            Section 2.03.
 	
            Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Indenture Trustee.
 

(a)        The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the exceptions it notes pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) referred to in Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement, and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust as Indenture Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Notes.

On the Closing Date or no later than the 45th day following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall certify to the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer (and the Indenture Trustee if the Custodian is so certifying) that it has reviewed each Mortgage File and that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-1 as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i) - (v) and (vii) of Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by
it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule which corresponds to items (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.  If within such 45-day period the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee determines that such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its review notify the Seller in the form of an exception
report and the Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect.

On the 360th day following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer an exception report showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement along with a final certification annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 updated from the previous certification issued in the form of Exhibit C-1.  The Indenture 

 

Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall also maintain records adequate to determine the date on which any document required to be delivered to it after such 360th day following the Closing Date must be delivered to it, and on each such date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall review the related Mortgage File to determine whether such document has, in fact, been delivered.  After the delivery of the final certification, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Servicer and the Seller (and to the Indenture Trustee if delivered by the Custodian), no less frequently than monthly, updated exception reports showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage
Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement until all such exceptions have been eliminated and (ii) the Seller shall provide to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, no less frequently than monthly, updated certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions until all such exceptions have been eliminated; provided that the delivery of the final certification shall not act as a waiver of any of the rights the Noteholders may have with respect to such exceptions, and all rights are reserved with respect thereto.

Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian makes any representations as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, sufficiency, legality, due authorization, recordation or genuineness of any document or (ii) the collectability, insurability or effectiveness of any of the Mortgage Loans.

(b)        Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall have any responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in Section 2.02.  Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to such subsection, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Indenture Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a
document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded, but shall not be required to determine whether any Person executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

Section 2.04.    Acceptance of the Interest Rate Cap Agreements by Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to execute and the Securities Administrator (on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) to deliver and perform the Indenture Trustee’s obligations under the Class AV Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class AV Notes, the Class AF-1 Notes or the Class N Notes.  The Issuer and the Holders of the Class AF-1 Notes and the Class N Notes by their acceptance of such Notes acknowledge and agree that the Indenture Trustee shall execute and the Securities Administrator (on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) shall deliver and perform the Indenture
Trustee’s obligations under the Class AV Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall do so solely in its 

 

capacity as Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and not in its respective individual capacity.

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Class AV Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement and declares that it holds and will continue to hold these documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust as Indenture Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Class AF-1 Notes , Class AV Notes and the Class N Notes.  Every provision of this Indenture affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall apply to the Indenture Trustee’s execution of the Class AV Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

The Securities Administrator shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received by it immediately following receipt thereof, including, without limitation, all amounts withdrawn by the Servicer from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Servicing Agreement for deposit to the Payment Account.  Amounts on deposit in the Payment Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to Section
3.01(b).  In addition, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the Initial Deposit in the Payment Account on the Closing Date.  Immediately prior to each Payment Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Payment Account and pay to the Master Servicer an amount equal to the Master Servicing Fee for such Payment Date and any unreimbursed Monthly Advances made by the Master Servicer.  The Securities Administrator shall make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to Section 3.03 as provided in Section 3.05 herein from monies on deposit in the Payment Account.

(b)        Consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a portion of any Account held by the Securities Administrator shall be invested and reinvested by the Securities Administrator (in the case of the Payment Account) or as directed in writing by the Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account) or the Seller (in the case of any other Account) (the applicable Person, the “Directing Party”), in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount.  If the applicable Directing Party does not provide investment directions, or if the Directing Party is the Servicer and a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Securities Administrator shall invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments.  No such investment in any
Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (except that for any such Account other than the Payment Account (i) if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Securities Administrator or a money market fund for which the Securities Administrator or any Affiliate is the manager or the advisor, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Payment Date and (ii) any other date may be approved by the Rating Agencies).

(c)        If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Securities Administrator and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account.  The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom unless the Securities Administrator’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section 3.01(c) is the cause of such loss or charge.

 

 

(d)        The Securities Administrator shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Securities Administrator resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Securities Administrator is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (c) of this Section 3.01).

(e)        The Securities Administrator shall invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held by the Securities Administrator, to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the applicable Directing Party shall from time to time direct as set forth in Section 3.01(b), but only in one or more Eligible Investments.

(f)         So long as no Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as Servicing Compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee), and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement therefore from its own funds.

(g)        All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer for the period from the date of deposit to the Deposit Date, as Servicing Compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee.  All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Payment Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator for the period from the Deposit Date to the Payment Date, as compensation.  Any such income shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received.  The Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall deposit in the Payment Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible
Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon payable to Securities Administrator immediately upon the realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement therefor.

Section 3.02.    Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where, subject to satisfaction of conditions set forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Securities Administrator to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes.  If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made at the office designated by the Securities Administrator for such purpose.

Section 3.03.    Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust; Paying Agent.  As provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Securities Administrator or by the Paying Agent, and 

 

no amounts so withdrawn from the Payment Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.03.  The Issuer hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as its Paying Agent.

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

(i)         hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes 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 Securities Administrator notice of any default by the Issuer 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 default described in (ii) above, upon the written request of the Securities Administrator, forthwith pay to the Securities Administrator all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv)        immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Securities Administrator 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 at the time of its appointment;

(v)        comply with all requirements of the Code 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; and

(vi)        not commence a bankruptcy proceeding against the Issuer in connection with this Indenture.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Request direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Securities Administrator all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for 

 

payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Securities Administrator or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper published in the English language, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.  The Securities Administrator may also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment
(including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Securities Administrator or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.04.    Existence.  The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Mortgage Loans and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust.

            [Reserved.]
 

Section 3.12.    Representations and Warranties Concerning the Mortgage Loans.  The Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, has the benefit of the representations and warranties made by the Seller and the Originator in the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement concerning the Seller and the Mortgage Loans to the same extent as though such representations and warranties were made directly to the Indenture Trustee.

Seller’s or the Originator’s obligation to cure such defect or repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.13.    Amendments to Servicing Agreement.

It is intended that, by the Servicer’s acceptance of such bailee arrangement, the Indenture Trustee, as a secured party of the Mortgage Loans, will be deemed to have
possession of such Related Documents, such monies and such other items for purposes of Section 9-305 of the UCC of the state in which such property is held by the Servicer.  Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to such documents, monies or items while in possession of the Servicer.

Section 3.15.    Investment Company Act.  The Issuer shall not become an “investment company” or be under the “control” of an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor or amendatory statute), and the rules and regulations thereunder (taking into account not only the general definition of the term “investment company” but also any available exceptions to such general definition); provided, however, that the Issuer shall be in compliance with this Section 3.15 if it 

 

shall have obtained an order exempting it from regulation as an “investment company” so long as it is in compliance with the conditions imposed in such order.

(i)         the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Issuer, the conveyance or transfer of which is hereby restricted, shall (A) be a United States citizen or a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, (B) expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein, (C) expressly agree by means of such supplemental indenture that all

            Certain Representations Regarding the Trust.
 

(a)        With respect to that portion of the Collateral described in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Collateral, the Issuer represents to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator that:

(i)         This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

(ii)         The Collateral constitutes “deposit accounts” or “instruments,” as applicable, within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iii)        The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(iv)        The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of the Collateral.

(v)        Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral.

(vi)        The Collateral is not in the name of any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer has not consented to the bank maintaining the Collateral to comply with instructions of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

(b)        With respect to that portion of the Collateral described in clause (e), the Issuer represents to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator that:

 

 

(i)         This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

(ii)         The Collateral constitutes “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iii)        The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(c)        With respect to any Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, the Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of any financing statements against, the Issuer, that include a description of collateral covering such Collateral, other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.  The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

(d)        The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in all Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder in which a security interest may be perfected by filing and the Issuer will cause such security interest to be maintained.

(a)        On each Payment Date, the Securities Administrator shall determine the total of the Applied Realized Loss Amounts for such Payment Date.  The Applied Realized Loss Amount for any Payment Date shall be applied by reducing the Class Note Balance of each Class of Mezzanine Notes beginning with the Class of Mezzanine Notes then outstanding with the lowest relative payment priority, in each case until the respective Class Note Balance thereof is reduced to zero.  Any Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to a related Class of Mezzanine Notes shall be allocated among the Mezzanine Notes of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Notes (or if the Class N Notes are not outstanding, the Certificates)) execute a replacement contract comparable to the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by the Class N Interest Rate Cap Agreement; provided, however, that the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of any early termination payment received from the Cap Provider.

ARTICLE IV

 

THE NOTES; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 4.01.    The Notes.  Each Class of Notes shall be registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository.  Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum initial Note Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.

The Securities Administrator may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of the Notes hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants.  Except as provided in Section 4.08 hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive notes for the Notes as to which they are the Beneficial Owners.  Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Notes shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners.
The Securities Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date.  Without the consent of the Issuer and the Securities Administrator, no Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as Depository, the Securities Administrator with the approval of the Issuer may appoint a successor Depository.  If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30 days of the effective date of the Depository’s resignation or removal, each Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Notes it beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.

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

Section 4.02.    Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Appointment of Note Registrar and Certificate.

The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided.

Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or 

 

transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interests.

Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interests upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Each Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a
commercial bank or trust company located or having a correspondent located in the city of New York.  Notes delivered upon any such transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Notes surrendered.

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

The Issuer hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as (i) Certificate Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement and (ii) Note Registrar under this Indenture.  The Securities Administrator hereby accepts such appointments.

Section 4.03.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable 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 protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such 

 

Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator in connection therewith.

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

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

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

Section 4.04.    Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them 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 of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 4.05.    Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Securities Administrator, be delivered to the Securities Administrator and shall be promptly cancelled by the Securities Administrator.  The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Securities Administrator for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Securities Administrator.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuer Request is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Securities Administrator.

	
            Section 4.06.
 	
            Book-Entry Notes.  
 

 

 

 

(a)        The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer.  The Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 4.08.  With respect to such Notes, unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:

	
            (i)
 	
            the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force and effect;
 

(ii)         the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners of the Notes;

(iii)        to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall control;

(iv)        the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners of Notes and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants.  Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Depository 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 Note Balances of the Notes, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage with respect to the Notes only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Securities Administrator.

(b)        The Class N Notes offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A added to the forms of such Class N Notes (each, a “Restricted Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Class N Notes represented thereby with the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Securities Administrator as hereinafter provided.  The aggregate Note Balance of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records
of the Securities Administrator or the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.

 

 

(c)        The Class N Notes sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto added to the forms of such Class N Notes (each, a “Regulation S Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Class N Notes represented thereby with the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Securities Administrator as hereinafter provided.  The aggregate Note Balance of the Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Administrator or the Depository or its nominee, as
the case may be, as hereinafter provided.

Section 4.07.    Notices to Depository.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08, the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.

Section 4.08.    Definitive Notes.  If (i) the Securities Administrator determines that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes and the Securities Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes advise the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify all Beneficial Owners and the Securities Administrator of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Securities Administrator of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Depository.  None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

Section 4.09.    Tax Treatment.  The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness.

Section 4.11.    Application of Trust Money.  All monies deposited with the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent or the Issuer, Certificate Paying Agent as designee of the Issuer, as the Securities Administrator may determine, to the Holders of Notes or Certificates, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest or otherwise; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or required by law.

indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Department of Labor (“DOL”) regulation 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, and agrees to so treat the Notes.  Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Notes, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

	
            Section 4.16.
 	
            Transfer Restrictions for Class N Notes.
 

(a)        No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class N Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws.  If a transfer of any Class N Note is to be made without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-1 hereto and a certificate
from such Noteholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-2 hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the Noteholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification).  None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class N Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Class N Note or interest therein without registration or qualification.  Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of Class N Notes or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Note Registrar 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.

(b)        No Class N Note may be sold or transferred to a Person unless such Person certifies substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, such Person will be deemed to have represented such certification), which certification the Securities Administrator may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, to the following effect:

(i)         Such Person is neither: (1) an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), nor (2) any Person who is 

 

directly or indirectly purchasing such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” (as defined under the DOL Regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3 101) of a Plan; or

(ii)         The acquisition, holding and transfer of the Transferred Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (2) the Transferred Note is rated investment grade or better and the Transferee believes that the Transferred Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat the Transferred Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Note by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or any Person investing “plan assets” of any Plan) and the Note Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Note Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor.

(c)        No Note sold in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S, may be sold or transferred to a Person unless such Person certifies substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, G-1 or G-2 hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, such Person will be deemed to have represented such certification), which certification the Securities Administrator may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, to the following effect:

(i)         Such Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States;

(ii)         Such Person understands that such Class N Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Notes or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Class N Notes, such Class N Notes may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer that is purchasing such Class N Notes for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given
that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Indenture; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section 4.16; and

(iii)        Either (A) such Person is neither (i) an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including, without limitation, insurance company 

 

general accounts, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), nor (ii) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” (as defined under the DOL Regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of a Plan; (B) (1) the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Class N Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (2) such Class N Note is rated investment grade or better and such person believes that such Class N Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat such Class N Note or (C) such person has provided the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee with an Opinion
of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Class N Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Note by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or any Person investing “plan assets” of any Plan) and the Note Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Note Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor.

(d)        If a Person is acquiring any Class N Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification) to the effect that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 4.16.

(e)        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing the Notes remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a Global Security representing the Notes, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 4.16.

(i)         Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.16(e), transfers of a Global Security representing the Class N Notes shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

 

 

(ii)         Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. Person, may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security.  Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator, as Note
Registrar, of (A) instructions from the Depository directing the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes held through a Regulation S Global Security, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Securities, including that the holder
is not a U.S. Person and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security.

(iii)        Regulation S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security.  Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, of (A) instructions from the Depository directing the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such Holder’s Class N Notes held through a Restricted Global Security, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that the Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Restricted Global Security is a 

 

qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other jurisdiction, then the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, will reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be transferred and the Securities Administrator, as Note Registrar, shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Security.

(iv)        Other Exchanges.  In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Class N Notes in definitive registered form without interest coupons, such Class N Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to insure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or are to non-U.S. Persons, or otherwise comply with Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be, and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Securities Administrator.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 5.01.    Events of Default.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, within five days after learning of the occurrence of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of “Event of Default,” its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.  Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer and such notice references the Notes, the Trust or this Indenture.

Section 5.02.    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 shall, at the written direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator if such notice is given by the Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid aggregate Note Balance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Securities Administrator as hereinafter in this Article V provided, Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, may waive the related Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(i)         the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Securities Administrator a sum sufficient to pay (a) all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and (b) all sums paid or advanced by the Securities Administrator hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator and its respective 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 thereto.

 

 

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

(a)        The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Securities Administrator, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, pay to the Securities Administrator, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest at the applicable Note Rate upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator and its respective agents and counsel.

(b)        In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c)        If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee,  subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d)        In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, irrespective of
whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, 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, the Securities Administrator and each predecessor Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator and each predecessor Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator and each predecessor Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator.

(e)        Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 or the Securities Administrator 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.

predecessor Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, subject to Section 5.05 hereof.

            Section 5.04.
 	
            Remedies; Priorities.
 

(a)        If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Indenture Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, and shall, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 hereof):

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

(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 and the Holders of the Notes; and

(iv)        sell the Collateral 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; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders of the Notes are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the applicable 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 the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon written advice or an opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) 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 for such purpose.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Servicer Event of Default has not occurred, 

 

any sale of the Trust shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

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

(i)         to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator for amounts due under Section 6.07 hereof and to the Owner Trustee for amounts due pursuant to Article VII of the Trust Agreement;

	
            (ii)
 	
            to the Noteholders in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.05(b); and
 

(iii)        to the payment of the remainder, if any to the Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer or to any other person legally entitled thereto.

The Securities Administrator may fix a record date and Payment Date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04.  At least 15 days before such record date, the Securities Administrator shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05.    Optional Preservation of the Collateral.  If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the Collateral.  It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust.  In determining whether and how to take and maintain possession of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon
the written advice or 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 for such purpose.

Section 5.06.    Limitation of Suits.  No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof

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

(ii)         the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes have made a written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

 

 

(iii)        such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably 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 of request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; 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 Note Balances of the Notes.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

Section 5.07.    Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive 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 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 5.08.    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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.09.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.10.    Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law 

 

to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11.    Control By Noteholders.  The Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of 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;

(ii)         any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes;

(iii)        the Indenture Trustee has been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and

(iv)        the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Note Balances of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11 the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability.

Section 5.12.    Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.13.    Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note and each Beneficial Owner of any interest therein by such Holder’s or Beneficial Owner’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 or the Securities Administrator for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its 

 

discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balances 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.

Section 5.14.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

	
            Section 5.15.
 	
            Sale of Trust.
 

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

(b)        The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust, or any portion thereof, unless

(i)         the Holders of all Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or

(ii)         the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

(iii)        the Indenture Trustee determines that the conditions for retention of the Collateral set forth in Section 5.05 hereof cannot be satisfied (in making any determination under this Section 5.15, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon written advice or an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered 

 

as provided in Section 5.05 hereof), the Holders of Notes representing at least 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes consent to such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).

	
            (c)
 	
            [Reserved].
 	
             

	
            (d)
 	
            In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust,
 

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

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

(iii)        the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance, prepared by the Issuer and satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust in connection with a Sale thereof;

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

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

Section 5.16.    Action on Notes.  The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the 

 

lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.  Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof.

	
            Section 5.17.
 	
            Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
 

(a)        Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer in its capacity as holder of the Mortgage Loans, shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to cause the Issuer to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller, the Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, including the transmission of notices of default on the
part of the Seller, the Servicer or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller, the Servicer or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

(b)        The Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Note Balances of the Notes, shall exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Master Servicer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Mortgage Loan Sale
and Contribution Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall not be suspended.

(a)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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:

Section 6.03.    Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator.  The Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.  Any Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.  However, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 hereof.

Section 6.05.    Notice of Event of Default.  Subject to Section 5.01, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall promptly mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of Default after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.  Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

Section 6.06.    Reports by Securities Administrator to Holders and Tax Administration.

The Securities Administrator shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.  Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement, the Administrator will prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed), on behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, all tax returns (if any) and information reports, tax elections and such annual or other reports of the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of tax returns and information reports as required by the 

 

Code.   In addition, the Securities Administrator shall prepare a Form 1099 with respect to each calendar year.

Section 6.07.    Compensation and Indemnity.  Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be paid by the Master Servicer from a portion of the Master Servicing Fee.

The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to compensation for its services.

The
Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, unless the Issuer is materially prejudiced thereby.  The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall have the right to employ separate counsel with respect to any such claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Issuer in writing; (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel or (iii) the Issuer has failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable period of time following written notice thereof, it being understood, however, with respect to any event described in clause (ii) or clause (iii) hereof, that the Issuer shall not, in connection with any one such claim or separate but substantially similar or related claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties.  The Issuer is not obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer through the Indenture Trustee’s, the Securities Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Originator and the Seller to the extent set forth in Section 5.2 of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement.

The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the termination or resignation of the Indenture 

 

Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer. When the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.08.    Replacement of Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator.  No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.08.  The Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.  Holders of a majority of Note Balances of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator by so notifying the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator.  The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee or the
Securities Administrator if:

(i)         the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator fails to comply with Section 6.11 hereof;

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

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

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

If the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Securities Administrator), the Issuer shall,  promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.

A successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and to the Issuer.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this Indenture.  The successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders.  The retiring Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator to the successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as aplicable.

 

 

If a successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Note Balances of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator.

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

Section 6.09.    Successor Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator by Merger.

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

 

 

(ii)         reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with 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 the term “Outstanding” or modify or alter the exception in the definition of the term “Holder”

(iv)        reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of the Notes required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the Trust pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof;

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

(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 or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture;

and provided, further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Issuer (if 100% of the Certificates are not owned by the Seller) to be subject to an entity level tax.

Any such action shall not (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of Notes) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder (other than a Holder who shall consent to such supplemental indenture).

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

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator to mail such notice, or any 

 

defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 9.03.    Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the documents required by Section 10.01), and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, 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.  Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s own
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.04.   Effect of Supplemental Indenture.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer 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 9.05.    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 Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.06.   Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.  Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Securities Administrator in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

            Section 10.01.
 	
            Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.
 

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

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

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

(ii)         a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii)        a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;

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

(v)        if the signatory of such certificate or opinion is required to be Independent, the statement required by the definition of the term “Independent Certificate.”

(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 Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 10.01(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 prior to such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited and a report from a nationally recognized accounting firm verifying such value.

 

 

(ii)         Whenever the Issuer 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 (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate from a nationally recognized accounting firm as to the same matters, if the fair value of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Note Balances of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof as
set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Note Balances of the Notes.

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

(iv)        Whenever the Issuer 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) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Note Principal Balances of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is
less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Note Principal Balances of the Notes.

Section 10.02.  Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.  In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any 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 Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Seller or the Issuer, unless such 

 

counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report.  The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’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 10.03.
 	
            Acts of Noteholders.
 

(a)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Securities Administrator, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Securities Administrator and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.03 hereof.

(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 Securities Administrator deems sufficient.

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

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

 

 

Section 10.04.  Notices etc., to Indenture Trustee, Securities Administrator, Issuer 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:

(i)         the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator at the Corporate Trust Office.  The Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer; or

(ii)         the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-2, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19990-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator by the Issuer.  The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, mailed first-class postage pre-paid, to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Residential Mortgage Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007, (ii) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard & Poor’s, 55 Water Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10041, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department and (iii) in the case of DBRS, at the following address: Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc., 20 North Clark Street, 8th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60602; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be
designated by written notice to the other parties.

Section 10.05.  Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s 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
regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

 

 

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 Securities Administrator but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Securities Administrator 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 an Event of Default.

Section 10.06.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

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

Section 10.07.  Effect of Headings.  The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 10.08.  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.  All agreements of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 10.09.  Separability.  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.10.  Third Party Beneficiary.  The Master Servicer shall be a third party beneficiary for purposes of Section 6.07 of this Indenture.

Section 10.11.  Legal Holidays.  In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force 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 10.12.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 

 

WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 10.13.  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 10.14.  Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel at its expense (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 10.15.  Issuer Obligation.  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of any successor or
assign of any of them in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

Section 10.16.  No Petition.  The Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time prior to one year from the date of termination hereof, institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents, except for filing proofs of claim.

Section 10.17.  Inspection.  The Issuer agrees that, at its expense, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause 

 

such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.18.  No Recourse to Owner Trustee.  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally, but solely as Owner Trustee of Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-2, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability of Wilmington Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein,
all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or any other related documents.

Section 10.19.  Proofs of Claim.  The Indenture Trustee is authorized 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Indenture Trustee, as administrative expenses associated with any such
proceeding, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholder to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the 

 

Noteholder of the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($_________________) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in July 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of June 29, 2005 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”, which term includes any successor Securities Administrator under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.  All
terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date.  The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the Initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class ____ Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 

 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the Seller on any Payment Date on or after the Optional Redemption Date.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes.  The assets included in the Trust will be the sole source of payments on the Class ____ Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class ____ Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder.  All scheduled
reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.  The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture.  The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust securing the Notes or otherwise 

 

shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

The failure to pay any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall at any time when funds are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring this Note with Plan Assets or (2)(A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat this Note.  Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this Note, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its 

 

consequences.  Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note.  The Indenture also permits the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note.  This Note will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth.  This Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly executed by Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee.

Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($_________________) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in July 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of June 29, 2005 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”, which term includes any successor Securities Administrator under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.  All
terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date.  The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the Initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class N Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 

 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the Seller on any Payment Date on or after the Optional Redemption Date.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes.  The assets included in the Trust will be the sole source of payments on the Class ____ Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class N Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

No transfer of this Note or any interest herein shall be made except in accordance with Section 4.16 of the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder.  All scheduled
reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.  The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture.  The Indenture provides that, 

 

notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

The failure to pay any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall at any time when funds are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring this Note with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat this Note.  Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this Note, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Owner Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the 

 

Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences.  Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note.  The Indenture also permits the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note.  This Note will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth.  This Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly executed by Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee.

Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-2 (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the sale by _____________________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Class N Notes having an initial aggregate Note Balance as of June __, 2005 (the “Closing Date”) of $______________ (the “Transferred Notes”).  The Class N Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June __, 2005 (the “Indenture”), among Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2005-2 (the “Issuer”), HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the “Indenture Trustee”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Securities Administrator”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the
benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Transferee, that:

1.          The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

2.          Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Note under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of any Note a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Note pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

3.          The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule l44A (“Rule l44A”) under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer.  In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional 

 

Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):

	
            ____
 	
            (a)          The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
 
	
             
 	
             
 
	
            ____
 	
            (b)         The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S.  purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser, or
 
	
             
 	
             
 
	
            ____
 	
            (c)          The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser, or
 
	
             
 	
             
 
	
            ____
 	
            (d)         A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.
 

 

4.          The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:

1.                 the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee’s  “family of investment companies”, if the Transferee is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; 

 

securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;

2.                 the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;

3.                 securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.

5.          The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Transferred Notes and payments thereon, (b) the nature and performance of the Underlying Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Participations, (c) the Indenture and the Collateral, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Notes, that the Transferee has requested.

Very truly yours,

[TRANSFEROR]

3.          The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.  For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee did not include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.

4.          For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market.  Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the
Transferee’s direction.  However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a 

 

majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

5.          The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule l44A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Notes are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

            only for the Transferee’s own account?
 

 

6.          If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.

7.          The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Transferred Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.  In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.
