SECTION 1.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee and Insurer.
--------------------------------------------------
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or

Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one

or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know,
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters
upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such

shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include
a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the

counsel.
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.
21
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Trustee [or the Insurer], it is provided that the
Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such
application, or as evidence of 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 or the Insurer's right to rely upon the truth
and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as
provided in Section 8.01(a)(ii).
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default or Servicer Event
of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee
or the Insurer at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding
that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's
right to make such request or direction, the Trustee [and the Insurer] shall be
protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not
have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of
Default or Servicer Event of Default. For all purposes of this Indenture,
neither the Trustee [nor the Insurer] shall be deemed to have knowledge of any
Insurer Default, Servicer Event of Default, Default or Event of Default nor
shall the Trustee [or the Insurer] have any duty to monitor or investigate to
determine whether such default has occurred (other than an Event of Default of
the kind described in Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(b)) unless, in the case of the
Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge
thereof or shall have been notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the
Servicer, [the Insurer] or any Noteholder.
SECTION 1.04. Acts of Noteholders, etc.
------------------------
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer [and/or the Insurer]. 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

power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on which
the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any
event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing

requested, or sent by private courier or confirmed telecopy to each Noteholder
affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its
address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and
not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or
the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders
is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in
any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the 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 waiver.
(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to
Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.06(a), of any event or any report to
Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to
any provision of this Indenture, then such notification or delivery as shall be
made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder.

Issuer.
SECTION 1.15. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is limited to $__________ of Notes, except for
Notes
26
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04, or 10.05. The

--------
or prevent the transfer in accordance with Section 2.03 of any Note having a
remaining Outstanding Principal Amount of other than an integral multiple of
$1,000, or the issuance of a single Note of each Class, with a denomination less
than $1,000.
(b) For each Payment Date, payments of principal (the "Principal
Payments") on the Notes will be made in accordance with Sections 3.03(b), or
7.06, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, no part of
the principal of any Note shall be paid prior to the Payment Date on which such
principal is due in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section
2.01(b), except that the Issuer may redeem the Notes in their entirety
(including any unpaid interest due), without premium, as of any Payment Date on
which the Discounted Present Value of the Performing Leases is less than or
equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Discounted Present Value of the
Leases as of the Cut-Off Date (after giving effect to all Principal Payments on
such Payment Date). The Issuer will give written notice of any such redemption
to the Trustee and the Trustee shall give written notice to the Noteholders at
least 30 days before the Payment Date fixed for such prepayment by certified
mail return receipt requested, hand delivery or overnight courier. Notice of
such prepayment having been so given, the remaining unpaid principal as of the
Payment Date fixed for prepayment together with all interest accrued and unpaid
to such Payment Date, shall become due and payable on such Payment Date.
(c) For each Payment Date, the interest due and payable (the
"Interest Payments") with respect to the Class [A-1] Notes, Class [A-2] Notes,
Class [A-3a] Notes, Class [A-3b] Notes and Class [A-4] Notes will be the
interest that has accrued on the respective Notes since the last Payment Date
or, in the case of the first Payment Date, since the Issuance Date, at the Class
[A-1] Note Interest Rate, Class [A-2] Note Interest Rate, Class [A-3a] Note
Interest Rate, Class [A-3b] Note Interest Rate and Class [A-4] Note Interest
Rate, respectively, applied to the then Outstanding Principal Amounts of the
Class [A-1] Notes, Class [A-2] Notes, Class [A-3a] Notes, Class [A-3b] Notes and
Class [A-4] Notes, respectively, on the preceding Payment Date. With respect to
the Class [A-1] Notes and the Class [A-3b] Notes, the interest will be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days in
the related interest accrual period. With respect to all other Notes, the
interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months. Interest Payments will be made in accordance with Sections
3.03(b), 3.04(b) and 7.06, as applicable.
(d) All payments made with respect to any Note shall be made in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts and shall be applied first
to the interest then due and payable on such Notes, then to the principal
thereof, and finally to premium, if any.
(e) All Class [A-1] Notes issued under this Indenture shall be in all
respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof without preference,
priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication
and delivery, all in
27
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture. Payments of
principal and interest on the Class [A-1] Notes shall be made pro rata among all
Outstanding Class [A-1] Notes, without preference or priority of any kind.

respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof without preference,
priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication

rata among all Outstanding Class [A-2] Notes, without preference or priority of
any kind.

this Indenture shall be in all respects equally and ratably entitled to the
benefits hereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the
actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Indenture. Payments of principal and interest on
the Class [A-3a] Notes and Class [A-3b] Notes shall be made pro rata among all
Outstanding Class [A-3a] Notes and Class [A-3b] Notes, without preference or
priority of any kind.
(h) All Class [A-4] Notes issued under this Indenture shall be in all
respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof without preference,
priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication

SECTION 2.02. Execution, Authentication, Delivery, and Dating.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Notes shall be manually executed by the Issuer.
(b) Any Note bearing the signature of an individual who was at the
time of execution thereof a proper officer of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individual ceases to hold such office prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Note or did not hold such office at the date
of such Note.
(c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein,
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of
its authentication.
(d) The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and
delivered to the Trustee for authentication together with a Issuer Request to
the Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and
thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
accordance with such Issuer Request.
28
SECTION 2.03. Transfer and Exchange.
---------------------
(a) The Trustee is hereby appointed "Note Registrar" for the purpose
of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note
Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the
"Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee
may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of
transfers of Notes.
The Trustee shall not register the transfer of any Note (other than
the transfer of a Note to the nominee of the Clearing Agency) unless the
transferee has executed and delivered to the Trustee a certification to the
effect that either (i) the transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I
of ERISA or (b) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) that is subject to Section 4975 of the
Code (each of the foregoing, a "Benefit Plan"), and is not acting on behalf of
or investing the assets of a benefit Plan, or (ii) the transferee's acquisition
and continued holding of the Note will be covered by a U.S. Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption. Each transferee of a Book-Entry Note
shall be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations.
(b) Subject to Section 2.03(a), upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Note at the office designated pursuant to Section 9.02 for such
purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee upon request shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate original principal amount. The Trustee shall make a notation on any
such new Note of the amount of principal, if any, that has been paid on such
Note.
(c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment by the
transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 10.05 not involving any
transfer.
SECTION 2.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.
-------------------------------------------
(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefore a
29
replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) If (i) there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and
(ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and (unless an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing) the Insurer such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Issuer or the Trustee
that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall
execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
(c) In case the final installment of principal on any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will at the next Payment
Date become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a replacement Note, pay such Note.
(d) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section,
the Issuer or the Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed as
a result of the issuance of such replacement Note.
(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.04 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the 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.
(f) The provisions of this Section 2.04 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.

with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.05
shall control; and
(d) the rights of the respective Note Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such respective Note
Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes, are

that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Notes is no
longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Issuer shall notify
the Trustee and all Note Owners through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes. Upon surrender by
DTC of the Notes, accompanied by registration and transfer instructions from DTC
for registration, the Issuer shall reissue such Notes as Definitive Notes to the
Noteholders. The Issuer shall not 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, as the case may be,
all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by DTC
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Issuer, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Issuer shall recognize
the holders of the relevant Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.
(b) Definitive Notes will not be eligible for clearing or settlement
through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

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

SECTION 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners.
---------------------
Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee, [the Insurer], and any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee [or
the Insurer] may treat the registered Noteholder as the 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 be overdue, and
neither the Issuer, the Trustee, [the Insurer] nor any agent of the Issuer, the
Trustee [or the Insurer] shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 2.10. Cancellation.
------------
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or

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
cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. [Subject to the next sentence,] all
cancelled Notes held by the Trustee may be disposed of in the normal course of
its business or as directed by an Issuer Order. [Promptly following the date on
which all principal of and interest on the Notes has been paid in full and the
Notes have been surrendered to the Trustee, the Trustee shall, if the Insurer
has paid any amount in respect of the Notes under the Policy or otherwise which
has not been reimbursed to it, deliver such surrendered Notes to the Insurer.]
SECTION 2.11. Noteholder Lists.
----------------
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Noteholders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act. In the event the Trustee no longer serves as the Note Registrar,
the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) shall furnish to the Trustee at
least five Business Days before each interest payment date (and in all events in
intervals of not more than 6 months) and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders, and the Issuer
shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
SECTION 2.12. Treasury Notes.
--------------
In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, any other obligor upon the Notes or an
Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not Outstanding, except
that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible
Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
33
SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers.
-------------
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of
the Notes in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to
Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
--------
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and related materials.

ACCOUNTS; INVESTMENT OF MONEYS; COLLECTION
AND APPLICATION OF MONEYS; REPORTS
SECTION 3.01. Transaction Accounts; Investments by Trustee.
--------------------------------------------
(a) On or before the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall establish in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders [and the Insurer] to
the extent of their interests therein as provided in this Indenture the
following accounts, which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts maintained at the
Corporate Trust Office:
(i) Collection Account;
(ii) [Renewal Account]
(iii) Reserve Account; and
(iv) Security Deposit Account.
Subject to the further provisions of this Section 3.01(a), the Trustee shall,
upon receipt or upon transfer from another account, as the case may be, deposit
into such accounts all amounts received by it which are required to be deposited
therein in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All such amounts
and all investments made with such amounts, including all income and other gain
from such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in such accounts as part of
the Asset Pool as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Trustee in
accordance with, and for the purposes specified in the provisions of, this
Indenture.
(b) The Trustee shall hold in trust but shall not be required to
deposit in any account specified in Section 3.01(a) any payment received by it
until such time as the Trustee shall have identified to its reasonable
satisfaction the nature of such payment and, on the basis thereof, the proper
account or accounts into which such payment is to be deposited. In determining
into which of the accounts, if any, referred to above any amount received by the
Trustee is to be deposited, the Trustee may conclusively rely (in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee) on the advice of the Servicer. Unless the
Trustee is advised differently in writing by the Lessee making the payment or by
the Servicer in writing (with the Servicer's instruction controlling), the
Trustee shall assume that any amount remitted to it by such Lessee is to be
deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03. The Trustee may
establish from time to time such
34
deadline or deadlines as it shall determine are reasonable or necessary in the
administration of the Asset Pool after which all amounts received or collected
by the Trustee on any day shall not be deemed to have been received or collected
until the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any right of
set-off with respect to the Collection Account, [the Renewal Account,] the
Reserve Account or the Security Deposit Account or any investment therein.
(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
all or a portion of the amounts in the Transaction Accounts, shall be invested
and reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to a Servicer Order in one or more
Eligible Investments. Subject to the restrictions on the maturity of investments
set forth in Section 3.01(f), each such Servicer Order may authorize the Trustee
to make the specific Eligible Investments set forth therein, to make Eligible
Investments from time to time consistent with the general instructions set forth
therein, or to make specific Eligible Investments pursuant to instructions
received in writing or by telegraph or facsimile transmission from the employees
or agents of the Servicer, identified therein, in each case in such amounts as
such Servicer Order shall specify. The Issuer agrees to report as income for
financial reporting and tax purposes (to the extent reportable) all investment
earnings on amounts in the Collection Account, [the Renewal Account,] the
Reserve Account or the Security Deposit Account. The Servicer agrees to give
appropriate and timely investment directions to the Trustee so that there will
not be more than two Business Days in any one calendar year at the end of which
funds in the Transaction Accounts are not invested, directly or indirectly,
pursuant to a Servicer Order in Eligible Investments that mature on or after the
opening of business on the next Business Day.
(e) In the event that either (i) the Servicer, shall have failed to
give investment directions to the Trustee by 9:30 A.M., New York City time on
any Business Day on which there may be uninvested cash or (ii) an Event of
Default shall be continuing, the Trustee shall promptly invest and reinvest the
funds then in the Collection Account, [the Renewal Account,] the Reserve Account
or the Security Deposit Account, as the case may be, to the fullest extent
practicable in Eligible Investments specified in clause (e) of the definition
thereof. All investments made by the Trustee shall mature no later than the
maturity date therefore permitted by Section 3.01(f) unless the Trustee shall
have received written confirmation from each Rating Agency, that the liquidation
of such Eligible Investments prior to their respective maturity dates, will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of such Rating Agency's then-current
rating of the Notes.
(f) Unless payable on demand, no investment of any amount held in
the Transaction Accounts shall mature later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the Payment Date which is scheduled to occur immediately following the
date of investment. All income or other gains (net of losses) from the
investment of moneys deposited in the Transaction Accounts shall be deposited by
the Trustee in such account immediately upon receipt.
35
(g) Any investment of any funds in the Transaction Accounts and
any sale of any investment held in such accounts, shall be made under the
following terms and conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the name of the Trustee
or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee, in each case in such manner as shall
be necessary to maintain the identity of such investments as assets of the Asset
Pool;
(ii) any certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent and the Trustee shall
have sole possession of such instrument, and all income on such investment; and
(iii) the proceeds of any sale of an investment shall be remitted
by the purchaser thereof directly to the Trustee for deposit in the account in
which such investment was held.
(h) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the
Transaction Accounts and sufficient uninvested funds are not collected and
available therein to make such disbursement, in the absence of a Servicer Order
for the liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient to
provide the required funds, the Trustee shall select and cause to be sold or
otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such
accounts.
(i) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of
any insufficiency in the Transaction Accounts resulting from losses on
investments made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.01 (but the
institution serving as Trustee shall at all times remain liable for its own debt
obligations, if any, constituting part of such investments) or losses incurred
in respect of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated
maturity. The Trustee shall not be liable for the selection of any Eligible
Investment or any investment made by it in accordance with this Section 3.01 on
the grounds that it could have made a more favorable investment or a more
favorable selection for sale of an investment.
SECTION 3.02. Collection of Moneys.
--------------------
(a) On or before the Issuance Date, the Servicer shall designate a
lockbox for the receipt directly from Lessees of all payments under the Leases
and for the receipt from IOS Capital or the Lessees of security deposits in
respect of any of the Leases. Amounts so received shall be deposited in the
Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(a) or, in
the case of security deposits, the Security Deposit Account in accordance with
Section 3.08(a).
(b) The Trustee shall from time to time, in accordance with
instructions of the Servicer, withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to
the Servicer for appropriate application by the Servicer any amounts in the
Collection Account which the Servicer advises the Trustee in writing are Other
Lease Payments. Prior to such payment, the Trustee shall have rights to and an
interest in such amounts to the extent (but only to the extent) it is determined
that such amounts actually constitute Transaction Payment Amounts.
36
(c) If at any time the Issuer shall receive any amount referred to
in Section 3.03(a), it shall hold such payment in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee, the holders of the Notes [and the Insurer,] shall segregate such
payment from the other property of the Issuer, and shall, promptly (but in no
event later than the next following Business Day) upon receipt, deliver such
payment in the form received to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.03. Collection Account; Payments.

"Required Deposit Date") deposit the following funds, as received, into the
Collection Account:

such Termination Payments in Additional Leases; and
(x) proceeds for redemption of the Notes in the event the Issuer
exercises its right to redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 2.01(b).
(b) Unless the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to
Section 7.02 and moneys collected by the Trustee are being applied in accordance
with Section 7.06, Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account
(including the amounts, if any, deposited into the Collection Account from the
Reserve Account and the Security Deposit Account in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 3.04 and 3.08) shall be withdrawn by the Trustee as
directed by the Servicer in the related Servicing Report on or before each
Payment Date from the Collection Account, in the amounts required, for
application in the following order of priority, to make the following Required
Payments (all in accordance with the applicable Servicing Report):

then (iii) pro rata, to the Class [A-3a] Noteholders and the Class [A-3b]
Noteholders only, until the Outstanding Principal Amount on the Class [A-3a]
Notes and the Outstanding Principal Amount on the Class [A-3b] Notes has been
reduced to zero, and finally, (iv) to the Class [A-4] Noteholders until the
Outstanding Principal Amount on the Class [A-4] Notes is reduced to zero;
(viii) if an Acceleration Event has occurred, to pay the Additional
Principal, if any, as an additional reduction of principal, to the Class A
Noteholders then receiving the Class A Principal Payment, in the order

of the Class A Notes has been reduced to zero;
(ix) to make a deposit to the Reserve Account in an amount equal to
the excess of the Required Reserve Amount over the Available Reserve Amount;

amounts on such Payment Date. If at any time any amount or portion thereof
previously distributed pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall have been
recovered, or shall be subject to recovery, in any proceeding with respect to
the Issuer or otherwise, then for purposes of determining future distributions
pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) such amount or portion thereof shall be deemed
to have not been previously so distributed.
(d) The Servicer shall submit with the Servicing Report a
certificate (i) setting forth any amounts to be withdrawn (on an item-by-item
basis) from the Collection Account other than as provided in Section 3.03(b),
(ii) stating that none of such amounts are all or part of any amounts required

performance of the Trustee's duties in this Article III and in Article IV of
this Indenture. The Trustee [and the Insurer] shall be entitled to
40
rely in good faith on such information or calculations unless and until [the
Insurer or] a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as the case may be, has actual
knowledge, or is advised by any Noteholder [or the Insurer] (either in writing
or orally with prompt written or telecopied confirmation), that such information
or calculations is or are incorrect.

respect of the payment of fees or expenses of any provider of services to the
Issuer with respect to such Payment Date, or (ii) to include such amount as part

[ARTICLE IV
THE POLICY
SECTION 4.01. Claims Under Policy.
-------------------
(a) On each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine from the
related Servicer Report with respect to the immediately following Payment Date
the Deficiency Amount, if any. If the Trustee determines that a Deficiency
Amount would exist, the Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A
to the Policy and submit such Notice to the Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New
York City time on the third Business Day preceding such Payment Date as a claim
for payment in an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount. Amounts paid by the
Insurer pursuant to a claim submitted under this Section 4.01, shall be
deposited by the Trustee into the Collection Account for payment to Noteholders
on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.03(b).
(b) Any notice delivered by the Trustee to the Insurer pursuant to
Section 4.01(a) shall specify the Deficiency Amount claimed under the Policy and
shall constitute a "Notice" (as defined in the Policy) under the Policy. In
accordance with the provisions of the Policy, the Insurer is required to pay to
the Trustee the Deficiency Amount properly claimed thereunder by 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the later of (i) the third Business Day (as defined in the
Policy) following receipt on a Business Day
42
of the Notice of Claim, and (ii) the applicable Payment Date. Any payment made
under the Policy by the Insurer shall be applied solely to the payment of the
Notes as set forth in the Policy, and for no other purpose.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each
Noteholder any Deficiency Amount from the Insurer and (ii) deposit the same in
the Collection Account for payment to Noteholders as provided in Section
3.03(b). For the purposes of clause (d) below, any Deficiency Amount disbursed
by the Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not be considered payment
by the Issuer with respect to such Notes, and shall not discharge the
obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Insurer shall be entitled to
receive the related Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 3.03(b) with
respect to each Insured Payment made by the Insurer.
(d) The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with
respect to the Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such
payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any
payment with respect to the Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Trustee
and the Noteholders shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of
interest or principal with respect to the Notes which are then due for payment
to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer, and the Insurer may exercise
any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to the Notes to the
extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Policy. To evidence such
subrogation, the Note Registrar (as defined in this Indenture) shall note the
Insurer's rights as subrogee upon the register of Noteholders upon receipt from
the Insurer of proof of payment by the Insurer of any Insured Payment (as
defined in the Policy). The foregoing subrogation shall in all cases be subject
to the rights of the Noteholders to receive all Insured Payments (as defined in
the Policy) in respect of the Notes.
(e) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all
Policy proceeds deposited into the Collection Account and the allocation of such
funds to payment of interest on and principal paid in respect of any Note. The
Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times upon
one Business Day's prior notice to the Trustee.
(f) The Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the
Noteholders the obligations of the Insurer under the Policy. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture or any Transaction Documents, the
Noteholders are not entitled to make any claims under the Policy or institute
proceedings directly against the Insurer.
SECTION 4.02. Preference Claims.
-----------------
(a) In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of
an order of the appropriate court that any amount previously distributed to a
Noteholder in respect of any Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a
preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall so notify
the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by
the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice
to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in the event that any
Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will
43
be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy. The Trustee shall
furnish to the Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes, if any, which have been made by the Trustee and
subsequently recovered from Noteholders, and the dates on which such payments
were made. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Insurer will make such
payment on behalf of the Noteholder to the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy
named in the final order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the
Noteholder and not to any Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has returned
principal or interest on the Notes to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in
which case the Insurer will make such payment to the Trustee for payment to such
Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer).
(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding
or the institution of any action (of which the Trustee has actual knowledge)
seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a "Preference Claim")
of any payment made with respect to the Notes. Each Holder, by its purchase of
Notes, and the Trustee hereby agrees that so long as an Insurer Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the
continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters

have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon from the date when the same
first became due until the date of payment or deposit at the

(iii) [all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder
and all sums due to the Insurer and the reasonable compensation,

----- ------
[the Insurer (if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or] the
holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes [(if an
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing).] None of the Trustee, [the
Insurer] nor any Noteholder shall have any rights against the Issuer other than
to enforce the Lien of this Indenture and to sell the assets in the Asset Pool.

None of the Noteholders [nor the Insurer] shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:
(i) such Noteholder [or the Insurer], as the case may be, has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Notes [or the Insurer, as the case may be,] shall have

written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

of the Notes [or the Insurer], as the case may be; and
(vi) [in the case of any proceeding instituted by any Noteholder
without the written consent of the Insurer, an Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing;]
it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other
Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Noteholders. It is further understood and intended that so long as any portion
of the Notes remains Outstanding, IOS Capital shall not have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture
(other than for the enforcement of Sections 3.03(b), 3.04(b), 3.05, 3.06, 4.01
and 4.02 hereof) or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee (including,
without limitation, a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), or for any other
remedy hereunder. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall be construed as limiting
the rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to petition a court for the
removal of a Trustee pursuant to Section 8.08(h) hereof.
SECTION 7.08. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive
---------------------------------------------
Principal and Interest.

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, [the Insurer] or to such Noteholder, then
and in every such case, subject to any
52
determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee, [the Insurer] and the

instituted.
SECTION 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in Section 2.04 (f), no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to [the Insurer or to] the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
----------------------------
No delay or omission of the Trustee, [the Insurer] or of any holder of
any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee, [the Insurer] or to the Noteholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee, [the Insurer] or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
SECTION 7.12. Control by Noteholders.
----------------------
[Except as may otherwise be provided in this Indenture regarding
control by the Insurer,] until such time as the conditions specified in Section

Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) no such direction shall be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be required to follow any such direction
which the Trustee reasonably believes might result in any personal liability on
the part of the Trustee for which the Trustee is not indemnified to its
satisfaction; and
(iii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such direction; provided that the
--------
Trustee shall give notice of any such action to each Noteholder.
53
SECTION 7.13. Undertaking for Costs.
---------------------
All parties to this Indenture agree (and each holder of any Note by
its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee
[or the Insurer], to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the then Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the Maturities for such payments, including the Stated Maturity as
applicable.
SECTION 7.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
--------------------------------
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, 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, which 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 7.15. Sale of Asset Pool.
------------------
(a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Asset Pool
described pursuant to Section 7.03 shall not be exhausted by any one or more
sales as to any portion of the Asset Pool remaining unsold, but shall continue
unimpaired until the entire Asset Pool shall have been sold or all amounts
referred to in clauses first through fifth in Section 7.06 shall have been paid.
----- -----
The Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with Section
7.12, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place
of such sale. For any public sale of the Asset Pool, the Trustee shall have
provided each Noteholder with notice of such sale at least two weeks in advance
of such sale which notice shall specify the date, time and location of such
sale.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not
in any private sale sell to a third party the Asset Pool, or any portion thereof
unless,
(i) until such time as the conditions specified in Section 11.01
have been satisfied in full, [the Insurer (if no Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing) or] the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes
54
[(if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing)] consent to or direct
the Trustee in writing to make such sale; or
(ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of
all amounts due to the Trustee hereunder and all amounts referred to in clause
first through third of Section 7.06 on the Payment Date next succeeding the date
----- -----
of such sale.
The foregoing provisions shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Trustee
to purchase all or any portion of the Asset Pool at a private sale.
(c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Asset
Pool:
(i) any one or more Noteholders [or the Insurer] may bid for and
purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of
sale may hold, retain, and possess and dispose of such property, without further
accountability, and any Noteholder [or the Insurer], as the case may be, may, in
paying the purchase money therefore, deliver in lieu of cash any Outstanding
Notes or claims for interest thereon [(or, in the case of the Insurer, surrender
the Insurer's subrogation rights with respect to such Outstanding Notes or
claims for interest thereon)] for credit in the amount that shall, upon
distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and the
Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due
thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped
to show such partial payment;
(ii) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument of conveyance transferring its interest, without representation,
warranty or recourse, in any portion of the Asset Pool in connection with a sale
thereof;
(iii) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and

consent or waiver by [the Insurer (with or without the consent of any Holder of
the Notes if no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or] the Holder
of this Class [A-1] Note [(if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing)] shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Class [A-1] Note and of any Class [A-1] Note issued upon
the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange here for or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class [A-1]
