Any portion of the text of a Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face thereof.

The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, are part of the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.02.

Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and

(f)

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

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders the Notes of which have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or the right of which to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Payments under the Policy.

(a)

If the Indenture Trustee determines with respect to any Payment Date that an Insured Amount shall be payable for any Group I Notes, after giving effect to the distributions specified in Section 3.05(a) (calculating such distributions without giving effect to any Insured Amount to be paid by the Enhancer on such Payment Date), the Indenture Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Policy and submit such notice to the Enhancer no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such Payment Date as a claim for an Insured Amount.

(b)

The Indenture Trustee shall establish an Eligible Account (which may be a subaccount of the Trustee Collection Account) for the benefit of Holders of the Group I Notes and the Enhancer referred to herein as the “Policy Payment Account” over which the Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit upon receipt any amount paid under the Policy in the Policy Payment Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to the Noteholders of the Group I Notes of the Insured Amount for which a claim was made and such amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust. Amounts paid under the Policy, to the extent needed to pay the Insured Amount shall be disbursed by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders of the Group I Notes in accordance with Section 3.05(a). It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to pay the Insured Amount with other funds available to make such payment. However, the amount of any payment of principal of or interest on the Group I Notes to be paid from funds transferred from the Policy Payment Account shall be noted as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 3.27 in the Note Register and in the Indenture Trustee’s Statement to Noteholders. Funds held in the Policy Payment Account shall not be invested. Any funds remaining in the Policy Payment Account on the first Business Day following a Payment Date shall be returned to the Enhancer pursuant to the written instructions of the Enhancer by the end of such Business Day.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of any Group I Note from moneys received under the Policy. The Enhancer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

(d)

In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any Insured Amount has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Enhancer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Enhancer of such voided Insured Amount, and shall at the time it provides notice to the Enhancer, notify, by mail to the Noteholders of the affected Group I Notes that, in the event any such Noteholder’s Insured Amount is so recovered, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the Policy, a copy of which shall be made available through the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer, or the Enhancer’s fiscal agent, if any, and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Enhancer or its fiscal agent, if any, its records evidencing the payments which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from the Noteholders of such Group I Notes, and dates on which such payments were made.

(e)

The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Enhancer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any payment made with respect to the Group I Notes. Each Noteholder of a Group I Note, by its purchase of a Group I Note, the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee agree that, the Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersede as or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the Enhancer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder of a Senior Note, the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the Enhancer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Master Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder of a Group I Note in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

(f)

The Indenture Trustee shall, upon retirement of the Group I Notes, furnish to the Enhancer a notice of such retirement, and, upon retirement of the Group I Notes and the expiration of the term of the Policy, surrender the Policy to the Enhancer for cancellation.

(g)

Unless an Enhancer Default exists and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the Enhancer’s rights or interests hereunder without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Noteholders of the Group I Notes as otherwise set forth herein.

(h)

Each Noteholder of a Group I Note, by its purchase of such Group I Note, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that, unless a Enhancer Default Exists and is continuing, the Enhancer shall have the right to direct all matters relating to the Group I Notes in any proceeding in a bankruptcy of the Issuer, including without limitation any proceeding relating to a Preference Amount and the posting of any surety or note pending any such appeal.

(i)

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on the Group I Notes which is made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered payment of the Group I Notes from the Trust. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, and each Noteholder of a Group I Note by acceptance of such Note agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Enhancer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (x) to the extent the Enhancer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the Group I Notes to the Holders of such Group I Notes, the Enhancer will be fully subrogated to, and each Noteholder of a Group I Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the Enhancer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such Noteholders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust, including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Noteholders of the Group I Notes in respect of securities law violations arising from the offer and sale of the Group I Notes, and (y) the Enhancer shall be paid such amounts from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the payment of such amounts.

Section 3.28.

Allocation of Losses on the Mortgage Loans. On each Payment Date, the amount of Liquidation Loss Amounts incurred on the Mortgage Loans in the related Collection Period that were not distributed pursuant to Sections 3.05(b)(v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) will be applied as follows: first, to reduce any Overcollateralization Amount (after allocation of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on the Mortgage Loans for such Payment Date) until such amount has been reduced to zero; second, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class IIB-1 Notes, until the Outstanding Note Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class IIM-2 Notes, until the Outstanding Note Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to reduce the Note Balance of the Class IIM-1 Notes, until the Outstanding Note Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and last to reduce the Note Balance of the Senior Group II Notes until the Outstanding Note Balances thereof have been reduced to zero. The reduction of the Note Balance of any Class of Notes by application of Liquidation Loss Amounts (such amount, an “Applied Loss Amount”) entitles such Class to reimbursement for such amount, with interest thereon, in accordance with Section 3.05(b). Payment of that reimbursement amount will not further reduce the Note Balance of the applicable Class. With respect to any class of Subordinate Group II Notes to which an Applied Loss Amount has been allocated (including any class for which the related Note Balance has been reduced to zero), the Note Balance of that Class will be increased up to the amount of the related Recoveries for that Payment Date, beginning with the class of Subordinate Group II Notes with the highest relative payment priority, up to the amount of Applied Loss Amount previously allocated to reduce the related Note Balance.

Section 3.29.

Additional Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans 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. The Mortgage Loans constitute “instruments” or “accounts” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. All original executed copies of each Mortgage Note (or a “lost note affidavit” in lieu thereof) that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer. None of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the discharge of this Indenture.

Without the consent of the Issuer, the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee, the Depository may not transfer any Offered Note except to a successor Xxxxxxxxxx that agrees to hold such Offered Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

In the event that The Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as Depository, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer and the Enhancer, may appoint a successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30 days after the effective date of the predecessor Depository’s resignation or removal, each Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Offered Notes it beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.

The Owner Trustee (not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee), shall, on original issue, execute the Offered Notes on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes to or upon the order of the Issuer.

(b)

On each Payment Date, the aggregate Variable Funding Balance of the Variable Funding Notes shall be increased by an amount equal to the applicable Additional Balance Differential for such Payment Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The aggregate Variable Funding Balance of each class of Variable Funding Notes in the aggregate, including the Capped Funding Balance of the Capped Funding Notes, shall not exceed the applicable Maximum Variable Funding Balance.

(c)

The Variable Funding Notes issued on the Closing Date shall bear the Designation “VFNI-1”, and each Variable Funding Note issued thereafter shall bear sequential numerical designations in the order of their issuance.

(d)

Subject to the following conditions, the Variable Funding Notes may be exchanged pursuant to Section 4.02 for one or more Capped Funding Notes. Prior to any such exchange, the party requesting the exchange must provide an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Issuer, the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that the Capped Funding Notes shall qualify for federal income tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer and neither the Issuer nor any portion thereof will be characterized as a taxable mortgage pool within the meaning of Section 7701(i) of the Code. Upon receipt of the Opinion of Counsel, the Indenture Trustee shall issue Capped Funding Notes with a Capped Funding Balance equal to the Capped Funding Balance permitted under such Opinion of Counsel, in minimum denominations as set forth in paragraph (a) above. The Capped Funding Notes shall bear the designation “Capped” in addition to any other applicable designation. The Capped Funding Notes shall be issued concurrently with a reduction in the aggregate related Variable Funding Balance. Any Variable Funding Balance not represented by a Capped Funding Note shall result in the issuance of a new Variable Funding Note having an initial Variable Funding Balance equal to the excess of the outstanding Variable Funding Balance of the Variable Funding Note so surrendered over the initial Capped Funding Balances of the Capped Funding Notes. The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer agree to cooperate with each other, the party requesting the exchange of Variable Funding Notes for Capped Funding Notes and the Depositor, the Seller and the Owner Trustee, and to cause no unreasonable delay in issuing Capped Funding Notes in connection with this Section.

Section 4.02.

Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Appointment of Certificate Registrar. The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided.

Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests.

No Variable Funding Note, other than any Capped Funding Note, may be transferred. Subject to the provisions set forth below, Capped Funding Notes may be transferred; provided, that with respect to the initial transfer thereof by the Seller, prior written notification of such transfer shall have been given to each Rating Agency and the Enhancer by the Seller.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Capped Funding Note shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws, or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall require the transferee to execute either (i) an investment letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (or in such form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer), which investment letters shall not be an expense of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor, and which investment letter shall state that, among other things, such transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or for the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A or (ii) a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act and such state laws or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act and such state laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor, and the Indenture Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, and the transferor shall execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee certifying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer. The Holder of a Capped Funding Note desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal or state laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction of transfer specified in this paragraph is not applicable to any Capped Funding Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act.

At any time that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller owns beneficial interests in any Notes, prior to effectively transferring its beneficial ownership interest in a Note, the Seller must deliver to the Indenture Trustee either (1) a certificate to the effect that the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans (excluding Additional Balances) that had a combined loan to value ratio (computed in the “taxable mortgage pool” method) as of the Cut-Off Date of at least 125% and the denominator of which is the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, is greater than or equal to 55% or (2) a tax opinion from nationally recognized counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Notes would not have a material adverse consequence to the Trust or the Noteholders.

Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the related Noteholders, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and Class, in each case, in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar. With respect to any surrender of Capped Funding Notes for exchange, the new Capped Funding Notes delivered in exchange therefore shall bear the designation “Capped” in addition to any other applicable designation. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Indenture Trustee shall execute, and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Noteholder making such exchange is entitled to receive. Each Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company. Notes delivered upon any such transfer or exchange shall evidence the same obligations, and shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Notes surrendered.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Notes, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be cancelled by the Note Registrar and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for subsequent destruction without liability on the part of either.

The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Certificate Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Trust Agreement. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 4.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, with respect to a Group I Note, the Enhancer such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and, if applicable, the Enhancer harmless; then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall be, or within seven days shall be, due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of a 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 which it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from the Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Enhancer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

Each 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 such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone each such replacement Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 4.04.

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

Section 4.05.

Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly cancel all Notes so delivered. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time of cancellation thereof, unless the Issuer directs by Issuer Request that the same be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Request shall be timely and such Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.06.

Book-Entry Notes. The Offered Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten notes representing Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Offered Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the related Offered Note, except as provided in Section 4.08. Unless and until definitive, fully-registered Offered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:

(a)

the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b)

the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Offered Notes, and shall have no obligation to Beneficial Owners;

(c)

to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d)

the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depository, and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the related Beneficial Owners and the Depository or the Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository shall make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Offered Notes to such Depository Participants; and

(e)

whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes representing a specified percentage of the aggregate Note Balance, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners or Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage, and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.07.

Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Offered Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Offered Noteholders to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to any Beneficial Owner.

Section 4.08.

Definitive Notes. If (i) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Offered Notes and the Indenture Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Indenture Trustee elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners representing at least a majority of the aggregate Offered Note Balance advise the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify all Beneficial Owners, the Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Offered Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Offered Noteholders.

Section 4.09.

Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer.

The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Holder of a Note, by its acceptance of such Note (and each Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an interest in such Note), agrees to treat such Note for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

and the Issuer, in the case of (I) or (II) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Indenture Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America that will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable, in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes then outstanding and not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation when due on the last Legal Final Payment Date and all amounts due to the Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement;

(ii)

the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01 and stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. If such Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made in connection with clause (i)(A)(2) above, such opinion shall further be to the effect that such deposit will not have any material adverse tax consequences to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders.

Section 4.12.

Application of Trust Money. All monies deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.11 shall be held in trust and applied by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture to the payment, either directly or through the Paying Agent or the Certificate Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the Securityholders of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest and to the Enhancer all amounts due to the Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement; provided, that such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or required by law.

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all monies then held by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 3.05, and thereupon the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

Section 4.15.

Temporary Offered Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon its written direction, the Indenture Trustee may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Offered Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Offered Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Term Notes.

If temporary Offered Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the Definitive Notes, the temporary Offered Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Offered Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee, without charge to the related Offered Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Offered Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange therefor, Definitive Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Offered Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 4.16.

Subrogation and Cooperation.

(a)

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge and each Group I Noteholder by the acceptance of its Note agrees that (i) to the extent the Enhancer makes payments under the Policy on account of principal of or interest on the Group I Notes, the Enhancer will be fully subrogated to the rights of the Group I Noteholders to receive such principal and interest, and (ii) the Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the Enhancer’s rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance Agreement, consistent with this Indenture and without limiting the rights of the Group I Noteholders as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, including upon the occurrence and continuance of a default under the Insurance Agreement, a request (which request shall be in writing) to take or cause to be taken any one or more of the following actions (subject to Article VI hereof):

(iv)

institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture; and

(v)

Following the payment in full of the Group I Notes, the Enhancer shall continue to have all rights and privileges provided to it under this Section and in all other provisions of this Indenture, until all amounts owing to the Enhancer have been paid in full and all obligations of the Enhancer under the Policy have terminated. Thereafter, all rights of the Enhancer under this Agreement shall terminate in their entirety.

Section 4.17.

Enhancer’s Rights Regarding Actions, Proceedings or Investigations. Until all Group I Notes have been paid in full, all amounts owed to the Enhancer have been paid in full, the Indenture has terminated and the Policy has been returned to the Enhancer for cancellation, the following provisions shall apply exclusively to the Group I Notes and the portion of the Trust and the Trust Estate attributable to Group I:

(a)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Enhancer shall have the right to participate in, to direct the enforcement or defense of, and, at the Enhancer’s sole option, to institute or assume the defense of, any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Trust, the Trust Estate relating to Group I or the rights or obligations of the Enhancer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Master Servicer, the Trust or any affiliate thereof. Following notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer shall have exclusive right to determine, in its sole discretion, the actions necessary to preserve and protect the Trust or the Trust Estate relating to Group I. All costs and expenses of the Enhancer in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation, including (without limitation) any judgment or settlement entered into affecting the Enhancer or the Enhancer’s interests, shall be included in the reimbursement amounts due to the Enhancer under Section 3.05(a)(viii) of this Agreement

(b)

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

(c)

To the extent the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of such event, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Enhancer prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation that names the Trust, the Trust Estate relating to Group I or the Indenture Trustee as a party or that could adversely affect the Trust, the Trust Estate relating to Group I or the rights or obligations of the Enhancer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trust or any affiliate thereof.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Related Documents to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Enhancer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Enhancer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Trust, the Trust Estate relating to Group I or the rights or obligations of the Enhancer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 5.01.

Notification of Certain Events of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer, within five days after learning of the occurrence of any event that with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under paragraph (c) of the definition of “Event of Default”, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the status thereof and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.02.

Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Group I Notes or if the Master Servicer shall purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in Group I pursuant to Section 8.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then in every such case the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Enhancer, or the Holders of Group I Notes representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Group I Notes (with the written consent of the Enhancer), may (or shall, in the case of a purchase by the Master Servicer under Section 8.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) declare the Group I Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Group I Noteholders) (with a copy to the Enhancer); and upon any such declaration, the unpaid Note Balance of the Group I Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity with respect to an Event of Default has been made with respect to the Group I Notes and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Enhancer or the Holders of Group I Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes (with the written consent of the Enhancer) that caused the acceleration of the Group I Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may in writing waive such Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(i)

all payments of principal of and interest on the Group I Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Group I Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(ii)

all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(iii)

all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of the Group I Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Group II Notes or if the Master Servicer shall purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in Group II pursuant to Section 8.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then in every such case the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the Group II Notes, may (or shall, in the case of a purchase by the Master Servicer under Section 8.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) declare the Group II Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Group II Noteholders); and upon any such declaration, the unpaid Note Balance of the Group II Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration of maturity with respect to an Event of Default has been made with respect to the Group II Notes and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may in writing waive such Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(i)

all payments of principal of and interest on the Group II Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Group II Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(ii)

all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(iii)

all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal of the Group II Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.03.

Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a)

The Issuer covenants that if a default occurs in the payment of (i) interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five (5) days, or (ii) principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable; then, in each case the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the entire amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal at the applicable Note Rate. In addition thereto, the foregoing shall include such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b)

As to the Group I Notes, in case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16, may, and at the direction of the Enhancer or of the Holders of Group I Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes (with the consent of the Enhancer), shall, institute Proceedings for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor on the Group I Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or such other obligor on the Group I Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c)

As to the Group II Notes, in case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16, may, and at the direction of the Holders of Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes shall, institute Proceedings for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor on the Group II Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or such other obligor on the Group II Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(e)

In case there shall be pending, relating to the Issuer, any other obligor on the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relating to the Issuer or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as expressed in such Notes or by declaration or otherwise, and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i)

to file and prove a claim for the entire amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each such predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) and the Noteholders allowed in the related Proceeding;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by the Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each such predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(f)

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to permit the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of any claim of a Noteholder in any such Proceeding, except to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person as provided above.

(g)

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or in respect of the Notes may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto.

In any Proceeding brought by the Indenture Trustee (including any Proceeding involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceeding.

Section 5.04.

Remedies; Priorities.

(a)

As to the Group I Notes, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 and Section 5.05, with the written consent of the Enhancer, may, or, shall, at the direction of the Enhancer or Group I Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes (with the written consent of the Enhancer), do one or more of the following:

(i)

institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Group I Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment thereby obtained and collect from the Issuer or any other obligor on the Group I Notes any monies thereby adjudged due;

(ii)

institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I;

(iii)

exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Group I Noteholders; and

(iv)

sell the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I or any smaller portion thereof or any right or interest therein at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Enhancer directs the Indenture Trustee to liquidate such portion of the Trust Estate or the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Enhancer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Holders of Group I Notes representing 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Group I Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid on the Group I Notes for principal and interest and to reimburse the Enhancer for any amounts drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due the Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Group I Notes as the same would have become due if the Group I Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Enhancer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Holders of Group I Notes representing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as a Servicing Default shall not have occurred, any Sale of the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any sale of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), the Indenture Trustee shall, for so long as any principal or accrued interest on the Notes remains unpaid, continue to act as Indenture Trustee hereunder and to draw amounts payable under the Policy in accordance with the terms of the Policy.

(b)

As to the Group II Notes, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 and Section 5.05, may, or, shall, at the direction of the Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes, do one or more of the following:

(i)

institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Group II Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment thereby obtained and collect from the Issuer or any other obligor on the Group II Notes any monies thereby adjudged due;

(ii)

institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II;

(iii)

exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Group II Noteholders; and

(iv)

sell the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II or any smaller portion thereof or any right or interest therein at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of Group II Notes representing 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Group II Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid on the Group II Notes for principal and interest, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group II will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Group II Notes as the same would have become due if the Group II Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of Group II Notes representing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation addressed to the Indenture Trustee as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as a Servicing Default shall not have occurred, any Sale of the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(c)

As to the Group I Notes, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article (or in any case following an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Group I Notes), it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

(i)

To the Holders of the Certificates any prepayment charges on the Group I Mortgage Loans;

to the payment of all amounts due and owing the Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement; and

(vii)

to the Indenture Trustee any remaining amounts for distribution to the Holders of Certificates.

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

(d)

As to the Group II Notes, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article (or in any case following an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Group II Notes), it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

(i)

To the Holders of the Certificates any prepayment charges on the Group II Mortgage Loans;

(v)

to the Class IIM-1 Noteholders, for amounts due and unpaid on the Class IIM-1 Notes in respect of interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts then due and payable;

At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Group II Noteholder a notice that states such record date, and payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05.

Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If either the Group I Notes or Group II Notes have been declared due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not (but shall at the written direction of the Enhancer in the case of the Group I Notes), elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. As to the Group I Notes, it is the desire of the Issuer and the Group I Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Group I Notes and other obligations of the Issuer including payment to the Enhancer. As to the Group II Notes, it is the desire of the Issuer and the Group II Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Group II Notes and other obligations of the Issuer. In determining whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation addressed to the Indenture Trustee and, in the case of Group I, the Enhancer as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

Section 5.06.

Limitation of Suits. No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceeding with respect to this Indenture, for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (subject to the provisions of Section 10.16):

(a)

such Noteholder shall have previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)

the Holders of Notes representing not less than 25% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes or Group II Notes, as applicable, shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(c)

such Noteholders shall have offered the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in complying with such request;

(d)

the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute such Proceedings;

(e)

no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes or Group II Notes, as applicable, or, in the case of the Group I Notes, by the Enhancer; and

(f)

in the case of the Group I Notes, the Enhancer has given its prior written consent.

No Noteholder shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholder, to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, in each case except in the manner herein provided.

In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes or Group II Notes, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture.

Section 5.07.

Unconditional Right of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the interest and principal, if any, due on such Noteholder’s Notes on or after the due date expressed in such Notes or in this Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Such right shall not be impaired without the consent of the related Noteholder.

Section 5.08.

Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.09.

Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.10.

Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11.

Control by Enhancer or Noteholders. (a) The Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists and is continuing) or the Holders of Group I Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes, with the consent of the Enhancer (unless this Indenture provides that the Holders of the Group I Notes may direct such action), shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Group I Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(i)

such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii)

subject to Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the portion of the Trust Estate relating to Group I shall be given by the Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists and is continuing) or by the Holders of Group I Notes representing 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes with the consent of the Enhancer;

(iii)

if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Group I Notes representing less than 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes to sell or liquidate the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I shall be of no force or effect; and

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of the Noteholders and the Enhancer as set forth in this Subsection, and subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might subject it to liability or might materially and adversely affect the rights of any Group I Noteholders not consenting thereto unless the Indenture Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it from the Enhancer or a Group I Noteholder.

(b)

The Holders of Group II Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Group II Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(i)

such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii)

subject to Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate with respect to Group II shall be given by the Holders of Group II Notes representing 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes;

(iii)

if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Group II Notes representing less than 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group II Notes to sell or liquidate the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group II shall be of no force or effect; and

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of the Noteholders as set forth in this Subsection, and subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might subject it to liability or might materially and adversely affect the rights of any Group II Noteholders not consenting thereto unless the Indenture Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it from a Group II Noteholder.

Section 5.12.

Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of either the Group I Notes or the Group II Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Enhancer (with respect to the Group I Notes only and so long as no Enhancer Default exists and is continuing) or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Group I Notes or the Group II Notes, as applicable, (with the consent of the Enhancer in the case of the Group I Notes) that caused the acceleration of such Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences, except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on such Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Noteholders or each Noteholder affected thereby. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Enhancer (in the case of the Group I Notes), the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder; provided, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

Section 5.13.

Undertaking for Costs. The parties hereto agree, and each Noteholder, by such Noteholder’s acceptance of a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Proceeding instituted by (i) the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding Notes representing in the aggregate more than 10% of the aggregate Note Balance (or in the case of a right or remedy under this Indenture which is instituted by the Group I Notes, the Senior Group II Notes or the Subordinate Group II Notes, more than 10% of the Note Balance of the Group I Notes, the Senior Group II Notes or the Subordinate Group II Notes, as the case may be) or (iii) any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

Section 5.14.

Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, 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 each such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.15.

Sale of Trust Estate.

(a)

The power to effect any sale or other disposition (each, a “Sale”) of any portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I or Group II, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 and this Section. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold. The power to effect any such Sale shall continue unimpaired until the entire portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I or Group II, as applicable, has been sold or all amounts payable on the related Class or Classes of Notes under this Indenture have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

(b)

The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the portion of the Trust Estate attributable to Group I or Group II, as applicable, or any smaller portion thereof, unless:

(i)

the Noteholders of all affected Notes and the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I) direct the Indenture Trustee to make such Sale;

(ii)

the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount that would be payable to the affected Securityholders and the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I) in respect of amounts drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due the Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale; or

(iii)

the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (and in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05), and the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I) consents to such Sale (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and Holders of Notes representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the affected Notes consent to such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for purposes of this paragraph.

(c)

Unless the Noteholders and the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I) have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in clause (ii) of paragraph (b) of this Section has not been established by the Indenture Trustee, and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount at least $1.00 greater than the highest other bid.

(d)

In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:

(i)

any Noteholder may bid for and, with the consent of the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I), purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such property without further accountability; and may, in paying the purchase price therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such Sale, payable thereon. Such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

(ii)

the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale, may, subject to any requirements of and to the extent permitted by applicable law in connection therewith, purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private Sale, and may, in lieu of paying cash therefor, make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross sale price against the sum of (A) the amount that would be distributable to the Securityholders and amounts owing to the Enhancer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I) as a result of such Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of such Sale and of any Proceeding in connection therewith that are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net sale price to be credited against such Notes; and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(iii)

In case at such time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases, such certificates shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

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

(b)

The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as (i) there are no Group I Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer pursuant to this Indenture have been paid, release the portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Group I Notes from the lien of this Indenture; and (ii) there are no Group II Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture have been paid, release the portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Group II 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 and, in the case of the Group I Notes only, a letter from the Enhancer stating that the Enhancer has no objection to such request from the Issuer.

(d)

In the case of the Group I Notes only, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer or the Depositor, surrender the Policy to the Enhancer for cancellation, upon final payment of principal of and interest (excluding any Interest Carry-Forward Amount) on the Group I Notes.

Section 8.06.

Surrender of Notes Upon Final Payment. By acceptance of any Note, the Holder thereof agrees to surrender such Note to the Indenture Trustee promptly, prior to such Noteholder’s receipt of the final payment thereon.

ARTICLE IX

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

Section 9.01.

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

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(d)

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

(e)

to cure any ambiguity or mistake, to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental indenture;

(f)

to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture; provided, that such action shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Enhancer (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer);

(g)

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

(h)

to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA;

provided, however, that no such supplemental indentures shall be entered into unless the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer shall have received (1) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that entering into such supplemental indenture will not (i) cause the Issuer, or any portion thereof, to be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for federal income tax purposes or (ii) have any material adverse tax consequence to the Noteholders or (2) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such Supplemental Indenture will not result in a Rating Event.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

Section 9.02.

Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request, may, with prior written notice to each Rating Agency and with the consent of the Enhancer (in the case of the Group I Notes) and the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of (i) the Group I Notes if any Group I Notes are the only Notes affected thereby, (ii) the Senior Group II Notes if any Senior Group II Notes are the only Notes affected thereby, (iii) the Subordinate Group II Notes if any Subordinate Group II Notes are the only Notes affected thereby and (iv) all Notes, if the Group I Notes, the Senior Group II Notes and the Subordinate Group II Notes, are all affected thereby, by Act of such Noteholders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provision to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders under this Indenture; provided, that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:

(a)

change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, reduce the principal balance thereof or the interest rate thereon, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on or the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, 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 the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof;

(b)

reduce the percentage of the Note Balances or Percentage Interest of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(c)

modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term “Outstanding” or modify or alter the exception in the definition of the term “Holder”;

(d)

reduce the percentage of the aggregate Note Balance or the Percentage Interest with respect to which the consent of the Holders of Notes representing such Note Balance is required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04;

(e)

modify any provision of this Section except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the other Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby;

(f)

modify any provision of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation); or

(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 Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the Lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the Lien of this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture, and any such determination shall be conclusive upon all Noteholders, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of 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.

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

No supplemental indentures may be entered into under this Section 9.02 unless the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture will not (i) cause the Issuer, or any portion thereof, to be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for federal income tax purposes or (ii) have any material adverse tax consequence to the Noteholders.

Section 9.03.

Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing or permitting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, 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. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.04.

Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby; and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 9.05.

Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Each amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect for so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

Section 9.06.

Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. 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.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01.

Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

(a)

Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and to the Enhancer (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;

(iv)

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

(v)

if the signer of such certificate or opinion is required to be Independent, the statement required by the definition of the term “Independent”.

(b)

Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made as the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 10.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

(c)

Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in paragraph (b) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made as the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) above and this paragraph, is 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the aggregate Note Balance.

(d)

Whenever any property or securities are to be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee and, if the property or security to be released secures the Group I Notes, the Enhancer an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

(e)

Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in paragraph (d) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, other than property as contemplated by paragraph (f) below or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by paragraph (d) above and this paragraph equals 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the aggregate Note Balance.

(f)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of this Section, (i) collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the Mortgage Loans as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents or (ii) make cash payments out of the Trustee Collection Account as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer every six months, commencing December 31, 2004, an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of Collateral described in clauses (i) or (ii) above that occurred during the preceding six calendar months were in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

Section 10.02.

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

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

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

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

Section 10.03.

Acts of Noteholders.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

The Note Register shall prove ownership of Notes.

(d)

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

Section 10.04.

Notices. Notices required to be given hereunder shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 8.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 10.05.

Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, any Person entitled to receive such notice may waive such notice in writing, 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 waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to each Rating Agency, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.

Section 10.06.

Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any other provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded hereby) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

Section 10.07.

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

Section 10.08.

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

Section 10.09.

Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture, and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders.

Section 10.10.

Benefits of Indenture. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, (i) the rights and benefits of the Enhancer in this Indenture (including Appendix A hereto) or in the Notes relate only to the Group I Notes and the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I and (ii) all provisions in this Indenture (including Appendix A hereto) or in the Notes referring to the consent or approval of the Enhancer or actions with respect to the Enhancer shall apply and be implemented only to the extent that such consent, approval or actions affect or concern the Group I Notes (or the Enhancer’s obligations in respect thereof) or the Mortgage Loans assigned to Group I and no Enhancer Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary, all rights and benefits of the Enhancer in this Indenture, including Appendix A hereto, or in the Notes (including but not limited to consent rights, rights to notices and rights with respect to opinions) shall terminate upon the later of (a) the payment in full of the Group I Notes and the payment to the Enhancer of any unpaid amounts owed to it under the Insurance Agreement with interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate as specified in the Insurance Agreement and (b) the termination of all of the Enhancer’s obligations under the Policy.

Section 10.11.

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

Section 10.12.

Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 10.13.

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

Section 10.14.

Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 10.15.

Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their respective 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. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

Section 10.16.

No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligation relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.

Section 10.17.

Rights to the Enhancer to Exercise Rights of Group I Noteholders. By accepting its Group I Note, each Group I Noteholder agrees that unless an Enhancer Default exists and is continuing, the Enhancer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Group I Noteholders as specified under the Basic Document without any further consent of the Group I Noteholders. Any rights conferred to the Enhancer hereunder shall be suspended and shall run to the benefit of the Group I Noteholders during any period in which there exists an Enhancer Default, provided, however, that during an Enhancer Default, the consent of the Enhancer must be obtained with respect to any amendments that may materially adversely affect the Enhancer.

Section 10.18.

Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior written notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Enhancer, 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. The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing), and except to the extent the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

Xxxxx Home Equity Loan Trust 2004-1, a statutory trust duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Xxxxx Union Bank and Trust Company or its registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (or otherwise owing hereunder as determined pursuant to the Indenture), payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the pro rata portion allocable hereto (based on the Variable Funding Balances of all Group I Variable Funding Notes immediately prior to such Payment Date) of the aggregate amount, if any, payable in respect of principal of the Group I Variable Funding Notes pursuant to Section 3.05 of the indenture dated as of July 31, 2004 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Capped Variable Funding Note shall be due and payable on the [ ] Payment Date to the extent not previously paid on a prior Payment Date. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture.

Interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note will be paid monthly on each Payment Date at the Note Rate for the related Interest Period subject to limitations that may result in Interest Carry-Forward Amounts (as further described in the Indenture). Interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment Date on which interest has been paid (in the case of the first Payment Date, from the Closing Date) to but excluding such Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Interest Period and 360-day year.

Principal of and interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note will be payable on the related Payment Date as described in the Indenture. “Payment Date” means the 25th day of each month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Payments of interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Capped Variable Funding Note, shall be made by check mailed, or wire transfer delivered, to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Capped Variable Funding Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Capped Variable Funding Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Capped Variable Funding Note and of any Variable Funding Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Capped Variable Funding Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Capped Variable Funding Note at the address specified in such notice of final payment.

Principal of and interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note will be payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Capped Variable Funding Note will generally be applied first to interest due and payable on this Capped Variable Funding Note and then to the unpaid principal of this Capped Variable Funding Note.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Capped Variable Funding Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Capped Variable Funding Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Capped Variable Funding Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF CAPPED VARIABLE FUNDING NOTE

This Capped Variable Funding Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Variable Funding Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Home Equity Loan-Backed Group I Variable Funding Notes, Series 2004-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Variable Funding Notes. The Variable Funding Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Capped Variable Funding Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Capped Variable Funding Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, duly endorsed by, and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Variable Funding Notes in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Capped Variable Funding Note, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of this Capped Variable Funding Note.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Capped Variable Funding Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Variable Funding Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer. Each Holder of a Variable Funding Note, by its acceptance of a Variable Funding Note, agrees to treat the Variable Funding Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Capped Variable Funding Note, the Issuer, the Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in the name of which this Capped Variable Funding Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Capped Variable Funding Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Variable Funding Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer and the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes affected thereby, and with prior written notice to each Rating Agency. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists) or the Holders of Notes representing specified aggregate Note Balances with the consent of the Enhancer, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Capped Variable Funding Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Capped Variable Funding Note and of any Variable Funding Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Capped Variable Funding Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders but with prior written notice to each Rating Agency and the prior written consent of the Enhancer, unless an Enhancer Default shall have occurred.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Capped Variable Funding Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Variable Funding Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Capped Variable Funding Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Capped Variable Funding Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company or U.S. Bank National Association in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Capped Variable Funding Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Capped Variable Funding Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, such Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Capped Variable Funding Note.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Capped Variable Funding Note to be duly executed.
