Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order directing the authorization and delivery of such Notes, execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,

the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as if they were Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the initial “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 is unable to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as the Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee 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 shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times, to obtain copies thereof and 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 Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

Each purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) the transferee is not acquiring and will not hold any Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan or plan (each of the foregoing, a “Benefit Plan”) or (d) any governmental plan, non-U.S. plan or church plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), or (ii) (x) such Note is rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization at the time of purchase or transfer and (y) the transferee’s acquisition and continued holding of the Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or result in a nonexempt violation of Similar Law. The Notes are not eligible for purchase by Benefit Plans at any time that the Notes do not have a current investment grade rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency. Any purchase or transfer of a Note (or any interest therein) in violation of the foregoing shall be void ab initio.

(b) Any Notes retained by the Issuer, or a Person related to the Issuer, for which the Issuer has not received an Opinion of Counsel that such Notes will be indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may not be transferred to another Person unless an Opinion of Counsel is delivered at such time that such Notes will be indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) Subject to Section 2.4(a), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall 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 Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for

other new Notes of the same Class 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, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a)(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes, authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The Indenture Trustee shall make a notation on any such new Note of the amount of principal, if any, that has been paid on such Note.

(d) 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.

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder thereof or such Noteholder’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, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act.

(f) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee will 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 2.3 or 9.5.

SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. (a) If: (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to hold the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, respectively, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven (7) days shall be, due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note (or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be

entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered (or payment made) or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by such Noteholder 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.

(c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 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.

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

SECTION 2.6. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by such Person; provided, that wiring instructions have been received by the Indenture Trustee on or before the related Record Date. However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee or, if a wire transfer cannot be effected, by a U.S. dollar check mailed to the Clearing Agency or its nominee. Notwithstanding the above, the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1) shall be payable as provided in clause (b)(ii). The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 6.17.

(b) (i) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date in accordance with, and in the amounts determined pursuant to, Section 8.3.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire Outstanding Principal Balance shall be due and payable on: (A) the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2, and (B) if any Note remains Outstanding, the Maturity Date for such Note.

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, no part of the principal of any Note shall be paid prior to the Payment Date on which such principal is due in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 2.7, except that the Issuer may redeem the Notes in their entirety in accordance with Section 10.1.

(iv) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer has notified the Indenture Trustee that it expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed no later than five days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

(v) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. All payments on the Notes shall be made without any requirement of presentment but each holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree, by its acceptance of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office against payment of the final installment of principal of such Note.

(c) (i) For each Payment Date, the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes will be the interest that has accrued on the respective Notes in the related Interest Accrual Period, at the applicable Interest Rate applied to the then Outstanding Principal Balances of the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, respectively, on the preceding Payment Date subject to Section 3.1. With respect to the Class A-1 Notes, the interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period and a 360-day year. With respect to the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and Class C Notes, the interest will be calculated on the basis of twelve (12) 30-day months in the applicable Interest Accrual Period and a 360-day year.

(ii) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay, in any lawful manner, defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable interest rate from the Payment Date for which such payment is in default. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest on a subsequent special payment date declared by the Issuer to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the special payment date. At least fifteen (15) days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the special payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

(d) All payments made with respect to any Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and shall be applied first to the interest then due and payable on such Notes and then to the principal thereof.

SECTION 2.8. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.9. Global Notes. Each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Global Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company (the initial Clearing Agency), or its custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Class A Note Owner, Class B Note Owner or Class C Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) representing the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes or the Class C Notes have been issued to the applicable Note Owners:

(i) the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes) as the sole Noteholder and shall have no obligations to the Note Owners;

(ii) to the extent that this Section 2.9 conflicts with any other provisions of this Indenture, this Section 2.9 shall control;

(iii) the rights of the respective Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such respective Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to this Indenture. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the Issuer intends that the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the related Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes, as the case may be, to such Clearing Agency Participants (and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any liability therefor);

(iv) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions, directions, or the consent of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (or a Class of 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 (or Class of Notes) and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

(v) owners of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will not be entitled to have any portion of a Global Note registered in their names and will not be considered to be the owners or Noteholders of any Notes under this Indenture; and

(vi) payments on a Global Note will be made to the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, as the registered owner thereof. None of the Issuer, GE Capital, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on, account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 2.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Class A Noteholders, Class B Noteholders or Class C Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.

SECTION 2.11. Definitive Notes. (a) If: (i) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of a notice of intent from the Clearing

Agency, the participants holding beneficial interests in the Notes agree to initiate a termination or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes advise the Clearing Agency and the Indenture Trustee in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Note Owners of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Global Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration and transfer instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, 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. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Issuer, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Issuer shall recognize the holders of the relevant Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

(b) Definitive Notes will not be eligible for clearing or settlement through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 2.12. Notes Owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates. In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not Outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, upon notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Notes in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and related materials.

SECTION 2.14. Perfection Representations and Warranties. The parties hereto agree that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Schedule 1 shall be a part of this Indenture for all purposes.

SECTION 2.15. Notes to Constitute Indebtedness. The parties hereto agree that it is their mutual intent that, for all applicable tax purposes, the Notes will constitute indebtedness. Further, each party hereto and each Noteholder (by accepting and holding a Note) hereby covenants to every other party hereto and to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all applicable tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and returns and otherwise, and further covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take, or participate in the taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Notes as

indebtedness for tax purposes. All successors and assignees of the parties hereto shall be bound by the provisions hereof.

SECTION 3.6. Opinions as to the Collateral. (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the Lien created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such Lien effective.

SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Loans. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

(b) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Related Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

(c) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and if a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with

respect to the Loans, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

(d) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that: (i) it shall promptly exercise its rights to terminate the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in clause (a) of such section and (ii) prior to exercising its rights to terminate the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default set forth in clause (b) of such section, obtain the consent of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes. Within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), such appointment to be reflected by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the previous Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a Successor Servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall: (i) be an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Loans. In case the Indenture Trustee becomes the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Successor Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Successor Servicer. In case the Indenture Trustee becomes the Successor Servicer, it shall not be responsible for delays attributable to the Servicer's failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond its control as Successor Servicer. Upon the Indenture Trustee becoming the Successor Servicer, it shall make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to such Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed necessary by such Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Loans payment history, (iv) collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on

the day immediately preceding conversion to such Successor Servicer, reflecting all applicable information relating to the Loans. Upon the Indenture Trustee becoming the Successor Servicer, it shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Indenture if any such failure or delay results from such Successor Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than such Successor Servicer or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. Upon the Indenture Trustee becoming the Successor Servicer, it shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the Servicer, or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by such Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Loan with applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Loan or its related Equipment.

(v) so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, no direction by other Noteholders inconsistent with such written request has been given to the

Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes;

(vi) with respect to any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or similar proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law, the Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes that remains Outstanding has consented thereto in writing; provided, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the Noteholder’s rights to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that the Noteholders may have for claims against the Issuer,

it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholder(s) shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholder(s) or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the other Noteholders. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to petition a court for the removal of an Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two (2) or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of amounts due has been obtained as described in Section 5.2, the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default: (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

SECTION 5.10. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree (and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking

to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to: (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.11. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.12. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any funds or other property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.3(c).

SECTION 5.13. [Reserved]

SECTION 5.14. Sale of Collateral. (a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral described pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts due under this Indenture have been paid in full. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with Section 5.8, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. For any public sale of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee shall have provided each Noteholder and Moody’s with notice of such sale at least two (2) weeks in advance of such sale which notice shall specify the date, time and location of such sale.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof in a private sale to a third party unless,

(i) the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make such sale; or

(ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of all amounts due under this Indenture.

(i) any one or more Noteholders may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain, and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and any Noteholder may, in paying the purchase price therefore, deliver in lieu of cash any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for credit in the amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and the Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

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

(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring, without representation, warranty or recourse, any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof;

(iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds; and

(v) the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(i) or (ii), unless the applicable conditions in this Section 5.14 are met and: (A) all the Noteholders direct in writing a sale or liquidation of the Collateral, (B)(i) the Indenture Trustee (or its agent) determines, based on a certification of the Issuer, that the anticipated proceeds of such sale or liquidation (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation), based on a certificate of the Issuer, would be sufficient to discharge in full all amounts due and unpaid upon such Notes and other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and (ii) the Noteholders acting unanimously do not direct in writing the Indenture Trustee to the contrary within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such determination by the Indenture Trustee or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes. In determining whether to sell or hold the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may obtain and rely upon an opinion of any Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation in the United States as to the feasibility of

such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest.

(d) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the Collateral shall be commercially reasonable.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not be construed to restrict the ability of the Indenture Trustee to exercise any rights and powers against the Issuer or the Collateral that are vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture, including, without limitation, the power of the Indenture Trustee to proceed against the collateral subject to the Lien of this Indenture and to institute judicial proceedings for the collection of any deficiency remaining thereafter.

(f) The purchase price received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of any sale made in accordance with this Section shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the Noteholders and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.3(c).

ARTICLE VI

SECTION 6.1. Duties of the Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee 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 their 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 an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer:

(i) The duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture and the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

(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 conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

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

(v) the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuer, the Servicer or their respective agents, nor shall it have any liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuer or the Servicer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of the Issuer, the Servicer or their respective agents with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Loans.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to this Section and the TIA.

(h) The Indenture Trustee:

(i) shall at all times be a “participant” (as such term is defined in the Federal Book-Entry Regulations) in the Federal Reserve System;

(ii) shall, to the extent that any of the Trust Accounts is a Securities Account, comply with all of the obligations of a Securities Intermediary under Article 8 of the UCC with respect thereto; and

(iii) agrees that each item of property including cash received by it for deposit in or credit to a Trust Account, and each investment made by it pursuant to Section 8.6 shall constitute and be treated by it as a Financial Asset.

(i) No person other than the Indenture Trustee as provided herein shall have “control” (as such term is defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC and Section 9-104 of the UCC) of any of the Trust Accounts.

SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:

(i) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note, debenture, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties (and the Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document);

(iv) the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel as to legal matters and the advice or opinion of any such counsel selected by the Indenture Trustee with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(v) the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(vi) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note, debenture, other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney;

(vii) the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(viii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith;

(ix) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder;

(x) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Issuer;

(xiii) in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages; and

(xiv) the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Issuer or (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Indenture Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes, except to the

extent provided by the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the proceeds of the Notes.

SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.13.

SECTION 6.4. Funds Held in Trust. Funds and investments and other property held by the Indenture Trustee shall be segregated and held in one or more Trust Accounts held with the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.6. [Reserved]

SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder as the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee upon its request, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by them in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 6.7) against the Issuer and defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of their duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer with a copy to the Servicer, promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.

The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

The Indenture Trustee agrees not to institute (alone or in conjunction with any other Person) against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under U.S. federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws on account of the non-payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.7, until after the balance of each Note is reduced to zero and the expiration of a period equal to the longest applicable preference period under such bankruptcy laws and other applicable laws plus 366 days following such payment; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Indenture Trustee from taking any action prior to the expiration of the applicable preference period in any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Issuer by a Person other than the Indenture Trustee or to otherwise limit any claims that the Indenture Trustee may have against the Issuer. The foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee to take any action in accordance with Section 5.2.

SECTION 6.8. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 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 6.8. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Noteholders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

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

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

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any act or omission by any successor Trustee.

SECTION 6.9. 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. The Indenture Trustee shall provide, as soon as practicable, the Rating Agencies and the Issuer written notice of any such transaction; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.

In case at the time such successor(s) 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 trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of authentication shall have the full force and effect to the same extent given to the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture.

SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate 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 shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s) for the benefit of the Noteholders, and to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity all rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, or any part thereof, 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 6.8.

(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(s) are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act(s), in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of rights with respect 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, in its sole discretion, any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee as 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.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may be located.

SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. There shall at all times be an Indenture Trustee hereunder which shall (a) be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; (b) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most

recent published annual report of condition; (c) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority; and (d) at the time of appointment, shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt rating of “Baa3” or better by Xxxxx’x (or, if not rated by Xxxxx’x, a comparable rating by another statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

This Indenture shall always have a trustee who satisfies the requirements of Section 310(a)(1) of the TIA. The Indenture Trustee is subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA regarding disqualification of a trustee upon acquiring any conflicting interest.

If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have a conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for all of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, a successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed for one or all of such Classes, so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders or the Class C Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Related Document. However, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.2 and to the right of the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders to receive their share of any proceeds of enforcement) and after all amounts due and owing with respect to the Class A Notes have been paid, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class B Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under the Indenture (but subject to the right of the Class C Noteholders to receive their share of any proceeds of enforcement). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full, all rights to exercise remedies under this Indenture will transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Notes. Upon repayment of the Class B Notes in full, all rights to exercise remedies under this Indenture will transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the Class C Notes.

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein the successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with

respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) 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 trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein.

In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer have any responsibility or liability in connection with any filing required to be made by a securitizer under the Securities Exchange Act or Regulation AB.

SECTION 6.17. The Paying Agent. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c) or from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent xxxxxx agrees that subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall:

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

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

For so long as the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee are the same Person, written notice referred to in this Section 6.17 between the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall not be required.

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

The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Noteholders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for

redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Noteholder).

Each Paying Agent (other than the initial Paying Agent) shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided in Section 6.11.

SECTION 8.6. General Provisions Regarding Accounts. (a) Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested or reinvested by the Issuer in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer with any such investment direction delivered to the Indenture Trustee to be in writing. All Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Available Amounts. Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies, funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments of the entity serving as Indenture Trustee that may mature so that such funds will be available on the date prior to the Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the Transfer Date that precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Permitted Investments are not required to be invested overnight. In the absence of investment direction from the Issuer, amounts held in the Trust Accounts shall remain uninvested.

(b) The Issuer shall ensure that, in connection with any investment of any funds or any sale of any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts, the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee and perfected in such Trust Account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. The Indenture

Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Permitted Investment prior to its stated maturity.

(d) (i) If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or, (ii) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Collateral are being applied in accordance with Section 8.3(c) as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Issuer shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in the Permitted Investments identified in clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

SECTION 8.7. Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 8.7 shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Collateral that secured the Notes from the Lien of this Indenture.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section only upon receipt of an Issuer Request requesting such release accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

SECTION 8.8. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.7(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

(a) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Collateral to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

(b) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance, the consent of the Noteholders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Noteholders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(d) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2;

(g) 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 any Noteholder of the security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of the Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act

shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Indenture or in any other Related Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may provide.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been met.

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

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

(w) 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;

SECTION 11.2. 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, opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based is/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 any Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Administrator, Managing Member, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of any Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Administrator, Managing Member, as applicable, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, opinion or representations with respect to such matters is/are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) 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.

Where any Person is required or permitted to make, give or execute two (2) 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, certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instrument(s) 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(s) are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument(s) (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument(s). 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 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. At any time the Notes of any Class are maintained on Notes, any reference in this Indenture to an Act of Noteholders or a Noteholder or Noteholders representing a specified portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes or such Class of Notes shall be deemed to refer to an Act of Note Owners or a Note Owner or Note Owners holding such specified portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes or Class, as the case may be.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act by the Noteholder shall bind every Noteholder issued upon the registration of the related Note, 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.

(e) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee hereunder as the special attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder and the revisions pursuant hereto for the benefit of such Noteholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 11.3 shall be deemed to confer upon the Indenture Trustee any duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders, or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture, shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

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

(b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to: GE Equipment Transportation LLC, Series 2012-1, in care of General Electric

Capital Corporation, 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Capital Markets Operations, and to General Electric Capital Corporation, as Administrator, 000 Xxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: General Counsel, 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.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to their respective addresses set forth in Section 8.1 of the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid or certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by private courier or confirmed telecopy to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its 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 or the mailing of such report. In any case where notice or report to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report 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 or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to Noteholders, in accordance with this Section 11.5, of any event or any report to Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Indenture Trustee, shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

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 Event of Default.

SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture or the Notes for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7. 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 of the Indenture Trustee, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.8. Severability. Any provision of this Indenture or the Notes that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or of the Notes, as applicable, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.9. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.10. 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 Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.11. Governing Law. (a) THIS INDENTURE AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401(1) AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS INDENTURE IS SUBJECT TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED THEREBY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS INDENTURE OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE ISSUER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE ISSUER OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREUNDER, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER

COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.4 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 11.12. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.13. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any 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) 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 11.14. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, Managing Member or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against: (i) the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in their individual

capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, officer, director, employee or agent of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in their individual capacities, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, Managing Member or the Indenture Trustee or (c) of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Managing Member in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and Managing Member have no such obligations in their individual capacities) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

SECTION 11.15. Communication by Noteholders with Other Noteholders. Noteholders may communicate, pursuant to TIA Section 312(b), with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and all other parties shall be entitled to rely on and shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).

SECTION 11.16. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the performance or compliance with the covenants and undertakings of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit: (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuer or its agents, (ii) disclosure of any and all information: (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory or self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee’s business or that of its Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate or any officer, director, employee or shareholder thereof is subject, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular or prospectus, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and approved in advance by the Issuer or (E) to any Affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same; provided, that the Indenture Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed and such recipient agrees to keep such information confidential, (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Issuer or (iv) disclosure to the other parties to the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents.

SECTION 11.17. Agents of the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges that it has been advised that any agent of the Issuer may act on behalf of the Issuer hereunder for

purposes of all consents, amendments, waivers and other actions permitted or required to be taken, delivered or performed by the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee agrees that any such action taken by an agent on behalf of the Issuer shall satisfy the Issuer’s obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.18. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and certificate of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the Notes hereunder.

SECTION 11.19. 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 the TIA, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§ 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 11.20. Subordination. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that such Note represents indebtedness of the Issuer and does not represent an interest in any assets (other than a security interest in the Collateral) of the Purchaser (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Collateral and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) by virtue of its rights under such Note and this Indenture, such Noteholder shall not have any right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than a security interest in the Collateral) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Purchaser to any other Person or Persons (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”);

(b) the Notes constitute claims (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) solely against the Issuer, which may be satisfied solely from the Collateral and its proceeds (whether through ordinary liquidation or the exercise of UCC remedies and other remedies provided herein) and do not constitute claims against the Issuer or the Purchaser to the extent that the Collateral and such proceeds are insufficient to repay the Notes (including interest thereon, whether accrued before or after the filing of a bankruptcy petition) in full; and

(c) such Noteholder shall not file or join in a filing of a petition with respect to any bankruptcy reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or similar proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law relating to the Purchaser, or cooperate or encourage others to file such a petition, in each case unless the Noteholders representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes that remains Outstanding and holders of any rated securities, rated debt or other rated investment backed by any Other Assets representing not less than 66-2/3% of the outstanding principal balance of each class of such securities, debt or other investment has consented thereto in writing; provided, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the

Noteholder’s rights to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that the Noteholders may have for claims against the Issuer.

To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this subsection, any Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Purchaser or any other Person owned by the Purchaser, then each Noteholder by accepting a Note further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Purchaser other than obligations and liabilities to the Noteholders, including, the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.20 and the terms of this Section 11.20 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.

SECTION 11.21. Patriot Act. In order to comply, with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable banking institutions, including those relating to the funding terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, the Issuer agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.

Schedule 1

to Indenture

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, to induce the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders as to itself as follows, on the Closing Date:

General

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

2. The Loans constitute “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “instruments,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.

3. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the Purchaser in the property securing the Loans that constitute chattel paper.

Creation

4. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

Perfection

5. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Loans from the Purchaser to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Loans granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”

6. With respect to Loans that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper, either:

Schedule 1
1

(a) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of a custodian and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the custodian that the custodian is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper to effect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein; or

(b) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is acting to effect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein.

7. With respect to the Trust Accounts and all subaccounts that constitute deposit accounts the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer.

Priority

8. Other than the transfer of the Loans to the Issuer under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Purchaser has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Loans or the Trust Accounts or any subaccount thereof. Neither the Issuer nor the Purchaser has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against the Issuer or the Purchaser that include a description of collateral covering the Loans or the Trust Accounts or any subaccount thereof other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

9. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or any other Related Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all Notes under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.

10. No Waiver. The parties to the Indenture: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive any of the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer; and (iii) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

11. Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Issuer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to, take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Indenture Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, to prepare and present

Schedule 1
2

to the Indenture Trustee for the Indenture Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to file all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to, present each such Filing to the Indenture Trustee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the security interest to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Indenture and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Issuer’s signature authorizing the Servicer to effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Issuer where allowed by applicable law.
