Notwithstanding Section 316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Noteholders in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Noteholders of record of the applicable class at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes of such class have authorized or agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes of such class shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such Direction by the Noteholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one year after the record date.

(e) Any Direction or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Notes of such class may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”), and for payment thereof (each, a “Paying Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of such Notes may be served. The Trustee shall be the initial Paying Agent, and the Issuer shall not be permitted to act as a Paying Agent. The Issuer shall cause each Registrar to keep a register of such class of Notes for which it is acting as Registrar and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”). Written notice of the location of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Holders of such class of Notes. In the event that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Each Registrar other than the Trustee shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five (5) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Registrar.

(c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor corporation.

(d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section. The Issuer shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Trustee; and in each case the Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of the related class of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Register for such class of Notes.

(e) The Issuer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to be agreed to pursuant to separate agreements with each such Authorized Agent.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Notes shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders with respect to which such money was deposited.

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

Section 2.05 Method of Payment. (a) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall, or shall instruct a Paying Agent to, pay, to the extent of the Available Collections Amount for such Payment Date, to the Noteholders all interest, principal and Premium, if any, on each class of Notes in the amounts determined by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05; provided, that payment on a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof only in conformity with Section 2.05(c) hereof and payment on any Note may be deferred as provided in Section 2.05(d) hereof. Each payment on any Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date with respect to any class of Notes shall be made by the Trustee or Paying Agent to the Noteholders as of the Record Date for such Payment Date. The final payment with respect to any Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.

(b) At such time, if any, as the Notes of any class are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to such class of Notes. Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York, New York; provided that the final payment for each class of Notes shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes of such class by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Trustee or Paying Agent. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of such class of Notes to each Noteholder of such class, specifying the date and amount of such final payment.

(c) The beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may arrange to receive interest installments through Euroclear or Clearstream on such Temporary Regulation S Global Note only after delivery by such beneficial owner to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 hereto, and upon delivery of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent of a certification or certifications substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 hereto. No interest shall be paid to any beneficial owner and no interest shall be paid to Euroclear or Clearstream on such beneficial owner’s interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note unless Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, has provided such a certification to the Paying Agent with respect to such interest.

(d) If the Issuer informs the Trustee that any Holder or any beneficial owner of an interest in any Global Note has not executed and delivered to the Issuer a Confidentiality Agreement, the Trustee shall withhold and deposit in the Escrow Account the portion of any payment of principal, Premium or interest on the Notes allocable to the Notes held by such Holder or the undivided interest in such Global Note allocable to such beneficial owner. The Trustee shall distribute the amounts so

withheld, without interest, to such Holder or beneficial owner upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Issuer that such Holder or beneficial owner has executed and delivered a Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 2.06 Minimum Denomination. Each class of Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

A Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture, including the requirement for delivery of a Confidentiality Agreement as set forth in Section 2.11. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register and confirmation by the Issuer that such Holder has delivered a Confidentiality Agreement to the Issuer and that such Holder is a Permitted Holder.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of a Note and satisfaction of the requirements specified in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Noteholder as the absolute owner and Holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Note by furnishing the Issuer a copy of such request.

Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that, subject to Section 2.10(b) hereof, transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. Except as set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes.

The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Maturity Date of any such Notes or during a 15-day period preceding the first mailing of any notice of Redemption or Refinancing of Notes to be redeemed or refinanced. The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Notes that have been selected, called or are being called for Redemption or Refinancing except, in the case of any Notes where notice has been given that such Notes are to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Holder thereof and presentation of the Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar and a confirmation by the Issuer to the Trustee that such Holder has delivered a Confidentiality Agreement to the Issuer, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Note, payable to such Holder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or a Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or such Registrar. If the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee or a Registrar (i) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Issuer, the Trustee and such Registrar harmless (an unsecured indemnity from any QIB being acceptable security) and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and such Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof (an affidavit from any QIB being satisfactory evidence). The Noteholders will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any Registrar) connected therewith.

Section 2.09 Payments of Transfer Taxes. Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Section 2.10 Book-Entry Provisions. (a) Global Notes shall (i) be registered in the name of DTC for such Notes or in the name of the nominee of DTC, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (iii) bear the Private Placement Legend as set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders of any class of Global Notes is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued pursuant to Section 2.10(b) below, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders of such class of Global Notes to DTC and/or the Agent Members, and shall make available additional copies as requested by such Agent Members, subject to the limitations on distribution contained in Section 2.11.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Global Note. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC in identifying the Agent Members in respect of the Global Notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of any Global Notes to be issued).

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Agent Members in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC and the

provisions of Section 2.11 hereof. Definitive Notes shall be issued to the individual Agent Members or Beneficial Holders or their nominees in exchange for their Beneficial Interests in the Permanent Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, respectively, with respect to any class of Notes only if (i) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depositary with respect to the Notes and the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to appoint a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii) during the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any class of Notes, Noteholders of such class representing an aggregate of not less than 51% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of such class of Notes advise the Issuer, the Trustee and DTC through the Agent Members in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders of such class. Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall notify all affected Noteholders of such class, through DTC, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of such class; provided, however, that in no event shall the Temporary Regulation S Global Note be exchanged for Definitive Notes prior to the later of (x) the Regulation S Global Note Exchange Date and (y) the date of receipt by the Issuer of any certificates determined by it to be required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Notes of such class held by DTC, accompanied by registration instructions from DTC for registration of Definitive Notes in the names of the Noteholders of such class, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Notes of such class to the Agent Members and Beneficial Holders of such class or their nominees in accordance with the instructions of DTC.

None of the Issuer, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such class, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor to DTC.

Definitive Notes of any class will be freely transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same class at the office of the Trustee or the office of a Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set forth herein. In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor and may be obtained at the office of the applicable Registrar.

(c) Any Beneficial Interest in one of the Global Notes as to any class that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(d) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Permanent Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section 2.11, bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Permanent Global Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

(e) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section 2.11, bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Regulation S Global Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

(f) Upon the request of the Servicer from time to time, the Trustee shall request DTC to provide a list of the Agent Members holding Beneficial Interests in the Notes on such Record Date and shall provide such list to the Servicer. Any cost involved in obtaining such list shall be included in the Expenses to be reimbursed on the next succeeding Payment Date. Not later than five Business Days prior to each Payment Date or any other date on which a Distribution Report is to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.13(a) to Agent Members and Beneficial Holders, the Servicer shall provide a list to the Trustee of the Agent Members, Beneficial Holders and Noteholders (other than DTC or its nominee or any other depositary) that have provided Confidentiality Agreements to the Issuer, and the Trustee shall distribute such reports only to the Agent Members, Beneficial Holders and Noteholders named on such list.

No one or more Noteholders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Indenture and the terms of the Notes over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

(b) Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by Holders of the Notes to the Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee and the other parties hereto.

Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking

to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may 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 defense made by the party litigant. This Section 4.11 does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of interest, principal, or Premium, if any, on his Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or a suit by a Noteholder or Noteholders of more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.

Section 4.12 Control by Noteholders. Subject to Sections 4.02 and 4.04 hereof and to the rights of the Trustee hereunder, Noteholders of any class of Notes with at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such class of Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Indenture; provided that:

(2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders of such class not taking part in such direction; and

(3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

The “Controlling Party” with respect to this Indenture shall be the Senior Trustee, which shall be (A) so long as any Class A Notes are outstanding, the Trustee acting at the direction of the Noteholders of the Class A Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes, and (B) after the Class A Notes have been repaid in full, and so long as any Class B Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee acting at the direction of the Noteholders of the Class B Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class B Notes. For purposes of giving effect to the foregoing, the Trustee irrevocably agrees (and the Noteholders (other than the Noteholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be deemed to agree by virtue of their purchase of the Notes) that the Controlling Party, as determined in accordance with this Section 4.13, shall have all of the rights granted to it under this Indenture, including the right to direct the Trustee to take certain action as provided for in this Indenture, and the Trustee hereby agrees to act in accordance with each such authorized direction of the Controlling Party.

Section 4.14 Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Senior Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Indenture Estate shall be deposited in the Collection Account and distributed as provided in Article III.

Section 4.15 Waivers of Rights Inhibiting Enforcement. The Issuer waives (a) any claim that, as to any part of the Indenture Estate, a public sale, should the Senior Trustee elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially reasonable method of sale for such part of the Indenture Estate, (b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Senior Trustee offsets or counterclaims that it may have, (c) except as otherwise provided in any of the Related Documents, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH

THE TRUSTEE’S TAKING POSSESSION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE INDENTURE ESTATE INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT THE ISSUER WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE U.S. OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER, (d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and extension or moratorium and (e) all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or remedies under this Indenture or the absolute sale of the Indenture Estate, now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waive the benefit of all such laws and rights.

In addition, the Issuer may remove the Trustee as to any class of Notes if: (i) such Trustee fails to comply with Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Issuer or the Noteholders of the related class who have been bona fide Noteholders for at least six months, (ii) such Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.02(d) or any other provision hereof, (iii) such Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent, (iv) a receiver or public officer takes charge of such Trustee or its property or (v) such Trustee becomes incapable of acting. References to the Trustee in this Indenture include any successor Trustee as to all or any of the classes of Notes appointed in accordance with this Article VII. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not be effective until a successor Trustee shall have been duly appointed and vested as Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02.

Section 7.02 Appointment of Successor. (a) In the case of the resignation or removal of the Trustee as to any class of Notes under Section 7.01 hereof, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee as to such class; provided that the Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such class of Notes may appoint, within one year after such resignation or removal, a successor Trustee as to such class which may be other than the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer, and such successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer shall be superseded by the successor Trustee so appointed by the Noteholders. If a successor Trustee as to any class of Notes shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment hereunder within 60 days after the Trustee gives notice of resignation as to such class, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer or a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such class of Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee as to such class. Any successor Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Trustee appointed as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.

(b) Any successor Trustee as to any class of Notes, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee as to such class an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of such predecessor Trustee hereunder in the trusts hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Trustee as to

such class herein; provided that, upon the written request of such successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of all amounts due and owing to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Trustee, and such predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Trustee all moneys or other property then held by such predecessor Trustee hereunder solely for the benefit of such class of Notes.

(c) If a successor Trustee is appointed with respect to one or more (but not all) classes of the Notes, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to each class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the classes of Notes as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Notes hereunder by more than one Trustee.

(d) Each Trustee shall be an Eligible Institution and shall meet the Eligibility Requirements, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of an Trustee hereunder.

(e) Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the business of the Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.02, be the Trustee under this Indenture without further act.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNITY

Section 8.01 Indemnity. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by it without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted to be taken in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished hereunder, or the failure to furnish any such Officer’s Certificate required to be furnished hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlements made without its consent; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or provide any indemnity against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8.02 Noteholders’ Indemnity. The Trustee shall be entitled, subject to such Trustee’s duty during a Default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the Noteholders of any class of Notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under this Indenture at the request or direction of such Holders.

Section 8.03 Survival. The provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

ARTICLE IX

MODIFICATION

Section 9.01 Modification with Consent of Holders. With the consent of Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes on the date of any vote of such Holders (voting as a single class), the Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution, may amend or modify this Indenture or the Notes; provided that, without the consent of Holders of one hundred percent (100%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, no such amendment may reduce the percentage of Holders of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action hereunder; change the amount or the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes or change the rate or manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes; alter or modify the provisions with respect to the Collateral for the Notes or the manner of payment or the order of priorities in which payments or distributions hereunder will be made as between the Holders of such Notes and the Issuer; or consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (each, a “Basic Terms Modification”); provided further, that the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may waive any Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Any such modification approved by the required Holders of any class of Notes will be binding on the Holders of the relevant class of Notes and each party to the Indenture.

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Note held by such Holder.

Section 9.02 Modification Without Consent of Holder. The Trustee may agree, without the consent of any Noteholder:

(a) To evidence the succession of a successor as the Trustee, the removal of the Trustee or the appointment of any separate or additional trustee or trustees and to define the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon any such separate trustee or trustees or co-trustees;

(b) To correct, confirm or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture or to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee;

(c) To cure any ambiguity in, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision of, or add to or modify any other provisions and agreements in, the Indenture or any other Related Document, in any manner that will not, in the judgment of the Trustee, materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes;

(d) To grant or confer upon the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security which may be lawfully granted or conferred and which are not contrary or inconsistent with the Indenture;

(e) To add to or modify the covenants or agreements to be observed by the Issuer, which are not contrary to the Indenture, to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

(f) To comply with the requirements of the SEC or any regulatory body or any applicable law, rules or regulations; or

(g) To effect any indenture supplemental to the Indenture or any other amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to the Indenture or any other Related Document; provided, that such supplemental indenture, amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect as confirmed in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer.

Section 9.03 Subordination and Priority of Payments. The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.07 and Article X hereof may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Noteholder of each class affected thereby. In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.07 relating to the priority and payment of Expenses be amended or modified.

Section 9.04 Execution of Amendments by Trustee. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or modification to this Indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

ARTICLE X

SUBORDINATION

Section 10.01 Subordination of the Notes. (a) Each of the Issuer and the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders of each class of Notes) covenants and agrees, and each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, covenants and agrees, that the Notes of each class will be issued subject to the provisions of this Article X; and each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, agrees that all amounts payable on any Note will, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article X and Section 3.07 hereof, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Expenses payable to the Service Providers pursuant to this Indenture and the Related Documents. In addition, each Holder of a Class B Note, by its acceptance of a Class B Note, agrees that all amounts payable on any Class B Note will, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article X and Section 3.07 hereof, be subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of the Class A Notes. Any claim to payment so stated to be subordinated is referred to as a “Subordinated Claim”; each claim to payment to which another claim to payment is a Subordinated Claim is referred to as a “Senior Claim” with respect to such Subordinated Claim.

(b) If prior to the payment in full of all Senior Claims then due and payable, the Trustee or any Holder of a Subordinated Claim shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinated Claim in excess of the amount to which such Holder was then entitled under Section 3.07 hereof, then such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the Trustee for application as provided in such Section 3.07.

(c) If any Service Provider, the Trustee or Holder of any Senior Claim receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim which is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article X, all as if such payment had not been received.

(d) The Trustee (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Holders) and the Issuer each confirm that the payment priorities specified in Section 3.07 hereof shall apply in all circumstances.

(e) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

(f) If payment on the Notes is accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the holders of the Senior Claims of such acceleration.

(g) After all Senior Claims are paid in full and until the Subordinated Claims are paid in full, and to the extent that such Senior Claims shall have been paid with funds that would, but for the subordination pursuant to this Article X, have been paid to and retained by such holders of Subordinated Claims, the holders of Subordinated Claims shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Claims to receive payments applicable to Senior Claims. A payment made under this Article X to holders of Senior Claims which otherwise would have been made to the holders of Subordinated Claims is not, as between the Issuer and the holders of Subordinated Claims, a payment by the Issuer.

(h) No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any Subordinated Claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Trustee to comply with this Indenture.

(i) Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of such Holder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior Claim and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim. Each holder of a Subordinated Claim agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof.

ARTICLE XI

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 11.01 Discharge of Liability on the Notes. (a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.09(a) hereof or any other Redemption pursuant to Section 3.09(c) hereof and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Redemption Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.01(b), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Section 8.01 and the Trustee’s obligations in Section 12.14 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 Right of Trustee to Perform. If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents.

Section 12.02 Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 12.03 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties,

jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

Section 12.04 Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights. The Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of such class and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04, may xxx for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer. Each of the Noteholders shall at all times be deemed to have agreed by virtue of the acceptance of the Notes that only the Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class of Notes, the Senior Trustee, in its capacity as trustee and except as provided in Section 4.04, may take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, composition, examination or any like proceedings under the laws of Delaware.

Section 12.05 Notices. All notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions, instructions and communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, or (e) in the case of reports under Article III hereof and any other report which is of a routine nature, on the date transmitted by electronic mail or sent by first class mail or transmitted by legible telecopier transmission, in all cases addressed to the recipient as follows:

Each of the parties hereto waives any objection which it might now or hereafter have to the U.S. federal or New York State courts located in The City of New York being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and agrees not to claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the process by which any suit, action or proceeding is begun may be served on it by being delivered in connection with any suit, action or proceeding in The City of New York to the Person named as the process agent of such party in Exhibit F at the address set out therein or at the principal New York City office of such process agent, if not the same.

(b) The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 12.10(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

Section 12.11 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in one or more counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.12 Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions hereof.

Section 12.13 Trust Indenture Act. This Indenture shall not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and shall not be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, although it shall incorporate such provisions for ease of reference.

Section 12.14 Confidential Information. The Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Trustee, agrees and acknowledges that all Confidential Information provided to the Trustee by NPS or Amgen is considered to be proprietary and confidential information of NPS or Amgen, as applicable. The Trustee agrees to take all reasonable precautions necessary to keep the Confidential Information confidential, which precautions shall be no less stringent than those which the Trustee employs to protect its own confidential information. The Trustee shall not disclose to any third party other than as set forth below, and shall not use for any purpose other than the exercise of the Trustee’s rights and the performance of its obligations under this Indenture, any Confidential Information of Amgen without the prior written consent of Amgen. The Trustee shall limit access to Confidential Information received hereunder to (i) its directors, officers and employees, and (ii) its legal advisors, to each of whom disclosure of Confidential Information is necessary for the purposes described above; provided, however, that in each case such party has expressly agreed to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence under terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms of this Section 12.14.

The Trustee agrees that Amgen has no responsibility whatsoever for any reliance on Confidential Information by the Trustee or by any person to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed in connection with this Indenture, whether related to the purposes described above or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that Amgen makes no representation or warranty whatsoever to it with respect to Confidential Information or its suitability for such purposes. The Trustee further agrees that it shall not acquire any rights against Amgen or any employee, officer, director, representative or agent of Amgen (together with Amgen, “Amgen Parties”) as a result of the disclosure of Confidential Information to the Trustee or to any Noteholder or Beneficial Holder and that no Amgen Party has any duty, responsibility, liability or obligation to any Person as a result of any such disclosure.

In the event the Trustee is required to disclose any Confidential Information received hereunder in order to comply with any laws, regulations or court orders, it may disclose such Confidential

Information only to the extent necessary for such compliance, provided, however, that it shall give Amgen reasonable advance written notice of any such court proceeding in which such disclosure may be required pursuant to a court order so as to afford Amgen a full and fair opportunity to oppose the issuance of such order and to appeal therefrom and shall cooperate reasonably with Amgen in opposing such order and in securing confidential treatment of any Confidential Information to be disclosed and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure.

The Trustee agrees that Amgen is an express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 12.14.

CINACALCET ROYALTY SUB LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum set forth on Schedule I on or before March 30, 2017 (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest quarterly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a rate per annum equal to 8.0% (the “Stated Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid or duly provided for, which interest shall be due on each Payment Date and payable not later than the immediately succeeding Payment Date (together with Additional Interest on the amount of unpaid interest from the Payment Date on which it was due until the date on which it is paid, compounded quarterly on each Payment Date). If a B&W Payment or Amgen Payment is made, whether by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture or by Amgen as a payment or offset to discharge a liability of NPS to Amgen, the Stated Interest Rate shall be increased by 0.75% during the period beginning on the first day any such B&W Payment or an Amgen Payment is outstanding and ending on the date on which NPS has reimbursed the entire amount of such B&W Payment or Amgen Payment and all other B&W Payments and Amgen Payments together with the entire amount of the increase in the Stated Interest Rate imposed by this sentence. Interest on this Class A Note in each Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Accrual Period.

This Class A Note is a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its “Secured 8% Notes, due 2017”, issued under the Indenture dated as of December 22, 2004 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture also provides for the issuance of Class B Notes. All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Class A Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders, if any. This Class A Note is subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Issuer will pay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Class A Note prior to the Final Maturity Date on the Payment Dates and in the amounts specified in the Indenture, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.07 of the Indenture.

The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Class A Note prior to the Final Maturity Date on the Payment Dates, in the amounts and under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

Any amount of Premium or interest on this Class A Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest (“Additional Interest”) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Stated Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, compounded quarterly and payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections Amount therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.07 of the Indenture.

A-1

The indebtedness evidenced by the Class A Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, senior in right of payment to the right of payment of the Class B Notes, and this Class A Note is issued subject to such provisions.

This Class A Note is issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer this Note only by delivery of a written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee, a Confidentiality Agreement duly executed by such transferee and by otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Class A Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes on the date of any vote of such Holders (voting as a single class); provided that, without the consent of Holders of one hundred percent (100%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the class of Notes affected thereby, no such amendment may (i) reduce the percentage of Holders of any such class of Notes required to take or approve any action hereunder; (ii) change the amount or the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any such class of Notes or change the rate or manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any such class of Notes; (iii) alter or modify the provisions with respect to the Collateral for the Notes or the manner of payment or the order of priorities in which payments or distributions hereunder will be made as between the Holders of such Notes and the Issuer; or (iv) consent to any assignment of the Issuer’s rights to a party other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (each, a “Basic Terms Modification”). Any such amendment or modification shall be binding on every Holder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Class A Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, (a) to any modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any Related Document or of the relevant Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or (b) to modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the timing of movement of monies received among the Accounts by the Trustee.

Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Class A Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A Note.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Class A Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
