File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of
its review the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian shall so notify the Depositor
and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Indenture Trustee of a

Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account (the "Note
Payment Account") in which the Indenture Trustee shall deposit, on the same day
as received from the Servicer, amounts received from the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.06(a) of the Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall make all
payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to Section 3.03 as
provided in Section 3.05 herein from monies on deposit in the Note Payment
Account.

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. If at any time the
Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made and
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.
Section 3.03 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust; Paying Agent. As
provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect
to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Payment
Account pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Note Payment Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer
except as provided in this Section 3.03. The Issuer hereby appoints the
Indenture Trustee as its Paying Agent.
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:
5
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein
provided;
(ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer
of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to
be made with respect to the Notes;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;
(iv) immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if
at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying
Agent at the time of its appointment;
(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable
withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable
reporting requirements in connection therewith; and
(vi) not commence a bankruptcy proceeding against the Issuer in
connection with this Indenture.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Request
direct any Paying Agent to pay to the 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.
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 one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged
from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of
such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the
Issuer), and all liability of the 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 published in the English language,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction f
the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment
(including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders
whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or
whose right to or
6
interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of
record for each such Holder).
Section 3.04 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of
Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Contracts and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.
Section 3.05 Payment of Principal and Interest. On each Payment Date from
amounts on deposit in the Note Payment Account in accordance with Section 8.02
hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Persons and to the extent
provided therein, the Amount Available for such Payment Date.
Section 3.06 Protection of Trust Estate.
(a) The Issuer will from time to time prepare, 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) cause the Issuer or Servicer to enforce any of the rights to
the Contracts; or
(iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights
of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against
the claims of all persons and parties.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee
shall not remove any portion of the Trust Estate that consists of money or is
evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction
in which it was held at the date of the most recent Opinion of Counsel delivered
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held
as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 3.07(a) hereof, or if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered
pursuant to Section 3.07(b) hereof, 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).
7
The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to sign any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required to be signed pursuant to this Section 3.06 upon the
Issuer's preparation thereof and delivery to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 3.07 Opinions as to Trust Estate.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion
of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and
filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, 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 first priority security interest in the
Collateral 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 first
priority security interest effective.
(b) On or before April 15th in each calendar year, beginning in 2005, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel at the
expense of the Issuer either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such

Indenture Trustee that:
(i) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security

the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other
liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Issuer.
(ii) The Collateral constitutes "deposit accounts", "chattel
paper", "general intangibles" or "instruments," as applicable, within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.
(iii) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any
Person.
13
(iv) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral.
(b) With respect to that portion of the Collateral described in clause
(e) of the definition of "Trust Estate", the Issuer represents to the Indenture
Trustee that:
(i) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security
interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of
the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other
liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Issuer.
(ii) The Collateral constitutes "general intangibles" within the

(iii) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the

ARTICLE IV
THE NOTES; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 4.01 The Notes. Each Class of Offered Notes shall be issued in the
form of Book-Entry Notes and shall be registered in the name of a nominee
designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the
Book-Entry Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum
initial Note Balances of $25,000 and integral
14
multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class B-2 Notes shall be issued in
certificated, fully-registered form as Definitive Notes, in minimum initial Note
Balances of $1,000,000 and internal multiples of $1 in excess thereof.
The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository (through and to its nominee)
as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of the
Book-Entry Notes hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph
of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants.
Except as provided in Section 4.08 hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be
entitled to definitive notes for the Book-Entry Notes as to which they are the
Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Notes shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made
with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish
a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or
voting by Holders of Offered Notes and give notice to the Depository of such
record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, no
Offered Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor
Depository that agrees to hold such Offered Note for the account of the
Beneficial Owners.
In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as
Depository, the Indenture Trustee with the approval of the Issuer may appoint a
successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30
days of the effective date of the Depository's resignation or removal, each
Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Book-Entry
Notes it beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.
The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by
the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee,
authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and delivered by the Indenture Trustee to
or upon the order of the Issuer.
Section 4.02 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of
Notes; Appointment of Note Registrar and Certificate Registrar. The Issuer shall
cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a Note Register in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as
herein provided.
Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interests.
Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be
exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and in authorized initial Note Balances
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interests upon surrender of
the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
15
Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each
Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if
so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Note
Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company
located or having a correspondent located in the city of New York. Notes
delivered upon any such transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations,
and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Notes
surrendered.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.
The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as (i) Certificate
Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement and (ii) Note Registrar under this
Indenture. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointments.
Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 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 bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, 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, instead of issuing a
replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so
due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide 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 bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.
16
Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in replacement
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as
the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and
interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration
of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be
promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver
to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.
No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in
effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Request that they
be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuer Request is
timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee.
Section 4.06 Book-Entry Notes. The Offered Notes, upon original issuance,
will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository,
by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Offered Notes shall initially be registered
on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial
Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing
such Beneficial Owner's interest in such Book-Entry Note, except as provided in
Section 4.08. With respect to such Book-Entry Notes, unless and until
definitive, fully registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:
(i) the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this
Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder)
as the sole holder of the Book-Entry Notes, and shall have no obligation
to the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Notes;
17
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06
conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of
this Section 4.06 shall control;
(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Owners of Book-Entry Notes and the Depository
and/or the Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are
issued pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make
book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes to
such Depository Participants; and
(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Book-Entry Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balances of the Notes, the
Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage with respect to
the Book-Entry Notes only to the extent that it has received instructions
to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants
owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the
beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Notes and has delivered such
instructions to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.07 Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry
Notes pursuant to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Notes to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the
Beneficial Owners thereof.
Section 4.08 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Indenture Trustee determines
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Indenture Trustee
is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Indenture Trustee elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Notes
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Note
Balances of the Book-Entry Notes advise the Depository in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of such Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify all
Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Notes and the Indenture Trustee of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such
Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee
of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the
instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.
Section 4.09 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture,
and the Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, state and
local income, single business and

19
such opinion shall further be to the effect that such deposit will
constitute an "in-substance defeasance" within the meaning of Revenue
Ruling 85-42, 1985-1 C.B. 36, and in accordance therewith, the Issuer will
be the owner of the assets deposited in trust for federal income tax
purposes.

are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in
any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee located
at c/o DTC Transfer Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx,
Xxx Xxxx 00000, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of

Section 4.15 Representation Regarding ERISA. By acquiring a Note or
interest therein, each Holder of such Note or Beneficial Owner of any such
interest will be deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring the
Note with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and
20
transfer of such Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) the Notes are
rated investment grade or better and such person believes that the Notes are
properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for
purposes of the Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, and
agrees to so treat the Notes. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the
Notes, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with
an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of
the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the
acquisition, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is
permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
ARTICLE V
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 5.01 Events of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate, within five
days after learning of the occurrence of any event which with the giving of
notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iv),
(v) or (vi) of the definition of "Event of Default," its status and what action
the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
such Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer and such notice
references the Notes, the Trust Estate or this Indenture.
Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Holders of Notes representing
not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance 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 with
respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, Holders of the Notes representing not
less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, by written notice
to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may waive the related Event of Default
and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay (a) all payments of principal of and Interest
Payment Amounts due on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be
due hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to
such acceleration had not occurred; and (b) all sums paid or advanced by
the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
21
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its
agents and counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, at the
direction of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balances
of the Notes, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and
interest, with interest at the applicable Note Rate upon the overdue principal,
and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and 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, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may institute a
Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Notes, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such
appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by Holders of at least 66-2/3%
of the aggregate Note Balances of the Notes, to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the
Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed in
22
writing by Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balances of the
Notes, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to
file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and
for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and 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 monies 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, and
(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 Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; 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.
(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,
23
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, subject to Section 5.05 hereof.
(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.
Section 5.04 Remedies; Priorities.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if
an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant to Section 5.02
hereof, the Indenture Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof
may, and shall, at the written direction of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3%
of the aggregate Note Balances of the Notes, do one or more of the following
(subject to Section 5.05 hereof):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes
or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
otherwise enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and
any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or
partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and
take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the
Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate
following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee obtains
the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the
Holders of the Notes are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then
due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the
Indenture Trustee determines that the Contracts will not continue to
provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and Interest
Payment Amounts due on the applicable Notes as they would have become due
if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the
aggregate Note Balance of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon written advice or an opinion
(obtained at the expense of the Trust) of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of
such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for
such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a
24
Servicer Event of Default has not occurred, any sale of the Trust Estate
shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Contracts by the
Servicer as provided in the 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 in the order of priority
set forth in Section 8.01 hereof.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Payment Date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the
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 Notes and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to
take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether and how
to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may,
but need not, obtain and rely upon the written advice or an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Note
Balances of the Notes have made a written request to the Indenture Trustee
to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its
own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice of request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such
Proceedings;
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of
at least 66-2/3% of the Note Balances of the Notes; and
(vi) such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
25
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall
have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided.
Section 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee
or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such
Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.
Section 5.11 Control By Noteholders. The Holders of not less than 66-2/3%
of the aggregate Note Balances of Notes shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law
or with this Indenture;
26
(ii) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate
the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than
100% of the Note Balances of the Notes;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee has been provided with indemnity
satisfactory to it; and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction of
the Holders of Notes representing 66-2/3% of the Note Balances of the
Notes.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11
the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve
it in liability or if adequate indemnity is not assured to it.
Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof,
the Holders of Notes representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences
except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Note and each Beneficial Owner of any interest therein by
such Xxxxxx's or Beneficial Owner's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Indenture Trustee 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 10% of the Note
Balances of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.
Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever
27
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.15 Sale of Trust Estate.
(a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a "Sale") of any
portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof is expressly subject
to the provisions of Section 5.05 hereof and this Section 5.15. The power to
effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any
portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired
until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the
Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may
from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the
time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its
right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust
Estate, or any portion thereof, unless
(i) the Holders of all Notes consent to or direct the Indenture
Trustee to make such Sale, or
(ii) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire
amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes, in full
payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof, on the Payment
Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or
(iii) the Indenture Trustee determines that the conditions for
retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 hereof cannot be
satisfied (in making any determination under this Section 5.15, the
Indenture Trustee may rely upon written advice or an opinion of an
Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in
Section 5.05 hereof), and the Holders of Notes representing at least 100%
of the Note Balances of the Notes consent to such Sale.
The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust
Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof
for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).
(c) [Reserved].
(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate,
(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
28
payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon
shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the
Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial
payment;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property
offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in
connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate
in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price
against the sum of (A) the amount which would be payable to the Holders of
the Notes and Holders of Certificates on the Payment Date next succeeding
the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any
Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without
being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or

Trustee Fee, (ii) pursuant to Sections 3.05(d), 3.05(h), 5.04(b), 6.07 or
8.02(c) hereunder or (iii) out of the Amount Available.
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 have if it were not Indenture Trustee, subject to the requirements of the
Trust Indenture Act. Any Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do
the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with
Sections 6.11 and 6.12 hereof.
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 Collateral 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. Subject to Section 5.01, the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of
Default after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured. Except in

Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.
Section 6.06 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders and Tax
Administration. 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. The Indenture Trustee shall prepare and file (or cause

Form 1099 tax returns. All tax returns and information reports shall be signed
by the Owner Trustee as provided in Section 5.03 of the Trust Agreement.

compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to compensation for its services. Such expenses which shall be paid
solely from the Trust Estate in accordance with Section 8.02 shall include
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall
indemnify the Indenture Trustee solely with payments from the Trust Estate in

taxes, penalties, losses, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys' fees and
expenses) of any kind whatsoever incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this Trust and the performance of its duties under any of the
Basic Documents. 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
Issuer is not obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture
Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the termination
or resignation of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer,
the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title
11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Balances of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the
Indenture Trustee 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
hereof;
(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; or
(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
33
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,

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 30 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Note Balances of the Notes
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Indenture Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
Section 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Xxxxxx. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or

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 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall
provide the Rating Agencies with prior written notice of any such transaction.
If 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 and 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 if 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 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.

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 Trust Estate, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such
title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, 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 trustee under Section 6.11 hereof.

by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(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 Trust Estate 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

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

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.

been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, by check to such Noteholder mailed to
such Holder's address as it appears in the Note Register in the amount required

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not pay to such Holders any

(f) The Note Balance of each Note shall be due and payable in full on the
Final Stated Maturity Date for such Note as provided in the forms of Notes set

Percentage Interests represented by such Notes. 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 Final Stated Maturity Date or other final Payment
Date (including any final Payment Date resulting from any redemption pursuant to
Section 8.07 hereof). Such notice shall to the extent practicable be mailed no
later than five Business Days prior to such Final Stated Maturity Date or other
final Payment Date and shall specify that payment of the principal amount and

other final Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of

Noteholders, the Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Owner Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee of all amounts required to be paid
pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.07 hereof; provided, however, that in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the survivor
43
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Section 8.05 Release of Trust Estate.
(a) Subject to the payment of its fees, expenses and indemnities, the
Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture
shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture,
or convey the Indenture Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under
circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture,
including for the purposes of any repossession by the Servicer of a Contract
pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Servicing Agreement. No party relying upon an
instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Article VIII
hereunder shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire
into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent, or see to the application of
any monies.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as (i) there are no Notes
Outstanding and (ii) all sums due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that
secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture.
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this
Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.05 only upon receipt of a request from the
Issuer accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that all applicable requirements have been satisfied, except releases to the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Servicing Agreement.
Section 8.06 Surrender of Notes Upon Final Payment. By acceptance of any
Note, the Holder thereof agrees to surrender such Note to the Indenture Trustee
promptly, prior to such Noteholder's receipt of the final payment thereon.
Section 8.07 Optional Redemption of the Notes; Auction.
(a) The Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.17 of the Servicing Agreement,
shall have the option to purchase all outstanding Contracts, effecting a
redemption of the Notes, in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date on or
after the Payment Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less than or equal
to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance. The aggregate redemption price for the
Notes will be equal to the Redemption Price as defined under Section 3.17 of the
Servicing Agreement.
(b) Following receipt of notice pursuant to Section 3.17(b) of the
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to the
Noteholders of the final payment on the Notes. After receipt of the Redemption
Price from the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17 of the Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee shall deposit the Redemption Price into the Note Payment
Account and shall, on the Payment Date after receipt of the funds, apply such
funds to make final payments of principal and interest on the Notes in
accordance with Section 8.02(a) hereof and payment in full to the Indenture
Trustee, and this Indenture shall be discharged subject to the provisions of
Section 4.10 hereof. If for any reason the amount deposited by the Servicer is
not sufficient to make such redemption or such redemption cannot be completed
for any reason, the amount so deposited by the Servicer with the Indenture
Trustee shall be
44
immediately returned to the Servicer in full and shall not be used for any other
purpose or be deemed to be part of the Trust Estate.
(c) If the Servicer does not exercise its option to redeem the Notes as
described in clause (a) above, then on the next Payment Date the Indenture
Trustee, or an agent on its behalf, shall begin an auction process to sell the
Contracts and the other assets of the Trust Estate at the highest possible
price, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the assets
of the Trust Estate and liquidate the Trust Estate unless the proceeds of that
sale are expected to be sufficient to pay the aggregate unpaid principal balance
of the Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest. In conducting such auction,
the Indenture Trustee shall solicit good faith bids for the contracts and the
other assets of the Trust Estate from no more than three (3) parties or, if
three (3) bidders cannot be located, then from as many bidders as the Indenture
Trustee can locate; provided that, at the Indenture Trustee's request, the
Issuer shall supply the Indenture Trustee with the names of parties from whom to
solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall not
be responsible if less than three (3) or no bidders submit bids for the
contracts and the other trust assets. The Seller or an affiliate may participate
in the auction. The Indenture Trustee may hire an agent, at the expense of the
Trust, to perform the auction. If the auction of the Trust Estate is not
successful because the highest bid received is too low, then on each subsequent
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall pay, as an additional payment of
principal, the Amount Available remaining after all payments pursuant to
Sections 8.02 (a) (i) through (x) have been made for such Payment Dates first,
to each Class of Class A Notes outstanding, pro rata based on the Note Balance
of such Notes after giving effect to payments of the Class A Principal Payment
Amount on that Payment Date, until the Note Balances thereof have been reduced
to zero; second, to the Class M-1 Notes, until the Note Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; third, to the Class M-2 Notes, until the Note Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-1 Notes, until the Note Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class B-2 Notes, until the Note
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and sixth, to the Certificate Paying
Agent for payment to the Holders of the Trust Certificates. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee shall continue to conduct an auction of the Contracts every
third month after that, until an acceptable bid is received for the Trust
Estate. The Servicer's purchase option shall expire upon the Indenture Trustee's
acceptance of a qualifying bid.
45
Section 8.08 Allocation of Realized Losses.
If as a result of Realized Losses, the Amount Available on any Payment
Date is insufficient to pay the full Required Principal Payment Amount for such
Payment Date to the Noteholders, the Overcollateralization Amount will be
reduced by the amount of that deficiency. If on any Payment Date the
Overcollateralization Amount is zero, further losses and delinquencies,
including reductions in the principal balances of defaulted Contracts as a loss
mitigation effort by the Servicer, will cause the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Notes to be greater than the Pool Principal Balance.
Such excess (the "Liquidation Loss Amount") shall be applied by the Indenture
Trustee (i) first, as a reduction of the Adjusted Note Balance with respect to
the Class B-2 Notes and then (ii) as a reduction of the Adjusted Note Balance
with respect to the Class B-1 Notes, if the Note Balance of the Class B-2 Notes
is less than the Liquidation Loss Amount, and then (iii) as a reduction of the
Adjusted Note Balance with respect to the Class M-2 Notes, if the combined Note
Balance of the Class B-2 Notes and the Class B-1 Notes is less than such
Liquidation Loss Amount, and then (iv) as a reduction of the Adjusted Note
Balance with respect to the Class M-1 Notes, if the combined Note Balance of the
Class B-2 Notes, the Class B-1 Notes and the Class M-2 Notes is less than such
Liquidation Loss Amount.

questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture;
provided, that such action (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of

confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result
in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of Notes) shall
not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Notes;
(vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment
hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to

Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification
of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute
hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as

provided, however, that no such indenture supplements shall be entered into
unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel as to the
enforceability of any such indenture supplement and to the effect that (i) such
indenture supplement is permitted hereunder and (ii) entering into such
indenture supplement will not result in a "substantial modification" of the
Notes under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 or adversely affect the status
of the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes.
The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any
such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained.
(b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, (i) is permitted by this Indenture, and shall not (ii) adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder (which may be evidenced
by confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in
the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of Notes) or (iii) if
100% of the Certificates are not owned by Origen REIT or a direct or indirect
qualified REIT subsidiary of Origen REIT, cause the Issuer to be subject to an
entity level tax for federal income tax purposes.
47
Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request, also
may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and, with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the Note Balance of each Class of Notes
affected thereby, by Act (as defined in Section 10.03 hereof) of such Holders
delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:
(i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or
interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the
interest rate thereon, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to
the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the
Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or
change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any
Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute

application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the
payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due
dates thereof;
(ii) reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of the Notes, the

waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;
(iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
definition of the term "Outstanding" or modify or alter the exception in
the definition of the term "Holder";
(iv) reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of the Notes
required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or

percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional
provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby;
(vi) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner
as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or
principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation
of any of the individual components of such calculation); or

parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the
Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein,
terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at
48
any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security
provided by the lien of this Indenture;
and provided, further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause the Issuer (if 100% of the Certificates are not owned by Origen
REIT or a direct or indirect qualified REIT subsidiary of Origen REIT) to be
subject to an entity level tax.
Any such action shall not (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee or (ii) confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any Class of Notes) adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Holder (other than a Holder who shall consent to
such supplemental indenture).
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section
9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but
it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the 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.
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 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of the supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted under the Indenture and all conditions
precedent under the Indenture to the execution of such supplemental indenture

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 Holders of the Notes shall thereafter
be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this
Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX

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

Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current calendar
year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and
this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Note Principal Balances of the
Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any
release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth
in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one
percent of the then Note Principal Balances of the Notes.
Section 10.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one
51
such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but
one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and
one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Seller or the
Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in
the possession of the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section 10.03 Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed
in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
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 hereof) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in
this Section 10.03 hereof.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.
52
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Registrar.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note
issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.
Section 10.04 Notices etc., to Indenture Trustee Issuer and Rating
Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or
furnished to or filed with:
(i) the Indenture Trustee 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 at the Corporate Trust
Office. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly transmit any notice received
by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer; 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: Origen
Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2004-B, in care of Wilmington Trust
Company, Xxxxxx Square North, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by
the Issuer. 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, mailed first-class
postage pre-paid or electronically delivered, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at
the following address: Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., Residential Mortgage
Monitoring Department, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 and (ii) in
the case of S&P, to Standard & Poor's via electronic delivery at
Xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx (or if electronic delivery is not available at: 00
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attn: ABS Surveillance
Group), or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be
designated by written notice to the other parties.
Section 10.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of
whether such notice is in fact actually received.
53
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result
of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure
to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.
Section 10.06 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to
be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required
provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 10.07 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 10.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.
Section 10.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
Section 10.10 Third Party Beneficiary. The Owner Trustee shall be an
express third-party beneficiary of this Indenture and shall be entitled to
enforce the provisions hereof to the same extent as if the Owner Trustee was a
party hereto.
Section 10.11 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.
54
Section 10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (EXCEPT SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 10.14 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
at its expense (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such
recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other
Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted
to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
Section 10.15 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee 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 shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.
Section 10.16 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time prior to one year from the date of termination
hereof, institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any
institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any
of the Basic Documents, except for filing proofs of claim.
Section 10.17 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, at its expense, on
reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture
Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified
public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts
with the
55
Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The
Indenture Trustee shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all
reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to
the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.18 No Recourse to Owner Trustee. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered
by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally, but solely as Owner
Trustee of Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2004-B, in the exercise of
the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the
representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and
agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose
for binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as
creating any liability of Wilmington Trust Company, individually or personally,
to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such
liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any
Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no
circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the
payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made
or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or any other related documents.
Section 10.19 Proofs of Claim. The Indenture Trustee is authorized to file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Indenture
Trustee, as administrative expenses associated with any such proceeding, and, in
the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Noteholder to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount
due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to

of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee
under Section 6.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties that the Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Noteholder of the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or
to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2004-B (the "Issuer"), a
Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede &
Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($ __________) in monthly
installments on the fifteenth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in October 2004 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Origen Manufactured
Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes, Series 2004-B (the "Notes"), issued
under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2004 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which
the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note
which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
[A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4] Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between
interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.
A-1-2
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid,
will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the
Servicer on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Pool
Principal Balance is less than or equal to 20% of the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Contracts as of Cut-off Date.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitute security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Notes, and each Holder
hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as
provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Originator,
the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of
the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the
Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the
Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer to an account in the United
States designated by such Xxxxxx, except for the final installment of principal
and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as
provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by check mailed to such person's address as it appears
in the Note Register on such Record Date. All reductions in the Note Balance of
a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or
A-1-3
otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest
on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring this Note with Plan
Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note will not
give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better
and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness
without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and
agrees to so treat this Note. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this
Note, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with
an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of
the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the
acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall
bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
A-1-4
Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This
Note will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2004-B (the "Issuer"), a
Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede &
Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($ ________________) in monthly
installments on the fifteenth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in October 2004 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Origen Manufactured
Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes, Series 2004-B (the "Notes"), issued
under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 2004 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which
the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note
which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class B
Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal
as provided in the Indenture.
A-2-2
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid,
will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the
Servicer on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Pool
Principal Balance of the Contracts as of the end of the prior Due Period is less
than or equal to 20% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Contracts as of
Cut-off Date.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitute security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Notes, and each Holder
hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as
provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Originator,
the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of
the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the
Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the
Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer to an account in the United
States designated by such Xxxxxx, except for the final installment of principal
and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as
provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by check mailed to such person's address as it appears
in the Note Register on such Record Date. All reductions in the Note Balance of
a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or
A-2-3
otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest
on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring this Note with Plan
Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note will not
give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better
and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness
without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and
agrees to so treat this Note. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this
Note, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with
an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of
the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the
acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall
bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in
the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
A-2-4
Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as

the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid,
will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the

Cut-off Date.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitute security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Notes, and each Holder
hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as
provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Originator,
the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of
the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the
Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the
Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer to an account in the United

principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by check mailed to such person's address as it appears
in the Note Register on such Record Date. All reductions in the Note Balance of
a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made

note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or

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

Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better
and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness
without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and
agrees to so treat this Note. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this

an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of
the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the
acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of

written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated

assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making

purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue,

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