(ix) Upon written direction, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Notes and Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.

(x) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(xi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.6, the typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes for any Series may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for such Series, or to a successor Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for such Series selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, only if in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(xii) If the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be, shall send to the Issuer upon any transfer or exchange of any Note information reflected in the copy of the register for the Notes maintained by the Registrar or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be.

(xiii) By its acceptance of a Note, each Noteholder and Note Owner shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975 of the Code, an entity deemed to hold the assets of any such plan or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code) subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) its purchase and holding of the Note will not, throughout the term of its holding an interest therein, constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan or a non-electing church plan (as described above), any substantially similar applicable law).

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the Series Supplement relating to such Notes) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such related Series Supplement are satisfied.

Section 2.7. Appointment of Paying Agent.

(a) The Paying Agent shall make payments to the Secured Parties from the amounts delivered to the Paying Agent by the Trustee from the appropriate account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Secured Parties as specified in this Base Indenture or the related Series Supplement for any Series pursuant to Articles 5 and 6. The Required Noteholders may remove the Paying Agent if the Required Noteholders determine that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect or for other

good cause. The Paying Agent, unless the Series Supplement with respect to any Series states otherwise, shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Servicer, the Issuer and the Notice Persons. In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).

If specified in the related Series Supplement for any Series, so long as the Notes of such Series are outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain a co-paying agent in the city of the Corporate Trust Office or any other city designated in such Series Supplement. Any reference in this Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. For so long as any Bearer Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent and a Transfer Agent and Registrar outside the United States (as defined in Section 2.6(c)).

Section 2.8. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

(a) The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Issuer Obligations in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii) give the Trustee and each Notice Person written notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor under the Issuer Obligations) of which it (or, in the case of the Trustee, a Trust Officer) has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Issuer Obligations if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Issuer Obligations of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

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

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Clearing Agency in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Issuer Obligation and remaining unclaimed for two years 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 Issuer Obligation 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 Trustee, such Paying Agent or such Clearing Agency with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, such Paying Agent or such Clearing Agency, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City and, if the related Series of Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and if the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires, in a newspaper customarily published on each Luxembourg business day and of general circulation in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, 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 Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 2.9. Private Placement Legend.

Unless otherwise provided for in a Series Supplement, in addition to any legend required by Section 2.16, each Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

TRANSACTION OTHERWISE EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER AND THE TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR SO REQUEST, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INDENTURE AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY TRANSFEREE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE.

Section 2.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note (together, in the case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee harmless then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC (which generally permit the Issuer to impose reasonable requirements) are met then, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and aggregate principal balance; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof.

If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser for value of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser for value, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.10, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith.

(c) Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of contractual debt obligation of the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be found at any time.

(d) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional Contractual Obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may request and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes of such Series. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes of like Series but may have variations that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(b) If temporary Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 8.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and at the Issuer’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.12. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Note for registration of transfer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat a Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of any date of determination) as the owner of the related 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 be overdue, and none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that in determining whether the requisite number of Holders of Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder (including under any Series Supplement), Notes owned by any of the Issuer, any Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof Controlled by or Controlling CFA shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Trust Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.

In the case of a Bearer Note, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the holder of a Bearer Note or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Note or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.13. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Trustee. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

Section 2.14. Release of Trust Estate. The Trustee shall, in connection with any removal of Removed Receivables from the Trust Estate, release (and execute any documents reasonably requested by CFA or the Issuer which are necessary or appropriate to evidence the release, all at the expense of CFA) the portion of the Trust Estate securing the Removed Receivables from the lien created by this Indenture following receipt by each of the Trustee and each Notice Person of a Cofina Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Deemed Collections with respect thereto have been deposited in full into the Collection Account; provided, however, that no Receivables shall be released from the Trust Estate following the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event without the prior written consent of the Required Persons for each Series.

Section 2.15. Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The principal of each Series of Notes shall be payable at the times and in the amounts set forth in the related Series Supplement and in accordance with Section 8.1.

(b) Each Series of Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the related Series Supplement and such interest shall be payable at the times and in the amounts set forth in the related Series Supplement and in accordance with Section 8.1.

(c) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Settlement Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to a Settlement Date for such Note and such Person shall be entitled to receive the principal and interest payable on such Settlement Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any registration of transfer, exchange or substitution of such Note subsequent to such Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date or, if the related investor has provided the

Trustee wiring instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Settlement Date, then by wire or electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Holder of such Note, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.18, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire or electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Settlement Date or on the Legal Final Settlement Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 15.1) which shall be payable as provided herein; except that, any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 2.8.

Section 2.16. Book-Entry Notes.

(a) If provided in the related Series Supplement, the Notes of such Series, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Series Supplement (the “Depository”), which shall be the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of such Series. The Notes of each Series issued as Book-Entry Notes shall, unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency. Unless otherwise provided in a related Series Supplement, no Note Owner of Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes will receive a definitive note representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Series of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.18.

(b) For each Series of Notes to be issued in registered form, the Issuer shall duly execute, and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof, authenticate and deliver initially, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, one or more Global Notes that shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of a Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or such Clearing Agency’s or Foreign Clearing Agency’s nominee. Each Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION, TO COFINA FUNDING, LLC OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. (“CEDE”) OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

So long as the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of a Global Note, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or

its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for purposes of this Indenture and such Notes. Members of, or participants in, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of such entities as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of such entities from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or impair, as between the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and its agent members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Note.

(c) Subject to Section 2.6(a)(xi), the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and such procedures governing the use of such Clearing Agencies as may be enacted from time to time shall be applicable to a Global Note insofar as interests in such Global Note are held by the agent members of Euroclear or Clearstream (which shall only occur in the case of a temporary Regulation S Global Note and a permanent Regulation S Global Note). Account holders or participants in Euroclear and Clearstream shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Note and the registered holder may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

(d) Title to the Notes shall pass only by registration in the Note Register maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar pursuant to Section 2.6.

(e) Any typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes shall provide that they represent the aggregate or a specified amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Note Owners represented thereby, shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Issuer Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.4(b). The Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Issuer Order. Any instructions by the Issuer with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.3 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

(f) Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes of any Series or any Class thereof (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners with respect to any Series of Notes initially issued as Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.18 or the applicable Series Supplement:

(i) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series;

(ii) the Issuer, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes of this Indenture (including the making of payments on the Notes of each such Series and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the authorized representatives of such Note Owners;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.16 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall control;

(iv) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of such Series of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the outstanding principal amount of such Series of Notes, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, as applicable, shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in such Series of Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee;

(v) the rights of Note Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and their related Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the related Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.18, the applicable Clearing Agencies or Foreign Clearing Agencies will make book-entry transfers among their related Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal and interest on such Series of Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders of the relevant Series generally pursuant to the Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payments of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

Section 2.17. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.18 or the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for distribution to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 2.18. Definitive Notes.

(a) Conditions for Exchange. If with respect to any Series of Book-Entry Notes (i) (A) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement and (B) the Issuer is not able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of Notes or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners of a Series representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% (or such other percentage specified in a related Series Supplement) of the portion of outstanding principal amount of the Notes represented by such Series advise the Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners of such Series, the Trustee shall notify all Note Owners of such Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners of such Series requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes of such Series by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Notes of such Series. Neither the Issuer nor the 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 of such Series and upon the issuance of any Series of Notes or any Class thereof in definitive form in accordance with the related Series Supplement, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series or Classes as Noteholders of such Series or Classes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, Definitive Notes shall not be issued in respect of any Series Temporary Regulation S Global Note unless the applicable Restricted Period has expired and then only upon receipt by the Trustee from the Holder thereof of any certifications required by the relevant Series Supplement.

(b) Transfer of Definitive Notes. Subject to the terms of this Indenture (including the requirements of any relevant Series Supplement), the holder of any Definitive Note may transfer the same in whole or in part, in an amount equivalent to an authorized denomination, by surrendering at the office maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar for such purpose in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, such Note with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar by, the holder thereof and, if applicable, accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form required under the related Series Supplement. In exchange for any Definitive Note properly presented for transfer, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, Definitive Notes for the same aggregate principal amount as was transferred. In the case of the transfer of any Definitive Note in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to

the transferor at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, Definitive Notes for the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred. No transfer of any Definitive Note shall be made unless the request for such transfer is made by the Holder at such office. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of transfer instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes for such Series, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders of such Series.

Section 2.19. Global Note; Euro-Note Exchange Date. If specified in the related Series Supplement for any Series, (i) the Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary global note (the “Global Note”) in registered or bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes and (ii) a Class of Notes may be issued in the form of a single temporary global note in registered or bearer form, in the denomination of the portion of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by such Class, each substantially in the form attached to the related Series Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall apply to such Global Note. The Global Note will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Notes. The Global Note may be exchanged in the manner described in the related Series Supplement for Registered Notes or Bearer Notes in definitive form.

Section 2.20. Tax Treatment. (a) The Issuer has structured this Indenture and any Collateral Interest, and the Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that, the Notes and any Collateral Interest will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any (i) Note by acceptance of its Notes (or, in the case of a Note Owner, by virtue of such Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Notes (or beneficial interests therein) or (ii) Collateral Interest or any interest therein agrees to treat the Collateral Interest or any interest therein, for purposes of Federal, state and local and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness. Each Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Note through it and each owner of any Collateral Interest or any interest therein agrees that it will cause any Person acquiring any such interest to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as indebtedness for such tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer and the Trustee hereby agree that, notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, any and all Persons, and any of their respective employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose, immediately upon commencement of discussions, to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax,” “tax treatment,” “tax structure,” and “tax benefit” are defined under treasury regulation §1.6011-4(c).

(A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes or under any Transaction Document if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(B) all sums paid by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 11.6.

Section 11.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the Trustee may, with the consent of the Required Noteholders, and shall, at the direction of the Required Noteholders, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

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

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Secured Parties in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

(iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Secured Parties and of the Trustee on their behalf; and

(d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

(e) All rights of action, and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or

proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the Secured Parties.

Section 11.4. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may and shall, at the direction of the Required Noteholders, do one or more of the following:

(a) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable under the Transaction Documents, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor under the Transaction Documents moneys adjudged due;

(b) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

(c) subject to the limitations set forth in clause (d) below, 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 Trustee and the Secured Parties; and

(d) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless:

(i) the Holders of 100% of all of the outstanding Notes and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the Enhancement Providers of each Series of all outstanding Series consent thereto,

(ii) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and Enhancement Providers of each Series are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid with respect to all outstanding Notes and to the Enhancement Providers of all outstanding Series at such date for principal and interest and any other amounts due Noteholders, or

(iii) the Trustee determines that the proceeds of the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding Notes of all outstanding Series as such amounts would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Trustee obtains the consent of the Required Noteholders.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (d)(ii) and (d)(iii), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Receivables in the Trust Estate for such purpose.

The Trustee may maintain a Proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the Proceeding, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 11.5. [Reserved].

Section 11.6. Waiver of Past Events. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 11.2(a), the Required Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) of or interest on any of the Notes. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

Section 11.7. Limitation on Suits. No Secured Party shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Base Indenture and related Series Supplement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity pursuant to this Section 11.7 from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than the Required Noteholders, the Trustee shall, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, proceed in accordance with the request of the greater majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, as determined by reference to such requests.

Section 11.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If 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 Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the 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 Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 11.10. The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 11.11. Priorities.

Section 11.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or any Secured Party 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 11.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 11 or by law to the Trustee or to the Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Secured Parties, as the case may be.

Section 11.15. Control by Required Noteholders. The Required Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes and the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii) subject to the express terms of Section 11.4, any direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Receivables shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all the Notes of all Series; and

(iii) the Trustee may take any other action reasonably deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 12.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability for which it is not otherwise indemnified.

Section 11.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 11.17. Action on Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Secured Parties shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

Section 11.18. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Required Noteholders shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Sellers, CFA or the Servicer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Sellers, Cofina or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Transaction Documents, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE 12.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 12.1. Duties of the Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their

exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Trust Officer does not have actual knowledge or has not received written notice; and provided, further that the preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of negligence and willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture and, if applicable, the Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is a party, provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any of the aforementioned documents and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify any information or recompute any numerical information provided to it pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

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

(i) this clause does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 12.1;

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

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 11.15;

(iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of Section 2.04 of the Servicing Agreement or any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from an Enhancement Provider, the Servicer, the Issuer or any Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 10% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes of any Series adversely affected thereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

(e) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

(f) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the obligations and duties required of it under the Servicing Agreement.

(g) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture, the Trustee shall take no action to impair the value of any asset of the Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created or, after any Early Amortization Event or Default or Event of Default, reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Issuer in any asset of the Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created.

(h) Except as provided in this Section 12.1(h), the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust Estate including the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation for an asset of the Trust Estate assigned by the Issuer under the Granting Clause or (ii) release any assets from the Trust Estate, except in each case as permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, under Sections 5.9, 13.1, 13.4 hereof or pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Servicing Agreement.

(i) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(j) Without limiting the generality of this Section 12.1 and subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Issuer, (iii) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (iv) to inspect the Receivables at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Issuer’s, any Seller’s or the Servicer’s

representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Receivable files under the Transaction Documents.

(k) Subject to Section 12.1(d), in the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar (if other than the Trustee) shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(l) Subject to Section 12.4, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Transaction Documents.

(m) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage regardless of the form of action.

Section 12.2. Rights of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided by Section 12.1:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon or refraining from acting upon and in accord with, without any duty to verify the contents or recompute any calculations therein, any document (whether in its original or facsimile form), including any assignment of Receivables, the Monthly Servicer Report, the annual Servicer’s certificate, the monthly payment instructions and notification to the Trustee, the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement, any resolution, Cofina Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document, believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person. Subject to Section 12.1, the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting prior to an Early Amortization Event or Default or Event of Default, the Trustee may require a Cofina Officer’s Certificate or consult with counsel of its selection and the Cofina Officer’s Certificate or the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians and nominees and the Trustee shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent or attorneys, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence or a breach of the express terms of this Indenture.

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, any Series Supplement or any Enhancement Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders or any Enhancement Provider, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any Series Supplement, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it by the terms of this Indenture.

(f) Except as otherwise required by the Indenture or by law, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document (including, any assignment of Receivables, the Monthly Servicer Report, the annual Servicer’s certificate, the monthly payment instructions and notification to the Trustee or the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement), unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes of any Series or any Enhancement Provider, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding.

(g) The Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of Permitted Investments and shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts except as provided in this Indenture or as directed by the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the predecessor Trustee.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(j) Except as may be required by Sections 12.1(b)(ii), 12.1(i), 12.2(a) and 12.2(f), the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Trust Estate for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by any Seller or the Servicer with their respective representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

Section 12.3. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Notes. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained in this Indenture and in the Notes (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Notes). Except as set forth in Section 12.16, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Notes) or of any asset of the Trust Estate or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer or the Sellers of any of the Notes or of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Sellers or to the Issuer in respect of the Trust Estate or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any Series Account by the Servicer.

Section 12.4. Individual Rights of the Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 12.9 and 12.11.

Section 12.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default, Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or Potential Early Amortization Event occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives written notice or has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall promptly provide notice to each Notice Person (and, with respect to any Event of Default or Early Amortization Event, each Noteholder) and each Rating Agency promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after such knowledge or notice occurs, to the extent possible by telephone and facsimile, and, otherwise, by first class mail at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register.

Section 12.6. Compensation.

(a) To the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Trustee (without reimbursement from the Collection Account, any Investor Account, any Series Account or otherwise) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including legal fees and costs and costs of persons not regularly employed by the Trustee) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or breach of the express terms of this Indenture and except as provided in the following sentence.

(b) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 12.6 are subject to the Priority of Payments under Section 5.4(c) and shall survive the termination of this Base Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 12.7. Replacement of the Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 12.7.

(b) The Trustee may, after giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Issuer, each Notice Person and the Servicer, resign at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided, however, that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The Issuer may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee, each Notice Person and the Servicer. The Issuer or any Required Person may remove the Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 12.9;

(ii) a court or Federal or state bank regulatory agency having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trustee shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee’s affairs;

(iii) the Trustee consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(iv) the Trustee fails to perform its duties hereunder or becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Servicer shall, with the consent of the Required Noteholders, or the Required Noteholders may (if the Servicer fails to designate a successor Trustee acceptable to the Required Noteholders) promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning and one copy to the successor trustee.

(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring or removed Trustee and to the Issuer and each Notice Person. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture and any Series Supplement. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder (and its agents and counsel) have been paid and all documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Issuer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.7, the Trust’s obligations under Sections 12.6 and 12.17 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 12.7 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.7 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the retiring Trustee (except to the extent of amounts owed by the Trustee hereunder).

(e) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 12.7 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 12.9 hereof.

Section 12.8. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 12.9 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

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

Section 12.9. Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least Baa by Moody’s and BBB by Standard & Poor’s having, in the

case of an entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, risk-based capital of at least $200,000,000 or, in the case of an entity that is not subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 12.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

(a) In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.9, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 12.7.

Section 12.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or any Series Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 12.10 such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 12.9 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 12.7. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder. The appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of any of its obligations hereunder.

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

(i) the Notes of each Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(iii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustees, hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

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

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 12. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture and any Series Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Indenture or any Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

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

Section 12.11. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns.

(ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Indenture and any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture and any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes;

(iii) this Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee; and

(iv) the Trustee meets the requirements of eligibility as a trustee hereunder set forth in Section 12.9.

The Issuer shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee) and its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not indemnify the Trustee or its directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute negligence or willful misconduct by the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under this Section 12.13 and under the other Transaction Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and payable solely to the extent provided in Section 5.4. No obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under this Section 12.13 shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event that amounts are not paid in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.4(c). The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

Section 12.14. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer or the Servicer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. Subject to Section 12.1, the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date any Responsible Officer of the Issuer or the Servicer actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 12.15. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York an office or offices, or agency or agencies, where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

of principal thereof and interest thereon and any other amount due to Noteholders, (ii) Sections 8.3, 12.6, 12.12, 13.2, and 13.5(b), (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Trustee under Sections 12.6 and 12.13 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 13.2) and (iv) the rights of Secured Parties as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property deposited with the Trustee as described below payable to all or any of them, and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes (and their related Secured Parties), on the first Business Day after the Settlement Date with respect to any Series (the “Indenture Termination Date”) on which the Issuer has paid, caused to be paid or irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited in the applicable Settlement Account and any applicable Series Account funds in cash sufficient to pay in full all amounts owed to each Noteholder, each Enhancement Provider and all Issuer Obligations and Collateral Interests, if any, and the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, each Notice Person and any Enhancement Provider a Cofina Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 16.1 and each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

After any irrevocable deposit made pursuant to Section 13.1 and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee promptly upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

Section 13.2. Application of Issuer Money. All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, this Indenture and the related Series Supplement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest and to the payment of all amounts owed to the related Secured Parties; but such moneys need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or in the other Transaction Documents or required by law.

The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Indenture.

Section 13.3. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 8.3 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

Section 13.4. Cleanup Call.

(a) If so provided in any Series Supplement, the initial Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase the Notes of any Series on any Settlement Date on or after the

Settlement Date on which the aggregate Note Principal of such Series is less than or equal to 10% of the “Program Amount” for such Series (or such other lower amount as may be specified in a Series Supplement for such Series). Such purchase shall be made by depositing into the applicable Settlement Account or the applicable Series Account, not later than the Series Transfer Date preceding such Settlement Date, for application in accordance with Section 13.5, the amount specified in such Series Supplement.

(b) The amount deposited pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall be paid to the Noteholders of the related Series pursuant to Section 13.5 on the related Settlement Date following the date of such deposit. All Notes of a Series which are paid pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall be delivered by the Issuer upon such purchase to, and be canceled by, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer.

Section 13.5. Final Payment with Respect to Any Series.

(a) Written notice of any termination, specifying the Settlement Date upon which the Noteholders of any Series may surrender their Notes for final payment with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at least two Business Days’ prior notice from the Servicer to the Trustee) by the Trustee to Noteholders of such Series and the Notice Persons mailed not later than the last day of the month preceding such final payment (or in the manner provided by the Series Supplement relating to such Series) specifying (i) the Settlement Date (which shall be the Settlement Date in the month (x) in which the deposit is made pursuant to Section 13.4(a) of this Base Indenture or such other section as may be specified in the related Series Supplement, or (y) in which the related Series Termination Date occurs) upon which final payment of such Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein designated (which, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States), (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Settlement Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a Cofina Officer’s Certificate setting forth the information specified in Article 6 of this Base Indenture covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice and setting forth the date of such final distribution. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to such Noteholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the termination or discharge of the trust of the Indenture pursuant to Section 13.1 or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series, all funds then on deposit in the Settlement Account or any Series Account applicable to the related Series shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders of the related Series, and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to the Noteholders of the related Series upon surrender of their Notes (which surrenders and payments, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be made only outside the United States). In the event that all of the Noteholders of any Series shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give second written notice (or, in the case of Bearer Certificates, publication notice) to the remaining Noteholders of such Series upon receipt of the appropriate records from the Transfer Agent and Registrar to

surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one and one-half years after the second notice with respect to a Series, all the Notes of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Noteholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Settlement Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest which remains unclaimed for two years. After such payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look solely to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

(c) All Notes surrendered for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Notes and cancellation shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer.

Section 13.6. Termination Rights of Issuer. Upon the termination of the lien of the Indenture pursuant to Section 13.1, and after payment of all amounts due hereunder on or prior to such termination, the Trustee shall execute a written release and reconveyance substantially in the form of Exhibit A pursuant to which it shall release the lien of the Indenture and reconvey to the Issuer (without recourse, representation or warranty) all right, title and interest in the Trust Estate, whether then existing or thereafter created, all moneys due or to become due with respect to such Trust Estate (including all accrued interest theretofore posted as Finance Charges) and all proceeds of the Trust Estate, except for amounts held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent pursuant to Section 13.5(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Servicer to vest in the Issuer all right, title and interest in the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE 14.

AMENDMENTS

Section 14.1. Without Consent of the Noteholders. Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes, but, if the Servicer’s rights and/or obligations are materially and adversely affected thereby, with the prior written consent of the Servicer and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indenture supplements or amendments hereto or Series Supplements or amendments to any Series Supplement, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(a) to create a new Series of Notes;

(b) 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 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;

(c) 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;

(d) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of any Secured Parties (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

(e) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee any property or assets as security for the Issuer Obligations and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Trustee and to set forth such other provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the Indenture or as may, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture, be deemed appropriate by the Issuer and the Trustee, or to correct or amplify the description of any such property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed and transferred to the Trustee;

(f) to cure any ambiguity, or correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture hereto or in any Series Supplement or amendment to any Series Supplement which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental indenture or any Series Supplement or amendment to any Series Supplement; provided, however, that (subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.1) such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect without its consent; or

(g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more Series or to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary and permitted to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee pursuant to the requirements of Article 12.

Upon the request of the Issuer and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 2.2, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of any supplemental indenture or Series Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such Series Supplement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

An amendment described in this Section 14.1 shall be deemed not to affect adversely the interests of any Noteholder (or any relevant Secured Party) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect thereto (or, if there is no applicable Rating Agency, if the Funding Agent consents in writing).

Section 14.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Required Noteholders. The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with the consent of the Servicer (if the Servicer’s rights and/or obligations are materially and adversely affected thereby) and the consent of the Required Noteholders (or, with respect to an amendment to a particular Series Supplement, with the consent of the Required Noteholders of such Series), enter into an

100

indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes of any Series under this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby:

(i) extend or defer the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on, or any premium payable upon the redemption of, any Note or reduce in any manner the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, modify the provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement 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, so as to reduce the priority of payment thereof or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable;

(ii) impair the right to institute suit (to the extent provided herein) for the enforcement of the certain provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article 11, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof;

(iii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or Series Supplement or amendment of a Series Supplement, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement;

(iv) modify or alter the provisions of Section 16.3 of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement regarding the voting of Notes held by the Issuer, any Seller or an Affiliate thereof;

(v) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required to direct the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 11.4 if the proceeds of such sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes;

(vi) modify any provision of this proviso to Section 14.2, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby;

(vii) modify any of the provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement in such manner as to affect in any material adverse respect the rights of the

101

Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained in this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement; or

(viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any material part of the Trust Estate for the Notes (except for Permitted Encumbrances) or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any material portion of such collateral at any time subject hereto or deprive any Secured Party of any material portion of the security provided by the lien of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement;

provided, further, that no amendment will be permitted if it would result in a Taxable Event to any Noteholder, unless such Noteholder’s consent is obtained as described above.

Notwithstanding anything in Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to the contrary, the Series Supplement with respect to any Series may be amended with respect to the items and in accordance with the procedures provided in such Series Supplement.

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

The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Note shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture, amendment to this Base Indenture, or any Series Supplement pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Notes of all Series (or with respect to an amendment of a Series Supplement, to the Noteholder of the applicable Series), to any related Enhancement Provider and to each Rating Agency rating any affected Series a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, amendment to this Base Indenture, or any Series Supplement. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 14.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 14 or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Section 12.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized, permitted or not prohibited (as the case may be) by this Indenture. Such Opinion of Counsel may be subject to reasonable qualifications and assumptions of fact. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 14.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and 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

102

Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 14.5. [Reserved].

Section 14.6. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 14 may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared, executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes.

Section 14.7. Series Supplements. The initial effectiveness of each Series Supplement shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Series Supplement (or, if there is no applicable Rating Agency, if the Funding Agent consents in writing). In addition to the manner provided in Sections 14.1 and 14.2, each Series Supplement may be amended as provided in such Series Supplement.

Section 14.8. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.

Section 14.9. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 14.10. The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any Series Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 14 if the Series Supplement does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If any Series Supplement does have such a materially adverse effect, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Series Supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 12.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, a Cofina Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Series Supplement is authorized, permitted or not prohibited (as the case may be) by this Indenture and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms.

103

ARTICLE 15.

REDEMPTION AND REFINANCING OF NOTES

Section 15.1. Redemption and Refinancing. If specified in a Series Supplement, the Notes of any Series are subject to redemption as specified in the related Series Supplement or at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.4, on any Settlement Date on which the Issuer exercises its option to refinance or the Servicer exercises its right to purchase the Trust Estate, in each case, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. If the Notes of any Series are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 15.1, the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee in the related Settlement Account the Redemption Price of the Notes of such Series to be redeemed whereupon all such redeemed Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 15.2 to each Holder of such Notes.

Section 15.2. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section 15.1 shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes of the Series to be redeemed, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 8.2); and

(iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

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

Section 15.3. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes of any Series to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 15.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 15.1), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

104

ARTICLE 16.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 16.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee if requested thereby (i) a Cofina 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; and

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

Section 16.2. Form of Documents Delivered to 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 a Responsible 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 or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Responsible Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Sellers or the Issuer, stating that the

105

information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of or known to the Servicer, the Sellers 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 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 Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article 11.

Section 16.3. Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Wherever in this Indenture a provision is made that an action may be taken or a notice, demand or instruction given by Noteholders, such action, notice or instruction may be taken or given by any Noteholder, unless such provision requires a specific percentage of Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, none of the Sellers, the Issuer or any Affiliate of CFA shall have any right to vote with respect to any Note.

(b) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 12.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(c) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee.

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

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any such Notes shall bind such Noteholder and the Holder of every Note and every subsequent Holder of such Notes issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done

106

by the Trustee, the Servicer or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 16.4. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at, sent by facsimile to, sent by courier at or mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, to:

(a) in the case of the Issuer, to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇;

(b) in the case of the Servicer, to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇;

(d) in the case of any Enhancement Provider for, or Required Person with respect to, a particular Series, the address, if any, specified in the Series Supplement relating to such Series; and

(e) in the case of the Rating Agency for a particular Series, the address, if any, specified in the Series Supplement relating to such Series;

or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Unless otherwise provided with respect to any Series in the related Series Supplement or otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register, or with respect to any notice required or permitted to be made to the Holders of Bearer Notes, by publication in the manner provided in the related Series Supplement. If and so long as any Series or Class is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, any notice to Noteholders shall be published in an authorized newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which maybe the Luxembourger Wort or Zeitung) within the time period prescribed in this Indenture. Any notice so mailed or published, as the case may be, within the time prescribed in this Indenture shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder receives such notice.

The Issuer or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications; provided, however, the Issuer may not at any time designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be effective.

Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telex or telecopier shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier.

107

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no liability based upon or arising from the failure to receive any notice required by or relating to this Indenture or the Notes.

If the Issuer mails a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee at the same time.

Section 16.5. Notices to Noteholders: Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner here in provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

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

Section 16.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided that such methods are consented to by the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

Section 16.7. [Reserved].

108

Section 16.10. Separability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture or Notes shall for any reason whatsoever be 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 rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 16.11. Benefits of Indenture. Except as set forth in this Indenture, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Secured Parties, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Indenture.

Section 16.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due to any Secured Party shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) any such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date to the date paid.

Section 16.13. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS INDENTURE AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENT THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

Section 16.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate 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 16.15. 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 Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the 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 Trustee under this Indenture.

109

Section 16.16. Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) any Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee or (ii) any partner, owner, incorporator beneficiary, beneficial owner, agent, officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Issuer, any Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee, except (x) as any such Person may have expressly agreed and (y) nothing in this Section shall relieve any Seller or the Servicer from its own obligations under the terms of any Transaction Document. Nothing in this Section 16.16 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Trust Estate.

Section 16.17. No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Issuer. Each of the Secured Parties and the Trustee by entering into the Indenture, any Enhancement Agreement, any Series Supplement or any Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in such Series Supplement) and in the case of a Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, the termination of the Indenture and payment in full of all other obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents. In the event that any such Secured Party or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 16.17, the Issuer shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Secured Party or the Trustee against the Issuer or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 16.17 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving the Issuer. No obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Issuer in the event that amounts are not paid in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.4(c). All obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee and the Secured Parties are subject to the priorities of payments set forth in Section 5.4(c).

Section 16.18. No Joint Venture. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto and the services of the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent for the Trustee.

Section 16.19. Rule 144A Information. For so long as any of the Notes of any Series or any Class are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer and the Servicer agree to cooperate with each other to provide to any Noteholders of such Series or Class and to any prospective purchaser of Notes designated by such Noteholder upon the request of such Noteholder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if at the time of the request the Issuer is not a reporting company under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

110

Section 16.20. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, any Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 16.21. Successors and Assigns; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Indenture will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 16, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

Section 16.23. Rules by the Trustee. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of any Secured Parties.

Section 16.24. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

Section 16.26. Power of Attorney. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and irrevocably appoints the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Secured Parties) as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Issuer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Issuer and on behalf of the Issuer necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Trustee to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Receivables or Related Security, including endorsing the name of the Issuer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables, Related Security and the related Loan Documents.

Schedule I

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

The Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

General

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Receivables in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

2. The Receivables constitute “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “instruments” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.

3. Each Trust Account (and all subaccounts thereof) constitutes either a deposit account or a securities account.

4. Each Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the applicable Obligor in the property securing the Receivables that constitute chattel paper.

Creation

5. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only Permitted Encumbrances.

6. Each Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables under the Purchase Agreement or Purchase and Contribution Agreement required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments or payment intangibles.

Perfection:

7. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from each Seller to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Trustee hereunder.

8. With respect to Receivables that constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper, either:

(i) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of a custodian and the Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustee; or

(ii) A custodian received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Trustee received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is acting solely as agent of the Trustee; or

(iii) The Seller has in its possession the original copies of such instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables, and the Issuer has caused, or will have caused within ten days of the effective date of the Purchase Agreement, the filing of financing statements against the Issuer and each Seller in favor of the Trustee in connection herewith describing such Receivables and containing a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Trustee.”

9. With respect to each Trust Account (and all subaccounts thereof) that constitute deposit accounts, either:

(i) The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the Trust Accounts (and any subaccounts thereof) without further consent by the Issuer; or

(ii) The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Trustee to become the account holder of the Trust Accounts (and any subaccounts thereof).

10. With respect to each Trust Account (and all subaccounts thereof) that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

(i) The Issuer has delivered to Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Trustee relating to the relevant Trust Account without further consent by the Issuer; or

(ii) The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to identify in its records the Trustee as the person having a security entitlement against the securities intermediary in each of the relevant Trust Accounts.

Priority

11. Other than the transfer of the Receivables to the Issuer under the Purchase Agreement, the transfer to Cofina Financial, LLC under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement and the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor any Seller has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables or any Trust Account (or any subaccount thereof). Neither the Issuer nor the Seller has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against the Issuer or the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables or any Trust Account (or any subaccount thereof) other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

12. Neither the Issuer nor any Seller is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Issuer or any Seller.

Base Indenture

13. None of the instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee.

14. No Trust Account (nor any subaccount thereof) is in the name of any person other than the Issuer or the Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the securities intermediary of any Trust Account (or any subaccount thereof) to comply with entitlement orders of any person other than the Trustee.

15. No Trust Account (nor any subaccount thereof) is in the name of any person other than the Issuer or the Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the bank maintaining the Trust Accounts to comply with instructions of any person other than the Trustee.

16. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer or termination of Servicer’s rights to act as such) until such time as all Issuer Obligations under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.

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

18. Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. In order to evidence the interests of the Issuer and the Trustee under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than filing financing statements) as may be necessary or advisable (including such actions as are requested by the Secured Party) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Issuer’s or the Trustee’s ownership or security interest in the Receivables and perfect the Issuer’s or the Trustee’s ownership or security interest in collateral covering the Receivables or any Trust Account (or any subaccount thereof). The Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Trustee for the Trustee’s authorization and approval all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect as a first-priority interest the Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Estate. The Trustee’s approval of such filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Issuer, any Seller or the Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements, without the prior written consent of the Trustee. The Trustee may require, prior to authorizing or filing any such termination, partial termination, release, partial release or amendment, that Servicer provide an Opinion of Counsel that such filings are authorized under the Transaction Documents.
