(C)

third, sequentially to the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Notes, in that order, up to an amount equal to and in the following order with respect to each such Class: (a) the Accrued Note Interest thereon for such Payment Date (subject to

Net Interest Shortfalls allocated to such Class) to the extent of any remaining Interest Funds; (b) any Accrued Note Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Payment Dates, with accrued interest thereon, to the extent of any remaining Interest Funds; and (c) such Class’s Allocable Share of the Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount for such Payment Date, in each case to the extent of any remaining Principal Funds and until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(D)

fourth, to the Certificate Paying Agent for distribution to the Owner Trust Certificates as set forth in the Trust Agreement.

(b) On each Payment Date prior to the Cross-Over Date but after the reduction of the Note Principal Balance of all of the Senior Notes of a Note Group to zero, the remaining Class or Classes of Senior Notes in the remaining Note Group will be entitled to receive in reduction of their Notes Principal Balances, pro rata based upon their Note Principal Balances immediately prior to such Payment Date, in addition to any Principal Prepayments related to such remaining Senior Notes’ respective Loan Group allocated to such Senior Notes, 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Loan Group relating to the Class or Classes of Senior Notes of the fully repaid Note Group; provided, however, that if (A) the weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages on such Payment Date equals or exceeds two times the initial weighted average of the Subordinate Percentages and (B) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Subordinate Notes does not exceed 50%, then the additional allocation of Principal Prepayments to the Senior Notes in accordance with this clause (b) will not be made and 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Loan Group relating to the fully repaid Class or Classes of Senior Notes will be allocated to the Subordinate Notes.

(c) If on any Payment Date on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance of Senior Notes in a Note Group would be greater than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group and any Subordinate Notes are still outstanding, in each case after giving effect to distributions to be made on such Payment Date, (A) 100% of amounts otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Notes in respect of principal will be distributed to such Class or Classes of Senior Notes in reduction of the Note Principal Balances thereof, until the aggregate Note Principal Balance of such Class or Classes of Senior Notes is an amount equal to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group, and (B) the Accrued Note Interest otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Notes on such Payment Date will be reduced, if necessary, and distributed to such Class or Classes of Senior Notes in an amount equal to the Accrued Note Interest for such Payment Date on the excess of (x) the aggregate Note Principal Balance of such Class or Classes of Senior Notes over (y) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group. Any such reduction in the Accrued Note Interest on the Subordinate Certificates will be allocated to the Subordinate Certificates, commencing with the Subordinate Notes with the lowest payment priority.

(d) No Accrued Note Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Notes after the Payment Date on which the Note Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Note has been reduced to zero.

(e) If on any Payment Date the Interest Funds for the Senior Notes in any Note Group is less than the Accrued Note Interest on the related Senior Notes for such Payment Date prior to reduction for Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be allocated among the holders of each Class of Senior Notes in such Note Group in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Note Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such Payment Date. In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls will constitute unpaid Accrued Note Interest and will be distributable to holders of the Notes of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on subsequent Payment Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available Funds after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so carried forward will bear interest. Shortfalls in interest payments will not be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Master Servicer or otherwise, except to the extent of applicable Compensating Interest Payments.

(f) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Note Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Note Owners that it represents. None of the Securities Administrator, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor.

(g) On each Payment Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account all amounts it received pursuant to this Section 3.03 for the purpose of distributing such funds to the Certificateholders. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement as directed by the Securities Administrator hereunder.

(h) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall, if such Holder shall have so requested at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, be paid to each Holder of record on the preceding Record Date, by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by such Holder as of the preceding Record Date or in all other cases or if no such instructions have been delivered to the Securities Administrator, by check to such Noteholder mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register in the amount required to be distributed to such Holder on such Payment Date pursuant to such Holder’s Notes; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not pay to such Holders any amount required to be withheld from a payment to such Holder by the Code.

(i) The Note Principal Balance of each Note shall be due and payable in full on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Note as provided in the forms of Note set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 to this Indenture. All principal payments on the Notes shall be

made to the Noteholders entitled thereto in accordance with the Percentage Interests represented by such Notes. Upon notice to the Securities Administrator by the Issuer, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date (including any final Payment Date resulting from any redemption pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof). Such notice shall to the extent practicable be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to such Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date and shall specify that payment of the principal amount and any interest due with respect to such Note at the Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for such final payment. No interest shall accrue on the Notes on or after the Final Scheduled Payment Date or any such other final Payment Date.

Section 3.04 Protection of Trust Estate. (a) The Issuer will from time to time prepare, execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(ii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(iii) enforce any provision of the Grantor Trust Certificate or Grantor Trust Agreement; or

(iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not remove or permit the Custodian to remove any portion of the Trust Estate that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date of the most recent Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.05(a) hereof, if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 3.05(b) hereof), unless the Indenture Trustee shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to sign any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be signed pursuant to this Section 3.04 upon the Issuer’s preparation thereof and delivery to the Indenture Trustee.

(a) With respect to that portion of the Collateral described in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Trust Estate, the Issuer represents to the Indenture Trustee that:

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

(ii) The Collateral constitutes “deposit accounts,” “instruments” or “certificated securities,” as applicable within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iii) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(iv) The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

(v) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

(vi) The Collateral is not in the name of any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has in its possession all original copies of the security certificates that constitute or evidence the Collateral.

Section 3.24 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On or prior to each Payment Date, the Master Servicer shall determine, based solely on information provided to it by the related Servicer the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month.

(b) With respect to any Notes (other than the Class X Notes) on any Payment Date, the principal portion of each Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows:

first, to the Class B-6 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

second, to the Class B-5 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

third, to the Class B-4 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

fourth, to the Class B-3 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

fifth, to the Class B-2 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

sixth, to the Class B-1 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

seventh, to the Class M Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

eighth, with respect to the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Loans, to the Class A-1 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and with respect to the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Loans, to the Class A-2 Notes until the Note Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Payment Date to any Class or Classes of Notes to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all of the Classes of Notes as of such Payment Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date (such limitation, the “Loss Allocation Limitation”).

(d) The principal portion of any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Notes shall be allocated among the Notes of such Class (other than the Class X Notes) in proportion to their respective Note Principal Balances. Any allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Note Principal Balance of the Notes on the related Payment Date.

(e) Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Payment Date in the month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such Payment Date.

(f) On each Payment Date, the Securities Administrator shall determine the Subordinate Writedown Amount. Any such Subordinate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Note Principal Balance of (i) with respect to the Subordinate Writedown Amount, if prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Class B-6, Class B-5, Class B-4, Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1 and Class M Notes, in that order, and (iii) from and after the Cross-Over Date, to the Senior Notes, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, in each case, on such Payment Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Payment Date.

(g) The interest portion of any Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans occurring on or prior to the Cross-Over Date will be allocated sequentially to the Class B-6, Class B-5, Class B-4, Class X, Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1 and Class M Notes, in that order. Once the aggregate Note Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Classes of Notes have been reduced to zero, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Loans will be allocated to the Class A-1 Notes, and the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Group II Loans will be allocated first to the Class A-2 Notes, in each case in reduction Accrued Note Interest on such Class.

(h) In addition, in the event that the Securities Administrator receives any Subsequent Recoveries from the Servicer or Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall deposit such funds into the Payment Account pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Indenture. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Note Principal Balance of the Notes with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more

than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class or Classes of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.24. The amount of any Subsequent Recoveries following the application set forth in the immediately preceding sentence will be applied to sequentially increase the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, beginning with the Class of Notes with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class or Classes of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.24. Holders of such Notes will not be entitled to any payments in respect of Accrued Note Interest on the amount of such increases for any Accrual Period preceding the Payment Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Note Principal Balance of the Notes of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

Section 3.25 Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Payment Account. (a) The Securities Administrator will, from time to time on demand of the Master Servicer, make or cause to be made such withdrawals or transfers from the Payment Account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or as the Securities Administrator has instructed hereunder for the following purposes (limited in the case of amounts due the Master Servicer to those not withdrawn from the Master Servicer Collection Account) but not in any order of priority:

(ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds relating to a particular Mortgage Loan for amounts expended by the Master Servicer or such Servicer in good faith in connection with the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property which was damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds relating to a particular Mortgage Loan for insured expenses incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds from a particular Mortgage Loan for Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses with respect to a Mortgage Loan to the extent that (i) any amounts with respect to such Mortgage Loan were paid as Excess Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to clause (viii) of this Subsection 3.25 (a) to the Master Servicer; and (ii) such Liquidation Expenses were not included in the computation of such Excess Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer for advances of funds (other than Monthly Advances) made with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and the right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, the Repurchase Price therefor,

Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made;

(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Servicer for any Monthly Advance or advance, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with respect to the related Mortgage Loan if the Monthly Advance or advance has not been reimbursed pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv);

(vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, to the extent that the Master Servicer has not already reimbursed itself for such amounts from the Master Servicer Collection Account;

(viii) to pay to the Master Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, any Excess Liquidation Proceeds to the extent not retained by the Servicer;

(ix) to reimburse or pay the Servicer any such amounts as are due thereto under the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement;

(x) to reimburse or pay the Indenture Trustee, the Grantor Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer any amounts due or expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by or reimbursable to such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or any other Basic Documents, to the extent such amounts have not already been previously paid or reimbursed to such party from the Master Servicer Collection Account;

Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08 hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Notes as to which they are the Beneficial Owners.

Without the consent of the Issuer and the Securities Administrator, no Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as Depository, the Depositor may appoint a successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30 days of the effective date of the Depository’s resignation or removal, each Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Notes it beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.

(B) a Subsequent Transfer of a Senior Note or Privately Offered Note) or interest therein shall be made, and the Note Registrar shall refuse to register any such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition, unless the transferee shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto certifying that (i) it is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) within the meaning of Section 856(a), or a qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”) within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from a REIT or a QRS and (ii) following the transfer, 100% of the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class M Notes, Class B-1 Notes, Class B-2 Notes, Class B-3 Notes, Class X Notes, Class B-4 Notes, Class B-5 Notes, or Class B-6 Notes and Certificates (other than (1) any Class A-1 Notes or Class A-2 Notes with respect to which a Tax Transfer Certificate or a “will be debt” opinion rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel has been furnished to the Securities Administrator or (2) any Class M Notes, Class B-1 Notes, Class B-2 Notes, Class B-3 Notes, Class X Notes, Class B-4 Notes, Class B-5 Notes, or Class B-6 Notes with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator) will be owned by a single REIT, directly or indirectly through one or more QRSs of such REIT or one or more entities disregarded as entities separate from such REIT or such QRSs; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any Senior Notes or Privately Offered Notes may be pledged to secure indebtedness and may be the subject of repurchase agreements treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, and (y) any Senior Notes or Privately Offered Notes may be transferred by the related lender under any such related loan agreement or repurchase agreement upon a default under any such indebtedness, in which case the transferor shall deliver to the Note Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G certifying to such effect.

Initial Transfer shall mean, with respect to a Senior Note or Privately Offered Note, the initial transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note (other than a pledge of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note to secure indebtedness or the transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note pursuant to a repurchase agreement treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes) by a REIT which is the owner, directly or through one or more QRSs or disregarded entities of 100% of all Certificates and all Senior Notes and Privately Offered Notes other than those with respect to which a Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion previously was furnished to the Securities Administrator, in connection with which a Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion is furnished to the Securities Administrator; provided, that, if a REIT which is the owner, directly or through one or more QRSs or entities disregarded as entities separate from such REIT or QRSs, of 100% of all Certificates and all Senior Notes and Privately Offered Notes other than those with respect to which a Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion previously was furnished to the Securities Administrator reacquires any such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note, then the initial transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note by such REIT after such reacquisition shall be treated as an Initial Transfer requiring a new Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion and not as a Subsequent Transfer; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that if Notes are transferred to any Person in a transfer with respect to which a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto is required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator and certain other parties, then (1) such transfer of such Notes to such Person shall not be treated as an Initial Transfer or a Subsequent Transfer and (2) the initial transfer of any Senior Note or Privately Offered Note (other than a pledge of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note to secure indebtedness or the

transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note pursuant to a repurchase agreement treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes) by such Person shall be treated as an Initial Transfer requiring a new Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion and not as a Subsequent Transfer.

Subsequent Transfer shall mean a transfer of a Senior Note or Privately Offered Note with respect to which a Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion has been furnished to the Securities Administrator; provided, that, if a REIT which is the owner, directly or through one or more QRSs or entities disregarded as entities separate from such REIT or QRSs, of 100% of all Certificates and all Senior Notes and Privately Offered Notes other than those with respect to which a Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion previously was furnished to the Securities Administrator reacquires any such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note, then the initial transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note by such REIT after such reacquisition shall be treated as an Initial Transfer requiring a new Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion and not as a Subsequent Transfer; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that if Notes are transferred to any Person in a transfer with respect to which a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto is required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator and certain other parties, then (1) such transfer of such Notes to such Person shall not be treated as an Initial Transfer or a Subsequent Transfer and (2) the initial transfer of any Senior Note or Privately Offered Note (other than a pledge of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note to secure indebtedness or the transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note pursuant to a repurchase agreement treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes) by such Person shall be treated as an Initial Transfer requiring a new Tax Transfer Certificate or “will be debt” opinion and not as a Subsequent Transfer; provided, further, that if any Senior Note or Privately Offered Note has been transferred to a lender upon a default under any secured indebtedness or has been transferred to a counterparty to a repurchase agreement and a default subsequently occurs with respect to such repurchase agreement, and such lender or repurchase agreement counterparty furnishes, or causes to be furnished, to the Securities Administrator (x) in the case of a Senior Note, a Tax Transfer Certificate or a “will be debt” opinion rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel or (y) in the case of a Privately Offered Note, a “will be debt” opinion rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel, then the transfer of such Senior Note or Privately Offered Note by such secured lender or a repurchase agreement counterparty shall be treated as a Subsequent Transfer.

Subject to the foregoing, and Section 4.08, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and in authorized initial Note Principal Balances evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interests upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located or having a correspondent located in the city of New York. Notes delivered upon any such transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Notes surrendered.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

The Issuer hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as (i) Certificate Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Trust Agreement and (ii) Note Registrar under this Indenture. The Securities Administrator hereby accepts such appointments.

Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Securities Administrator harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Securities Administrator that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; 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, 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 of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Securities Administrator 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, 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, the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the Issuer 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 Securities Administrator) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 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.

The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Issuer, the Securities Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 4.05 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Securities Administrator, be delivered to the Securities Administrator and shall be promptly cancelled by the Securities Administrator. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuer Request is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Securities Administrator.

Section 4.06 Form of Notes. The Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 4.08. With respect to such Notes, unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:

(i)

the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force and effect;

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

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall control;

(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners of Notes and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make

book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Depository Participants; and

(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Principal Balances of the Notes, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage with respect to the Notes only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee.

None of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests or transfers thereof.

The Class Class M, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class X, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Notes will be registered in definitive form.

Section 4.07 Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.

Section 4.08 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor, at its option (with the consent of the Securities Administrator, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, then the Securities Administrator shall request that the Depository notify all Beneficial Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Note Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Note evidencing such Noteholder’s interest in the related Class of Notes. In order to make such request, such Noteholder shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository

or the related Depository Participant with directions for the Securities Administrator to exchange or cause the exchange of the Noteholder’s interest in such Class of Notes for an equivalent interest in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator of instructions from the Depository directing the Securities Administrator to effect such exchange (such instructions to contain information regarding the Class of Notes and the Note Principal Balance being exchanged, the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered holder of and delivery instructions for the Definitive Note, and any other information reasonably required by the Securities Administrator), (i) the Securities Administrator shall instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant’s account by the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Definitive Note, (ii) the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a Definitive Note evidencing such Noteholder’s interest in such Class of Notes and (iii) the Issuer shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate a new Book-Entry Note reflecting the reduction in the Note Principal Balance of such Class of Notes by the amount of the Definitive Notes.

Section 4.09 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, such Classes of Notes will qualify as indebtedness at any time at which such Notes are treated as issued and outstanding for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer and the Securities Administrator (in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof), by entering into this Indenture, and each Class A-1 Noteholder and Class A-2 Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (and each Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat such Classes of Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness at any time at which such Notes are treated as issued and outstanding for federal income tax purposes.

Section 4.10 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (iii) rights of Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.09, 3.17, 3.19 and 3.20, (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Indenture Trustee and Securities Administrator hereunder (including the rights of the Securities Administrator under Section 6.08 and the obligations of the Securities Administrator under Section 4.11), and (vi) the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Securities Administrator payable to all or any of them, and the Indenture 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 shall release and deliver, or cause the Custodian to deliver, the Collateral to or upon the order of the Issuer, when

(A)

either

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 hereof and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 3.03) have been delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation; or

(2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation

have become due and payable,

will become due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date within one year, or

have been called for early redemption and the Trust has been terminated pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof,

and the Issuer, in the case of a. or b. above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Securities Administrator cash or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes then outstanding not theretofore delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation when due on the Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date and has delivered to the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a verification report from a nationally recognized accounting firm certifying that the amounts deposited with the Securities Administrator are sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness of such Notes, or, in the case of c. above, the Issuer shall have complied with all requirements of Section 8.06 hereof,

(B)

the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder; and

(C)

the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01 hereof, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made in connection with Section 4.10(A)(2)b. above, such opinion shall further be to the effect that such deposit will constitute an “in-substance defeasance” within the meaning of Revenue Ruling 85-42, 1985-1 C.B. 36, and in accordance therewith, the Issuer will be the owner of the assets deposited in trust for federal income tax purposes.

Section 4.11 Application of Trust Money. All monies deposited with the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent or the Certificate Paying Agent as designee of the Issuer, as the Securities Administrator may determine, to the Holders of Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest or otherwise; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or required by law.

Section 4.12

[Reserved].

Section 4.13 Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all monies then held by any Person other than the Securities Administrator under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Securities Administrator to be held

and applied according to Section 3.03 and thereupon such Person shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

Section 4.14 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of any Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute and upon its written direction, the Securities Administrator may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

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

Section 4.15 Representation Regarding ERISA. By acquiring a Class A-1 Note and Class A-2 Note or interest therein, each Holder of such Note or Beneficial Owner of any such interest will be deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring such Note with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) the Notes are rated investment grade or better and such person believes that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, and agrees to so treat the Notes. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Notes, such person may provide the Securities Administrator and the Note Registrar with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Note Registrar, the Master Servicer or any servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture and the other Basic Documents.

No transfer of any Privately Offered Notes or any interest therein shall be made to any Person unless the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar that the purchase of the Notes is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Note Registrar to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities

Administrator, the Notes Registrar or the Master Servicer. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a Person acquiring the Notes may provide a certification in the form each attached hereto as paragraph 3 of Exhibit C or clause (d) of Exhibit D, which the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Note Registrar may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Notes by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets of any Plan) and the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Note Register shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Note Register, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

ARTICLE V

Default and Remedies

Section 5.01 Events of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days after learning of the occurrence of a Default, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of “Event of Default”, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer and such notice references the Notes, the Trust Estate or this Indenture.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Holders of the Senior Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes may declare such Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if such notice is given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Principal Balance of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, Holders of the Senior Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may, subject to Section 5.12, waive the related Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee or Securities Administrator a sum sufficient to pay:

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

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

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

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

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Senior Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Senior Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes, pay to the Securities Administrator, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.15 hereof, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.15 hereof, may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balances of each Class of Senior Notes, 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 Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Notes, 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 Indenture 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 Senior Notes and to file such

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

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf, and

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

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

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

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, subject to Section 5.05 hereof.

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee

shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

Section 5.04 Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.15 hereof, may, and shall at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 hereof):

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

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

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes;

(iv) exercise its rights as Holder of the Class A Grantor Trust Certificate pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Grantor Trust Agreement (provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise its rights under such Section 7.02 unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); and

(v) 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 Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes then outstanding, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders of the Senior Notes are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Senior Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Senior Notes as they would have become due if the Senior Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Notes then outstanding, voting separately. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) 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 Trust Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer (other than any

Servicer as to which an Event of Servicer Termination has occurred and is continuing) as provided in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, the Securities Administrator shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, Master Servicer the Custodian and the Servicer for amounts due and not previously paid pursuant to the Indenture and the other Basic Documents;

SECOND: to the Class A-1 Noteholders and Class A-2 Noteholders, pro rata, for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes with respect to interest (not including any Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts), according to the amounts due and payable on each such Notes for interest;

THIRD: to the Class A-1 Noteholders and Class A-2 Noteholders, pro rata, for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes with respect to principal, and to each such Noteholder ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, until the Note Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero;

FOURTH: to the Class A-1 Noteholders and Class A-2 Noteholders, pro rata, in each case based on the amount of any Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts not previously paid;

FIFTH: first, to the Class M Noteholders, second, to the Class B-1 Noteholders, third, to the Class B-2 Noteholders, and fourth, to the Class B-3 Noteholders, according to the amounts due and payable on such Classes of Notes for interest and principal;

SIXTH: to the Class X Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes with respect to interest;

SEVENTH: first, to the Class B-4 Noteholders, second, to the Class B-5 Noteholders and third, to the Class B-6 Noteholders, according to the amounts due and payable on such Classes of Notes for interest and principal; and

EIGHTH: to the holders of the Owner Trust Certificates on behalf of the Issuer.

The Securities Administrator may fix a record date and Payment Date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before such record date, the Securities Administrator shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest

on the Senior Notes and other obligations of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

Section 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note 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 and subject to the foregoing and the provisions of Section 10.15 hereof:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes have made a written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice of request and offer of indemnity, has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Note Principal Balances of the Senior Notes.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes 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 Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

Subject to the last paragraph of Section 5.11 herein, in the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as requested by the Holders representing the highest amount (in the aggregate) of the Note Principal Balances, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Senior Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this

Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee 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 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or 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 V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11 Control By Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of Senior Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

(ii) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes or the Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Notes then outstanding, voting separately as set forth in Section 5.04(a) hereof; and

(iii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction of the Holders of the Senior Notes representing a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11 the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability.

Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Senior Notes, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Senior Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note and each Beneficial Owner of any interest therein by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Beneficial Owner’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Principal Balances of the Senior Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, 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 shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.15 Sale of Trust Estate. (a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof is expressly subject to the provisions of Sections 5.05 and 5.11(ii) hereof and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless

(1) the Holders of all Senior Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or

(2) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Senior Noteholders under the Notes, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

(3) the Indenture Trustee determines that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 hereof cannot be satisfied (in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05 hereof), and the Holders of Notes representing at least 100% of the Note Principal Balances of the Senior Notes consent to such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).

(c) Subject to this Section 5.15, unless the Holders representing at least 100% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Senior Notes or the Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Notes then outstanding, voting separately as set forth in Section 5.04(a) hereof, have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, shall bid an amount (which shall include the Indenture Trustee’s right, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee, to credit bid) at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate on behalf of the Noteholders.

(d)

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

(1) any Holder or Holders of Notes 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 may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

(2) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make

settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes and Holders of Certificates on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(3) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance, prepared by the Issuer and satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;

(4) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and

(5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.

Section 5.16 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be applied by the Securities Administrator in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof.

(e) For the limited purpose of effecting any action to be undertaken by each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, but not specifically as a duty of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator in the Indenture, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any

Section 6.03 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee, subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 6.06 Notice of Event of Default. Subject to Section 5.01, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of Default after it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

Section 6.07

Reports to Holders and Tax Administration.

The Securities Administrator shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required and such other customary information as the Securities Administrator may determine and/or be required by the Internal Revenue Service or by a federal or state law or rules or regulations to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed), on behalf of the Owner Trustee, all tax returns (if any) and information reports, tax elections and such annual or other reports of the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of tax returns and information reports as provided in Section 5.03 of the Trust Agreement, including without limitation Form 1099. All tax returns and information reports shall be signed by the Owner Trustee or to the extent permitted by law, the Securities Administrator as provided in Section 5.03 of the Trust Agreement.

Section 6.08 Compensation. An annual fee shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer pursuant to a separate agreement between the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer. In addition, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator will each be entitled to recover from the Payment Account pursuant to Section 3.25 of this Indenture all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) or otherwise incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Noteholders as provided herein. Such compensation and

reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

The Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. In the event that the Indenture Trustee determines that a conflict of interest exists between the Holders of the Class A Notes and the Holders of any Class of Privately Offered Notes, then the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to resign as the indenture trustee for all Classes of Notes other than the Class A Notes. In such event the Holders of a majority of Note Principal Balances of all of the Privately Offered Notes shall designate a separate indenture trustee to represent their interests hereunder. Holders of a majority of Note Principal Balances of each Class of Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator fails to comply with or qualify pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.12 hereof;

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

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

(iv) the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

(v) the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Servicing Agreement.

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

If a successor Indenture Trustee or successor Securities Administrator does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee or the retiring Securities Administrator, as applicable, resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee or the retiring Securities Administrator, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Note Principal Balances of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee or successor Securities Administrator.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee or the retiring Securities Administrator.

The Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Issuer with prior written notice, and the Noteholders with prompt written notice, of any such transaction.

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

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

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

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

Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of

its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

The aggregate redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) for the Notes will be equal to 100% of the aggregate outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes as of the Payment Date on which the proposed redemption will take place in accordance with the foregoing, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Note Interest Rate through such Payment Date (including any related Net Interest Shortfall and Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amount), plus an amount sufficient to pay in full all amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, pursuant to any Basic Document (which amounts shall be specified in writing upon request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, as applicable).

In addition, the Majority Certificateholder shall, not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed Payment Date on which such redemption is to be made, deposit the Redemption Price specified in (a) above with the Securities Administrator, who shall deposit the Redemption Price into the Payment Account and shall, on the Payment Date after receipt of the funds, apply such funds to make final payments of principal and interest on the Notes in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof and payment to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer as set forth in (a) above, and this Indenture shall be discharged subject to the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof.

Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 or adversely affect the indebtedness status of any Classes of Notes with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator and (iii) such indenture supplement does not materially and adversely affect the transfer restrictions with respect to the Senior Notes set forth in Section 4.02.

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

(b) The Issuer, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request, in the case of the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes and prior notice to the Rating Agency, enter into an 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 Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) is permitted by this Indenture, (ii) shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder, (iii) if 100% of the Certificates and Privately Offered Notes (other than any Privately Offered Notes with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator) are not owned by the Investor, shall not cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax for federal income tax purpose and (iv) such action does not materially and adversely affect the transfer restrictions with respect to the Senior Notes set forth in Section 4.02.

Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request in the case of the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and, with the consent Holders of not less than a majority of the Note Principal Balance of each Class of Notes affected thereby, by Act (as defined in Section 10.03 hereof) of such Holders delivered to the Issuer, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an 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 Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:

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

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

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

(iv) reduce the percentage of the Note Principal Balances of the Notes, or any Class of Notes, required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof;

(v) modify any provision of this Section 9.02 except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby;

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

(vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture;

and provided, further, that (i) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Issuer, if 100% of the Senior Notes, Privately Offered Notes and Certificates (other than any Senior Notes or Privately Offered Notes with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator) are not owned by the Investor, to be subject to an entity level tax for federal income tax purposes and (ii) such action does not materially and adversely affect the transfer restrictions with respect to the Senior Notes set forth in Section 4.02.

Any such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder (other than a Holder who shall consent to such supplemental indenture) as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such supplemental indenture) delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Securities Administrator

shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Securities Administrator to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel not at the expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator each may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator, 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 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.06 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Securities Administrator shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Securities Administrator as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Securities Administrator shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Securities Administrator and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Securities Administrator in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE X

Miscellaneous

Section 10.01 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

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

(1) 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;

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

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

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

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

(ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate from a nationally recognized accounting firm as to the same

matters, if the fair value of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Note Principal Balances of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then outstanding Note Principal Balances of the Notes.

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

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

Section 10.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

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

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

Section 10.03 Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein 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 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.03 hereof.

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

(c)

The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Registrar.

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

Section 10.04 Notices etc., to Indenture Trustee Issuer, Securities Administrator and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer;

(ii) the Securities Administrator by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Securities Administrator at ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, P.O. Box 98, Columbia Maryland 21046 (or, in the case of overnight deliveries, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇), Attn: BART 2005-5, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other parties hereto in writing. The Securities Administrator shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer; or

(iii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Bear ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ARM Trust 2005-5, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Square North, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, mailed first-class postage pre-paid: in the case of Moody’s, to Moody’s, at the following address: ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc., ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; and in the case of S&P, Standard & Poor’s, a division of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc., ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

Section 10.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

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

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

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

Section 10.06 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

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

Section 10.07 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 10.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 10.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.10 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

Section 10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS, WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 10.12 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 10.13 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 at its expense (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 10.14 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Securities Administrator on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

Section 10.15 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, by entering into this Indenture, each Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time prior to one year from the date of termination hereof, institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents; provided however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Indenture Trustee from filing proofs of claim in any proceeding.

Section 10.16 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, at its expense, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Administrator may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

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

BEAR ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ARM TRUST 2005-5 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[____________________] in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in August 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring in [__________ 20___] (the “Final Scheduled Payment Date”) and to pay interest on the Note Principal Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Mortgage-Backed Notes, Series 2005-5 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of July 14, 2005 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as Securities Administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) and to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Principal Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Principal Balance thereof, minus (i) all amounts distributed in respect of principal with respect to such Class of Notes and (ii) the aggregate amount of any reductions in the Note Principal Balance thereof deemed to have occurred in connection with allocations of Realized Losses on all prior Payment Dates in accordance with the Indenture, taking account of its applicable Loss Allocation Limitation, plus (iii) any Subsequent Recoveries allocated thereto.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is

legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class A-[1][2] Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

The Mortgage Loans are subject to purchase in whole, but not in part, by the Majority Certificateholder on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the prior Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class A-[1][2] Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class A-[1][2] Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office designated by the Securities Administrator or the Office or agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note, shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Principal Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Principal Balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

The failure to pay any Net Interest Shortfall at any time when funds are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring the Note with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of a Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) the Notes are rated investment grade or better and such person believes that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat the Notes. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Notes, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Note Registrar or any servicer, which opines that the acquisition, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture and the other Basic Documents.

No transfer of this note shall be made, unless (A) (I) In the case of an Initial Transfer (as defined in the indenture) of this Note, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the indenture (a “Tax Transfer Certificate”) has been furnished to the Securities Administrator or (y) a “will be debt” opinion shall have been rendered by a nationally recognized tax counsel with respect to it and furnished to the Securities Administrator, or (ii) an Initial Transfer of a Privately Offered Note with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator or (B) in the case of a Subsequent Transfer (as defined in the indenture) of this Note, the transferee shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a certificate certifying that (1) it is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) within the meaning of section 856(a) of the code or a qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”) within the meaning of section 856(i) of the code or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from a REIT or a QRS and (2) following the transfer, 100% of the Subordinate Notes and Certificates (other than any Subordinate Notes with respect to which a “will be debt” opinion has been rendered by nationally recognized tax counsel and furnished to the Securities Administrator) will be owned

by a REIT, directly or indirectly through one or more QRSs of such REIT or one or more entities disregarded as entities separate from such REIT or such QRSs; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) this note may be pledged to secure indebtedness and may be the subject of repurchase agreements treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, and (y) this note may be transferred by a related lender under any such related loan agreement or repurchase agreement upon a default under any such indebtedness, in which case the transferor shall deliver to the Note Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a certificate certifying to such effect.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate then outstanding Note Principal Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Issuer, the Securities Administrator or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note, and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Securities Administrator, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer, the Securities Administrator or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of each Class of Notes affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes, to waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, following prior notice to the Rating Agencies, to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, the Notes will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for the Notes. The Notes will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate then outstanding Note Principal

Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, nor any of its respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made solely by the Trust to the extent of the assets of the Trust. The holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Trust Estate for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in this Note.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, nor any of its respective

partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made solely by the Trust to the extent of the assets of the Trust.

In connection with such transfer and in accordance with the agreements pursuant to which the Rule 144A Securities were issued, the Seller hereby certifies the following facts: Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A Securities, any interest in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the Rule 144A Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or that would render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any person other than the Buyer or another “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.

e. The Buyer is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and has completed either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 or Annex 2.
