Pursuant to the Participation, the Company shall, upon receipt by it of any Participation Amounts pay to the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof an amount calculated by reference to such Participation Amount and equal to such amount as is required to be so paid pursuant to Section 3.01(f)(iv).

The obligation of the Company to pay to the Trustee amounts calculated by reference to each Participation Amount shall constitute an obligation to account for and pay such amounts so calculated to the Trustee and shall not constitute, and shall not be construed as, the repayment or discharge of any loan or advance or the payment of any amount by way of interest or of an obligation to account for such Participation Amounts thereunder (but rather to pay amounts calculated by reference thereto) and, notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement, the Participation shall not constitute or effect any transfer or conveyance of any right, title or interest in or to any of the Participation Assets subject to the security interest granted hereunder to the Trustee.

The security interest granted in favor of the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall be granted to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and each reference in this Agreement to such security interest shall be construed accordingly.

XXXXXX BANK (IRELAND) PLC” AND ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO.”

The foregoing grant of the Participation and the security interest does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust, the Trustee, any Investor Certificateholder or the Company, in their capacity as a Holder, of any obligation of the Master Servicer, the Company, an Originator or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, any obligation to any Obligor.

In this Agreement (including Annex X), notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents:

(i) all references to the Company having an interest in Receivables or Collections shall be construed as references to the Company being the sole beneficial owner of such Receivables and Collections, subject only to the security interest granted by the Company under Section 2.01;

(ii) all references to the Trustee or Investor Certificateholders having any entitlement to or interest in any Receivables or Collections shall be construed as references to their having a right of participation and a security interest as provided for in Section 2.01 and all references to their having a right to receive Collections or to Collections being received or held for their benefit shall be construed as references to

their having a right to receive amounts calculated by reference to Collections pursuant to the Participation granted hereunder and to such amounts being received or held for their benefit;

(iii) all references to the Trustee allocating to the Company any Collections or distributing or transferring any amount to the Company (whether by transfer to any Company Receipts Account or otherwise) from a Company Concentration Account shall be construed as references to the Trustee making such allocations, distributions and transfers by way of release of such amounts from the security interest created under Section 2.01(b) in recognition of the payment by the Company in whole or in part of amounts payable by it under the Participation granted under Section 2.01(a) above;

(iv) all references to the Trustee transferring any amounts from any Company Concentration Account to any Series Concentration Account shall be construed as references to the Trustee making such transfers (with the written authority of the Company) pursuant to the Company’s obligation to make payments to the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders pursuant to the Participation granted under Section 2.01(a);

(v) all references to the Trustee allocating to the Company any Series Amounts (or parts thereof) or making any distribution to the Company from any Series Concentration Account or subaccount thereof or transferring any amount from any Series Concentration Account to any Company Receipts Account shall be construed as references to the Trustee making such allocations, distributions and transfers on behalf of the relevant Series (and out of funds beneficially owned by the Series) in consideration of the granting by the Company to the Trustee of the Participation described in Section 2.01(a) (such consideration being in addition, where applicable, to the payment of the Initial Invested Amount in accordance with Section 5.02);

(vi) it is hereby acknowledged that any Series Amounts shall be held by the Trustee for the account of Investor Certificateholders of the relevant Series (as the beneficial owners thereof), subject to the Trustee being hereby authorized by the relevant Series to apply such amounts on behalf of the Series in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents. Accordingly, all references to the Company having any interest in any Series Amounts shall be construed as references to the Company being entitled to the benefit of the allocations, distributions and transfers referred to in (v) above;

(vii) all references to the Company purchasing any interest in Receivables or Collections from the Trustee or any Certificateholders including any such references contained in Section 2.06 and 9.02 shall be construed as references to the Company discharging all or part (as appropriate) of its obligations in respect of the Participation granted by it in respect of such Receivables and Collections and thereby procuring a

corresponding release, to the same extent, of any related security interest granted by it in respect of such Receivables and Collections;

(viii) any (a) requirement on the Company to deal or not to deal with Receivables or Collections in any particular way and any restrictions on the exercise by the Company of any of its continuing rights of beneficial ownership in respect of the Receivables and Collections and (b) authority given by the Company to the Trustee in relation to any Collection Account and any Company Concentration Account shall be taken as forming part of the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders (which interest secures the obligations of the Company under the participation granted by it hereunder) and shall subsist only for so long as the said security interest subsists and until the same is fully discharged;

(ix) all references to the Company agreeing to decrease the amount of its Exchangeable Company Interest by any amount (the “Relevant Amount”) shall be taken to be references to the Company agreeing to pay the Relevant Amount pursuant to the Participation granted under Section 2.01(a) (in addition to any other amounts payable by the Company pursuant thereto) on the earliest occasion when sufficient Collections are available for that purpose;

(x) all references to the Trustee or Investor Certificateholders having any interest in any Participation Amounts shall be taken to be references to the rights of the Trustee, as against the Company, to receive payments from the Company (for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders) pursuant to the Participation granted under Section 2.01(a), such rights being secured by the security interest granted by the Company hereunder in relation to the Participation Amounts;

(xi) all references to Receivables “contributed from Huntsman International to the Company” or Receivables “contributed from the Contributor to the Company” shall be deemed to include Receivables subrogated, sold or otherwise transferred directly from an Originator or other entity to the Company;

(xii) all provisions applicable to Receivables contributed to the Company from Huntsman International shall be deemed to be equally applicable to Receivables subrogated, sold or otherwise transferred from an Originator or other entity to the Company; and

(xiii) it is acknowledged that there shall be no loan by any Investor Certificateholders of any Series to the Trustee or the Company and that any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Trustee shall be by way of Participation in relation to the Receivables and is not in respect of any borrowing by the Company or by the Trustee on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, any references in this Agreement or any Supplement to amounts being distributable by the Trustee to the Investor Certificateholders in respect of amounts described as “interest” or “principal” (and all like expressions) shall be construed as

references to amounts which the Investor Certificateholders are entitled to receive in their capacity as holders of fractional undivided interests in the relevant Participation, being amounts which are calculated primarily by reference to costs and outgoings which are (or are expected to be) incurred by Investor Certificateholders in funding their acquisition and holding of said interests.

In connection with its grant of the Participation, the Company further agrees, at its own expense, on each Receivables Purchase Date, (A) to direct (or cause the Master Servicer to direct) each Originator to identify on its extraction records relating to Receivables from its master database of receivables, that the Receivables have been conveyed to Huntsman International pursuant to one of the Origination Agreements, (B) to direct the Master Servicer to maintain a record-keeping system that will clearly and unambiguously indicate, in the Master Servicer’s files maintained on behalf of the Company that such Receivables have been contributed by the Huntsman International to the Company and a Participation and a security interest have been granted by the Company to the Trust for the benefit of the Holders and (C) to deliver or transmit or cause the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company to deliver or transmit to the Trustee a Daily Report containing at least the information specified in Exhibit B as to all Receivables, as of each related Receivables Contribution Date, in each case in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

SECTION 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.

result in material impairment of the interests, rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders with respect to any Receivable) as of the related Receivables Contribution Date.

(b) No Liens. Each Eligible Receivable existing on the Effective Date or, in the case of Eligible Receivables in which a Participation and security interest is granted to the Trust after the Effective Date, on the related Receivables Contribution Date was, on such date, free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

is a breach of any covenant under Section 2.08(b) with respect to any Receivable or (iii) the Trust’s interest in any Receivable is not a continuing first priority perfected security interest at any time as a result of any action taken by, or the failure to take action by, the Company (any Receivable as to which the conditions specified in any of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.05(a) exists is referred to herein as an “Ineligible Receivable”) then, after the earlier (the date on which such earlier event occurs, the “Ineligibility Determination Date”) to occur of the discovery by the Master Servicer of any such event that continues unremedied or receipt by the Company of written notice (which may be in the Daily Report) given by the Master Servicer of any such event that continues unremedied, the Company shall pay to the Trustee the Adjustment Payment in the amount and manner set forth in Section 2.05(b) hereof.

(b) Adjustment Payment Amount. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(b), the Company may (i) reduce the amount of its Exchangeable Company Interest by an amount equal to the difference between (x) minus (y) below and, to the extent such reduction is insufficient to satisfy its obligations hereunder the Company shall make an Adjustment Payment with respect to each Ineligible Receivable, (ii) make an Adjustment Payment in an amount equal to the difference between (x) minus (y) below or (iii) fully reduce its Exchangeable Company Interest to cover its obligations hereunder with respect to such Ineligible Receivable, each as required pursuant to Section 2.05(a) by depositing in the applicable currency Company Concentration Account on the Business Day following the related Ineligibility Determination Date an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount by which the Aggregate Target Receivables Amount exceeds the Aggregate Receivables Amount (after giving effect to the reduction thereof by the Principal Amount of such Ineligible Receivable) and (y) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of all such Ineligible Receivables less any Collections in respect of such Ineligible Receivable thereto for applied by or on behalf of the Master Servicer.

Upon such reduction of its Exchangeable Company Interest or upon transfer or deposit of the Adjustment Payment amount specified in this Section 2.05(b), as the case may be, the Company shall be entitled to retain without recourse, representation or warranty, all subsequent Collections (or amounts in respect thereof) received by it in respect of each such Ineligible Receivable and such Collections shall not form part of the Participation Assets. The obligation of the Company to reduce its Exchangeable Company interest or to pay such Adjustment Payment amount specified in this Section 2.05(b), as the case may be, with respect to any Ineligible Receivables in which a security interest was granted by it, respectively, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of Investor Certificateholders) unless such obligation is not satisfied in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.06 Purchase of Investor Certificateholders’ Interest in the Participation.

(a) In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 as of the date made which breach has a Material Adverse Effect, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Funding Agent(s) for Holders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Invested Amount shall notify the Company (with a copy to the Master Servicer) to pay to the Trust an amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.06(b), with reference to the Investor Certificateholders’ Interest for such affected Outstanding Series and pursuant to such notice, the Company shall be obligated to make such payment in respect of such affected Investor Certificateholders’ Interest on the Business Day occurring not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b) below; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required to be made if, by such Business Day, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a Responsible Officer’s certificate to the effect that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.03 shall then be true and correct in all material respects and any Material Adverse Effect caused thereby shall have been cured.

(b) If required by the provisions of Section 2.06(a), the Company shall deposit into the appropriate Series Concentration Account on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date referred to in Section 2.06(a) above, an amount in U.S. Dollars or Euro (as applicable) equal to the purchase price (as described in the next succeeding sentence) for the affected Investor Certificateholders’ Interest for such affected Outstanding Series on such day. The purchase price for any such purchase will be equal to (i) the Adjusted Invested Amount of such Outstanding Series on the date on which the purchase is made plus (ii) an amount equal to all interest accrued but unpaid on such Series up to (but excluding) the Distribution Date on which the distribution of such deposit is scheduled to be made pursuant to Section 9.02 plus (iii) any other amount required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to any Supplement.

(ii) If, on any Special Allocation Settlement Report Date, either of the Allocable Charged-Off Amount or the Allocable Recoveries Amount is greater than zero for the related Settlement Period, the Trustee shall (in accordance with written directions received pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii)) make (A) a pro rata allocation to each Outstanding Series (based on the Invested Percentage for such Series) of a portion (as determined in clause (iii) below) of each such positive amount and (B) a pro rata allocation to the Exchangeable Company Interest of the remaining portion of each such positive amount.

(iii) With respect to each portion of the Allocable Charged-Off Amount and the Allocable Recoveries Amount which is allocated to an Outstanding Series pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(ii), the Trustee shall (in accordance with the written direction of the Master Servicer) apply each such amount to such Series in accordance with the related Supplement for such Series.

(h) Allocations for the Exchangeable Company Interest. On each Business Day and, after the occurrence and continuation of a Potential Early Amortization Event or an Early Amortization Event in each case set forth in Section 7.1 of the Agreement, and until the Trust Termination Date, on each Distribution Date, after making all transfers and allocations required pursuant to Section 3.01(f), the Trustee shall (in accordance with the written direction of the

Master Servicer (which may be given in the form of the Daily Report) upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) transfer no later than 2:30 p.m. London time, on such Business Day, the amounts on deposit in the Company Receipts Accounts to the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest or to such accounts or such Persons as the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest may direct in writing (which direction may consist of standing instructions provided by the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest that shall remain in effect until changed by such holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest in writing); provided, however, that a transfer for purposes of this Section 3.0(h) shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as the Trustee instructs the bank at which the Company Concentration Accounts are held to debit the Company Concentration Accounts in the amount of the outgoing amount; provided, further, that a failure of the Trustee to transfer funds by 2:30 p.m. London time, shall not be a breach of this Section 3.01(h) if (i) the same bank wire transfer program is not used by the Company and the Trustee to make such transfers or (ii) a Trustee/Master Servicer Force Majeure Delay occurs, and in either such event the Trustee shall use its best efforts to transfer funds within a reasonable time.

(i) Setoff. In addition to the provisions of Section 8.05, (i) if the Company shall fail to make a payment as provided in this Agreement or any Supplement, the Trustee may set off and apply any amounts otherwise payable to the Company under any Transaction Document. The Company hereby waives demand, notice or declaration of such setoff and application; and (ii) in the event the Master Servicer shall fail to make a payment as provided in any Transaction Document, the Trustee may set off and apply any amounts otherwise payable to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under the Transaction Documents on account of such obligation. The Master Servicer hereby waives demand, notice or declaration of such setoff and application.

(j) Allocation and Application of Funds. The Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing (which may be given in the form of the Daily Reports and the Monthly Settlement Reports) to apply all amounts computed by reference to Aggregate Daily Collections with respect to the Receivables as described in this Article III and in the Supplement with respect to each Outstanding Series. The Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to pay such collections and other amounts to the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest to the extent such amounts are allocated to the Exchangeable Company Interest under Section 3.01(h) and as otherwise provided in Article III if and to the extent that such amounts represent amounts transferred to a Company Receipts Account pursuant to Section 3.01(f)(vi) or (as the case may be) Section 3.01(f)(vii) such amounts shall be paid to the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interests by way of consideration for the grant of the Participation pursuant to Section 2.01(a). Unless otherwise provided in one or more Supplements, if the Trustee receives any Daily Report at or before 12:30 p.m. London time, on any Business Day, the Trustee shall make any applications of funds required thereby on the same Business Day, but in any event no later than 2:30 p.m. London time and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.

(k) FX Forward Payments.

(i) All payments made under the FX Forward Agreements shall be paid directly into the applicable Company Concentration Account.

(ii) If the payments under the FX Forward Agreements are deposited into a Company Concentration Account pursuant to the preceding Section 3.01(k)(i) no later than 12:30 p.m. London time, and the Daily Report specified in Section 3.01(b)(ii) is received by the Trustee no later than 12:30 p.m. London time, the Trustee shall transfer, within a reasonable time, on such Business Day, from the Company Concentration Accounts, to the respective Series Concentration Accounts, an amount equal to the product of (x) the payments that have been made under the FX Forward Agreements (in accordance with the Daily Report which should be reconciled with balances in the Company Concentration Accounts) and (y) a percentage with respect to each Series determined as (A) the Invested Amount with respect to such Series at such time divided by (B) the Invested Amount with respect to all Series at such time.

(iii) If the applicable amount referred to in Section 3.01(k)(ii) is deposited into a Series Concentration Account no later than 12:30 p.m. London time, and the Daily Report is received by the Trustee no later than 12:30 p.m. London time, as set forth in the preceding Section 3.01(k)(ii), the Trustee shall transfer, within a reasonable time but in any event no later than 2:30 p.m. London time funds, on such Business Day, from the Series Concentration Account for each Outstanding Series to the Series Non-Principal Concentration Subaccount, the Series Principal Concentration Subaccount and the Series Accrued Interest Subaccount of each such Series in accordance with the Daily Report and the related Supplement for such Series.

SECTION 5.01 The Investor Certificates.

The Investor Certificates of each Series and any Class thereof shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement. The Investor Certificates shall, upon issue, be executed by the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust and without the Trustee incurring any personal liability in respect of the Investor Certificates) and the Trustee shall authenticate and redeliver the Investor Certificates as provided in Section 5.02. Except as otherwise set forth as to any Series or Class in the related Supplement, the Investor Certificates shall be issued by the Trust in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Investor Certificate shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature by the Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee on behalf of the Trustee. Investor Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to or on the date of the authentication and delivery of such Investor Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of such Investor Certificates. No Investor Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Investor Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory, and such certificate of authentication upon any Investor Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Investor Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Investor Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication but failure to do so shall not render them invalid. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement for each Series, Investor Certificates for each Series and any Class thereof shall be in fully registered form.

In addition to the foregoing, the Supplement for each Series may specify the relevant terms with respect to such Series, which terms may include, as applicable: (i) its name or designation, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Investor Certificates of such Series, (iii) the Certificate Rate (or the method for calculating such Certificate Rate) with respect to such Series, (iv) the interest payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue, (v) the method of applying Collections with respect to such Series towards the satisfaction of amounts payable by the Company in respect of Investor Certificates of such Series and the method by which the principal amount of Investor Certificates of such Series shall amortize or accrete, (vi) the names of any accounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such account, (vii) whether the Investor Certificates of such Series may be issued in bearer form or registered form and any limitations imposed on transfer, sale or exchange thereon, including the limitations provided in Section l65(j) and 1287(a) of the Code, (viii) the Series Termination Date, (ix) whether the Investor Certificates will be issued in multiple classes and, if so, the method of applying Collections among such classes as described under clause (v) of this paragraph and (x) any other relevant terms of such Series of Investor Certificates that do not (subject to Sections 8.14 and 10.01(b) hereof) change the terms of any Outstanding Series of Investor Certificates or otherwise materially conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.02 Authentication of Certificates.

(a) Authentication and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the initial Series of Investor Certificates that are issued upon the written order of the Master Servicer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the holders of the initial Series of Investor Certificates, against payment for the first Series issued by the Trustee of the Initial Invested

Amount to the Company. The Investor Certificates shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) such Initial Invested Amount. Upon a Company Exchange as provided in Section 5.11 and the satisfaction of the conditions specified therein, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of additional Series (with the designation provided in the applicable Supplement) (or, if provided in any Supplement, the additional Investor Certificates of an existing Series), upon the written order of the Company, to the Persons designated in such Supplement. Upon the written order of the Master Servicer, the Investor Certificates of any Series shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee, in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) the Initial Invested Amount of such Series of Investor Certificates.

(b) Company Certificates. Upon written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Company one or more certificates representing the Exchangeable Company Interest in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Such certificates shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee in denominations as requested by the Company. The Company shall pay all costs associated with such issuance of certificates.

SECTION 5.03 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Investor Certificates.

(a) With respect to Investor Certificates of a Series which are issued in registered form, the Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the Trustee) (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Investor Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. The Company hereby appoints X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc as Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purpose of registering the Investor Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc shall continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Trustee has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar reasonably acceptable to the Company and such successor Transfer Agent and Registrar has accepted such appointment. The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05, and 10.19 shall apply to X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) also in its role as Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, for so long as X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) shall act as Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Company hereby jointly and severally agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for its services under this Section 5.03 and under Section 5.10. The Trustee

hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company, it shall pay the Transfer Agent and Registrar such amounts.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Investor Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute (on behalf of the Trust), and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Company, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Investor Certificates in authorized denominations of the same Series (and Class) representing like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests and which bear numbers that are not contemporaneously outstanding.

At the option of an Investor Certificateholder, Investor Certificates may be exchanged for other Investor Certificates of the same Series (and Class) in authorized denominations of like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, bearing numbers that are not contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender of the Investor Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose.

Whenever any Investor Certificates of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute (on behalf of the Trust), and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Company, authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver, the Investor Certificates of such Series which the Investor Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, with sufficient instructions, duly executed by the Investor Certificateholder thereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing delivered to the Trustee (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case to the Transfer Agent and Registrar) and complying with any requirements set forth in the applicable Supplement.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require any Investor Certificateholder that is transferring or exchanging one or more Investor Certificates to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates.

All Investor Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be cancelled and disposed of in a customary manner satisfactory to the Trustee.

The Trustee (on behalf of the Trust and without incurring personal liability with respect to the Investor Certificates) shall execute and deliver Investor Certificates to the Transfer Agent and Registrar in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Transfer Agent and Registrar to fulfill their respective responsibilities under this Agreement and the Investor Certificates.

(b) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in Ireland and, subject to Section 5.03(a), if specified in the related Supplement for any Series, any other city outside the United Kingdom designated in such Supplement, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Investor Certificates may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange.

(c) Unless otherwise stated in any related Supplement, registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing a legend relating to restrictions on transfer of such Investor Certificates (which legend shall be set forth in the Supplement relating to such Investor Certificates) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in the related Supplement are complied with.

Investor Certificates issued upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, Investor Certificates bearing the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed.

SECTION 5.04 Additional Issuance of Certificates.

(a) The Company may cause the Trustee to issue one or more additional Series. To the extent provided in the related Supplement, the Company may cause the Trustee to increase the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates of an Outstanding Series and an increase in any related Subordinated Company Interests.

(b) A new issuance or an additional issuance, as the case may be, may only occur upon delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, the following: (i) an additional Supplement specifying the principal terms of such Series (except in the case of an additional issuance to the extent provided in the related Supplement) and (ii) the applicable credit enhancement, if any.

SECTION 5.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Investor Certificates.

With respect to Investor Certificates of a Series which are issued in registered form, if (a) any mutilated Investor Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Investor Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Trust, each of them and the Company harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Trustee or Transfer Agent and Registrar that such Investor Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver on behalf of the Trust, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Certificate, a new Investor Certificate of like tenor and aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest and bearing a number that is not contemporaneously outstanding. In connection with the issuance of any new Investor Certificate under this Section 5.05, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by the Investor Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Investor Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally

issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Investor Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.06 Persons Deemed Owners.

At all times prior to due presentation of an Investor Certificate for registration of transfer, if applicable, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, any Funding Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Investor Certificate is registered as the owner of such Investor Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV of the related Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.06, in determining whether the Investor Certificateholders of the requisite Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Investor Certificates owned by the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Investor Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Investor Certificates so owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Investor Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate thereof.

SECTION 5.07 Appointment of Paying Agent; Distributions by Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Investor Certificateholders from the Series Concentration Accounts (and/or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Investor Certificateholders as specified in the related Supplement for any Series) pursuant to Articles III and IV. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement for any Series and with respect to such Series, the Paying Agent shall initially be X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc and any co-paying agent chosen by X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc. Each Paying Agent other than the Initial Paying Agent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. In the event that the Paying Agent shall so resign, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a depositary institution or trust company) reasonably acceptable to the Company which appointment shall be effective on the date on which the Person so appointed gives the Trustee written notice that it accepts the appointment. Any resignation or removal of the Paying Agent and appointment of successor Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Paying Agent, as provided in this Section 5.07. The Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such

Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 10.19 shall apply to X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as X.X. Xxxxxx Bank (Ireland) plc (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

The Company hereby agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to the Paying Agent for its services under this Section 5.07. The Trustee hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company, it shall pay the Paying Agent such amounts.

SECTION 5.08 Access to List of Investor Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

With respect to Investor Certificates of a Series which are issued in registered form, the Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Company, the Master Servicer or the Paying Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Company, the Master Servicer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders as then recorded by or on behalf of the Trustee. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of such list shall constitute Program Costs under the Supplement for the applicable Series. If three or more Investor Certificateholders of record or any Investor Certificateholder of any Series or a group of Investor Certificateholders of record representing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 10% of the Invested Amount of the related Outstanding Series (the “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall transmit or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to transmit, such communication to the Investor Certificateholders reasonably promptly after the receipt of such application.

Every Investor Certificateholder, by receiving and holding an Investor Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents, officers, directors or employees shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure or mailing of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the sources from which such information was derived.

As soon as practicable following each Record Date, the Trustee shall provide to the Paying Agent or its designee, a list of Investor Certificateholders in such form as the Paying Agent may reasonably request.

SECTION 5.09 Authenticating Agent

(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Investor Certificates which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Investor Certificates in connection with the issuance,

delivery, registration of transfer (if applicable), exchange or repayment of the Investor Certificates; provided, that each such authenticating agent shall satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a). Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Investor Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.

(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate trust business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent; provided such institution satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a).

(c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee. Upon the receipt by the Trustee of any such notice of resignation and upon the giving of any such notice of termination by the Trustee, the Trustee shall immediately give notice of such resignation or termination to the Company.

(d) Any resignation of an authenticating agent shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor authenticating agent as provided in this Section 5.09. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or fail to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.06, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent.

(e) Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent (other than an Affiliate of the Trustee) shall be appointed unless such authenticating agent (i) is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Company and (ii) satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a).

(f) The Company hereby agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to each authenticating agent for its services under this Section 5.09. The Trustee hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company, it shall pay each authenticating agent such amounts.

(g) The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 10.18 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

(h) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 5.09, the Investor Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of

authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

“This is one of the Investor Certificates

SECTION 5.10 Tax Treatment.

It is the intent of the Master Servicer, the Company, the Investor Certificateholders and the Trustee that, under applicable U.S. Federal, State and local income and franchise tax laws (but for no other purpose), the Investor Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of the Company secured by the Participation Assets and that the Trust will not be characterized as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, by entering into this Agreement, and each Investor Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its Investor Certificate, agree to treat, except as otherwise required by law, the Investor Certificates for applicable U.S. Federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes (but for no other purpose) as indebtedness of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. This Section 5.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be binding on all transferees of any of the foregoing persons.

SECTION 5.11 Exchangeable Company Interest.

(a) The Company may decrease the amount of its Exchangeable Company Interest in exchange for (i) an increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates of an Outstanding Series and an increase in any related Subordinated Company Interests in connection with an issuance of additional Investor Certificates of such Outstanding Series in accordance with the respective Supplement or (ii) one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates and any related newly issued Subordinated Company Interests (any such decrease, a “Company Exchange”). A Company Exchange shall not be necessary in connection with an increase in the Invested Amount of any Investor Certificates issued in a Series with an Invested Amount that may increase or decrease from time to time. Such Investor Certificates are expected to be designated as “Variable Funding Certificates” or “VFC Certificates”. The Master Servicer may perform a Company Exchange by notifying the

Trustee, in writing at least twenty (20) Business Days in advance (an “Exchange Notice”) of the date upon which the Company Exchange is to occur (an “Exchange Date”). Any Exchange Notice given by the Company shall state the designation of any Series to be issued on the Exchange Date and, with respect to each such Series: (a) its additional or Initial Invested Amount, as the case may be, if any, which in the aggregate at any time may not be greater than the current principal amount of the Company’s Exchangeable Company Interest if any, at such time and (b) its Certificate Rate (or the method for allocating interest payments or other cash flow to such Series), if any. On the Exchange Date, the Trustee shall only (i) authenticate and deliver any Investor Certificates evidencing an increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates or a newly issued Series and (ii) permit the issuance of any related Subordinated Company Interests, upon delivery to the Trustee of the following (together with the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of any additional agreements, instruments or other documents as are specified in the related Supplement): (a) a Supplement executed by the Master Servicer and the Company and specifying the Principal Terms of such Series (provided that no such Supplement shall be required for any increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates, and any related increase in any related Subordinated Company Interests, unless it is so required by the related Supplement), (b) a Tax Opinion addressed to the Trustee and the Trust, (c) a General Opinion addressed to the Trustee and the Trust, (d) a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Company certifying that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Investor Certificates have been satisfied and upon which Responsible Officer’s certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely, (e) the receipt of the written consent of each Funding Agent, (f) written instructions of an officer of the Company specifying the amount, Series, Investor Certificates and other Interests to be issued with respect to the Company Exchange and (g) the applicable Investor Certificates if necessary. Upon delivery of the items listed in clauses (a) through (g) above and satisfaction of any conditions set forth in any Supplement for an Outstanding Series, the existing Exchangeable Company Interest and the applicable Subordinated Company Interests, as the case may be, shall be deemed adjusted as of such Exchange Date, and the new Subordinated Company Interests, if any, shall be deemed duly created as of such Exchange Date, in each case as provided above. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 a register (the “Exchange Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall record all Company Exchanges and the amount of the Exchangeable Company Interest following any Company Exchange. There is no limit to the number of Company Exchanges that the Company may perform under this Agreement. If the Company shall, on any Exchange Date, retain any Investor Certificates issued on such Exchange Date, it shall, prior to transferring any such Investor Certificates to another Person, obtain a Tax Opinion. Additional restrictions relating to a Company Exchange may be set forth in any Supplement.

(b) Upon any Company Exchange, the Trustee, in accordance with the written directions of the Master Servicer shall issue to the Company under Section

Any such Investor Certificates shall be substantially in the form specified in the applicable Supplement and each shall bear, upon its face, the designation for such Series to which each such Certificate belongs so selected by the Master Servicer.

(c) In conjunction with a Company Exchange, the parties hereto shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.11(a) above, execute a Supplement to this Agreement, which shall define, with respect to any additional Investor Certificates or newly issued Series, as the case may be: (i) its name or designation, (ii) its additional or initial principal amount, as the case may be (or method for calculating such amount), (iii) whether the Investor Certificates for such Series may be issued in bearer form or registered form and any limitations imposed thereon on transfer, sale or exchange, including the limitations provided in Section 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Code, (iv) its Certificate Rate (or formula for the determination thereof), (v) the interest payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue, (vi) the method for allocating Collections to Holders, (vii) the names of any accounts or subaccounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such accounts or subaccounts, (viii) the issue and terms of a letter of credit or other form of Enhancement, if any, with respect thereto, (ix) the terms on which the Certificates of such Series may be repurchased by the Company or may be remarketed to other investors, (x) the Series Termination Date thereafter, (xi) any deposit account maintained for the benefit of Holders, (xii) the number of classes of such Series, and if more than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class, (xiii) the rights of the holder of such Exchangeable Company Interest that have been transferred to the holders of such Series, (xiv) the designation of any Series Accounts or subaccounts and the terms governing the operation of any such Series Accounts or subaccounts, (xv) provisions acceptable to the Trustee concerning the payment of the Trustee’s fees and expenses and (xvi) other relevant terms (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series).

(d) The Company shall not transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of its Exchangeable Company Interest or any Subordinated Company Interests without (i) the prior written consent of each Funding Agent and (ii) delivery of a Tax Opinion. If the Company shall transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its Exchangeable Company Interest or any Subordinated Company Interests, in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall record the transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition of (i) the Exchangeable Company Interest in the Exchange Register and (ii) any Subordinated Company Interests in a register maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar at its office or agency (the “Subordinated Interest Register”). Any Holder who wishes to transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest or any Subordinated Company Interests held

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest or any Subordinated Company Interests, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require any Holder that is transferring or exchanging all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest or any Subordinated Company Interests to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest or the Subordinated Company Interests.

(e) Except as specified in any Supplement for a related Series, all Investor Certificates of any Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits hereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement.

(f) If the Company reduces its Exchangeable Company Interest pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof, the Company shall immediately notify the Trustee of any such reduction and the Trustee shall make the appropriate notification in its records that such reduction of the Exchangeable Company Interest has been made.

SECTION 5.12 Book-Entry Certificates.

If specified in any related Supplement, the Investor Certificates, or any portion thereof, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Investor Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository specified in such Supplement which shall be the Clearing Agency, specified by, or on behalf of, the Company for such Series. The Investor Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of such Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Book-Entry Holder will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Book-Entry Holder’s interest in the Investor Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.14. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to Investor Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.14 or the related Supplement:

(a) the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Master Servicer (or the Servicer Guarantor on behalf of the Master Servicer) and the Trustee may deal with each Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Investor Certificates) as the Investor Certificateholder without respect to whether there has been any actual authorization of such actions by the Certificate Book-Entry Holders with respect to such actions;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.12 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.12 shall control; and

(d) the rights of Certificate Book-Entry Holders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the related Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such related Certificate Book-Entry Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of amounts due in respect of the Investor Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Class or Series of Investor Certificates may be issued as Book-Entry Certificates (but, instead, shall be issued as Definitive Certificates) unless at the time of issuance of such Class or Series, the Company and the Trustee receive a Tax Opinion.

SECTION 5.13 Notices to Clearing Agency.

Whenever notice or other communication to the Investor Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Book-Entry Holders pursuant to Section 5.14, the Trustee shall prepare and give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Investor Certificateholders to the Clearing Agencies.

SECTION 5.14 Definitive Certificates.

For any series for which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof, if (a)(i) the Master Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that any Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement, and (ii) the Master Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Master Servicer at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through such Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default or an Early Amortization Event, Certificate Book-Entry Holders representing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount held by such Certificate Book-Entry Holders of each affected Series then issued and outstanding advise the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing, and the Clearing Agency shall so notify the Trustee, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Book-Entry Holders, the Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency, which shall be responsible to notify the Certificate Book-Entry Holders, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Book-Entry Holders requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer (or the Servicer Guarantor on its behalf) nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

SECTION 5.15 Securities Act Restrictions.

Investor Certificates may be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or may be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Investor Certificates that have not been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any interest therein may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, and shall not be registered for transfer in the Certificate Register except pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Supplement relating to such Series of Investor Certificates. Such Investor Certificates shall contain a legend substantially to the effect set forth in the related Supplement.

EARLY AMORTIZATION EVENTS

SECTION 7.01 Early Amortization Events.

Unless modified with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates by any related Supplement, if any one of the following events (each, an “Early Amortization Event”) shall occur:

(a) an Insolvency Event shall have occurred with respect to the Trust, the Company, any Originator or Huntsman International;

(b) the Trust or the Company shall become an “investment company” or “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act;

(c) the Trust shall receive a written notice from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service taking the position that the Trust should be characterized for United States federal income tax purposes as a “publicly traded partnership” or as an association taxable as a corporation and counsel to the Company does not provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and each Funding Agent that such claim is without merit; or

(d) no Successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed and accepted such appointment pursuant to and within the grace period set forth in the Servicing Agreement following a Master Servicer Default; or

(e) a Program Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing under any Origination Agreement;

then, an “Early Amortization Period” with respect to all Outstanding Series shall commence without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Investor Certificateholder immediately upon the occurrence of such event. The Master Servicer shall notify each Funding Agent and the Trustee in writing of the occurrence of such Early Amortization Period, specifying the date of the occurrence of such event. Upon the commencement against the Trust, the Company, any Originator or Huntsman International of a case, proceeding or other action described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Insolvency Event”, the Company shall cease to accept contributions of Receivables from the Contributor and cease to grant a Participation or security interest in the Receivables to the Trust, until such time, if any, as such case, proceeding or other action is vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal. If an Insolvency Event with respect to the Trust or the Company

occurs, the Company shall immediately cease to grant a Participation or security interest in Receivables to the Trust (or, if the Company has previously suspended the grant of a Participation or security interest in Receivables to the Trust to comply with the preceding sentence, such suspension shall become a permanent cessation of the grant of a Participation or security interest in Receivables to the Trust) and the entity with respect to which such Insolvency Event has occurred, shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee of such occurrence. Notwithstanding any cessation of the grant of a Participation or security interest in to or granting of a security interest in favor of the Trust of additional Receivables, Receivables participated to or in which a security interest was granted in favor of the Trust prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event and Collections in respect of such Receivables and interest, whenever created, accrued in respect of such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the Trust.

Additional Early Amortization Events and the consequences thereof may be set forth in each Supplement with respect to the Series relating thereto.

SECTION 7.02 Additional Rights upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.

(a) If after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Trust, the Company, any Originator or the Servicer Guarantor, the Aggregate Invested Amount and all accrued and unpaid amounts due in respect thereon have not been paid to the Investor Certificateholders, the Company as beneficial owner of the Receivables acknowledges that the Trustee may in pursuance of the security interest granted hereunder and in accordance with the written direction of the Liquidation Servicer shall send written notice to the Investor Certificateholders and request instructions from such holders, which notice shall request each Certificateholder to advise the Trustee in writing that it elects one of the following options: (A) the Certificateholder wishes the Liquidation Servicer not to so sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables; (B) the Certificateholder wishes the Liquidation Servicer to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables; or (C) the Certificateholder refuses to advise the Trustee as to the specific action the Liquidation Servicer should take. If after 60 days from the day notice is first given, the Trustee shall not have received written instructions selecting option (A) above from (x) Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of each Series (or, in the case of a Series having more than one Class of Investor Certificates, Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of each Class of such Series) and (z) if there are any Holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest other than the Company, the Holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest representing more than 50% of the Company Interest not held by the Company, the Trustee shall proceed to direct the Liquidation Servicer to so sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the Receivables in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and the Trustee shall cause the Liquidation Servicer to consummate the sale, liquidation or disposition of the Receivables as provided above with the highest bidder for the Receivables; provided, however that neither Huntsman International nor any of its Affiliates shall participate in any bidding for the Receivables. The Company hereby expressly waives any rights of redemption or rights to receive notice of any such sale except as may be

required by law. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Liquidation Servicer in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Liquidation Servicer as provided in Section 8.05.

(b) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the Receivables pursuant to Section 7.02(a) above shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables and such proceeds shall be released to the Liquidation Servicer in an amount equal to the amount of any expenses incurred by the Liquidation Servicer acting in its capacity as Liquidation Servicer under this Section 7.02 that have not otherwise been reimbursed and the remainder, if any, will be distributed to Investor Certificateholders of each Series after immediately being deposited in the related Company Concentration Account, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(f) and the related Supplement for such Series. After giving effect to all such distributions, the remainder, if any, shall be allocated to the Exchangeable Company Interest and such amount shall be released to the Holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest.

(c) Subject to Section 8.01(a), no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent, or acted in bad faith, in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith unless grossly negligent;

(iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Master Servicer to comply with any of its obligations, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer, any Funding Agent or any Investor Certificateholder;

(vi) the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Master Servicer or the Servicer Guarantor, nor shall it have any liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Master Servicer or the Servicer Guarantor; the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of the Master Servicer, the Servicer Guarantor or the Company with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Receivables; and the Trustee shall have no duty to perform, except as otherwise required pursuant to the Internal Operating Procedures Memorandum, any recalculation or verification of any calculation with respect to data provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer.

(d) Except as expressly provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust.

(e) Provided that the Master Servicer and the Company shall have provided to the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer, promptly upon request, all books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer and shall have provided the Trustee and the Liquidation

SECTION 8.02 Rights of the Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 and in the Internal Operating Procedures Memorandum:

(a) The Trustee may delegate any of the duties, rights and powers vested in it hereunder to an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that no such delegation shall be effective unless such third party has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and short-term ratings of at least “A-1”/”P-1” by S&P and Xxxxx’x, respectively, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.

The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.

(e) The 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 any Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals.

The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Investor Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Investor Certificates).

The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee annually in advance on the Effective Date and on or about each one year anniversary thereof, a fee agreed upon in writing between the Trustee and the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Company upon its request for all reasonable expenses (including expenses incurred in connection with notices, requests for documentation or other communications to Holders), disbursements, losses, liabilities, damages and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of its status as Trustee under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any co-trustee and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement, loss, liability, damage or advance that is finally judicially determined to have resulted from its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, that any obligation of the Company to make payments under this Section 8.05 shall be Company Subordinated Obligations except as provided in the sixth sentence of this Section 8.05. To the extent the fees and expenses of the Trustee are not paid on a current basis (including pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.05), the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid such items from amounts that would be distributable to the Company under Article III of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the review, negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any of the Transaction Documents or in connection with the issuance of any Investor Certificates on the Effective Date. If the Liquidation Servicer is appointed as Successor Master Servicer by the Trustee in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Servicer, in its capacity as Successor Master Servicer, shall also be entitled to be paid the Servicing Fee as specified in the agreement between the Liquidation Servicer and the Trustee (the “Liquidation Servicer Agreement”) in addition to any other compensation to

which the Master Servicer is expressly entitled under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that any Servicing Fee payable to a Successor Master Servicer (which will be payable to the Liquidation Servicer) will not be a Company Subordinated Obligation and shall be payable from the application of funds from the Series Non-Principal Concentration Subaccounts in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Series Supplement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the applicable Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document, the Servicing Fee payable to a Successor Master Service shall be paid to the Liquidation Servicer so long as the Liquidation Servicer has not resigned or been terminated. The Trustee shall not be liable for any fees of the Liquidation Servicer in its capacity as Successor Master Servicer. The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Liquidation Servicer, to the extent not otherwise paid. The covenants to pay the expenses, disbursements, losses, liabilities, damages and advances provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be binding on the Company, the Master Servicer and any Successor Master Servicer.

SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Recitals.

If such institution publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purpose of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

SECTION 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving 60 calendar days prior written notice thereof to the Company, the Master Servicer and each Funding Agent. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Company may remove the

Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of such appointment as provided in Section 8.08.

(d) The obligations of the Company described in Section 8.05 and the obligations of the Master Servicer described in Section 8.05 and Section 5.02 of the Servicing Agreement shall survive the removal or resignation of the Trustee as provided in this Agreement.

(e) No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee.

SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee.

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents or copies thereof, at the expense of the Master Servicer, and statements held by it hereunder; and the Company and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, such successor trustee (including the Servicer Guarantor) shall mail notice of such succession hereunder to the Funding Agents and all Holders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register, the Exchange Register or the Subordinated Interest Register, as applicable.

SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly give notice (except to the extent prohibited

under any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation), but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to any such merger or consolidation, to the Company and the Master Servicer upon any such merger or consolidation of the Trustee. Information as to such merger or consolidation that is made publicly available by the Trustee in the Authorized Newspapers shall be deemed to satisfy the notice requirement of this Section 8.09.

SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the 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 Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Trustee shall promptly notify each Funding Agent of the appointment of any co-trustee.

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

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any statute of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder), the 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 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 Trustee;

(ii) neither the Trustee nor any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee, separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder so long as such trustee, separate trustee or co-trustee is appointed with due care in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

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

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as

effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. 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 Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, specifically including every provision of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Company.

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

SECTION 8.11 Tax Returns.

In the event the Trust shall be required to file U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax returns, the Company (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall prepare and file or shall cause to be prepared and filed any such tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such tax returns to the Trustee for signature at least five (5) Business Days before such tax returns are due to be filed (including extensions). The Master Servicer (or the Servicer Guarantor on its behalf) shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all U.S. Federal tax information in connection with this Agreement required by law to be distributed to Holders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to the Holders. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Company or the Master Servicer with all such information known to the Trustee as may be reasonably determined by the Company or the Master Servicer to be required in connection with the preparation of all U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax returns of the Trust, and shall, upon the Company’s (or the Master Servicer’s on behalf of the Company) written request, execute such tax returns. In no event shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Holders, the Master Servicer (or the Servicer Guarantor on its behalf), arising under any U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax law or regulation, including excise taxes or any other tax imposed by a Governmental Authority on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from any failure to comply therewith). The Trustee shall not be required to determine whether any filing of tax returns is required.

SECTION 8.12 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Investor Certificates.

All rights of action and claims under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Investor Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Investor Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any

recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

SECTION 8.13 Suits for Enforcement.

If a Master Servicer Default or a default under the Servicing Guarantee shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may, as provided in Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by suit, action or proceeding (including any suit, action or proceeding on behalf of the Holders against any third party) in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Holders. In furtherance of and without limiting the generality of Section 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before initiating any such action, such reasonable indemnity from the Holders as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Investor Certificates, the Subordinated company interests or the Exchangeable Company Interest or the rights of any holder thereof, or authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 8.14 Rights of Investor Certificateholders to Direct Trustee.

Investor Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series affected by the conduct of any proceeding or the exercise of any right conferred on the Trustee shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that nothing in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction of the Investor Certificateholders; provided, however, that in furtherance and without limiting the generality of Section 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before acting in accordance with any such direction of the Investor Certificateholders, such reasonable indemnity from the Investor Certificateholders as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in so acting.

SECTION 8.15 Representations and Warranties of Trustee.

Trustee represents and warrants that:

(a) the Trustee is a banking institution organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of Dublin, Ireland and is duly authorized to exercise trust powers under applicable law;

(b) the Trustee has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and any Supplement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and any Supplement; and

(c) this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents executed by it have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and, in the case of all such Transaction Documents, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

SECTION 8.16 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Trustee will maintain at its expense in Dublin, Ireland, an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Investor Certificates or any other Interests and the Pooling and Servicing Agreements may be served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Holders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register, the Exchange Register, the Subordinated Interest Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 8.17 Limitation of Liability.

The Investor Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Investor Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

SECTION 9.01 Termination of Trust.

(a) The Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Holders as hereafter set forth and any indemnification obligations hereunder) shall terminate, except with respect to any such obligations or responsibilities expressly stated to survive such termination, on the earliest of (i) the last day of the June 2021 Settlement Period, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day, (ii) at the option of the Company, at any time when the Aggregate Invested Amount is zero, (iii) following the occurrence of any of the Early Amortization Events specified in Section 7.01, at any time when the Aggregate Invested Amount is zero and (iv) upon completion of distribution of the amounts referred to in Section 7.02(b) (the “Trust Termination Date”).

(b) If on the Distribution Date in the month immediately preceding the month in which the Trust Termination Date occurs (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal on any Series of Investor Certificates to be made on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Article III) the Invested Amount of any Series would be greater than zero (as certified in writing by the Master Servicer), the Company as beneficial owner of the Receivables hereby authorizes the Trustee, at the written direction of the Master Servicer to make reasonable efforts to cause the Liquidation Servicer to sell within 30 days of such Distribution Date all of the Receivables; provided, however, that neither Huntsman International nor any of its Affiliates shall participate in any bidding in respect of the sale of the Receivables. The proceeds of such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables and shall be allocated in accordance with Article III. During such 30-day period, the Master Servicer shall continue to collect Collections on the Receivables and allocate Collections in accordance with the provisions of Article III. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer as provided in Section 8.05.

SECTION 9.02 Optional Purchase and Final Termination Date of Investor Certificates of Any Series.

(a) On any Distribution Date during the Amortization Period with respect to any Series on which the Invested Amount (or such other amount as may be set forth in the related Supplement) of such Series is reduced to an amount equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the Initial Invested Amount (or such other amount as may be set forth in the related Supplement) for such Series as of the day preceding the beginning of such Amortization Period, the Master Servicer shall have the option to repurchase the entire Investor Certificateholders’ Interest of such Series, at a purchase price equal to (i) the outstanding Invested Amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series plus (ii) amounts due in respect thereof through such Distribution Date (after giving effect to any payment of principal and monthly interest on such date of purchase) plus (iii) all other amounts payable to all Investor Certificateholders of such Series under the related Supplement (such purchase price, the “Clean-Up Call Repurchase Price”). The amount of the Clean-Up Call Repurchase Price will be deposited and credited to the applicable Series Concentration Account for such Series on such Distribution Date in immediately available funds and will be passed through in full to the applicable Investor Certificateholders. In the event that the Master Servicer fails for any reason to deposit the Clean-Up Call Repurchase Price for such Receivables, the Investor Certificateholders’ Interest in the Receivables will continue and monthly payments will continue to be made to the Investor Certificateholders.

(b) The amount deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall be paid to the Investor Certificateholders of the related Series pursuant to Article III on the Distribution Date following the date of such deposit. All Investor Certificates of a Series which are purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall be delivered by the Company upon such purchase to, and be cancelled by

(in accordance with the written directions of the Company), the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company.

(c) All amounts due with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no later than the Series Termination Date with respect to such Series. Unless otherwise provided in a Supplement, in the event that the Invested Amount of any Series of Investor Certificates is greater than zero on its Series Termination Date (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of amounts due to be made on such Series on such date), the Company as beneficial owner of the Receivables acknowledges that the Trustee may in pursuance of the security interest granted hereunder sell or cause to be sold, in accordance with the directions of the Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of such Series (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) Receivables with an aggregate principal amount approximately equal to the Outstanding Invested Amount of such Series and pay the proceeds to all Investor Certificateholders of such Series pro rata (except that unless expressly provided to the contrary in the related Supplement, no payment shall be made to Investor Certificateholders of any Class of any Series that is by its terms subordinated to any other Class until such senior Class of Investor Certificates have been paid in full) in payment of amounts due on such Series of Investor Certificates, provided, however, in furtherance and without limiting the generality of Section 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before acting in accordance with any such direction of the Investor Certificateholders, such reasonable indemnity from the Investor Certificateholders as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in so acting. Absent such direction from the Funding Agents of the Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of such Series or absent such reasonable indemnity as the Trustee may require in connection with such direction, the Trustee shall continue to hold the Participation Assets in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements until the Trust Termination Date (or until a majority of the Investor Certificateholders shall otherwise direct the Trustee); provided that the terms of this Agreement, the related Supplement and the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect, except that no additional Receivables shall be allocated with respect to such Series. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee and the Liquidation Servicer as provided in Section 8.05. Any proceeds of such sale in excess of such amounts due in respect thereof shall be paid, pro rata, to the holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest (other than Huntsman International or any of its Affiliates), unless and to the extent otherwise specified in any applicable Supplement. Upon such Series Termination Date with respect to the applicable Series, final payment of all amounts allocable to any Investor Certificates of such Series shall be made in the manner provided in this Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.03 Final Payment with Respect to Any Series.

(a) Written notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Investor Certificateholders of any Series may surrender their Investor Certificates for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at least 30 days’ prior written notice from the Master Servicer to the Trustee containing all information required for the Trustee’s notice or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) by the Trustee to Investor Certificateholders of such Series mailed not later than the fifth day of the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Master Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a Responsible Officer’s certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 4.03 of the Servicing Agreement covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to such Investor Certificateholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01(a) or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series pursuant to Section 9.02, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Accounts (but only to the extent necessary to pay all outstanding and unpaid amounts to Holders) shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to the Investor Certificateholders upon surrender of their Investor Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Investor Certificate not surrendered on the date specified in Section 9.03(a)(i) shall cease to accrue any amounts due provided for such Investor Certificate from and after such date. In the event that all of the Investor Certificateholders shall not surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series to surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all the Investor Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Investor Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the related Series Concentration Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay, pro rata, to the holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest upon request any monies held by them for the payment of amounts due in respect thereof that remains unclaimed for two (2) years and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Investor Certificateholder for such payment to the Company upon its request. After such payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for

payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

(c) All Investor Certificates surrendered for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Investor Certificates and cancellation shall be cancelled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a customary manner satisfactory to the Trustee.

SECTION 9.04 The Company’s Termination Rights.

Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 and payment to the Trustee (in its capacity as such) of all amounts owed to it under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall release the security interest of the Trust in the Participation Assets, whether then existing or thereafter created, and all proceeds thereof except for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the release of all right, title and interest which the Trust had in the Participation Assets.

The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment pursuant to this Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.01(b) which affects the Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise.

(b) Subject to Section 10.01(c), any Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, to the extent provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any other agreement relating to the Receivables may also be amended (other than in the circumstances referred to in Section 10.01(a)) in writing from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Funding Agent(s) representing Investor Certificateholders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Invested Amount for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of Holders of any Series then issued and outstanding; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate of such Series without the consent of such Investor Certificateholder of such Series; (ii) change the definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any Investor Certificateholder of such Series without the consent of such Investor Certificateholder; or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Invested Amount of any adversely affected Series or Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of all Investor Certificateholders of each Series adversely affected in any material respect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.01 to the contrary, the Supplement with respect to any Series may be amended on the terms and with the procedures provided in such Supplement.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor Certificateholders under Section 10.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Investor Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

(e) In executing or accepting any amendment pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall, upon request, be entitled to receive and rely upon (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized pursuant to a specific provision of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement and complies with such provision, (ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that (A) such amendment shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any outstanding Investor Certificates in any material respect except for Holders of the Series whose consent to such amendment has been obtained in accordance with Section 10.01(b) and (B) all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment shall have been satisfied in full and (iii) a Tax Opinion.

(f) Promptly after the execution of any amendment pursuant to Section 10.01, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Investor Certificateholder of each Outstanding Series (or with respect to an amendment of a Supplement, to each Investor Certificateholder of the applicable Series), and the Master Servicer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Funding Agent.

SECTION 10.02 Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Trust.

The Company (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall cause each Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all amendments thereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Holders’ and the Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Trust and the Participation Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee hereunder to all property comprising the Trust. The Company (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall deliver to the Trustee copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to file such financing or continuation statements and the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Company, that such filing is necessary to fully preserve and to protect the Trustee’s right, title and interest in any Participation Asset then the Trustee shall have the right to file the same on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee shall be reimbursed and indemnified by the Company for making such filing. The Company shall cooperate fully with the Master Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 10.02.

(a) The death or incapacity of any Holder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor shall such death or incapacity entitle such Holder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

(b) Except with respect to the Investor Certificateholders as expressly provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, no Holder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto; nor shall any Holder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(c) No Holder shall have any right by virtue of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written request to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to initiate any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Holder with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holder(s) shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of the Interests, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,

ratable and common benefit of all Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.02, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

(d) By their acceptance of Interests pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Supplement, the Holders agree to the provisions of this Section 10.02.

SECTION 10.03 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ISSUES OF PERFECTION ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
