the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section
8-405 or 8A-405, as applicable, of the Relevant UCC are met, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or

satisfaction of such destruction, loss or theft shall be due and payable, or

Date without surrender thereof. The Indenture Trustee may rely upon the
Administrator with respect to the determination of whether the requirements of
Section 8-405 or 8A-405, as applicable, of the Relevant UCC are met. If, after

Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of
the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for
payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom such replacement Note was delivered or any Person taking such replacement
Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any
assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to
recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in
connection therewith.
(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this

anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Clearing Agency Participants; and
(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions

to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received

percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes or such Class of
Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Administrator or the Servicer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Indenture Trustee
or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it

continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify

Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate such
Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an
Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed to be the
authentication of Notes "by the Indenture Trustee. "

merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or

written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and

discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so
paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make

Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for
redemption in whole pursuant to Section 10.1 or whose right to or interest in
monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent at the last address of record for each

Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has
been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite

-28-
statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and
security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such
action or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is
necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel
shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this
Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents
and the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation
statements that shall, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain
the lien and security interest of this Indenture until March 31 in the following
year.
SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of
Contracts.
(a) The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its
best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release
any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the
amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair
the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.
(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties
by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate
shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has
contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in
performing its duties under this Indenture.
(c) The Issuer shall punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction
Documents and the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate,
including, but not limited to, filing or causing to be filed all financing
statements and continuation statements required to be filed under the Relevant
UCC by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.
Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive,
amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Transaction Document or any provision
thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance.
(d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an
Event of Servicing Termination under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
-29-
Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Rating
Agencies thereof and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer
is taking in respect of such default. If an Event of Servicing Termination shall
arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or
obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the
Contracts, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy
such failure.
(e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of
termination to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to
Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall (subject to
the rights of the Indenture Trustee to direct such appointment pursuant to
Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) appoint a successor servicer
acceptable to the Insurer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor
Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has
not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the
Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, without further
action, shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture
Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation
to the Issuer and in such event shall be released from such duties and
obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer
enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon
delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new
servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any
Successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) shall (i) be an
established financial institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of installment
sale contracts and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having
substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If, within thirty (30) days after the
delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained
such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with
any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to
the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and, in
accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer
shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the
-30-
Contracts (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's
duties as servicer of the Contracts as provided herein, it shall do so in its
individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and,
accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture
Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of the
Contracts. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Servicer
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled
to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the
Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as the Servicer, shall be fully liable for
the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in such capacity as Successor
Servicer.
(f) Upon any termination of the Servicer's rights and powers
pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall
promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of such termination. Upon
any appointment of a Successor Servicer by the Issuer, the Issuer shall promptly
notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of such appointment, specifying in
such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.
(g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the
assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights
of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Insurer (if no Insurer Default shall have occurred an be
continuing), the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of not less than 51% of the
Note Balance, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree
to any amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination or surrender of,
the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or the other Transaction Documents).
SECTION 3.8. Negative Covenants. If any Notes are
Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:
(i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the
Trust Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the
properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the
Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee with
the prior written consent of the Insurer;
(ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the
principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than
amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or
applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former
Noteholder by reason of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon
the Issuer;
-31-
(iii) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part;
(iv) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this
Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be
amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or
permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly
permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security
interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this
Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or
burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or
the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics' liens and other
liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the
Financed Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or
omission of the related Obligor) or (C) permit the lien of this
Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with
respect to any such tax, mechanics' or other lien) security interest in
the Trust Estate;
(v) engage in any activities other than financing,
acquiring, owning, pledging and managing the Contracts as contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and this Indenture and activities incidental to such
activities; or
(vi) incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other
than the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or indebtedness otherwise
permitted by the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or this Indenture.
SECTION 3.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance. On or before
May 31 of each year (commencing with the year 2000), the Issuer shall deliver to
the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer an Officer's Certificate stating, as to

on February 29, 2000) or, if there has been a default in its compliance
with any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known
to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 3.10. Issuer May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain
Terms.
(a) The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any
other Person, unless:
(i) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation
or merger (if other than the Issuer) shall be a Person organized and

Event of Default under the Indenture. If no Insurer Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, an Event of Default shall occur only upon delivery by the
Insurer to the Indenture Trustee of notice of the occurrence of such Event of

Default.
SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment.
(a) If no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
the Insurer shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon prior written
notice to each Rating Agency, to declare the Notes to be immediately due and
payable by written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee,
and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall
become immediately due and payable. The Indenture Trustee shall have no
discretion with respect to the acceleration of the Notes under the foregoing
circumstances. In the event of any such acceleration of the Notes, the Indenture
Trustee shall continue to make claims under the Policy with respect to the
Notes.
(b) If an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing and
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then and in every such case
the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3%
of the Note Balance may, upon prior written notice to each Rating Agency,
-42-
declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable by written notice to the
Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such
declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable.
(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration of
maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount
due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this
Article V, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note
Balance, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on the
Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon
the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had
not occurred; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Insurer may elect to prepay all or any portion of the Note Balance, plus accrued
but unpaid interest thereon to the date of payment; provided, however, that the
Insurer shall fulfill its obligations under the Policy.
(e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the Note Balance has been paid in full, the Insurer may elect to prepay all or
any portion of the Certificate Balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon
to the date of payment; provided, however, that the Insurer shall fulfill its
obligations under the Policy.
SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
(a) If (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on
any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a
period of five (5) Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the
principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall,
-43-
upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the amount then due and payable on the
Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal at
the applicable Note Interest Rate and, to the extent payment at such rate of
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at
the applicable Note Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee and its agents and counsel and other amounts due and owing to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7.
(b) If the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and
collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or such
other obligor, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Noteholders and the Insurer by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture
Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce such rights, whether
for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or to enforce any other
proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by
this Indenture or by law.
(d) If there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership
interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States
Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or if there shall be pending any other comparable judicial
Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, or to
the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture
Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due
-44-
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee
(including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due and owing to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7) and of the Noteholders
allowed in such Proceedings;
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations,
to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a
standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such
Proceedings;
(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to pay all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and
(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;
and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee,
and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due
and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
-45-
(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this
Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee
without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any
trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings
instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee
of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the
expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each
predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and
also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this
Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture
Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be
necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.
SECTION 5.4. Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Insurer (if no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing), or at the direction of the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance (if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing), take one or more of the following actions as so
directed (subject to Section 5.5):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on
the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect
from the Issuer and any other obligor upon the Notes monies adjudged
due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
Relevant UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and
enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
rights or interest therein at one or more public or private sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;
-46-
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of
Default described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of
the Note Balance consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
are sufficient to pay in full the outstanding principal balance of and all
accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes or (C) the Indenture
Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would
have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Section 5.4, it shall pay out such money or property in the
following order of priority:
(i) to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts due to the
Indenture Trustee as compensation pursuant to Section 6.7;
(ii) to the Servicer, all amounts due to the Servicer as
compensation pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement;
(iii) to the Noteholders, all accrued but unpaid interest
on the Notes;
(iv) to the Noteholders, the outstanding principal balance
of the Notes;
(v) to the Certificateholders, all accrued but unpaid
interest on the Certificates; and
(vi) to the Certificateholders, the outstanding principal
balance of the Certificates.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.4. At least fifteen (15) days before such
record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee
a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be
paid.
-47-
SECTION 5.5. Optional Preservation of the Contracts. If the
Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an
Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to
maintain possession of the Trust Estate and apply proceeds as if there had been
no declaration of acceleration; provided, however, that the Total Available
Funds shall be applied in accordance with such declaration of acceleration in
the manner specified in Section 4.6(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It
is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all
times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In
determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.
SECTION 5.6. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall
have any right to institute any Proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless:
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice
to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of
the Note Balance have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to
institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its
own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute such Proceedings;
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day
period by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note
Balance; and
-48-
(vi) an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing.
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of
Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting
or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of
Notes, each evidencing less than 51% of the Note Balance, the Indenture Trustee
in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 5.7. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive
Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on
such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or
in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 5.8. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or such Noteholder, then and in every such case
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Noteholders shall,
subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though
no such Proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 5.9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer
or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
-49-
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or
omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or
Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the
Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders, as the case
may be.
SECTION 5.11. Control by Noteholders. The Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available
to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
of law or with this Indenture;
(ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any
direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust
Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 100%
of the Note Balance;
(iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate
pursuant to such section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee
by the Holders of Notes evidencing less than 100% of the Note Balance
to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect;
and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with
such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this
Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any
action that it reasonably believes might involve it in costs, expenses and
liabilities for which it will not be adequately indemnified or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the
declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in
-50-
Section 5.2, the Insurer (if no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note
Balance, with the consent of the Insurer (if no Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing), may waive any past Default or Event of Default and
its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of
principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified without the
consent of all the Holders. Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereto. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to
exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have
occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney's fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (i) any
suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding Notes evidencing in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balance or (iii) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any
time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
-51-
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee's right
to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or
with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any
rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired
by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or
by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust
Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected
by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).
SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain
Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to
do so, and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful
action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance
and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or by the Seller of each of its obligations under or in connection
with the Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies,
powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on
the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal
or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the
Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.
(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing
or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of
Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller
or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
against the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, including
the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or
observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
-52-
direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
or the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to
take such action shall be suspended.
(c) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to
do so and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such
lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the
performance and observance by CarMax of each of its obligations to the Seller
under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller
thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings
to compel or secure performance by CarMax of each of its obligations under the
Purchase Agreement.
(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing
or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of
Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance shall, exercise all
rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Seller against CarMax
under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power
to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by CarMax of
each of its obligations to the Seller thereunder and to give any consent,
request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Purchase
Agreement, and any right of the Seller to take such action shall be suspended.
ARTICLE VI
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
SECTION 6.1. Duties of Indenture Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such Person's own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
-53-
(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and, if
required by the terms of this Indenture, conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it
is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.
(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
to the Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this
Section 6.1.
(e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on
any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing
with the Issuer.
(f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of
this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers hereunder if the Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable
-54-
grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it.
(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of
the TIA.
(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of any Event of Default unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have
actual knowledge of such Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of
Default shall have been given to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.
(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting,
it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel unless it is
proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in such reliance.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for
the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed
with due care by it hereunder.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers; provided, however, that such action or omission by
the Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.
(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the
advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection
from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel.
-55-
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture,
unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in
its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to
make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney.
SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying
Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent hereunder may do the same
with like rights.
SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture
Trustee (i) shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes and (ii) shall not be
accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes or responsible
for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture
Trustee's certificate of authentication.
SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of such Default
within ninety (90) days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to
the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Noteholders.
SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The
Indenture Trustee shall deliver, within a reasonable period of time after the
end of each calendar year, to each Person who at any time during such calendar
-56-
year was a Noteholder, such information as may be required to enable such Person
to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.
SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.
(a) The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay
to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law
on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services; provided, however, that neither
the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any
expense incurred through the Indenture Trustee's willful misconduct, negligence,
or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to,
indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however,
that neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need indemnify the Indenture
Trustee for any such loss, liability or expense incurred through the Indenture
Trustee's willful misconduct, negligence, or bad faith. The Indenture Trustee
shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it
may seek indemnity. Any failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer
and the Administrator shall not, however, relieve the Issuer or the
Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel.
(b) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.1(v) or (vi) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.
-57-
(a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, and no
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.8. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer and the Insurer. The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the
Note Balance may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by so notifying the
Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Issuer and may appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:
(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section
6.11;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of
the Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee
in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the
Insurer.
(b) Any successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and
the Issuer. Upon delivery of such written acceptance, the resignation or removal
of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and the successor
Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee
shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the
successor Indenture Trustee.
(c) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office
within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. If
the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may
-58-
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
(d) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations
under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture
Trustee.
SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.
(a) If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust
business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without
any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, however,
that such corporation or banking association must be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating
Agencies with prior written notice of any such transaction.
(b) If at the time such successor or successors by
consolidation, merger or conversion to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to
the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver
such Notes so authenticated, and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not
have been authenticated, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee or in the
name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which the Notes or this Indenture provide
that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate
Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver an instrument to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with
the Indenture Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any
part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate,
or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may
-59-
consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Indenture shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.
(b) Each 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 Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee shall not be authorized to act
separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture
Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Indenture shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this
Indenture; and
(iii) the Indenture 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
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then
separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them.
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to
this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Each such instrument
shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.
-60-
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power
and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture
Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The
Indenture Trustee or its parent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition and shall have a long-term debt rating of investment grade by each of
the Rating Agencies or shall otherwise be acceptable to each of the Rating
Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).
SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding
any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the
extent indicated.

under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Estate, the
Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such

perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case
without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction
to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.
(b) Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not
in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust

manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of
this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture
Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the
Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent or see to the application of any monies.
(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no
Notes Outstanding, the Policy has been terminated in accordance with its terms
and has been returned to the Insurer for cancellation and all sums due the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid in

action pursuant to Section 8.4(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments
involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, except in connection
with any action contemplated by Section 8.4(b), as a condition to such action,
an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete such action, and concluding that all conditions precedent
to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not
materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the
Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided,
however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an
opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such
opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and

Trustee in connection with any such action.

permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and (ii) make cash payments
out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the

SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture
Trustee.
(a) In any case where several matters are required to be

necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of,
only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one
document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents.

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

application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided
that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of
such application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term
hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting
of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as
the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in
-75-
such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such
application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The
foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's
right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained
in any such document as provided in Article VI.
SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,

duly appointed in writing, and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in

Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given

SECTION 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of
any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to
each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any
defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
-77-
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice
that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given.
(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner,
such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
(c) If, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as
a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating
Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or
obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a
Default or Event of Default.
SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the
contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note
providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any
Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in
this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall
cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such
agreements.
SECTION 11.7. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof
that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. The provisions
of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the
provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by
this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not
physically contained herein.
SECTION 11.8. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
-78-
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or
provisions hereof.
SECTION 11.9. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the
Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and
agents.
SECTION 11.10. Severability. If any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Indenture and
the Notes shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Insurer, the
Noteholders, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an
ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 11.12. Legal Holiday. If the date on which any payment
is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of
the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date but may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date.
SECTION 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is
subject to recording in any appropriate public recording office, such recording
shall be effected by the Issuer at its expense and shall be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such
recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other
Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted
to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
-79-
SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any
certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith
against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, of any holder
of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
have no such obligations in their individual capacities), and except that any
such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided
by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For
all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to
the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the
Trust Agreement.
SECTION 11.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering
into this Indenture, and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or
beneficial interest in a Note, as the case may be, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or
join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any
of the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer shall, with reasonable
prior notice, permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer,
during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine the books of account,
records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the
Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The
Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required
-80-
by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 11.19. Certain Matters Regarding the Insurer. If no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer shall have
the right to exercise all rights, including voting rights, which the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Indenture,
without any consent of such Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided,
however, that, without the consent of each Noteholder and Certificateholder
affected thereby, the Insurer shall not exercise such rights to amend this
Indenture in any manner that would (i) reduce the amount of, or delay the timing
of, collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions which are required
to be made on any Note or Certificate or (ii) alter the rights of any such
Holder to consent to such amendment.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the
contrary, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer
shall not have the right to take any action under this Indenture or to control
or direct the actions of the Issuer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, nor shall the consent of
the Insurer be required with respect to any action (or waiver of a right to take
action) to be taken by the Issuer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the
consent of the Insurer shall be required at all times with respect to any
amendment of this Indenture.

with the [ ]% Class A-2 Asset-Backed Notes, the [ ]% Class A-3 Asset-Backed

issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.
The Class A-1 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the

Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or (b) of the
Indenture. In addition, the unpaid principal amount of this Class A-1 Note may

checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such
Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date

provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid
principal amount of this Class A-1 Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment
Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date,

forth therein, the transfer of this Class A-1 Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-1 Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Class A-1 Notes of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-1 Note, but the transferor
may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer
or exchange.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee,
each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or
employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person
may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will
not at any time institute against the Seller, or the Issuer, or join in any
institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Transaction Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class A-1 Note is
issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, and
franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer
secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and
each Note Owner by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to
treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Class A-1 Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class A-1 Note (as
of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Class A-1 Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or
any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer (if
no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Holders of
Notes representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance, voting as a group. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Insurer (if no Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) or the Holders of Notes representing not
less than 51% of the Note Balance, with the consent of the Insurer (if no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing), on behalf of the Holders
of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Insurer or the Holder of this
Class A-1 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A-1 Note and
of any Class A-1 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Class A-1 Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of any Notes but with the
consent of the Insurer (if no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing).
The term "Issuer", as used in this Note, includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Class A-1 Note and the Indenture shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall
be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Bankers Trust Company, in its
individual capacity, First Union Trust Company, National Association, in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of
their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees
or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Class
A-1 Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants,
obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note, by his acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the
Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture,
the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency,
loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the
Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in
the Indenture or in this Class A-1 Note.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee,
each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or
employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person
may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by

secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and

franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

Class A-4 Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or

the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer (if
no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Holders of
Notes representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance, voting as a group. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Insurer (if no Insurer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) or the Holders of Notes representing not
less than 51% of the Note Balance, with the consent of the Insurer (if no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing), on behalf of the Holders
of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Insurer or the Holder of this
Class A-4 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A-4 Note and
of any Class A-4 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Class A-4 Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of any Notes but with the
consent of the Insurer (if no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing).
The term "Issuer", as used in this Note, includes any successor to the

provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Class A-4 Note and the Indenture shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall
be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Bankers Trust Company, in its
individual capacity, First Union Trust Company, National Association, in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of
their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees
or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal or of interest on this Class
A-4 Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants,
obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note, by his acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the
Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture,
the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency,
loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
