Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum initial denominations of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that one Note may be issued in a different denomination.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee shall establish and cause to be maintained an account owned by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer for the collection of payments from the Indenture Collateral (the “Class A-1 Notes Account”). Any amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Notes Account shall remain uninvested. The Indenture Trustee shall ensure that the Class A-1 Notes Account is established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution with which any of the Class A-1 Notes Account established pursuant to this Indenture is established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Indenture Trustee shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a replacement account at a Qualified Institution after notice of such event. The Indenture Trustee shall make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to Section 3.03 and as provided in Section 3.05 herein from moneys on deposit in the Class A-1 Notes Account.

Section 3.02.   Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer will maintain with the Indenture Trustee an office or agency where, subject to satisfaction of conditions set forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 3.03.   Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust; Paying Agent.

The Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee as Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. As provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Class A-1 Notes Account pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Class A-1 Notes Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.03 and in Section 8.02.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional paying agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, that, no Paying Agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction that subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

13

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:

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

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

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

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

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

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on an Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for repurchase or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.06. Protection of Indenture Collateral.

In connection therewith, the Issuer shall cause to be delivered into the possession of the Indenture Trustee as pledgee hereunder, indorsed in blank, any “instruments” (within the meaning of the UCC), not constituting part of chattel paper, evidencing any part of the Indenture Collateral. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that it holds the Indenture Collateral delivered to it pursuant to this Indenture for the benefit of the Holders.

ARTICLE IV                                                  THE NOTES; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 4.01. The Notes.

(a)                                  Certain of the Notes shall be registered initially in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in such Notes through the book–entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of $500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to subsections 4.02(b), (p), (q) and (r), the Notes shall be issued in such names and denominations as may be set forth on an Issuer Order delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

(b)                                 The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Indenture Trustee to or upon the order of the Issuer.

(c)                                  The Notes may be held only by U.S. Persons.

Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a)                                  The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept a Note Register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note Register shall contain the name, remittance instructions, the series and the number in the series.

(b)                                 The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $500,000 initial principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Note may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Notes shall equal the Initial Principal Balance. On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will execute and authenticate one or more (i) Global Notes and/or (ii) Individual Notes all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Initial Principal Balance.

(c)                                  The Global Notes shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions, shall be delivered by the Issuer on behalf of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian, and in each case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Note Registrar or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in

22

the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.”

The Global Notes may be deposited with such other Depository as the Issuer may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate; provided, that, such successor Depository maintains a book–entry system that qualifies to be treated as “registered form” under Section 163(f)(3) of the Code.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a Letter of Representations with the Depository relating to the Notes.

(d)                                 With respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants or Beneficial Owners for which the Depository holds Notes from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to the ownership interest in the Notes, (b) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Holder of a Note, (c) the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Holder of a Note as shown in the Note Register, of any amount with respect to any distribution of principal or interest on the Notes or (d) the making of book–entry transfers among Participants of the Depository with respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of the nominee of the Depository. No Person other than a registered Holder of a Note as shown in the Note Register shall receive a Note evidencing such Note.

(e)                                  Upon delivery by the Depository to the Indenture Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment of distributions by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered Holders of Notes appearing as registered Owners in the Note Register on a Record Date, the name “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.

(f)                                    In the event that the Depository advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the Global Notes and the Indenture Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor, the Global Notes shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that time, the Indenture Trustee may determine that the Global Notes shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a global book–entry system, as may be acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, or such depository’s agent or designee but, if the Indenture Trustee does not select such alternative global book–entry system, then upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Global Notes by the Depository, accompanied by the registration

instructions from the Depository for registration, the Indenture Trustee authenticate Individual Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Notes, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, any Paying Agent and the Issuer shall recognize the Holders of the Individual Notes as Holders hereunder.

(g)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Global Notes are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal and interest on such Global Notes and all notices with respect to such Global Notes shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations.

(h)                                 Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar and, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Issuer shall execute in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note or Notes of the same Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication by the Indenture Trustee. The Note Registrar shall notify the Indenture Trustee of any such transfer.

(i)                                     At the option of a Holder, the Notes held by such Holder may be exchanged for other Notes in authorized denominations, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute the Notes which such Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by wiring instructions, if applicable, in the form of Exhibit B. The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of Notes called for repurchase.

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

All Notes surrendered for payment, transfer and exchange or repurchase shall be marked canceled by the Note Registrar and retained for one year and destroyed thereafter.

(k)                                  By acceptance of an Individual Note, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Note set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Note only as provided herein. In addition to the provisions of subsection 4.02(m) and (n) the following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Note to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Note:

(i)                                     The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Note if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has provided the Note Registrar with a Rule 144A Certification; or

(ii)                                  The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of any Individual Note if (x) the transferor has advised the Note Registrar in writing that the Note is being

24

transferred to a U.S. Person that is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser; and (y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Note Registrar a Transferee Letter; provided, that, if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the delivery of (x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws, the Note Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish other certifications, legal opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual Note.

(1)                                  Subject to subsection 4.02(n), so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Note, or transfers by Holders of Individual Notes to transferees that take delivery in the form of beneficial interests in the Global Note, may be made only in accordance with the rules of the Depository.

(m)                               Transfers of Interests in Global Notes to Individual Notes. Any and all transfers from a Global Note to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Note will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Note described on the face of such Note, and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Note only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Note Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this subsection 4.02(m).

(i)                                     Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a U.S. Person who is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser will require delivery of such Note to the transferee in the form of an Individual Note and the Note Registrar shall register such transfer only if prior to the transfer such transferee furnishes to the Note Registrar (1) a Transferee Letter to the effect that the transfer is being made to U.S. Person who is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Securities Act, and (2) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Indenture Trustee that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act.

(ii)                                  Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a U.S. Person who is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Note will be registered by the Note Registrar only if the Note Registrar is provided with a Rule 144A Certification.

(n)                                 Transfers of Individual Notes to a Global Note. If a Holder of an Individual Note wishes at any time to transfer such Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, and this subsection 4.02(n). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) the Individual Note to be transferred with an assignment and transfer, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in such Global Note in an amount equal to the denomination of the Individual Note to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the

25

Depository Participant to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) a Transferee Letter from the transferee of such interest to the effect that such transferee is a U.S. Person who is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser, the Note Registrar shall cancel such Individual Note, execute and deliver a new Individual Note for the denomination of the Individual Note not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder, and the Note Registrar shall instruct the Depository to increase the denomination of the Global Note by the denomination of the Individual Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a corresponding denomination of the Global Note.

It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not both a U.S. Person and a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note.

(o)                                 An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for an Individual Note or Notes, an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for a beneficial interest in a Global Note and an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for another Individual Note or Notes (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer) may be made only in accordance with this Section 4.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures.

(p)                                 (i)                                     Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Note for a beneficial interest in the Global Note as provided herein, the Note Registrar shall cancel such Individual Note and shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the applicable Global Note (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and an increase in the Note balance of the Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note exchanged or transferred therefor.

(ii)                                  Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note for an Individual Note as provided herein, the Note Registrar shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the Global Note (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the Note balance of the Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

(q)                                 The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Note issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Note or of a beneficial interest in the Global Note.

(r)                                    Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 4.02, the Holder of any Individual Note may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (in an initial Note balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination of $500,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Note at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or

26

its nominee) to notify the Note Registrar in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Note or Notes. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Note Registrar shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request made at such Corporate Trust Office, cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and the Note Registrar to deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Note or Notes, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Percentage Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Note shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney–in–fact.

(s)                                  No transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and laws. No transfer of any Note shall be made if such transfer would require the Issuer to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. In the event of any such transfer, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Indenture Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer. The Holder of a Note desiring to effect such transfer shall, and by accepting a Note and the benefits of this Indenture does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Initial Purchasers intends or is obligated to register or qualify any Note under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

Subject to UCC Section 8–405, if (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for repurchase, 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 protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such

27

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 protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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 Indenture Trustee) 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. Payment of Principal and Interest; Extension of Maturity Date;  Defaulted Interest.

(a)                                  The Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of twelve 30-day months in a 360-day year. Any interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date, by wire transfer or, if no account information is provided, by check mailed first–class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Global Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 4.02, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Depository (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Person and except for the payment of principal payable with respect to such Note on the Maturity Date. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

(b)                                 The principal balance of each Outstanding Note shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Scheduled Maturity Date. It is anticipated that the Issuer will redeem fully the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Scheduled Maturity Date. The Issuer shall deliver an irrevocable notice in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Redemption Notice”) to the Indenture Trustee of such intent to redeem at any time on or after September 1, 2019, but prior to October 1, 2019.

(c)                                  If on October 1, 2019, the Issuer has not delivered to the Indenture Trustee a Redemption Notice, the Indenture Trustee will provide written notice to each Holder that (A) no such Redemption Notice has been received and (B) the Indenture Trustee will be obligated to

28

extend the maturity of the Notes to the Extended Maturity Date unless instructed, on or before October 21, 2019, by the Majority Holders not to extend such maturity.

(d)                                 If on October 1, 2019, the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a Redemption Notice, the Indenture Trustee will provide written notice to each Holder that (A) such Redemption Notice has been received and (B) that, in the event the Issuer fails to so redeem the Notes on the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Indenture Trustee will be obligated to extend the maturity of the Notes to the Extended Maturity Date unless instructed, on or before October 21, 2019, by the Majority Holders not to extend such maturity.

(e)                                  If (i) in connection with the provisions of Section 4.04(c), the Indenture Trustee does not receive instructions from the Majority Holders not to extend by October 21, 2019, or (ii) in connection with the provisions of Section 4.04(d), the Issuer fails to so redeem the Notes on the Scheduled Maturity Date and the Indenture Trustee does not receive by October 21, 2019, instruction from the Majority Holders not to extend the term of the Notes, then in each case the term of the Notes shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date. Upon such Extended Maturity Date, the Indenture Trustee shall apply the proceeds from the Indenture Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02(d). If the Indenture Trustee does receive instructions from the Majority Holders not to extend, then the term of the Notes shall not be extended, and the Indenture Trustee shall exercise remedies available pursuant to Article V.

(f)                                    If an extension of the Maturity Date is made, in consideration of such extension, the Class A-1 Note Interest Rate shall be increased (for the period beginning on the Scheduled Maturity Date and extending to the Extended Maturity Date) to the Class A-1 Note Extension Interest Rate.

(g)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Majority Holders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments among the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with repurchase of Notes shall be mailed to Holders as provided in Section 10.02.

Section 4.05. Tax Treatment.

The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, business and franchise tax purposes, (i) the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Indenture Collateral and (ii) the Issuer shall not be treated as an association, taxable mortgage pool or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Holder, by the acceptance of any such Note (and each Beneficial Owner of a Note, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Note),

29

agree to treat such Notes for federal, state and local income, business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness. Each Holder of such Note agrees that it will cause any beneficial owner of such Note acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment of indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this Section 4.05. The parties hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as applicable, of any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701–3 or any corresponding provision of applicable state law, whereby the Issuer or any portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and, except as required by law or the terms of this Indenture, shall not file tax returns or obtain any federal employer identification number for the Issuer, but shall treat the Issuer as a security device and as a disregarded entity for federal and any applicable state income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.

Section 4.06. 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 Holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.15, 4.05, 6.07, 10.15 and the second sentence of 10.16, and (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Indenture Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.07), 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 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 Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or

(2)                                  all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation have been indefeasibly redeemed in full, and all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture have been completely discharged, whether on the Maturity Date or earlier as provided in this Indenture; and

(B)                                the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01 and, subject to Section 10.01, stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes have been complied with (or, in the case of obligations of the Issuer which survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, stating that such obligations are currently being complied with); and

(C)                                By acceptance of any Note, the Holder thereof agrees to surrender such Note to the Indenture Trustee promptly upon such Holder’s receipt of the Outstanding principal balance of such Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (if any) thereon.

30

Upon the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate described in subclause (B) above, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee created hereby shall terminate; and the Indenture Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute (i) proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes and (ii) any necessary reconveyance instruments or assignments releasing any remaining Indenture Collateral to the Issuer.

Section 4.07. Application of Trust Money.

All moneys deposited with the Indenture Trustee into the Class A-1 Notes Account 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, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Notes for the payment or repurchase of which such moneys have been deposited with the Indenture Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such moneys need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or required by law.

Section 4.08. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 3.05 and Section 8.02 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

31

(iv)                              there occurs the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any substantial part of the Indenture Collateral in an involuntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Indenture Collateral, or ordering the winding–up or liquidation of the Issuer’s affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days;

The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of an Event of 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 (v) of the definition of “Event of Default,” its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv), 5.01(v), or 5.01(viii)), then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders may declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a

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 Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five (5) Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest 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.

33

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 Indenture Collateral, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c)                                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders and by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the 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, to the Guarantor upon the Guaranty or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Indenture Collateral, 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 the Guarantor or their respective 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, to the Guarantor upon the Guaranty or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as 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 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i)                                     to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes or the Guaranty, as applicable, 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 reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders 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 moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf;

(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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and

34

(v)                                 to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, 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 except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

(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 Holder 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 Holder 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.

(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 Holder a party to any such Proceedings.

Section 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

(a)                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 and Section 5.15):

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

(ii)                                  institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Indenture Collateral or for enforcement of its rights in the Indenture Collateral;

35

(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; and

(iv)                              sell the Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Indenture Collateral following an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of any principal or interest on the Notes for thirty (30) days or more, unless (A) the Holders unanimously consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and accrued and unpaid interest, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Indenture Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, in accordance with their respective terms as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders evidencing 66 2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), 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 Indenture Collateral for such purpose.

(b)                                 If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property pro rata to the Holders.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Payment Date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least five (5) days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Indenture Collateral.

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, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Holders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Indenture Collateral, 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 Indenture Collateral for such purpose.

36

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 provisions of Section 10.17 hereof:

(i)                                     the Indenture Trustee has received from the Issuer or from such Holder a notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)                                  the Holders evidencing 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(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 sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, 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 sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal balance of the 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.

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 Outstanding Principal Balance, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Holders To Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any 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 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 Holder 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 Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any

37

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 Holders 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 Holders 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 Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11. Control by Holders.

The Majority Holders 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)                                  subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall be by Holders of the Notes representing 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes;

(iii)                               subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to terminate or release the Guaranty shall be by Holders of the Notes representing 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes;

(iv)                              if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Indenture Collateral pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall be of no force and effect unless the Holders unanimously consent thereto; and

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

38

Notwithstanding the rights of Holders set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Holders not consenting to such action.

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, the Majority Holders may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders 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 by such Holder’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 Holder, or group of Holders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance or (c) any suit instituted by any Holder 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

39

Section 5.15. Sale of Indenture Collateral.

(a)                                  The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of a Indenture Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 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 Indenture Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Indenture Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. 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 Indenture Collateral, or any portion thereof, unless the Holders of all of the Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make such Sale and:

(i)                                     the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Holders under the Notes, in full payment thereof on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

(ii)                                  the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions for retention of the Indenture Collateral set forth in Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05, and the Majority Holders consent to such Sale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(c)                                  In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral:

(i)                                     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;

(ii)                                  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, Requirements of Law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral 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 as a result of such Sale in accordance with subsection 5.04(b) 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;

40

(iii)                               the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof;

(iv)                              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 Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and

(v)                                 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 moneys.

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 Holders 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 Indenture Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with subsection 5.04(b).

Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Issuer, any issuer of the Installment Notes or the Guarantor of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Installment Notes, the Guaranty and the other the Transaction Documents, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Installment Notes, the Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance of obligations under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VI                          THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a)                                  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs with respect to the Indenture Collateral.

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

41

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

(ii)                                  in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)                                  The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or actions taken in bad faith, except that:

(i)                                     this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

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

(iii)                               the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.

(d)                                 Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section 6.01.

(e)                                  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(f)                                    Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture.

(g)                                 The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability or to honor the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless the Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with the request or direction.

(h)                                 Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

(i)                                     The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust

42

Office has actual knowledge thereof or if such notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 10.09.

Section 6.02. Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a)                                  The Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b)                                 Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate, or, with respect to legal matters, an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

(f)                                    The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the performance of the Issuer under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document or into the matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may make any further inquiry or investigation into those matters that it deems appropriate, and if the Indenture Trustee determines to inquire further, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney.

(g)                                 If the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or as Note Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article shall also be afforded to it in such additional capacities.

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. Any Note Registrar, co–registrar, Paying Agent or

43

co–paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

Section 6.04. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Indenture Trustee (a) shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Limited Liability Company Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the validity or sufficiency of any security interest intended to be created or the characterization of the Notes for tax purposes; (b) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes; and (c) shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 6.05. Notice of Event of Default.

The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of an Event of Default within thirty (30) days after the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof in accordance with Section 6.01. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

Section 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.

The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Holder such information as may be required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In addition, upon the Issuer’s or a Holder’s written request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish information reasonably requested by the Issuer or such Holder that is reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer or such Holder to perform its federal and state income tax reporting obligations.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the tax reporting, disclosure, record keeping or other requirements of the Issuer, if any, under Internal Revenue Code sections 6011(a) or 6112, including, but not limited to, the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision.

Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee (i) on the Closing Date a fee in the amount of $10,000 and (ii) on each Payment Date a fee in the amount of $7,500 (the “Indenture Trustee Fee”). By its execution of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of (A) the initial $10,000 fee and (B) $15,000 representing the prepayment of the $7,500 payments due in connection with the first two (2) Payment Dates. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out–of–pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the

44

Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or under the Limited Liability Company Agreement. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the non-payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.07, and only to the extent that the payment thereof would not result in an Event of Default and the failure to pay such amounts to the Indenture Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.08, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to serve as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Indenture Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder and hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the Indenture Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

Section 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Majority Holders or the Issuer, with the written consent of the Majority Holders, may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

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

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

45

(v)                                 the Indenture Trustee defaults in any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such default.

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

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property (including all Indenture Collateral) held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee and shall execute and deliver such instruments and such other documents as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Holders, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 6.08, the Issuer shall mail notice of such succession hereunder to all Holders of Notes at their addresses as shown in the Note Register at their addresses as shown on the register kept by the Issuer, as provided to the Indenture Trustee. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer.

Section 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that, such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

46

In case 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 any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor 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 it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

Section 6.10.   Appointment of Co—Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons, to act as a co—trustee or co—trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such interest to the Indenture Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co—trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Indenture Trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to the Holders of the appointment of any co—trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.  No appointment of a co—trustee or a separate trustee shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of its duties and obligations hereunder.

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

(i)            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 Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co—trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

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

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

47

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

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

Section 6.11.   Eligibility; Disqualification.

The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) a national banking association or banking corporation or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States, (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, (iv) having unsecured and unguaranteed long—term debt obligations rated at least “Baa3” by Moody’s and “BBB—” by S&P, and (v) is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.

In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Indenture Trustee shall (a) give prompt notice to the Issuer and the Holders that it has so ceased to be eligible to be the Indenture Trustee and (b) resign, upon the request of the Majority Holders in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08.

(e)           The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of any governmental authority or agency regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee.

(a)           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;

(b)           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;

56

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

(e)           if the signer of document is required to be Independent, the Statement required by the definition of the term “Independent”.

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 that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which the 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 an appropriate Person stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the such Person, unless such counsel knows 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 in all material respects, 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 Holders.

(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and

57

evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders 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 Holders 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) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.03.

(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 Register.

(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 and Others.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders 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 Holders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

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

(ii)                the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first–class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: OMX Timber Finance Investments I, LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Holders to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group, and (ii) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Monitoring Group - Asset Finance Group; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the

58

other parties; provided, however, that no notice shall be required to be given to the Rating agencies until the Notes has been rated by such Rating Agency.

Section 10.05.   Notices to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by first–class, postage prepaid to each Holder affected by such event, at his 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 Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders 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 Holders 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 Agencies, 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.   Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.

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

Section 10.07.   Effect of Headings.

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

59

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.   Severability.

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.   Benefits of Indenture.

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

Section 10.11.   Legal Holidays.

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

Section 10.12.   GOVERNING LAW.

(a)              THIS INDENTURE, EACH SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(b)              EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Indenture by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this subsection 11.12(b).

Section 10.13.   Counterparts.

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

Section 10.14.   Issuer Obligation.

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee has 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 shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Section 10.15.   No Petition.

(a)              The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Holder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not prior to the date which is one year and one day or, if longer, the preference period then in effect after payment in full of the Notes rated by any Rating Agency, institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against 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 Transaction Documents.

(b)              Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Notes, this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture and any other Transaction Document are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Indenture Collateral and, following realization of the Indenture Collateral and distribution, any claims of the Holders and the other Secured Parties, and any other parties to any Transaction Document shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had against any officer, administrator, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of the Issuer or their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts payable under the Notes, this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(b) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Indenture Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Indenture Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture or payable under any other Transaction Document until such

61

Indenture Collateral has been realized and distributed, whereupon any such outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished.

Section 10.16.   Inspection; Confidentiality.

The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Issuer’s normal operations, 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, in such reasonable manner, and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives, its legal counsel and its auditors 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 may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all parties to which this Indenture relates may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such investors relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meaning given to such terms under Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).
