               ARCADIA RESOURCES, INC. 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

                         FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the effective
date specified in the attached Notice of Restricted Stock Award (the "Effective
Date") by and between ARCADIA RESOURCES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and the undersigned employee of the Company or one or more of the
Company's subsidiaries or other person eligible to participate in the Company's
2006 Equity Incentive Plan ("Grantee"). The Company and Grantee are sometimes
referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

                                    RECITALS

     A. The Company desires that Grantee exert his or her utmost efforts to
improve the business and increase the assets of the Company.

     B. As a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of salary, other
compensation or benefits payable for the services of Grantee, the Company
desires to grant Grantee the right and option, but not the obligation, to
purchase shares of the Company's fully-paid and non-assessable common stock (the
"Common Stock"). Shares of the Common Stock are individually referred to as a
"Share" and collectively as the "Shares."

     C. Any Option granted under this Agreement is granted in accordance with
the Company's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the terms and
provisions of the Plan shall govern the grant of said Option hereunder, unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement as permitted by the Plan.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below,
and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which are
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

     1. GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to and contingent on satisfaction of all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants
to Grantee the right and option to purchase from the Company, during the Term of
the Option and at the Exercise Price, up to the aggregate number of Shares of
the Common Stock specified in the Notice of Award (the "Option"), attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference, contingent on and subject to
vesting and forfeiture as specified herein and the terms in the Notice of Award.
Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to commence or
continue employment with the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, nor
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary to
terminate Grantee's employment in accordance with Grantee's terms of employment
which are on an AT WILL basis unless specified otherwise in a written employment
agreement.

<PAGE>

     2. NATURE OF OPTION. If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock
Option, the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the
aggregate fair market value of Shares subject to an Option designated as an
Incentive Stock Option which becomes exercisable for the first time by Grantee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares
covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. For this purpose, an Incentive Stock Option shall be
taken into account in the order in which it was granted, and the fair market
value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect
to such Shares is awarded. Grantee has been advised to seek independent legal
and tax counsel with respect to the taxation consequences to Grantee of the
grant and exercise of the Option.

     3. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of each Share subject to the Option
shall be the price per Share specified in the Notice of Award (the "Exercise
Price"). Payment shall be made in cash or by any other method specified in or
permitted by the Plan or in the Notice of Award.

     4. VESTING. The Option shall vest as described in the Notice of Award.
Grantee shall have the right to exercise any vested Option. Subject to the terms
of the Plan, upon any termination of employment, whether by the Company or
Grantee, whether for cause or without cause, all unvested Options shall be
automatically forfeited and shall be null and void, except to the extent, if
any, provided otherwise in the Notice of Award.

     5. TERM OF OPTION. Grantee may first exercise the Option on the first day
after the Vesting Date as set forth in the Notice of Award and shall end at 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the Expiration Date specified in the Notice of
Award (the "Term"). Upon the expiration of the Term, the Option, to the extent
not exercised before then, shall automatically terminate and become null and
void, and Grantee shall then have no right to exercise the Option.

     6. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option, subject to vesting requirements, may be
exercised using the Notice of Exercise, attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by reference, within the Term, at any time or from time to
time, provided that each exercise of the Option shall be conditioned and
contingent on the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and exercised in accordance with the Plan. In addition, the Option may
not be exercised in quantities of less than ten thousand (10,000) Shares at any
one time or all of the remaining Shares then exercisable under the Option, if
less than ten thousand (10,000) Shares. The Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute
a violation of any applicable laws.

     7. TAX WITHHOLDINGS. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, Grantee shall
be responsible for all tax obligations arising from the grant and vesting of the
Option and Grantee also agrees to the withholding of taxes as the Company deems
necessary as required by law or regulation. Prior to any event in connection
with the Option (e.g., vesting or exercise) that the Company determines may
result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state,
local or non-U.S., including any employment tax obligation (the "Tax Withholding
Obligation"), Grantee must arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of
such Tax

                                   Page 2 of 9

<PAGE>

Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company. The Company does
not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax
withholding in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option or
the subsequent sale of Shares subject to the Option. The Company does not commit
and is under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate
Grantee's tax liability.

     8. NONTRANSFERABILITY. This Agreement and the Option, if an Incentive Stock
Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Grantee only by the Grantee; provided, however, that the Grantee may designate a
beneficiary of the Grantee's Incentive Stock Option in the event of the
Grantee's death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Company. This
Agreement and the Option, if a Non-Qualified Stock Option, shall not be
transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or disposed of in any manner or by
operation of law, except as permitted in the case of death, by will or the laws
of descent and distribution or during Grantee's lifetime to Grantee's "family
member" (as defined in Form S-8) through gift or domestic relations order as
permitted by Form S-8 (as currently in effect or as it may be amended) and the
Plan. In no event shall this Agreement and the Options be subject to execution,
attachment, or similar process. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, and permitted successors and transferees
of the Grantee. No such transfer which is permitted hereunder shall be effective
unless written notice of the same shall have been given before such transfer to
the Company and the Company shall have given its written acknowledgment of the
permissibility of the transfer.

     9. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of changes in the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
liquidation, separation, combination or exchange of stock, change in the
Company's business structure or sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Company's business or assets or other event defined in the Plan (referred to as
a "Capital Adjustment"), the number of Shares subject to this Agreement shall be
adjusted by the Company consistent with such Capital Adjustment as provided in
the Plan.

     10. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Grantee agrees that each exercise and all
transfers or other dispositions of any interest in the Option permitted
hereunder shall be made in compliance with applicable laws and the Company's
policies on insider trading in effect from time to time.

     11. PLAN. Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents
that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby
accepts the Award subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and the Plan. Grantee has reviewed this Agreement, the Notice and the Plan in
their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to
executing this Agreement or the Notice and fully understands all provisions of
this Agreement, the Notice and the Plan. Grantee hereby agrees that all
questions of interpretation and administration relating to this Agreement, the
Notice and the Plan shall be resolved by the Committee in accordance with
Section 6 of the Plan.

     12. ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES. The Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any certificate for Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Option, except if required by

                                   Page 3 of 9

<PAGE>

applicable state law. Grantee agrees to the imprinting, so long as the Company
determines is required, of a legend on any stock certificate evidencing Shares
to effectuate compliance with the terms of the Plan, this Agreement, the Notice
of Award and applicable law.

     13. NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder
relative to any Shares as to which the Option shall not have been exercised and
payment made as herein provided.

     14. GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION. This Agreement and all disputes arising
out of or related to the Option and the Shares shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, notwithstanding
the fact that either Party is now or may hereafter become domiciled or located
in a different state. Any such dispute, controversy or claim shall be resolved
at arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, except for any equitable or injunctive relief sought under this
Agreement. The arbitration shall be held at a location within Collier County,
Florida. The parties hereto agree that any arbitration award rendered on any
claim submitted to arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and
not subject to appeal and that judgment may be entered upon any arbitration
award by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that the
expenses of any arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the
proceeding, provided that each party shall bear its own attorneys fees and costs
of its own experts, evidence and the like. Notice of the demand for arbitration
shall be given in writing to the other party to this Agreement no later than
within six (6) months from the date the party asserting the claim should
reasonably have been aware of the same but in no event later than the period
specified by the applicable statute of limitations. The failure to give such
notice shall operate to then bar any action, liability and damages arising from
or related to such alleged dispute or claim, with the same force and effect as
if the applicable statute of limitations had expired. Grantee acknowledges and
agrees that by making this agreement to submit all claims to binding
arbitration, Grantee hereby waives the right to litigate in a court of law, and
to trial by jury if applicable.

     15. BINDING EFFECT AND WAIVER OF BREACH. Except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The waiver
of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Each and every right, remedy and power
hereby granted to any Party or allowed it by law shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other.

     16. SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any Party under any circumstances is adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision of this Agreement or the application thereof.

     17. INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT. Where appropriate in this Agreement, words
used in the singular shall include the plural, and words used in the masculine
shall include the feminine and neuter. All headings that are used in this
Agreement are for the convenience of the reader only and shall not be used to
limit or construe any of the provisions hereof.

                                   Page 4 of 9

     18. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The representations, warranties, covenants,
obligations and undertakings of Grantee under this Agreement are continuing and
shall survive the exercise of any or all Shares subject to the Option, as well
as termination of the Term of the Option.

     19. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may
be altered or amended in any of their provisions only by the mutual written
agreement of the Parties hereto.

     20. SUCCESSORS. The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and
its successors in interest and assigns, but may not be assigned or delegated by
Grantee.

     21. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Grantee is entering into this contract freely and
voluntarily and has been advised to seek the advice of her legal counsel prior
to entering into this Agreement.

     22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Plan and the Notice (attached
hereto) (collectively, the "Award Documents") constitute the entire agreement
between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any
and all other previous or contemporaneous communications, representations,
understandings, agreements, negotiations and discussions, either oral or
written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
including Grantee's employment agreement with the Company to the extent, if any,
that it purports to contradict or vary the terms of the Award Documents. The
Parties acknowledge and agree that there are no written or oral agreements,
understandings, or representations, directly or indirectly related to the Award
Documents that are not set forth therein.

     23. COUNTERPART/FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of
which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, a facsimile or PDF signature shall be valid and enforceable as an
original.

     24. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The Recitals set forth above are
incorporated herein by reference.

     25. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon
deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier
service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the
parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed
to Grantee at its address as shown in these instruments, the Company at its

COVENANTS

     Section 3.01. Collection of Payments on Loans; Trust Accounts.

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

     Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Issuer will maintain with the Indenture Trustee an office or agency where, subject to
satisfaction of conditions set forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as
its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the

10

 

Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the
Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

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

     The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Paying Agent for the payment of principal
and interest on the Notes. As provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and
payable with respect to any Notes or Hedge Agreements that are to be made from amounts withdrawn
from the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05 shall be made on behalf of the
Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes or any Hedge Agreements shall be paid over to the
Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.03. The Issuer shall have for so long as any
Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, a Paying Agent for the payment of principal and
interest on such Notes in Ireland and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of
such Notes or this Indenture may be served and where such securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer hereby appoints JP Morgan Bank
(Ireland) PLC as Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest with respect to only
those securities listed on the Irish Stock Exchange.

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

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

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

     (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes
or the Hedge Agreements in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto

11

 

until such
sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such
sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Section 3.04. Existence; Separate Legal Existence.

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

     (b) The Issuer shall:

     (i) Maintain its own deposit account or accounts, separate from those of any Affiliate,
with commercial banking institutions and in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
The funds of the Issuer will not be diverted to any other Person or for other than
authorized uses of the Issuer.

     (ii) Ensure that it is at all times in compliance with Section 4.01 of the Trust
Agreement.

     (iii) Ensure that, to the extent that it jointly contracts with any of its members or
Affiliates to do business with vendors or service providers or to share overhead expenses,
the costs incurred in so doing shall be allocated fairly among such entities, and each such
entity shall bear its fair share of such costs. To the extent that the Issuer contracts or
does business with vendors or service providers when the goods and services provided are
partially for the benefit of any other Person, the costs incurred in so doing shall be
fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose benefit the goods and services are
provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such costs. All material
transactions between Issuer and any of its Affiliates shall be only on an arm’s length
basis.

     (iv) Conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with its organizational documents and
observe all necessary, appropriate and customary statutory trust formalities, including, but
not limited to, holding all regular and special board of trustees meetings appropriate to
authorize all statutory trust action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of its meetings,
passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and
maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including, but not limited
to, payroll and intercompany transaction accounts.

     Section 3.05. Payment of Principal and Interest.

     The Issuer will duly and punctually pay (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes in
accordance with the terms of such Notes, this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
(ii) all amounts payable under the Hedge Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a
Payment Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the

13

 

benefit of the
Notes, to the applicable Noteholders, and for the benefit of the Hedge Agreements, to the
applicable Hedge Counterparties. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or any applicable state
law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered
as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

     Section 3.06. Protection of Indenture Collateral.

     (a) The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of
the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties to be prior to all
other liens in respect of the Indenture Collateral, and the Issuer shall take or shall cause the
Servicer to take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, a first lien on and a first
priority, perfected security interest in the Indenture Collateral. In connection therewith,
pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall cause to be
delivered into the possession of the Indenture Trustee as pledgee hereunder, indorsed in blank, any
“instruments” (within the meaning of the UCC), not constituting part of chattel paper, evidencing
any Loan which is part of the Indenture Collateral and all other portions of the Loan Files. The
Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that (i) it holds the Loan Assets delivered to it under
the Loan Sale Agreement for the benefit of the Trust Depositor, (ii) it holds the Loan Assets
delivered to it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Issuer, and (iii) it
holds the Indenture Collateral delivered to it pursuant to this Indenture for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain continuous
possession of such delivered instruments and the Loan Files as pledgee hereunder until this
Indenture shall have terminated in accordance with its terms or until, pursuant to the terms hereof
or of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee is otherwise authorized to release
such instrument from the Indenture Collateral. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, will from
time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such supplements and
amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of
further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

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

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

     (iii) enforce any of the Loans transferred to the Issuer as and to the extent
commercially reasonable and in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement; or

     (iv) preserve and defend title to the Indenture Collateral and the rights of the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties in such Indenture Collateral
against the claims of all persons and parties.

     Except as otherwise provided in or permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not remove any portion of the Indenture Collateral held by
it that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing from the

14

 

jurisdiction in which it was held at the date of the most recent Opinion of Counsel delivered
pursuant to Section 3.07 (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the
Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.07(a), if no Opinion
of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 3.07(b)) unless the Indenture Trustee
shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest
created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving
effect to such action or actions.

     The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute

     (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and Hedge

Noteless Loans, a copy of the applicable Loan Register certified by a Responsible Officer of the
Servicer) and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective
the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and
security interest effective.

     (b) On or before [March] 31 in each calendar year, beginning in 2007, the Servicer on behalf
of the Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee and Hedge Counterparties an Opinion of Counsel
at the expense of the Issuer either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has
been taken with respect to any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and
filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the
perfection of the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of
such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain
the perfection of such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe any
other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security
interest of this Indenture until December 31 in the following calendar year.

purchaser of such Note or interest therein who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified
Purchaser designated by such Noteholder or beneficial owner, or (iii) to the Indenture Trustee for
delivery to such Noteholder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser, in order to permit
compliance by such Noteholder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of
such Note or beneficial interest therein by such Noteholder or beneficial owner in reliance on Rule
144A unless, at the time of such request, the Issuer is subject to the reporting

15

 

requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or exempt from reporting pursuant to
Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act.

Section 3.09. Performance of Obligations; Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

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

     (d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer
shall promptly notify in writing the Indenture Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and the Rating
Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in
respect of such Servicer Default. If such Servicer Default arises from the failure of the Servicer
to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to
the Loans, the Issuer may remedy such failure. So long as any such Servicer Default shall be
continuing, the Indenture Trustee may exercise its remedies set forth in Section 8.03 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. Unless granted or permitted by the Holders of the Notes and the Hedge
Counterparties to the extent provided above, the Issuer may not waive any such Servicer Default or
terminate the rights and powers of the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (iii) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit
the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or
discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
respect to the Notes or Hedge Agreements under this Indenture except as may be expressly
permitted hereby, permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or
other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document)
to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Indenture Collateral or
any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof or permit the lien of this

Hedge Counterparties all of its rights under the Loan Sale Agreement and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Indenture Trustee has the benefit of the representations and warranties made

17

 

by the Originator and the Trust Depositor in such documents concerning the Loans transferred

execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture

the provisions of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. No party relying upon an

     (a) On each day, the Issuer shall maintain one or more Hedge Transactions, provided that each
such Hedge Transaction shall:

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

     (ii) be maintained so that (A) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions
(excluding any interest rate cap transactions) hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans and the
Blended Rate Loan Hedged Component for any current or future calculation period will be
equal to an amount calculated in accordance with Section 5.02(g) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; and

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

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

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

     (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon notice from the Issuer, establish a single, segregated
trust account which shall be designated as the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, which shall
be held in trust in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Hedge Counterparties and over which the Indenture Trustee shall have the exclusive control and the
sole right of withdrawal. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit all

26

 

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

     (e) Each Hedge Agreement will provide that if at any time the Hedge Counterparty or the Hedge
Counterparty’s credit support provider (i) does not have the long-term or short-term ratings
required to be a Qualified Hedge Counterparty then the Hedge Counterparty shall, within ten days of
such failure to maintain the required ratings, transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and
obligations under the Hedge Agreement to another Person in accordance with the terms of the Hedge
Agreement or (ii) fails to meet the rating thresholds set forth in clause (a)(i) of the definition
of “Qualified Hedge Counterparty”, then the Hedge Counterparty shall either post collateral within
30 days as provided in the Credit Support Annex to the Hedge Agreement or transfer (at its own
cost) all of its rights and obligations under the Hedge Agreement to another Person in accordance
with the terms of the Hedge Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Hedge
Counterparty fails to meet the rating thresholds set forth in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of
“Qualified Hedge Counterparty”, the Hedge Counterparty shall transfer (at its own cost) all of its
rights and obligations under the Hedge Agreements to another Person in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; provided further that each Hedge Agreement shall provide that any amendments
thereto or replacements thereof shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition
with respect to such amendment or replacement, as the case may be. Failure by the Hedge
Counterparty to comply with this Section 3.32(e) shall be a termination event under the
Hedge Agreement.

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

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

27

 

     Section 3.34. Maintenance of Listing.

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

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

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

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

29

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

30

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial
interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such Beneficial Owner may,
in addition to complying with all applicable rules and procedures of DTC and Clearstream or
Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the “Applicable
Procedures”), transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an
equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the
provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(i). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its
Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be
credited to another specified DTC Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the

31

 

denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred,
(2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing
information regarding the account of the DTC Participant (and the Euroclear or Clearstream
account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the DTC Participant to
be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit
E hereto given by the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note
Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the
denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred
and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S
Global Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to
be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions (who shall be a DTC Participant acting for or on behalf of
Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note having a denomination equal to the amount by which the denomination
of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

     (ii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note After the Distribution
Compliance Period. If, after the Distribution Compliance Period, a Beneficial Owner of
an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial
interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such holder may, in
addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such
beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note only
upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(ii). Upon receipt by
the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Note
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified DTC Participant’s account a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the denomination
of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred, (2) a written
order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding
the account of the DTC Participant (and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in
accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to
be credited with, and the account of the DTC Participant to be debited for, such beneficial
interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto given by the
Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note Registrar shall instruct DTC
to reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate denomination of the
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with
such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the
aggregate denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so
transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in
such instructions (who shall be a DTC Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or
Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Note having a denomination equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A
Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

32

 

     (iii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If the Beneficial
Owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its
beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may,
in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of
such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note
only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(iii). Upon receipt
by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Note
Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified DTC Participant’s account a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the denomination of
the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred, (2) a written
order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding
the account of the DTC Participant to be credited with, and the account of the DTC
Participant (or, if such account is held for Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or
Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited for such beneficial interest, and (3)
with respect to a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for a
beneficial interest in the related Rule 144A Global Note (i) during the Distribution
Compliance Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit G hereto given by the
Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, or (ii) after the Distribution
Compliance Period, a Rule 144A Certification from the transferee of such interest to the
effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser,
the Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global
Note by the denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be
transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Rule
144A Global Note by the aggregate denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of
the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a DTC Participant acting for or on
behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in
the Rule 144A Global Note having a denomination equal to the amount by which the
denomination of the Regulation S Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

     (iv) Transfers Within Regulation S Global Notes During Distribution Compliance
Period. If, during the Distribution Compliance Period, the Beneficial Owner of an
interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial
interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in
the form of a Regulation S Global Note, such Beneficial Owner may transfer or cause the
transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such
Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section
4.02(l)(iv) and all Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its
Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be
credited to another specified DTC Participant’s account a beneficial interest in such
Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the denomination of the beneficial interest
to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
containing information regarding the account of the DTC

33

 

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

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

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

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

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

34

 

otherwise by the Company in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Note
Registrar issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Note
Registrar shall bear the Securities Legend.

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

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

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

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

35

 

Individual Note and shall (or shall request DTC to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the
applicable Global Note (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Note and made a
part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and an
increase in the Note balance of the Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note
exchanged or transferred therefor.

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

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

     (r) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section
4.02, the holder of any Individual Note may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part
(in an initial Note balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination of $250,000 (or, in the
case of a Class E Note, in an initial Note balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination of
$1,000,000) or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Note at the
Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed
instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note Registrar in
the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, cause DTC (or
its nominee) to notify the Note Registrar in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such
beneficial interest for an Individual Note or Notes. Following a proper request for transfer or
exchange, the Note Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request made at such
Corporate Trust Office, cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and the Note Registrar to
deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in
the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of
transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder, as
applicable, may request, an Individual Note or Notes, as the case may require, for a like aggregate
Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The
presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Note shall not be valid unless made at the
Corporate Trust Office by the registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized
attorney-in-fact.

     (s) No transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. No transfer of any Note shall be made if such transfer would
require the Issuer to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act. In the event of any
such transfer, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act or
Regulation S under the Securities Act or is a transfer of the Class F Note to an Affiliate of the
Originator, (i) the Indenture Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and

36

 

the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, or the
Servicer and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a Transferee Letter
or the transferee is to execute the applicable certification in the event of a transfer pursuant to
Regulation S certifying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which Transferee Letter or certification shall not be an expense of the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer. The Holder of a Note desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and by accepting a Note and the benefits of this Indenture does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Initial Purchasers against any liability that
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the
Initial Purchasers intends or is obligated to register or qualify any Note under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws.

     (t) No Class E Note or Class F Note may be acquired or owned by any Person that is classified
for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust
unless (A) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such Person have or
ever will have more than 50% of the value of its interest in such Person attributable to the
interest of such Person in any Class E Note, Class F Note or other interest (direct or indirect) in
the Issuer, and (B) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the
investment of such Person in any Class E Note or Class F Note to permit any partnership to satisfy
the 100 partner limitation of Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii);

     (u) No Class E Note or Class F Note (or interest therein) may be acquired, and no Holder of a
Class E Note or Class F Note may sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose
of any Class E Note or Class F Note (or interest therein) or cause any Class E Note or Class F Note
(or interest therein) to be marketed, on or through (i) an “established securities market” within
the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation
system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (ii) a “secondary market (or the
substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including a
market wherein any Class E Note or Class F Note (or interest therein) is regularly quoted by any
person making a market in such interests and a market wherein any person regularly makes available
bid or offer quotes with respect to any Class E Note or Class F Note (or interest therein) and
stands ready to effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for itself or on behalf of
others.

     (v) No Holder of a Class E Note or Class F Note may transfer its interest in any Class E Note
or Class F Note in an amount less than the minimum denomination of such Class E Note or Class F
Note, as the case may be.

     (w) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the Closing
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate in the name of, and deliver to, the Trust Depositor,
the Class F Note in the form of a single Individual Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the Initial Class F Principal Balance. The Holder of the Class F Note shall initially be the Trust
Depositor. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of one or more Class F Note (a
“Transfer”) shall be made unless simultaneously with the Transfer (1) a proportionate
amount of Trust Certificates are Transferred so that the ratio of the Percentage Interest of the
Trust Certificates so Transferred to all Trust Certificates and the ratio of the

37

 

Percentage Interest of the Class F Note so Transferred to all Class F Notes are equal, (2) the
Transfers of the Trust Certificates and Class F Notes referred to herein are made to the same
Person, and (3) the Percentage Interest of the Trust Certificates and Class F Notes, respectively,
so transferred is no less than ten (10%) percent.

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

     (y) No Class A-PT Note, Class A-1A Note, Class A-1B Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class
D Note may be acquired directly or indirectly, by, for, on behalf of or with any assets of an
employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, any
plan to which Section 4975 of the Code applies (collectively, a “Plan”) or any other plan or
arrangement subject to any other applicable law similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
(“Similar Law”) unless it represents or is deemed to represent that its acquisition and
holding of the Class A-PT Note, Class A-1A Note, Class A-1B Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or
Class D Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under part 4 of
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of Similar Law. No Class E Note or
Class F Note may be acquired directly or indirectly, by, for, on behalf of or with any assets of
any Plan. Further, no Class E Note or Class F Note may be acquired directly or indirectly, by,
for, on behalf of or with any assets of any plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code unless it represents or is deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of
the Class E Note or Class F Note will not constitute or result in a violation of Similar Law. In
the case of an Individual Note, such representation shall be made in a certification from the
transferee to the Indenture Trustee; in the case of a Note other than an Individual Note, the
transferee shall be deemed to have made such representation.

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

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

38

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

39

 

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

     Section 4.05. Tax Treatment.

     (a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the
intention that, for federal, state and local income, business and franchise tax purposes, (i) the
Notes (other than the Class F Note) will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Indenture
Collateral and (ii) the Issuer shall not be treated as an association, taxable mortgage pool or
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder (other than any Class F Noteholder), by the acceptance of any such Note (and
each beneficial owner of a Note, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Note), agree to
treat such Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of
the Issuer. Each Holder of such Note (other than any Class F Noteholder) agrees that it will cause
any beneficial owner of such Note acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this
Indenture as to treatment of indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this
Section 4.05. The parties hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as
applicable, of any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 whereby the Issuer or any
portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and, except as
required by the terms of this Indenture or Applicable Law, shall not file tax returns or obtain any
federal employer identification number for the Issuer, but shall treat the Issuer as a security
device or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture
shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.

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

     Section 4.06. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes except as to (i)
rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or

40

 

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

     (A) either

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

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

     (i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

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

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

41

 

     Section 4.07. Application of Trust Money.

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

     Section 4.08. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

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

to take with respect thereto.

     Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

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

     At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty, may rescind and annul such

Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 5.12.

     No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto. No such rescission or annulment shall affect a Hedge Agreement or any Hedge
Transaction that has been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Any Hedge Agreement in
effect at the time of any declaration of acceleration of maturity shall remain in

44

 

effect until such time as such declaration of acceleration of maturity can no longer be
rescinded or annulled under the terms of this Indenture.

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

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

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

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

     (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes
or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Indenture Collateral, Proceedings
under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken
possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other
comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the
creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of
whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

45

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

46

 

and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of
the Notes.

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

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Sections 5.04(a), 5.10 and 5.11), if the Issuer fails to
perform its obligations under Section 10.01 when and as due, the Indenture Trustee shall,
at the direction of the Noteholders evidencing 66-2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance of each Class of Offered Notes (each acting as a separate Class), proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of
any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     Section 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

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

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

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

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

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

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Indenture
Collateral following an Event of Default, unless (A) (i) prior to the payment in full of each Class
of Offered Notes, the Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
all Classes of Offered Notes, and unless it shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each Hedge
Counterparty upon a termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty, consents thereto,
(ii) from and after the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, and amounts due under the
Hedge Agreements, the Class F Noteholders evidencing 100% of the

47

 

aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes consents thereto, (B) the proceeds of
such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all
amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest and all amounts payable to
each Hedge Counterparty upon termination of the Hedge Agreements, or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, in accordance with their respective terms as they would
have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee
obtains the consent of (i) prior to the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, the
Noteholders evidencing 66-2/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of
Offered Notes (each acting as a separate Class) and, unless it shall be paid in full all amounts
payable to each Hedge Counterparty upon a termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge
Counterparty, and (ii) from and after the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes and
amounts due under the Hedge Agreements, the Class F Noteholders evidencing 66-2/3% of the aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain
and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Indenture
Collateral for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Servicer Default has not
occurred, any Sale of the Indenture Collateral shall be made subject to the continued servicing of
the Loans by the Servicer as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

     Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Indenture Collateral.

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

     Section 5.06. Limitation of Suits.

     No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 11.17 hereof:

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

     (ii) (A) prior to the payment in full of the Offered Notes, the Noteholders evidencing
25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Classes of Offered Notes have made
written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such
Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and (B) from and after the
payment in full of the Offered Notes, the Class F Noteholders evidencing 25% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes have made written request to
the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in
its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

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

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

     (v) (A) prior to the payment in full of the Offered Notes, no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60 day period
by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Offered Notes and
(B) from and after payment in full of the Offered Notes, no direction inconsistent with such
written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60 day period by the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes.

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

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

49

 

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

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if
any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of repurchase, on or after the Repurchase Date) and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

     Section 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

     Section 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

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

     Section 5.11. Control by Noteholders.

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

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

     (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the
Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall be by Holders of the
Notes

50

 

representing (A) prior to the payment in full of the Offered Notes, 100% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Classes of Offered Notes, and, unless it
shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each Hedge Counterparty upon a termination of
its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty and (B) from and after the payment in full of
each Class of Offered Notes and amounts due under the Hedge Agreements, 100% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes;

     (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the
Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Indenture Collateral pursuant to such Section, then
any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall
be of no force and effect unless (A) prior to the payment in full of each Class of Offered
Notes, the Noteholders evidencing 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
each Class of Offered Notes and, unless it shall be paid in full all amounts payable to each
Hedge Counterparty upon a termination of its Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty
consent thereto and (B) from and after the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes
and amounts due under the Hedge Agreements, the Class F Noteholders evidencing 100% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes consents thereto; and

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

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

     Section 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

     Section 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in

51

 

any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee,
the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13
shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the
Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

     Section 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

     Section 5.15. Sale of Indenture Collateral.

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

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Indenture Collateral, or any
portion thereof, unless the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of each
Class of Offered Notes, and each Hedge Counterparty consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to
make such Sale and:

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

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

52

 

in Section 5.05, and the Majority Noteholders consent to such Sale, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Section 5.16. Action on Notes.

     The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this
Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under
or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture Collateral or upon any of the

53

 

assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be
applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

     Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

     (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take
all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Trust Depositor and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection
with the Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Trust Depositor or the Servicer
thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or
secure performance by the Trust Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the
Transaction Documents.

     (b) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, at the
direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly
thereafter)) of (i) prior to the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, the Noteholders
evidencing 662/3% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Offered Notes (each
acting as a separate Class) consents thereto and (ii) from and after the payment in full of each
Class of Offered Notes, the Class F Noteholders evidencing 662/3% of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Class F Notes consents thereto, shall exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Servicer under or in connection with the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure
performance or observance by the Servicer, of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give
any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall not be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

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

vested in it by this Indenture, to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability or to honor the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this

or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with the request or direction.

or matter stated in the document.

55

 

     (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s

not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any

faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     (e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with

authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by

     (f) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the performance of

it in such additional capacities.

     Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.

     The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would

agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with
Section 6.11.

     Section 6.04. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, the validity or sufficiency of any security interest intended

56

 

to be created or the characterization of the Notes for tax purposes or the Notes, it
shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s
certificate of authentication.

     Section 6.05. Notice of Event of Default.

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

     Section 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders and S&P.

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

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

     Upon the written request of S&P, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such information
as is in the Indenture Trustee’s possession or that is reasonably available to the Indenture
Trustee as S&P shall reasonably request and copies of any reports or notices that the Indenture
Trustee may receive in the course of carrying out its duties hereunder.

     Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Issuer shall or shall cause the Trust Depositor to pay to the Indenture Trustee on each
Payment Date such reasonable compensation for its services pursuant to a separate agreement between
the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Depositor. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall or shall
cause the Trust Depositor to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for
its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall
or shall cause the Trust Depositor to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The

57

 

Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Trust Depositor promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the
Trust Depositor shall not relieve the Issuer or the Trust Depositor of its obligations hereunder or
under the Trust Agreement. Neither the Issuer nor the Trust Depositor need reimburse any expense
or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the
Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

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

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

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

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

     Section 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

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

58

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Section 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

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

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

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

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

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

60

 

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

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

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

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

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

     Section 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification.

     The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) a national banking association or
banking corporation or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of any state or
the United States, (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, (iv) having unsecured and unguaranteed
long-term debt obligations rated at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, “BBB” by Fitch and “BBB-” by S&P, and
(v) is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority. If such
banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to Applicable Law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 6.11 its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be

61

 

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

applicable to the Indenture Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) violate any provision of the
corporate charter or by-laws of the Indenture Trustee or (iii) violate any provision of, or

imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Indenture Collateral pursuant to the
provisions of, any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a
party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
affect the Indenture Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its duties under this Indenture
and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated in this
Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

     (e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture and the

proceeding, whether at law or in equity. The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees

62

 

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

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

     Section 6.13. Directions to Indenture Trustee.

     The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed:

          (i) to accept a collateral assignment of the Loans and hold the assets of the Indenture

Exhibit A in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

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

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

     Section 6.14. Conflicts.

     If a Default occurs and is continuing and the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have a
“conflicting interest” (as defined in the TIA) as a result of acting as trustee for the Offered
Notes on the one hand and the Class F Notes on the other hand, the Issuer shall appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee for the Offered Notes and a successor for the Class F Notes so that there will be

other hand. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture or
under any of the other Transaction Documents.

Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Repurchase
Price or Refinancing Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture
relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of the Indenture
Collateral to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of

Code or a taxable mortgage pool within the meaning of Section 7701(i) of the Code.

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

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

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

     Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, prior to entering into any
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.02, the Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall
obtain written confirmation from Moody’s and (solely with respect to modifications referenced in
clauses (i) – (vi) above) S&P that entry by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee into such
supplemental indenture satisfies the Moody’s Rating Condition and the S&P Rating Condition,
respectively.

     Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01
and 6.02, shall be

69

 

fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise. The Indenture Trustee shall provide copies of each supplemental indenture to the Rating
Agencies.

     Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

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

     Section 9.05. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

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

ARTICLE X

OPTIONAL REPURCHASE OF NOTES

     Section 10.01. Optional Repurchase.

     At any time during the Call Period, the Issuer may repurchase the Notes in whole, but not in
part, at the direction of the Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F
Notes pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which
the Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes provides notice to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of the election to cause the Issuer to repurchase the Notes.
The Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes may exercise the
option to cause the Issuer to repurchase Notes pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement by directing the Issuer to deposit in full in the Note Distribution Account an amount
equal to the Repurchase Price by no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Repurchase
Date. If the Notes are to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Issuer shall
furnish the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies notice of such repurchase no later than ten
days prior to the proposed Repurchase Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Trustee
in the Note Distribution Account the Repurchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased and all Hedge
Transactions then outstanding under any Hedge Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all
amounts payable to the Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge

70

 

Breakage Costs, shall be paid in full on the Repurchase Date, and all such Notes shall be due
and payable on the Repurchase Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section
10.05 to each Holder of Notes. The Holders of at least 662/3% of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Class F Notes may withdraw any notice of repurchase or specify a new Repurchase Date
at any time prior to the proposed Repurchase Date set forth in any prior notice of repurchase by
providing written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies by no
later than the second Business Day preceding such Repurchase Date.

     Section 10.02. Notes Payable on Repurchase Date.

     (a) The Notes to be repurchased shall, following notice of an Optional Repurchase of the
Offered Notes as required by Section 10.05, and unless the Issuer has provided written
notice to the Indenture Trustee of its election to withdraw such notice of repurchase, on the
Repurchase Date become due and payable at the Repurchase Price and (unless the Issuer shall default
in the payment of the Repurchase Price) no interest shall accrue on the Repurchase Price for any
period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the
Repurchase Price. Following the repurchase in whole of the Offered Notes, the Class F Notes will
be repurchased in whole whether or not any amounts are available to the Issuer for distribution to
the Holders of the Class F Notes in connection with such repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, upon
deposit in full by the Issuer in the Note Distribution Account of an amount equal to the Repurchase
Price, the Indenture Collateral (other than the Trust Accounts) shall cease to constitute assets of
the Issuer and the Noteholders shall have no interest therein nor any claim to any distributions in
respect of the Indenture Collateral (other than the Trust Accounts).

     (b) The portion of the Repurchase Price payable in respect of principal of the Offered Notes
will be distributed as set forth under clause Tenth of Section 7.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and all other amounts payable will be distributed as set forth under such Section
7.05(b). On and after the Repurchase Date, all payments of principal and interest in respect of
the Loans shall be solely for the account of the Servicer.

     Section 10.03. Refinancing.

     (a) The Issuer may, at the direction of the Holders of at least 662/3% of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Class F Notes, effect a refinancing of the Offered Notes (a
“Refinancing”), in whole but not in part, on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date
occurring on September 21, 2009 (such date, a “Refinancing Date”) by payment of the
Refinancing Price to the Holders of the Offered Notes and other Persons entitled thereto (such
Refinancing Date to be specified in a notice to be delivered to the Issuer at least 10 Business
Days prior to such Refinancing Date). To effect a Refinancing, the Issuer shall deposit in the
Note Distribution Account by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable
Refinancing Date an amount equal to the Refinancing Price and shall comply with the provisions of
this Section 10.03 and Section 10.04.

     (b) Any Refinancing shall be permitted only in connection with an issuance of additional notes
(such notes, the “Replacement Notes”), the proceeds of which will be used to fully prepay
all Classes of Offered Notes. Upon receipt of a notice of Refinancing, the Servicer will cause the
Issuer to issue and the Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and
deliver Replacement Notes having the terms, priorities and conditions set forth

71

 

in a supplemental indenture to the Indenture approved by the Holders of at least 662/3% of the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes and approved by the Servicer. No Refinancing
shall be permitted hereunder unless, after giving effect thereto, the Offered Notes shall be
prepaid in full. The issue of the Replacement Notes, and the prepayment of the Offered Notes, will
be contingent on receipt by the Issuer of sufficient funds from the issuance of the Replacement
Notes to prepay in full the Offered Notes and pay certain other amounts by payment in full of the
Refinancing Price.

     (c) The portion of the Refinancing Price constituting payment of principal of the Offered
Notes shall be distributed to Noteholders in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and all other amounts included in the Refinancing Price shall be distributed in
accordance with Section 7.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     Section 10.04. Form of Refinancing Notice.

     Notice of a Refinancing will be given by the Issuer or the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies not less than ten Business Days prior to the proposed
Refinancing Date. The Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class F Notes
will have the option to withdraw any notice of Refinancing at any time prior to the scheduled
Refinancing Date by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and
the Rating Agencies. A withdrawal of such notice of Refinancing or the inability of the Issuer to
complete Refinancing of the Offered Notes will not constitute an Event of Default.

     Section 10.05. Form of Repurchase or Refinancing Notice by Indenture Trustee.

     (a) Notice of an Optional Repurchase of the Offered Notes under Section 10.01 or
Refinancing under Section 10.03 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by facsimile,
overnight courier or first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the
applicable Repurchase Date to each Holder of Notes and to each Hedge Counterparty, as of the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Repurchase Date, at such Holder’s address
appearing in the Note Register. In addition, for so long as any Offered Notes are listed on the
Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the rules of such exchange so require, notice of an Optional
Repurchase or Refinancing will also be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Ireland Paying Agent
for delivery to the Irish Stock Exchange.

     (b) All notices of repurchase shall state:

          (i) the Repurchase Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable;

          (ii) the Repurchase Price or Refinancing Price, as applicable;

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

72

 

          (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Repurchase Date or
Refinancing Date, as applicable.

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

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

73

 

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

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

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

     Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

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

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

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

     Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the
Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the
granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is
intended that the truth and accuracy in all material respects, at the time of the granting of such
application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right

74

 

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

     Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer
addressed to: CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust 2006-2, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, 1100
North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration,
with a copy to CapitalSource Finance LLC at 4445 Willard Avenue, 12th Floor, Chevy Chase,
Maryland 20815, Attention: Securitization Department; Patton Boggs LLP, 2001 Ross Avenue,
Suite 3000, Dallas,

75

 

Texas 75201, Attention: Jay Baker, or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, CapitalSource or the Trust Depositor. The
Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the
Indenture Trustee.

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

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

     Section 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

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

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

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

76

 

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

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

     Section 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.

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

     Section 11.07. Effect of Headings.

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

     Section 11.08. Successors and Assigns.

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

     Section 11.09. Severability.

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

     Section 11.10. Benefits of Indenture.

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

     Section 11.11. Legal Holidays.

     In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force

77

 

and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date.

     Section 11.12. GOVERNING LAW.

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

     (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
INDENTURE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION
11.12(b).

     Section 11.13. Counterparts.

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

     Section 11.14. Issuer Obligation.

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

78

 

     Section 11.15. No Petition, Limited Recourse.

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

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

     Section 11.16. Inspection; Confidentiality.

     The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, and in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with the Issuer’s normal operations, to examine all the books of account,
records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause
such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s
affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified
public accountants, all at such reasonable times, in such reasonable manner, and as often as may be
reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives, its legal
counsel and its auditors to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure

and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure
is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, all parties to which this Indenture relates may disclose to any and
all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such
investors relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this paragraph, the
terms “tax treatment,” “tax structure,” and “tax analyses” have the meaning given to such terms
under Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

     Section 11.17. Limitation of Liability.

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

     Section 11.18. Disclaimer and Subordination.

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

80

 

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