Notes shall be issued as Definitive Notes, and each of the Notes shall be
issuable in minimum denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. Each Class of the Variable Pay Revolving Notes shall be issued
as a single note. Each Class of Variable Pay Revolving Note issued pursuant to
Section 2.03 shall be issued with an initial Note Balance equal to the
outstanding Note Balance of the related Class of Term Notes as of the related
Targeted Final Payment Date.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be

authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
Section 2.03 Advance or Additional Variable Pay Revolving Notes. Not
later than ten (10) Business Days prior to a Targeted Final Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, will request an Advance (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) from the Holder(s) of the
Variable Pay Revolving Notes in an aggregate amount equal to the outstanding
Note Balance of the related Class of Term Notes, to be paid on the Business Day

Indenture Trustee in writing (as set forth in Exhibit C) whether it (or the
Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement)
will make such Advance, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions
precedent specified in the Note Purchase Agreement. If the Holders of the
Variable Pay Revolving Notes (or the Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchasers
under the Note Purchase Agreement) indicate to the Indenture Trustee that they
will not make an Advance in the aggregate amount equal to the outstanding Note
Balance of the related Class of Term Notes, the Indenture Trustee will notify
the Depositor by close of business on the next Business Day. If no such Advance
will be made, the Depositor may direct the Issuer to issue an additional
Variable Pay Revolving Note in an amount equal to the related outstanding Class
of Term Notes. Upon receipt of such direction, the Issuer shall issue and upon
receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, such
additional Variable Pay Revolving Note in accordance with Sections 2.01 and 2.02
and Article IV. If such additional Variable Pay Revolving Note is issued, the
Indenture Trustee shall register such Variable Pay Revolving Note in accordance
with Article IV of this Indenture and deliver such Variable Pay Revolving Note
in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Early Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, an Insolvency Event with respect to the Enhancer has
4
occurred, any Class of Notes are rated below "AAA" or a Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will not request an Advance and the Issuer
will not issue an additional Variable Pay Revolving Note.
ARTICLE III
Covenants

The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself the Note Payment
Account in which the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the terms of this
paragraph, deposit, on the same day as it is received from the Servicer, each
remittance received by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Indenture Trustee shall make all payments of principal of and interest on
the Notes, subject to Section 3.03 as provided in Section 3.05 herein from

satisfaction of conditions set forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon
the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address
thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as
its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.
Section 3.03 Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust; Paying Agent. As
provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect
to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note Payment

Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Note Payment Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer
except as provided in this Section 3.03. The Issuer hereby appoints the
Indenture Trustee to act as initial Paying Agent hereunder. The Issuer will
cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver
to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent,
it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such
Paying Agent will:
(a)hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with
respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(b)give the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer written notice of
any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any
payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;
5
(c)at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture
Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;
(d)immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes, if at
any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at
the time of its appointment;
(e)comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable
withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting
requirements in connection therewith; and
(f)deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of the statement to
Noteholders prepared with respect to each Payment Date by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Request direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year
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 Noteholder of such Note
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in
an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ,
at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of
such repayment to Noteholders the Notes which have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and
payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture
Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Noteholder).
Section 3.04 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State
of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
6
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Mortgage Loans and each other

or (x) above on such Payment Date or prior Payment Dates, for payment by
the Paying Agent to the Noteholders of each Class of Variable Pay
Revolving Notes, pro rata, based on their respective Note Balances;
(xii) to the Enhancer, any other amounts owed to the Enhancer
pursuant to the Insurance Agreement with respect to the Policy and the
Notes;
8
(xiii) to the Note Payment Account from the remaining
Excess Spread, for payment by the Paying Agent to the Noteholders any
Interest Shortfalls on the Notes for such Payment Date and for any
Payment Date not previously paid;
(xiv) during the Amortization Periods, to the Indenture
Trustee, any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section
6.07 to the extent remaining unpaid;
(xv) to the Reserve Sub-Account, the amount (if any) required
pursuant to Section 3.05(c); and
(xvi) any remaining amount, to the Distribution Account,
for distribution to the holders of the Certificates by the Certificate
Paying Agent in accordance with the Trust Agreement;
provided, that on the Final Payment Date, the amount that is required to be paid
pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be equal to the Note Balance immediately
prior to such Payment Date and shall include any amount on deposit in the Note
Payment Account on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.28(a)(iii).
For purposes of the foregoing, the Note Balance of each Class of Notes
on each Payment Date during the Amortization Periods for such Class of Notes
will be reduced (any such reduction, an "Unpaid Principal Amount") by the pro
rata portion allocable to such Notes of all Liquidation Loss Amounts for such
Payment Date, but only to the extent that such Liquidation Loss Amounts are not
otherwise covered by payments made pursuant to clauses (vi), (ix, (x) or (xi)
above, or by a draw on the Policy, and the Overcollateralization Amount is zero.
(b) Notwithstanding the allocation of payments described in
clause (a) above, unless an Early Amortization Event has occurred, all
Collections on the Mortgage Loans payable as principal distributions on the
Variable Pay Revolving Notes during the Amortization Periods will be so paid
until the Note Balance of the Variable Pay Revolving Notes has been reduced to
zero and thereafter, will be deposited into the Reserve Sub-Account. On the
first Payment Date following the next Targeted Final Payment Date, amounts in
the Reserve Sub-Account will be deposited into the Note Payment Account and
applied as principal payments on the Variable Pay Revolving Notes issued on that
previous Targeted Final Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the allocation of payments described in clause
(a) above, if an Early Amortization Event has occurred, all amounts in the
Reserve Sub-Account and all Collections on the Mortgage Loans payable as
principal distributions on the Variable Pay Revolving Notes pursuant to Section
3.05(a) will be paid on each Payment Date to the Holders of the Variable Pay
Revolving Notes and the Term Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with their
respective Note Balances.
(c) Within ten (10) Business Days of each Targeted Final Payment
Date, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, will request an Advance
(under the circumstances and in the manner set forth in Section 2.03 hereof)
from the Holder of the Variable Pay Revolving Notes, the proceeds of which shall
be applied by the Indenture Trustee to make principal payments in an amount
equal to the outstanding Note Balance on the related Class of Term Notes on the
related Targeted Final Payment Date or, if received within 10 days following the
Targeted Final Payment Date, promptly following receipt thereof. If no Advance
is received, the Issuer shall, at the direction of the Depositor, may issue an
9
additional Variable Pay Revolving Note. Neither the Advance, nor proceeds from
the sale of an additional Variable Pay Revolving Note issued with respect to a
Targeted Final Payment Date, will exceed or be less than the amount necessary to
pay the outstanding Note Balance on the related Class of Term Notes on such
Targeted Final Payment Date. Advances may be made and additional Variable Pay
Revolving Notes may be issued only in connection with a Targeted Final Payment
Date and in accordance with this Indenture and the Trust Agreement. If no
Advance is received, and the Trust fails to issue an additional Variable Pay
Revolving Note on a Targeted Final Payment Date, an amount equal to 10 days
interest on the related Class of Term Notes shall be deposited into the Reserve
Sub-Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(xv) from amounts otherwise payable to
Certificateholders. Upon the issuance and sale by the Trust of an additional
Variable Pay Revolving Note within 10 days after the related Targeted Final
Payment Date, the amount of interest deposited into the Reserve Sub-Account
pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(xv) shall be paid to the Holders of the related
Class of Term Notes, together with the Note Balance of such Class, in an amount
equal to the interest accrued on such Class of Term Notes through the date of
payment.
(d) On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall apply, from
amounts on deposit in the Note Payment Account, and in accordance with the
Servicing Certificate, the amounts set forth above in the order of priority set
forth in Section 3.05(a).
Amounts paid to Noteholders shall be paid in respect of the Notes
in accordance with the applicable percentage as set forth in paragraph (e)
below. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days in each Interest Period and a 360-day year. Any installment of interest
or principal payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by
the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Noteholder of
record thereof on the immediately preceding Record Date by wire transfer to an
account specified in writing by such Noteholder reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee, or by check or money order mailed to such Noteholder at such
Noteholder's address appearing in the Note Register, the amount required to be
distributed to such Noteholder on such Payment Date pursuant to such
Noteholder's Notes; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not pay to any
such Noteholder any amounts required to be withheld from a payment to such
Noteholder by the Code.
(e)Principal of each Note shall be due and payable in full on the
Final Payment Date as provided in the applicable form of Note set forth in
Exhibits A-1 and A-2. All principal payments on the Term Notes and Variable Pay
Revolving Notes of each Class shall be made in accordance with the priorities
set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above to the Noteholders entitled
thereto in accordance with the related Percentage Interests represented thereby.
Upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee shall notify the Person in the name of which a Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Targeted Final
10
Payment Date, the Final Payment Date or other final Payment Date, as applicable.
Such notice shall be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to the Final
Payment Date or such other final Payment Date and, unless such Note is then a
Book-Entry Note, shall specify that payment of the principal amount and any
interest due with respect to such Note at the Final Payment Date or such other
final Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such
Note, and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and
surrendered for such final payment.
On each Payment Date, the Overcollateralization Amount available
to cover any Liquidation Loss Amounts on such Payment Date shall be deemed to be
reduced by an amount equal to such Liquidation Loss Amounts (except to the
extent that such Liquidation Loss Amounts were covered on such Payment Date by a
payment in respect of Liquidation Loss Amounts).
(f) With respect to any Payment Date, interest payments on the
Notes will be reduced by any Relief Act Shortfalls for the related Collection
Period on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amount of interest payable on
the Notes on such Payment Date, absent such reduction.

ARTICLE IV
The Notes; Satisfaction And Discharge Of Indenture
Section 4.01 The Notes; Variable Pay Revolving Notes.
---------------------------------------
(a) The Term Notes shall be registered in the name of a nominee
designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the Term
Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum initial
Term Note Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.
The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Term Notes for the
purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders of Term Notes hereunder. Except
as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of
Beneficial Owners with respect to the Term Notes shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the
Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08,
Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Term
Notes as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from,
and votes of, the Depository as Noteholder of the Term Notes shall not be deemed
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The
Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
20
solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and give notice to the
Depository of such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, no Term Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a
successor Depository that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the
Beneficial Owners.
In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as
Depository, the Indenture Trustee, at the request of the Servicer and with the
approval of the Issuer may appoint a successor Depository. If no successor
Depository has been appointed within 30 days of the effective date of the
Depository's resignation or removal, each Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to
certificates representing the Notes it beneficially owns in the manner
prescribed in Section 4.08.
The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer
by the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee
and upon Issuer Order, authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee to or upon the order of the Issuer.
(b) The Variable Pay Revolving Note issued on the Closing Date
shall be issued in definitive form and shall bear the Designation "VPRN 1" and
each new Variable Pay Revolving Note will be issued in definitive form and shall
bear sequential numerical designations in the order of their issuance. Each new
Variable Pay Revolving Note issued after the Closing Date shall be a separate
Class of Variable Pay Revolving Notes.
Section 4.02 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of
Notes; Appointment of Certificate Registrar. The Issuer shall cause to be kept
at the Indenture Trustee's Corporate Trust Office a Note Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar
shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of
Notes as herein provided. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as
the initial Note Registrar.
Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Issuer shall execute, and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interests.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Variable Pay
Revolving Note shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act
and laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer
shall require the transferee to either (i) execute an investment letter in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (or in such form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer) which
investment letters shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer and which investment letter
states that, among other things, such transferee (a) is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or
21
the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule
144A, and (b) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the
exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act, provided by
Rule 144A or (ii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer (a) an
investment letter executed by the transferee in substantially the form of
Exhibit D, (b) a representation letter executed by the transferor in
substantially the form of Exhibit E and (c) an opinion of counsel to the effect
that such transfer is not required to be registered under the Securities Act and
the facts surrounding the transfer do not create a security that is required to
be registered under the Securities Act, in each case, acceptable to and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
which opinion and letters shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer. The Noteholder of
a Variable Pay Revolving Note desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer and the Issuer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws. In addition, no transfer of
any Variable Pay Revolving Note or any interest therein shall be made to any
employee benefit plan or certain other retirement plans and arrangements,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and bank
collective investment funds and insurance company general or separate accounts
in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that are subject to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), any Person acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Variable Pay Revolving Note with "plan assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless
the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel
that establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer
that the purchase of such Variable Pay Revolving Note is permissible under
applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Indenture
Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or
liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Indenture, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a
Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or
any Person acquiring such Variable Pay Revolving Note with Plan Assets of a Plan
may provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to the Trust Agreement,
which the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer may rely upon without further
inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will
be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Variable Pay
Revolving Note by the Owner Trust to the Depositor or any transfer from the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any
such Affiliate shall be deemed to have represented that the Depositor or such
Affiliate, as applicable, is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets of any
Plan) and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of
the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor.
Until the earlier of (i) 10 days after the Payment Date in August 2007
or (ii) the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, no Variable Pay Revolving
Note issued after the Closing Date, either at issuance or upon sale transfer,
pledge or other disposition, will be registered in the name of any Holder unless
(a) the Depositor has approved such Holder in writing and (b) such Holder shall
have established, to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee and the
Depositor, that such Holder has provided the Required Ratings or such Holder
22
shall have been approved by Noteholders representing 51% of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Term Notes and the Enhancer (provided that no Enhancer Default or
Insolvency Event with respect to the Enhancer has occurred and is continuing),
which approval of the Enhancer shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
that if the Enhancer shall not have notified the Depositor or the Indenture
Trustee within five (5) days of receiving notice of a proposed transferee, that
the Enhancer does not approve such Holder, such approval shall be deemed to have
been made.
Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be
exchanged for other Notes of like tenor, in each case in authorized initial Note
Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of
the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and
the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each Note presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by,
the Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such
signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located or having a
correspondent located in The City of New York. Notes delivered upon any such
transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to
the same rights and privileges, as the Notes surrendered.
No service charge shall be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be
cancelled by the Note Registrar and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for
subsequent destruction without liability on the part of either.
The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Certificate
Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such
appointment.
Each purchaser of a Note, by its acceptance of the Note, shall be deemed
to have represented that the acquisition of such Note by the purchaser does not
constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, for which no statutory, regulatory or
administrative exemption is available.
Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
23
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same class; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead
of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of
such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Noteholder of such Note of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.
Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
24
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal
policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer
Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that such
Issuer Request is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.06 Book-Entry Notes. Each Class of Term Notes, upon original
issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Term Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner shall receive a Definitive Note
representing such Beneficial Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided
in Section 4.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Term Notes (such
Term Notes, together with the Variable Pay Revolving Notes, the "Definitive
Notes") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:
(a)the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force and effect;
(b)the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled
to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this Indenture (including the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions
or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Term Notes, and shall have no
obligation to the Beneficial Owners;
(c)to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06
conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this
Section 4.06 shall control;
(d)the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Owners of Term Notes and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant
to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make book-entry transfers among the
Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes to such Depository Participants; and
(e)whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders of Term Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balances of the Term Notes, the
Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or
Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the beneficial interest in the Term Notes and has delivered such
instructions to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.07 Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders of the Term Notes is required under this
Indenture, unless and until Definitive Term Notes shall have been issued to
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all
such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders of
the Term Notes to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial
Owners.
25
Section 4.08 Definitive Notes. Each Variable Pay Revolving Note shall be
issued as a Definitive Note. If (i) the Indenture Trustee determines that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Term Notes and the Indenture Trustee is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Indenture Trustee elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, (iii) the Indenture
Trustee receives actual knowledge of a proposed transfer of a Term Note to an
"accredited investor" in accordance with Section 4.02 and Exhibit C hereof, or
(iv) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of Term
Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
aggregate Term Note Balance of the Term Notes advise the Depository in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer
in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify
all Beneficial Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten
Term Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository (or Percentage
Interest of the Book-Entry Notes being transferred pursuant to clause (iii)
above), accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with
the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions, and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Noteholders of the Definitive Notes as
Noteholders.
Section 4.09 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture,
and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and
local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will be
treated as indebtedness for purposes of such taxes. The Issuer, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (and each
Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry
Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness for purposes of such taxes.
Section 4.10 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes except as to (i)
rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (iii) rights of Noteholders to receive payments
of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.09,
3.16, 3.18 and 3.19, (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Indenture
Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Indenture Trustee under Section
6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.11) and (vi)
the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property
so deposited with the Indenture Trustee payable to all or any of them, and the
Indenture Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to the Notes, when:
(A) either:
(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed,
lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as
26
provided in Section 4.03 and (ii) Notes for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter
repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as
provided in Section 3.03) have been delivered to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or
(2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee
for cancellation:
a) have become due and payable;
b) will become due and payable at the Final Payment Date
within one year; or
c) have been declared immediately due and payable
pursuant to Section 5.02.
and the Issuer, in the case of a. or b. above, has irrevocably deposited
or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Indenture Trustee cash or
direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of
America (which will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable),
in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge
the entire indebtedness on such Notes and Certificates then outstanding
not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation when
due on the Final Payment Date, as evidenced to the Indenture Trustee by
an accountant's letter or an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer;
(3) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder and under the Insurance Agreement by the
Issuer; and
(4) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee and
the Enhancer an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01 and
each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have
been complied with and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a
deposit made in connection with Section 4.10(A)(2)b. above, such
opinion shall further be to the effect that such deposit will not
have any material adverse tax consequences to the Issuer, any
Noteholders or any Certificateholders.
Section 4.11 Application of Trust Money. All monies deposited with the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent or
Certificate Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the
Securityholders of Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for
principal and interest; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required herein or required by law.
27
Section 4.12 Subrogation and Cooperation.
---------------------------
(a)The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge that (i) to
the extent the Enhancer makes payments under the Policy on account of principal
of or interest on the Mortgage Loans, the Enhancer will be fully subrogated to
the rights the Noteholders to receive such principal of and interest on the
Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest
only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance
Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.
The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any
reasonable request by the Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the
Enhancer's rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance Agreement,
consistent with this Indenture and without limiting the rights of the
Noteholders as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, including upon the
occurrence and continuance of a default under the Insurance Agreement, a request
(which request shall be in writing) to take any one or more of the following
actions:
(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all
amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture in respect to
the Notes and all amounts payable under the Insurance Agreement and to
enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer monies
adjudged due;
(ii) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales (as
defined in Section 5.15 hereof) called and conducted in any manner
permitted by law;
(iii) file or record all assignments that have not
previously been recorded;
(iv) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture; and
(v) 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 Enhancer hereunder.
Following the payment in full of the Notes, the Enhancer shall continue
to have all rights and privileges provided to it under this Section and in all
other provisions of this Indenture, until all amounts owing to the Enhancer have
been paid in full.
Section 4.13 Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes,
all monies then held by any Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee)
under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon
demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied
according to Section 3.05; and thereupon, such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such monies.
28
Section 4.14 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of any Definitive
Notes, the Issuer may execute and upon its written direction, the Indenture
Trustee may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Notes that
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in
any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange
therefor, Definitive Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Notes shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive
Notes.
ARTICLE V
Default And Remedies
Section 5.01 Events of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer, within five days after learning of the
occurrence of any event that with the giving of notice and the lapse of time
would become an Event of Default under clause (c) of the definition of "Event of
Default" written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of its status
and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Enhancer or the Noteholders of
Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes, with the written consent of the Enhancer (unless an Enhancer Default has
occurred and is continuing), may declare the Notes to be immediately due and
payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if
given by Noteholders); and upon any such declaration, the unpaid principal
amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through
the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with
respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes
representing a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, with the
written consent of the Enhancer, by written notice to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, may in writing waive the related Event of Default and rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
29
(a)the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:
(i) all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes
and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Notes
if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not
occurred;
(ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and
(iii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12;
provided that no such waiver shall be effective following an Early Amortization
Event if the requisite consents of the Noteholders and the Enhancer have been
obtained with respect to a sale or other liquidation of the Trust Estate
pursuant to Section 5.04(a).
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.
Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.
(a)The Issuer covenants that if default in the payment of (i) any
interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) the principal of or any installment
of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer
shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, the entire amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal
and interest, with interest on the overdue principal, and in addition thereto
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.
(b)In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof, may institute
a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor on the Notes, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof, may, as
more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate
30
Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(d)If there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor on the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or if there shall be any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the
Issuer or other any other obligor on the Notes, or relative to the creditors or
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, then the Indenture Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise, and irrespective of whether
the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of
this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire
amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee
(including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee
and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) and of the Noteholders
allowed in such Proceedings;
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations,
to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a
standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such
Proceedings;
(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and
(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;
and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event the Indenture Trustee shall
consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the
Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
31
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, willful
misconduct 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 Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(f)All rights of action and of asserting claims under this
Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee
without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any
trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee
of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the
expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each
predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Term Notes and the Variable Pay
Revolving Notes, as applicable.
(g)In any Proceedings to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a
party (including any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision
of this Indenture), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all
Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any
such Proceedings.
Section 5.04 Remedies; Priorities.
--------------------
(a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
then the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof,
with the written consent of the Enhancer may, or, at the written direction of
the Enhancer, shall, do one or more of the following, in each case subject to
Section 5.05:
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on
the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
declaration or otherwise, and all amounts payable under the Insurance
Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer
and any other obligor on the Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the
rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and
32
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Enhancer, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Noteholders of 100% of the aggregate Note Balance
of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to
Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
upon the Notes for principal and interest and to reimburse the Enhancer for any
amounts drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due the Enhancer under the
Insurance Agreement or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage
Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal
of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not
been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of
the Enhancer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and the
Noteholders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes. In
determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C)
above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely, and shall be
protected in relying in good faith, upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that a Servicing Default shall not have
occurred, any Sale (as defined in Section 5.15 hereof) of the Trust Estate shall
be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer
as provided in the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any sale of the Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), the Indenture Trustee shall, for so long
as any principal or accrued interest on the Notes remains unpaid, continue to
act as Indenture Trustee hereunder and to draw amounts payable under the Policy
in accordance with its terms.
(b)If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money or property in the
following order:
FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.07;
SECOND:to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
related Notes for interest, including accrued and unpaid interest
on the Notes for any prior Payment Date, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
and payable on such Notes for interest from amounts available in
the Trust Estate for such Noteholders, but excluding any Interest
Shortfalls;
THIRD: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
related Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
such Notes for principal, from amounts available in the Trust
Estate for such Noteholders, until the respective Note Balances
of such Notes have been reduced to zero;
FOURTH:to the payment of all amounts due and owing the Enhancer
under the Insurance Agreement;
33
FIFTH: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
related Notes for Interest Shortfalls, if any, including any
unpaid Interest Shortfalls on the Notes for any prior Payment
Date, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to such amounts due and payable from amounts available
in the Trust Estate for such Noteholders;
SIXTH: to the Certificate Paying Agent for amounts due under
Article VIII of the Trust Agreement; and
SEVENTH: to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer
or any other person legally entitled thereto.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes
have been declared due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not (but shall at the written
direction of the Enhancer), elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust
Estate; provided that no such waiver shall be effective following an Early
Amortization Event if the requisite consents of the Noteholders and the Enhancer
have been obtained with respect to a sale or other liquidation of the Trust
Estate pursuant to Section 5.04(a). It is the desire of the parties hereto and
the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer
including payment to the Enhancer, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such
desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain
possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain
and rely, and shall be protected in relying in good faith, upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Noteholder shall have any right to
institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof:
(a)such Noteholder shall have previously given written notice to the
Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(b)the Noteholders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to
institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Indenture Trustee hereunder;
34
(c)such Noteholder or Noteholders shall have offered the
Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred by it in complying with such request;
(d)the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute such
Proceedings; and
(e)no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have
been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders
of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or by the Enhancer.
It is understood and intended that no Noteholder shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or
to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided.
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each
representing less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,
the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group of Noteholders
with the greater Note Balance. In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall
receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more
groups of Noteholders representing the same Note Balance, then the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal
and Interest. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Noteholder of any
Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.
Section 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.
Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
35
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or any Noteholder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.
Section 5.11 Control by Enhancer or Noteholders. The Enhancer (so long
as no Enhancer Default exists) or the Noteholders of a majority of the aggregate
Note Balance of Notes with the consent of the Enhancer, shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that:
(a)such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture;
(b)subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to
the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the
Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists) or by the Noteholders of Notes
representing not less than 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes with
the consent of the Enhancer;
(c)if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 shall have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant
to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of
Notes representing less than 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes to
sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and
(d)the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines
(in its sole discretion) might involve it in liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action,
unless the Trustee has received satisfactory indemnity from the Enhancer or a
Noteholder.
Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer Default exists) or the Noteholders of not less
than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, with the consent of
the Enhancer, may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences, except
an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on
any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot
36
be modified or amended without the consent of the Noteholder of each Note. In
the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights
hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Noteholder by such Noteholder's acceptance of the related Note shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any
Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any Proceeding instituted by
any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate
more than 10% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or (c) any Proceeding
instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of
or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Note and in this Indenture.
Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.15 Sale of Trust Estate.
--------------------
(a)The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a "Sale")
of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject
to the provisions of Section 5.05 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any
such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of
the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the
entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and
under this Indenture and under the Insurance Agreement shall have been paid. The
Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public
announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee
hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for
any Sale.
(b)The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the
Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:
37
(i) the Noteholders of all Notes and the Enhancer direct the
Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale,
(ii) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the
entire amount that would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes,
the Certificateholders under the Certificates and the Enhancer in
respect of amounts drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due the
Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, in full payment thereof in
accordance with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next succeeding the
date of such Sale, or
(iii) the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole
discretion, that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set
forth in Section 5.05 cannot be satisfied (in making any such
determination, the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
relying in good faith upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05), and
the Enhancer consents to such Sale (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and the Noteholders of Notes representing at
least 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes consent to such
Sale.
The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for
purposes of this Section 5.15(b).
(c)Unless the Noteholders and the Enhancer shall have otherwise
consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any
portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the
amount described in paragraph (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has
not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal
to or greater than such amount, then the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount
at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid, which bid shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 5.15(d)(ii) herein.
(d)In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust
Estate:
(i) any Noteholder may bid for and, with the consent of
the Enhancer, purchase the property offered for sale, and upon
compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and
dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in
paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for
interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon
distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and
such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than
the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Noteholders thereof
after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the
property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof and,
subject to any requirements of, and to the extent permitted by,
applicable law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion
of the Trust Estate in a private sale. In lieu of paying cash therefor,
the Indenture Trustee may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount that
would be distributable to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders and
38
amounts owing to the Enhancer as a result of such Sale in accordance
with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of
such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in
connection therewith that are reimbursable to it, without being required
to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for
the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property
so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any
portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed
the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its
interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale
thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and
(v) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be
bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of
any monies.
Section 5.16 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and
recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any
of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).
Section 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
--------------------------------------------------
(a)Promptly following a written request from the Enhancer or the
Indenture Trustee (with the written consent of the Enhancer), the Issuer, in its
capacity as owner of the Mortgage Loans, shall, with the written consent of the
Enhancer, take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to
cause the Issuer to compel or secure the performance and observance by the
Sellers and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, including the
transmission of notices of default on the part of the Sellers or the Servicer
thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings
to compel or secure performance by the Sellers or the Servicer of each of their
obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.
39
(b)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the rights
of the Enhancer under the Servicing Agreement, may, and at the direction (which
direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly
thereafter)) of the Noteholders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes, shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of
the Issuer against the Sellers or the Servicer under or in connection with the
Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to
take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Sellers or
the Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval,
extension or waiver under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as
the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall not be
suspended. In connection therewith, as determined by the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the Indenture Trustee.
ARTICLE VI
The Indenture Trustee
Section 6.01 Duties of Indenture Trustee.
---------------------------
(a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such Person's own affairs.
(b)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates, reports or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however,
that the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates, reports and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture.
(c)The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:
(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (a) of
this Section 6.01;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it
is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
40
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11 or
any direction from the Enhancer that the Enhancer is entitled to give
under any of the Basic Documents.

(f)No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture
Trustee 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 it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.
(g)Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of TIA.
(h)With respect to each Payment Date, on the Business Day

Section 6.02 Rights of Indenture Trustee.
---------------------------
(a)The Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors, or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, consent or other document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
any such document.
(b)Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on any such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c)The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the
supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with
due care by it hereunder.
(d)The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee's
conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(e)The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice
or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture
and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
(f)The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(g)Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
Indenture Trustee 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 the Enhancer or the
Noteholders representing a majority of the aggregate Note Balance; 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 the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not assured
to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
taking any such action.
42
(h)The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request,
order or direction of any of the Enhancer or the Noteholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless the Enhancer or the Noteholders shall have
offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Indenture Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured
or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such investor's own affairs.
Section 6.03 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.
Section 6.04 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be (i) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) accountable for the Issuer's use
of the proceeds from the Notes or (iii) responsible for any statement of the
Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale
of the Notes or in the Notes, other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of
authentication thereon.
Section 6.05 Notice of Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, and if such Event of Default is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee, then the Indenture Trustee shall give notice
thereof to the Enhancer. The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder
notice of such Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the
case of an Event of Default with respect to the payment of principal of or
interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders.
Section 6.06 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable such Noteholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In
addition, upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such
information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is reasonably available to
the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform its federal and state
income tax reporting obligations.
Section 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be
compensated and indemnified by the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.06 of
43
the Servicing Agreement. All amounts owing the Indenture Trustee hereunder in
excess of such amount, as well as any amount owed to the Indenture Trustee in
accordance with Section 6.06 of the Servicing Agreement, to the extent the
Servicer has failed to pay such amount, shall be paid solely as provided in
Section 3.05 hereof (subject to the priorities set forth therein). The Indenture
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including
costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.
The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss,
liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify
the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer
shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer is
not obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in clause (c) or (d) of the definition thereof with respect to the
Issuer, such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 6.08 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may
resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Enhancer. The Enhancer or
the Noteholders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes may
remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the
Enhancer (if given by such Noteholders) and may appoint a successor Indenture
Trustee. Unless a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the
appointment of any successor Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the prior
written approval of the Servicer. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee
if:
(a)the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
(b)the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
(c)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee
or its property; or
(d)the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
fulfilling its duties under the Basic Documents.
44
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of
the Enhancer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee shall resign to avoid being directly or indirectly controlled
by the Issuer.
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to
the successor Indenture Trustee.
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, then the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of a majority of aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
Section 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Xxxxxx. 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, then the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating
Agencies with written notice of any such transaction occurring after the Closing
Date.
If at the time of any such succession by merger, conversion or
consolidation, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
then any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated. If at such time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases, such certificates
shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
Section 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture
Trustee.

time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at such 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 Issuer, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders,
such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, 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 trustee under Section 6.11, and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.08 hereof.
(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:

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

the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.

the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and

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

and in the Notes contained;
(iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit of
the Noteholders or the Enhancer, or to surrender any right or power
herein conferred upon the Issuer;
(iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property
to or with the Indenture Trustee;
(v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct any error or to
correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental
indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in
any supplemental indenture;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
indenture; provided, that such action shall not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Enhancer (as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel);
(vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes
and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall
be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or
(viii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
qualification of this Indenture under TIA or under any similar federal
statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other
provisions as may be expressly required by TIA;
52
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into
unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the execution of such supplemental indenture will not give rise to
any material adverse tax consequence to the Noteholders.
The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained.
(b)The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an
Issuer Request, may, without the consent of any Noteholder but with prior notice
to the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture;
provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, (i) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Noteholder or the Enhancer or (ii) cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity
level tax.
Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request, may,
with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Enhancer
and the Noteholders of not less than a majority of the Note Balances of each
Class of Notes affected thereby, by Act (as defined in Section 10.03 hereof) of
such Noteholders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders
under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall, without the consent of the Noteholder of each Note affected thereby:
(a)change the date of payment of any installment of principal of
or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the Note Rate
thereon, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of
collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of
principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or
the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this
Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in
Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
respective due dates thereof;
(b)reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of any Class of
Notes, the consent of the Noteholders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Noteholders of which is required
for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
Indenture;
53
(c)modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the
term "Outstanding" or modify or alter the exception in the definition of the
term "Noteholder";
(d)reduce the percentage of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or
liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04;
(e)modify any provision of this Section 9.02 except to increase
any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions
of this Indenture or the other Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived
without the consent of the Noteholder of each Note affected thereby;
(f)modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner
as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or
principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any
of the individual components of such calculation); or
(g)permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a
parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust
Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the
lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
Noteholder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture;
and provided further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax.
The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination
shall be conclusive upon the Noteholders of all Notes, whether theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.
It shall not be necessary for any Act (as defined in Section 10.03
hereof) of Noteholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of
any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act
shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Noteholders of the Notes to which such amendment or
supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee
to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and,
subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.
54
Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall
be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with
respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX shall conform to the requirements of TIA as in effect at the time of
such amendment or supplement so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified
under TIA.
Section 9.06 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee,
shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any
matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in
the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous
Section 10.01 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.
-----------------------------------------
(a)Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer

Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition
or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:
55
(i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or
opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and
the definitions herein relating thereto;

to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;
(iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with; and
(v) if the signer of such certificate or opinion is

(b)(i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property
or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 10.01(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer
of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.
(ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i)
above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the
Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such
securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the
commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth
in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this
clause (ii), is 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,
but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any
securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set
forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
than one percent of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes.
(iii) Whenever any property or securities are to be
released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to
the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value
(within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed
to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the
proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof.
56
(iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause
(iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the
property or securities and of all other property, other than property as
contemplated by clause (v) below or securities released from the lien of
this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current calendar year,
as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this
clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any
release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth
in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than
one percent of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, the
Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other
provisions of this Section 10.01, (A) collect upon, sell or otherwise
dispose of the Mortgage Loans as and to the extent permitted or required
by the Basic Documents or (B) make cash payments out of the Note Payment
Account as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic
Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
every six months, commencing December 31, 2002, an Officer's Certificate
of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of Collateral described
in clauses (A) or (B) above that occurred during the preceding six
calendar months (or such longer period, in the case of the first such
Officer's Certificate) were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's
business and that the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with
the Basic Documents.
Section 10.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
------------------------------------------------
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of either Seller or
the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is
in the possession of either Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
57
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section 10.03 Acts of Noteholders.
-------------------
(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents
duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in
this Section 10.03.
(b)The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c)The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Noteholder of any Note shall bind the
Noteholder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to
be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or
not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Section 10.04 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Enhancer and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:
(a)the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
58
writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office with a
copy to Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx,

(b)the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust
2002-HE3, in care of the Owner Trustee, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer. The Issuer shall
promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the
Indenture Trustee, or
(c)the Enhancer by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholders shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder to in writing and
mailed, first-class postage pre-paid, or personally delivered or telecopied to:
MBIA Insurance Corporation, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention:

2002-HE3), telecopier number (000) 000-0000. The Enhancer shall promptly
transmit any notice received by it from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the
Noteholders to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.
Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of
Fitch, at the following address: Fitch Ratings, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx

Section 10.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of
whether such notice is in fact actually received.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
59
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result
of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure
to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.
Section 10.06 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee to such Noteholder, that is
different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or
notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such
agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices
to be given in accordance with such agreements.
Section 10.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to
be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of TIA, such required
provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA xx.xx. 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 10.08 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings
herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 10.09 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.
Section 10.10 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Notes shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 10.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, the Enhancer, and
any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. The Enhancer shall be a third party
beneficiary of this Agreement.
60
Section 10.12 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.
Section 10.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.14 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 10.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the
effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the
Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any
right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
Section 10.16 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their respective individual capacities), and except that any such
partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For
all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the
Trust Agreement.
Section 10.17 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this
Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.
61
Section 10.18 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants,
and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's
officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all
reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to
the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
