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuing Entity shall direct by an
Issuing Entity Order that they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuing
Entity Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.9.        Release
of Collateral. Subject to Sections 8.4 and 11.1 and the Basic
Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this
Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an
Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in
accordance with TIA §§314(c) and 314(d)(l), or an Opinion of Counsel in
lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not
require any such Independent Certificates.

 

SECTION 2.10.      Book-Entry
Notes. The Class A Notes, upon original issuance, and at
any time after the Closing Date at the Depositor’s request, the Class B
Notes, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to

 

9

 

The Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”) (the
initial Clearing Agency), or its custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuing
Entity. Such Class A Notes shall initially (and such Class B Notes
shall, upon the Depositor’s request) be registered on the Note Register in the
name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Note Owner of such Note will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note
Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12, and except
with respect to the Class B Notes, which will initially be issued as
Definitive Notes registered in the name of CNH Capital America LLC. Unless and
until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive
Notes”) representing Class A Notes have been issued to Note
Owners, and with respect to Class B Notes, for the period beginning when
such Class B Notes are no longer held as Definitive Notes until such Class B
Notes are again held as Definitive Notes:

 

(i)            this Section shall be in full force
and effect;

 

(ii)           the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee
may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of
principal of and interest on the applicable Notes) as the authorized
representative of the Note Owners;

 

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

 

(iv)          the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised
only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the
Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless
and until Definitive Notes are issued (and, with respect to the Class B
Notes, for any period during which no Definitive Notes are issued), the
Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on
the applicable Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

 

(v)           whenever this Indenture requires or permits
actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or a Class of
Notes), the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only
to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners
and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such
required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes (or Class of
Notes) and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.11.      Notices to
Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the
Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes
for the Class A Notes have been issued (and, with respect to the Class B
Notes, for any period during which no Definitive Notes are issued) to Note
Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to
the Clearing Agency.

 

SECTION 2.12.      Definitive
Notes. Notes initially or subsequently cleared through a
clearing agency may be issued in definitive, fully registered certificated form
to Noteholders if requested by the DTC participants to whom the Notes are
credited and in

 

10

 

accordance
with DTC’s rules and procedures. Upon any surrender to the Indenture
Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuing Entity
shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, the Definitive
Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the
Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Notes as Noteholders. In addition, Notes issued as Definitive Notes
from time to time may be subsequently issued as Book-Entry Notes and cleared
through a Clearing Agency at the request of applicable Holders of the
Definitive Notes. The Class B Notes are initially issued only as
registered Definitive Notes without coupons in denominations specified herein.

 

SECTION 2.13.      Tax
Treatment. It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income
tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, until the
Certificates are held by other than the Seller, the Trust be disregarded as an
entity separate from the Seller and the Notes be treated as debt of the Seller.
At such time that the Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the
intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that,
for such tax purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership and the Notes be
treated as debt of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a
Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees
to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes
for such tax purposes as provided in this Section 2.13.

 

ARTICLE III

Covenants

 

SECTION 3.1.        Payment
of Principal and Interest. The Issuing Entity will duly and
punctually pay the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance
with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing,
subject to Sections 8.2(c) and (e), the Issuing Entity will cause to be
distributed to Holders of the Notes all amounts on deposit in the Note
Distribution Account on a Payment Date deposited therein for the benefit of the
Notes pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld
under the Code or any applicable State law by any Person from a payment to any
Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid
by the Issuing Entity to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 3.2.        Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Issuing Entity will maintain in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and
demands to or upon the Issuing Entity in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Issuing Entity hereby initially appoints the
Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuing
Entity will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the
Counterparties of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such
office or agency. If at any time the Issuing Entity shall fail to maintain any
such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee and the
Counterparties with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuing Entity

 

11

 

hereby
appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders,
notices and demands.

 

SECTION 3.3.        Money for
Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Sections 8.2(a) and
(b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are
to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(e),
as applicable, shall be made on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the Indenture
Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes
shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity except as provided in this Section.

 

One Business Day prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the
Issuing Entity shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution
Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under
the Notes, 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 of its action or failure so to act.

 

Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuing Entity Order with
written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by
the Issuing Entity shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture
Trustee hereunder as provided in Section 6.11.

 

The Issuing Entity 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, that such Paying Agent will:

 

(i)            hold in trust all sums held by it for the payment
of amounts due with respect to the Notes 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 and the
Counterparties notice of any default by the Issuing Entity (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any
payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

 

(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 a Paying Agent and
forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the
payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be
met by a Paying Agent; and

 

(v)           comply with all requirements of the Code and
any applicable State law with respect to the withholding from any payments made
by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with
respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

 

12

 

The Issuing Entity may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by
Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity on Issuing Entity Order; and the Holder
of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Issuing Entity for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts
so paid to the Issuing Entity), 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 Issuing Entity
cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the
City of New York, 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 Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at
the expense of the Issuing Entity, any other reasonable means of notification
of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose
Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose
right to or interest in monies 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 3.4.        Existence.
The Issuing Entity will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization 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
Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

 

SECTION 3.5.        Protection
of the Trust Estate. The Issuing Entity will from time to time
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:

 

(i)            maintain or preserve the Lien and security
interest (and the 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;

 

(iii)          enforce any of the Collateral; or

 

13

 

(iv)          preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate
and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust
Estate against the claims of all Persons.

 

The Issuing Entity hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent
and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation
statement, instrument of further assurance or other instrument required to be
executed to accomplish the foregoing.

 

SECTION 3.6.        Opinions
as to the Trust Estate. (a)  On the Closing Date, the
Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken
or will be taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture,
any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with
respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the Lien and
security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such
action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is
necessary to make such Lien and security interest effective.

 

(b)           On
or before April 30 in each calendar year commencing in the calendar year
2008 the Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has
been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements, as is necessary to maintain the Lien
and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such
action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is
necessary to maintain such Lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel
shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this
Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents, and the execution and filing of any financing statements, amendments
to financing statements and continuation statements, that will, in the opinion
of such counsel, be required to maintain the Lien and security interest of this
Indenture until April 30 in the following calendar year.

 

SECTION 3.7.        Performance
of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. (a)  The Issuing
Entity will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any
action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any material
covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the
Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation,
subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly
provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other
instrument or agreement.

 

(b)           The
Issuing Entity may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its
duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person
identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuing
Entity shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuing Entity. Initially, the
Issuing Entity has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist
the Issuing Entity in performing its duties under this Indenture.

 

14

 

(c)           The
Issuing Entity will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and
agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the
instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including filing or
causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements
required to be filed by this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except
as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuing Entity shall not waive,
amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision
thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

 

(d)           If
the Issuing Entity shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer
Default, the Issuing Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the
Counterparties and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such
notice the action, if any, the Issuing Entity is taking with respect to such
default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to
perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Receivables, the Issuing Entity shall take all reasonable
steps available to it to remedy such failure.

 

(e)           As
promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer
of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall become the successor
servicer (the “Successor Servicer”)
(or if there is no Backup Servicer on such date, then the Issuing Entity shall
appoint a Successor Servicer acceptable to the Indenture Trustee), and such
Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a
form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor
Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when
the previous Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without
further action shall automatically be appointed as the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding
the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is unable to so act, (i) notify
the Issuing Entity of its resignation as Successor Servicer and (ii) appoint
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established
institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business shall include the servicing of equipment receivables as the successor
to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In accordance with Section 8.2
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuing Entity shall enter into an
agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the Receivables
(such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s
duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided
herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as
Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be
inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer
and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall
become the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to act through or appoint as Servicer any
one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions
and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding
anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee
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 Indenture and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein, or be liable for or be required to make any servicer
advances.

 

15

 

(f)            Upon any termination of the Servicer’s
rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuing
Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Counterparties. As
soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuing Entity shall notify the
Indenture Trustee and the Counterparties of such appointment, specifying in
such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

 

SECTION 3.8.        Negative Covenants. So long as any
Notes are Outstanding, the Issuing Entity shall not:

 

(i)            except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any
of the properties or assets of the Issuing Entity, including those included in
the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

 

(ii)           claim
any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in
respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments
under the Code or applicable State law) or assert any claim against any present
or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed
upon any part of the Trust Estate; or

 

(iii)          (A) permit
the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be 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 under this Indenture except as may be
expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any Lien (other than the Lien of
this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden
the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds
thereof or (C) permit the Lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid
first priority (other than with respect to any tax lien, mechanics’ lien or
other lien not considered a Lien) security interest in the Trust Estate.

 

SECTION 3.9.        Annual Statement as to Compliance. The
Issuing Entity will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Issuing Entity, an Officer’s Certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B, stating that:

 

(i)            a
review of the activities of the Issuing Entity during such year and of
performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s
supervision; and

 

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

with), or any representation or warranty of
the Issuing Entity made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other
writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have

been made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance
or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was

days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the

receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar

or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Issuing Entity’s affairs, and

consecutive days; or

 

(v)           the

Entity to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuing
Entity or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by the
Issuing Entity of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
failure by the Issuing Entity generally to pay its debts as such debts become
due, or the taking of action by the Issuing Entity in furtherance of any of the
foregoing.

 

The Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the
Counterparties, within five days after the Issuing Entity or the Administrator
obtains actual knowledge thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s
Certificate of any event that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time
or both, would become an Event of Default under clause
(iii), its status and what action the
Issuing Entity is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

SECTION 5.2.        Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such
case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount may declare all the Notes to be immediately
due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuing Entity (and to the
Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the Outstanding
Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

 

22

 

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V
provided, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount, by written notice to the Issuing Entity, the Counterparties
and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

 

(i)            the
Issuing Entity has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:

 

(A)          all amounts owed to
the Counterparties under the Interest Rate Swap Agreements, payments of
principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts, in each case,
that would then be due hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred; and

 

(B)           all sums paid or
advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents
and counsel; and

 

(ii)           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 shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent to such default.

 

SECTION 5.3.        Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee. (a)  The Issuing Entity covenants that
if an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i) or
(ii) occurs, the Issuing Entity
will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for
principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal at the
applicable interest rate, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest
shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
applicable interest rate, 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 Issuing Entity shall fail
forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust, 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 Issuing Entity
or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out
of the property of the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes,
wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

(c)           In case an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the Counterparties, by
such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective
to protect and enforce any such

 

23

 

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 Issuing Entity or any other obligor upon the Notes or any
Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, 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, trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the
Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of
any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity or
other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuing
Entity 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 this Section, 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 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 or regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders
of the Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or any Person
performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

 

(iii)          to
collect and receive any monies 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; and

 

(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 Holders
of Notes allowed in any judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity,
its creditors and its property;

 

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
sequestrator 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 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.

 

24

 

(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.

 

(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 and 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.

 

SECTION 5.4.       Remedies; Priorities. (a) 
If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default, the
Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

 

(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 and to the Counterparties
or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuing Entity
and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

 

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

 

(iii)          exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate
action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee,
the Counterparties and the Holders of the Notes;

 

(iv)          sell
the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one
or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
law; and

 

(v)           make
demand upon the Servicer, by written notice, that the Servicer deliver to the
Indenture Trustee all Receivable Files;

 

provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate
following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii),

 

25

 

unless:  (A) all the
Noteholders consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Noteholders and the Counterparties are sufficient to
discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal
and interest and under the Interest Rate Swap Agreements for any Net Swap
Payments (including interest on any overdue Net Swap Payments) and any Swap
Termination Payments or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the
Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the
Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains
the consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the 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 feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose. The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as a
result of the sale of the Trust Estate or any part thereof at any sale pursuant
to this Section 5.4 conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Issuing Entity and Holders hereby
waives any claims against the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which the Trust Estate may have been sold at such sale was
less than the price that might have been obtained, even if the Indenture
Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Trust Estate to
more than one offeree, so long as such sale is conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner.

 

(b)           If the Indenture Trustee collects any
money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money
or property in the following order:

 

FIRST: 
to pay the Backup Servicer its accrued and unpaid Backup Servicer Fees;

 

SECOND: 
to pay the Servicer its accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee;

 

THIRD: 
to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7
and to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 8.1
of the Trust Agreement;

 

FOURTH: 
to the Administrator its accrued and unpaid Administration Fees;

 

FIFTH: 
to the Note Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to Section 8.2(e) to the extent of all amounts
payable under such Section, other than any amounts that would be deposited into
the Certificate Distribution Account under such Section;

 

SIXTH: 
first, to the Backup Servicer, to cover any accrued and unpaid
reimbursable expenses (including the Backup Servicer Expenses) to the extent
unreimbursed after application of Section 4.12
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and second to the Servicer, to cover any
accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses;

 

SEVENTH:  to the Trustee for amounts due to the Trustee
under Article VIII of the Trust Agreement
to the extent not paid under clause THIRD above;
and

 

26

 

EIGHTH:  to the Issuing Entity for distribution to the
Certificateholders.

 

The Indenture Trustee may fix a special record date and special payment
date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days
before such special record date, the Issuing Entity shall mail to each
Noteholder, the Counterparties and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states
the special record date, the special payment date and the amount to be paid.

 

SECTION 5.5.        Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If
the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2
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 Trust Estate. 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, and the Indenture Trustee
shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession
of the Trust Estate, 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 Trust Estate for such purpose.

 

SECTION 5.6.        Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note
shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

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

 

(ii)           the
Holder(s) of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the 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(s) have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity satisfactory to
it 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 Proceeding; and

 

(v)           no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holder(s) 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 Holder(s) of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority
or preference over any other Holder(s) or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

27

 

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders,
each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any,
shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 5.7.        Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on
such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note
or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION 5.8.        Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to
the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Issuing Entity, 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 5.9.        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 Notes 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 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 Holders of not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any
remedy available to the Indenture Trustee 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;

 

28

 

(ii)           subject
to the express terms of Section 5.4,
any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
shall be by all the Noteholders;

 

(iii)          if
the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture
Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any
direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than
100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust
Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

 

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

 

provided
further,
however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder(s) not consenting to such
action.

 

SECTION 5.12.      Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a
judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained as described in Section 5.3, the Holders of Notes of not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default or
Event of Default and its consequences except a Default:  (a) in payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

 

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred, and 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 Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

SECTION 5.13.      Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorney’s 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 shall not apply to:  (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture
Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any
suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on
or after the Redemption Date).

 

29

 

SECTION 5.14.      Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuing
Entity 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 Issuing Entity (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.      Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s
right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall
not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief
under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor
any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be
impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the
Issuing Entity or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any
portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuing Entity.
Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in
accordance with Section 5.4(b).

 

SECTION 5.16.      Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a)  Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and
at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity shall take all such lawful
action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance
and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or to the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuing
Entity under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement (or the
Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement) to the extent and in
the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of
notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure
performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)           If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction
shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges
and claims of the Issuing Entity against the Seller or the Servicer under or in
connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power
to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller
or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuing Entity thereunder
and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or
waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuing
Entity to take such action shall be suspended.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which
direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies,

 

30

 

powers,
privileges and claims of the Seller against CNHCA under or in connection with
the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to
compel or secure performance or observance by CNHCA, of each of its obligations
to the Seller thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction,
approval, extension or waiver under the Purchase Agreement, and any right of
the Seller to take such action shall be suspended.

 

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

 

SECTION 6.1.        Duties of the 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 skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs.

 

(b)           Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer:

 

(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 opinions furnished to the Indenture
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, in the
case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

 

(c)           The Indenture Trustee may not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(i)            this
clause (c) does not limit the
effect of clause (b) of this Section;

 

(ii)           the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is conclusively determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(iii)          the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it
pursuant to the Indenture;

 

(iv)          the Indenture Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of an Event of Default or Servicer Default unless a
Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Indenture
Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Seller,

 

31

 

Servicer or Note Owners owning Notes
aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and

 

(v)           the
Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuing
Entity, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer, nor shall it have any
liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuing Entity,
the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no
liability in connection with compliance of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Servicer with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the
Receivables. The Indenture Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any
representations or warranties with respect to the Receivables or the validity
or sufficiency of any assignment of the Receivables to the Trust Estate or the
Indenture Trustee.

 

(d)           Every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (g).

 

(e)           The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as
the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuing Entity.

 

(f)            Money held in trust
by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law, this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(g)           No provision of this
Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not
reasonably assured to it.

 

(h)           Every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to this Section and
the TIA.

 

SECTION 6.2.        Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) 
The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
acting on any document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper Person. The Indenture Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

 

(b)           Before the Indenture
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 

(c)           The Indenture
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, a custodian or a
nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it.

 

32

 

(d)           The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 

(e)           The Indenture Trustee
may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to
legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and
complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action
taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
the advice or opinion of such counsel.

 

(f)            The Indenture
Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of
any files or records related to the Receivables for the purpose of establishing
the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Issuing Entity with
its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

 

(g)           In the event that
the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Note Registrar hereunder,
the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to
the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

 

SECTION 6.3.        Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a
fiduciary capacity, become the owner of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the
Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuing
Entity or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying
agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must
comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

 

SECTION 6.4.        Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of, this Indenture or the Notes; shall not be
accountable for the Issuing Entity’s use of the proceeds from the Notes; and
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuing Entity in this
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or
in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

 

SECTION 6.5.        Notice of Defaults. If a Default
occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture
Trustee shall mail to the Counterparties and each Noteholder notice of the
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to
the mandatory redemption provisions of such 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 Counterparties.

 

SECTION 6.6.        Reports by Indenture Trustee to the Holders.
The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may
be required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal, State and other
income tax returns. Within 60 days after each

 

33

 

December 31,
starting with December 31, 2007, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder a brief report as of such December 31 that complies with TIA §
313(a) (if required by said section).

 

SECTION 6.7.        Compensation and Indemnity. The
Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture
Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed to
between the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in writing. The Indenture
Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the
Servicer 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 Issuing Entity shall or shall
cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers,
directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with
the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuing Entity and the Servicer promptly of
any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to
so notify the Issuing Entity and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuing
Entity or the Servicer of its respective obligations hereunder. The Issuing
Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend the claim and the
Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuing Entity shall, or
shall cause the Servicer to, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the
Issuing Entity nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the
Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 

The Issuing Entity’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or
the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v), 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 6.8.        Replacement of the 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 6.8. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuing Entity in writing. The
Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may
remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing
and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity 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;

 

34

 

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

 

(iv)          the
Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

 

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
Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity. 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. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Counterparties
and the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

 

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Holders of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

 

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, the Issuing Entity’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall
have no liability for any act or omission by any successor Indenture Trustee
other than itself, serving again as Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.9.        Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.
If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all 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. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies, the
Counterparties and the Issuing Entity prompt written notice of any such
transaction following the consummation thereof; provided, that such corporation
or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.

 

In case at the time such successor(s) 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 Indenture 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

 

35

 

predecessor
Indenture Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture
Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of authentication shall have
the full force and effect to the same extent given to the certificate of
authentication of the Indenture Trustee anywhere in the Notes or in this
Indenture.

 

SECTION 6.10.      Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Estate 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 Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s), of all
or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person(s), in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section, 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
trustee under Section 6.11
and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

 

(b)           Every separate
trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

 

(i)            all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the 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(s) are
to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act(s), in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust Estate 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, in its
sole discretion, 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 Agreement 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

 

36

 

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 as 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 Agreement 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.

 

(e)           The Indenture
Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate
trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Estate may be located.

 

SECTION 6.11.      Eligibility; Disqualification. The
Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and,
upon Issuing Entity Order, Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition and it shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt
rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, a
comparable rating by another statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee
shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by
the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided,
however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under
which other securities of the Issuing Entity are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

 

If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is
deemed to have a conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for both
(1) the Class A Notes and (2) the Class B Notes, a
successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed for one or more of such Classes,
so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes
and the Class B Notes, respectively. No such event shall alter the voting
rights of the Class A Noteholders or the Class B Noteholders under
this Indenture or any other Basic Document. However, so long as any amounts
remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the Indenture
Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise
remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.4 and to the right of the Class B
Noteholders to receive their respective shares of any proceeds of enforcement,
subject to the subordination of the Class B Notes to the Class A
Notes as described herein). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full,
but so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class B
Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Noteholders will have
the right to exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express
provisions of Section 5.4).

 

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture
Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes, the Issuing Entity, the
retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to
such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto wherein the each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be
necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to

 

37

 

vest in, the
successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to which
the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the
retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of
Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring
Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each
such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein.

 

SECTION 6.12.      Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuing
Entity. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). An Indenture
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to
the extent indicated.

 

SECTION 6.13.      Information to Be Provided by the Indenture Trustee.
At any time when the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act are not suspended, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer promptly
after the Indenture Trustee becomes aware of (a) the initiation of any
legal proceedings against the Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of
the Indenture Trustee is subject, that are material to the Noteholders, (b) any
developments in any such proceedings that are material to the Noteholders and (c) any
such material proceedings that are contemplated by any governmental authority
against the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.14.      Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee
hereby represents that:

 

(a)           the Indenture
Trustee is duly organized and validly existing as a national banking corporation
in good standing under the laws of the United States with power and authority
to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are
currently owned and such business is presently conducted;

 

(b)           the Indenture
Trustee has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Indenture and

corporate action;

 

(c)           the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the fulfillment of the
terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under the articles of association or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee or
any material agreement or other instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a
party or by which it is bound;

 

38

 

(d)           to best of the
Indenture Trustee’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations
pending or threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency
or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Indenture
Trustee or its properties:  (i) asserting
the invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking
any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity
or enforceability of, this Indenture; and

 

(e)           as of the date of
the Underwriting Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus Date, the Prospectus
Date and the Closing Date, there are no legal proceedings pending against the
Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of the Indenture Trustee is
subject, that are material to the Noteholders, and no such legal proceedings
are known to the Indenture Trustee to be contemplated by any governmental
authority against the Indenture Trustee that are material to the Noteholders.

Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuing
Entity of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not

that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar, no such list shall
be required to be furnished.

 

SECTION 7.2.        Preservation of Information; Communications to
Noteholders. (a)  The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in

ARTICLE VIII

Accounts, Disbursements and Releases

 

SECTION 8.1.        Collection of Money. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment
or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without
intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money
and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by
it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or
performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Collateral
and the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without
prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

 

SECTION 8.2.        Trust Accounts. (a)  On or prior
to the Closing Date, the Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer to establish

SECTION 8.3.        General Provisions Regarding Accounts.
(a)  So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Trust Accounts shall be
invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon
Issuing Entity Order, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
All income or other gain from investments of monies deposited in the Trust
Accounts shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account,
and any

 

43

 

loss or
expenses resulting from such investments shall be charged to such account. The
Issuing Entity will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of
any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts unless
the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be
perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case
without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction
to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee
shall not in any way be held liable for the selection of Eligible Investments
or by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from
any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein, except for losses
attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such
Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial
capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their
terms; provided, however, that the limitation to the Indenture Trustee’s liability
does not extend to any actions constituting willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith.

 

(c)           If (i) the
Issuing Entity shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on
deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuing Entity and
the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the
Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or, if such Notes shall
have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts
collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance
with Section 5.4(b) as
if there had not been such a declaration; then the Indenture Trustee shall, to
the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts
in the Eligible Investments identified in clause
(d) of the definition of Eligible Investments.

 

SECTION 8.4.        Release of Trust Estate. (a) 
Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Indenture Trustee
may, and when required by 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 this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed
by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article 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 monies.

 

(b)           The Indenture
Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due
to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7
and the Counterparties under the Interest Rate Swap Agreements have been paid,
release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from
the Lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuing Entity or any other
Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The
Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture
pursuant to this paragraph only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, and (if
required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and
314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section

 

44

 

11.1 or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such
Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such
Independent Certificates.

 

SECTION 8.5.        Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture
Trustee shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuing
Entity to take any action pursuant to Section 8.4(a),
accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee
shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel
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 rights of the Noteholders in
contravention 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
Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent
investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other
instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such
action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such Opinion of
Counsel shall include each Counterparty as an addressee thereof.

 

ARTICLE IX

Supplemental Indentures

 

SECTION 9.1.        Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of
Noteholders.

 

(a)           Without the consent
of the Holders of Notes but with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies,
the Issuing Entity, the Counterparties and the Indenture Trustee, when
authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, at any time and from time to time, may
enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to
the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

 

(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 and confirm unto the
Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the Lien
of this Indenture, or to subject to the Lien of this Indenture additional
property;

 

(ii)           to
evidence the succession, in compliance with the applicable provisions hereof,
of another Person to the Issuing Entity, and the assumption by any such
successor of the covenants of the Issuing Entity herein and in the Notes;

 

(iii)          to
add to the covenants of the Issuing Entity, for the benefit of the Holders of
Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuing
Entity;

 

(iv)          to
convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the
Indenture Trustee;

 

(v)           to
replace the Spread Account with another form of credit enhancement; provided, the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied;

 

45

 

(vi)          to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any
supplemental indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein
or in any supplemental indenture or to make any other provisions with respect
to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
indenture; provided, that such action shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Notes;

 

(vii)         to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a
successor or additional trustee with respect to the Notes or any class thereof
and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than
one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

 

(viii)        to
modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as
shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA
or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this
Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained.

 

(b)           The Issuing Entity
and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, may,
without the consent of any of the Holders of Notes but with prior written
notice to the Rating Agencies and the Counterparties, enter into an indenture
or indentures supplemental hereto to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions in this Indenture or 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 Notes
under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholder. A supplemental indenture
shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Class of Notes if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied
with respect to such supplemental indenture for such Class of Notes.

 

(c)           With respect to any
amendment pursuant to this Section 9.1,
if any amendment or supplement would either: (1) materially and adversely
affect any of the Counterparties’ rights or obligations under an Interest Rate
Swap Agreement or any other Basic Document; or (b) materially and
adversely modify the obligations of, or materially and adversely impact the
ability of, the Trust to fully perform any of the Trust’s obligations under an
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall be
required to first obtain the written consent of the applicable Counterparties
to the affected Interest Rate Swap Agreements before entering into any such amendment
or supplement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

SECTION 9.2.        Supplemental Indentures
With Consent of Noteholders. The Issuing Entity and the
Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuing Entity Order, may, with prior
written notice to the Rating Agencies and the Counterparties and with the
consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by

 

46

 

Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture
Trustee, 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 Notes under this Indenture; provided, however,
that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

 

(i)            delay
the Class Final Scheduled Maturity Date of any Note, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price
with respect thereto 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 or after the respective due dates
thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

 

(ii)           reduce
the percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the consent of the Holders of which
is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders
of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of
this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided
for in this Indenture;

 

(iii)          modify
or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of “Outstanding”;

 

(iv)          reduce
the percentage of the Outstanding Amount required to direct the Indenture
Trustee to direct the Issuing Entity to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
pursuant to Section 5.4;

 

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

 

(vi)          modify
any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the
calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any
Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual
components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes
to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes
contained herein; or

 

(vii)         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 Trust Estate 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 Holder of Notes of the
security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of the Noteholders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of obtaining such consents (and any other

 

47

 

consents of
Noteholders provided for in this Indenture or in any other Basic Document) and
of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders shall
be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may
provide.

 

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

 

With respect to any amendment pursuant to this Section 9.2, if any amendment or
supplement would either: (1) materially and adversely affect any of the
Counterparties’ rights or obligations under an Interest Rate Swap Agreement or
any other Basic Document; or (b) materially and adversely modify the
obligations of, or materially and adversely impact the ability of, the Trust to
fully perform any of the Trust’s obligations under an Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Administrator shall be required to first obtain the written
consent of the applicable Counterparties to the affected Interest Rate Swap
Agreements before entering into any such amendment or supplement (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

SECTION 9.3.        Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In
executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article IX
or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, 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.

 

SECTION 9.4.        Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof,
this Indenture shall be and 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 Issuing Entity and the Holders of
the Notes 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 9.5.        Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every
amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article IX shall
conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as this
Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

 

SECTION 9.6.        Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.
Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Indenture
Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by

 

48

 

the Indenture
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing
Entity, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Issuing Entity and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Notes.

 

SECTION 9.7.        Amendment without Consent. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary (other than as provided in Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.2), any term or provision
of this Agreement may be amended by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture
Trustee without the consent of the Noteholders or any other Person to add,
modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law
or regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the
future in effect); it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

(b)           (i)  Prior to
the deposit of any 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 Issuing Entity shall,
in addition to any

 

50

 

obligation
imposed in Section 11.1(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days after such deposit) to the
Issuing Entity of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so
deposited.

 

(ii)           Whenever
the Issuing Entity is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate described in clause (i),
the Issuing Entity shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuing Entity of
the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited and of all
other such Collateral or other property or securities made the basis of any
such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal
year of the Issuing Entity, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant
to clause (i) and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished
with respect to any Collateral or other property or securities so deposited if
the fair value thereof to the Issuing Entity as set forth in the related
Officer’s Certificate is (A) less than $25,000 or (B) less than one
percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

 

(iii)          Other
than with respect to property as contemplated by clause (v), whenever any Collateral or other property or
securities are to be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuing
Entity 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 fair value (within 90 days after such release) of the Collateral or other
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.

 

(iv)          Whenever
the Issuing Entity is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the
matters described in clause (iii),
the Issuing Entity shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value to the Issuing Entity of
the Collateral or other property or securities and of all other property, other
than property as contemplated by clause (v),
or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the commencement
of the then-current fiscal year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the

otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Equipment as and to the extent
permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments
out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
Documents so long as the Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
every six months, commencing March 1, 2008, an Officer’s Certificate of
the

 

51

 

Issuing Entity stating that all such dispositions of Collateral that
occurred since the execution of the previous such Officer’s Certificate (or for
the first such Officer’s Certificate, since the Closing Date) were in the
ordinary course of the Issuing Entity’s business and that the proceeds thereof
were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION 11.2.      Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered
by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such
matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or
that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person
may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more 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 Issuing
Entity may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based is/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 Seller, the Issuing Entity or the Administrator,
stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the
possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuing Entity or the
Administrator, as applicable, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate,
opinion or representations with respect to such matters is/are erroneous.

 

Where any Person is required or permitted 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,
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing
Entity shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such
application, or as evidence of the Issuing Entity’s compliance with any term
hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting
of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as
the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in
such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuing Entity 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 11.3.      Acts of Noteholders. (a)  Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instrument(s) 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

 

52

 

instrument(s) are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuing Entity. Such instrument(s) (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Noteholders signing such instrument(s). Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

 

(b)           The fact and date of
the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in
any 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 Act by the Holder of any
Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof,
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Note.

 

SECTION 11.4.      Notices, etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Issuing
Entity, Counterparties and Rating Agencies. 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:

 

(a)           the
Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuing Entity, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

 

(b)           the
Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class,
postage prepaid, to the Issuing Entity addressed to:  CNH Equipment Trust 2007-C, in care of
Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration,
(facsimile: (302) 636-4140), and to New Holland Credit Company, LLC, as
Administrator, 33 South Railroad Avenue, New Holland Pennsylvania, 17557,
Attention: Finance Manager, (facsimile: (630) 887-5448); with a copy to: New
Holland Credit Company, LLC, 6900 Veterans Boulevard, Burr Ridge, Illinois
60527, Attention: Assistant Treasurer, (facsimile: (630) 887-5448), or at any
other address or facsimile number previously furnished in writing to the
Indenture Trustee by the Issuing Entity or the Administrator. The Issuing
Entity shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders
to the Indenture Trustee and the Counterparties, or

 

(c)           the
Counterparties by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, hand delivered or sent by overnight courier service or by
telecopy in legible form to the Counterparties addressed to: Barclays Bank PLC,
5 The North Colonnade,

 

53

 

Canary Wharf, London E14 4BB, (facsimile: 44(20) 777 36461) or at any
other address or facsimile number previously furnished in writing to the
Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee by the applicable Counterparty.

 

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing
Entity, the Counterparties, the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee shall be in
writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by facsimile to their respective addresses or facsimile numbers
set forth above or, to the extent not set forth there, as set forth in Section 10.3 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

 

SECTION 11.5.      Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by
such event, 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, it shall
be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is
required to be given pursuant to this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.

 

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

 

SECTION 11.6.      Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the
Issuing Entity 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 or the Notes for such payments or notices. The Issuing Entity will
furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the
Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in
accordance with such agreements.

 

SECTION 11.7.      Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If
any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision
hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by the TIA, such
required provision shall control.

 

54

 

The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.

 

SECTION 11.8.      Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

SECTION 11.9.      Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements
in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuing Entity 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 of
the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 11.10.    Severability. Any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof or of the Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 11.11.    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, the Noteholders, the
Counterparties, the Trustee, any other party secured hereunder and any other
Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 

SECTION 11.12.    Legal Holidays. In any case where the
date 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 Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no
interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

 

SECTION 11.13.    Governing Law. This Indenture shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined
in accordance with such laws.

 

SECTION 11.14.    Counterparts. This Indenture may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.

 

SECTION 11.15.    Recording of Indenture. If this
Indenture is subject to recording in any public recording offices, such
recording is to be effected by the Issuing Entity and, at its expense,
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture
Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to
the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the
Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any
right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

 

55

 

SECTION 11.16.    Trust Obligation. No recourse may be
taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing
Entity, the 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 Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, officer, director, employee or agent of:  (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee
in their individual capacities, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (c) of any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacities) 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 Issuing Entity
hereunder, the Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of,
Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

 

SECTION 11.17.    No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by
entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby
covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Seller
or the Issuing Entity, or solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any
institution against the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any
of the Basic Documents. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the
Indenture Trustee to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with
respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted against the Issuing
Entity by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 11.18.    Inspection. The Issuing Entity agrees
that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuing Entity’s normal business hours, to
examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Issuing Entity, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to
be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the
Issuing Entity’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuing Entity’s
officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to prohibit:  (i) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuing Entity or
Servicer, (ii) disclosure of any and all information:  (A) if required to do so by any
applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government
agency or regulatory or self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to
regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee’s business or that of
its Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand
or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or
arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate or any officer,
director, employee or shareholder thereof is subject, (D) in any
preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or
other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and
approved in advance by the

 

56

 

Issuing Entity
or (E) to any Affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee
or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same; provided, that the Indenture Trustee
advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being
disclosed and such recipient agrees to keep such information confidential, and provided further, that the Indenture
Trustee promptly notifies the Issuing Entity of any disclosure of such
information that it is required to make pursuant to the preceding clause (A), (B) or (C) so that the Issuing Entity may
seek appropriate protective orders or restrictions on the disclosure of the
information involved; (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Issuing
Entity or the Servicer or (iv) disclosure to the other parties to the
transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION 11.19.    Subordination. Issuing Entity and each
Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledge and agree that such Note represents
indebtedness of Issuing Entity and does not represent an interest in any assets
(other than the Trust Estate) of CNHCR (including by virtue of any deficiency
claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust
Estate and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the
foregoing, to the extent CNHCR enters into other securitization transactions,
the Issuing Entity as well as each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledge
and agree that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets
(or interests therein) (other than Trust Estate) conveyed or purported to be
conveyed by CNHCR to another securitization trust 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 subsection, the Issuing
Entity or any Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or
benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through CNHCR or any
other Person owned by CNHCR, 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 insolvency laws or otherwise
(including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the
Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through CNHCR or any
other Person owned by CNHCR, then the Issuing Entity and each Noteholder by
accepting a Note further acknowledge and agree 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 CNHCR 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 insolvency laws,
and whether asserted against CNHCR or any other Person owned by CNHCR),
including, 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 further acknowledges and agrees that no
adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.19 and the terms of this Section 11.19 may be enforced by an
action for specific performance.

 

SECTION 11.20.    Information Requests. The parties
hereto shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Issuing
Entity, Seller or any of their Affiliates, at the expense of the Issuing
Entity, Seller or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, in order to comply

 

57

 

with or obtain
more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule, regulation,
accounting rule or principle.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing
Entity, designated as its Floating Rate Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes
(herein called the “A-2 Notes” or
the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of November 1, 2007 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended,
is herein called the “Indenture”)
between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., not in
its individual capacity but solely as 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 Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders

The Notes, the A-1 Notes, the A-3 Notes and the A-4 Notes are and will
be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor
as provided in the Indenture.

 

The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the A-2 Note Rate to the extent lawful.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against:  (i) the

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
partner, owner or beneficiary.

 

It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other
tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness
of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and
to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any

reorganization or arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any
United States

State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it
is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing
(each a “Benefit Plan”), or (iv) a
governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32)
of ERISA) that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

 

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuing Entity,
designated as its Floating Rate Class A-3b Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the “A-3b Notes” or the “Notes”),
all issued under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2007 (such
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”) between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as 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 Issuing Entity, the
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise
defined herein and that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

 

The Notes, the A-1 Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3a Notes and the A-4
Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

 

The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the A-3b Note Rate to the extent lawful.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against:  (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of:  (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee
in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed 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
partner, owner or beneficiary.

 

It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other
tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness
of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and
to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuing

Entity, or
join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the
Basic Documents.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case
of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it
is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing
(each a “Benefit Plan”), or (iv) a
governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32)
of ERISA) that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

 

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes
of binding the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuing
Entity. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner
by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default
under the Indenture, the Holder and Note Owner shall have no claim against any
of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement

amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Note

that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the March 17, 2014 Payment Date and the Redemption Date,

will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment Date on which
interest has been paid to but excluding the then current Payment Date or, if no
interest has yet been paid, from the date hereof. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the applicable

this Note.

the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth
on the face of this Note.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, or be valid

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuing Entity,
designated as its Floating Rate Class A-4b Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the “A-4b Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued
under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2007 (such Indenture, as
supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”)
between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., not in
its individual capacity but solely as 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 Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or
pursuant to the Indenture.

 

The Notes, the A-1 Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3 Notes and the A-4a
Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

 

The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the A-4b Note Rate to the extent lawful.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against:  (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of:  (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee
in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed 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
partner, owner or beneficiary.

 

It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other
tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as indebtedness
of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in
the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and
to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuing

Entity, or
join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the
Basic Documents.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case
of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it
is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing
(each a “Benefit Plan”), or (iv) a
governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32)
of ERISA) that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

 

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the
Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes
of binding the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuing
Entity. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner
by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default
under the Indenture, the Holder and Note Owner shall have no claim against any
of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the
Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings
contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing
Entity, designated as its 6.19% Class B Asset Backed Notes (herein called
the “Class B Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of November 1,
2007 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”) between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as 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 Issuing Entity, the
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all
terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise
defined herein and that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

 

The Class B Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by
the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, but
the interest of the Class B Noteholders in such collateral is subordinated
and second to the rights of the Class A Noteholders.

 

The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the Class B Note Rate to the extent lawful.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or
under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection
therewith, against:  (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of:  (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee
in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any
successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed 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 partner, owner or beneficiary.

 

It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the
Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other
tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as
indebtedness of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a
Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees
to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes
for such tax purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Seller or the Issuing

 

5

 

Entity, or join in any institution against
the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

 

No transfer of this Note shall be made unless such transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to
be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, there shall
be delivered to the Issuing Entity and to the Indenture Trustee a letter in
substantially the form of Exhibit C (the “Rule 144A Letter”) to
the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else herein,
any transfer of the Class B Notes to the Depositor, the Originator or any
of their Affiliates on the Closing Date, and any transfer from any of such
entities to its Affiliate, and any transfer from any such entity to an initial
purchaser(s) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements,
will not require the delivery of a Rule 144A Letter and may be made
regardless of whether such entity is a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in the Securities Act. Each Holder of a Class B Note desiring to
effect such transfer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity,
the Seller and the Servicer 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.

 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case
of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it
is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any
entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing
(each a “Benefit Plan”), or (iv) a
governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32)
of ERISA) that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the
purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will not
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

 

The Class B Notes are initially issued only as registered
Definitive Notes without coupons in denominations specified in the Indenture.

 

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, neither The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be

personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of

indemnifications have been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes
of binding the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuing
Entity. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner
by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default
under the Indenture, the Holder and Note Owner shall have no claim against any
of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be

manner with respect to the Notes, (f) we are a “qualified institutional buyer”

Schedule P

 

1.             General. The Indenture
creates, or with respect to the Receivables that are Subsequent Receivables
upon the transfer of such Subsequent Receivables pursuant to the Subsequent
Transfer Assignment will create, a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in all of the Issuing Entity’s right, title and
interest in, to and under (i) the Receivables, (ii) the Liquidity Receivables
Purchase Agreement (only with respect to Owned Contracts), (iii) the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (including all rights of the Seller under the Liquidity
Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Purchase Agreement assigned to the
Issuing Entity pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement), and (iv) the
Interest Rate Swap Agreements, in each case, in favor of the Indenture Trustee,
which, (a) security interest is enforceable upon execution of the Indenture
against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuing Entity as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws, now or
hereafter in effect, and by general principles of equity (whether considered in
a suit at law or in equity), and (b) upon filing of the financing statements
described in clause 4 below will
be prior to all other Liens.

 

2.             Characterization. The
Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. The rights granted under
the agreements described in clause 1(ii)
through (iv) constitute “general intangibles”
within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.
The Issuing Entity has taken or will take all steps necessary to perfect its
security interest in the property securing the Receivables within 10 days of
the Closing Date.

 

3.             Creation. Immediately prior
to the grant to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuing
Entity owns and has good and marketable title to, or has a valid security
interest in, the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance
of any Person.

 

4.             Perfection. The Issuing
Entity has caused or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, 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 granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in the
Receivables. With respect to the Collateral that constitutes tangible chattel
paper, the Servicer or a Subservicer, as custodian, received possession of such
tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written
acknowledgment (which is contained in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) from
such custodian that it is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee. All
financing statements filed under this clause 4
contain a statement that “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral
described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured
Party”.

 

5.             Priority. Other than the
security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture,
the Issuing Entity has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuing Entity has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against
the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the
Collateral other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security
interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, (ii) that has
been terminated or relating to a security interest which has been released, or
(iii) that has been granted pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents. None
of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or

 

1

 

evidences the
Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have pledged,
assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. The
Issuing Entity is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against
it.

 

6.             Survival of Perfection
Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or
any other Basic Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this
Schedule P shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (other than
with respect to Reacquired Receivables);

 

7.             No Waiver. The parties to
the Indenture:  (i) shall not, without
obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive a
material breach of any of the representations and warranties in this Schedule P
(the “Perfection Representations”); (ii) shall
provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any material breach
of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any
adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive
a material breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

 

8.             Servicer to Maintain Perfection
and Priority. The Servicer covenants that, in order to evidence the
interests of Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement,
Servicer shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may
be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are
requested by Issuing Entity) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority
interest, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Receivables. Servicer
shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare
and present to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee to authorize the
Servicer to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial
financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial
terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or
advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security
interest in the Receivables as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). Issuing Entity shall promptly authorize in writing
Servicer to, and Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform
Commercial Code without the signature of the Indenture Trustee or Issuing
Entity where allowed by applicable law.

ARTICLE II

Organization

 

SECTION 2.1                          Name. The Trust created hereby shall be known as “CNH Equipment

make and execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Trust and sue
and be sued.

 

SECTION 2.2                          Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Trustee may
designate by written notice to the Certificateholders and the Depositor.

 

SECTION 2.3                          Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is,
and the Trust shall have the power and authority to, engage in the following
activities:

 

(a)                          to issue
the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Trust Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement and to sell the Notes and/or the Trust Certificates in one or more
transactions;

 

(b)                         with the
proceeds of the sale of the Notes and/or the Trust Certificates, to fund the
Pre-Funding Account and to purchase the Receivables pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement;

 

(c)                          to
assign, Grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant
to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement any portion of the Trust Estate
released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the
Indenture;

 

(d)                         to enter
into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is to be
a party;

 

(e)                          to
engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are
necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental
thereto or connected therewith; and

 

(f)                            subject
to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as
may be required in connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the
making of distributions to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders.

 

The Trust
shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or
other than as required or authorized by this Agreement or the Basic Documents. The
Trust shall have no power to hold any derivative financial instrument unless
such derivative financial instrument complies with the requirements of
paragraph 40 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board for “qualifying special purpose
entities” (“FAS 140”), including any interpretations thereof or any successor
standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Trustee shall
have no obligation to determine whether or not any derivative financial
instrument complies with FAS 140.

 

2

 

SECTION 2.4                          Appointment of Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints
Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee of the Trust effective as of the date
hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.

 

SECTION 2.5                          Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. The Depositor hereby
contributes to the Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1.00. The
Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date
hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Trust
Estate and shall be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account. The
Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or
shall, upon the request of the Trustee, promptly reimburse the Trustee for any
such expenses paid by the Trustee. The Depositor may also take steps necessary,
including the execution and filing of any necessary filings, to ensure that the
Trust is in compliance with any applicable State securities law.

 

SECTION 2.6                          Declaration of Trust. The Trustee hereby declares
that it will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions
set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to
the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Trust
Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such
statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for
income and franchise tax purposes, until the Trust Certificates are held by a
Person other than the Depositor, the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate
from the Depositor and the Notes be treated as debt of the Depositor. At such
time that the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax
purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the
partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the
partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders (including the
Depositor (or its successor in interest) in its capacity as recipient of
distributions from the Spread Account), and the Notes being debt of the
partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate
tax authorities, until the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person
the Trust will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns,
reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as an
entity separate from the Depositor (or other sole owner of the Trust
Certificates). Effective as of the date hereof, the Trustee shall have all
rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Trust Statute with
respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. The Trustee shall file a
Certificate of Trust on behalf of the Trust with the Secretary of State
pursuant to Section 3810 of the Trust Statute.

 

SECTION 2.7                          Liability of the Certificateholders. No Certificateholder shall have
any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust. The
Certificateholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of corporations under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

 

SECTION 2.8                          Title to Trust Property. Subject to the Lien granted in
the Indenture, legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times
in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any
jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a
trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the
Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

 

3

 

SECTION 2.9                          Situs of Trust. The Trust will be
located and administered in the States of Delaware and Pennsylvania and/or in
any other states to which the Depositor consents in writing. All bank accounts
maintained by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State
of Delaware or New York and/or in any other states to which the Depositor
consents in writing. The Trust shall not have any employees. Payments will be
received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York and/or in any other states
to which the Depositor consents in writing and payments will be made by the
Trust only from Delaware or New York and/or in any other states to which the
Depositor consents in writing.

 

SECTION 2.10                    Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the date
hereof:

 

(a)                          The
Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and
authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties
are currently owned and such business is presently conducted.

 

(b)                         The
Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability
company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and
approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or
the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications.

 

(c)                          The
Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and
assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and
the Depositor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the
Trust by all necessary limited liability company action; and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor
by all necessary limited liability company action.

 

(d)                         The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of
any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or
lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of formation, limited liability
company agreement or by-laws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or
other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument
(other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); or violate any law or, to the
best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to
the Depositor of any court or of any federal or State regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction
over the Depositor or its properties.

 

(e)                          The
Depositor has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the

 

4

 

enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

SECTION 2.11                    Federal Income Tax Allocations; Tax Treatment.
If the Trust Certificates and interests in the Spread Account are held by more
than one Person, this Agreement shall be amended to include such provisions as
are required or appropriate under Subchapter K of the Code in order for the
Trust to be treated as a partnership whose partners are the beneficial owners
of the Trust Certificates and the Depositor (or other holders of interests in
the Spread Account).

 

ARTICLE III

Trust Certificates and Transfer of Interests

 

SECTION 3.1                          Initial Ownership. Upon the
formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, and until the issuance of the
Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust;
and upon the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor will no longer
be a beneficiary of the Trust, except to the extent that the Depositor is a
Certificateholder.

 

SECTION 3.2                          The Trust Certificates. The Trust
Certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall
be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an
authorized officer of the Trustee. Trust Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be,
when authenticated pursuant to Section 3.3,
validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication
and delivery of such Trust Certificates.

 

SECTION 3.3                          Authentication of Trust Certificates.
Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificate
evidencing the 100% beneficial interest in the Trust to be executed on behalf
of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the
Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any vice
president, any secretary, any assistant secretary, any treasurer, or any
assistant treasurer, without further action by the Depositor. No Trust
Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or
shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories; such certificate of authentication shall constitute
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Trust Certificate shall
have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates
shall be dated the date of their authentication. No further Trust Certificates
shall be issued except pursuant to Section
3.4 or 3.5 hereunder.

 

SECTION 3.4                          Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust
Certificates. The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section
3.8, a register (the “Certificate
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Trust shall provide for the registration of Trust
Certificates and of transfers and

 

5

 

exchanges of
Trust Certificates. The Paying Agent shall be the  “Certificate
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Trust Certificates and the
transfers of Trust Certificates as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor or, if
it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Certificate
Registrar. The initial Trust Certificate shall be registered in the name of “CNH Capital Receivables LLC” as the
initial registered owner thereof.

 

Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.8,
the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates
evidencing such transferee’s beneficial interest in the Trust, which Trust
Certificates will be issued in amounts equal, in the aggregate, to the
percentage of beneficial interest in the Trust transferred by such transferor.

 

At the option
of a Certificateholder, upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section
3.8, a Trust Certificate may be exchanged for a new Trust
Certificate evidencing the same percentage of beneficial interest in the Trust
as the Trust Certificate so exchanged. Whenever any Trust Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver
the Trust Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

 

All Trust
Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust
Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the
Trust Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

Every Trust
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by, the Certificateholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be registered unless the
transferee shall have provided (i) if the transferee is not the Seller or an
Affiliate of the Seller and the transferor is not the Seller or an Affiliate of
the Seller, an opinion of counsel that no registration is required under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable State laws, and (ii) if the
transferee is the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, an Officer’s
Certificate as to compliance with Section
6.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Each Trust Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and
subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
practice.

 

No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates.

 

The Trust
Certificates and any beneficial interest in such Trust Certificates may not be
acquired by: (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA)
that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets
include plan assets of any of the foregoing (each a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding a Trust Certificate
or an interest therein, the Certificateholder

 

6

 

thereof shall
be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. The
Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not a
Certificateholder of a Trust Certificate is or is not a Benefit Plan.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer of a Trust Certificate or
beneficial interest therein shall be allowed, and any such purported transfer
shall be void ab initio, if such
transfer would cause the Trust to have more than 100 partners within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(1). For purposes of
determining the number of partners in the Trust under Treasury Regulation
section 1.7704-1(h)(1), a person owning an interest in a partnership, grantor
trust, or S corporation (a “flow-through
entity”) that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities,
an interest in the Trust, will be treated as a partner in the Trust if more
than 50 percent of the value of such person’s interest in the flow-through
entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or
indirect) in the Trust.

 

No transfer
(or purported transfer) of a Trust Certificate (or any beneficial interest
therein), whether to another Certificateholder or to a person who is not a
Certificateholder, shall be effective, and any such transfer (or purported
transfer) shall be void ab initio,
and no person shall otherwise become a Certificateholder, and none of the
Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any of the Certificateholders
will recognize such transfer (or purported transfer), unless the transferee has
first represented and warranted in writing to the Trust that:

 

(A)                              it
is acquiring the Trust Certificate for its own account and is the sole
beneficial owner of such Trust Certificate;

 

(B)                                the
transfer is not being effected on or through (x) an “established securities
market” within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(1) of the Code, including without
limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that
regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (y) a “secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section
7704(a)(2) of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations
thereunder; and

 

(C)                                such
transfer will not cause the Trust to be classified as a publicly traded
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such purchaser or
transferee will not take any action, including any subsequent disposition of
such Trust Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein), that would cause
the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

 

SECTION 3.5                          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust
Certificates. If:  (a) any
mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar,
or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate (provided, that the
Trustee shall not be required to verify the evidence provided to it), and (b)
there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate shall have been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a replacement Trust
Certificate

 

7

 

evidencing the
same percentage of beneficial interest in the Trust as the Trust Certificate so
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.

 

In connection
with the issuance of any replacement Trust Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment by the
Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

 

Any
replacement Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate shall constitute
conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether
or not the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be
found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.6                          Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior
to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer of any
Trust Certificate, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name any Trust Certificate shall be registered in the
Certificate Register (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be
bound by any notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 3.7                          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and
Addresses. The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Servicer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Trustee of
a request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list, in
such form as the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If
three or more Certificateholders evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25%
of the beneficial interest in the Trust apply in writing to the Trustee, and
such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under
the Trust Certificates and such application shall be accompanied by a copy of
the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford
such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of
Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust
Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

 

SECTION 3.8                          Maintenance of Office or Agency. The
Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Trust
Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Trustee initially
designates its Corporate Trust Office as its principal corporate trust office
for such purposes. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor and to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the
Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

 

SECTION 3.9                          Appointment of Paying Agent. The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section

 

8

 

5.2 and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power
to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of
making the distributions referred to above. The Trustee may revoke such power
and remove the Paying Agent if the Trustee determines in its sole discretion
that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this
Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the
Indenture Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by and acceptable to the
Trustee. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30
days’ written notice to the Trustee. In the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall not be the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as
Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Trustee shall cause
such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent (other than the Indenture
Trustee or the Trustee as Paying Agent) shall agree with the Trustee that as
Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold
all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be
paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed
funds to the Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.1 shall apply to the Indenture Trustee
or Trustee to the extent the Indenture Trustee or Trustee is a Paying Agent,
for so long as the Indenture Trustee or Trustee, as applicable, shall act as
Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include
any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

 

ARTICLE IV

Actions by Trustee

 

SECTION 4.1                          Prior Notice to Certificateholders With Respect to
Certain Matters. With respect to the following matters, the
Trustee shall not take action unless, at least 30 days before the taking of
such action (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to in writing by all
Certificateholders), the Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in
writing of the proposed action and the Certificateholders shall not have
notified the Trustee in writing prior to the 30th day (or such agreed upon
shorter period) after such notice is given that such Certificateholders have
withheld consent or shall not have provided alternative direction:

initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Trust (except claims or lawsuits
brought in connection with the collection of the Receivables) and the
compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Trust
(except with respect to the aforementioned claims or lawsuits for collection of
Receivables);

 

(b)                         the
amendment of the Indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder
is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of
the Certificateholders;

 

(c)                          the
amendment, change or modification of the Administration Agreement, except to
cure any ambiguity or to amend or supplement any provision in a

 

9

 

manner, or add any provision,
that would not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders; or

 

(d)                         the
appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Note Registrar, Paying
Agent or Indenture Trustee, or pursuant to this Agreement of a successor
Certificate Registrar (other than the Trustee), or the consent to the
assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee or
Certificate Registrar (other than to the Trustee) of its obligations under the
Indenture or this Agreement, as applicable.

 

SECTION 4.2                          Action By Certificateholders With Respect to
Certain Matters. The Trustee shall not have the power, except
upon the direction of the Certificateholders, to: (a) remove the
Administrator under the Administration Agreement, (b) appoint a successor
Administrator, (c) remove the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; or (d) except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents,
sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The Trustee shall
take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written
instructions signed by the Certificateholders.

 

SECTION 4.3                          Action By Certificateholders With Respect to
Bankruptcy. The Trustee shall not have the power to commence a
voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Trust (i) until one year and
one day after the Outstanding Amount of all the Notes has been reduced to zero
and (ii) without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders and
(iii) without the delivery to the Trustee by each such Certificateholder of a
certificate certifying that such Certificateholder reasonably believes that the
Trust is insolvent.

 

SECTION 4.4                          Restrictions on Certificateholders’ Power.
The Certificateholders shall not direct the Trustee to take or refrain from
taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any
obligation of the Trust or the Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic
Documents or would be contrary to Section
2.3, nor shall the Trustee be obligated to follow any such
direction, if given.

 

SECTION 4.5                          Majority Control. Except as
expressly provided herein, any action that may be taken by the
Certificateholders under this Agreement may be taken by the Certificateholders
holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the beneficial interest in the Trust
at the time of such action. Except as expressly provided herein, any written
notice of the Certificateholders delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be
effective if signed by Certificateholders holding in the aggregate more than
50% of the beneficial interest in the Trust at the time of such action.

 

ARTICLE V

Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties

 

SECTION 5.1                          Establishment of Trust Account. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent on the Trust’s behalf, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an
Eligible Deposit Account (the “Certificate
Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

 

10

 

The Trust
shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time
to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Certificate Distribution
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee or the
Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the
Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent on the Trust’s behalf (or the Depositor on behalf
of the Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by the
initial Paying Agent or the Trustee or an affiliate thereof) shall, within 10
Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to
which the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied), establish a new
Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall
transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution
Account.

 

SECTION 5.2                          Applications of Trust Funds.

 

(a)                          On each
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee (if any Notes are Outstanding or amounts
are still due to the Counterparties) or the Trustee (if the Notes and all
payments to the Counterparties have been paid in full) will distribute to
Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts deposited in the Certificate
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.6
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)                         On each
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee shall send to each
Certificateholder the statement provided to the Indenture Trustee or the
Trustee, as applicable, by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)                          In the
event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or
allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount
otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this
Section. The Indenture Trustee and the Trustee, as applicable, are hereby
authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally
owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture
Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding
tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash
distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust.
If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a
distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion,
withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust shall withhold and pay over to
the Internal Revenue Service, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442 and 1446 of the
Code (or any successor provisions or any other provision as may be enacted into
law), at such times as required by such provisions, such amounts as the Trust
is required to withhold under such provision on account of any foreign
Certificateholder’s distributive share of income of the Trust, as if the entire
amount of such foreign Certificateholder’s distributive share of such income is
subject to withholding tax pursuant to such provisions. To the extent that a
foreign Certificateholder claims to be

 

11

 

entitled to a reduced rate of, or exemption
from, U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, or
otherwise, such foreign Certificateholder shall furnish the Depositor and the
Trustee with such information and forms as it may require and are necessary to
comply with the regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax
agents, which the Depositor may forward to the Indenture Trustee. Each foreign
Certificateholder represents and warrants that any such information and form
furnished by it shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Trust
and each of the other Certificateholders from any and all damages, costs and
expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or
forms relating to such withholding taxes. In the event that a Certificateholder
wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall reasonably cooperate with such
Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees
to reimburse the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

 

SECTION 5.3                          Method of Payment. Subject to
Section 9.1(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any
Payment Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding
Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the
account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the
Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business
Days prior to such Payment Date and such Certificateholder’s Trust Certificates
aggregate not less than $1,000,000, or, if not, by check mailed to such
Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register.

 

SECTION 5.4                          No Segregation of Monies; No Interest.
Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, monies received by the Trustee or the Paying
Agent hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent
required by law or the Sale and Servicing Agreement and may be deposited under
such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Trustee or the
Paying Agent, as applicable, shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

 

SECTION 5.5                          Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders,
Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The
Depositor or, if any Trust Certificates are held by any Person other than the
Depositor or its Affiliate, the Trustee, shall: (a) maintain (or cause to be
maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis on the accrual
method of accounting, (b) deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required
by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be
required (including Schedule K-1, if applicable) to enable each
Certificateholder to prepare its federal, State and local income tax returns,
(c) file such tax returns relating to the Trust (including, if applicable, a
partnership information return on Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 or its
successor), and make such elections as may from time to time be required or
appropriate under any applicable State or federal statute or rule or regulation
thereunder so as to maintain the Trust’s characterization as a disregarded
entity or partnership for federal income tax purposes, as applicable, (d) cause
such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (e) collect or
cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance
with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to
include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to
the Receivables and shall elect under

 

12

 

Section 171 of
the Code to amortize any bond premium with respect to the Receivables. The
Trustee shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code.

 

SECTION 5.6                          Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner.

 

(a)                          The
Depositor, or if any Trust Certificates are held by any Person other than the
Depositor, the Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the
Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such
documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by such
Certificateholder.

 

(b)                         In the
event the Trust is characterized as a partnership, in accordance with Section
2.6, the Depositor shall be designated the “tax matters partner” of the Trust
pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations.

 

ARTICLE VI

Authority and Duties of Trustee

 

SECTION 6.1                          General Authority. The Trustee is
authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the
Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an
exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a
party, in each case in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced
conclusively by the Trustee’s execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Trust,
to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes in the
aggregate principal amount specified in a letter of instruction from the
Depositor to the Trustee. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee is
authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the
Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Trustee is further authorized from
time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends with respect
to the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION 6.2                          General Duties. It shall be the duty
of the Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its
responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which
the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the
Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic
Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration
Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trustee hereunder
or under any Basic Document, and the Trustee shall not be held liable for the
default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the
Administration Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.3                          Action upon Instruction.

 

(a)                          Subject
to Article IV and in
accordance with the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written
instruction direct the Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction
may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders
pursuant to Article IV.

 

(b)                         The
Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic
Document if the Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been

 

13

 

advised by counsel, that such
action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee or is
contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary
to law.

 

(c)                          Whenever
the Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted
or required by this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Trustee shall promptly
give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to
the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be
adopted, and to the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with
any written instruction of the Certificateholders received, the Trustee shall
not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Trustee shall not
have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within
such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or
may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty
to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such
action or inaction.

 

(d)                         In the
event that the Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this
Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its
application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable
provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the
Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the
Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the
Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the
circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the
extent that the Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in
accordance with any such instruction received, the Trustee shall not be liable,
on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Trustee shall not
have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within
such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or
may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty
to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such
action or inaction.

 

SECTION 6.4                          No Duties Except as Specified in This Agreement or
in Instructions. The Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell,
dispose of or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or
refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document
contemplated hereby to which the Trustee is a party, except as expressly
provided by this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3;
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any
Basic Document against the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security
interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities
and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any
Basic Document. The Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost
and expense, promptly take all action

 

14

 

as may be
necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate arising by,
through or under the Trustee (including in its individual capacity) which are
unrelated to the administration or ownership of the Trust Estate.

 

Further,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other document, the
Trustee shall not be required to execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the
Trust, the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person any filings,
certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Notwithstanding any Person’s right to instruct the
Trustee, neither the Trustee nor any agent, employee, director or officer of
the Trustee shall have any obligation to execute any certificates or other
documents required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the refusal to
comply with any such instructions shall not constitute a default or breach
under this Agreement or any other document in connection herewith.

 

SECTION 6.5                          No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The
Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with
any part of the Trust Estate except: (i) in accordance with the powers granted
to and the authority conferred upon the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
(ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any
document or instruction delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

 

SECTION 6.6                          Restrictions. The Trustee shall not
take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set
forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that,
to the actual knowledge of the Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders
shall not direct the Trustee to take action that would violate this Section.

 

ARTICLE VII

Concerning the Trustee

 

SECTION 7.1                          Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The
Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder
with respect to such trusts but only upon the terms of this Agreement. The
Trustee also agrees to disburse all monies actually received by it constituting
part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents and this
Agreement. The Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable hereunder or
under any Basic Document under any circumstances, except: (i) for its own
willful misconduct or negligence or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty contained in Section
7.3 expressly made by the Trustee. In particular, but not by way of
limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence):

 

(a)                          the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
responsible officer of the Trustee unless it is proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(b)                         the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Administrator, the
Servicer or any Certificateholder;

 

15

(c)                          no
provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under any Basic
Document, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured or provided to it;

 

(d)                         under no
circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or
arising under any of the Basic Documents, including the principal of and
interest on the Notes;

 

(e)                          the
Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or
for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of
the Trust Estate or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the
Basic Documents, other than the certificate of authentication on the Trust
Certificates, and the Trustee shall in no event assume or incur any liability,
duty or obligation to any Noteholder or to any Certificateholder, other than as
expressly provided for herein and in the Basic Documents;

 

(f)                            the
Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrator,
the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer under any of the Basic
Documents or otherwise and the Trustee shall have no obligation or liability to
perform the obligations of the Trust under this Agreement or the Basic Documents
that are required to be performed by the Administrator under the Administration
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Servicer under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(g)                         the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement
or any Basic Document, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders
unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
may be incurred by the Trustee therein or thereby. The right of the Trustee to
perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any Basic
Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be
answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act.

 

SECTION 7.2                          Furnishing of Documents. The Trustee
shall furnish to the Certificateholders promptly upon receipt of a written
request therefor, and at the expense of the Certificateholders, duplicates or
copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements
and any other instruments furnished to the Trustee under the Basic Documents.

 

16

Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, that as of the date hereof (other than with respect to
Section 7.3(e), which is as of the dates specified therein):

banking corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware, with the requisite corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement,

 

(b)                         it has
taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by

its behalf,

 

(c)                          the

contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Trustee, or to the best of its
knowledge without independent investigation any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; or violate
any federal or State law governing the banking or trust powers of the Trustee;
or, to the best of the Trustee’s knowledge, violate any order, rule or
regulation applicable to the Trustee of any court or of any federal or State
regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality
having jurisdiction over the Trustee or its properties,

 

(d)                         this
Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor,
constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable
against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law, and

 

(e)                          as of
the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus Date, the
Prospectus Date and the Closing Date, to its knowledge without independent
investigation, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Trustee, or
of which any property of the Trustee is subject, that are material to the
Noteholders, and to the knowledge of the Trustee no such legal proceedings are
contemplated by any governmental authority.

 

SECTION 7.4                          Information to be Provided by the Trustee.
The Trustee shall notify the Depositor promptly after the Trustee becomes aware

SECTION 7.5                          Reliance; Advice of Counsel. (a)
Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
7.1, the Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon
any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper (whether in its original
or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed
by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may accept a certified copy of a
resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any party as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and
that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method
of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president, any vice president, any treasurer, any assistant treasurer, any
secretary, any assistant secretary or other authorized officers of the relevant
party as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full
protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in reliance thereon.

 

(b)                         In the
exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of
its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the
Trustee: (i) may act directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to
agreements entered into with any of them, and the Trustee shall not be liable
for the conduct or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or
attorneys shall have been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care, and
(ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be
selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The Trustee shall not be
liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance
with the written opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other
such Persons and which opinion or advice states that such action is not
contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

 

SECTION 7.6                          Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except
as provided in this Article VII,
in accepting the trusts hereby created Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any
claim against the Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any Basic Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment
or satisfaction thereof.

 

SECTION 7.7                          Trustee Not Liable For Trust Certificates or
Receivables. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust
Certificates (other than the signature and counter-signature of the Trustee on
the Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement,
of any Basic Document, of the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature, if any, of the Trustee on the Trust Certificates) or of the
Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Trustee shall at no time
have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality,
validity and enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority
of any security interest created by any Receivable in any of the Financed
Equipment or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate
the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement or
the Noteholders under the Indenture, including: (a) the existence, condition
and ownership of any Financed Equipment, (b) the existence and enforceability
of any insurance thereon, (c) the existence and contents of any Receivable on
any computer or other record thereof, (d) the validity of the assignment of any

 

18

 

Receivable to the Trust or of
any intervening assignment, (e) the completeness of any Receivable, (f) the
performance or enforcement of any Receivable, and (g) the compliance by the
Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under any
Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty
or representation or any action of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or
the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.8                          Trustee May Not Own Notes. The
Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity,
become the owner or pledgee of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the Issuing
Entity. The Trustee may otherwise deal with the Depositor, the Administrator,
the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer with the same rights as it would have if
it were not the Trustee.

 

ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.1                          Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The
Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as
have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Depositor
and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the
Depositor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives,
experts and counsel as the Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise
and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder.

any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions
and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever
(collectively, “Expenses”), which
may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or
any other Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Trust Estate, the administration of the
Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Trustee hereunder, except only
that the Depositor shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an
Indemnified Party from and against Expenses arising or resulting from: (a) such
Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or negligence, (b) with respect to the
Trustee, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by the Trustee
or (c) any tax imposed on an Indemnified Party based on, measured by or with respect
to the net or gross income, capital or net worth, gross or net receipts,
franchise, excess profits or conduct of business by such Indemnified Party
(including, but not limited to, taxes imposed on, measured by, or with respect
to any fees or compensation received by the Trustee hereunder). The indemnities
contained in this Section shall survive the resignation or termination of the
Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action
or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the
Depositor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

19

 

SECTION 8.3                          Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts
paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Article
VIII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate
immediately after such payment. The Trustee shall also be entitled to interest
on all fees and expenses that are due and unpaid for more than sixty (60) days
after they have been billed to the party responsible for the payment of such
amounts at a rate equal to the rate publicly announced by Wilmington Trust
Company as its prime rate from time to time.

 

ARTICLE IX

Termination of Trust Agreement

 

SECTION 9.1                          Termination of Trust Agreement. (a)
The Trust shall dissolve upon the final distribution by the Trustee of all
monies or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the
Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Article V. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not: (x) operate to dissolve
or terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (y) entitle such
Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all
or any part of the Trust or Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

 

(b)                         Except as
provided in Section 9.1(a), neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder
shall be entitled to dissolve, revoke or terminate the Trust; provided  however,
for the sake of clarity, no action is necessary by the Depositor, the
Certificateholder or any other Person as a prerequisite for a dissolution under
Section 9.1(a) to occur.

 

(c)                          Notice
of any anticipated dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon
which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust Certificates to the
Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be
given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within
five Business Days of receipt of notice of such anticipated dissolution from
the Servicer given pursuant to Section
9.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such notice from the
Trustee shall state: (i) the Payment Date upon which final payment of the Trust
Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Trust
Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the
amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the
Paying Agent therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the
Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the
time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and
surrender of the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be
distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date
pursuant to Section 5.2.

 

In the event
that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Trust Certificates
for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above
mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the
remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Trust Certificates for
cancellation and to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all the Trust Certificates shall not
have

 

20

 

been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Trust Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain
subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of
such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Depositor.

 

(d)                         Upon the
dissolution of the Trust and the payment of all liabilities of the Trust in
accordance with applicable law, the Trustee shall cause the Certificate of
Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary
of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 (or successor
section) of the Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement
(other than Article VIII) shall
terminate.

 

ARTICLE X

Successor Trustees and Additional Trustees

 

SECTION 10.1                    Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee shall at all times: 
(a) be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 26(a)(1)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (b) be authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers, (c) have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or
State authorities, and (d) have (or have a parent that has) a rating of at
least “Baa3” by Moody’s. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. At all times, at least one Trustee of the Trust shall
satisfy the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Trust Statute. In case at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this
Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 10.2.

 

SECTION 10.2                    Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

 

(a)                          The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. Other
than such instrument, and as provided in Section 10.2(b) and 10.3 below, no
other documentation or action shall be required, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in the Basic Documents, no consent shall be required
of any Person with respect to such appointment or entering into any such
agreement, and the amendment provisions hereof will not apply to such
instrument. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the
Administrator any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

 

21

 

If at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the
Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Trustee. If the
Administrator shall remove the Trustee under the authority of the preceding
sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the outgoing Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
Trustee, and pay all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee. Other than such
instrument, and as provided in Section 10.2(b) and 10.3 below, no other
documentation or action shall be required, and notwithstanding anything herein
or in the Basic Documents to the contrary, no consent shall be required of any
Person with respect to such appointment or entering into any such agreement,
and the amendment provisions hereof will not apply to such instrument.

 

(b)                         Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to
the outgoing Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies and the
Counterparties.

 

SECTION 10.3                    Successor Trustee. Any successor
Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this
Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like
effect as if originally named as the Trustee. Such instrument shall identify
the situs of the Trust, locations where payments will be made and/or received,
and where bank accounts will be maintained for purposes of Section 2.9 hereof,
if such locations are to change following such appointment. As of the effective
date of such instrument, Section 2.9 hereof shall be read to include such
locations identified in such instrument. The predecessor Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Trustee all documents
and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the
Administrator and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.

 

No successor
Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

 

Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Administrator shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders,
the Indenture Trustee, the Counterparties, the Noteholders and the Rating
Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

 

22

 

Any successor
Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust as required by the
Statutory Trust Act.

 

SECTION 10.4                    Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any
corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder;
provided, such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1, without the execution or
filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; and provided further,
that the Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the
Rating Agencies and the Counterparties.

 

SECTION 10.5                    Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust or any Financed Equipment may at the time be located, the
Administrator and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and may
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Person(s) approved
by the Trustee to act as co-trustee(s), jointly with the Trustee, or separate
trustee(s), of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such
Person(s), in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such
title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts
as the Administrator and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If
the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee pursuant to Section 10.1
and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required pursuant to Section 10.3.

 

Each separate
trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

 

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

 

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

 

23

 

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

 

Any notice,
request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as
if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the
conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy
thereof given to the Administrator.

 

Any separate
trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as 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 Agreement on its behalf
and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to
the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.

 

The Trustee
shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee
is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate
may be located.

 

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

 

SECTION 11.1                    Supplements and Amendments. Any term
or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Trustee
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuing
Entity or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following
conditions:

 

(i)                                     the
Depositor delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect
that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of
the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; or

 

(ii)                                  the
Depositor delivers an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor to the Indenture
Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders.

 

An amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Noteholders of a Class of Notes if the Rating
Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment for such
Class of Notes.

 

This Agreement
may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee, with
prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and the Counterparties, with the
written consent of (x) Noteholders holding Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the Note Balance and (y) the Certificateholders holding in the aggregate
more than 50% of the beneficial

 

24

 

interest in
the Trust at the time of such action, for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall: (a) reduce the interest or principal of any Note
or Certificate or delay the Final Scheduled Maturity Date of any Note or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount and the beneficial
interest in the Trust required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes and Trust Certificates.

 

Notwithstanding
the above, the permitted activities of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 may not be significantly
amended without the consent of Noteholders, other than the Seller and its
Affiliates as Noteholders, evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes held by parties exclusive of the Seller and its Affiliates.

 

Promptly after
the execution of any such amendment or consent (or, in the case of the Rating
Agencies and the Counterparties, prior thereto), the Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each
Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, each of the Rating Agencies and the
Counterparties.

 

It shall not
be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and
any other consents of Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement or in
any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements
as the Trustee may prescribe.

 

Promptly after
the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Trustee shall
cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.

 

Prior to the
execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this
Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of
such amendment has been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

With respect
to any amendment pursuant to this Section 11.1,
if any amendment or supplement would either: (a) materially and adversely
affect any of the Counterparties’ rights or obligations under an Interest Rate
Swap Agreement or any other Basic Document; or (b) materially and adversely
modify the obligations of, or materially and adversely impact the ability of,
the Trust to fully perform any of the Trust’s obligations under an Interest
Rate Swap Agreement, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall be required to
first obtain the written consent of the applicable Counterparties to the affected
Interest Rate Swap Agreements before entering into any such amendment or
supplement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

25

 

SECTION 11.2                    No Legal Title To Trust Estate in Certificateholders.
The Certificateholders shall not have legal title to any part of the Trust
Estate. The Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with
respect to their undivided ownership interest therein only in accordance with Articles V and IX. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any
right, title or interest of the Certificateholders in, to and under their
ownership interest in the Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this
Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or
to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Estate.

 

SECTION 11.3                    Limitations on Rights of Others. The
provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders, the Administrator and, to the extent
expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee, the Counterparties and the
Noteholders, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall
be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim in the Trust Estate or under or in respect of this Agreement or any
covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein.

litigation with claims in excess of $1,000,000 to which the Depositor is a
party that shall be reasonably likely to result in a material judgment against

not be less than the amount of actual damages claimed in such litigation or
(ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any
such payment, distribution or repayment. The Depositor will not at any time
institute against the Trust any bankruptcy proceedings under any United States
federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of
the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION 11.9                    No Petition. The Trustee on behalf
of the Trust, by entering into this Agreement, each Certificateholder, by
accepting a Trust Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder,

they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join
in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other

Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION 11.10              No

Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder’s Trust Certificates
represent beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests
in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be
had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth
or contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust Certificates or the Basic
Documents.

hereof.

Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder

SECTION 11.13              Administrator.

notify the Depositor, in writing, of: (i) the commencement of or, if
applicable, the termination of, any and all legal proceedings pending against
the Trustee or any and all proceedings of which any property of the Trustee is

of any material changes to proceedings described in the preceding sentence. In
addition, the Trustee will furnish to the Depositor, in writing, the necessary
disclosure regarding the Trustee describing such proceedings required to be

inclusion in reports filed by or on behalf of the Depositor pursuant to the
Exchange Act.

 

For so long as
the Notes are outstanding and the Depositor is required to report under
Regulation AB and the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall (i) on or before the
fifth Business Day of each January, April, July and October provide to the
Depositor, in writing, such information regarding or relating to the Trustee as

description of the extent to which the Trustee has had prior experience serving
as a trustee for asset-backed securities transactions involving equipment
receivables; and

 

(C)                                a

general character of, any business relationship, agreement, arrangement,
transaction or

ordinary course of business or is on terms other than would be obtained in an
arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from this
transaction, that currently exists or that existed during the past two years
and that is material to an investor’s understanding of the Notes.

 

For so long as
the Notes are outstanding and the Depositor is required to report under the
Exchange Act, to the extent that there is a change in any of the Affiliation
Parties, the Depositor will notify the Trustee in writing of a change or
addition to any such Affiliation Parties, to the extent that an Authorized

SECTION 11.15              Complete Information.
The Disclosure Information (as defined in Section 11.16) provided by WTC for

Prospectus Date (a) there are no legal proceedings pending or known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities against WTC or against any property of
WTC, that would be material to the Noteholders, (b) WTC is not affiliated with
any of the Affiliation Parties, and (c) there is no business relationship,
agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding between the Trustee and
any of the Affiliation Parties that is entered into outside the ordinary course
of business or is on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length
transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from this transaction, that
currently exists or that existed during the past two years and that is material
to an investor’s understanding of the Notes.

 

SECTION 11.16              Indemnification.

 

(a)                          WTC agrees
to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless Depositor and CNHCA from
and against, any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties),
actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys or, as necessary consultants and
auditors and reasonable costs of investigations) (collectively, “Losses”)
of any nature to the extent such Losses result from:

 

(i)                                     any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in (x) the information provided
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.14 (“Periodic
Information”) or (y) the language set forth in Section 11.16(b)
that was furnished by WTC for use under the heading “The Trustee” in the
prospectus supplement contained in the Prospectus and the Preliminary
Prospectus (the “Disclosure Information”, and together with the Periodic
Information and the 11.15 Information, the “Trustee Information”) or (z)
Section 11.15 (the “11.15 Information”),
or

 

(ii)                                  the
omission to state in the Trustee Information a material fact required to be
stated in the Trustee Information, or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading,

 

29

 

(b)                         The
Disclosure Information for purposes of Section 11.16(a)(ii)
is as follows:

 

“Wilmington Trust Company is a Delaware banking corporation with trust
powers incorporated in 1903.  Wilmington Trust’s principal place of
business is located at 1100 North Market Street, Rodney Square North,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890. Wilmington Trust has served as trustee in
numerous asset-backed securities transactions involving equipment retail
installment loans, consumer installment loans and retail installment sale contracts.

 

Wilmington Trust Company is subject to various legal proceedings that
arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  Wilmington
Trust Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these
proceedings will have a materially adverse effect on its services as trustee or
on the noteholders.

 

Wilmington Trust Company has provided the above information for
purposes of complying with Regulation AB. Other than the above two paragraphs,
Wilmington Trust Company has not participated in the preparation of, and is not
responsible for, any other information contained in this prospectus.”

 

(c)                                  With
respect to the indemnification provided in Section 11.16(a), in no event will
WTC be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages relating to such
indemnification. In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant thereto, such person (the “indemnified party”)
shall promptly notify WTC in writing.  In any such proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party. WTC may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to
the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding relating to such
indemnity and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would
have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation.  Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding WTC
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent.  If WTC assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall
be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party
or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in
connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted
against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such
settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.

 

(d)                                 Depositor agrees to
pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless WTC, and its respective officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each person, if any, who
controls WTC, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against, any and all claims, losses,
liabilities (including penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages,
costs or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys or, as
necessary, consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations)
(collectively, “WTC Losses”) of any nature to the extent such WTC Losses result
from any untrue statement of a material fact contained under the heading “Depositor”
in the base prospectus

 

30

 

contained in the Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus, any omission to state under the heading “Depositor”
in the base prospectus contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the
Prospectus a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstance under which they were
made, not misleading, or any untrue information with respect to Affiliation
Parties provided by the Depositor pursuant to the last paragraph of Section
11.14 (unless WTC has actual knowledge that such Affiliation Party information
is incorrect).

 

(e)                                  With
respect to the indemnification provided in Section 11.16(d), in no event will
Depositor be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages relating to
such indemnification. In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant thereto, such person (the “indemnified party”)
shall promptly notify Depositor in writing.  In any such proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party. Depositor may, at its option, at any time upon written notice
to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding relating to such
indemnity and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would
have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation.  Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding
Depositor shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent.  If Depositor assumes the defense of any
proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of
the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the
indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding
which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by
the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified
party.

 

SECTION 11.17              Paying
Agent Protection. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the
same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities as the Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture as if specifically set forth herein.

CNH EQUIPMENT TRUST 2007-C

 

TRUST CERTIFICATE

 

evidencing a
fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Trust (as defined below), the
property of which includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts and
retail installment loans (including consumer installment loans) secured by new
and used agricultural, construction and/or other equipment and sold to the
Trust by CNH Capital Receivables LLC.

 

(This Trust
Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of CNH Capital
Receivables LLC, CNH Capital America LLC, New Holland Credit Company, LLC, CNH
Global N.V. or CNH America LLC, or any of their respective affiliates, except
to the extent described below.)

 

THIS CERTIFIES
THAT CNH CAPITAL RECEIVABLES LLC is the registered owner of a nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in CNH Equipment Trust 2007-C (the “Trust”) formed by CNH Capital Receivables
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”).

 

The Trust was
created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”)
between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not otherwise
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to
them in the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) dated as of
November 1, 2007 among the Trust, the Depositor and New Holland Credit Company,
LLC, as servicer (the “Servicer”),
as applicable. This Trust Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust
Certificates (herein called the “Trust
Certificates”) issued under and subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this
Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
holder is bound. The provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement are
hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in their entirety herein.

 

Issued under
the Indenture dated as of November 1, 2007 between the Trust and The Bank Of
New York Trust Company, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, are notes designated as “[    ]% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes,” “[     ]% Class A-2a Asset Backed Notes,” “Floating
Rate Class A-2b Asset Backed Notes,” “[    
]% Class A-3a Asset Backed Notes,” “Floating Rate Class A-3b Asset
Backed Notes,” “[    ]% Class A-4a Asset
Backed Notes,” “Floating Rate Class A-4b Asset Backed Notes,” and “[    ]% Class B Asset Backed Notes”. The holder
of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive
distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate

 

A-1

 

are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

 

It is the
intent of the Depositor, Servicer and the holder of this Trust Certificate
that, for purposes of federal income, State and local income and franchise and
any other income taxes measured in whole or in part by income, until the Trust
Certificates are held by a Person other than the Depositor, the Trust be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Depositor. At such time that the
Trust Certificates are held by more than one person, it is the intent of the
Depositor, Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes measured
in whole or in part by income, the Trust be treated as a partnership, the
assets of which are the assets held by the Trust, and the Certificateholders
(including the Depositor (and its transferees and assigns) in its capacity as
recipient of distributions from the Spread Account) will be treated as partners
in that partnership. The Depositor and the holder of this Trust Certificate, by
acceptance of this Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action
inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust Certificates as such for tax
purposes.

 

The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Trust Certificate, covenants and
agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the
Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the
Trust, 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 this Trust
Certificate, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

 

The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Trust Certificate, represents and
warrants in writing that: (a) it is acquiring this Trust Certificate for its
own account and is the sole beneficial owner of such Trust Certificate; (b) the
transfer is not being effected on or through (x) an “established securities
market” within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(1) of the Code, including without
limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that
regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (y) a “secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section
7704(a)(2) of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury
regulations thereunder; and (c) such transfer will not cause the Trust to be
classified as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, and such purchaser or transferee will not take any action, including
any subsequent disposition of such Trust Certificate (or any beneficial
interest therein), that would cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly
traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

This Trust
Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of: (i) an employee
benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), that is subject to the provisions
of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iii) any entity whose underlying
assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing (a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding
this Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

 

This Trust
Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Depositor, the Servicer, CNH Capital America LLC, New Holland Credit Company,
LLC, CNH America

 

A-2

 

LLC, CNH Global N.V., the Trustee or any affiliates of any of them and
no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be
expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the
Basic Documents.

 

Unless the certificate
of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or be valid for any purpose.

 

This Trust
Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of
Delaware, 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.
