(vi) such other documents, instruments, certifications, agreements or other items as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require.

(c) In conjunction with the issuance of a new Series of Investor Notes, the parties hereto shall execute an Indenture Supplement, which shall specify the relevant terms with respect to any newly issued Series of Investor Notes, which may include without limitation:

The terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Base Indenture solely as applied to such new Series.

(d) The Issuer may direct the Indenture Trustee to deposit all or a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of any new Series of Investor Notes into a Series Account for another Series of Investor Notes and may specify that the proceeds from the sale of such new Series of Investor Notes may be used to reduce the Invested Amount of another Series of Investor Notes.

Section 2.3. Execution and Authentication

(a) The Investor Notes shall, upon issue pursuant to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer and delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein. If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on an Investor Note no longer holds that office at the time the Investor Note is authenticated, the Investor Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Investor Notes of any particular Series executed by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Issuer Orders for the authentication and delivery of such Investor Notes, and the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with such Issuer Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Investor Notes. If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States the Global Note that is issued upon original issuance thereof, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to the Depository against payment of the purchase price therefor. If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate Book-Entry Notes that are issued upon original issuance thereof, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to a Clearing Agency, a Foreign Clearing Agency or its nominee as provided in Section 2.10 against payment of the purchase price thereof.

(c) No Investor Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Investor Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, duly executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of a Responsible Officer (and the Luxembourg agent (the “Luxembourg Agent”), if such Investor Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange). Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Investor Note has been duly authenticated under the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Investor Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Investor Notes whenever the Indenture Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Base Indenture to authentication by the Indenture Trustee includes authentication by such agent. The Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Investor Notes of a series issued under the within mentioned Indenture.

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL

ASSOCIATION, as Indenture Trustee

By:__________________________

Authorized Signatory

(d) Each Investor Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Indenture Trustee, except Bearer Notes which shall be dated the applicable Series Closing Date as provided in the related Indenture Supplement..

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Investor Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Investor Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation, together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Investor Note has never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of the Indenture such Investor Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Section 2.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”), a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Investor Notes of each Series (unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement) and of transfers and exchanges of the Investor Notes as herein provided. JPMorgan Chase is hereby initially appointed Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purposes of registering the Investor Notes and transfers and exchanges of the Investor Notes as herein provided. If any form of Investor Note is issued as a Global Note, the Indenture Trustee may, or if and so long as any Series of Investor Notes is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange shall so require, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or another European city. Any reference in the Indenture to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires. JPMorgan Chase shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that such resig-nation shall not be effective and JPMorgan Chase shall contin-ue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Indenture Trustee has appointed a succes-sor Transfer Agent and Registrar with the consent of the Issuer.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Transfer Agent and Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Transfer Agent and Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof.

An institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall continue to be the Transfer Agent and Registrar without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such Transfer Agent and Registrar.

The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall maintain in The City of New York (and, if so specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Notes, any other city designated in such Indenture Supplement) an office or offices or agency or agencies where Investor Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Transfer Agent and Registrar initially designates its corporate trust office located at ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its office for such purposes. The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and to the Investor Noteholders of any change in the location of such office or agency.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Investor Note at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.4(b) and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the

Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Investor Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Investor Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate principal amount; provided, however that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Bearer Notes.

At the option of any Holder of Registered Notes, Registered Notes may be exchanged for other Registered Notes of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Registered Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. At the option of any holder of Bearer Notes, subject to applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation, the Bearer Rules), Bearer Notes may be exchanged for other Bearer Notes or Registered Notes of the same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount, in the manner specified in the Indenture Supplement for such Series, upon surrender of the Bearer Notes to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Note surrendered pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall have attached thereto (or be accompanied by) all unmatured Coupons, provided that any Bearer Note so surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant Payment Date need not have attached the Coupons relating to such Payment Date.

Whenever any Investor Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Investor Noteholder, the Investor Notes which the Investor Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Investor Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Investor Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Investor Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Investor Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Investor Note of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment in full of the Investor Notes of such Series.

Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Investor Notes.

All Investor Notes (together with any Coupons attached to Bearer Notes) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture

Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Notes upon its exchange in full for Definitive Notes and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency was received with respect to each portion of such Global Note exchanged for Definitive Notes in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Notes and Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under the Indenture and the Investor Notes.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the Indenture Supplement relating to such Investor Notes) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such related Indenture Supplement are satisfied.

Section 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes

If (a) any mutilated Investor Note (together, in the case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Investor Note and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Indenture Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note, a new Investor Note of like tenor and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note, but not a mutilated Investor Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Investor Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Investor Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original Investor Note in lieu of which such replacement Investor Note was issued presents for payment such original Investor Note, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Investor Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Investor Note from such Person to whom such replacement Investor Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

In connection with the issuance of any new Investor Note under this Section 2.5, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and 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 expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Investor Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed note shall be found at any time.

Section 2.6. Appointment of Paying Agent

(a) The Indenture Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent with respect to the Investor Notes. The Indenture Trustee hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase as the initial Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds and make distributions to Investor Noteholders from the appropriate account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Noteholders as specified in this Base Indenture or the related Indenture Supplement for any Series pursuant to Article 5. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under the Indenture in any material respect or for other good cause. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Rating Agency of the removal of any Paying Agent. If any form of Investor Note is issued as a Global Note, or if and so long as any Series of Investor Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange shall so require, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a co-paying agent in Luxembourg or another European city. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that any Paying Agent shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company and may be the Indenture Trustee) with the consent of the Issuer. The provisions of Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03 and 10.06 shall apply to the Indenture Trustee also in the capacity of Paying Agent, for so long as the Indenture Trustee shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in the Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent or a Clearing Agency or a Foreign Clearing Agency in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Investor Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Investor Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London and Luxembourg (if the related Series of Investor Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

In the case of a Bearer Note, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar may treat the holder of a Bearer Note or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Note or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article 5 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.8. Investor Noteholder List

The Indenture Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Issuer or the Paying Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a request therefor from the Issuer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as the Issuer or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Investor Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record

Date for payments to such Investor Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, holders of Investor Notes of any Series having an aggregate principal amount aggregating not less than 10% of the Investor Interest of such Series (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights under the Indenture or under the Investor Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Investor Noteholders held by the Indenture Trustee and shall give the Issuer notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every Investor Noteholder, by receiving and holding an Investor Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Investor Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

The Indenture Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Investor Noteholders of each Series of Investor Notes. If the Indenture Trustee is not the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Payment Date and at such other time as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Investor Noteholders of each Series of Investor Notes.

Section 2.9. Treasury Notes

In determining whether the Investor Noteholders of the required principal amount of Investor Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Investor Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer (other than an Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Investor Notes of which the Indenture Trustee has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded. Absent written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such ownership, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual beneficial owners of the Investor Notes.

Section 2.10. Book-Entry Notes

Unless otherwise provided in any related Indenture Supplement, the Investor Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Indenture Supplement (the “Depository”) which shall be the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency, on behalf of such Series. The Investor Notes of each Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency, the Foreign Clearing Agency, the nominee of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Foreign Clearing Agency. No Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive note representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the related Series of Investor Notes, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Notes of any Series (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

(a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series;

(b) the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Investor Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Investor Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control with respect to each such Series; and

(d) the rights of Beneficial Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in the Indenture to ac-tions by the Investor Not-e-holders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency upon in-struc-tions from the Clear-ing Agency Partici-pants, and all refer-ences in the Indenture to dis-tribu-tions, no-tices, reports and statements to the Note--holders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency, as regis-tered holder of the Investor Notes of such Series for distribu-tion to the Beneficial Owners in accor-dance with the proce-dures of the Clearing Agency. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants.

Section 2.11. Definitive Notes

If (i) (A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement, and (B) the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency with respect to any Series or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of a Majority in Interest of a Series of Investor Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Beneficial Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Beneficial Owners of such Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners of such Series requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Investor Notes of such Series by the applicable Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency or the applicable Foreign Clearing Agency for registration, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series as Noteholders of such Series hereunder.

Section 2.12. Global Note

If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series, the Investor Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Global Note (the “Global Note”) in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the Initial Invested Amount and substantially in the form attached to the related Indenture Supplement.

Any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Investor Note is payable.

(d) If the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on the Investor Notes of any Series, such interest, to the extent paid on any date that is more than five (5) Business Days after the applicable due date, shall, at the option of the Issuer, cease to be payable to the Persons who were Investor Noteholders of such Series on the applicable Record Date and the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner, plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Investor Noteholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, at the rate provided in the Indenture and in the Investor Notes of such Series. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, and at least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to Investor Noteholders of such Series a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.14. Tax Treatment

The Issuer has structured the Indenture and the Investor Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the Investor Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any Investor Note by acceptance of its Investor Notes (or, in the case of a Beneficial Owner, by virtue of such Beneficial Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Investor Notes (or beneficial interests therein) for purposes of Federal, state and local and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness of the Issuer.

On or prior to the date hereof, the Issuer, the Collection Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Collection Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Collection Account shall be established and maintained for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders. If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains knowledge that the Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days of obtaining such knowledge, cause the Collection Account to be moved to a Qualified Trust Institution or Qualified Institution and cause the depositary maintaining the new Collection Account to assume the obligations of the existing Collection Account Securities Intermediary under the Collection Account Control Agreement.

If so provided in the related Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders, shall cause to be established and maintained, one or more Series Accounts and/or administrative sub-accounts of the Collection Account to facilitate the proper allocation of Collections in accordance with the terms of such Indenture Supplement. Each such Series Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders of such Series. Each such Series Account will be an Eligible Deposit Account, if so provided in the related Indenture Supplement and will have the other features and be applied as set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.

(c) Administration of the Collection Account. The Issuer shall instruct the institution maintaining the Collection Account in writing to invest the funds on deposit in the Collection Account in Permitted Investments. Any such investment shall mature and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Transfer Date related to the Monthly Period in which such funds were processed for collection, or if so specified in the related Indenture Supplement, on the immediately succeeding Payment Date. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment.

(d) Establishment of Joint Collection Accounts. To facilitate the collection of and to allow for the identification and separation of funds that are Relinquished Property Proceeds from funds that are Non-Qualified Funds, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, in the joint name of the Indenture Trustee and the Intermediary, one or more Joint Collection Accounts that shall each be an Eligible Deposit Account and administered and operated as provided in this Base Indenture and the Master Exchange Agreement. If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains knowledge that a Joint Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days of obtaining such knowledge, establish in conjunction with the Intermediary a new Joint Collection Account that is an Eligible Deposit Account and transfer into the new Joint Collection Account all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Joint Collection Account.

Section 5.2. Gain on Sale Account

On or prior to the date hereof, the Issuer, the Gain on Sale Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Gain on Sale Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Gain on Sale Account shall be established and maintained for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders. If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains knowledge that the Gain on Sale Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days of obtaining such knowledge, cause the Gain on Sale Account to be moved to a Qualified Trust Institution or Qualified Institution and cause the depositary maintaining the new Gain on Sale Account to assume the obligations of the existing Gain on Sale Account Securities Intermediary under the Gain on Sale Account Control Agreement.

Any such investment shall mature and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to each Transfer Date. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account shall remain uninvested. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment.

(c) Earnings from Gain on Sale Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account shall be deemed to be available and on deposit for distribution.

(d) Deposits to Gain on Sale Account. Amounts will be deposited in the Gain on Sale Account in accordance with this Article 5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement.

No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Transfer Date, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Gain on Sale Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Monthly Residual Value Loss for the immediately preceding Monthly Period and (y) the amount then on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account and deposit such amount into the Collection Account for allocation in accordance with Article 5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement. On any Transfer Date on which the amount on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account (after giving effect to any withdrawals therefrom pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) is greater than an amount equal to the Applicable Gain on Sale Account Percentage of the sum of the aggregate Lease Balance of each Eligible Lease that is a Closed-End Lease allocated to the Lease SUBI as of last day of the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Transfer Date and the Aggregate Residual Value Amount as of such date, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw such excess from the Gain on Sale Account and deposit it in the Issuer General Account.

Section 5.3. Collection of Money.

Except as otherwise 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 the Indenture.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Issuer Assets, the Indenture Trustee may 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 the Indenture and any right to proceeds thereafter as provided in Article 9.

Section 5.4. Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections in General. Until the Indenture is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, the Issuer shall, and the Indenture Trustee is authorized to, cause all Collections due and to become due to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, under or in connection with the Collateral to be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account. The Issuer agrees that if any Collections shall be received by the Issuer in an account other than the Collection Account, such monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds will not be commingled by the Issuer with any of its other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by the Issuer for, and immediately remitted to, the Indenture Trustee, with any necessary endorsement. All monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture shall be in immediately available funds and shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in this Article 5.

(b) Allocations for Investor Noteholders. On each Deposit Date, the Issuer shall allocate Collections deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with this Article 5 and shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw the required amounts from the Collection Account and make the required deposits in any Series Account in accordance with this Article 5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement. The Issuer shall make such deposits or payments on the date indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement for any Series with respect to such Series. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, has agreed to furnish to the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, written instructions to make the aforementioned withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Issuer Accounts specified herein or in an Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly follow any such written instructions.

(c) Sharing Collections. In the manner described in the related Indenture Supplement, to the extent that Collections that are allocated to any Series on a Deposit Date are not needed to make payments to Investor Noteholders of such Series or required to be deposited in a Series Account for such Series on such Deposit Date, such Collections may, at the direction of the Issuer, be applied to cover principal payments due to or for the benefit of Investor Noteholders of another Series. Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction in the Invested Amount of the Series to which such Collections were initially allocated.

(d) Allocations After Certain Events of Default. After each Outstanding Series of Investor Notes shall have been declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2 as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default defined in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, to the extent that Collections that are allocated to any Series of Investor Notes on a Settlement Date are not needed to make payments of principal of, or interest on, the Investor Notes of such Series, such Collections shall be applied to cover principal payments due on the Investor Notes of all other Series then Outstanding on a pro rata basis based on the Invested Percentages of such other Series of Investor Notes.

Section 5.5. Joint Collection Account Disputes

. If the Indenture Trustee receives notice pursuant to Section 4.2(c) of the Master Exchange Agreement that the Intermediary has disapproved of any proposed transfer of funds from a Joint Collection Account to the Collection Account that are required pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement to be applied to repay the Loans, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon written direction of the Administrator or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of any Series shall, deliver a certification to the Intermediary setting forth the amounts due and owing in respect of the Loan Agreement.

REMEDIES

Section 9.1. Events of Default

(d) the Issuer at any time receives a final determination that it will be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(e) the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory body having jurisdiction reaches a final determination that the Issuer is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act; or

(f) an Insolvency Event shall have occurred with respect to the Issuer.

Section 9.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

If an Event of Default referred to in clause (f) of Section 9.2 has occurred, the unpaid principal amount of all Series of Investor Notes, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and all other amounts due to the Investor Noteholders under the Indenture, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable. If an Event of Default referred to in clause (a), (b), (d) or (e) of Section 9.1 has occurred, then the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may declare all of the Investor Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Investor Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Investor Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default referred to in clause (c) of Section 9.1 shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Series of Investor Notes, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or Holders of a Majority in Interest of such Series of Investor Notes may declare all the Investor Notes of such Series to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Investor Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Investor Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made with respect to the Investor Notes (or a particular Series of Investor Notes) and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 9, provided, the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes (or, in the case of the acceleration of a particular Series of Investor Notes, the Holders of a Majority in Interest of the Investor Notes of such Series), by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided, that, no such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 9.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Investor Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Investor Note when the same becomes due and payable, by acceleration or at stated maturity, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Investor Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Investor Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the Note Rate borne by the Investor Notes, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

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

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 9.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Investor Noteholders, by such appropriate proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by the Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer, any other obligor upon the Investor Notes, Holdings or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Issuer Assets, proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, Holdings or such Person or the property of such other obligor, Holdings or such Person, or in the case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, other obligor upon the Investor Notes, Holdings or such Person or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, such other obligor, Holdings or such Person, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Investor Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Investor Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Investor Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

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

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

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Investor Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, such other obligor upon the Investor Notes, Holdings, any Person claiming an ownership interest in the Issuer Assets, their respective creditors and their property;

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

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

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under the Indenture, or under any of the Investor Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Investor Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Investor Notes.

(g) In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Investor Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Investor Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

Section 9.4. Remedies; Priorities

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Series of Outstanding Investor Notes and such Series of Investor Notes has been accelerated under Section 9.4, the Indenture Trustee may institute proceedings to enforce the obligations of the Issuer hereunder in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Investor Notes of such Series or under the Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Investor Notes moneys adjudged due.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes and all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes have been accelerated under Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 9.5) may do one or more of the following:

(i) institute proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture with respect to the Issuer Assets;

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

(iii) in the case of an Event of Default referred to in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, sell the Issuer Assets or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

provided that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Issuer Assets following an Event of Default referred to in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, unless (A) the Holders of Investor Notes representing 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Investor Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Investor Notes for principal and interest, or (C) (1) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Issuer Assets will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Investor Notes as they would have become due if the Investor Notes had not been declared due and payable and (2) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Holders of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Issuer Assets for such purpose.

(c) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 9, such money or property shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as additional collateral hereunder and the Indenture Trustee shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 10.6; and

SECOND: to the Collection Account for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.

Section 9.5. Optional Preservation of the Issuer Assets

If the Investor Notes of each Series Outstanding have been declared to be due and payable under Section 9.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Issuer Assets. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Investor Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Investor Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether to maintain possession of the Issuer Assets. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Issuer Assets, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Issuer Assets for such purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 9.5 shall be construed to require the Indenture Trustee to preserve the Issuer Assets securing the Issuer Obligations if prohibited by applicable law or if the Indenture Trustee is authorized, directed or permitted to liquidate the Issuer Assets pursuant to Section 9.4(b).

Section 9.6. Limitation on Suits

No Holder of any Investor Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:

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

(b) Holders of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes holding Investor Notes evidencing at least 25% of each Class of Investor Notes of such Series have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture Trustee hereunder;

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

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

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of the Investor Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the Investor Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Investor Notes, each representing less than a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group of Holders of Investor Notes with the greater amount of Investor Notes, however, should the Indenture Trustee receive conflicting or inconsistent requests on indemnity from two or more groups of Holders with an equal amount of Investor Notes the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture.

Section 9.7. Unconditional Rights of Investor Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Indenture, the Holder of any Investor Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Investor Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Investor Note or in the Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

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

Section 9.9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Investor Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Investor Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 9 or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Investor Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Investor Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 9.11. Control by Investor Noteholders

The Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Investor Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that

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

(b) if an Event of Default is with respect to less than all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, then the Indenture Trustee’s rights and remedies shall be limited to the rights and remedies pertaining only to those Series of Investor Notes with respect to which such Event of Default has occurred and the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such rights and remedies at the direction of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of all such Series of Investor Notes;

(c) subject to the express terms of Section 9.4, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Issuer Assets shall be by the Holders of Investor Notes representing not less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount;

(d) if the conditions set forth in Section 9.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Issuer Assets pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Investor Notes representing less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount to sell or liquidate the Issuer Assets shall be of no force and effect;

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

(f) such direction shall be in writing;

provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Investor Noteholders not consenting to such action.

Section 9.12. Waiver of Past Defaults

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Investor Notes of any Series as provided in Section 9.2, the Holders of the Investor Notes of not less than a Majority in Interest of such Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may, on behalf of all such Holders, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Investor Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Investor Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Investor Notes of such Outstanding Series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice of any waiver to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.13. Undertaking for Costs

All parties to the Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Investor Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Investor Noteholder or group of Investor Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Invested Amount of any Series of Investor Notes, or (c) any suit instituted by any Investor Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Investor Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Investor Note and in the Indenture.

Section 9.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 9.15. Action on Investor Notes

The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Investor Notes or under the Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to the Indenture. Neither the lien of the Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Investor Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Issuer Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 10.

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 10.1. Duties of the Indenture Trustee

(a) If an Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Base Indenture or such other Transaction Document, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Administrator or the Issuer hereunder.

(c) Subject to subsection 10.1(a), no provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts nor shall the Indenture Trustee be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the Indenture or in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 9.11;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof or receives written notice thereof;

(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by any Person to comply with its obligations under the Transaction Documents unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice thereof;

(iv) prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event or an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Amortization Events or Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Indenture Trustee;

(v) anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(vi) subject to the other provisions of the Indenture and without limiting the generality of this Section 10.01, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to record, file, or deposit this Base Indenture, the Transaction Documents or any agreement referred to herein or therein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to maintain any such recording or filing or depositing or to rerecord, refile, or redeposit any thereof, (B) to insure the Issuer Assets and (C) to pay or discharge any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral other than from funds available in the Collection Account.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of any Person under any of the Transaction Documents.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created hereunder in any of the Issuer Assets now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any of the Issuer Assets now existing or hereafter created.

(f) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated promptly to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

Section 10.2. Rights of the Indenture Trustee

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person.

(b) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Indenture Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.

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

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of the Investor Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Invested Amount of any Series of Investor Notes; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses, or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in instituting, conducting or defending any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto or in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, or liability or payment of such expenses as a condition precedent to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or by the Administrator at the direction of the Issuer or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Issuer or by the Administrator at the direction of the Issuer upon demand.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Indenture Trustee so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of JPMorgan Chase.

Section 10.3. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer

The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Investor Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Investor Notes). Except as set forth in Section 10.11, the Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or of the Investor Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Investor Notes) or of any of the Issuer Assets. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Investor Notes or of the proceeds of such Investor Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Issuer in respect of the Issuer Assets.

Section 10.4. -Indenture Trustee May Own Investor Notes

The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee.

Section 10.5. Notice of Defaults

If a Default or an Event of Default or a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Investor Noteholder notice thereof within 45 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 313(c) of the TIA in payment of principal of or interest on any Investor Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Investor Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Investor Noteholders.

Section 10.6. Compensation

The Issuer shall cause the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, a failure by the Indenture Trustee to promptly notify the Issuer and the Administrator of a claim for which it may seek indemnity shall not relieve the Administrator from its obligation to indemnify the Indenture Trustee.

The Administrator’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of the Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 10.7. Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee

The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “Baa3” by Moody’s and “BBB-“ by Standard & Poor’s having, in the case of an entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, risk-based capital of at least $50,000,000 or, in the case of an entity that is not subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, and shall satisfy the requirements for a trustee set forth in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.7, the risk-based capital or the combined capital and surplus of such corporation, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be its risk-based capital or combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of condition so published.

If the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, the Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA §310(a) and the Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA §310(b)(9); provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in the TIA §310(b)(1) are met.

If at any time the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.8.

(c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer and thereupon the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.7, any Investor Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(g) Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 10.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.

Section 10.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

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

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by the Indenture, any of the Investor Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee, and deliver such Investor Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Investor Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Investor Notes either in the name of any predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Investor Notes or in the Indenture with respect to the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 10.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Indenture Trustee under Section 10.7 and no notice to Investor Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.8. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Indenture Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

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

(i) The Investor Notes of each Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Indenture Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Issuer Assets or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(iii) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;

(iv) The Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(v) The Indenture Trustee shall remain primarily liable for the actions of any co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article 9. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Issuer.

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

(e) In connection with the appointment of a co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee may, at any time, at the Indenture Trustee’s sole cost and expense, without notice to the Investor Noteholders, delegate its duties under this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that no such delegation shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and responsibilities hereunder with respect to any such delegated duties.

(a) to create a new Series of Investor Notes;

(b) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of any Investor Noteholders (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of Investor Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer (provided, however, that the Issuer will not pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) surrender any right or power it has under the Transaction Documents);

(c) to mortgage, pledge, convey, assign and transfer to the Indenture Trustee any property or assets as security for the Investor Notes and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Indenture Trustee and to set forth such other provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the Indenture or as may, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture, be deemed appropriate by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, or to correct or amplify the description of any such property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed and transferred to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Investor Noteholders;

provided, however, that, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Investor Noteholder. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of any Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such Supplement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.

Section 12.2. With Consent of the Investor Noteholders

Except as provided in Section 12.1, the provisions of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement (unless otherwise provided in such Indenture Supplement) may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes; provided that, if such amendment, modification or waiver of or to this Base Indenture or the Indenture Supplement with respect to a Series of Investor Notes does not affect the Investor Noteholders of a particular Series of Investor Notes (as substantiated by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect), then the consent of the Investor Noteholders of such Series shall not be required to such amendment, modification or waiver; provided further that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to any such amendment, modification or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) any modification of this Section 12.2, any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by Investor Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in principal amount of the Investor Notes or any change in the definition of the terms “Adjusted Aggregate Unit Balance” or “Asset Deficiency”, “Invested Amount”, “Invested Percentage” or any defined term used for the purpose of any such definitions shall require the consent of each affected Investor Noteholder; and

(ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (a) extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Investor Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Investor Note) shall require the consent of each affected Investor Noteholder; (b) approve the assignment or transfer by the Issuer of any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to which it is a party except pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof shall require the consent of each Investor Noteholder; (c) release any obligor under any Transaction Document to which it is a party except pursuant to the express terms of such Transaction Document shall require the consent of each Investor Noteholder; (d) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of any Investor Noteholder individually in comparison to any other Investor Noteholder shall require the consent of such Investor Noteholder; or (e) amend or otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall require the consent of each affected Investor Noteholder.

Section 12.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by an Investor Noteholder of an Investor Note is a continuing consent by the Investor Noteholder and every subsequent Investor Noteholder of an Investor Note or portion of an Investor Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Investor Noteholder’s Investor Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Investor Note. However, any such Investor Noteholder or subsequent Investor Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Investor Note or portion of an Investor Note if the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Investor Noteholder. The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Investor Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.

Section 12.5. Notation on or Exchange of Investor Notes

The Indenture Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Investor Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Investor Notes may issue and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate new Investor Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Investor Note shall not affect the validity and effect of-such amendment or waiver.

Section 12.6. The Indenture Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc

If it does, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Supplement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms

Section 12.7. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act

If the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment of the Indenture and every Supplement executed pursuant to this Article 12 shall comply in all respects with the TIA.

Section 13.2. Forms 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 my certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

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

Whenever in the Indenture, in connection with any application, certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document (x) as a condition of the granting of such application, or (y) as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in each case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article 10.

In any case where notice to Investor Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Investor Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Investor Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. Where the 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 Investor 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 the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
