INDENTURE
This INDENTURE dated as of ________________, is between DVI _____ a
Delaware ________________ (herein called the "ISSUER"), and ______________, a
national banking association, as trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE").
RECITALS OF THE ISSUER
The Issuer has duly authorized the issuance of $___________ in
aggregate principal amount of its ___% Asset Backed Notes, Series _____________,
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E (together with the Class A Notes,
the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, the "OFFERED
NOTES"), of substantially the tenor hereinafter set forth, and to provide
therefor the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Indenture.
Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Issuer may, subject to the restrictions described herein, enter into a
Supplement directing the issuance of a sixth class of privately offered
securities (the "CLASS F INSTRUMENTS", and together with the Offered Notes, the
"NOTES") which will be subordinate to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the
Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes.
All things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer
and authenticated and delivered hereunder, the valid obligations of the Issuer,
and to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with
its terms, have been done.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the
Notes by the holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the
benefit of all Noteholders, as follows:
GRANTING CLAUSE
The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and
security of the Noteholders and the Trustee as their interests appear herein,
all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Property. The
Issuer also hereby assigns to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders
and the Trustee, its security interest in the Equipment (which shall be a first
priority perfected security interest in Equipment other than Equipment relating
to a Secured Equipment Note or Finance Lease and for which the Original
Equipment Cost is less than $20,000) subject to the underlying equipment lease
related to the Contracts and all of the Issuer's rights in all income, payments
and proceeds related thereto. The Grants of the Trust Property effected by this
Indenture shall include all rights, powers, and options (but none of the
obligations) of the Issuer with respect thereto, including, without limitation,
the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive, and give
receipts for Contract Payments in respect of the Contracts and all other moneys
payable thereunder, to give and receive notices and
other communications, to recover on the Equipment pursuant thereto, to make
waivers, amendments or other agreements, to exercise all rights and options, to
bring judicial proceedings in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to terminate
a Contract pursuant to the terms thereof, enforce all rights and remedies of the
Issuer with respect to the duties, covenants, obligations, indemnities,
representations and warranties of the Contributor and the Servicer under the
Contribution and Servicing Agreement and generally to do and receive anything
that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do or receive thereunder or with
respect thereto. Such Grants are made in trust to secure (i) the payment of all
amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, equally and ratably
without prejudice, priority, or distinction between any Note of the same class
and any other Note of the same class by reason of differences in time of
issuance or otherwise, except as otherwise may be provided in this Indenture or
any Supplement, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under this Indenture
and (iii) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture and any Supplement
with respect to the Notes.
The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts the trusts hereunder
in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties
herein required to the best of its ability and to the end that the interests of
the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected as hereinafter
provided.

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATION
SECTION 1.01 DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Indenture, capitalized terms used herein but
not otherwise defined shall have the respective meaning assigned to such terms
in Appendix I hereto.
SECTION 1.02 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES.
Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take
any action under any provision of this Indenture or any Supplement, other than
any request that (i) the Trustee authenticate the Notes specified in such
request, (ii) the Trustee invest moneys in the Collection Account or the Reserve
Account pursuant to the written directions specified in such request, or (iii)
the Trustee pay moneys due and payable to the Issuer hereunder to the Issuer's
beneficial owner or other assignee specified in such request, the Trustee may
require the Issuer to furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating
that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture or any
Supplement relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that
in the case of any such requested action as to which other evidence of
satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto is specifically required by any
provision of this Indenture or any Supplement, no additional certificate need be
furnished.
SECTION 1.03 FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by,
or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such Officer's Certificate or opinion and any Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer or Authorized Officers
of the Transferor as to such factual matters unless such Authorized Officer or
counsel of the Transferor knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written
opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be
accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion.
3
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture or any Supplement, they may, but need not, be
consolidated and form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture or any Supplement, in connection with any
application or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the
Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such
application, or as evidence of compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of
any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section
7.01(a)(ii).
SECTION 1.04 ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS, ETC.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture or any Supplement to be given
or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person
or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee, with a copy (or if expressly required
an original) to the Issuer and the Servicer. 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 or any Supplement and
(subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if
made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the holder of any Note shall bind every future holder of
the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
(d) By accepting the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture and any
Supplement, each Noteholder irrevocably appoints the Trustee hereunder as the
special attorney-in-fact for such
4
Noteholder vested with full power on behalf of such Noteholder to effect and
enforce the rights of such Noteholder pursuant hereto and the provisions hereof
for the benefit of such Noteholder.
(e) Each holder of a Note, by acceptance of such Note, agrees to
treat such Note as indebtedness for federal, state and local income or franchise
tax purposes.
SECTION 1.05 NOTICES.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver, Act of Noteholders, or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture or any Supplement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed
with, the Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if in writing and telexed, telecopied (with the original of
the telexed or telecopied material sent to the recipient by overnight courier on
the day of the telex or telecopy), mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or hand
delivered. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, no such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Noteholders or
other document shall be effective until received and any provision hereof
requiring the making, giving, furnishing, or filing of the same on any date
shall be interpreted as requiring the same to be sent or delivered in such
fashion that it will be received on such date. Any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Noteholders, or other
document shall be sent or delivered to the following addresses:
(i) if to the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office, _____________;
(ii) if to the Issuer, at ________________, with a copy to the
Servicer at the address set forth in clause (iv) below;
(iii) if to the Contributor, Attention: Securitization Manager at
000 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (Number for telecopy: (215)
230-5328; Number for telephonic confirmation: (000) 000-0000) or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee, the Issuer
and the Servicer by the Contributor;
(iv) if to the Servicer, Attention: Servicing Manager at 000 Xxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (Number for telecopy: (000) 000-0000;
Number for telephonic confirmation: (000) 000-0000) or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee, the Issuer and the
Contributor by the Servicer; or
(v) if to the Rating Agency, at __________________.
SECTION 1.06 NOTICE TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER.
(a) Where this Indenture or any Supplement provides for notice to
Noteholders of any event, or the mailing of any report to Noteholders, such
notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or sent by
private courier or confirmed telecopy (with a copy of the telecopied material
sent to the recipient by overnight courier on the day of the telecopy) to each
Noteholder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be
mailed, at such Noteholder's address as it appears in the Note
5
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In
any case where a notice or report to Noteholders is mailed, neither the failure
to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed,
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or
report with respect to other Noteholders. Where this Indenture or any Supplement
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
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 Trustee, but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.
(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to mail or send notice to
Noteholders, in accordance with Section 1.06(a), of any event or any report to
Noteholders when such notice or report is required to be delivered pursuant to
any provision of this Indenture or any Supplement, then such notification or
delivery as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a
sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
SECTION 1.07 TABLE OF CONTENTS, HEADINGS, ETC.
The Table of Contents and the Article and Section headings are for
convenience only and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or
provisions hereof.
SECTION 1.08 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer or the
Trustee shall bind its respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so
expressed or not.
SECTION 1.09 SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.
In case any provision in this Indenture, any Supplement or in the
Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.
SECTION 1.10 BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.
Nothing in this Indenture, any Supplement or in the Notes, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section
7.11 and the holders of Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 1.11 GOVERNING LAW.
THIS INDENTURE, ANY SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. THIS INDENTURE IS SUBJECT TO
THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939, AS AMENDED
6
FROM TIME TO TIME, AS IN EFFECT ON ANY RELEVANT DATE (THE "TIA") AND SHALL BE
GOVERNED THEREBY OR CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.
SECTION 1.12 LEGAL HOLIDAYS.
In any case where any Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date or
any other date on which principal of or interest on any Note is proposed to be
paid shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture or of the Notes) such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening
period.
SECTION 1.13 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 1.14 INSPECTION.
The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit
the representatives of the Trustee or any Noteholder, during the Issuer's normal
business hours, to examine all of the books of account, records, reports and
other papers of the Issuer, to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom, to
cause such books to be audited by independent accountants selected by the Issuer
and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be,
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, employees
and independent accountants with an Authorized Officer of the Transferor (as
sole beneficiary of the Issuer) present (and by this provision the Issuer hereby
authorizes its accountants to discuss with such representatives such affairs,
finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested for the purpose of reviewing or evaluating the financial
condition or affairs of the Issuer or the performance of and compliance with the
covenants and undertakings of the Issuer in this Indenture, the Contribution and
Servicing Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or any of the other
documents referred to herein or therein. Any expense incident to the exercise by
the Trustee or any Noteholder during the continuance of any Default or Indenture
Event of Default of any right under this Section 1.14 shall be borne by the
Issuer, but any expense due to the exercise of a right by any such Person prior
to the occurrence of a Default or Indenture Event of Default shall be borne by
such Person.
SECTION 1.15 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The representations, warranties and certifications of the Issuer
made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered by the
Issuer pursuant hereto shall survive the authentication and delivery of the
Notes hereunder, but unless explicitly provided to the contrary, they are made
only as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 1.16 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE TO TRUST INDENTURE ACT.
The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 inclusive that impose
duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included
herein unless expressly excluded
7
by the provisions of this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts
with another provision which is required to be included in this Indenture by the
TIA, the required provision of the TIA shall control.
SECTION 1.17 COMMUNICATIONS BY NOTEHOLDERS WITH OTHER NOTEHOLDERS.
A Noteholder may communicate with other Noteholders pursuant to TIA
Section 312(b) with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes.
The Issuer, the Trustee and anyone else shall have the protection of Section
312(c) of the TIA.
SECTION 1.18 STATEMENTS REQUIRED IN OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE.
Each Officer's Certificate with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:
(i) a statement that the Person making such certification has read
such covenant or condition;
(ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination
or investigation upon which the statements contained in such certificate
are based;
(iii) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has
made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to
express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
condition has been complied with; and
(iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
Person, such covenant or condition has been complied with.
SECTION 1.19 WHEN TREASURY SECURITIES ARE DISREGARDED.
In determining whether the Noteholders of the required principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent hereunder,
Notes owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Affiliate
of the Issuer or such obligor related thereto shall be disregarded, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if
the pledgee establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not
the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or
such obligor.
SECTION 1.20 RULES BY TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting
of Noteholders.
8
SECTION 1.21 NO ADVERSE INTERPRETATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.
This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan
or debt agreement of the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer. Any such
indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.
SECTION 1.22 NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
All liability described in the Notes of any director, officer,
employee or member, as such, of the Issuer is waived and released.
SECTION 1.23 INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture shall be given
independent effect so that if any particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall
not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Indenture Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists.
SECTION 1.24 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
Each of the Issuer and the Trustee irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Indenture or any Note. Each of the Issuer and the
Trustee irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by laws, any
objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in any inconvenient
forum. Each of the Issuer and the Trustee agrees that final judgment in any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and may be enforced
in the courts of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the
Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, is subject) by a suit upon such
judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon the Issuer as
permitted by law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each of the Issuer and the Trustee
does not waive, and the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not
constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of, (i) any right to appeal any
such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review
of any such judgment or (ii) any stay of execution or levy pending an appeal
from, or a suit, action or proceeding for reconsideration or review of, any such
judgment.
SECTION 1.25 NO BANKRUPTCY PETITION.

Noteholders and the Trustee covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all Notes issued by the
Issuer, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, the Issuer or its Owner Trustee or beneficial owner any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy
or similar law. The Issuer represents, warrants, and covenants that it and its
Owner
9
Trustee have obtained, and will in the future obtain, a no-petition agreement
from each and every Person that enters into any agreement of any kind with the
Issuer or its Owner Trustee or beneficial owner. This Section 1.25 shall survive
the termination of this Indenture.

Class E Noteholders shall be exercised by the requisite percentage of holders of
the Class F Instruments, if any.
SECTION 1.27 INDEBTEDNESS TREATMENT.
This Indenture and the Notes have been structured with the intention
that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness. Each
Noteholder agrees to treat the Notes for purposes of federal, state and local
income or franchise taxes (and any other tax imposed on or measured by income)
as indebtedness and to cause any Person acquiring an interest in a Note by,
through or under it to acknowledge the characterization of the Notes as
indebtedness and to agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for such tax
purposes.
ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a) The Notes issuable hereunder shall be issued as registered Notes
without coupons in no more than five classes as from time to time shall be
authorized by the Issuer. The Notes of all classes shall be known and entitled
generally as the "DVI Receivables Corp. VIII Asset-Backed Notes, Series ______"
The Notes of each class shall have further particular designation as the Issuer
may adopt for each class, and each Note issued hereunder shall bear upon the
face thereof the designation so adopted for the class to which it belongs. The
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed upon the written order of the Issuer
to authenticate and deliver Notes to be issued hereunder in five classes,
entitled "_____% Asset-Backed Notes, Series ______, Class A", "____%
Asset-Backed Notes, Series ______, Class B", "____% Asset-Backed Notes, ______,
Class C" "____% Asset-Backed Notes, Series ______, Class D" and "____%

subordinate to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the
Class D Notes and the Class E Notes by entering into a Supplement. The form of
each class of Offered Notes and of the Trustee's certificate of authentication
shall be in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A, B, C, D and E
hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this
Indenture is limited to $___________ except for Notes authenticated and
delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Notes pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.05, or 9.04. The Notes shall be issuable
only in registered form and only in denominations of at least $500,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 thereof; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not
restrict or prevent the transfer or issuance in accordance with Section 2.04 or
2.05 of any Note having a remaining outstanding principal amount of less than
$500,000; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that a single Note of each Class may be issued in a
different amount as may be necessary so that the Notes of such Class evidence
the full initial principal balance thereof. The Class F Instruments, if any,
shall be issued in the minimum denominations indicated in the related
Supplement.
(b) The aggregate amount of principal due and payable on each class
of Notes on each Payment Date shall be equal to the sum of (i) Monthly Principal
for such class and (ii) any other due and unpaid principal for such class.
Except (i) for optional redemption pursuant to Section 10.01, (ii) for
Prepayment Amounts or Partial Prepayment Amounts or (iii) as otherwise provided
in Section 6.02, no part of the principal of any Note shall be paid prior to the

provisions of this Section 2.01(b).
(c) Interest and principal on the Notes shall be payable on each
Payment Date commencing with the Initial Payment Date to Noteholders of record
on the Record Date. Interest on the Notes is required to be paid to Noteholders
in an amount equal to the Monthly Interest plus Overdue Interest. Interest on
the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months PROVIDED that for Class A-1, interest shall be computed using the
actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
11
(d) All payments made with respect to any Note shall be made in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts and shall be applied first
to the interest then due and payable on such Notes and then to the principal
thereof.
(e) All Notes of the same class issued under this Indenture or any
Supplement shall be in all respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits
hereof and thereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the
actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Indenture or any Supplement. Payments of principal
and interest on Notes of the same class shall be made pro rata among all
outstanding Notes of such class, without preference or priority of any kind.
(f) The Issuer, the Trustee and each Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class D and Class E Noteholder by acceptance of its Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class D or Class E Note (and any Person that is a beneficial owner of any
interest in a Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class E Note, by virtue of
such Person's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat such
Note(s) for purposes of federal, state and local income or franchise taxes (and
any other tax imposed on or measured by income) as indebtedness. Each Class A,
Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Noteholder agrees that it will cause any
Person acquiring an interest in a Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class E
Note through it to acknowledge the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class E
Notes' characterization as indebtedness and to agree to comply with this
Indenture as to treatment of such Notes as indebtedness for such tax purposes.
SECTION 2.02 GLOBAL NOTES.
(a) Initially, the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes and the Class D Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Public
Global Notes and the Class E Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more
Rule 144A Global Note(s) which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in
an aggregate amount equal to, the aggregate principal amount of all Class A
Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E
Notes to be issued hereunder, (ii) shall be delivered as one or more Notes held
by the Book Entry Custodian, or, if appointed to hold such Notes as provided
below, the Depositary shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee, (iii) shall be substantially in the form of the Note specified pursuant
to Section 2.01, with such changes therein as may be necessary to reflect that
each such Note is a global security, and (iv) shall each bear a legend
substantially to the effect included in the form of the face of the Notes as set
forth in Exhibits A, B, C, D and E hereto. Notwithstanding anything in any
Transaction Document to the contrary, no Class E Note shall be purchased by a
Person who is not a U.S. Person, as defined herein and no Class E Note shall be
purchased by a Person who is not a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in
Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.02 or of
Section 2.04, unless and until a Global Note is exchanged in whole for Notes in
definitive form, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole, but not in part,
and in the manner provided in this Section 2.02, only by the Depositary to a
nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of
such successor Depositary or in the
12
manner specified in Section 2.02(c). The Depositary shall order the Note
Registrar to authenticate and deliver the following Book-Entry Notes: with
respect to the Class E Notes only, a Rule 144A Global Note having an aggregate
initial Outstanding principal balance equal to the Initial Class Note Balance of
such Class, and, with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class
C Notes and the Class D Notes only, a Public Global Note, having an initial
Outstanding principal balance equal to zero. Note Owners shall hold their
respective Ownership Interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry
facilities of the Depositary. Without limiting the foregoing, Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class D Note Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests,
if any, in Public Global Notes only through Depositary Participants, Euroclear
or Cedel.
(c) If (i) the Depositary for the Notes represented by one or more
Global Notes at any time notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary of the Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no
longer be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other
applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary is not appointed or
approved by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or
becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, (ii) the Trustee, at the
direction of Noteholders evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights,
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iii) after
an Indenture Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default, Noteholders
representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights advise the Depositary, or Book
Entry Custodian, as the case may be, in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depositary, or the Book Entry Custodian, as the
case may be, is no longer in such Noteholder's best interest upon the request of
such Noteholder, but only with respect to the interests of such Noteholder, the
Issuer will promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's
Certificate evidencing such determination by the Issuer, will promptly
authenticate and make available for delivery, Notes in definitive form without
coupons, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes then outstanding in exchange
for such Global Note or Notes and this Section 2.02 shall no longer be
applicable to the Notes. Upon the exchange of the Global Notes for such Notes in
definitive form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Global Notes
shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive form issued in
exchange of the Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively rely on any such
instructions furnished by the Depositary and shall not be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions. The Trustee shall make such Notes available
for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.
(d) As long as the Notes outstanding are represented by one or more
Global Notes:
(i) the Note Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Depositary
for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on
the Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;
(ii) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the
Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Note Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary
Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued, the Depositary
will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and
13
receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to
such Depositary Participants; and
(iii) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing
a specified percentage of the Voting Rights, the Depositary shall be
deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has
received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Depositary
Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes (or Class of Notes) and
has delivered such instruction to the Trustee.
(e) If Notes are to be issued in global form other than as Global
Notes, the provisions governing such Notes shall be specified pursuant to an
Officer's Certificate with respect thereto and by an indenture supplemental
hereto.
(f) Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is
required under this Indenture, unless and until Notes have been issued in
definitive form to Note Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the Depositary.
(g) The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book Entry
Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance with the agreement that
it has with the Depositary authorizing it to act as such. The Book Entry
Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book Entry
Custodian shall, appoint, by written instrument delivered to the Issuer and the
Depositary, any other transfer agent (including the Depositary or any successor
Depositary) to act as Book Entry Custodian under such conditions as the
predecessor Book Entry Custodian and the Depositary or any successor Depositary
may prescribe, PROVIDED that the predecessor Book Entry Custodian shall not be
relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such
appointment of other than the Depositary. If the Trustee resigns or is removed
in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Trustee or, if it so elects,
the Depositary shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book
Entry Custodian. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain
copies of, any Notes held as Book-Entry Notes by the Book Entry Custodian.
(h) The provisions of this Section 2.02(h) shall apply to all
transfers of Definitive Notes, if any, issued in respect of Ownership Interests
in the Rule 144A Global Notes.
(1) No transfer of any Class of Note or interest therein shall be
made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. If a
transfer of any Definitive Note is to be made without registration under
the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance
thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositary or one of its Affiliates),
then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it
receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a
certificate from such Noteholder substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit G hereto or such other certification reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee and a certificate from such Noteholder's prospective transferee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto or such other
certification reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; or (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such transfer may
be made
14
without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof that is a
trust or of the Depositary, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Note
Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the
written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from
the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Noteholder's
prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based. If such
a transfer of any interest in a Book-Entry Note is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act, the transferor will be deemed to
have made each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit
G hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a
Definitive Note and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the
representations and warranties set forth in either Exhibit G hereto in
respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Note. None
of the Depositary, the Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to
register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under
this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein
without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner
desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Depositary, the Trustee and the Note Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made
in accordance with such federal and state laws.
SECTION 2.03 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.
(a) The Notes shall be executed manually or by facsimile signature
on behalf of the Issuer by a corporate trust officer of the Owner Trustee.
(b) Any Note bearing the signature of an individual who was at the
time of execution thereof a proper authorized signatory of the Issuer shall bind
the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual did not hold such office at the
date of such Note.
(c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
any Supplement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on
such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein, executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon
any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Note shall be dated the
date of its authentication.
(d) The Notes may from time to time be executed by the Issuer and
delivered to the Trustee for authentication together with an Issuer Request to
the Trustee directing the authentication and delivery of such Notes and
thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
accordance with such Issuer Request.
All Notes and the interest thereon shall be nonrecourse obligations
of the Issuer and shall be payable from and secured by the Trust Property. The
Notes shall never constitute obligations of the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Contributor, the Servicer, the Transferor or of any shareholder or any Affiliate
of such parties (other than any Affiliate that guarantees any Notes) or any
officers, directors, employees or agents of any thereof, and no recourse may be
had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, any
Supplement or of any Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, against any incorporator or against any past, present, or
future owner, partner of an owner or any officer, employee or director thereof
or of any successor entity, or any other
15
Person, either directly or through the Issuer, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that this Indenture and the
obligations issued hereunder are solely obligations of the Issuer, and that no
such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by,
any other Person under or by reason of this Indenture, any Supplement or any
Notes or implied therefrom, or for any claim based thereon or in respect
thereof, all such liability and any and all such claims being hereby expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution
of this Indenture and the issue of such Notes. Except as provided in any
Supplement, no Person other than the Issuer shall be liable for any obligation
of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note or any losses incurred by any
Noteholder.
SECTION 2.04 REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
a register (the "NOTE REGISTER") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the
registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed
"NOTE REGISTRAR" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the
Corporate Trust Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee upon request
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Notes of the same class, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate original principal amount.
(c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and any Supplement, as
the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed, by the holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Notes but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but this
provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 9.04 not involving
any transfer.
(f) If Notes are issued or exchanged in definitive form under
Section 2.02, such Notes will not be registered by the Trustee unless each
prospective initial Noteholder acquiring a Note, each prospective transferee
acquiring a Note and each prospective owner (or transferee thereof) of a
beneficial interest in Notes acquiring such beneficial interest provides the
Servicer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any successor Servicer with a
representation that the statements in either subsections (1) or (2) of Section
2.11 is an accurate representation as to all sources of funds to be used to pay
the purchase price of the Notes.
16
(g) No transfer of a Note shall be deemed effective unless the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws are complied
with, or such transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements under said Securities Act and laws. In the event that a transfer is
to be made without registration or qualification, such Noteholder's prospective
transferee shall deliver to the Trustee an investment letter substantially in
the form of Exhibit G hereto (the "INVESTMENT LETTER"). The Trustee is not under
any obligation to register the Notes under said Act or any other securities law
or to bear any expense with respect to such registration by any other Person or
monitor compliance of any transfer with the securities laws of the United States
regulations promulgated in connection thereto or ERISA unless the Notes are
issued or exchanged in definitive form under Section 2.02.
(h) No Class E Noteholder shall transfer, sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise grant a security interest in ("TRANSFER"), a Class E Note to any
Person that is not a United States person within the meaning of section
7701(a)(30) of the Code. In the event of any Transfer with respect to a Class E
Note, the Trustee shall require, in addition to any other applicable
requirements set forth in this Indenture, including without limitation, the
delivery of the Investment Letter, (A) the purchaser to execute a Tax
Certificate in substantially the form attached as Exhibit I hereto certifying to
the transferor and the Trustee as to the matters set forth therein and (B) the
transferee to certify, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee, that (1) the transferee is acquiring the Class E Note for its own
behalf and is not acting as agent or custodian for any other person or entity in
connection with such acquisition and (2) the transferee is a United States
person within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.
In addition, no Class E Noteholder shall Transfer a Class E Note to
any Person that is a grantor trust, partnership or S corporation (each a
"Pass-Through Entity") if substantially all of the value of the assets of the
Pass-Through Entity is attributable to the Pass-Through Entity's ownership
interest in securities of the Issuer other than the Class A, Class B, Class C
Notes and Class D Notes, nor may the Class E Notes be Transferred or sold to any
Person if, for the purposes of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, after giving effect to such Transfer the
Issuer would be treated under the Code (by virtue of calculating the aggregate
number of Class E Noteholders and holders of the Class F Instrument (if issued))
as being owned by more than 100 persons. In the event of any Transfer with
respect to a Class D or Class E Note, the Trustee shall require, in addition to
any other applicable requirements set forth in this Agreement, including without
limitation, the delivery of the Investment Letter, (A) the purchaser to execute
a Tax Certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee certifying to the transferor
and the Trustee as to the matters set forth therein and (B) the transferee to
certify, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, that (1)
the transferee is acquiring the Class E Note for its own behalf and is not
acting as agent or custodian for any other person or entity in connection with
such acquisition and (2) the transferee is (x) not a Pass-through Entity or (y)
is a Pass- through Entity but after giving effect to such purchase of such Class
E Note by such person, substantially all of the value of the assets of the
Pass-Through Entity is not attributable to the Pass-Through Entity's ownership
interest in the Class E Notes.
SECTION 2.05 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN NOTES.
17
(a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a replacement Note of the same class, of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice
to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
replacement Note of the same class, of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
(c) In case the final installment of principal on any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or will at the next Payment
Date become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a replacement Note, pay such Note.
(d) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section,
the Issuer or the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed as a result of the
issuance of such replacement Note.
(e) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture and any Supplement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same class, duly issued
hereunder.
(f) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
SECTION 2.06 DELIVERY OF CLASS F INSTRUMENTS.
(a) The Issuer may issue the Class F Instruments upon delivery to
the Trustee of the following: (i) a Supplement in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee executed by the Issuer, the Trustee and any other applicable
party and specifying the items provided in Section 2.06(c) and any other terms
(the "PRINCIPAL TERMS"), (ii) any related credit enhancement agreements as
contemplated by such Supplement, (iii) written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that the issuance of such Class F Instruments will not result in a
Ratings Effect with respect to any class of Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
such written confirmation shall be required if the Class F Instruments are
issued on the Closing Date, (iv) such other closing documents, certificates and
Opinions of Counsel as may be required by this Indenture or the applicable
Supplement and (v) an Officer's Certificate from the Issuer stating that each of
the conditions to the issuance of the Class F Instruments set forth in this
Section 2.06 have been satisfied. In no event shall the Issuer issue a Class F
Instrument to the order of the Issuer or an Affiliate.
18
(b) Any such Class F Instrument shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit F hereto and shall bear, upon its face, the designation for such
class to which it belongs so selected by the Issuer and set forth in the related
Supplement. All Class F Instruments shall be identical in all respects except
for the denominations thereof and shall be equally and ratably entitled among
themselves to the benefits of this Indenture and any Supplement thereof without
preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual title or times of
authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Indenture and such Supplement. Notwithstanding anything contained in any
Supplement, such Class F Instruments, if any, shall be subordinate to the Class
A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E
Notes, and no Class F Instruments shall adversely affect the method of
allocating Available Funds to Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes or the Class E Notes for any period or alter or affect
the manner or timing of distributions to the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D
or Class E Noteholders or the rights or priority of such holders in and to the
Trust Property.
(c) Any Supplement relating to Class F Instruments shall define or
provide for, but shall not be limited to, the following Principal Terms: (i) the
name or designation of the Class F Instruments, (ii) the initial balance of the
Class F Instrument (or method for calculating such amount), (iii) the rate of
interest applicable to such Class F Instrument (or formula for the determination
thereof, which may provide that such rate is a floating rate), (iv) the Class F
Percentage, (v) the Stated Maturity Date, (vi) the Redemption Price, if any,
(vii) the Payment Dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue
and (viii) if the Class F Instruments are entitled to receive less than the
entire amount distributable to the Issuer or its designee pursuant to Section
3.04(b)(xiii), the amount that the Class F Instruments are entitled to receive;
PROVIDED that no such Supplement shall conflict with the terms of this Indenture
in any respect.
(d) The Issuer will not issue, sell, assign, pledge or otherwise
grant a security interest in, the Class F Instruments without an Opinion of
Counsel acceptable in form and substance to the Trustee and addressed to the
Trustee delivered by outside counsel to the Issuer to the effect that for
federal income tax purposes (i) such issuance, sale, assignment, pledge or grant
of a security interest in the Class F Instruments will not affect the tax
characterization of any of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes as
indebtedness or Class D Notes or Class E Notes as indebtedness or partnership
interests, (ii) such issuance, sale, assignment, pledge or grant of a security
interest in the Class F Instruments will not constitute a deemed reissuance of
the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes or
the Class E Notes under Treasury Regulations ss.1.1001-3 and (iii) such
issuance, sale, assignment, pledge or grant of a security interest in the Class
F Instruments will not prevent the income from the Trust Property from being
properly included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the DVI
Group.

SECTION 2.09 CANCELLATION.
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or
final payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be

manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes

SECTION 2.10. NOTEHOLDER LISTS; COMMUNICATIONS TO NOTEHOLDERS.
(a) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Issuer or other
obligor, if any, shall furnish to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior

writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.

this Indenture or under the Notes, then the Trustee shall, within three Business
Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicant(s) access to
the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
2.10(a).
(c) Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with
the Issuer and the Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent

such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders in accordance
with Section 2.10(b), regardless of the source from which such information
20

mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 2.10(b).
SECTION 2.11. ERISA DEEMED REPRESENTATIONS

prospective transferee acquiring the Notes, and each prospective owner (or
transferee thereof) of a beneficial interest in Notes (each a "Prospective

Trustee, the Servicer and any successor Servicer that either (1) it is not
acquiring the Notes with the assets of a Plan; or (2) the acquisition and
holding of the Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction

ACCOUNTS; INVESTMENT OF MONEYS; COLLECTION
AND APPLICATION OF MONEYS; REPORTS
SECTION 3.01 ACCOUNTS; INVESTMENTS BY TRUSTEE.
(a) The Servicer, pursuant to a Lock-Box Agreement, shall establish
a Lock-Box Account, which account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account, in the
name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Each Lock-Box Account
shall be a segregated account initially established and maintained with
_____________________ or such other Lock-Box Bank as the Servicer may select;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer (i) shall give the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies written notice of any change in the location of a Lock-Box Account and
(ii) shall give at least 10 days' prior written notice of the new location to
each Obligor.
In addition, on or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Issuer to the extent of their interests therein as provided in this Indenture
and in the Contribution and Servicing Agreement, the following accounts, which
accounts shall be trust accounts maintained at the Corporate Trust Office:
(i) Collection Account;
(ii) Distribution Account; and
(iii) Reserve Account.
Each of such accounts shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit
Account. In addition, the Trustee shall establish a sub-account to the
Distribution Account for each Class of Notes (such sub-accounts the "CLASS A
DISTRIBUTION SUB-ACCOUNT," the "CLASS B DISTRIBUTION SUB-ACCOUNT," the "CLASS C
DISTRIBUTION SUB-ACCOUNT" the "CLASS D DISTRIBUTION SUB-ACCOUNT," the "CLASS E
DISTRIBUTION SUB-ACCOUNT" and, if necessary, the "CLASS F DISTRIBUTION
SUB-ACCOUNT"). Subject to the further provisions of this Section 3.01(a), the
Trustee shall, upon receipt or upon transfer from another account, as the case
may be, deposit into such accounts all amounts received by it which are required
to be deposited therein in accordance with the written direction of the Servicer
and the provisions of this Indenture. All such amounts and all investments made
with such amounts, including all income and other gain from such investments,
shall be held by the Trustee in such accounts as part of the Trust Property as
herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Trustee in accordance with, and
for the purposes specified in the written direction of the Servicer pursuant to
the provisions of, this Indenture.
The Collection Account shall be comprised of more than one such
Eligible Deposit Account, but shall, for the purposes of the Transaction
Documents, be deemed to be one account. Funds shall be withdrawn equally from
each such Eligible Account that constitutes the Collection Account to make all
payments from the Collection Account in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Indenture.
22
(b) The Trustee shall hold in trust but shall not be required to
deposit in any account specified in Section 3.01(a) any payment received by it
until such time as the Trustee shall have identified to its reasonable
satisfaction the nature of such payment and, on the basis thereof, the proper
account or accounts into which such payment is to be deposited. In determining
into which of the accounts, if any, referred to above any amount received by the
Trustee is to be deposited, the Trustee may conclusively rely (in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee) on the written instructions of the
Servicer. Unless otherwise advised in writing by the Servicer, the Trustee shall
assume that any amount remitted to it is to be deposited into the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b). The Trustee may establish from time to time
such deadline or deadlines as it shall determine are reasonable or necessary in
the administration of the Trust Property after which all amounts received or
collected by the Trustee on any day shall not be deemed to have been received or
collected until the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) The Trustee shall have no right of set-off with respect to any
Lock-Box Account, the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Distribution
Account, the Class A Distribution Sub- Account, the Class B Distribution
Sub-Account, the Class C Distribution Sub-Account, the Class D Distribution
Sub-Account, the Class E Distribution Sub-Account, the Class F Distribution
Sub-Account or any investment therein, or any Trust Property, including
collections or proceeds with respect thereto regardless of when or how held by
the Trustee and whether or not commingled.
(d) So long as no Default or Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the amounts in the Collection Account and the
Reserve Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to a
Servicer Order in one or more Eligible Investments. Subject to the restrictions
on the maturity of investments set forth in Section 3.01(f), each such Servicer
Order may authorize the Trustee to make the specific Eligible Investments set
forth therein, to make Eligible Investments from time to time consistent with
the general instructions set forth therein, or to make specific Eligible
Investments pursuant to instructions received in writing or by telegraph or
facsimile transmission from the employees or agents of the Servicer identified
therein, in each case in such amounts as such Servicer Order shall specify. The
Issuer, and any Class F Instrumentholder, agrees to report as income for
financial reporting and tax purposes (to the extent reportable) all investment
earnings on amounts in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account.
(e) In the event that either (i) the Servicer shall have failed to
give investment directions to the Trustee by 12:00 P.M. New York time on any
Business Day on which there may be uninvested cash or (ii) a Default or
Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the
Trustee shall invest and reinvest the funds then in the Collection Account, the
Reserve Account, as the case may be, to the fullest extent practicable in one or
more Eligible Investments as specified in paragraph (vii) of the definition of
Eligible Investments. All investments made by the Trustee shall mature no later
than the maturity date therefor permitted by Section 3.01(f).
(f) No investment of any amount held in the Collection Account or
the Reserve Account shall mature later than the second Business Day immediately
preceding the Payment Date which is scheduled to occur immediately following the
date of investment; all such investments shall be held to maturity. All income
or other gains from the investment of moneys deposited in the Collection Account
or the Reserve Account shall be deposited by the Trustee in such account
immediately upon receipt. Any net loss of principal (determined on a month by
month basis) resulting from such investment
23
of amounts in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account shall be charged to
the Issuer, and the Issuer shall reimburse such account for such loss within
three Business Days.
(g) Any investment of any funds in the Collection Account or the
Reserve Account, and any sale of any investment held in such accounts, shall be
made under the following terms and conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the name of the Trustee
(in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Noteholders or in the
name of a nominee of the Trustee;
(ii) the investment earnings of any investment shall be credited to
the account for which such investment was made;
(iii) any certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent and the Trustee
shall have sole possession of such instrument, and all income on such
investment; and
(iv) the proceeds of any sale of an investment shall be remitted by
the purchaser thereof directly to the Trustee for deposit in the account
in which such investment was held.
(h) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any
insufficiency in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, resulting from
losses on investments made in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.01 (but the institution serving as Trustee shall at all times remain liable
for its own debt obligations, if any, constituting part of such investments).
The Trustee shall not be liable for any investment losses or any liquidation
prior to its maturity or any investment made by it in accordance with this
Section 3.01 on the grounds that it could have made a more favorable investment.
SECTION 3.02 RESERVED.

without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary,
all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as
provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance
under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Property, the
Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be obligated
to act as Servicer prior to its being appointed Successor Servicer. Any such
action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of
Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in
Article VI. If at any time the Issuer shall receive any payment on or in respect
of any Contract or Equipment (including any Residual Payment), it shall hold
such payment in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders, shall
segregate such payment
24
from the other property of the Issuer, and shall, within two Business Days of
receipt, deliver such payment in immediately available funds to the Trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall receive any payment on or in

this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively in good faith
on any such information and calculations in the performance of its duties

any event thereafter be required to refund any such paid amounts.
(c) With respect to the Reserve Account Property, the Issuer
and the Trustee agree that any Reserve Account Property that is held in deposit

representations and warranties, IN MUTATIS MUTANDIS, set forth in Section 2.03
and Section 2.04 of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall
rely on such representations and warranties in accepting the Contracts and the

warranties set forth in Section 2 of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement.
With respect to any breach of the Contributor's representations and warranties

Contract or Contracts, the Issuer shall cause the Contributor to either (a)
replace such Contract and the related Equipment with a Substitute Contract in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Contribution and Servicing
Agreement (and for the Transferor to receive from the Contributor and transfer
to the Issuer such Substitute Contract) or (b) purchase from the Transferor
(which Transferor shall purchase from the Issuer and resell to the Contributor)
the Contract and the security interest in the related Equipment that are
affected by such breach, unless, in each such instance such breach has been
cured, or waived in all respects by Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the
Voting Rights, within 90 days following the Issuer's discovery or receipt of
notice of such breach. In the event of a repurchase of a Contract, the Issuer
and the Transferor (as sole beneficial owner of the Issuer) shall cause the
Contributor to remit to the Trustee (upon written notice to the Trustee thereof)
the Repurchase Amount of such Contract (or, if such Contract is then a Defaulted
Contract, an amount equal to the Repurchase Amount as of the date such Contract
first became a Defaulted Contract, together with interest thereon at the
Discount Rate from the date such Contract first became a Defaulted Contract to
the end of the month in which the repurchase is to be made). The Trustee shall,
to the extent received, deposit such Repurchase Amounts and any cash received in
connection with a substitution in the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00
a.m. New York City time on the second Business Day after receipt thereof. The
sole remedy of the Trustee or the Noteholders against the Contributor with
respect to a breach of a representation or a warranty set forth in Section 2 of
the Contribution and Servicing Agreement, and against the Issuer or the
Transferor with respect to a breach under this agreement or the Pooling and
Trust Agreement by reason of such breach by the Contributor, shall be to require
the Contributor to purchase or substitute Contracts pursuant to the Contribution
and Servicing Agreement, PROVIDED that the limitation contained in this sentence
shall not otherwise limit the rights of any such Person under Section 5.02 of
the Contribution and Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Contributor
fails to purchase or substitute for any Contract that it is required to
substitute or repurchase pursuant to the Contribution and Servicing Agreement,
the Trustee, upon the written direction of the Noteholders, shall enforce the
Issuer's and the Transferor's rights against the Contributor under and in
accordance with the terms of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement and
32
the Pooling and Trust Agreement, as assigned to the Trustee, to require the
purchase or replacement of the Contract.

Substitute Contract and a security interest in the Equipment subject thereto for
a Predecessor Contract and a security interest in the Equipment subject thereto
in accordance with Section 7 of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement, or
(ii) the Contributor shall have purchased a Contract and a security interest in
the related Equipment in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Contribution and
Servicing Agreement, the Predecessor Contract or the repurchased Contract, as
applicable, and the security interest in the Equipment subject thereto, shall be
released from the lien of this Indenture when the Trustee shall have (i) in the
case of the purchase of a Contract, deposited in the Collection Account all
amounts received pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Contribution and Servicing
Agreement, (ii) in the case of a Substitute Contract, received a fully executed
original of the Substitute Contract Transfer Form and the Contract File with
respect to such Substitute Contract plus any cash amount delivered as provided
in Section 7.01(d) of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement, (iii) received
written certification from an Authorized Officer of the Servicer that there are
no unreimbursed Servicer Advances with respect to such Contract and (iv)
delivered to the Contributor acknowledgment of its receipt of the related
Contract Files. If there are such unreimbursed amounts, any proceeds received
with respect to such Predecessor Contract or repurchased Contract, as
applicable, and the security interest in the related Equipment shall be applied
hereunder only to the extent necessary to repay such Servicer Advances (and
clause (iii) of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed satisfied) and to
reimburse the Collection Account for any other amounts drawn thereon and the
balance of such proceeds, if any, shall be paid to, or as directed by, the
Contributor.
In connection with the substitution of a Contract, if the
Discounted Contract Balance of such Substitute Contract is less than the
Discounted Contract Balance of the Predecessor Contract, the Contributor shall,
on the date of substitution, deposit an amount equal to such difference into the
Collection Account.
SECTION 4.04 RELEASE OF CONTRACTS AND EQUIPMENT UPON FINAL
CONTRACT PAYMENT.
(a) In the event that the Trustee shall have received written
certification from an Authorized Officer of the Servicer that the Trustee has
received from amounts paid by the Obligor or from the proceeds of the Equipment
subject to any Contract (i) the final Contract Payment due and payable under any
Contract (including, if applicable, any Purchase Option Payment paid by the
Obligor) or (ii) a Prepayment Amount in respect of any Contract and, following
such final Contract Payment or Prepayment Amount, no further payments on, or in
respect of, such Contract are or will be due and payable, such Contract and the
Equipment subject thereto shall be released from the lien of this Indenture
except if a Restricting Event or an Amortization Event shall have occurred and
then be continuing.
(b) If a Restricting Event or Amortization Event shall have
occurred and then be continuing, then each Contract and the security interest in
all Equipment (except for security interests relating to Equipment subject to a
conditional sales agreement or an equipment note) which would
33
otherwise be released from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section
4.04 shall instead remain subject to such lien and all of the provisions of this
Indenture, including, without limitation, Article VI hereof.
SECTION 4.05 EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS.
The Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver such documents
(which shall be furnished to the Trustee by the Issuer) and take such other
actions as the Issuer, by Issuer Request, may reasonably request to fully
effectuate the release from this Indenture of any Contract and the security
interest relating to Equipment required to be so released pursuant to Sections
4.03 and 4.04 hereof.

SECTION 6.02 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND
ANNULMENT.
(a) If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice
(PROVIDED that such written notice need not have been received by the Trustee in
connection with a payment default as described in Section 6.01(i)), then and in
every such case the Trustee with the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less
than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights may declare the unpaid principal amount of all
the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Issuer, and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become
immediately due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by the Issuer.
(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has
been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, Noteholders
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights, by written notice to the
Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Indenture Event of Default or

SECTION 6.03 OTHER REMEDIES.
(a) If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing
of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice
(PROVIDED that such written notice need not have been received by the Trustee in
the case of a payment default as described in Section 6.01(i)), the Trustee
shall give notice to each Noteholder as set forth in Section 7.02. The Trustee
shall then take such action, if any, as may be directed by Noteholders
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights.
(b) Following any acceleration of the Notes, the Trustee shall
have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Trust Property
as are available to secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law or as are otherwise available to it under applicable law to

hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents; PROVIDED that, so long as
the Offered Notes are outstanding, the Trustee, in acting during the pendency of
an Indenture Event of Default shall act solely on behalf of the holders of the
Offered Notes and shall not take into account any Class F Instruments that may
have been issued in so acting. Such rights, powers and remedies may be exercised
by the Trustee in its own name as trustee of an express trust.
SECTION 6.04 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

obligations secured hereby or relating to the property of the Issuer, the
Transferor, the Contributor, the Servicer or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer,
the Transferor, the Contributor or the Servicer for the payment of overdue
principal or overdue interest or any such other obligation) shall be entitled

counsel) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding,

payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06.

Trustee to authorize or consent to 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
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.

name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment
has been recovered.
SECTION 6.06 APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

pursuant to this Article, and any moneys, securities or property that may then
be held or thereafter received by the Trustee, shall be applied in the following

The holder of any Note shall not have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:
(i) such Noteholder has previously given written notice
to the Trustee of a continuing Indenture Event of Default;

Voting Rights shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Indenture Event of Default in

Trustee adequate indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(iv) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such

(v) so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such 30-day period by Noteholders evidencing not less
than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights;
41
it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholder shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other
Noteholder, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided. It is further understood and intended that so long as
any portion of the Notes remains outstanding, the Servicer shall not have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture (other than for the enforcement of Sections 3.04(b) and 4.04) or for

right to recover amounts due on the Notes to recoveries from the Trust Property,
the holder of any Note shall have the absolute and unconditional right to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal
and interest becomes due on the Payment Dates for such payments, including the
Stated Maturity Date for the applicable Class, and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Noteholder.
SECTION 6.09 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder
and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 6.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes in the last paragraph
of Section 2.05, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 6.11 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any
Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Indenture Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such

given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be
exercised from
42
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Noteholders, as the case may be.
SECTION 6.12 CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS.
Except as may otherwise be provided in this Indenture, until
such time as the conditions specified in Section 11.01 have been satisfied in
full, Noteholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

rule of law or with this Indenture;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be required to follow any
such direction which the Trustee believes may be unduly prejudicial to
the rights of another Noteholder not joining in such direction or which
the Trustee believes might result in any personal liability on the part
of the Trustee for which the Trustee is not indemnified to its
reasonable satisfaction; and
(iii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with any such direction;
PROVIDED that the Trustee shall give notice of any such action to each
Noteholder.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.08 and 9.01,
Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights, may, by one or more
instruments in writing, waive an existing Default or Indenture Event of Default
hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Indenture Event of Default:
(i) in respect of the payment of the principal of or
interest on any outstanding Note (which may only be waived by the
holder of such Note), or

under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the holder of each outstanding Note affected (which only may be waived
by the holders of all outstanding Notes affected).

furnished by the Issuer to the Trustee. Upon any such waiver, such Indenture
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured,

subsequent or other Indenture Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
43
SECTION 6.14 WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 6.15 SALE OF TRUST PROPERTY.
(a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Trust
Property pursuant to Section 6.03 shall not be exhausted by any one or more
sales as to any portion of the Trust Property remaining unsold, but shall
continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Property shall have been sold or all
amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time to
time, upon directions in accordance with Section 6.12, postpone any public sale
by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee
shall not in any private sale sell the Trust Property, or any portion thereof,

11.01(a) have been satisfied in full, Noteholders evidencing not less than
66-2/3% of the Voting Rights consent to or direct the Trustee to make such sale;
or (ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of all amounts
due to the Trustee hereunder and the entire unpaid principal amount of all Class
A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes and Class E Notes then
outstanding and interest due or to become due thereon in accordance with Section
6.06 on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale.
(c) In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the
Trust Property:
(i) any one or more Noteholders or the Trustee may bid

such property, without further accountability, and any Noteholder may,
in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver in lieu of cash any
outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon for credit in the
amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale,
be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable
thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to
the Noteholders after being appropriately stamped to show such partial
payment;
(ii) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any
portion of the Trust Property in connection with a sale thereof;
(iii) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its
interest in any portion of the Trust Property in connection with a sale
thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and

particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
co-trustee or separate trustee.
(iii) The Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by
an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed under this Section 7.11, and, in case an

co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer.
Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the
Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or
removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned

limitation, the Servicer's right thereunder to receive the Servicing Fee (but
not the obligations of the Contributor contained therein) or, (ii) if no such
institution is so appointed, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint an institution meeting such criteria as the Servicer thereunder. Pending
appointment of a successor Servicer under the Contribution and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall cause such
successor Servicer to enter into a servicing agreement substantially in the form
of the Contribution and Servicing Agreement except that such agreement shall not
include any of the Contributor's representations, warranties or obligations and
the Trustee may make arrangements for the compensation of such successor
