In the case of a Class A Note that is a Book-Entry Note, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Note Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such Note that is also a Book-Entry Note (or the acceptance by a Note Holder of the beneficial interest in such Note).

(b)

Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in providing such information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

Section 2.04.

Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. The Issuer shall cause the Note Registrar to keep a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and the restrictions on transfers of the Notes set forth herein, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

Subject to Section 2.03, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.05 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.

The preceding provisions of this Section 2.04 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Note.

Section 2.05.

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, the Indenture Trustee and, if such replacement Note was a Class A Note, the Insurer 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, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.05, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 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 2.05 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.

(v)

whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Balance of the Notes (or the Controlling Class Notes), the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.11.

Notices to Clearing Agency.

Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. 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.

If a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, may, and, at the written direction of the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class Notes) shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Master Servicer under or in connection with the Operative Agreements, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer under the Operative Agreements and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Operative Agreements, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

Section 5.12.

Subrogation. The Indenture Trustee shall receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of Class A Notes any Insured Amounts or Preference Amounts from the Insurer pursuant to the Policy. Any and all Insured Amounts and Preference Amounts disbursed by the Indenture Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not be considered payment by the Issuer, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Class A Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipient of such payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Class A Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Class A Notes which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer.

Section 5.13.

Preference Claims.

(a)

In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any payment of principal and interest on a Class A Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Class A Notes by mail that, in the event that any Noteholder’s payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer at its written request, the requested records it holds in its possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on Class A Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from Noteholders and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the related Noteholder to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Noteholders and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless such Noteholder has returned principal or interest paid on the Class A Notes to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer shall make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for payment to such Noteholder in accordance with the terms of the Policy).

(b)

The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Class A Notes. Each Holder of Class A Notes, by its purchase of Class A Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.12, the Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Holder of Class A Notes and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each Holder of Class A Notes in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim. All actions taken under this Section 5.13(b) by the Indenture Trustee shall be taken in accordance with the terms of the Policy.

Section 5.14.

Noteholder Rights. Each Holder of Class A Notes by the acceptance of its Class A Note agrees that, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer shall be treated by the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as if the Insurer were the Holder of the Class A Notes for the purpose of the giving of any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise given to the Holder of Class A Notes hereunder without any further consent of the Holder of Class A Notes. So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holders of Class A Notes may only exercise such rights with the consent of the Insurer.

Section 5.15.

Insurer’s Rights Regarding Actions, Proceedings or Investigations. Until all Class A Notes have been paid in full, all amounts owed to the Insurer have been paid in full, the Insurance Agreement has terminated and the Policy has been returned to the Insurer for cancellation, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)

Unless an Insurer Default resulting from the failure of the Insurer to make payments under the Policy has occurred or is continuing, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Operative Agreements to the contrary, the Insurer shall have the right to participate in, to direct the enforcement or defense of, and, at the Insurer’s sole option, to institute or assume the defense of, any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Operative Agreements, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicers, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof. Following notice to the Indenture Trustee and subject to the preceding sentence, the Insurer shall have exclusive right to determine, in its sole discretion, the actions necessary to preserve and protect the Issuer, the Collateral, and the Trust Estate. All costs and expenses of the Insurer in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation, including (without limitation) any judgment or settlement entered into affecting the Insurer or the Insurer’s interests, shall be included in the Reimbursement Amount.

(b)

In connection with any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Operative Agreements, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicers, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with, and to take such action as directed by, the Insurer, including (without limitation) entering into such agreements and settlements as the Insurer shall direct, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Noteholder.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Insurer prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation of which a Responsible Officer has received notice or has actual knowledge that names the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as a party or that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Operative Agreements, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicers, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Operative Agreements to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Insurer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Insurer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Operative Agreements.

(e)

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, and the Indenture Trustee agree that the Insurer shall have such rights as set forth in this Section 5.15, which are in addition to any rights of the Insurer pursuant to the other provisions of the Operative Agreements, that the rights set forth in this Section 5.15 may be exercised by the Insurer, in its sole discretion, without the need for the consent or approval of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any of the other Operative Agreements, and that nothing contained in this Section 5.15 shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Insurer to exercise any of the rights provided for herein.

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 6.01.

Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a) If a Rapid Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has record notice or has actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b)

Except during the continuance of a Rapid Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received notice or has actual knowledge:

(ii)

in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and on their face conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith, except that:

(i)

this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

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

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of (a) any failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations hereunder or in the Operative Agreements or (b) any Default or Rapid Amortization Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee assigned to and working in its corporate trust department obtains actual knowledge of such Default or Rapid Amortization Event or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such actual knowledge or notice, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Rapid Amortization Event.

(d)

Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

(g)

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not refuse or fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of nonpayment of its normal fees and expenses.

(h)

Every provision of this Indenture or any Operative Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01, Section 6.02 and to the provisions of the TIA.

The Indenture Trustee shall, upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee, permit any representative of the Insurer, during the Indenture Trustee’s normal business hours, to examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Indenture Trustee relating to the Notes, to make copies and extracts (at the expense of the party requesting such copies or extracts) therefrom and to discuss the Indenture Trustee’s affairs and actions, as such affairs and actions relate to the Indenture Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes, with the Indenture Trustee’s officers and employees responsible for carrying out the Indenture Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes.

(j)

The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and such other documents and instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate in accordance with its duties and obligations under this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Collateral that result from actions by, or claims against itself that are not related to the administration of the Collateral.

Section 6.02.

(b)

Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, any Operative Agreement and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with any Opinion of Counsel of such counsel.

(f)

In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian or Administrator hereunder or under any Operative Agreement, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall be afforded to such Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Administrator.

(g)

The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes or the Controlling Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders of Notes of the Controlling Party shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have received notice or have actual knowledge (that has not been cured or waived), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement with reasonable care and skill.

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. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

Section 6.04.

Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of any of the Operative Agreements or the Notes or the sufficiency of the Collateral; 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 or the Servicer in this Indenture, any Operative Agreement or in any other 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 Rapid Amortization Events and Events of Master Servicing Termination. If a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Master Servicer Termination occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) promptly mail to the Insurer notice of such event, and (ii) within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs, mail to each Noteholder notice of such event. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice of the Noteholders if and so long as one of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not withhold any such notice to the Insurer.

Section 6.06.

Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information with respect to the Notes as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns and shall file such information returns with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to payments or accruals of interest on the Notes as are required to be filed under the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations.

Section 6.07.

Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled, as compensation for its services, to investment earnings with respect to the Trust Accounts as provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (which amounts shall constitute the Indenture Trustee's fees for its services). The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee shall be reimbursed by the Issuer, as provided in Section 5.03 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, for all reasonable ordinary out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services (as provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement). Reimbursable expenses under this Section 6.07 shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, any co-trustee and their respective employees, directors and agents, as provided in Section 5.03 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, against any and all claim, loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Operative Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of any information returns and being the mortgagee of record with respect to the Assistance Loans. The Indenture Trustee or co-trustee, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the co-trustee, as applicable, to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of their respective obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee or any co-trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s or co-trustee’s, as the case may be, own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Issuer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee or any co-trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.08.

Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving 90 days’ written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Issuer, the Insurer, each Noteholder and each Rating Agency. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i)

the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii)

the Indenture Trustee is adjudged 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.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee (approved in writing by the Insurer, so long as such approval is not unreasonably withheld) that satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 6.11.

The resigning or removed Indenture Trustee agrees to cooperate with any successor Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the resigning or removed Indenture Trustee’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide such successor Indenture Trustee all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Indenture Trustee’s functions hereunder.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer and the Insurer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders and the Insurer. 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, the Insurer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Balance of the Controlling Class Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Insurer.

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

Section 6.09.

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

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

Section 6.10.

Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied, 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 Issuer, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

(b)

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

(i)

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 Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(c)

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

(d)

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

Every Holder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders under this Indenture, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

Section 9.01.

Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Noteholders. (a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with the consent of the Insurer and the prior notice to each Rating Agency, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, for any of the following purposes:

(i)

to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

(ii)

to evidence the succession, in compliance with the applicable provisions hereof, of another person to the Issuer, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and in the Notes contained;

(iii)

to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

(iv)

to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Indenture Trustee;

(v)

(A) to cure any ambiguity, (B) to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or in any supplemental indenture or to conform the provisions hereof to those of the Offering Document, (C) to obtain or maintain a rating for a Class of Notes from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (D) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to clause (D) of this subparagraph (v) shall adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder not consenting thereto;

(vi)

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of 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 facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article Six; or

(vii)

to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this 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 may be expressly required by the TIA;

provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel stating that entering into such supplemental indenture will not adversely affect the tax status of the REMICs created by the Trust Agreement.

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)

A letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to this Section 9.01 will not cause the then-current ratings on the Notes without taking into account the Policy to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn shall constitute conclusive evidence that such amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 9.02.

Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to each Rating Agency and with the consent of the Insurer and the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Balance of the Notes of each Class, by Act 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 Outstanding Note affected thereby (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments in respect of any Note, (ii) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee to make an Advance or alter the servicing standards set forth in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes affected thereby, or (iv) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive 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, adversely affect the tax status of the REMICs created by the Trust Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee may rely on an Opinion of Counsel to determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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, the Insurer and each Rating Agency 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 Nine or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Section 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect provided in Section 9.07. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.04.

Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the 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 Nine shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.06.

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

Section 9.07.

Opinion of Counsel. In connection with any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article Nine, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Article Nine have been met.

Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall be construed to require that any Person obtain the consent of the Indenture Trustee to any amendment or waiver or any provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the giving of such waiver without obtaining the consent of the Indenture Trustee is not prohibited by this Indenture or by the terms of the document that is the subject of the proposed amendment or waiver.

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

Section 10.03.

Notes Payable on Optional Redemption Date. The Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required under Section 10.02 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.01) and remittance to the Indenture Trustee of the Optional Redemption Price as required under Section 10.01, on the Optional Redemption Date become due and payable at the Optional Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Optional Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Optional Redemption Price.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer: (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 11.01; provided, that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above need be furnished.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iv)

a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Section 11.02.

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

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, 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 Six.

Section 11.03.

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(d)

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

Section 11.04.

Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Insurer 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, the Insurer 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 its Corporate Trust Office, or

(ii)

the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer 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 the address provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

(iii)

The Insurer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be sufficient for any purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed by first-class mail personally delivered or telecopied to the recipient as follows:

To the Insurer:

Ambac Assurance Corporation

One State Street Plaza

New York, NY 10004

Attention: Managing Director

Telecopy: (000) 000-0000

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address provided in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

Section 11.05.

Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event (and in all cases, the Insurer shall receive notice), at such Holder’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.

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 a Default or a Rapid Amortization Event.

Section 11.06.

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 Trust Indenture Act, 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 11.07.

Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 11.08.

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

Section 11.09.

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

Section 11.10.

Benefits of Indenture and Consents of Noteholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, consents to and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Indenture. The Insurer and its successors and permitted assigns shall be third-party beneficiaries to the provisions of this Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly to enforce such provisions of this Indenture.

Section 11.11.

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

Section 11.12.

Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 11.13.

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 11.14.

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 (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer) 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 11.15.

Trust Obligations.
