4

Exhibit 10.16

(x)    the method by which the principal amount of Notes of such Series shall amortize or accrete;
(xi)    the names of any Series Accounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such accounts and the use of moneys therein;
(xii)    the Series Servicing Fee and the Series Backup Servicing Fee;
(xiii)    the terms on which the Notes of such Series may be redeemed, repurchased or remarketed to other investors;
(xiv)    any deposit of funds to be made into any Series Account on the Series Closing Date;
(xv)    the number of Classes of such Series, and if more than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class;
(xvi)    the priority of any Series of Notes with respect to any other Series of Notes;
(xvii)    the interest rate hedges required to be maintained with respect to such Series, if any; and
(xviii)    any other relevant terms of such Series (including whether or not such Series will be pledged as collateral for an issuance by an Affiliate Issuer) that do not change the terms of any Series of Notes Outstanding and that do not prevent the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to the issuance of such new Series of Notes (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series).
The terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Base Indenture solely as applied to such new Series of Notes.  
(d)    Unless otherwise specified in a Series Supplement for a new Series of Notes, the Issuer may direct the Indenture Trustee to deposit all or a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of such new Series of Notes into a Series Account for another Series of Notes and may specify that the proceeds from the sale of such new Series of Notes may be used to reduce the Invested Amount of another Series of Notes.
Section 2.3.    Execution and Authentication.  
(a)    The Notes shall, upon issue pursuant to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer and delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein.  The signature of such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.  Delivery of the executed Notes by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in pdf format) shall be as effective as delivery of manually executed Notes.  If an Authorized Officer whose signature 

5

Exhibit 10.16

is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.
(b)    At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes of any particular Series of Notes executed by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Issuer Orders for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with such Issuer Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.  If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States the Global Note that is issued upon original issuance thereof, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to the Depository against payment of the purchase price therefor.  If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate Book-Entry Notes that are issued upon original issuance thereof, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to a Clearing Agency, or its nominee as provided in Section 2.10 against payment of the purchase price thereof.  
(c)    No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, duly executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of a Responsible Officer.  Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated under the Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes.  Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Indenture Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Base Indenture to authentication by the Indenture Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  The Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:
This is one of the Notes of a Series of Notes issued under the within mentioned Indenture.
DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Indenture Trustee
By:  ________________________________ 
        Authorized Signatory
(d)    Each Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Indenture Trustee.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14, together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been 

6

Exhibit 10.16

authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
Section 2.4.    Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.  
(a)    The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”), a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Notes of each Series of Notes (unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement) and of transfers and exchanges of the Notes as herein provided.  Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is hereby initially appointed Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purposes of registering the Notes and transfers and exchanges of the Notes as herein provided.  Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Indenture Trustee has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar with the written consent of the Issuer.  
If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Transfer Agent and Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Transfer Agent and Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof.
An institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall continue to be the Transfer Agent and Registrar without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such Transfer Agent and Registrar.
The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall maintain in The City of New York (and, if so specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes, any other city designated in such Indenture Supplement) an office or offices or agency or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.  The Transfer Agent and Registrar initially designates DB Services Americas, Inc., MSJCK01-0218, 5022 Gate Parkway, Suite 200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256, Attention: Shareholder Services for such purposes.  The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and to the Noteholders of any change in the location of such office or agency.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.4(b) and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate principal amount.

7

Exhibit 10.16

At the option of any Holder of Registered Notes, Registered Notes may be exchanged for other Registered Notes of the same Series of Notes in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Registered Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose.
Whenever any Notes of any Series of Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.  
The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Note of any Series of Notes for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment in full of the Notes of such Series.
Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment 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 registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Notes upon its exchange in full for Definitive Notes.
The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under the Indenture and the Notes.
None of the Indenture Trustee, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any 

8

Exhibit 10.16

interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
The Indenture Trustee, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.
(b)    Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the Indenture Supplement relating to such Notes) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such related Indenture Supplement are satisfied.
Section 2.5.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  
If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Indenture Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof.  If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar 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, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.5, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any 

9

Exhibit 10.16

other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith.  Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed note shall be found at any time.
Section 2.6.    Appointment of Paying Agent.  
(a)    The Indenture Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent with respect to the Notes.  The Indenture Trustee hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the initial Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds and make distributions to Noteholders from the appropriate account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Noteholders as specified in this Base Indenture or the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes pursuant to Article 5.  The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under the Indenture in any material respect or for other good cause.  The Indenture Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency, if any, of the removal of any Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Indenture Trustee.  In the event that any Paying Agent shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company and may be the Indenture Trustee) with the written consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not be required if such successor Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee. Any reference in the Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent (other than itself) to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee that such Paying Agent will:
(i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(ii)    give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;
(iii)    at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;
(iv)    immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

10

Exhibit 10.16

(v)    comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.
An institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Paying Agent shall continue to be the Paying Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent.
(c)    Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent or a Clearing Agency 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 Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the 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, may at the written direction and expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London, if applicable, 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 may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.
Section 2.7.    Persons Deemed Owners.  
Prior to due presentation of a Note for registration of transfer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article 5 (as described in any Indenture Supplement) and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.8.    Noteholder List.  
The Indenture Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Issuer or the Paying Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a written request therefor from the Issuer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as the Issuer or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series of Notes as of the most recent Record 

11

Exhibit 10.16

Date for payments to such Noteholders.  Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, Noteholders of any Series of Notes having an aggregate principal amount aggregating not less than 10% of the Invested Amount of such Series (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders of any Series of Notes with respect to their rights under the Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee, after having been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Indenture Trustee and shall give the Issuer notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application.  Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request.  Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be held liable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.
The Indenture Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.  If the Indenture Trustee is not the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Payment Date and at such other time as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.
Section 2.9.    Treasury Notes.  
In determining whether the Noteholders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer (other than an Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of which the Indenture Trustee has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded.  The Issuer shall promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee written notice of the acquisition, transfer or other ownership of any Notes by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer (other than an Affiliate Issuer); provided that the failure to furnish such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default, an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes, or any other default or adverse consequence under the Transaction Documents.  Absent written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such ownership, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual beneficial owners of the Notes. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by, or for the account of, the Issuer or any Affiliate of 

12

Exhibit 10.16

the Issuer (other than an Affiliate Issuer), and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are entitled to participate in any direction, waiver, consent for the purpose of any such determination.  
Section 2.10.    Book-Entry Notes.  
Unless otherwise provided in any related Indenture Supplement, the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Indenture Supplement (the “Depository”) which shall be the Clearing Agency, on behalf of such Series of Notes.  The Notes of each Series of Notes shall, unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency.  No Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive note representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the related Series of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.11.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes of any Series of Notes (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:
(a)    the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series;
(b)    the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners; and
(c)    the rights of Beneficial Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in the Indenture to actions by the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in the Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency, as registered holder of the Notes of such Series for distribution to the Beneficial Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing Agency.  Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series of Notes, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants.
Section 2.11.    Definitive Notes. 
(a)    The Notes of any Series of Notes, to the extent provided in the related Indenture Supplement, upon original issuance, may be issued in the form of Definitive Notes.  

13

Exhibit 10.16

The applicable Indenture Supplement shall set forth the legend relating to the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Definitive Notes and such other restrictions as may be applicable.
(b)    If (i) (A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement, and (B) the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of Notes or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Beneficial Owners of a Majority in Interest of a Series of Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Beneficial Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Beneficial Owners of such Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners of such Series requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Notes of such Series by the applicable Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency for registration, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither the Issuer 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 Definitive Notes of such Series all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series as Noteholders of such Series hereunder.
Section 2.12.    Global Note.  
If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes, the Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Global Note (the “Global Note”) in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the Initial Invested Amount and substantially in the form attached to the related Indenture Supplement.  Unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall apply to such Global Note.  The Global Note will be authenticated by the Indenture Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Notes.  The Global Note may be exchanged in the manner described in the related Indenture Supplement for Registered Notes in definitive form.
Section 2.13.    Principal and Interest.  

14

Exhibit 10.16

(a)    The principal of each Series of Notes shall be payable at the times and in the amount set forth in the related Indenture Supplement and in accordance with Section 6.1.
(b)    Each Series of Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the related Indenture Supplement and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date for such Series in accordance with Section 6.1 and the related Indenture Supplement.
(c)    Except as provided in the following sentence, the Person in whose name any Note is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to a Payment Date for such Note shall be entitled to receive the principal and interest payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any registration of transfer, exchange or substitution of such Note subsequent to such Record Date.  Any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable.
(d)    If the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on the Notes of any Series of Notes, such interest, to the extent paid on any date that is more than five Business Days after the applicable due date, shall, at the option of the Issuer, cease to be payable to the Persons who were Noteholders of such Series on the applicable Record Date and the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner, plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Noteholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date, at the rate provided in the Indenture and in the Notes of such Series.  The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, and at least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to Noteholders of such Series a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid; provided, however, that if the Issuer elects to have the Indenture Trustee mail such notice to the Noteholders of such Series in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, then the Issuer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed to the Noteholders of such Series, an Issuer Order requesting that the Indenture Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice.
Section 2.14.    Cancellation.
The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.  The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall forward to the Indenture Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Indenture Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and the principal of and all accrued interest on all such cancelled Notes shall be deemed to have been paid in full (and such payment of principal and interest shall be deemed to have been made to the relevant Noteholders) and such cancelled Notes shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding for all purposes hereunder.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes to 

15

Exhibit 10.16

replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation.  All cancelled Notes held by the Indenture Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Indenture Trustee’s standard disposition procedures unless the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it pursuant to an Issuer Order.
ARTICLE 3.

(a)    To secure the Issuer Obligations, the Issuer hereby pledges, assigns, conveys, delivers, transfers and sets over to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, and hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by the Issuer or in which the Issuer now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”):

The Issuer shall pay, or reimburse the Indenture Trustee for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts that may be payable or reasonably determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Indenture.

On or prior to the date hereof, the Issuer, the Lockbox Account Depository and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Lockbox Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Issuer shall establish and maintain the Lockbox Account for the benefit of the Noteholders.

If so provided in the related Indenture Supplement, the Issuer, for the benefit of the related Noteholders, shall establish and maintain one or more Series Accounts and/or administrative subaccounts of the Collection Account to facilitate the proper allocation of Collections in accordance with the terms of such Indenture Supplement.  Each such Series Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders of such Series.  Each such Series Account will be an 

21

Exhibit 10.16

Eligible Deposit Account, if so provided in the related Indenture Supplement and will have the other features and be applied as set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.  
(d)    Administration of the Collection Account and the Lockbox Account.  The funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Lockbox Account shall remain uninvested.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in the Indenture.  Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Issuer Assets, the Indenture Trustee may (without obligation) take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.  Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and any right to proceeds thereafter as provided in Article 9.
Section 5.3.    Collections and Allocations.  
(a)    Collections in General.  Until this Base Indenture and all Indenture Supplements are terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, the Issuer shall cause all Collections due and to become due to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, under or in connection with the Collateral (other than any amounts constituting Overpayment Amounts) to be remitted directly into the Collection Account or the Lockbox Account in accordance with Section 2(a)(i) of the Servicing Agreement.  The Issuer agrees that if any Collections shall be received by the Issuer in an account other than the Collection Account or the Lockbox Account, such monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds will not be commingled by the Issuer with any of its other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by the Issuer for, and immediately (but in any event within two Business Days from receipt) remitted to, the Collection Account or the Lockbox Account, as applicable.  Any Collections that are received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in this Article 5.  
(b)    Allocations for Noteholders.  On each Deposit Date, the Issuer shall allocate the Collections deposited into the Collection Account on such Deposit Date in accordance with this Article 5 and shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw the required amounts from the Collection Account and make the required deposits in any Series Account in accordance with this Article 5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement.  The Issuer shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes.  The Issuer has agreed to furnish to the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, written instructions to make the aforementioned withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series 

22

Exhibit 10.16

Accounts specified herein or in any Indenture Supplement.  The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly follow any such written instructions.  
(c)    Sharing Collections.  In the manner described in the related Indenture Supplement, to the extent that Collections that are allocated to any Series of Notes on a Deposit Date are not needed to make payments to Noteholders of such Series of Notes or required to be deposited in a Series Account for such Series Notes on such Deposit Date, such Collections may, at the direction of the Issuer, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of Noteholders of another Series of Notes.  Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction in the Invested Amount of the Series of Notes to which such Collections were initially allocated.
(d)    Allocations After Certain Events of Default.  If all Series of Notes Outstanding shall have been declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2 as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default defined in clause (d) or (e) of Section 9.1, then to the extent that Collections that are allocated to any Series of Notes on a Payment Date are not needed to make payments of principal of, or interest on, the Notes of such Series, such Collections shall be applied to cover principal payments due on the Notes of all other Series of Notes then Outstanding on a pro rata basis based on the Invested Percentages of such other Series of Notes.
 [THE REMAINDER OF ARTICLE 5 IS RESERVED AND MAY BE SPECIFIED IN ANY INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERIES OF NOTES.]

Section 6.2.    Optional Prepayment Notes.

26

Exhibit 10.16

The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders that as of the date hereof and each Series Closing Date:
(a)    This Base Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.
(b)    The Pooled Loans constitute “accounts,” “payment intangibles” or the proceeds thereof under the UCC, each of the Collection Account and the Lockbox Account constitutes a “deposit account” under the UCC, and the remaining Collateral constitutes “general intangibles” under the UCC.
(c)    It owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
(d)    Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Base Indenture, it has not pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in the Collateral. It has not authorized the filing of, nor is it aware of, any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to any security interest granted pursuant hereto. It is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.
(e)    The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Any financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Collateral contains or will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Base Indenture, the perfection representations contained in this Section 7.12 shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations hereunder and under the Notes have been finally and fully paid and performed. No failure or delay on the part of the Indenture Trustee in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to this Base Indenture, together with any Indenture Supplement, shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to this Base Indenture, together with any Indenture Supplement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
Section 7.13.    Binding Effect of Certain Agreements.  
Each of the Transaction Documents (other than this Base Indenture) is in full force and effect and there are no outstanding Events of Default or Potential Events of Default.

27

Exhibit 10.16

Section 7.14.    Non Existence of Other Agreements.

If the Notes of each Series of Notes Outstanding have been declared to be due and payable under Section 9.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the 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 Collateral for such purpose.  Nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be construed to require the Indenture Trustee to preserve the Collateral securing the Issuer Obligations, including without limitation, if prohibited by applicable law or if the Indenture Trustee is authorized, directed or permitted to liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 9.4(b).
Section 9.6.    Limitation on Suits.  
No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:
(a)    such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(b)    Holders of each Series of Notes Outstanding holding Notes evidencing at least 25% of the Notes of such Series have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture Trustee hereunder;

41

Exhibit 10.16

(c)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(d)    the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceedings; and
(e)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Requisite Noteholders;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of the Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
Section 9.7.    Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.  
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in the Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 9.8.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 9.9.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 9.10.    Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  

42

Exhibit 10.16

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article 9 or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 9.11.    Control by Noteholders.  
The Requisite 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
(a)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture;
(b)    if an Event of Default is with respect to less than all Series of Notes Outstanding, then the Indenture Trustee’s rights and remedies shall be limited to the rights and remedies pertaining only to those Series of Notes with respect to which such Event of Default has occurred and the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such rights and remedies at the direction of the Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate Invested Amounts of all Series of Notes with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred (excluding any Notes held by the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer) (or, if an Event of Default with respect to a single Series of Notes Outstanding shall have occurred, a Majority in Interest of such Series of Notes Outstanding);
(c)    subject to the express terms of Section 9.4, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount;
(d)    if the conditions set forth in Section 9.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount to sell or liquidate the Issuer Assets shall be of no force and effect;
(e)    the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; and
(f)    such direction shall be in writing;
provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

43

Exhibit 10.16

Section 9.12.    Waiver of Past Defaults.  
Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of all Series of Notes or any Series of Notes as provided in Section 9.2, the Requisite Noteholders (or, if an Event of Default with respect to less than all Series of Notes Outstanding has occurred, the Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate Invested Amounts of all Series of Notes with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred) may, on behalf of all such Holders, waive any past Potential Event of Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note, which, in each case, may only be waived by 100% of the Holders of the Notes.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes Outstanding shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, as applicable, shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.  
Section 9.13.    Undertaking for Costs.  
All parties to this Base Indenture and each Indenture Supplement 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 Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 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 10% of the Invested Amount of any Series of Notes, or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement (after giving effect to applicable grace periods).
Section 9.14.    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 Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or 

44

Exhibit 10.16

advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 9.15.    Action on Notes.  
The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.  Neither the Lien of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Issuer Assets or upon any of the other assets of the Issuer.

(a)    If an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall only be required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise in the conduct of such person’s own affairs with respect to a Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to which the Amortization Event has occurred.
(b)    Except during the continuance of (x) an Event of Default or (y) an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding, solely with respect to such Series of Notes Outstanding,
(i)    the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision of the Indenture are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they 

45

Exhibit 10.16

conform to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
(c)    Subject to Section 10.1(a), no provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts nor shall the Indenture Trustee be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the Indenture or in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 9.11; and
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Person under any of the Transaction Documents.
Section 10.2.    Rights of the Indenture Trustee.  
Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1:

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

(k)    Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage 

47

Exhibit 10.16

49

Exhibit 10.16

The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee.
Section 10.5.    Notice of Defaults.  
If a Potential Event of Default, an Event of Default, a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, in each case with respect to any Series of Notes, occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office referencing the Indenture and the applicable Series of Notes, if any, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice thereof within ten Business Days after such knowledge or notice occurs.  Except in the case of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 313(c) of the TIA in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Noteholders.
Section 10.6.    Compensation; Indemnity.

The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, a failure by the Indenture Trustee to promptly notify the Issuer of a claim for which it may seek indemnity shall not relieve the Issuer from its obligation to indemnify the Indenture Trustee.

50

Exhibit 10.16

Default specified in Section 9.1(c), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(b)    If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the 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.
(c)    A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer and thereupon the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.  The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.
(d)    If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Notes Outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
(e)    If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.7, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
(f)    Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8(c) and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.
(g)    Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 10.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.
Section 10.9.    Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.  
If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer written notice of any such transaction.

52

Exhibit 10.16

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 the Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or in the Indenture with respect to the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee.
Section 10.10.    Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the 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 Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, 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 10.7 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.8.  No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Indenture Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.
(b)    Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)    The Notes of each Series of Notes shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Indenture Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Indenture Trustee;
(ii)    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 Issuer Assets or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) 

53

Exhibit 10.16

shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustees, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
(iii)    No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iv)    The Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustees.
(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 Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article 10.  Each separate trustee and co-trustees, 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 Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement 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 and a copy thereof given to the Issuer.
(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 to this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement 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 Indenture Trustee.
(e)    In connection with the appointment of a co-trustees, the Indenture Trustee may, at any time, at the Indenture Trustee’s sole cost and expense, without notice to the Noteholders, delegate its duties under this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the terms hereof and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such co-trustee so long as such co-trustee is appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.
Section 10.11.    Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee.  
The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Noteholders that:
(i)    The Indenture Trustee is a New York banking corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York;

54

Exhibit 10.16

(ii)    The Indenture Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement issued concurrently with this Base Indenture and to authenticate the Notes, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement issued concurrently with this Base Indenture and to authenticate the Notes;
(iii)    This Base Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee; and
(iv)    The Indenture Trustee meets the requirements of eligibility as an Indenture Trustee hereunder set forth in Section 10.7.

If the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b) and an Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
ARTICLE 11.     
 
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 11.1.    Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.  
(a)    The Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that (i) the Issuer’s obligations under Sections 2.4, 2.14 and 10.6, (ii) the Indenture Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 11.3 and the Indenture Trustee’s and the Noteholders’ obligations under Section 13.16 shall survive) when all Outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated and issued have been delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes which have been replaced or paid) to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid all sums payable hereunder.
(b)    In addition, except as may be provided to the contrary in any Indenture Supplement, the Issuer may terminate all of its obligations under the Indenture if:
(i)    The Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Indenture Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Indenture Trustee, to pay, when due, principal and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of said principal and interest with respect to the Notes;

55

Exhibit 10.16

(ii)    The Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect; and
(iii)    the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding.
Then, the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as provided in this Section 11.1), and the Indenture Trustee, on demand of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging confirmation of and discharge under the Indenture.
(c)    After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to Section 11.1(b) and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.
In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal or interest on the Notes, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest at least one Business Day before such payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money.  U.S. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer’s option.
Section 11.2.    Application of Trust Money.  
The Indenture Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.1.  The Indenture Trustee shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent in accordance with the Indenture to the payment of principal and interest on the Notes.
The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Indenture.
Section 11.3.    Repayment to the Issuer.  
The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon written request any excess money or, pursuant to Section 2.4, return any Notes held by them at any time.
The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Indenture.
ARTICLE 12.     
 
AMENDMENTS
Section 12.1.    Without Consent of the Noteholders.

56

Exhibit 10.16

Without the consent of any Noteholder, but subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may amend, modify, or waive the provisions of this Base Indenture or, unless otherwise specified therein, any Indenture Supplement:
(a)    to create a new Series of Notes;
(b)    to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of any Noteholders (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series) or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer (provided, however, that the Issuer will not pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) surrender any right or power it has under the Transaction Documents);
(c)    to mortgage, pledge, convey, assign and transfer to the Indenture Trustee any additional property or assets, or increase the amount of such property or assets that are required as security for the Notes and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such additional property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Indenture Trustee and to set forth such other provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the Indenture or as may, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture, be deemed appropriate by the Issuer, or to correct or amplify the description of any such property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed and transferred to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders;
(d)    to cure any mistake, ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any Indenture Supplement or in any Notes issued hereunder;
(e)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more Series of Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee; 
(f)    to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any Indenture Supplement which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Base Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement; or
(g)    if the Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA;
provided, however, that, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder. 

57

Exhibit 10.16

Section 12.2.    With Consent of the Noteholders.
(a)    Except as provided in Section 12.1, the provisions of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement (except as otherwise set forth in such Indenture Supplement) may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if (i) such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and is consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and, unless otherwise specified in an Indenture Supplement for a Series of Notes, the Requisite Noteholders and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, modification, or waiver; provided, that, if any such amendment, modification or waiver does not materially adversely affect the Noteholders of one or more, but not all, Series of Notes (as substantiated by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to such effect), any such Series of Notes that is not materially adversely affected by such amendment, modification or waiver shall be deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of obtaining such consent (and the related calculation of Requisite Noteholders shall be modified accordingly).
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject, in each case, to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding):
(i)    any modification of this Section 12.2, any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in principal amount of the Notes or any change in the definition of the terms “Pool Outstanding Principal Balance”, “Outstanding Principal Balance” and “Outstanding” shall require the consent of the Required Noteholders; 
(ii)    any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement that would (A) extend the due date for, or reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note, or the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Note) shall require the consent of each Holder of the Note affected thereby; (B) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of any Noteholder individually in comparison to any other Noteholder shall require the consent of such Noteholder; or (C) amend or otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall require the consent of each Noteholder to which such Amortization Event applies; and
(iii)    any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) approve the assignment or transfer by the Issuer of any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof; or (B) release any obligor under any Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or of such Transaction Document, shall require in each case the consent of the Required Noteholders; provided, however, if any such amendment, waiver, or other modification relating to a Transaction Document relates solely to a single Series of Notes (as substantiated by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to such effect), then all other Series of Notes shall be deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of obtaining the foregoing consent (and the related calculation of Required Noteholders shall be modified accordingly); 

58

Exhibit 10.16

provided, further that with respect to any such amendment, waiver or other modification relating to a Transaction Document or portion thereof that does not adversely affect in any material respect a Series of Notes (as substantiated by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to such effect), then such Series of Notes shall be deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of obtaining the foregoing consent (and the related calculation of Required Noteholders shall be modified accordingly).

(c)    No failure or delay on the part of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
(d)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.
Section 12.3.    Supplements.  
Each amendment or other modification to the Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a Supplement.  In addition to the manner provided in Sections 12.1 and 12.2(b), each Indenture Supplement may be amended as provided in such Indenture Supplement. 
Section 12.4.    Revocation and Effect of Consents.  
Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder.  The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.
Section 12.5.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  
The Indenture Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.
Section 12.6.    The Indenture Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  

59

Exhibit 10.16

The Indenture Trustee shall sign any Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Indenture Trustee.  If it does, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, sign it.  In signing any Supplement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms.
Section 12.7.    Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.  
If the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment of the Indenture and every Supplement executed pursuant to this Article 12 shall comply in all respects with the TIA.
ARTICLE 13.     
 
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.1.    Compliance Certificates.  
(a)    Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of the Indenture, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in the Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) if the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and the TIA so requires, an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants or other experts meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 13.1, 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 the 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 the 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;
(ii)    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 such covenant or condition has been complied with;

60

Exhibit 10.16

(iv)    if the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and the TIA so requires, prior to the deposit of any 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 the Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 13.1(a) or elsewhere in the Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the property or securities to be so deposited;
(v)    whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iv), the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (iv) and this clause (v), is 10% or more of the Aggregate Invested Amount, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Aggregate Invested Amount;
(vi)    if the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and the TIA so requires, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the Lien of the Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days 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 the Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof;
(vii)    whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (vi), the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, or securities released from the Lien of the Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (vi) and this clause (vii), equals 10% or more of the Aggregate Invested Amount, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Aggregate Invested Amount.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3.3 or any provision of this Section 13.1, without any action by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the Issuer Assets as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Issuer Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents.

61

Exhibit 10.16

Section 13.2.    Forms 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 my certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Seller, the Servicer or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Seller, the Servicer or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under the Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in the Indenture, in connection with any application, certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document (x) as a condition of the granting of such application, or (y) as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in each 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 10 and shall incur no liability for its acting in reliance thereon.
Section 13.3.    Actions of Noteholders.  
(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by the Indenture to be given or taken by the Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent 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, when required, to the Issuer.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of 

62

Exhibit 10.16

the Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 13.3.

(b)    The fact and date of the execution by any Noteholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act by a Noteholder shall bind every Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done, by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, regardless of whether notation of such action is made upon such Note.
(d)    The Indenture Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 13.3 as it shall deem necessary.
(e)    The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
Section 13.4.    Notices.  
(a)    Any notice or communication by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to the other shall be in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first class mail (registered or  certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, electronic mail, or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the other’s address:

The Issuer or the Indenture Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications; provided, however, the Issuer may not at any time designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be effective.
Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telex, telecopier, or electronic mail shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier.

If the Issuer mails a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall mail a copy to the Indenture Trustee at the same time.
In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee agree to accept and act upon notice, instructions or directions pursuant to the Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods.  If the party elects to give the Indenture Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Indenture Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Indenture Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Indenture Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.  The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Indenture Trustee,

including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
