LCC INTERNATIONAL, INC.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN

AND

SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION

The LCC International, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”) is
primarily designed to provide eligible employees of LCC International, Inc.
(the “Company”) whose employment is terminated on or after June 29, 2004
following a Change in Control of the Company with separation pay in the event
of an involuntary termination of employment.

This Plan is designed to be an “employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in
Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”). This Plan is governed by ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This document constitutes both the
official plan document and the required summary plan description under ERISA.

ELIGIBILITY

You will be an Eligible Employee for purposes of receiving severance benefits
under the Plan if:

	 	•	 	you are a regular, full-time employee of the Company and are
identified on Exhibit A, which may be amended from time to time by
the Plan Administrator to include additional officers as they are
hired or promoted into the roles of Chief Executive Officer, Senior
Vice President or Vice President;
	 
	 	•	 	your active employment with the Company is Involuntarily
Terminated within the Applicable Period following a Change in
Control;
	 
	 	•	 	you execute the General Release of All Claims (the “General
Release”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B, within five (5)
business days after your termination date or, if you are age forty
(40) or over, you execute the General Release, a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit C, within forty-five (45) business days after
your termination; and
	 
	 	•	 	you are not in one of the excluded categories listed
below.

Excluded categories of employees. You are not eligible for severance
benefits under this Plan if:

	 	•	 	you voluntarily terminate employment unless your termination
constitutes an “Involuntary Termination” as defined below;
	 
	 	•	 	you are employed with a successor employer which directly or
indirectly acquires (i) all or any portion of the assets or
operations of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) all or any portion
of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, or (iii) fifty
percent (50%) or more of the capital stock of any subsidiary of the
Company. However, you would be eligible for severance benefits
pursuant to the terms of the Plan upon a subsequent termination by
the successor employer within the Applicable Period following a
Change in Control; or

1

 

	 	•	 	you are dismissed for Cause, whether or not you prior to your
dismissal you received notice of a termination which would otherwise
qualify you for severance benefits.

HOW THE PLAN WORKS

If you are eligible for severance benefits under the Plan, the amount of your
severance pay will be determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth
below, subject to the Golden Parachute Tax Gross-Up set forth below. You will
receive your severance pay in a lump-sum payment (with appropriate taxes
deducted), which will be made as soon as administratively practicable after the
occurrence of the following events:

	 	•	 	your Involuntary Termination within the
Applicable Period after a Change in Control;
	 
	 	•	 	the Company’s receipt of your executed General
Release; and
	 
	 	•	 	the expiration of any rescission period
applicable to your executed General Release.

Severance Guidelines

If your employment is Involuntarily Terminated within the Applicable Period
after a Change in Control, you will be paid or provided:

     (1) All Accrued Compensation and a Pro-Rata Bonus;

     (2) Reasonable outplacement services,

     (3) Benefits continuation for the Applicable Period, and

     (4) Severance as follows:

	 	•	 	if the Eligible Employee was the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company immediately before the Change in Control, an amount
equal to 200% of to the Eligible Employee’s Annual Base Pay and
Target Bonus;
	 
	 	•	 	if the Eligible Employee was a senior vice president of the
Company immediately before the Change in Control, 150% of the
Eligible Employee’s Annual Base Pay and Target Bonus;
	 
	 	•	 	if the Eligible Employee was a vice president immediately
before the Change in Control, 100% of the Eligible Employee’s Annual
Base Pay and Target Bonus.

In addition your termination will be treated as a termination at the
convenience of the Company under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, which will allow
continued vesting and exercise of options for 180 days from termination of
employment.

2

 

Accrued Compensation shall mean an amount which shall include all
amounts earned or accrued through the termination date but not paid as of the
termination date including (i) base salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable
and necessary expenses incurred by you on behalf of the Company during the
period ending on the termination date, (iii) vacation and sick leave pay (to
the extent provided by Company policy or applicable law), (iv) incentive
compensation (other than the Pro Rata Bonus; and (v) 100% of any target bonus
with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended prior to the termination date
to the extent a bonus for such year has not been awarded and paid prior to the
termination date and there is a reasonable expectation that a bonus would be
paid based upon the company’s results and/or your performance against bonus
objectives.

Annual Base Pay generally means your annualized base salary at the rate
in effect during the last regularly scheduled payroll period immediately
preceding either (i) the occurrence of the Change in Control, or (ii) your
Involuntary Termination, whichever is greater, and does not include, for
example, bonuses, overtime compensation, incentive pay, fringe benefits, sales
commissions or expense allowances.

Applicable Period means (i) twenty-four (24) months, if you were the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company immediately prior to the Change in
Control, (ii) eighteen (18) months, if you were a Senior Vice President of the
Company immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (iii) twelve (12)
months, if you were a Vice President of the Company immediately prior to the
Change in Control.

Cause means: (i) any act of deceit, dishonesty, fraud or theft, (ii) a
material failure to perform your job responsibilities after having been
provided notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the problem, (iv) any
material violation of Company policy under circumstances where you knew or
should have known of the policy, (v) any material violation of your this Plan
or any agreement you may have with the Company including, without limitation,
any violation of your obligations of confidentiality and non-competition, or
(vi) any immoral, unethical or illegal behavior including, without limitation,
and violation of your fiduciary obligations to the Company.

Change in Control shall be deemed to occur upon the consummation of any
of the following transactions:

	 	1.	 	the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another person or entity;
	 
	 	2.	 	a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company with
one or more other persons or entities where the Company is not the
surviving entity; or
	 
	 	3.	 	a merger, acquisition or other transaction in which the
Company is the surviving corporation that results in any person or
entity (other than persons who are holders of 5% or more of the
stock of the Company at the time the transaction is approved by the
shareholders and other than any Affiliate) acquiring beneficial
ownership of 51% or more of the combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company, excluding any change in voting control
arising as a result of the conversion of Class “B” common stock of
the Company to Class “A” common stock of the Company or any

3

 

	 	 	 	distribution by RF Investors, L.L.C. to any of its direct or indirect
owners, investors or their respective affiliates (within the meaning
of Rule 405 of Regulation C under the 1933 Act).

Confidential Information

You shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all
secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company
or any of its affiliates, and their respective businesses, which shall have
been obtained by you during your employment by the Company or any of its
affiliates and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by
your acts or acts of your representatives in violation of this Plan). After
termination of your employment with the Company, you shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or
legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data
to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.

Covenant Not to Compete

If you are an Eligible Employee under the Plan, in consideration for the
severance payment being made to you under the Plan, you are subject to a
Covenant Not to Compete. Pursuant to the Covenant Not to Compete, following
the termination of employment, you may not (i) compete with the Company on your
own behalf or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) participate as a director,
stockholder or partner or have any direct or indirect financial interest in any
enterprise which engages in any business in which the Company is engaged, or to
your knowledge, has reasonably firm plans to engage, for the Applicable Period.
You acknowledge and agree that the severance benefits provided to you under
the Plan (with your severance and non-compete term being roughly equivalent)
are intended and are sufficient to compensate you for the Covenant Not to
Compete provided under this Plan provision.

Golden Parachute Tax Gross-Up

In the event that any payment or benefit made or provided to or for your
benefit in connection with this Plan and/or your employment with the Company or
the termination thereof (a “Payment”) is determined to be subject to any
excise tax (“Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any
successor to such Section), the Company shall pay to you, prior to the time any
Excise Tax is payable with respect to such Payment (through withholding or
otherwise), an additional amount (a “Gross-Up Payment”) which, after the
imposition of all income, employment, excise and other taxes, penalties and
interest thereon, is equal to the sum of (i) the Excise Tax on such Payment
plus (ii) any penalty and interest assessments associated with such Excise Tax.
The determination of whether any Payment is subject to an Excise Tax and, if
so, the amount and time of any Gross-Up Payment pursuant to this Plan shall be
made by an independent auditor (the “Auditor”) selected and paid by the
Company. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any
proceeding or claim relating to the existence or amount of any liability for
Excise Tax.

4

 

Incentive Compensation shall mean 100% of the commission, bonus or other
incentive-type pay paid to you (excluding stock options) for the fiscal year
immediately preceding the Change in Control.

Involuntary Termination shall mean the termination of your employment
with the Company (or, if applicable, successor entity) other than by reason of
death or disability: (a) involuntarily upon your discharge or dismissal other
than for Cause, or (b) upon your resignation following (I) a reduction in your
level of Annual Base Pay or any Target Bonus, (II) a material reduction in your
benefits, (III) a relocation of your place of employment which is more than 35
miles from your place of employment prior to the Change in Control, as
determined in your reasonable judgment, provided and only if such change
or reduction is effected without your written concurrence, or (c) upon your
resignation following a change in your position with the Company (or, if
applicable, with the successor entity) that is effected without the your
written consent and materially reduces your level of responsibility or
authority or that materially increases your level of responsibility or
authority without an appropriate increase in compensation (in your reasonable
judgment).

Non-Solicitation You may not, during your employment by the Company and
for a period of one year thereafter, induce or attempt to induce any employee
of the Company or any the Company’s affiliates to render services for any other
person.

Pro Rata Bonus means an amount equal to 100% of the target bonus that
you would have been eligible to receive for the Company’s fiscal year in which
your employment terminates, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days in such fiscal year through the Termination Date and the
denominator of which is 365.

Target Bonus shall mean 100% of the bonus potential established for you
by the Board or the Compensation Committee for the fiscal year during which the
Change in Control occurs.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Plan Administration. As the Plan Administrator, the Company has full
discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan, including
discretionary authority to determine eligibility for benefits under the Plan
and the amount of benefits (if any) payable per participant. Any determination
by the Plan Administrator will be final and conclusive upon all persons. When
benefits are due, they will be paid from the general assets of the Company.
The Company is not required to establish a trust to fund the Plan. The
benefits provided under this Plan are not assignable and may be conditioned
upon your compliance with any confidentiality agreement you have entered into
with the Company or upon your compliance with any Company policy or program
communicated to you in writing.

Claims Procedure. If you believe you are incorrectly denied a benefit
or are entitled to a greater benefit than the benefit you receive under the
Plan, you may submit a signed, written application to the Plan Administrator
within ninety (90) days of your termination. You will be notified of the
approval or denial of this claim within ninety (90) days of the date that the
Plan Administrator receives the claim, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim. If your claim is denied, the
notification will state specific reasons for the denial and you will have sixty
(60) days from receipt of the written notification of the denial of your claim
to file

5

 

a signed, written request for a review of the denial with the Plan
Administrator. This request should include the reasons you are requesting a
review, facts supporting your request and any other relevant comments.
Pursuant to its discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan
and to determine eligibility for benefits under the Plan, the Plan
Administrator will generally make a final, written determination of your
eligibility for benefits within sixty (60) days of receipt of your request for
review.

Plan Terms. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Plan supersedes
any and all prior separation, severance and salary continuation arrangements,
programs and plans which were previously offered by the Company for the purpose
of paying benefits upon a termination following a Change in Control, including
pursuant to employment agreement or offer letter. Nothing in this Plan shall
affect an employee’s right to severance benefits under circumstances not
involving a termination following a Change in Control. In no event, however,
shall any individual receive severance benefits under both this Plan and any
other separation, severance pay and salary continuation program, plan or other
arrangement with the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be effective to
constitute a material modification to any term of any extension of credit by
the Company or any renewal of any extension of credit that existed on July 30,
2002.

Plan Amendment or Termination. The Plan shall automatically terminate
on December 31, 2004 unless (a) a Change in Control has occurred prior to that
date, or (b) the term of the Plan is extended upon the vote of a two-thirds
majority of the Board of Directors for such additional period(s) as the Board
of Directors may specify in connection with the extension. The Company
reserves the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time upon the vote of
a two-thirds majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no
termination or amendment (other than the automatic termination that will occur
on December 31, 2004 or at the end of any period to which the Plan is extended
by the Board of Directors) which materially impairs the rights of an Eligible
Employee under the Plan will be effective if made (i) within six (6) months
prior to, (ii) on the date of or (iii) after, the occurrence of a Change in
Control. Any termination or amendment of the Plan may be made effective
immediately with respect to any benefits not yet paid, whether or not prior
notice of such amendment or termination has been given to affected employees.

Taxes. The Company will withhold all applicable taxes and other payroll
deductions from any severance payment.

No Right To Employment. This Plan does not provide you with any right
to continue employment with the Company or affect the Company’s right, which
right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of any
individual at any time for any reason with or without cause.

No Duplication of Benefits. This Plan may not constitute all of the
agreements between the Eligible Employees and the Company providing for
severance payments in connection with a termination of employment;
provided, however, that if an Eligible Employee is entitled to
severance payments pursuant to this Plan and pursuant to any other oral or
written agreements, commitments or understandings calling for severance
payments in connection with a termination of employment, the severance payments
paid to the Employee by the Company in connection

6

 

with such termination of employment shall be limited to the greater of (i)
severance payments provided pursuant to this Plan or (ii) severance payments
provided by the Company pursuant to such other oral or written agreements,
commitments or understandings. If the Employee is entitled to severance
payments pursuant to this Plan and pursuant to any other oral or written
agreements, commitments or understandings calling for severance payments in
connection with a termination of employment, the Employee shall determine, in
the Employee’s sole discretion, by notice given in writing to the Company,
which payments are greater.

Expenses. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable legal fees and
expenses incurred by the Employee in seeking to obtain or enforce, by bringing
an action against the Company, any right or benefit provided in this Plan if
the Employee is successful in whole or in part in such action.

STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS

As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and
protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled
to:

Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office, all Plan
documents, including all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department
of Labor.

Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written
request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a
reasonable charge for the copies.

Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report.

File suit in a federal court, if you, as a participant, request materials and
do not receive them within thirty (30) days of your request. In such a case,
the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and to
pay you a fine of up to $110 for each day’s delay until the materials are
received, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the
control of the Plan Administrator.

In addition to creating rights for certain employees of the Company under the
Plan, ERISA imposes obligations upon the people who are responsible for the
operation of the Plan. The people who operate the Plan (called “fiduciaries”)
have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of the Company’s employees
who are covered by the Plan.

No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise
discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit to
which you are entitled under the Plan or from exercising your rights under
ERISA.

If your claim for a severance benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in
part, you have a right to file suit in a federal or a state court. If Plan
fiduciaries are misusing the Plan’s assets (if any) or if you are discriminated
against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S.
Department of Labor or file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who
should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful in your lawsuit,
the court may, if it so decides, order

7

 

the party you have sued to pay your legal costs, including attorney fees.
However, if you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for
example, if it finds that your claim or suit is frivolous.

If you have any questions about the Plan, this statement or your rights under
ERISA, you should contact the Plan Administrator or the nearest Area Office of
the Employee Benefits Security Administration, listed in your telephone
directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee
Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210

COVENANTS

     Section 3.01 Collection of Payments on Loans; Trust Accounts.

     The Servicer shall establish with the Indenture Trustee and cause to be
maintained each of the Trust Accounts specified in Section 7.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall ensure that each of
the Trust Accounts is established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account
with a Qualified Institution. If any institution with which any of the Trust
Accounts established pursuant to subsection 7.01(a) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the
Servicer, or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case
may be) shall within 10 Business Days establish a replacement account at a
Qualified Institution after notice of such event. The Indenture Trustee shall
make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to
Section 3.03 and as provided in Section 3.05 herein from moneys
on deposit in the Note Distribution Account.

     Section 3.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

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

     The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Paying Agent for the
payment of principal and interest on the Notes. As provided in Section
3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes or
Hedge Agreements that are to be made from amounts

10

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11

 

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

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

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

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

     Section 3.04 Existence.

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

on the Notes in accordance with the terms of such Notes, this Indenture and the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) all amounts payable under the Hedge
Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof. The Issuer will cause to be
distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a
Remittance Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement
for the benefit of the Notes, to the applicable Noteholders, and for the
benefit of the Hedge Agreements, to the applicable Hedge Counterparties.
Amounts properly withheld under the Code or any applicable state law by any
Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all
purposes of this Indenture.

     Section 3.06 Protection of Indenture Collateral.

     (a) The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this
Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and
the Hedge Counterparties to be prior to all other liens in respect of the
Indenture Collateral, and the Issuer shall take or shall cause the Servicer to
take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, a
first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the
Indenture Collateral. In connection therewith, pursuant to Section 2.06
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall cause to be delivered
into the possession of the Indenture Trustee as pledgee hereunder, indorsed in
blank, any “instruments” (within the meaning of the UCC), not constituting part
of chattel paper, evidencing any Loan which is part of the Indenture Collateral
and all other portions of the Loan Files. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges
and agrees that (i) it holds the Loan Assets delivered to it under the Sale
Agreement for the benefit of the Trust Depositor, (ii) it holds the Loan Assets
delivered to it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the
Trust, and (iii) it holds the Indenture Collateral delivered to it pursuant to
this Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties.
The Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain continuous possession of such
delivered instruments and the Loan Files as pledgee hereunder until this
Indenture shall have terminated in accordance with its terms or until, pursuant
to the terms hereof or of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee is otherwise authorized to release
such instrument from the Indenture Collateral. The Servicer, on behalf of
the Issuer, will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared),
execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

     (i) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the
priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the
purposes hereof;

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

     (iii) enforce any of the Loans transferred to the Issuer as and to

rights of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Hedge
Counterparties in such Indenture Collateral against the claims of all
persons and parties.

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in or permitted by the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not remove any portion
of the Indenture Collateral that consists of money or is evidenced by an
instrument, certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction in which it was
held at the date of the most recent Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to
Section 3.07 (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described
in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to
subsection 3.07(a), if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered
pursuant to subsection 3.07(b)) unless the Indenture Trustee shall have
first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security
interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue
to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

     The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and
attorney–in–fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.06.

Indenture Trustee and Hedge Counterparties an Opinion of Counsel either stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect
to the delivery of the Underlying Notes (or, in the case of Noteless Loans, a
copy of the applicable Loan Register certified by a Responsible Officer of the
Servicer) and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution
and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are
necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this
Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and
security interest effective.

     (b) On or before December 31 in each calendar year, beginning in 2004, the
Servicer on behalf of the Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee and
Hedge Counterparties an
Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Issuer either stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to any
other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain
the perfection of the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and
reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such
counsel no such action is necessary to maintain the perfection of such lien and
security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe any other
requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements
and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until
December 31 in the following calendar year.

     Section 3.08 Furnishing of Rule 144A Information.

any owner of a beneficial interest therein, such information as is specified in
paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A

14

 

under the Securities Act (i) to such Noteholder
or beneficial owner, (ii) to a prospective purchaser of such Note or interest
therein who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer designated by such Noteholder or
beneficial owner, or (iii) to the Indenture Trustee for delivery to such
Noteholder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser, in order to permit
compliance by such Noteholder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A in connection
with the resale of such Note or beneficial interest therein by such Noteholder
or beneficial owner in reliance on Rule 144A unless, at the time of such
request, the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, or exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b)
under the Exchange Act.

     Section 3.09 Performance of Obligations; Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

     (a) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations
and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Transaction Documents and in
the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Collateral.

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

     (c) The Issuer will not take any action or permit any action to be taken
by others which would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or
obligations under any of the documents relating to the Loans or under any
instrument included in the Indenture Collateral, or which would result in the
amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair
the validity or effectiveness of, any of the documents relating to the Loans or
any such instrument, except such actions as the Servicer is expressly permitted
to take in the Transaction Documents.

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

     Section 3.10 Negative Covenants.

     So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

15

 

     (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or any other
Transaction Document, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of
the Indenture Collateral, unless directed to do so by the Indenture
Trustee;

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

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

     (iv) except as contemplated in the Transaction Documents, dissolve
or liquidate in whole or in part.

and the Rating Agencies, within 90 days after the end of each calendar year
(commencing with the calendar year ending 2004), an Officer’s Certificate
stating, as to the Person signing such Officer’s Certificate, that:

its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Person’s
supervision or direction; and

     (ii) to the best of such Person’s knowledge, based on such review,
the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under this

     The Issuer has pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties all of its rights under the Sale
Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture Trustee has
the benefit of the representations and warranties made by the Originator and
the Trust Depositor in such documents concerning the Loans transferred into the
Loan Assets and the right to enforce any remedy against the Originator and the
Trust Depositor provided in the Sale Agreement and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, to the same extent as though such representations and warranties
were made directly to the Indenture Trustee.

provided that each such Hedge Transaction shall:

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

     (ii) have a schedule of periodic payment periods which terminate not
later than the date on which the Outstanding Amount of the Notes is
expected to be reduced to zero based on the contractual provisions of the
Loans as in effect from time to time;

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

     (iv) be maintained so that (A) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all
Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans for any current or future
calculation period will not be greater than nor less than the Outstanding
Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the corresponding Due
Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount, (B) the
Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any
interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans for
any current or future calculation period will not be greater than nor
less than the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans
at the end of the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating
Prime Rate Permitted Excess Amount and (C) the Aggregate Notional Amount
of all Hedge Transactions (excluding any interest rate cap transactions)
under all Hedge Agreements then in effect for any current or future
calculation period shall not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period; and

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

     (b) As additional security hereunder, the Issuer hereby assigns to the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty,
all right, title and interest of the Issuer in each Hedge Agreement, each Hedge
Transaction, and all present and future amounts payable by a Hedge Counterparty
to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the respective Hedge Agreement
and Hedge Transaction(s) with that Hedge Counterparty (“Hedge
Collateral”),

25

 

and Grants a security interest to the Indenture Trustee, as
agent for the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, in the Hedge Collateral.
The Issuer acknowledges that, as a result of that assignment, the Issuer may
not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, exercise any
rights under any Hedge Agreement or Hedge Transaction, except for the Issuer’s
right under any Hedge Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to
meet the Issuer’s obligations under Section 3.32 hereof or except as
otherwise contemplated in this Section 3.32 and in subsection
5.02(g) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Nothing herein shall have the
effect of releasing the Issuer from any of its obligations under any Hedge
Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as requiring the consent
of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder or any Hedge Counterparty for the
performance by the Issuer of any such obligations.

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

     (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from the Issuer, establish a
single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account, which shall be held in trust in the name of
the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge
Counterparties and over which the Trustee shall have the exclusive control and
the sole right of withdrawal. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit all
collateral received from a Hedge Counterparty under a Hedge Agreement in the
Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on
deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral
Account shall be held in trust by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The only permitted withdrawal from
or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account shall be upon Issuer Order (i) for application
to obligations of a Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under Hedge Agreement if
such Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination or (ii) to return
collateral to such Hedge Counterparty when and as required by such Hedge
Agreement. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such Issuer
Order. Each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in accordance
with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement.

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

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

     So long as any of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B

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

authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Indenture Trustee to
or upon the order of the Issuer.

     Section 4.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

     (a) The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept a Note Register (the
“Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the
registration of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The
Indenture Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note Register
shall contain the name, remittance instructions, Class of each Noteholder, as
well as the Series and the number in the Series.

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

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

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

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

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

28

 

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

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

     (f) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Servicer advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able
to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with
respect to the Global Notes and the Servicer is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Servicer at its sole option elects to
terminate the book–entry system through the Depository, the Global Notes shall
no longer be restricted to being registered in the Note Register in the name of
Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that
time, the Servicer may determine that the Global Notes shall be registered in
the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a global
book–entry system, as may be acceptable to the Servicer, or such depository’s
agent or designee but, if the Servicer does not select such alternative global
book–entry system, then upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Global
Notes by the Depository, accompanied by the registration instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Indenture Trustee shall at the Servicer’s
expense authenticate Individual Notes. Neither the Servicer nor the Indenture
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Individual Notes, the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Issuer shall recognize the
Holders of the Individual Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

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

29

 

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

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

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

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

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

     (i) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual
Note if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has
provided the Note Registrar with a Rule 144A Certification; or

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

30

 

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

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

beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this
subsection 4.02(j)(i). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its
Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing

such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit
E hereto
given by the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest,
the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the

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

Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in
such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable
Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest
for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note only
upon compliance with the provisions of this subsection
4.02(j)(ii). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate
Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures from a

31

 

Depository Participant directing the Note
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified
Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global Note in an amount equal to the denomination of the beneficial

with, and the account of the Depository Participant to be debited for,
such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit
F hereto given by the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such
interest, the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the
denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate denomination
of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so
transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the
denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate
denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to

at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S
Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form
of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may,
in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or
cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note only upon compliance
with the provisions of this subsection 4.02(j)(iii). Upon receipt
by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written
instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a
Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to
be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to
the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Note to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the
Depository Participant to be credited with, and the account of the
Depository Participant (or, if such account is held for Euroclear or

be debited for such beneficial interest, and (3) with respect to a
transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for a
beneficial interest in the related Rule 144A Global Note (i) during the
Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit
G hereto given by the Beneficial Owner, or (ii) after the
Distribution Compliance Period, a Rule 144A Certification from the
transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified
Institutional Buyer, the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository to
reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the
denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note
to be transferred, and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the
denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate denomination
of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so
transferred, and to credit or

32

 

cause to be credited to the account of the

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

     (iv) Transfers Within Regulation S Global Notes During
Distribution Compliance Period. If, during the Distribution
Compliance Period, the Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Regulation S
Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in
such Trust Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a Regulation S Global Note, such Beneficial Owner may
transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an
equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note only upon
compliance with the provisions of this subsection 4.02(j)(iv) and
all Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its
Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance

be debited for, such beneficial interest and (3) a certificate in the
form of Exhibit H hereto given by the transferee, the Note
Registrar shall instruct the Depository to credit or cause to be credited
to the account of
the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository
Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both,
as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note
having a denomination equal to the amount specified in such instructions
by which the account to be debited was reduced upon such transfer. The
Note Registrar shall not be required to monitor compliance by Beneficial
Owners of the provisions of this subsection 4.02(j)(iv).

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

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

33

 

     (ii) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a
Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing to take
delivery in the form of an Individual Note will be registered by the Note
Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of subsection
4.02(j) and if the Note Registrar is provided with a Rule 144A
Certification or a Regulation S Transfer Certificate, as applicable.

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

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

34

 

case may be) a corresponding denomination of
the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be.

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

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

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

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

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

     (r) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this
Section 4.02, the holder of any Individual Note may transfer or exchange
the same in whole or in part (in an initial Note balance equal to the minimum
authorized denomination of $500,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof) by surrendering such Note at the Corporate Trust Office, or at
the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of
assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note
Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the
case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may,
subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or
its nominee) to notify the Note Registrar in writing of a request for transfer
or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Note or Notes.
Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Note Registrar shall,
within five (5) Business Days of such request made at such Corporate Trust
Office, cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and the Note Registrar to
deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of
transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at
the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the

35

 

case of
exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder, as applicable, may
request, an Individual Note or Notes, as the case may require, for a like
aggregate Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or
denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange
of any Individual Note shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust
Office by the registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized
attorney–in–fact.

     (s) No transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. No
transfer of any Note shall be made if such transfer would require the Issuer to
register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. In the
event of any such transfer, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule
144A under the Securities Act or Regulation S under the Securities Act, (i) the
Indenture Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made
pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, or the Servicer and (ii) the Indenture
Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a Transferee Letter certifying
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,
which Transferee Letter shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer or the Servicer. The holder of a Note desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and by accepting a Note and the benefits of this Indenture does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer and the
Initial Purchasers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Depositor or
the Initial Purchasers intends or is obligated to register or qualify any Note
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

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

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

     (v) No Class E Note may be acquired directly or indirectly, for, on behalf
of or with plan assets of an employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement subject to ERISA,

36

 

and/or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a
“Plan”). No transfer of a Class E Note representing an Individual Note
shall be made unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received a certification
from the transferee of such Individual Note, acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to the effect
that such transferee is acquiring a Class E Note in conformance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, in the event any purported transfer of any Class E Note
representing an Individual Note is made without delivery of the certification
referred to above, such certification shall be deemed to have been made by the
Transferee by its acceptance of such Individual Note.

     Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

     Subject to UCC § 8–405, if (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture
Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer
shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been
called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may
pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the
Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the
proviso to the
preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of
which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note,
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such
replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or
any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a
protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense
incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

37

 

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

     Section 4.04 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

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

     (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Remittance Date as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes
shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee with
the consent of the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and
payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal
payments among the Classes of Notes shall be made in the order and priorities
set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and all principal
payments on the Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of such Class. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in
whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
preceding the Remittance Date on which the Issuer expects that the final
installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final
Remittance Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place
where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such
installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed
to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.

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

38

 

obtain a new physical instrument from the paying agent and
transfer agent in Ireland in accordance with this Indenture.

     Section 4.05 Tax Treatment.

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

     It is the intent of the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Class E
Noteholder and the Certificateholder that, (i) in the event that the Trust
Certificate and the Class E Note are owned by a single Holder, for federal
income tax purposes, the Trust will be treated as a division of such
Holder, and such Holder, by acceptance of the Trust Certificate and the
Class E Note, agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment and
(ii) in the event that the Trust Certificates and/or the Class E Notes are
owned by more than one (1) Holder, for federal income tax purposes, the Trust
will be treated as a partnership, the partners of which are the
Certificateholders and the Class E Noteholders, and each Certificateholder and
Class E Noteholder, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate and a Class E Note,
respectively, agree to treat the Trust Certificate and the Class E Note as
equity and to take no action inconsistent with such treatment.

     Section 4.06 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the
Notes except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii)
substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (iii) rights of
Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv)
Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.10, 3.19,
3.21, 3.22, 4.05 and 11.16, (v) the rights,
obligations and immunities of the Indenture Trustee hereunder (including the
rights of the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations
of the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.07) and (vi) the rights of
Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited
with the Indenture Trustee payable to all or any of them, and the Indenture

39

 

Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to the Notes, when:

     (A) either

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

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

(i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

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

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

     Section 4.07 Application of Trust Money.

     All moneys deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section
4.06 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with
the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through any Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of Notes for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been
deposited with the Indenture Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon
for

40

 

principal and interest; but such moneys need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required herein or in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or required by law.

     Section 4.08 Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

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

     If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every
such case the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Noteholders may declare the

Indenture Collateral, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

Counterparties and by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

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, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and

pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

     (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of

incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad

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

Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

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

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

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture
(including, without limitation, Sections 5.4(a), 5.10 and
5.11), if the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under Section
10.01 when and as due, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the

shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C),
the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
 as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Indenture Collateral for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long
as a Servicer Default has not occurred, any Sale of the Indenture Collateral
shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Loans by the Servicer
as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

     Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Indenture Collateral.

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

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

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

     (v) (A) prior to the payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the

of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E Notes.

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

48

 

preference over
any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided.

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

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

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any

Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such
Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

     Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

     Section 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

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

49

 

     Section 5.11 Control by Noteholders.

     The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:

     (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;

     (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any
direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture
Collateral shall be by Holders of the Notes representing (A) prior to the
payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, 100% of the aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of all Class A-1 Notes, all Class A-2

the payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the
Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, the Class A-1

by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

     Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section
5.11, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take
any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders or Hedge Counterparties not
consenting to such action.

50

 

     Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

     Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such
Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit
instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder,
or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 25% of

this Indenture.

     Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit

or more Sales as to any portion of the Indenture Collateral remaining unsold,
but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Indenture Collateral shall have
been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall
have been paid. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any
amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

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

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

     (ii) the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that
the conditions for retention of the Indenture Collateral set forth in
Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (in making any such
determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an
opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm
obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05, and the
Majority Noteholders consent to such Sale, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld).

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

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

     (ii) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property
offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, Requirements of Law in
connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Indenture

make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price
against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the
Holders of the Notes and Hedge Counterparties as a result of such Sale in
accordance with subsection 5.04(b) on the Remittance Date next
succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of
any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it,
without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such
Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such
Notes, and any property so

52

 

acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be
held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture;

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

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

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

     Section 5.16 Action on Notes.

     The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or
under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or
application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.
Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture
Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by
the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture
Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property
collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with
subsection 5.04(b).

     Section 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

     (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the

cause the Trust Depositor to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and
all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in
connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its
duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Trust
Depositor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Trust Depositor shall not
relieve the Issuer or the Trust Depositor of its obligations hereunder or under
the Trust Agreement. Neither the Issuer nor the Trust Depositor need reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.

     The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in clauses (iv) or (v) of the definition of “Event of
Default” with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     Section 6.08 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

     No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor

57

 

Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer. The Majority Noteholders or the Issuer, with the written consent of
the Majority Noteholders, may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing and may appoint a
successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

58

 

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

     Section 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

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

     In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such
Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in
this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall
have.

     Section 6.10 Appointment of Co–Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons, to act as a co–trustee or co–trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Collateral,
and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, such interest to the Indenture
Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co–trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor Indenture Trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to the
Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties of the appointment of any co–trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof. No
appointment of a co–trustee or a separate trustee shall relieve the Indenture
Trustee of its duties and obligations hereunder.

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

59

 

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

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

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

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

     (d) Any separate trustee or co–trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney–in–fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect
of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co–trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

     Section 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification.

     The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) a national
banking association or banking corporation or trust company organized and doing
business under the laws of any state or the United States, (ii) authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, (iv) having unsecured and
unguaranteed long–term debt obligations rated at least Baa3 by Moody’s, BBB by
Fitch and BBB– by S&P, and (v) is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of

60

 

this
Section 6.11 its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.11, the Indenture Trustee shall (a) give
prompt notice to the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Noteholders
and the Hedge Counterparties that it has so ceased to be eligible to be the
Indenture Trustee and (b) resign, upon the request of the Majority Noteholders
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08.

     Section 6.12 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Indenture
Trustee.

     The Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations,
warranties and covenants on which the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the
Servicer, the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties shall rely:

the United States.

Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

     (c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall
not (i) violate any provision of any law or any order, writ, judgment or decree

Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) violate any provision of the corporate
charter or by–laws of the Indenture Trustee or (iii) violate any provision of,
or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in
the Indenture Collateral pursuant to the provisions of, any mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party,
which violation, default or lien could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the Indenture Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its
duties under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party or the transactions contemplated in this Indenture and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

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

relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the application of
equitable principles in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees

61

 

and covenants that it will not at any time in
the future, deny that this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Indenture Trustee.

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

     Section 6.13 Directions to Indenture Trustee.

     The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed:

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

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

     (iii) to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party; and

     (iv) to take all other actions as shall be required to be taken by
the terms of this Indenture.

     If a Default occurs and is continuing and the Indenture Trustee is deemed
to have a “conflicting interest” (as defined in the TIA) as a result of acting
as trustee for the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Note, the Issuer shall appoint
a successor Indenture Trustee for the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the

Class E Note so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class
A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the
Class D Notes on the one hand, and for the Class E Note on the other hand. No
such event shall alter the voting rights of the Noteholders under this

authorized by an Issuer Order, at

65

 

any time and from time to time, may enter
into one or more indentures supplemental, in form satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

     (i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any

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

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

into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the

to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
respective due dates thereof;

     (ii) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such

required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in
this Indenture;

67

 

     (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 Aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to
sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral pursuant to Section
5.04;

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

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

     (vii) change the definition of Eligible Loan.

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

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

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

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

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

68

 

     Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

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

     Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

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

     Section 9.05 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

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

ARTICLE X

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION OF NOTES

     Section 10.01 Optional Redemption.

     At any time when the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance is less than or
equal to 10% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance, the Issuer may
redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any
Remittance Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Loan
Assets (other than the Trust Accounts) pursuant to said Section 10.01 by
depositing in full in the Note Distribution Account an amount equal to the
Redemption Price. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section
10.01, the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Indenture Trustee and
the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption no later than 10 days prior to
the proposed Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture

69

 

Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the Redemption Price of the Notes to
be redeemed and all Hedge Transactions then outstanding under any Hedge
Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable to the
Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage Costs, shall be paid in full on
the Redemption Date, and all such Notes shall be due and payable on the
Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section
10.02 to each Holder of Notes.

     Section 10.02 Form of Redemption Notice.

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

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (i) the Redemption Date;

     (ii) the Redemption Price;

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

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

     Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of
redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair
or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

     Section 10.03 Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

     The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required
by Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the
Redemption Price and no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any
period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.01 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Indenture Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in subsection
11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person
signing such certificate as to the estimated fair value (within 90 days of such
deposit) to the Issuer of the Indenture Collateral or other property or
securities to be so deposited.

     (ii) Subject to clause (iii), whenever any property or
securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer
shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing

71

 

such certificate
as to the estimated fair value (within ninety (90) days of such release)
of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in
the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the
security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

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

     Section 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

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

     Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which the certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate
of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Issuer, the
Trust Depositor, or other appropriate Person, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Trust Depositor or such other Person, unless such counsel knows
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters
are erroneous.

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

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

72

 

     Section 11.03 Acts of Noteholders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed
in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive
in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section 11.03.

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

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

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

     Section 11.04 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee and Others.

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

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

     (ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed
first–class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: CapitalSource
Commercial Loan Trust 2004-1, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, One Rodney
Square North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration, with a copy to CapitalSource Finance LLC at 4445 Willard
Avenue, 12th Floor, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, Attention: Controller,
or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture
Trustee by the Issuer, CapitalSource or the Trust Depositor. The Issuer
shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to
the Indenture Trustee.

     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally
delivered or mailed by certified mail, return

73

 

receipt requested, to (i) in the
case of S&P, at the following address: Standard and Poor’s Rating Service, 55
Water Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10007, Attention: Surveillance:
Asset–Backed Services, (ii) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: 55
East Monroe Street, Suite 3500, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention: CDO
Surveillance, and (iii) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address:
Moody’s Investors Service, ABS Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New
York, New York 10007, cdomonitoring@moodys.com; or as to each of the foregoing,
at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other
parties; provided, however, that no notice shall be required to
be given to the Rating agencies until a Class of Notes has been rated by such
Rating Agency.

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

     Section 11.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by
first–class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and
not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.
In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure
to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular
Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall
conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

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

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

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

74

 

     Section 11.06 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.

     Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the
contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note
providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any
Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in
this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the
Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will
cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such
agreements.

     Section 11.07 Effect of Headings.

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

     Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns.

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

     Section 11.09 Severability.

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

     Section 11.10 Benefits of Indenture.

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

     Section 11.11 Legal Holidays.

     In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a
Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this
Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date
on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and
after any such nominal date.

     Section 11.12 GOVERNING LAW.

     (a) THIS INDENTURE, EACH SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE

75

 

OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

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

     Section 11.13 Counterparts.

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by
facsimile), each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     Section 11.14 Issuer Obligation.

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

     Section 11.15 No Petition.

     The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each
Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not
prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after payment in full
of each Class of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, institute against the Trust
Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Trust Depositor
or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating
to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents.

76

 

     Section 11.16 Inspection; Confidentiality.

     The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business
hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Issuer’s
normal operations, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and
other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause
such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to
discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers,
employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable
times, in such reasonable manner, and as often as may be reasonably requested.
The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives, its legal
counsel and its auditors to hold in confidence all such information except to
the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications
for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may
reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations
hereunder and under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all parties to which this Indenture relates may disclose to
any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions
or other tax analyses) that are provided to such investors relating to such tax
treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax
treatment,” “tax structure,” and “tax analyses” have the meaning given to such
terms under Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

     Section 11.17 Limitation of Liability.

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

     Section 11.18 Disclaimer and Subordination.

     Each Noteholder by accepting a Note and each Hedge Counterparty by
accepting the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and agrees that this
Indenture and the Notes represent a debt obligation of the Issuer only and do
not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Indenture Collateral)
of the Trust Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect
of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Assets and
proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing,
each Noteholder by accepting a Note and each Hedge Counterparty by accepting
the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and

77

 

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

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

     This Class A-1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A-1 Notes
of the Issuer, designated as its CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes,
Series 2004-1, Class A-1 (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all
issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2004 (such indenture, as
supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the
“Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Class A-1 Notes. The Class A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Class A-1 Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

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

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

     On each Remittance Date, commencing July 20, 2004, the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class A-1
Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date an amount equal
to the product of the Percentage Interest of the Class A-1 Notes evidenced by
this Class A-1 Note and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of
Class A-1 Notes on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
Indenture.

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

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

A-1-5

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Indenture shall
terminate upon the payment to Class A-1 Noteholders of all amounts required to
be paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the disposition of all property held as part of the Indenture Collateral.

Series 2004-1, Class A-2 (herein called the “Class A-2 Notes”), all
issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2004 (such indenture, as
supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the
“Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Class A-2 Notes. The Class A-2 Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Class A-2 Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

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

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

     On each Remittance Date, commencing July 20, 2004, the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class A-2
Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date an amount equal
to the product of the Percentage Interest of the Class A-2 Notes evidenced by
this Class A-2 Note and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of
Class A-2 Notes on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
Indenture.

     During each Interest Accrual Period, this Class A-2 Note will bear
interest at the Class A-2 Note Interest Rate.

     Distributions on this Class A-2 Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such name and address shall appear on the Note Register or, upon written
request to the Indenture Trustee, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto as shall appear on the Note
Register without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of
any notation thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, and, in the
case of wire transfers, at the expense of such Person unless such Person
shall own of record Class A-2 Notes which have Initial Class A-2 Principal
Balances aggregating at least $500,000.

A-2-5

 

     Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class A-2 Note
will be made after due notice by the Indenture Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-2 Note at
the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar in New
York, New York.

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

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Class A-2 Note is registrable in the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-2 Note for registration of transfer at
the offices or agencies maintained by the Note Registrar in New York, New York,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to, the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the holder hereof or
such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Class A-2 Notes in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
undivided Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Class A-2 Note is issuable only as a registered Class A-2 Note. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Class A-2 Note is exchangeable for a new Class A-2 Note evidencing the same
undivided ownership interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

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

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

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Indenture shall
terminate upon the payment to Class A-2 Noteholders of all amounts required to
be paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the disposition of all property held as part of the Indenture Collateral.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

     This Class E Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class E Notes of
the Issuer, designated as its CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series
2004-1, Class E (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of June 22, 2004 (such indenture, as supplemented or
amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture
Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Class E Notes. The Class E Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Class E Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

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

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

     On each Remittance Date, commencing July 20, 2004, the Indenture Trustee
or Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Class E Note
is registered on the close of business on the Record Date an amount equal to
the product of the Percentage Interest of the Class E Notes evidenced by this
Class E Note and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Class E
Notes on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture.

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

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

A-6-5

 

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

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

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

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

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

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