exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.07 or Section 9.06 hereof not involving any transfer or any exchange made by the Note Insurer.

If (1) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (2) there is delivered to the Note Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by the Note Registrar to save each of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Note Registrar harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall execute and upon its delivery of a Trust Request the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note or Notes of the same tenor and aggregate initial principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Note Registrar, may require the payment 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 Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, 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.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 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.

The Indenture Trustee will always maintain an office at a location in the United States of America where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, which as of the Closing Date shall be located at the Corporate Trust Office. Notices and demands to or upon the Issuing Entity in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be delivered at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee.

The Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Certificateholders, on behalf of the Issuing Entity may also from time to time, at the expense of the Certificateholders, designate one or more other offices or agencies within the United States of America where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, any designation of an office or agency for payment of Notes shall be subject to Section 3.03 hereof. The Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Certificateholders, on behalf of the Issuing Entity will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.03. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the related Payment Account pursuant to Sections 5.07 or 8.02 hereof shall be made on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee, and no amounts so withdrawn from the related Payment Account for payments on the Notes shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity under any circumstances except as provided in this Section 3.03 or in Sections 5.07 or 8.02 hereof.

With respect to Definitive Notes, if the Issuing Entity shall have a Note Registrar that is not also the Indenture Trustee, such Note Registrar shall furnish, no later than the fifth (5th) calendar day after each Record Date, a list, in such form as such Indenture Trustee may

reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the number of Individual Notes held by each such Holder.

Whenever the Issuing Entity shall have a Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, will, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date, direct the Indenture Trustee to deposit with such Paying Agent an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the related Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. Any moneys deposited with a Paying Agent in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall, upon Trust Order, be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee for application in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

Subject to the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, any Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, may be appointed by Trust Order and at the expense of the Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company whose obligations would be Permitted Investments pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of the term “Permitted Investments”. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes on each Payment Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(b) 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;

(c) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Notes if at any time the Paying Agent ceases to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(d) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, give the Indenture Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuing Entity (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to any Notes for which it is acting as Paying Agent;

(e) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any Default by the Issuing Entity (or any other obligor upon the Notes), upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

(f) comply with all requirements of the Code, and all regulations thereunder, with respect to 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; provided, however, that with respect to withholding and reporting requirements applicable to original issue discount (if any) on any of the Notes, the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, has provided the calculations pertaining thereto to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent.

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

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 and one-half years after such amount has become due and payable to the Holder of such Note (or if earlier, three months before the date on which such amount would escheat to a governmental entity under applicable law) shall be discharged from such trust and paid to the Issuing Entity; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuing Entity for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuing Entity), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee may adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, any 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 redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or an), Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.04. Existence of Issuing Entity. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3.04, the Issuing Entity will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware or under the laws of any other state of the United States of America, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes and the other Basic Documents.

(b) Subject to Section 3.09(g) hereof, and with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, any entity into which the Issuing Entity may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Issuing Entity shall be a party, shall be the successor issuing entity under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper, instrument or further act to be done on the part of the parties hereto, anything in any agreement relating to such merger or consolidation, by which any such Issuing Entity may seek to retain certain powers, rights and privileges therefore obtaining for any period of time following such merger or consolidation to the contrary notwithstanding (other than Section 3.09(g)).

(c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other succession to the Issuing Entity in accordance with this Section 3.04, the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuing Entity) may exercise every right and power of, and shall have all of the obligations of, the Issuing Entity under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the issuing entity herein.

Section 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate.

Section 3.06. Opinions as to the Trust Estate. On or before March 15th in each calendar year, beginning in 200[_], the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe all such action, if any, that will, in the opinion of such

counsel, be required to be taken to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate until May 1st in the following calendar year.

Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations. (a) The Issuing Entity shall punctually perform and observe all of its obligations under this Indenture and the other Basic Documents.

(b) The Issuing Entity shall not take any action and will use its Best Efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any of the Mortgage Files or under any instrument included in the Trust Estate, or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any of the documents or instruments contained in the Mortgage Files, except as expressly permitted in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents or such document included in the Mortgage File or other instrument or unless such action will not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer.

(a) The Issuing Entity represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Note Insurer and the Servicer that the Issuing Entity is duly authorized under applicable law and the Trust Agreement to create and issue the Notes, to execute and deliver this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other documents referred to herein to which it is a party and all instruments included in the Collateral which it has executed and delivered, and that all Issuing Entity action and governmental consents, authorizations and approvals necessary or required therefor have been duly and effectively taken or obtained. The Notes, when issued, will be, and this Indenture and such other documents are, valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuing Entity enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or in law.

(b) The Issuing Entity represents and warrants that, immediately prior to its Grant of the Collateral provided for herein, it had good title to, and was the sole owner of, the Mortgage Loans, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest.

(c) The Issuing Entity represents and warrants that the Indenture Trustee has a valid and enforceable first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, subject only to exceptions permitted hereby.

(d) The Issuing Entity represents and warrants it is not required to be registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

(e) This Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and shall be deemed to create valid and continuing security interests (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuing Entity;

(f) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuing Entity has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans, has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Mortgage Loans that includes a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statements relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuing Entity is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuing Entity;

(g) The Issuing Entity owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person;

The mortgage notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuing Entity in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or any subsequent assignee, without limitation) in connection herewith describing the Mortgage Loans contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of, or security interest in, any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee;” and

(i) The mortgage notes evidencing the Mortgage Loans constitute instruments within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(j) The Issuing Entity shall, to the extent consistent with this Indenture, take such additional reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Indenture were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets of the Collateral, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the life of this Indenture.

The foregoing representations and warranties may not be waived and shall survive the issuance of the Notes.

Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof and the following sentence, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer, and shall at the written direction of the Note Insurer or of the Holders of Notes representing at least 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of all of both Classes, with the consent of the Note Insurer, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer by any Proceedings the Indenture Trustee deems appropriate 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 enforce any other proper remedy. Any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee; on behalf of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer, or any Noteholder against the Issuing Entity shall be limited to the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens; assignments, rights and security interests under the Indenture and no attachment, execution or other unit or process shall be sought, issued or levied upon any assets, properties or funds of the Issuing Entity, other than the Trust Estate relative to the Notes in respect of which such Event of Default has occurred. If there is a foreclosure of any such liens, assignments, rights and security interests under this Indenture, by private power of sale or otherwise, no judgment for any deficiency upon the indebtedness represented by the Notes may be sought or obtained by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder against the Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses expended by it pursuant to this Article V including reasonable compensation, expenses, or disbursements incurred of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel from the Trust Estate.

Section 5.04. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Note Insurer (subject to Section 5.17 hereof, to the extent applicable) shall, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer, do one or more of the following:

(a) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes, or under this Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuing Entity moneys adjudged due, subject in all cases to the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 5.03 hereof;

(b) in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof, sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

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

(d) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer hereunder; and

(e) refrain from selling the Trust Estate and apply all funds on deposit in each of the Accounts pursuant to Section 5.07 hereof.

Section 5.05. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or other judicial Proceeding relative to the Issuing Entity or any other obligor upon any of the Notes or the property of the Issuing Entity or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Indenture Trustee irrespective of whether the 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 on the Issuing Entity for the payment of any overdue principal or interest shall, with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise to:

(a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and 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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and the Note Insurer allowed in such Proceeding, and

(b) collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, or sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and the Note Insurer to make such payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders and the Note Insurer, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or the Note Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any of the Notes or the rights

of any Holder thereof, or the Note Insurer, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or the Note Insurer in any such Proceeding.

Section 5.06. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Note Insurer, shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer in respect of which such judgment has been recovered after payment of amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 5.07 hereof.

(g) 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 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes, the Indenture Trustee shall take the action prescribed by the group representing a greater percentage of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes.

Section 5.09. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to the provisions in this Indenture (including Sections 3.01 and 5.03 hereof) limiting the right to recover amounts due on a Note to recovery from amounts in the portion of the Trust Estate relating to such Note, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, which right is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of each installment of interest on such Note on the respective Payment Date for such installments of interest, to receive payment of each installment of principal of such Note when due (or, in the case of any Note called for redemption, on the date fixed for such redemption) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer 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 to be adverse to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or to the Noteholders is intended to

be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of a, right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or by the Noteholders with the prior consent of the Note Insurer, as the case may be.

The Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes on the applicable Record Date shall, with the written consent of the Note Insurer (a copy of which shall be provided to the Indenture Trustee), have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

(b) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing the percentage of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes specified in Section 5.17(b)(i) hereof, unless Section 5.17(b)(ii) hereof is applicable; and

(c) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not consenting.

Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes on the applicable Record Date may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, and with the written consent of the Note Insurer, waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of principal or any installment of interest on any Note; or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 9.02 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his 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 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee or the Note Insurer, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or Group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate Notes representing more than 10% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of any Interest Payment Amount or Base Principal Payment Amount on any Note on or after the related Payment Date or for the enforcement of the payment of principal of any Note on or after the Final Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of any Note called for redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuing Entity 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 of law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants in, or the performance of, this Indenture; and the Issuing Entity (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.

Section 5.17. Sale of Trust Estate. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may, with the consent of the Note Insurer, from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell or otherwise dispose of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:

(i) the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes of the Class or Classes then Outstanding and the Note Insurer consents to or directs the Indenture Trustee in writing to make such Sale; or

(ii) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount that would be payable to the Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer in respect of Reimbursement Amounts, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 5.17(b). In the absence of a Note Insurer Default, no Sale hereunder shall be effective without the consent of the Note Insurer.

(c) Unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes or the Note Insurer have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 5.17 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee, acting in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (i) on behalf of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer, shall prevent such Sale and bid an amount (which shall include the Indenture Trustee’s right, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee, to credit bid) at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate on behalf of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer.

(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:

(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 Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount that 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 public Sale thereof, 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 that would be payable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such Sale in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof 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;

(iii) the Indenture 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;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in-fact of the Issuing Entity 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

(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 5.18. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment 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, the Note Insurer or the Holders of Notes shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuing Entity or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof.

Section 5.19. No Recourse. The Trust Estate Granted to the Indenture Trustee as security for the Notes serves as security only for the Notes. The Noteholders shall have no recourse against the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Authenticating Agent, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities.

Section 5.20. Application of the Trust Indenture Act. Pursuant to Section 316(a) of the TIA, all provisions automatically provided for in Section 316(a) are hereby expressly excluded.

Section 5.21. Suspension and Termination of Note Insurer’s Rights. During the continuation of a Note Insurer Default, rights granted or reserved to the Note Insurer hereunder shall vest instead in the Noteholders, and may be exercised at the direction of Holders of Notes representing at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes; provided, that the Note Insurer shall be entitled to any distributions of reimbursements as set forth in the Indenture and the Insurance Agreement and the Note Insurer shall retain those rights under Section 9.01 to consent to any amendment of this Agreement.

At such time as either (i) the outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes has been reduced to zero or (ii) the Note Insurance Policy has been terminated and in either case of (i) or (ii) the Note Insurer has been reimbursed for all amounts owed to it under the Note Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement (and the Note Insurer no longer has any obligation under the Note Insurance Policy, except for breach thereof by the Note Insurer), then the rights and benefits granted or reserved to the Note Insurer hereunder (including the rights to direct certain actions and receive certain notices) shall terminate and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to the exercise of such rights and to receive such benefits of the Note Insurer following such termination to the extent that such rights and benefits are applicable to the Certificateholders.

All fees and expenses of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be payable by the Issuing Entity.

Should any written instrument from the Issuing Entity be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on written request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, with the written consent of the Note Insurer.

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

(a) The Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Indenture Trustee.

(b) As required by TIA Section 310(a)(3), the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

(c) The Indenture Trustee at any time may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 6.13. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.13.

(e) Any Act of Noteholders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

(f) Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder shall be afforded the same rights, protections and immunities as the Indenture Trustee.

delivery of the Notes designated for such authentication and, containing provisions therein for such authentication (unless the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, has made other arrangements, satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and such Authenticating Agent, for notation on the Notes of the authority of an Authenticating Agent appointed after the initial authentication and delivery of such Notes) in connection with transfers and exchanges under Section 2.06 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by Section 2.06 hereof to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture (other than in connection with the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.11 hereof in connection with their initial issuance), the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Person that both meets the requirements of Section 6.07 hereof for the Indenture Trustee hereunder and has an office for presentation of Notes in the United States of America. The Indenture Trustee, shall initially be the Authenticating Agent and shall be the Note Registrar as provided in Section 2.06 hereof. The office from which the Indenture Trustee shall perform its duties as Note Registrar and Authenticating Agent shall be its Corporate Trust Office. Any Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.14 or pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such appointment an instrument accepting the trusts, duties and responsibilities of Authenticating Agent and of Note Registrar or co-Note Registrar and indemnifying the Indenture Trustee for and holding the Indenture Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, administration of the trust or exercise of authority by such Authenticating Agent, Note Registrar or co-Note Registrar.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 6.14, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation or banking association.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuing Entity. The Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, may at any time with the consent of the Note Insurer terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Indenture Trustee. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 6.14, the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Note Insurer, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Indenture Trustee, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes.

The Indenture Trustee agrees, subject to Section 6.01(e) hereof to pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments pursuant to Section 6.16 hereof.

indemnification exceed $125,000 in any calendar year, pursuant to Sections 8.02(xii) and 5.07(l) hereof, and third, the Servicer, to the extent that the Indenture Trustee’s claims for indemnification exceed $125,000 in any calendar year and there are no funds available at priority second above available for such purpose, and held harmless against any loss, liability costs or reasonable expense incurred in connection with this Indenture or the Notes, other than any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its duties hereunder or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Servicer and the Issuing Entity under this Section 6.16 shall survive termination of the Issuing Entity and payment of the Notes, and shall extend to any co-Indenture Trustee or separate-Indenture Trustee appointed pursuant to this Article VI.

(vi) on each Payment Date, in accordance with the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report, (A) until the Shortfall Amount for the related Class is paid in full, and (B) until the amount specified in clause (vi) of Section 8.02 for such group is paid in full, in each case, first, from the Payment Account relating to the other Class of Notes, to the extent of the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow from the Group of Mortgage Loans relating to the other Class of Notes [and second, from each sub-account of the Reserve Account, an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount on deposit in the such sub-account of the Reserve Account and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and (B) the Shortfall Amount after giving effect to this Section 8.01(a)(vi)(B) first];

(vii) [on each Payment Date, from each sub-account of the Reserve Account, an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount on deposit in each such sub-account of the Reserve Account and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and (B) the Reserve Account Release Amount; and ]

(viii) all other amounts for such Group received for deposit in such Payment Account from the Servicer and the payment of any Loan Repurchase Price or Substitution Adjustment for a Mortgage Loan in such Group received by the Indenture Trustee.

All amounts that are deposited from time to time in a Payment Account are subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth in Section 8.02 hereof. All funds withdrawn from a Payment Account pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof for the purpose of making payments to the Holders of Notes shall be applied in accordance with Sections 3.03 and 8.02 hereof.

(b) [The Issuing Entity hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to establish, on or before the Closing Date, an Eligible Account that shall be the “Reserve Account” for the Notes. The Reserve Account will consist of two sub-accounts, each of which shall relate to a Class of Notes and the related Loan Group. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit and withdraw funds in the Reserve Account, and the sub-accounts thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(a) and Section 8.02 hereof. Amounts in the Reserve Account can be used to (i) pay Shortfall Amounts in accordance with Section 8.01 and (ii) to pay Class A-1 Available Funds Cap Carry-forward Amounts and Class A-2 Available Funds Cap Carry-forward Amounts. Amounts on deposit in either sub-account of the Reserve Account may be used to pay Shortfall Amounts for either Class of Notes, provided, that to the extent that funds are on deposit in both sub-accounts, funds will be withdrawn pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(vi). Available Funds Cap

Carry-Forward Amounts can only be paid from funds released from each related sub-account of the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(vii).]

(c) The Issuing Entity hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to establish, on or before the Closing Date, two Eligible Accounts that shall be the “Yield Maintenance Accounts” for the Notes. Each Yield Maintenance Account shall relate to one of the two Classes of Notes and the related Loan Group. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit into each Yield Maintenance Account, on each Payment Date, from the total amount, if any, received by it under the related Cap Agreement, an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (i) the lesser of one-month LIBOR and the maximum rate (as such terms are used in the related Cap Agreement) over (ii) the strike rate with respect to such Payment Date and the related Note Balance immediately prior to such Payment Date. Any excess over the amount payable under the related Cap Agreement over the amount described in the prior sentence will be distributed on such Payment Date to the Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee shall withdraw funds in each Yield Maintenance Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02 hereof. Amounts in each Yield Maintenance Account can only be used on each Payment Date to pay the related Available Funds Cap Carry-forward Amounts: any remaining amounts will be released on each Payment Date to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.02(xv) hereof.

(d) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, amounts held in the Accounts, other than the Payment Account or the Note Insurance Payment Account, shall at the written direction of the Servicer be invested in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall mature no later than the Business Day preceding the immediately following Payment Date; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest funds deposited into the Accounts later than 12:15 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the day of receipt. Absent written direction, all such amounts shall be held uninvested. Amounts in the Payment Account may be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Indenture Trustee or remain uninvested.

All income or other gains, if any, from investment of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer, and in the Payment Account for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, respectively and on or after each Payment Date, any such amounts may be released from such Accounts and paid to the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, as part of its compensation hereunder. Any loss resulting from such investment of moneys deposited in the Collection Account or the Payment Account, respectively, shall be reimbursed immediately as incurred to the related Account by the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, respectively. Subject to Section 6.01 hereof and the preceding sentence, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Accounts.

The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account (other than the Payment Account) held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).

In order to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, of 2001, the Indenture Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the other party to this Indenture including, but not limited to, such party’s name, address, and other identifying information.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust Estate and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture.

If the Indenture Trustee shall not have received the Servicer Remittance Amount by close of business on any related Servicer Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, unless the Servicer shall have made provisions satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee for delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an amount equal to such Servicer Remittance Amount, deliver a notice, with a copy to the Note Insurer, to the Servicer of the Servicer’s failure to remit such Servicer Remittance Amount and that such failure, if not remedied by the close of business on the Business Day after the date upon which such notice is delivered to the Servicer, shall constitute a Servicer Event of Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee shall subsequently receive any such Servicer Remittance Amount by the close of business on such Business Day (along with interest at the Prime Rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal, accruing from the Servicer Remittance Date to the date such Servicer Remittance Amount was actually received, and payable to the Indenture Trustee) such Servicer Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer, or its designee or assignee, any Servicer Remittance Amount received with respect to a Mortgage Loan after the related Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Servicer previously made payment or provision for payment with respect to such Servicer Remittance Amount in accordance with this Section 8.01, and any such Servicer Remittance Amount shall not be deemed part of the Trust Estate.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if, following delivery by the Indenture Trustee of the notice described above, the Servicer shall fail to remit the Servicer Remittance Amount on any Servicer Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver a second notice to the Servicer, the Issuing Entity and the Note Insurer by the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Payment Date indicating that a Servicer Event of Default occurred and is continuing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Thereupon, the Indenture Trustee shall take such actions as are required of the Indenture Trustee under Article VII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, if a default occurs in any other performance required under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the request of the Note Insurer or, with the consent of the Note Insurer, the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes of both Classes shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V hereof.

Section 8.02. Payments; Statements. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each Payment Account such amounts on deposit therein relating to the Indenture Trustee’s expenses and other amounts then due to it, including any payments with respect to reimbursement or indemnification due to the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 6.16), and shall pay such amounts to itself. On each Payment Date, unless the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and moneys collected by the Indenture Trustee are being applied in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof, Available Funds on deposit in each Payment Account on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be withdrawn from such Payment Account, in the amounts required (based on the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report prepared by the Indenture Trustee on or before such Payment Date in reliance on the related Servicer Remittance Report), for application on such Payment Date in respect of payments for the related Class of Notes as follows:

(v) with respect to the other Class of Notes, from amounts then on deposit in the related Payment Account, to the Holders of the other Class of Notes, the Shortfall Amount for the other Class;

(vi) from amounts then on deposit in the related Payment Account, to the Note Insurer, the Reimbursement Amount with respect to the related Class as of such Payment Date;

(vii) from amounts then on deposit in the related Payment Account, to the Note Insurer, the Reimbursement Amount with respect to the other Class of Notes as of such Payment Date to the extent not already reimbursed pursuant to clause (iv) above;

(viii) from amounts then on deposit in the related Payment Account, as a payment of the principal, an amount equal to the Overcollateralization Increase Amount for the related Class of Notes;

from the related sub-account of the Reserve Account], to the Holders of such Class of Notes, the related Available Funds Cap Carry-Forward Amount;

(xi) from amounts then on deposit in the Payment Account related to a Class of Notes, to the Servicer, any amount due to it with respect to the related Group of Mortgage Loans;

(xii) pro rata, from aggregate amounts then on deposit in both Payment Accounts, any amounts in respect of indemnity or reimbursement due the Indenture Trustee under any of the Basic Documents to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed hereunder;

(xiii) from aggregate amounts then on deposit in both Payment Accounts, to the Owner Trustee, its Expenses as defined in Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement, to the extent the Sponsor has not already paid to the Owner Trustee such Expenses;

(xiv) from the aggregate amounts then on deposit in the related Payment Account, to the Holders of the other Class of Notes, any amount due to them as an Interest Reduction Carryforward Amount; and

(xv) following the making by the Indenture Trustee of all allocations, transfers and disbursements described above, from amounts then on deposit in each Payment Account and the Yield Maintenance Accounts, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (as identified in the Certificate Register maintained by the Owner Trustee), the amount remaining on such Payment Date in each Payment Account and the Yield Maintenance Accounts, if any.

Section 8.03. Claims against the Note Insurance Policy. (a) No later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall determine with respect to the immediately following Payment Date, the amount required to be on deposit in each Payment Account on such Payment Date as a result of the Servicer’s remittance of the Servicer Remittance Amount on the related Servicer Remittance Date.

(b) If the Servicer Remittance Report with respect to any Payment Date indicates that an Insured Amount shall be payable for any Group, after giving effect to the distributions specified in Section 8.02 (calculating such distributions without giving effect to any Insured Amount to be paid by the Note Insurer on such Payment Date), the Indenture Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Note Insurance Policy and submit such notice to the Note Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New York City time (9:00 Los Angeles time) on the second Business Day preceding such Payment Date as a claim for an Insured Amount.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall establish an Eligible Account (which may be a subaccount of the Payment Account) for the benefit of Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer referred to herein as the “Note Insurance Payment Account” over which the Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit upon receipt any amount paid under the Note Insurance Policy in the Note Insurance Payment Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to the Noteholders of the related Group of the Insured Amount for such Group for which a claim was made and such

amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity. Amounts paid under the Note Insurance Policy, to the extent needed to pay the Insured Amount shall be disbursed by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 8.02. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to pay the Insured Amount with other funds available to make such payment. However, the amount of any payment of principal of or interest on the Notes to be paid from funds transferred from the Note Insurance Payment Account shall be noted as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 8.03 in the Note Register and in the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report. Funds held in the Note Insurance Payment Account shall not be invested. Any funds remaining in the Note Insurance Payment Account on the first Business Day following a Payment Date shall be returned to the Note Insurer pursuant to the written Instructions of the Note Insurer by the end of such Business Day.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of any Note from moneys received under the Note Insurance Policy. The Note Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

(e) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any Insured Amount has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Note Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Note Insurance Policy to obtain payment by the Note Insurer of such voided Insured Amount, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Note Insurer, notify, by mail to the Noteholders of the affected Notes that, in the event any Noteholder’s Insured Amount is so recovered, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the Note Insurance Policy, a copy of which shall be made available through the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or the Note Insurer’s fiscal agent, if any, and the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Note Insurer or its fiscal agent, if any, its records evidencing the payments which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from the Noteholders, and dates on which such payments were made.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Note Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any payment made with respect to the Notes. Each Noteholder, by its purchase of Notes, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee agree that, the Note Insurer (so long as no Note Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersede as or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, the Note Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the Note Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon retirement of the Notes, furnish to the Note Insurer a notice of such retirement, and, upon retirement of the Notes and the expiration of the term of the Note Insurance Policy, surrender the Note Insurance Policy to the Note Insurer for cancellation.

(h) Unless a Note Insurer Default exists and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Note Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Note Insurer’s rights or interests hereunder without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Noteholders as otherwise set forth herein.

(i) Each Noteholder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that, unless a Note Insurer Default exists and is continuing, the Note Insurer shall have the right to direct all matters relating to the Notes in any proceeding in a bankruptcy of the Issuing Entity, including without limitation any proceeding relating to a Preference Amount and the posting of any surety or Note pending any such appeal.

(j) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on the Notes which is made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Note Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of the Notes from the Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Note Insurer, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (x) to the extent the Note Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the Notes to the Holders of such Notes, the Note Insurer will be fully subrogated to, and each Noteholder, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign to the Note Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Issuing Entity, including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Noteholders in respect of securities law violations arising from the offer and sale of the Notes, and (y) the Note Insurer shall be paid such amounts from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the payment of such amounts.

Section 8.04. General Provisions Regarding the Payment Accounts and Mortgage Loans. (a) Each Payment Account shall relate solely to the Notes of the related Class and to the Mortgage Loans in the related Group, Permitted Investments and other property securing the related Notes. Funds and other property in each Payment Account shall not be commingled with the other Payment Account or any other moneys or property of the Issuing Entity or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may hold any funds or other property received or held by it as part of a Payment Account in collective accounts maintained by it in the normal course of its business and containing funds or property held by it for other Persons (which may include the Issuing Entity or an Affiliate); provided, that such accounts are under the sole control of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee maintains adequate records indicating the ownership of all such funds or property and the portions thereof held for credit to the related Payment Account.

(b) If any amounts are needed for payment from a Payment Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such payment, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash, to the extent available, a sufficient amount of the investments in such Payment Account.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall, at all times while any Notes are Outstanding, maintain in its possession, or in the possession of an agent whose actions with respect to such items are under the sole control of the Indenture Trustee, all certificates or other instruments, if any, evidencing any investment of funds in the Payment Accounts. The Indenture Trustee shall relinquish possession of such items, or direct its agent to do so, only for purposes of collecting the final payment receivable on such investment or certificate or, in connection with the sale of any investment held in the Payment Accounts, against delivery of the amount receivable in connection with any sale.

(d) The Servicer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to invest any part of the Trust Estate in Permitted Investments that constitute uncertificated securities (as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the relevant jurisdiction) unless it has delivered an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee setting forth, with respect to each type of security for which authority to invest is being sought, the procedures that must be followed to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate.

(e) With respect to any portion of the Trust Estate invested in Permitted Investments, the Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) any Permitted Investment that is held in a deposit account shall be held solely in an Eligible Account; and each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the sole and exclusive dominion, custody and control of the Indenture Trustee; and, without limitation on the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(ii) any Permitted Investment that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) and/or (b) of the definition of “Delivery,” as applicable, and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the Uniform Commercial Code) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee; and

(iii) any Permitted Investment that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Permitted Investment as described in such paragraph.

Section 8.05. Releases of Deleted Mortgage Loans. Upon notice or discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that any of the representations or warranties of the

Sponsor set forth in Section 4.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement was materially incorrect or otherwise misleading with respect to any Mortgage Loan as of the time made, the Indenture Trustee shall direct the Sponsor to either cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon any purchase of or substitution for a Deleted Mortgage Loan by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.06 or Section 4.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver the Indenture Trustee’s Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor, and the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such instruments of transfer as are necessary to convey title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor from the lien of this Indenture. Nothing in this Section 8.05 should be construed to obligate the Indenture Trustee to actively monitor the correctness or accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Sponsor.

Section 8.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders; Access to Certain Information. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee, shall provide the written reports required by the first paragraph of Section 2.08(d) to Noteholders of record as of the related Record Date (including the Clearing Agency, if any) and the Note Insurer. The Indenture Trustee will make available the Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Report (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) to any interested person via the Indenture Trustee’s internet website. The Indenture Trustee’s internet website shall initially be located at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇ and assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Indenture Trustee’s investor relations desk at [ ]. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to alter the manner in which it provides its Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Reports to Noteholders upon notice to Noteholders in the manner in which such Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Reports are then being provided.

The Indenture Trustee shall make available at its Corporate Trust Office, during normal business hours, for review by any Noteholder, designees of the Issuing Entity, or the Note Insurer, originals or copies of the following items: (a) the Indenture and any amendments thereto, (b) all Indenture Trustee’s Remittance Reports and other reports delivered since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.08(d) hereof, (c) any Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Indenture Trustee since the Closing Date as described in the Indenture and (d) any Accountants’ reports delivered to the Indenture Trustee since the Closing Date as required under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Indenture Trustee upon request; however, the Indenture Trustee will be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such copies and shall not be required to provide such copies without reasonable assurances that such sum will be paid.

Section 8.07. Release of Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding, release all of the Trust Estate to the Issuing Entity (other than any cash held for the payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 or 4.02 hereof and amounts due to the Indenture Trustee hereunder).

Section 8.08. Amendment to Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder, enter into or consent to any amendment or supplement to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the purpose of increasing the obligations or duties of any party other than the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee

shall not enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment unless the Indenture Trustee receives (i) an Opinion of Counsel that the position of the Holders would not be materially adversely affected or written confirmation of satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition has been delivered to it and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters that such amendment or supplement will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Issuing Entity to be subject to federal income tax. The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion decline to enter into any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities would be adversely affected. Prior to entering into any supplement or amendment an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (upon which it may conclusively rely) to the effect that such amendment or supplement is permitted and authorized by this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.09. Delivery of the Mortgage Files Pursuant to Sale and Servicing Agreement. As is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer (if directed in writing by the Servicer) the Indenture Trustee’s Mortgage Files for such Mortgage Loan upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on or prior to the date such release is to be made of:

(a) such Officer’s Certificates, if any, as are required by the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

(b) a Request for Release, executed by the Servicer, providing that the Servicer (if directed in writing by the Servicer) will hold or retain the Indenture Trustee’s Mortgage Files in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Holders of Notes.

Section 8.10. Servicer as Agent. In order to facilitate the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer of such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans has been appointed by the Issuing Entity to retain, in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Indenture, all Servicer Remittance Amounts on such Mortgage Loans prior to their deposit into the related Payment Account on or prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date.

If the Indenture Trustee terminates the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee as successor servicer shall, pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, assume the duties of the Servicer or appoint a successor servicer acceptable to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the directions of the Note Insurer and meeting the requirements set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 8.12. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of any action to be taken pursuant to Sections 8.08 and 8.09 hereof (other than in connection with releases of Mortgage Loans that were subject to a prepayment in full), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

Section 8.13. Appointment of Collateral Agents. The Indenture Trustee may, at no additional cost to the Issuing Entity or to the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Note Insurer, appoint one or more Collateral Agents to hold all or a portion of the Indenture Trustee Mortgage Files, as Agent for the Indenture Trustee. Such Collateral Agent shall meet the requirements of Article IX of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Matters concerning the Collateral Agents shall be governed by said Article IX.

Section 8.14. Rights of the Note Insurer to Exercise Rights of Noteholders. By accepting its Notes, each Noteholder agrees that unless a Note Insurer Default exists, the Note Insurer shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture, without any further consent of the Noteholders, including, without limitation:

(a) the right to require the Servicer to effect foreclosures upon Mortgage Loans upon failure of the Servicer to do so;

(b) the right to require the Sponsor to repurchase or substitute for Deleted Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8.05;

(d) the right to vote on proposed amendments to this Indenture.

In addition, each Noteholder agrees that, unless a Note Insurer Default exists, the rights specifically set forth above may be exercised by the Noteholders only with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.03 hereof and notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary, so long as a Note Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Note Insurer shall have no rights to exercise any voting rights of the Noteholders hereunder, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be required to obtain the consent of, or act at the direction of, the Note Insurer.

All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions required by this Indenture to be sent to any other party hereto or to the Noteholders shall also be sent to the Note Insurer.

With the consent of the Note Insurer and without the consent of the Holders of any Notes, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indenture supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(a) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

(d) to add to the covenants of the Issuing Entity, for the benefit of the Holders of all Notes and the Note Insurer, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuing Entity;

(e) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to amend any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the Certificateholders and will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuing Entity to be subject to federal income tax; provided, that the amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer and will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuing Entity to be subject to federal income tax if the Person requesting the amendment obtains either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to, but not at the expense of, the Indenture Trustee or to the Note Insurer, to such effect or (ii) written confirmation of the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition; or

(f) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted, and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. With the consent of the Note Insurer and with the consent of Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Note Principal Balance of all Outstanding Notes of the Classes affected thereby by Act of said Holders delivered to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

(a) change any Payment Date or the Final Stated Maturity Date of the Notes or, with respect to the Notes, reduce the Note Principal Balance thereof or the Note Rate thereon, change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Sponsor, change payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or any interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest due on any Note on or after the Final Stated Maturity Date thereof or for the enforcement of the payment of the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of any Note on or after the Final Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

(b) reduce the percentage of the Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with provisions of this Indenture or Defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or Sections 5.13 or 5.17(b) hereof, except to increase any percentage specified therein or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

(d) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term “Outstanding;”

(e) permit the creation of any lien other than the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture;

(f) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the Interest Payment Amount or Base Principal Payment Amount for any

Payment Date and either Class (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such amounts) or to affect rights of the Holders of the Notes to the benefits of any provisions for the redemption of Notes contained herein.

The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

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

Promptly after the execution by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and such supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Note Insurer in any material respect; (ii) an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture will not prevent the Notes from being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuing Entity to be subject to federal income tax; or (iii) written confirmation of satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, shall cause executed copies of any supplemental indentures to be delivered to the Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes to which such supplemental indenture relates that have theretofore been or thereafter are authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 9.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Servicer and executed by the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Certificateholders, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

Section 9.07. Amendments to Governing Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon a Trust Request, consent to any proposed amendment to the Issuing Entity’s governing documents, or an amendment to or waiver of any provision of any other document relating to the Issuing Entity’s governing documents, such consent to be given without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Holders of any Notes upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of:

(a) an Officer’s Certificate, to which such proposed amendment or waiver shall be attached, stating that such attached copy is a true copy of the proposed amendment or waiver and that all conditions precedent to such consent specified in this Section 9.07 have been satisfied;

(b) written confirmation of the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such proposed amendment; and,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may decline to consent to a proposed waiver or amendment that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall be construed to require that any Person obtain the consent of the Indenture Trustee to any amendment or waiver or any provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the giving of such waiver without obtaining the consent of the Indenture Trustee is not prohibited by this Indenture or by the terms of the document that is the subject of the proposed amendment or waiver.

Section 11.02. 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 the Issuing Entity 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 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 a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Indenture 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 indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver any document as a condition of the reporting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuing Entity’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuing Entity 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 Section 6.01(b)(ii) hereof.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuing Entity, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuing Entity’s right to make such request or direction, the Indenture 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 as provided in Section 6.01 (d) hereof.

Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent 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 Issuing Entity. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.03.

(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 the certificate of any 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. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

(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 of transfer 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 Issuing Entity in reliance thereon; whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Notes.

Section 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and Issuing Entity. Any request, demands authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(c) the Note Insurer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and faxed to [ ] or mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to [ ], Attn: [ ], or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Note Insurer; or

(e) the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage paid, to Accredited Home Lenders, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer; or

(f) the Depositor by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage paid, to Accredited Home Lenders, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Depositor; or

(g) the Underwriter by any party or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to [ ], Attn: [ ], or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Underwriter.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed first-class postage pre-paid, to (i) in the case of [ ], at the following address: [ ], Attn: [ ], (ii) in the case of [ ], at the following address: [ ], Attn: [ ] and (iii) in the case of [ ] at the following address: [ ], Attn: [ ]; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designed by written notice to the other parties.

Section 11.05. Notices and Reports to Noteholders; Waiver of Notices. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event or to whole such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Noteholder 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 or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed in the manner provided above, 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, and any notice or report that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.

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

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

Section 11.06. Rules by Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may (but is not obligated to) make reasonable rules for any meeting of Noteholders.

Section 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

Section 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 11.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuing Entity shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 11.10. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Note Insurer, the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.14 hereof and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date of any Payment Date, Redemption Date or any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be paid 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 nominal date of any such Payment Date, Redemption Date or other date for the payment of principal of or interest on any Note and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 11.13. Governing Law. IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT NOTEHOLDERS ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN MANY STATES AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND THE DESIRE TO ESTABLISH WITH CERTAINTY THAT THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF A STATE HAVING A WELL-DEVELOPED BODY OF COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL LAW RELEVANT TO TRANSACTIONS OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN, 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.

Section 11.14. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.15. Recording of Indenture. This Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording to be effected by the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, and at its expense in compliance with any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Sections 2.11 (c) or 3.06 hereof.

Section 11.16. Issuing Entity Obligation. (a) No recourse, may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee 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 (except as expressly stated herein regarding performance of its own obligations) Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any manner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

the Holders of the Notes, (a) file a written objection to any motion or the Sponsor with the Depositor or other proceeding seeking the substantive consolidation of the Sponsor with the Issuing Entity, (b) file an appropriate memorandum of points and authorities or other brief in support of such objection, or (c) endeavor to establish at the hearing on such objection that the substantive consolidation of such entities would be materially prejudicial to the Noteholders.

This Section 11.17 will survive for one year and one day following the termination of this indenture.

Section 11.18. Inspection. The Issuing Entity agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer, during the Issuing Entity’s normal business hours, to examine all of books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuing Entity, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent Accountants selected by the Indenture Trustee or the Note Insurer, as the case may be, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, employees and Independent Accountants (and by this provision the Issuing Entity hereby authorizes its Accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any expense incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right under this Section 11.18 shall be borne by the Issuing Entity.

Section 11.19. Usury. The amount of interest payable or paid on any Note under the terms of this Indenture shall be limited to an amount that shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the United States or the State of New York (whichever shall permit the higher rate), that could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any Note exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Issuing Entity stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of both the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holder of such Note, and the Issuing Entity, and the Holder receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Note, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Notes for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Notes.

Section 11.20. Note Insurer Default. Any right conferred to the Note Insurer shall be suspended during any period in which a Note Insurer Default exists other than its right to receive Reimbursement Amounts and to consent to amendments. At such time as the Notes are no longer Outstanding under this Indenture, and no amounts owed to the Note Insurer under the Basic Documents remain unpaid, the Note Insurer’s rights under this Indenture shall terminate.

Section 11.21. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Note Insurer is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture which shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Note Insurer; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as a Note Insurer Default is continuing with respect to its obligations under the Note Insurance Policy, the Noteholders,

subject to Section 11.20, shall succeed to the Note Insurer’s rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all covenants and agreements in this Indenture that expressly confer rights upon the Note Insurer shall be for the benefit of and run directly to the Note Insurer, and the Note Insurer shall be entitled to rely on and enforce such covenants to the same extent as if it were a party to this Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.
