Upon any written application or request (or oral application with prompt

stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and that the request
otherwise is in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such
requested action as to which other evidence of satisfaction of the conditions
precedent thereto is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture,
no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
SECTION 1.03. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer delivered to the
Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Officer's Certificate or opinion and
any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters,
upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers
of the Issuer as to such factual matters unless such officer or counsel knows,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any
Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in
which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other
counsel's opinion and shall include
26
a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the
Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Trustee, it is PROVIDED that the Issuer shall
deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as
evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and
accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective
date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and
opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to
the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency
of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to
affect the Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement
or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section 7.01(a)(ii).
Whenever in this Indenture it is PROVIDED that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default or Servicer Event
of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee
at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the
satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to
make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in
accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the
occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default or Servicer
Event of Default. For all purposes of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default nor shall the
Trustee have any duty to monitor or investigate to determine whether a default
has occurred (other than an Event of Default of the kind described in Section
6.01(a)) or Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or shall have been notified in
writing thereof by the Issuer, the Servicer, or any Noteholder.
SECTION 1.04. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS, ETC.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed
in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Noteholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.
27
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of the
same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer
thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, each
Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Trustee hereunder as the special
attorney-in-fact for such Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such
Noteholder to effect and enforce the rights of such Noteholder and the revisions
pursuant hereto for the benefit of such Noteholder; PROVIDED that nothing
contained in this Section 1.04(d) shall be deemed to confer upon the Trustee any
duty or power to vote on behalf of the Noteholders with respect to any matter on
which the Noteholders have a right to vote pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture.
SECTION 1.05. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE, SERVICER, ISSUER AND RATING

Servicer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise

request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of
Noteholders or other document shall be effective until received and any
provision hereof requiring the making, giving, furnishing, or filing of the same
on any date shall be interpreted as requiring the same to be sent or delivered
in such fashion that it will be received on such date. For so long as the Swap
Documents are in effect, the Swap Counterparty shall receive notice of all of
the aforementioned requests, demands, authorizations, directions, notices,
consents, waivers or Acts of Noteholders and copies of all such other documents.

SECTION 1.06. NOTICE TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER.

or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing

requested, or sent by private courier or confirmed telecopy to each Noteholder
affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at its
address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and
not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or
the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders
is mailed, neither the failure to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in
any notice or report so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Noteholders. Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not
be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.
(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to
Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.06(a), of any event or any report to
Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to

such prepayment by certified mail return receipt requested, hand delivery or
overnight courier. Notice of such prepayment having been so given, the remaining
unpaid principal as of the Payment Date fixed for prepayment together with all
interest accrued and unpaid to such Payment Date, shall become due and payable
on such Payment Date.

(c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be

duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the date of

(d) The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and delivered
to the Trustee for authentication together with a Trust Request to the Trustee
directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and thereupon the same

Trust Request.
SECTION 2.03. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Trustee may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of
Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Note
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein
provided.
No transfer of any Class A-2b Note or Class E Note may be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and an effective registration or a qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification because the transfer satisfies one of the
following: (i) such transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a
Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in Rule 144A) that is purchasing for
its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to
whom notice is given that such transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the Securities Act as certified by such transferee in a letter in the form
of Exhibit B hereto; (ii) after the appropriate holding period, such transfer is
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (iii) such transfer is to a transferee who is
an "Accredited Investor" (as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act) in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in
each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the
United States or (iv) such transfer is otherwise exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. If any resale or other transfer of (a) the
Class R Notes is proposed to be made to an Accredited Investor pursuant to
clause (iii) above or (b) the Class A-2b Notes or the Class E Notes is proposed,
the Trustee will require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, that the
Class A-2b Noteholder's, the Class E Noteholder's or Class R Noteholder's
prospective transferee referred to in the preceding clauses (iii) or (iv)
deliver an investment letter certifying to the Issuer and the Trustee as to the
facts surrounding such transfer in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Except in the
case of a transfer of Class A-2b Notes, Class E Notes or Class R Notes to a
transferee referred to in the preceding
35
clause (i) or, in general, a transfer that is to be made after three years from
the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall require an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to it to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from
the Securities Act without such registration (which opinion of counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Servicer or the Issuer). None of the Issuer,
the Servicer or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class A-2b
Notes, Class E Notes or the Class R Notes under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture
to permit the transfer of any Class A-2b Notes, Class E Note or Class R Note
without registration.
The Trustee shall not register the transfer of any Note (other than the
transfer of a Note to the nominee of the Clearing Agency) unless the transferee
has executed and delivered to the Trustee a certification to the effect that
either (i) the transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan (as defined in
Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or (B) a plan
(as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code")) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each of the
foregoing, a "Benefit Plan"), and is not acting on behalf of or investing the
assets of a Benefit Plan, or (ii) the transferee's acquisition and continued
holding of the Note will be covered by a U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption. Each transferee of a book-entry Note shall be
deemed to make one of the foregoing representations.
(b) Each transferee of Class R Notes represented by an interest in a Rule
144A Global Note will be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows (terms
used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act
are used herein as defined therein):
(1) The transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional buyer", (B) is aware
that the sale of the Class R Notes to it is being made in reliance on
the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and (C) is acquiring the Class R Notes for its own
account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a QIB, and as to
each of which the transferee exercises sole investment discretion, and
in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, for the transferee
and for each such account. The transferee has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Class R
Notes, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are
each able to bear the economic risk of the transferee's or its
investment.
(2) The transferee understands that the Class R Notes are being offered
only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United
States within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Class R Notes
have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act,
and, if in the future the transferee decides to offer, resell,
36
pledge or otherwise transfer the Class R Notes, such Class R Notes may
be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in
accordance with the legend on such Class R Notes described above. The
transferee acknowledges that no representation is made by the Issuer
as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or
any state securities laws for resale of the Class R Notes.
(3) The transferee has carefully read and understands the Class R Private
Placement Memorandum, including, without limitation, the "Risk Factor"
section therein, and has based its decision to purchase the Class R
Notes upon the information contained therein and not upon any
information, if any, provided to it by any of the Issuer, the
Placement Agent or any other Person. The transferee is not purchasing
the Class R Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or other
disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The transferee
understands that an investment in the Class R Notes involves certain
risks, including the risk of loss of a substantial part of its
investment under certain circumstances. The transferee has had access
to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the
Class R Notes as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make
an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the
Class R Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions of and
request information from the Placement Agent.
(4) In connection with the transfer of the Class R Notes: (i) none of the
Issuer, the Placement Agent or the Servicer is acting as a fiduciary
or financial or investment adviser for the transferee; (ii) the
transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment
decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations
(whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Placement Agent or the
Servicer other than any in a current private placement memorandum for
such Class R Notes and any representations expressly set forth in a
written agreement with such party; (iii) none of the Issuer, the
Placement Agent or the Servicer has given to the transferee (directly
or indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee, or
representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success,
profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence, or
benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting, or
otherwise) of the Indenture or documentation for the Class R Notes;
(iv) the transferee has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent
it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions
(including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction
pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own judgment
37
and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and
not upon any view expressed by the Issuer; (v) the transferee has
determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the
purchase and sale of the Class R Notes reflect those in the relevant
market for similar transactions; (vi) the transferee is acquiring the
Class R Notes with a full understanding of all of the terms,
conditions and risks thereof (economic and otherwise), and it is
capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise)
those risks; and (vii) the transferee is a sophisticated investor.
(5) The transferee understands that the Class R Notes offered in reliance
on Rule 144A will bear the legend set forth in the form of Class R
Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A, and will be represented by one or
more Rule 144A Global Notes. The Class R Notes may not at any time be
held by or on behalf of U.S. persons that are not QIBs or
institutional accredited investors. Before any interest in a Rule 144A
Global Note may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred
to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a
Definitive Note, the transferor will be required to provide the
Trustee with a written certification (in the form provided as Exhibit
B hereto) as to compliance with the transfer restrictions.
(6) The transferee will not, at any time, offer to buy or offer to sell
the Class R Notes by any form of general solicitation or advertising,
including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or
other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar
medium or broadcast over television or radio or seminar or meeting
whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or
advertisings.
(7) The transferee by its purchase of the Class R Notes, represents that
either (i) it is not a Benefit Plan and is not acting on behalf of or
investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (ii) the transferee's
acquisition and continued holding of such Class R Notes will be
covered by a U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption.
(8) The transferee acknowledges that the Issuer, the Placement Agent and
others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing
acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that, if
any of the acknowledgments, representations or warranties deemed to
have been made by it by or in connection with its purchase of Class R
Notes is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer and
the Placement Agent. If the transferee is acquiring any Class R Notes
as a fiduciary or agent for one or
38
more investor accounts, it shall be deemed to have represented that it
has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and
that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments,
representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.
(c) Subject to Section 2.03(a), upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Note at the office of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 8.02 for
such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee upon request shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate original principal amount. The Trustee shall make a notation on any
such new Note of the amount of principal, if any, that has been paid on such
Note.
(d) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment by the
transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 9.05 not involving any
transfer.
SECTION 2.04. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN NOTES.
(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a
replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to
the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
(c) In case the final installment of principal on any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will at the next Payment Date
become due
39
and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement
Note, pay such Note.
(d) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the
Issuer or the Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed as
a result of the issuance of such replacement Note.
(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.04 in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Notes duly issued hereunder.
(f) The provisions of this Section 2.04 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, as the case may be, all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing
Agency shall be deemed to be imposed
42
upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the holders of the relevant

Note may transfer such Definitive Note by surrendering it at the office or
agency maintained by the Trustee. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of
Definitive Notes bearing such legend, or upon specific written request for
removal of the legend on a Definitive Note, the Trustee will deliver only
Definitive Notes that bear such legend, or will refuse to remove such legend, as
the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Trustee such satisfactory
evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel, as may reasonably be required
by the Trustee that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set
forth therein are required to ensure compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act.
Definitive Notes will not be eligible for clearing or settlement through
DTC, Euroclear or Cedel.
SECTION 2.08. PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL; RIGHTS PRESERVED.
(a) Any installment of interest or principal, payable on any Note that is
punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the
close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer of
federal funds to the account and number specified in the Note Register on such
Record Date for such Person or, if no such account or number is so specified,
then by check mailed to such Person's address as it appears in the Note Register
on such Record Date.
(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note effected by payments
of installments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all
holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
thereof or in exchange therefore or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment
is noted on such Note. All payments on the Notes shall be paid without any
requirement of presentment but each holder of any Note shall be deemed to agree,
by its acceptance of the same, to surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust
Office against payment of the final installment of principal of such Note.
SECTION 2.09. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
registered Noteholder as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and
43
interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION.
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or following
final payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee may be disposed of in the
normal course of its business or as directed by a Trust Order.
SECTION 2.11. NOTEHOLDER LISTS.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Noteholders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act. In the event the Trustee no longer serves as the Note Registrar,
the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) shall furnish to the Trustee at
least five Business Days before each interest payment date (and in all events in
intervals of not more than 6 months) and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders, and the Issuer
shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
SECTION 2.12. TREASURY SECURITIES.
In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, any other obligor upon the Notes or an
Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not outstanding, except
that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible
Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
SECTION 2.13. CALCULATION OF THE LIBOR RATE.
With respect to each Payment Date, LIBOR for the Class A-2a Notes (and
after the Payment Date in March 2001, the Class A-2b Notes) shall be established
by the Trustee and as to any Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR will equal the
London interbank offered rate for Eurodollar deposits for one month which
appears on the Telerate Screen page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the
second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual Period
except with respect to the First Issuance Date, in which case LIBOR has been set
as of April 14, 2000. If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service, or if
44
such service is no longer offered, such other service for displaying LIBOR as
may be selected by the Trustee), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The
"Reference Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be
three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank
market, selected by the Trustee) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the day that
is two LIBOR Business Days prior to the immediately preceding Payment Date to
prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts
approximately equal to the principal amount of the Class A-2a Notes (and after
the Payment Date in March 2001, the Class A-2b Notes) then outstanding (or an
appropriate standard size amount). The Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at
least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of
the quotations. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or
more major banks in New York City, selected by the Trustee, as of 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the first day of the relevant Interest Accrual Period
date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one
month in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of the Class A-2a
Notes (and after the Payment Date in March 2001, the Class A-2b Notes) then
outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for
the prior Payment Date. The Trustee shall provide the Swap Counterparty with
notice as to the calculation of the LIBOR rate for each Interest Accrual Period.
ARTICLE III
ACCOUNTS; INVESTMENT OF MONEYS; COLLECTION
AND APPLICATION OF MONEYS; REPORTS
SECTION 3.01. TRUST ACCOUNTS; INVESTMENTS BY TRUSTEE.
(a) On or before the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Collection Account and the Reserve Account in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Receivable Noteholders to the extent of their interests therein
as provided in this Indenture and in the Assignment and Servicing Agreement
which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts maintained at the Corporate Trust
Office. On or before the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall establish the Residual
Account and the Liquidity Reserve Account in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Residual Noteholders to the extent of their interests therein as
provided in this Indenture and in the Assignment and Servicing Agreement, which
accounts shall be Eligible Accounts maintained at the Corporate Trust Office. On
or before the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall establish the Class A Principal
Payment Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Class A-2a
Noteholders, which account shall be an Eligible Account maintained at the
Corporate Trust Office. On or before the Issuance Date, the Trustee shall
establish the Class A-2 Funding Account in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Class A-2a and Class A-2b Noteholders, which account shall be an
Eligible Account maintained at the Corporate Trust Office.
45
Subject to the further provisions of this Section 3.01(a), the Trustee
shall, upon receipt or upon transfer from another account, as the case may be,
deposit into such accounts all amounts received by it which are required to be
deposited therein in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All such
amounts and all investments made with such amounts, including all income and
other gain from such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in such accounts
as part of the Trust Estate as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the
Trustee in accordance with, and for the purposes specified in the provisions of,
this Indenture.
(b) The Trustee shall hold in trust but shall not be required to deposit in
any account specified in Section 3.01(a) any payment received by it until such
time as the Trustee shall have identified to its reasonable satisfaction the
nature of such payment and, on the basis thereof, the proper account or accounts
into which such payment is to be deposited. In determining into which of the
accounts, if any, referred to above any amount received by the Trustee is to be
deposited, the Trustee may conclusively rely (in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Trustee) on the advice of the Servicer. Unless the Trustee is
advised differently in writing by the Lessee making the payment or by the
Servicer in writing (with the Servicer's instruction controlling), the Trustee
shall assume that any amount remitted to it by such Lessee is to be deposited
into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03. The Trustee may establish
from time to time such deadline or deadlines as it shall determine are
reasonable or necessary in the administration of the Trust Estate after which
all amounts received or collected by the Trustee on any day shall not be deemed
to have been received or collected until the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) Neither the Servicer, Trustee nor the institution then acting as
Trustee shall have any right of set-off with respect to the Collection Account,
the Reserve Account, the Residual Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, the
Class A Principal Payment Account or the Class A-2 Funding Account, or any
investment therein.
(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
all or a portion of the amounts in the Trust Accounts, shall be invested and
reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to a Trust Order or Servicer Order in one or
more Eligible Investments. Subject to the restrictions on the maturity of
investments set forth in Section 3.01(f), each such Trust Order or Servicer
Order may authorize the Trustee to make the specific Eligible Investments set
forth therein, to make Eligible Investments from time to time consistent with
the general instructions set forth therein, or to make specific Eligible
Investments pursuant to instructions received in writing or by telegraph or
facsimile transmission from the employees or agents of the Issuer or the
Servicer, as the case may be, identified therein, in each case in such amounts
as such Trust Order or Servicer Order shall specify. The Issuer agrees to report
as income for financial reporting and tax purposes (to the extent reportable)
all investment earnings on amounts in the Collection Account, the Reserve
Account, the Residual Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, the Class A
Principal Payment Account or the Class A-2 Funding Account. Each of the Issuer
and the Servicer agrees to give appropriate and timely investment directions to
the Trustee so that there will not be more than two Business Days in any one
calendar year at the end of which funds in the Trust Accounts are not invested,
directly or
46
indirectly, pursuant to a Trust Order or a Servicer Order in Eligible
Investments that mature on or after the opening of business on the next Business
Day.
(e) In the event that either (i) the Issuer or the Servicer, as the case
may be, shall have failed to give investment directions to the Trustee by 9:30
A.M., New York City time on any Business Day on which there may be uninvested
cash or (ii) an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Trustee shall promptly
invest and reinvest the funds then in the Collection Account, the Reserve
Account, the Residual Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, the Class A
Principal Payment Account or the Class A-2 Funding Account, as the case may be,
to the fullest extent practicable in one or more Eligible Investments. All
investments made by the Trustee shall mature no later than the maturity date
therefore permitted by Section 3.01(f) unless the Trustee shall have received
written confirmation from each Rating Agency, that the liquidation of such
Eligible Investments prior to their respective maturity dates, will not result
in the reduction or withdrawal of such Rating Agency's then-current rating of
the Notes.
(f) Unless payable on demand, no investment of any amount held in the Trust
Accounts shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
Payment Date which is scheduled to occur immediately following the date of
investment. All income or other gains (net of losses) from the investment of
moneys deposited in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited by the Trustee in such
account immediately upon receipt.
(g) Any investment of any funds in the Trust Accounts and any sale of any
investment held in such accounts, shall be made under the following terms and
conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the name of the Trustee or
in the name of a nominee of the Trustee, in each case in such manner as
shall be necessary to maintain the identity of such investments as assets
of the Trust Estate;
(ii) any certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent and the Trustee
shall have sole possession of such instrument, and all income on such
investment; and
(iii) the proceeds of any sale of an investment shall be remitted by
the purchaser thereof directly to the Trustee for deposit in the account in
which such investment was held.
(h) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Trust Accounts and
sufficient uninvested funds are not collected and available therein to make such
disbursement, in the absence of a Trust Order or Servicer Order for the
liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient to provide the
required funds, the Trustee shall select and cause to be sold or otherwise
converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such accounts.
(i) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any
insufficiency in the Trust Accounts resulting from losses on investments made in
47
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.01 (but the institution serving
as Trustee shall at all times remain liable for its own debt obligations, if
any, constituting part of such investments). The Trustee shall not be liable for
any investment made by it in accordance with this Section 3.01 on the grounds
that it could have made a more favorable investment or a more favorable
selection for sale of an investment.
SECTION 3.02. COLLECTION OF MONEYS.
(a) On or before the Issuance Date, the Servicer shall designate an address
for the receipt directly from Lessees of all Lease Payments, Casualty Payments
and Termination Payments on or in respect of each Lease (which payments may be
aggregated by the Lessee paying the same with Other Lease Payments and which
designated address may be the same designated address to which such Other Lease
Payments may be sent). The Servicer shall, within two Business Days of receipt
of any payment at such designated address, deposit such payment (excluding
Residual Realizations) in the Collection Account and Residual Realizations in
the Residual Account. All Lease Payments, Casualty Payments, Termination
Payments and other payments relating to a Lease received at such designated
address and so deposited shall constitute part of the Trust Estate. Any Other
Lease Payments from time to time received at such designated address or
otherwise received by the Servicer or deposited in the Collection Account shall
not constitute part of the Trust Estate.
(b) The Trustee shall from time to time, in accordance with instructions of
the Servicer, withdraw from the Collection Account any amounts in the Collection
Account which the Servicer advises the Trustee are Other Lease Payments. Prior
to such payment, the Trustee shall have rights to and an interest in such
amounts to the extent (but only to the extent) it is determined that such
amounts actually constitute Transaction Payment Amounts.
(c) If at any time the Issuer shall receive any payment on or in respect of
any Lease, it shall hold such Payment in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
and the holders of the Notes, shall segregate such payment from the other
property of the Issuer, and shall, promptly (but in no event later than the next
following Business Day) upon receipt, deliver such payment in the form received
to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.03. COLLECTION ACCOUNT; PAYMENTS.
(a) The Servicer shall within two Business Days of receipt (a "Required
Deposit Date") deposit the following funds, as received, into the Collection
Account:
(i) Lease Payments (net of any Excess Copy Charges, Maintenance
Charges and Fee Per Scan Charges);
(ii) recoveries from Non-Performing Leases to the extent Copelco has
not substituted Substitute Leases for such Non-Performing Leases (except to
the extent required to reimburse unreimbursed Servicer Advances);
48
(iii) late charges received on delinquent Lease payments not advanced
by the Servicer;
(iv) proceeds (other than Residual Warranty Payments) from purchases
by Copelco of Leases as a result of breaches of representations and
warranties by Copelco to the extent Copelco has not substituted Substitute
Leases for such Leases;
(v) proceeds from investment of funds in the Collection Account and
the Reserve Account;
(vi) Casualty Payments (other than Residual Casualty Payments);
(vii) Servicer Advances;
(viii) any amounts paid by the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer

extent the Issuer does not reinvest such Termination Payments in Additional
Leases; and
(x) payments from the Transferor to effect a redemption of the Notes

(b) Unless the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section
6.02 and moneys collected by the Trustee are being applied in accordance with
Section 6.06, (x) Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, (y) the
amounts, if any, deposited into the Collection Account from the Reserve Account
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05 and (z) the amounts, if any,
deposited into the Collection Account from the Class A Principal Payment Account
on the Payment Date in March 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.07(c) shall be withdrawn by the Servicer on or before each Payment Date from
the Collection Account in the amounts required, for application in the following
order of priority, to make the following required payments:
(i) to pay the Swap Counterparty any amounts due under the Swap
Documents, other than amounts due to the Swap Counterparty following a
termination of the Swap following a downgrade of or a default by the Swap
Counterparty (the "Swap Counterparty Termination Payment");
(ii) to pay the Servicing Fee;
(iii) to pay the Trustee Fee (if not paid by Copelco pursuant to the

50
(xiv) to pay the Class D Principal Payment to the Class D Noteholders;

payments due or to become due during April 2000) received that were due since
the prior Due Period, and all Casualty Payments and Termination Payments
(excluding Residual Realizations) received by the Trustee after the
Determination Date for such Payment Date and shall not distribute any such
amounts on such Payment Date. If at any time any amount or portion thereof
previously distributed pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall have been
recovered, or shall be subject to recovery, in any proceeding with respect to
the Issuer or otherwise, then for purposes of determining future distributions
pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) such amount or portion thereof shall be deemed

$9,296,303.56 into the Reserve Account. On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall
transfer to the Reserve Account from the Collection Account such amounts as

(b) If by 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day preceding any

On the Payment Date following an Event of Default, amounts in the

SECTION 6.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS.
None of the Noteholders shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(i) such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal
Amount of the Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder;
(iii) such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Trustee adequate
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;
(iv) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
65
(v) so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such
30-day period by the holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount
of the Notes;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other
Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Noteholders. It is further understood and intended that so long as any portion
of the Notes remains Outstanding, Copelco shall not have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture (other
than for the enforcement of Sections 3.03(b), 3.04(b), 3.05, 3.06, 4.01 and 4.02
hereof) or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee (including, without
limitation, a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), or for any other remedy
hereunder. Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall be construed as limiting the
rights of otherwise qualified Noteholders to petition a court for the removal of
a Trustee pursuant to Section 7.09(h) hereof.
SECTION 6.08. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, other than the
provisions hereof limiting the right to recover amounts due on the Notes to
recoveries from the property of the Trust Estate, the holder of any Note shall
have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of
and interest on such Note on the Maturities for such payments, including the
Stated Maturity, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.
SECTION 6.09. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder
and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 6.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in Section 2.04 (f), no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
66
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 6.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the
case may be.
SECTION 6.12. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS.
Except as may otherwise be provided in this Indenture, until such time as
the conditions specified in Sections 10.01(i) and (ii) have been satisfied in
full, the holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount of the
Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust
or power conferred on the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) no such direction shall be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be required to follow any such direction which
the Trustee reasonably believes might result in any personal liability on the
part of the Trustee for which the Trustee is not adequately indemnified; and
(iii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
which is not inconsistent with any such direction; PROVIDED that the Trustee
shall give notice of any such action to each Noteholder and the Swap
Counterparty.
SECTION 6.13. RESIDUAL NOTES EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
(a) Upon a default in making of Principal Payments at the Stated Maturity
of the relevant Class R Notes or Interest Payments on the Class R Notes when
such become due and payable (a "Residual Event of Default"), the unpaid
principal amount of the Class R Notes shall automatically become due and payable
at par together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by the Issuer.
(b) At any time after such a Residual Event of Default has occurred and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the holders of Class R
Notes evidencing 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class R
Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if the Issuer has paid or deposited with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all Principal Payments on the Class R Notes
which have become due otherwise than by
67
such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date when the
same first became due until the date of payment or deposit at the appropriate
Note Interest Rate all Interest Payments due with respect to any Class R Notes
and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue interest from the date when the same first became due until the date of
payment or deposit at a rate per annum equal to the appropriate Note Interest
Rates, and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Residual Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(c) If a Residual Event of Default occurs and is continuing of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall immediately give
notice to each Noteholder as set forth in Section 7.02. Following any
acceleration of the Class R Notes, the Trustee shall have all of the rights,
powers and remedies with respect to the Residual Realizations as are available
to secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law.
Such rights, powers and remedies may be exercised by the Trustee in its own name
as trustee of an express trust. If a Residual Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal
and interest remaining unpaid. In exercising its rights and obligations under
this Section 6.13, the Trustee may sell the rights to receive Residual
Realizations to a third party. Neither the Trustee nor any Class R Noteholder
shall have any rights against the Issuer other than to sell the Residual
Realizations.
(d) Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article following a
sale of rights to Residual Realizations following a Residual Event of Default,
and any moneys that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee for
the benefit of the Class R Notes or otherwise available in the Residual Account
or the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee, upon presentation of the Class R Notes and
surrender thereof:
first -- to the payment of all costs and expenses of collection
incurred by the Trustee and the Class R Noteholders (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel to the Trustee and the
Noteholders);
second -- if the person then acting as Servicer under the Assignment
and Servicing Agreement is not Copelco Capital or an Affiliate of Copelco
Capital, to the payment of all Residual Servicer's Fees then due to such
person;
third -- first to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on
the Outstanding Class ▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, second to the payment of all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Class R-2 Principal Amount,
third to the payment of the Outstanding Class R-1 Principal Amount and
fourth to the payment of the Outstanding Class R-2 Principal Amount;
fourth -- to the payment of amounts then due the Trustee hereunder;
68
fifth -- if the person then acting as Servicer is Copelco Capital or
an Affiliate of Copelco Capital, to the payment of all Residual Servicer's
Fees then due to such Person; and
sixth -- to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any
other Person legally entitled thereto.
SECTION 6.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.
All parties to this Indenture agree (and each holder of any Note by its
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount
of the Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the
Maturities for such payments, including the Stated Maturity as applicable.
SECTION 6.15. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 6.16. SALE OF TRUST ESTATE.
(a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Trust Estate
described pursuant to Section 6.03 shall not be exhausted by any one or more
sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue
unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts
payable on the Notes shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time to time,
upon directions in accordance with Section 6.12, postpone any public sale by
public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. For any public sale
of the Trust Estate, the Trustee shall have provided each Noteholder and the
Swap Counterparty with notice of such sale at least two weeks in advance of such
sale which notice shall specify the date, time and location of such sale.
69
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not in any
private sale sell to a third party the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof
unless,
(i) until such time as the conditions specified in Sections
10.01(a)(i) and (ii) have been satisfied in full, the holders of 66-2/3% of
the then Outstanding Principal Amount of each Class of the Notes voting
separately consent to or direct the Trustee in writing to make such sale;
or
(ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of all
amounts due to the Trustee hereunder and the entire balance of all amounts
payable to the Swap Counterparty and in respect of the Swap and the Swap
Documents, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes and interest due
or to become due thereon in accordance with Section 6.06 on the Payment
Date next succeeding the date of such sale.
The foregoing provisions shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Trustee
to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private sale.
(c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:
(i) any one or more Noteholders may bid for and purchase the property
offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold,
retain, and possess and dispose of such property, without further
accountability, and any Noteholder may, in paying the purchase money
therefore, deliver in lieu of cash any Outstanding Notes or claims for
interest thereon for credit in the amount that shall, upon distribution of
the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and the Notes, in case
the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon,
shall be returned to the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped to
show such partial payment;
(ii) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate
in connection with a sale thereof;
(iii) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any
portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, and to take
all action necessary to effect such sale; and
(iv) no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to
ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.
(d) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale of all or any
portion of the Trust Estate shall be commercially reasonable.
(e) The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall not be construed to restrict
the ability of the Trustee to exercise any rights and powers against the Issuer
or the Trust Estate that are vested in the Trustee by this Indenture, including,
without limitation, the power of the Trustee to proceed against the collateral
subject to the lien of
70
this Indenture and to institute judicial proceedings for the collection of any
deficiency remaining thereafter.
SECTION 6.17. RIGHTS OF SWAP COUNTERPARTY.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the rights of the Swap
Counterparty to take such action as it deems necessary to protect its interests
under this Indenture and the Swap Documents.

SECTION 7.01. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the

conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in

of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the
successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and
expenses, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
75
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts.
(b) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.
SECTION 7.11. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case
any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then
in office, any successor by merger, conversion, or consolidation to such

authenticated such Notes. The Trustee shall provide prompt written notice to
each Rating Agency of any event referenced in this Section 7.11.
SECTION 7.12. CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES.
(a) At any time or times, if the Issuer, the Trustee or any Noteholder
determines that it is necessary for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Trust Estate may at the
time be located, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and,
upon the written request of the Trustee or the holders of a majority of the then
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes, the Issuer shall for such purpose
join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee,
of all or any part of such Trust Estate, or to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Issuer does not join in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
or in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee, or
the holders of a majority of the then Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes,
alone shall have power to make such appointment.
(b) Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any

Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal hereof from the date of issuance at

otherwise paid or made available for payment and shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days in the period since the last
Payment Date or with respect to the June 2000 Payment Date, since April 20,
2000.
Principal and interest on this Class A-1 Note shall be paid on the 18th day

by wire transfer to an account at a bank in the United States as the Holder

Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the principal office of
any Paying Agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture.
The Stated Maturity of the Class A-1 Notes is the Payment Date in May 2001,

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the

contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate

Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class A-1 Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Class A-1 Note and of any Class A-1 Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange here for or in lieu hereof, whether or not

treat the Person in whose name this Class A-1 Note is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class A-1 Note may be overdue, and

Copelco Capital Receivables LLC, a limited liability company organized and

received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the
principal sum of ________________________ ($_______), payable in monthly
installments beginning on June 19, 2000 in accordance with the Indenture.
Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal hereof from the date of issuance,
at the rate of 7.39% per annum, until the full amount of principal hereof is
otherwise paid or made available for payment and shall be computed on the basis
of twelve 30-day months and a year of 360 days.
Principal and interest on this Class C Note shall be paid on the 18th day
of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day), commencing June 19, 2000, either by check to the registered
address of the Holder of this Class C Note as of the relevant Record Date or by
wire transfer to an account at a bank in the United States as the Holder shall
specify, as provided more fully in the Indenture; provided, that the final
payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes shall be payable to
the Holder of this Note only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the principal office of any Paying
Agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture.
The Stated Maturity of the Class C Notes is the Payment Date in May 2006,
on which date the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class C Notes shall be due
and payable.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Class C Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or

This Class C Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class A Notes of the
