behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized
Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized
Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for
original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, Class A-2 Notes for original issue

any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.03 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer
may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such
variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be

the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and

all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.
Section 2.04 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall
cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and
the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon
any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it
elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. If a Person other
than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the
Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the
location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof,
and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on
behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the
Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer
to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, if the requirements of Section
8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or
13 | (2006-A Indenture) |
transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a
like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the
requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the
Indenture Trustee, without having to verify that the requirements of Section 8-401(a) have
been met, shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes
that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
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, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note
Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer
Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be
determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance
with the Exchange Act.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture 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, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or
9.05 not involving any transfer.
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to
make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for
redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with
respect to the Note.
No Note, or any interest therein, may be transferred to an “employee benefit plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of
the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or
any governmental, foreign or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and
covenants that its purchase and holding of such Note, throughout the period that it holds such
Note, is and will be, eligible for relief under Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption (“PTCE”) 90-1; PTCE 96-23; PTCE 95-60; PTCE 91-38; PTCE 84-14 or another applicable
prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan, subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of a Note in book-entry form or
any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted
that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the
same for purposes hereof.

Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon an
Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class;
provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a
mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable, or shall have been
called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents
for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person
taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any
assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the
security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred
by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the
payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the
fees, expenses and indemnities of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.
Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 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.

determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and
interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be

agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby
appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.
Section 3.03 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and
payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection
Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Account shall be made on behalf of the
Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the

shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section.
On or before the Business Day preceding each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient
to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall
promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject
to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:
(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(b) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on
the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with

Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent;

held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards
required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon (including retaining
any Internal Revenue Service forms or certifications establishing exemption therefrom as required
by law) and with respect to any applicable reporting
19 | (2006-A Indenture) |
requirements in connection with any payments made by it on any Notes and any withholding of
taxes therefrom.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent;
and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture
Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged
from such trust and be paid upon Issuer Request to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only
to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall
at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in
the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The
City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall
also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to
Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to
or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).
Section 3.04 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section

any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the
following calendar year.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee may, or the Indenture Trustee if so directed in writing by the Holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes

compensation, indemnity, reimbursement, expenses and disbursements of the
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel and the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Owner Trustee and its agents
and counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture
Trustee.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) a default is made in the payment of any interest on any
Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of thirty-five
(35) days or, (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the
principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the entire amount then
due and payable on such Notes in respect of principal and interest, with interest on the overdue
principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, on
overdue installments of interest at the related Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and
counsel.
(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor on such Notes and

Section 5.04, in its discretion, or shall, at the directions of the Holders of at least a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall reasonably deem most effective to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or
30 | (2006-A Indenture) |
to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee

the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable
Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor on the Notes, or to the creditors or property
of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal

of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire amount of principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or

Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses, reimbursements, indemnities and
liabilities incurred by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a
result of negligence or bad faith.

of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the
Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys,
shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a
party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall
not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.
Section 5.04 Remedies; Priorities.

declared due and payable; and
(y) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of
Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3%

declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default, and such
declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may,

Section 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to
institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default;
(b) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due or the
Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes have made
written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against
the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in complying with such request;
(d) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and
(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any
manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except
in the manner herein provided.
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and
indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section, each representing
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, the Indenture
Trustee shall act at the direction of the group representing the greater percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of Notes and if there is no such group then in its sole discretion may determine
what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if

of such Holder.
Section 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any
Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and
such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely
to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such
Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to the Indenture Trustee 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 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture
Trustee, or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default
or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or
by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the

Indenture Trustee; provided that:
(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;
(b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture
Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less
than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes;
(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture
Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any written direction to
the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and
(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee
that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section
6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in
liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such
action.
Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of
the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders of Notes of not less
than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may, waive any past
Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver,

positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and
not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured
and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Holder of a Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee,
37 | (2006-A Indenture) |
(b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in
the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or in the case of a right or
remedy under this Indenture which is instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).
Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or
application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this
Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired
by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any
execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance
with Section 5.04(b).
Section 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the
Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may
request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as
applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and to exercise any and
all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the extent and in
the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on
the part of either Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of
their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement;
provided, however, nothing herein shall in any way impose on the Indenture Trustee the duty to
monitor the performance of the Seller or the Servicer of any of their liabilities, duties or
obligations under any Basic Document.
(b) If an Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction
(which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges
and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to
take any action to compel or secure performance or observance
38 | (2006-A Indenture) |
by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer
thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, and

ARTICLE VI.
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 6.01 Duties of Indenture Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s
own affairs.
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee. In the absence of bad
faith or negligence on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon the face value of the
certificates, reports, resolutions, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to
the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument; however, the
Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture. If any such instrument is found not to conform in
any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the

Agreement, with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection
from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture

like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.
41 | (2006-A Indenture) |
Section 6.04 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the
Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from

Basic Document or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes
other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
Section 6.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail
to each Noteholder notice of the Default within thirty (30) days after it occurs. Except in the
case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant

provided by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such
information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax
returns.
Section 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay
to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture
Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include but are not limited to the reasonable
out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s
agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the
Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of
its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or under any other Basic Document or
in connection with the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so
notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations
hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the
Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator
to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee
through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for
special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action.
The Issuer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the
discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When
the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section
5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses

of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 6.08 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until
the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and each Rating
Agency. The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may

(b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property;
(d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

any Basic Document.
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as
the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall be paid all amounts owed to it upon its resignation or removal. The successor
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor
Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of
any Successor Indenture Trustee.
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring
Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders
of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be qualified and eligible under
Section 6.11.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated;
and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in
the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the
certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
Section 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the
time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate,
or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No

successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or

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

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

satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the
steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of
such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the
security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this
Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to
express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may

of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date
(including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect
the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of
the Notes contained herein; or

indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to
which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the

supplemental indenture.
Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the
modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The

in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one
percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.
(v) Notwithstanding Section 4.04 or any other provision of this

Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the
extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.
Section 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where
several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person,
it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one
such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or
several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, either Seller, the Issuer or the
Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the
possession of the Servicer, the applicable Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such
counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the
Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the
granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is
intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated
in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such
application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not,
however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy
of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.
Section 11.03 Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
57 | (2006-A Indenture) |
Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof
of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be
done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.
Section 11.04 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other
documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and, if such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given
or furnished to or filed with:
(a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer, shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office; or
(b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to:
Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2006-A, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee,
Xxxxxx Square North, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.
Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered or mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address:
Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000; (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to Xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx
or at the following address: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx
Companies, Inc., 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance
Department; and (iii) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch, Inc., Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx

58 | (2006-A Indenture) |
each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the
other parties.
Section 11.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for
notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise
herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each
Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not
later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of
such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail
such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the
Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work
stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders
when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice
shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any
circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.
Section 11.06 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with
any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any
Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for
such payments or notices, provided that the Issuer agrees to pay any additional expenses incurred
as a result of such alternative payment or notice provision. The Issuer will furnish to the
Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be
made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. The Indenture Trustee shall
provide a copy of any request made pursuant to this Section 11.06 to the Owner Trustee.
Section 11.07 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section
headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.
Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture
and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and
agents.
59 | (2006-A Indenture) |
Section 11.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture 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 11.10 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an
ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 11.11 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due
shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this

and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein
of the Depositor (other than the Trust Estate and Reserve Account relating to this transaction)
conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Depositor to another securitization trust or other
Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by
virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding
the agreements and provisions contained herein, a Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or
claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any
other Person owned by the Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit
in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable
provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and
whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the
Depositor, then each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor which, under the
terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled
to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or
not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to
priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and
whether asserted against Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including the
payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination
agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no
adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be
enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the
third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.
Section 11.16 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor, or join in any
institution against the Issuer or the Depositor, of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this
Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.
Section 11.17 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to
examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies
and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers,
employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often
as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may
only cause the books of the Issuer to be audited on an annual basis, unless there occurs an Event
of Default hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives to, hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent such information is publicly available or
61 | (2006-A Indenture) |
such disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential
treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
determine with the advice of counsel and after consultation with the Issuer that such disclosure is
consistent with its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.18 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this
Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control.
The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the
provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a
part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 11.19 Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the

individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2006-A, in
the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the

the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by
the Issuer under this Indenture or any other related documents.
Section 11.20 Representations and Warranties. The Issuer makes the representations
and warranties set forth below with respect to the Receivables, on which the Indenture Trustee
relies. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Indenture as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the assignment of the Receivables to the
Indenture Trustee, and shall not be waived by the Indenture Trustee except in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture.
(a) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in
the Receivables in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other
Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.
(b) Each Receivables constitutes “chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in

Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of

Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the

pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed (i) to the Depositor or the Issuer in accordance with the

4.838% ASSET BACKED NOTE, CLASS A-1
HYUNDAI AUTO RECEIVABLES TRUST 2006-A, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws

DOLLARS, payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Note Distribution Account in respect of principal on the
Class A-1 Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture dated as of March 15, 2006 (the
“Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., a national banking association, as Indenture
Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal
amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of March 15, 2007 (the “Class A-1

payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date), subject to certain limitations contained
in the last sentence of Section 3.01 of the Indenture. Interest on this Note will accrue for each
Payment Date on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days from the

the manner specified herein.
The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United

the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed

of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)

A-1-2 | (2006-A Indenture) |

Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such
Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and

hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this
Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution”
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other
“signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be
required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Indenture.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,
including the Seller or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee
of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any
such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law,
for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture,
the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency,
A-1-3 | (2006-A Indenture) |
loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any
and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor,
or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture
or the other Basic Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for
purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in
part by income, the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each
Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.
This Note, or any interest therein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any
governmental, foreign or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and
covenants that its purchase and holding of this Note, throughout the period that it holds this Note
is, and will be, eligible for relief under Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption (“PTCE”) 90-1; PTCE 96-23; PTCE 95-60; PTCE 91-38; PTCE 84-14 or another applicable
prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form
or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely
conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified
in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes or the
Controlling Class of Notes, as applicable, representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all
Notes or Controlling Class of Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the
Issuer with certain provisions of the
A-1-4 | (2006-A Indenture) |
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without
the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, Citibank, N.A. in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any
of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the
Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,

Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as
A-2-3 | (2006-A Indenture) |
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the
Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss
or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor,
or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture

purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in
part by income, the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each
Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.

prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form
or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely
conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in

Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes or the
Controlling Class of Notes, as applicable, representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all

percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to
amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of
Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of

the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any
of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that

Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution”
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other
“signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be
required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Indenture.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,
including the Seller or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee
of the Seller, the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any
such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law,
for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as
A-4-3 | (2006-A Indenture) |
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the
Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss
or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor,
or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture
or the other Basic Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for
purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in
part by income, the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each
Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.
This Note, or any interest therein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any
governmental, foreign or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and
covenants that its purchase and holding of this Note, throughout the period that it holds this Note
is, and will be, eligible for relief under Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption (“PTCE”) 90-1; PTCE 96-23; PTCE 95-60; PTCE 91-38; PTCE 84-14 or another applicable
prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form
or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely
conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified
in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes or the
Controlling Class of Notes, as applicable, representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all
Notes or Controlling Class of Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting Holders of Notes representing specified
A-4-4 | (2006-A Indenture) |
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to
amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of
Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of
and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein
prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, Citibank, N.A. in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or

the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any
of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that

of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture

its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any
such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law,
for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture,
the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency,

loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any
and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor,
or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture
or the other Basic Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for
purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in
part by income, the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each
Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.
This Note, or any interest therein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any
governmental, foreign or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and
covenants that its purchase and holding of this Note, throughout the period that it holds this Note
is, and will be, eligible for relief under Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption (“PTCE”) 90-1; PTCE 96-23; PTCE 95-60; PTCE 91-38; PTCE 84-14 or another applicable
prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form
or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely
conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified
in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes or the
Controlling Class of Notes, as applicable, representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all
Notes or Controlling Class of Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the
Issuer with certain provisions of the
B-4 | (2006-A Indenture) |
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without
the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note and the Indenture shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law
provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall
be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, Citibank, N.A. in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any
of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that

beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or

loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any
and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that

that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds
are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in
the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder
hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by
facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in The
City of New York.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class D Rate to the
extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations set forth therein and on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this
Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution”
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other
“signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be
required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Indenture.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,
including the Seller or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee
of the Seller, the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any
such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law,
for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture,
the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim
therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to
D-3 | (2006-A Indenture) |
prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor,
or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture
or the other Basic Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for
purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in
part by income, the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each
Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in
a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.
This Note, or any interest therein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any
governmental, foreign or church plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless such transferee represents, warrants and
covenants that its purchase and holding of this Note, throughout the period that it holds this Note
is, and will be, eligible for relief under Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption (“PTCE”) 90-1; PTCE 96-23; PTCE 95-60; PTCE 91-38; PTCE 84-14 or another applicable
prohibited transaction exemption (or in the case of a governmental, foreign or church plan subject
to law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a similar
type of exemption or other applicable relief). By its acquisition of this Note in book-entry form
or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely
conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified
in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes or the
Controlling Class of Notes, as applicable, representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all
Notes or Controlling Class of Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the
Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent
D-4 | (2006-A Indenture) |
or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without
the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture. The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the
Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, Citibank, N.A. in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, or
any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for,
the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any
of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this
Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets
of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture
or in this Note.
