(b) The Issuer may contract with or otherwise obtain the assistance of other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

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

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for any costs or expenses incurred by it in connection with the enforcement of the remedies provided for in this Article V;

SECOND: any amounts payable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and any premium owing to the Insurer;

THIRD: to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee Fee then due; 34

FOURTH: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for interest pro rata among the Holders of the Class A Notes, according to the amounts due and payable on such Class A Notes;

FIFTH: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A Notes for principal, pro rata, among the Holders of the Class A Notes according to the amounts due and payable until the Class A Note Principal Balance is reduced to zero;

SIXTH: to the Insurer, any other amounts owed to the Insurer under the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement;

SEVENTH: to the Indenture Trustee for any other amounts then due and outstanding; and

EIGHTH: to the Paying Agent under the Trust Agreement, as applicable, for any amounts to be distributed to the holder of the Transferor Interest, in the manner set forth in Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to be made to the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.4. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Insurer and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Class A Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 above following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, but need not (but shall at the written direction of the Insurer), elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes (although the parties hereto understand that there exists the possibility of a shortfall in collections of the Mortgage Loans), and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

Section 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Class A 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 the Insurer has otherwise consented in writing thereto and:

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

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A 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;

(c) 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;

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

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

It is understood and intended that no Noteholders 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 Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

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

Section 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the 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 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer 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, the Insurer or any Noteholder 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, the Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or if an Insurer Default exists the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Class A Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

(b) [reserved];

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

(d) 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 the Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.1 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Class A Notes as provided in Section 5.2 above, the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) or the Holders of Class A Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, with the consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists), may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Class A Notes or(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Class A Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Class A Notes shall be restored to their former positions

and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

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

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

Section 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, as

applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and other Transaction Documents, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer, as applicable, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the rights of the Insurer hereunder and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the Insurer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount if there is an Insurer Default shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension, or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

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

(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1;

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

(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11 above or any direction from the Insurer that the Insurer is entitled to give under the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section 6.1.

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

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer, the Issuer or Transferor under this Indenture except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall challenge or cause to be challenged any attempt at substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Issuer with those of any Transferor (as defined in the Trust Agreement) in connection with any insolvency proceeding of the Issuer.

(i) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.

(j) Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and without limiting the generality of this Section 6. 1, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or

any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Issuer, Insurer or Master Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Section 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting on any resolution, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

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

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

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

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of the Insurer or any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless the Insurer or such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or

indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Insurer or the Majority Class A Noteholders; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand.

(h) The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance by the Issuer or the Master Servicer with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Collateral or the Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Collateral or the Trust Estate or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Collateral or the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee.

(k) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Registrar hereunder, the rights, protection, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Registrar.

Section 6.3 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Class A Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co registrar or co paying agent may do the

same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 below.

Section 6.4 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be (i) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Class A Notes, (ii) accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Class A Notes or (iii) responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Class A Notes or in the Class A Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has received written notice or has actual knowledge thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Master Servicer and the Seller notice of the Default within 30 days after it occurs at the expense of the Issuer. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Class A Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholders 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.

Section 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In addition, upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform its federal and state income tax reporting obligations.

Section 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, on each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee’s Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and shall be entitled to reimbursement 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 Indenture Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer, and if not by the Master Servicer, then by the Trust Estate pursuant to the seventh clause of Section 5.4 herein against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be entitled to any such reimbursement of any expense or to indemnification against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any

kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) hereof with respect to the Issuer, the expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer pursuant to this Section. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Insurer. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Indenture Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the resignation of the Indenture Trustee. The Insurer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (if given by such Noteholders) and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. The Issuer shall (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer and shall provide to the Depositor, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the resignation of the Indenture Trustee. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring

Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

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

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 below, any Noteholder may (with the consent of the Insurer) 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 6.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.7 above shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11 below. The Indenture Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor due to merger or consolidation of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section within five (5) days of the effectiveness of such merger or consolidation and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Indenture Trustee.

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 Class A 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 Class A Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Class A Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Class A 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 Class A Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

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

Section 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more 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.
