Section 2.4 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of each of the Co-Issuers by an Authorized Officer of each of the Co-Issuers, respectively. The signature of such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of signing Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer and Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of signing Authorized Officers of the Co-Issuer shall bind the Co-Issuer, notwithstanding the fact 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 issuance of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Co-Issuers may deliver Notes executed by the Co-Issuers to the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.

Each Note authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent to or upon Company Order on the Closing Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. All other Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in the Authorized Minimum Denominations reflecting the original Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of such subsequently issued Notes.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual or facsimile signature of one of their Authorized Officers, 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 2.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Co-Issuers shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Co-Issuers shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes with respect to each Series. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed the initial “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Co-Issuers as Note Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall 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 Registrar, 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 rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and numbers of such Notes.

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the surrendered Notes shall be returned to the Co-Issuers marked “canceled,” or retained by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy, and the Co-Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any Authorized Minimum Denominations and of a like Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, at the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any Authorized Minimum Denominations and of like Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Co-Issuers shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Co-Issuers, 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, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Co-Issuers and the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Neither the Note Registrar nor the Co-Issuers shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption.

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause either of the Co-Issuers or the pool of Collateral to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

No Note may be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. Persons except to QIBs (who are also QPs) purchasing for their own account or for the accounts of one or more QIBs (who are also QPs), for which the purchaser is acting as fiduciary or agent in accordance with Rule 144A. The Notes may be sold or resold, as the case may be, in offshore transactions to purchasers each of whom is a QP and is not a U.S. Person in reliance on Regulation S; provided that if such sale or resale occurs prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the transferred interest must be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or any other Person may register the Notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(c) Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent (outside the United States if then required by applicable law in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 2.10) on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as any Global Note remains Outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers of such Global Note, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(d) and this Section 2.5(d).

(i) Subject to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.5(d), transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to a nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee.

(ii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note for such Series of Notes or to transfer its interest

in such Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or DTC, as the case may be, cause the exchange or transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note; provided that the remaining beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note held by such holder shall either equal zero or meet the Authorized Minimum Denominations. To the extent that the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, and the Co-Issuers have received (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred but not less than the Authorized Minimum Denominations applicable to Notes held through Rule 144A Global Notes, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange) or the transferee of such beneficial interest (in the case of a transfer) stating that, in the case of a transfer, the holder transferring such interest in the Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the transferee acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB (who is also a QP) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction, or that, in the case of an exchange, the holder is a QIB (who is also a QP), then Euroclear or Clearstream or the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall instruct DTC to reduce the Regulation S Global Note by the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, and the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note.

(iii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note for such Series of Notes, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer, such transferee, is a QP and is not a U.S. Person may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer or cause the exchange or transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note; provided that the remaining beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note held by such holder shall either equal zero or meet the Authorized Minimum Denominations. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, and the Co-Issuers of (A) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Indenture Trustee to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, but

not less than the Authorized Minimum Denominations applicable to Notes held through Regulation S Global Notes, (B) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and, in the case of a transfer or exchange pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, given by the holder of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange) or the transferee of such beneficial interest (in the case of a transfer) stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes, including in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S, and that such transferee is a QP, the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall instruct DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note. A U.S. Person may not hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Note at any time.

(iv) Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for one or more Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.10, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers (i) comply with Rule 144A and are made only to QIBs (who are also QPs), or (ii) comply with Regulation S and are made only to Persons who are QPs and who also are not U.S. Persons) and otherwise comply with such procedures as may be from time to time adopted by the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee.

(v) Transfer of Interests in the Global Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, transfers of interests in a Global Note may be made (a) by book-entry transfer of beneficial interests within the relevant Clearing Agency or (b)(i) in the case of transfers of interests in a Rule 144A Global Note for interests in a Regulation S Global Note, in accordance with Section 2.5(d)(iii) hereof or (ii) in the case of transfers of interests in a Regulation S Global Note for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note, in accordance with Section 2.5(d)(ii) hereof; provided that, in the case of any such transfer of interests pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, such transfer is made in accordance with subsection (vi) below.

(vi) Restrictions on Transfers.

(1) Transfers of interests in a Regulation S Global Note to a U.S. Person shall be made by delivery of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note and shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(d). Beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or, after the Distribution Compliance Period, by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream. Any transfer of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a U.S. Person or to a Person that is not a QP shall be invalid and shall not be given effect for

any purpose hereunder, and the Indenture Trustee shall hold any funds conveyed by the intended transferee of such interest in such Regulation S Global Note in trust for the transferor and shall promptly reconvey such funds to such Person in accordance with the written instructions thereof delivered to the Indenture Trustee at its address listed in Section 15.3.

(e) Transfers of Definitive Notes, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.5(e).

(i) Definitive Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in one or more Definitive Notes of a Series of Notes for which there exists a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series of Notes, or to transfer its interest in such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note of the same Series of Notes, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer to another Person, such Person is not a U.S. Person, may exchange or cause the exchange of such interest, or may so transfer such interest, as the case may be, for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5(e)(i). Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, of (A) such Definitive Note properly endorsed for such transfer to the transferee and written instructions from the Holder of such Definitive Note directing the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, to cause the Regulation S Global Note to be increased by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Definitive Note (but not less than the Authorized Minimum Denomination applicable to the Notes of such Series of Notes), to be exchanged or transferred, (B) a written order containing information regarding the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Regulation S Global Notes, including, in the case of a transfer, that the transferee is a QP and is not a U.S. Person and that the transfer is being made pursuant to Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S, the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.9, record the transfer in the Note Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a), and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note of the same Series of Notes by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Definitive Note being exchanged or transferred, and instruct DTC to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note equal to such amount.

(ii) Transfer of Definitive Notes. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Definitive Note wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Definitive Note, such holder may transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in one or more Definitive Notes of the same Series of Notes as provided below. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, of (A) such holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit D hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in accordance with the applicable restrictions in this Indenture, including that the transferee, (x) if such Note is being offered, sold or delivered within the United States, or to, or for the benefit of, a U.S. Person, such transferee is a QIB (who is also a QP), or (y) if such Note is being offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S, such transferee is a QP who is not a U.S. Person and is located outside of the United States, then the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.9, record the transfer in the Note Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes of the same Series of Notes, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such amounts being equal to the beneficial interest in the Definitive Notes surrendered by the transferor), which shall not be less than the Authorized Minimum Denomination for the related Series of Notes.

(iii) Exchange of Definitive Notes. If a holder of a beneficial interest in one or more Definitive Notes wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Notes for one or more Definitive Notes of different principal amounts of the same Series of Notes (but not less than the Authorized Minimum Denomination applicable thereto) that will be beneficially owned by such holder, such holder may exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in Definitive Notes of the same Series of Notes as provided below. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, of (A) such holder’s Definitive Notes properly endorsed for such exchange and (B) written instructions from the Holder (or such beneficial holder, as identified by the Holder) of such Definitive Note designating the number and principal amounts of the Definitive Notes to be exchanged (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Definitive Notes surrendered for exchange) and certifying that such exchange does not represent a change in beneficial ownership, then the Indenture Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.9, record the exchange in the Note Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes of the same Series of Notes, registered in the same names as the Definitive Notes surrendered by such holder or such different names as are specified in the endorsement described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by such Holder (the aggregate of such amounts being equal to the beneficial interest in the Definitive Notes surrendered by such holder).

(f) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in exhibits to the applicable Series Supplement, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be,

unless there is delivered to the Co-Issuers such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee), as may be reasonably required by the Co-Issuers to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, ERISA or the Code, as applicable. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Co-Issuers to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Co-Issuers, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

(g) Each purchaser who becomes a beneficial owner of the Notes represented by an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note shall be deemed to represent, certify and agree with the Co-Issuers and the Initial Purchaser as follows (terms used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A are used herein as defined therein):

(i) The purchaser understands that the Notes have not been recommended by any United States federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. The foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any Offering Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(ii) The purchaser (a) is a QIB (who is also a QP), (b) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (c) is acquiring such Notes for its own account or for the account of a QIB (who is also a QP) over which it exercises sole investment discretion, (d) is not (and any such account is not) a pension, profit sharing or other retirement trust fund or plan in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants, as applicable, may designate the particular investments to be made, (e) is not a broker dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25,000,000 in securities of issuers that are not affiliated persons of the broker-dealer and (f) agrees that it and each such account shall not hold such Notes for the benefit of any other Person and shall be the sole beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and that it shall not sell participation interests in the Notes or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other Person shall be entitled to a beneficial interest in the distributions on the Notes.

(iii) The purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and that if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Notes, such Notes may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (i) to QIBs (who are also QPs) pursuant to Rule 144A or (ii) in an offshore transaction complying with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S, and in accordance with the legends set forth in the applicable Series Supplement.

(iv) The purchaser acknowledges that neither of the Co-Issuers has been registered under the Investment Company Act.

(v) The purchaser acknowledges that none of the Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any Person representing the

Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer has made any representation to it with respect to the Co-Issuers, any Affiliates thereof or the offering or sale of the Notes, other than the information contained in the Offering Circular and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such parties. None of the Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor for it and it is not relying (for purposes of making an investment decision) on any written or oral advice or counsel of the Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates other than the information contained in the Offering Circular and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such parties. It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary, and has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transactions pursuant to this Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates. The purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Notes, and the purchaser, and any accounts for which it is acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of the purchaser’s or its investment. It is purchasing the Notes for its own account, or for one or more investor accounts for which it is acting as a fiduciary or agent, in each case for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, subject to any requirements of law that the disposition of its property or the property of such investor account be at all times within its or their control and subject to its or their ability to resell such Notes pursuant to Rule 144A. It understands that an investment in the Notes involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. It has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Co-Issuers and the Notes as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions of, and request information from, the Co-Issuers. None of the Co-Issuers, the Initial Purchaser, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer have given to the purchaser (directly or indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of the Indenture, the Notes or the other documentation for the Notes. The purchaser has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and sale of the Notes reflect those in the relevant market for similar transactions and the purchaser is purchasing the Notes with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof (economic or otherwise) and it is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks. The purchaser is a sophisticated investor.

(vi) The purchaser understands that the Notes will, unless otherwise agreed by the Co-Issuers and the holder thereof in compliance with applicable law, bear one or more legends substantially as set forth in the applicable Series Supplement.

(vii) The purchaser understands that the Notes offered in reliance on Rule 144A will be represented by one or more Rule 144A Global Notes. Before any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the transferor will be required to provide the Indenture Trustee with a written certification as to compliance with transfer restrictions as set forth in this Indenture.

(viii) The purchaser will not, at any time, offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or advertising.

(ix) The purchaser understands that the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Initial Purchaser and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance.

(x) The purchaser understands that the Co-Issuers shall require certification acceptable to the Co-Issuers (i) as a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without, or at a reduced rate of, U.S. withholding or backup withholding tax, and (ii) to enable it to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that it, the Indenture Trustee or any paying agent may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Notes made to the holder of such Notes under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business) or any successors to such IRS forms). Each purchaser agrees to provide any certification requested pursuant to this paragraph within a reasonable time period after such request is initially made and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

(xi) The purchaser understands that the Notes represent the obligation of the Co-Issuers only and other than payments that may arise under certain representations and warranties made by certain of its Affiliates, payments on the Notes are not the obligations of any of its Affiliates.

(h) Each purchaser who becomes a beneficial owner of the Notes represented by an interest in a Regulation S Global Note shall be deemed to represent, certify and agree with the Co-Issuers and the Initial Purchaser as to all of the matters set forth above under Sections 2.5(g)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (x) and (xi) and to have further represented as follows (terms used in this paragraph are defined in Regulation S and are used as defined):

(i) In connection with the purchase of the Notes: (A) the beneficial owner is not a “U.S. Person” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) and is acquiring the Notes in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S thereunder, (B) such beneficial owner is a QP and (C) such beneficial owner is not acquiring any Note as part of a plan to reduce, avoid or evade U.S. federal income taxes owed, owing or potentially owed or owing.

(ii) The purchaser or beneficial owner is aware that the sale of such Notes to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S and are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act. Such Person further understands that the Notes offered in reliance on Regulation S will bear the legend set forth in the applicable Series Supplement and will be represented by one or more Regulation S Global Notes. The purchaser and each beneficial owner of the Notes, is a QP and is not and will not be, a U.S. Person as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, and its purchase of the Notes will comply with all applicable laws in any jurisdiction in which it resides or is located. Before any interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, the transferor will be required to provide the Indenture Trustee with a written certification as to compliance with the transfer restrictions as set forth in this Indenture. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that no representation has been made as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws for resale of the Notes.

(iii) The purchaser is aware that, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Notes being sold to it will be represented (A) initially by one or more Temporary Regulation S Global Notes and (B) on or after the last day of the period ending 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and the Closing Date (the “Distribution Compliance Period”), by one or more Regulation S Global Notes, and that in each case beneficial interests therein may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream.

(iv) The purchaser understands that, prior to the first Business Day following the Distribution Compliance Period, any resale or other transfer of beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note in the United States or to U.S. Persons shall not be permitted.

(v) The purchaser will not, at any time, offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or advertising.

(vi) The purchaser understands that the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Initial Purchaser and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance.

(i) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder and shall not be registered.

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S), the Investment Company Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Indenture Trustee and/or Note Registrar, as applicable, shall be under a duty to receive such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

(k) If the Indenture Trustee determines or is notified by the Co-Issuers or the Initial Purchaser that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was not consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of an incorrect form or certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Indenture Trustee any form or certificate required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Indenture Trustee shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

(l) With respect to each Series of Notes, the Co-Issuers shall:

(i) request DTC to include the “3c7” marker in the DTC 20 character security descriptor and the 48 character additional descriptor for the Notes in order to indicate that sales to U.S. persons are limited to QPs;

(ii) request DTC to cause each physical DTC delivery order ticket delivered by DTC to purchasers to contain the 20 character security descriptor and shall request DTC to cause each DTC delivery order ticket delivered by DTC to purchasers in electronic form to contain the “3c7” indicator and the related user manual for participants;

(iii) request DTC, on the Closing Date or any Issuance Date (as applicable), to send an “Important Notice” to all DTC participants in connection with the offering of the Notes. The “Important Notice” shall notify DTC’s participants that the Notes are Section 3(c)(7) securities;

(iv) request that DTC include the Notes in DTC’s “Reference Directory” of Section 3(c)(7) offerings;

(v) cause each “CUSIP” number obtained for a Note to have an attached “fixed field” that contains “3c7” and “144A” indicators;

(vi) from time to time request all third party vendors (including Bloomberg) to include on screens maintained by such vendors appropriate legends regarding the Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) restrictions on the Notes; and

(vii) from time to time (upon the request of the Indenture Trustee) request DTC to deliver to the Co-Issuers a list of all DTC participants holding an interest in the Notes.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Specified Person such reasonable security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Co-Issuers shall execute and, upon Company Request, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a Protected Purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking there from, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Co-Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Co-Issuers may require the payment by the registered holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Co-Issuers and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph

of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Rights Preserved. (a) Interest on each Series of Notes shall accrue during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Note Interest Rate and as provided in the applicable Series Supplement and shall be due and payable in arrears on the Payment Date related to such Interest Accrual Period in accordance with Article XI. Except as expressly provided herein, no payment of interest on the Notes shall be made by the Co-Issuers hereunder other than on a Payment Date.

(b) Principal of each Series of Notes shall be paid on each Payment Date to the extent such payment is then due and funds are available therefor in accordance with Article XI. Any principal amounts thereof remaining unpaid on the applicable Series Legal Final Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the applicable Series Legal Final Maturity Date or earlier upon the occurrence of an acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

(c) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent shall require, and Noteholder shall provide, certification acceptable to it to enable the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Note or the Holder of such Note under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business) or any successors to such IRS forms). In addition, the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Co-Issuers to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Co-Issuers receive payments on their assets. Each Holder of any Note agrees to provide any certification requested pursuant to this paragraph within a reasonable time period after such request is initially made and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

The Indenture Trustee hereby provides notice to each Noteholder that the failure of such Noteholder to provide the Indenture Trustee with appropriate tax certifications will result in amounts being withheld from payments to such Noteholders under the Indenture (provided that amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Co-Issuers).

(d) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Indenture Trustee on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States of America, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Note Register. It is herein acknowledged that transfer of funds by the Indenture Trustee from the appropriate Indenture Trust Account to, or for further credit to, a U.S. Dollar account of a Paying Agent outside the United States shall be permitted under the preceding sentence (and it is acknowledged that any payment by wire transfer of U.S. Dollars outside the United States is subject to applicable banking procedures and limitations applicable to wire transfer of U.S. Dollars). The Co-Issuers expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by DTC or its nominee, will immediately credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. The Co-Issuers also expect that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments shall be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent (outside of the United States if then required by applicable law in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records maintained by DTC or its nominee or any of the Agent Members relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note. None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Legal Final Maturity Date thereof), the Co-Issuers or, upon Company Request, the Indenture Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall, not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Note Register a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment per $100,000 initial principal amount of Notes and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(e) Interest on any Note which is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

(f) Payments of principal to Holders of the Notes of each Series of Notes shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of such Series of Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Notes of such Series of Notes on such Record Date.

(g) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date (including any Redemption Date) shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(h) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(i) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, if the Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of Section 2.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2.

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat as the owner of a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Note Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and neither the Co-Issuers nor the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided that DTC, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.

Section 2.9 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Indenture Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Co-Issuers shall direct by a Company Order that they be returned to it.

Section 2.10 Global Notes; Temporary Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof only if (i) such transfer complies with Section 2.5 and (ii) either (x) DTC notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or if at any time DTC ceases

to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary that is so registered is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within ninety (90) days of such notice, (y) in the case of a Global Note held for the account of Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of statutory or other holidays) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be surrendered by DTC to the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office together with (i) necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of Definitive Notes to the beneficial owners (or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership interests in such Global Note, and (ii) a transfer certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto from such beneficial owner. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the same Series of Notes and Authorized Minimum Denominations. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall bear, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), the applicable legend set forth in exhibits to the applicable Series Supplement and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legends. The holder of such a registered individual Note may transfer such Note by surrendering it at the office or agency maintained by the Co-Issuers for this purpose in The City of New York, or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, or at the office of any Paying Agent.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, the Co-Issuers shall promptly make available to the Indenture Trustee a reasonable supply of Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Co-Issuers may execute, and upon Company Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any Authorized Minimum Denominations, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Co-Issuers shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange, all as determined by the Officers executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Co-Issuers for such

purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Co-Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Definitive Notes of Authorized Minimum Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 No Gross Up. If either of the Co-Issuers becomes subject to deduction, withholding, or other charge or assessment from, or with respect to, payments to any Holder of the Notes for any present or future tax, duty, assessment, or governmental charge, then (i) the Issuer shall give prompt written notice of the requirement to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders (which shall include certification of the amount so deducted, withheld, charged, or assessed) and (ii) the Indenture Trustee or other Paying Agent, as applicable, shall, except as provided under any Series Supplement, reduce the amount payable in respect of the Notes by the amount required to be deducted, withheld, charged, or assessed from payments on the Notes on any Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided under any Series Supplement, neither the Issuer nor the Insurers shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Noteholders as a result of any such deduction, withholding, charge, or assessment.

Section 2.12 Tax Confidentiality Waiver.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, all Persons may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitations of any kind, the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Notes, the Co-Issuers or any of the transactions referred to in any Offering Circular, this Indenture or any other transaction document described herein, any fact that may be relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Notes, the Co-Issuers or any of the transactions referred to in any Offering Circular, this Indenture or any other transaction document described herein, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment, other than the name of the parties or any other Person named herein, or information that would permit identification of the parties or such other Persons.

Section 2.13 Actions under an Insurance Policy. (a) Any payment made by an Insurer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of any Series Notes (whether under the applicable Insurance Policy or otherwise) shall not be deemed to be a payment made by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers and shall not discharge the obligations of the Co-Issuers with respect thereto or constitute a cure of a Default or Event of Default and such amounts shall continue to be due and owing under such Notes until paid by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers. All such payments shall be repayable by the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 11.1.

(b) If payment by an Insurer is made in respect of interest on any Series Notes, such payment shall be applied solely to the payment of such interest subject to the terms of the applicable Insurance Policy and such Insurer shall be deemed to the extent of such payment to have purchased from the Holder of such Series Notes the right to receive such interest on such Series Notes to the extent the same is subsequently paid by the Co-Issuers. If payment by an Insurer is made in respect of principal on any Series Notes, such payment shall be applied solely to the payment of such principal subject to the terms of the applicable Insurance Policy and such Insurer shall be deemed to have purchased such Series Notes in an Aggregate Outstanding

Principal Amount equal to the amount so paid by such Insurer. Such Insurer shall be deemed to be a Holder of such Series Notes during any period in which such Insurer may exercise subrogation rights pursuant to Section 2.14.

(c) With respect to any Series Notes, if, by 3:00 p.m. in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located on the day preceding the Accounting Date in respect of any Payment Date, the amount then on deposit in the Collections Account, the Expense Payment Accounts, the Series Interest Reserve Account, and the Series Trigger Reserve Account, after giving effect to transfers of funds pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof is insufficient to pay the Insured Obligations relating to the applicable Series of Notes due on such Payment Date, then, on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following such Accounting Date, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice to the Insurer relating to such Series Notes of the amount of such deficiency, and thereupon submit a Notice of Payment (as defined in the applicable Insurance Policy) in respect of such amount, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and in strict compliance with the terms of the applicable Insurance Policy.

(d) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of an appropriate court that any Insured Obligation of principal of or interest on any Series Notes has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Insurer relating to such Series Notes, shall comply with the provisions of the applicable Insurance Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer relating to such Series Notes of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer relating to such Series of Notes, notify Holders of such Series Notes by mail that, in the event that any such Noteholder’s Insured Obligation is so recovered, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the applicable Insurance Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer relating to such Series Notes the Indenture Trustee’s records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on such Series Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from the Noteholders, and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to but subject to the terms of the applicable Insurance Policy, an Insurer relating to such Series Notes will make such payment on behalf of the Noteholder to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order (as defined in the applicable Insurance Policy) and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless a Noteholder has previously paid such payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer relating to such Series Notes will make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to such Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Insurer).

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer relating to any Series Notes of any proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to such Series Notes. With respect to any Series Notes, each Noteholder, by its purchase of Series Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree to the provisions of the related Insurance Agreement and Insurance Policy and agree that the Insurer relating to such Series Notes may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim involving such Notes direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any

Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer relating to such Series Notes, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement applicable to such Series Notes. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 2.14 hereof, an Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder relating to a Series of Notes and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each such Noteholder and the Notes relating to such Series of Notes in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.

(f) By acceptance of a Series Note with respect to which an Insurance Policy has been issued, each Series Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of such Insurance Policy. Nothing in this Indenture referring to or describing any obligation of an Insurer under its Insurance Policy shall or is intended to modify any of the terms, provisions or conditions of such Insurance Policy.

Section 2.8 Subrogation Rights of Insurers; Payment of Reimbursements.

(a) Upon the payment by any Insurer relating to Series Notes to the Indenture Trustee (or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Insurance Policy) for the benefit of the Holders of such Series Notes, such Insurer, without the need for further action on the part of such Insurer, the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or any other Person, shall be fully subrogated to the rights, as applicable, of each such Noteholder to receive payments of principal of and/or interest on the Series Notes from the Co-Issuers in accordance with Article XI, to the extent (i) of the amounts paid by such Insurer under the applicable Insurance Policy, and (ii) that such payment by the Co-Issuers is being made in respect of the specific principal and/or interest payment as to which such Insurer made its payment. In addition, until such Insurer is fully reimbursed in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable Insurance Agreement for any amounts paid by such Insurer to such Noteholders, such Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to such Series Notes to the extent that it has made payment of principal or interest for the benefit of such Series Notes pursuant to the applicable Insurance Policy. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall give effect to such subrogation by distributing to such Insurer (as subrogee of Noteholders and the Series Notes) the amounts that otherwise would have been distributed by the Indenture Trustee to such Holders in respect of principal and interest on the Series Notes to the extent (i) of any payments by the Insurer relating to such Series Notes under the applicable Insurance Policy, and (ii) that such payment by the Co-Issuers is being made in respect of the specific principal and/or interest payment as to which such Insurer made its payment. To evidence such subrogation to the rights of such Noteholders, the Note Registrar shall note such Insurer’s rights as such subrogee in the Note Register upon receipt from such Insurer of proof of payment by such Insurer in respect of interest on or principal of such Series Notes. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, (a) if an Insurer relating to any Series Notes makes any payment under the applicable Insurance Policy in respect of interest on such Series Notes, such Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the rights of Noteholders and the Series Notes relating to such Series Notes to receive the relevant interest payment, together with interest thereon under Article XI; and (b) if such Insurer makes any payment under the applicable Insurance Policy in respect of principal of such Series Notes

and such Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the rights of such Noteholders to receive the relevant principal payment, together with interest thereon under Article XI.

(b) Any Insurer may, at its option, direct the allocation of any payment of Reimbursements as provided in Section 11.1 as being the repayment of principal and/or interest as to Reimbursements then owing as of such reimbursement or payment date.

(c) Anything hereunder notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that each Insurer shall be entitled to payment of Reimbursement only at the times and as provided in this Indenture and in the applicable Insurance Agreement and Insurance Policy. All payments received by an Insurer pursuant to the exercise of its rights under the Notes as subrogee as described in subsection (a) above shall cause a corresponding reduction (on a dollar-for-dollar basis) in the Reimbursement obligations owing to such Insurer, and all payments received by such Insurer in respect of Reimbursement obligations as provided in subsection (b) above shall cause a corresponding reduction (on a dollar-for-dollar basis) in the amounts which may be owing to such Insurer pursuant to such subrogation rights.

(d) Each Insurer by its execution of the applicable Series Supplement acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Indenture, the applicable Insurance Agreement, the applicable Series Supplement or otherwise, it shall have recourse only to the Collateral. The Collateral having been fully applied in accordance with the terms hereof, such Insurer shall not be entitled to take any further actions against either of the Co-Issuers to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished as against the Co-Issuers. In particular, each Insurer by its execution of the applicable Series Supplement agrees not to take any action or institute or join in instituting any proceeding against either of the Co-Issuers (whether pursuant to its rights to be reimbursed for Reimbursements or pursuant to its subrogation rights or otherwise), until at least one year and one day, or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued hereunder (including any Series Supplement), which action or proceeding arises under any Insolvency Law applicable to either of the Co-Issuers, respectively or which would be likely to cause either of the Co-Issuers to be subject to, or to seek the protection of, any Insolvency Law applicable to either of the Co-Issuers, respectively; provided, that each Insurer may become a party to and participate in any Proceeding or action under any Insolvency Law applicable to either of the Co-Issuers, respectively, that is initiated by any Person that is not an Affiliate of such Insurer. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.14(d) shall not include any actions taken against the Servicer or any other Affiliate of the Servicer in respect of matters unrelated to Reimbursement by the Co-Issuers.

Section 2.15 Additional Covenant of the Insurers. Each Insurer by its execution of the applicable Series Supplement agrees to promptly notify in writing, promptly upon such Insurer’s knowledge of such event, the Indenture Trustee of the actual or prospective occurrence of any event which constitutes or would constitute an Insurer Event of Default relating to such Insurer. The Indenture Trustee and the Co-Issuers shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such event until receipt of written notice of such event from such Insurer, or until any other Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Co-Issuers, as the case may be, responsible for administering the transactions herein described has actual knowledge of such event.

Section 2.16 Applicability of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 shall apply to a Series of Notes only if and for so long as such Series Notes are insured pursuant to an Insurance Policy or any amount is owing to the Insurer relating to such Series of Notes.

Section 2.17 Escheat. 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 to any Noteholder with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Co-Issuers upon delivery of a Servicer Order. The Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Co-Issuers (and not to the applicable Insurer) for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Co-Issuers), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent (as applicable) with respect to such trust money paid to the Co-Issuers shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London and Luxembourg (if the related Series of Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Co-Issuers. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Co-Issuers any other commercially reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix), the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by the Aggregate Controlling Party, shall declare, on written notice to the Co-Issuers (unless no written notice is required under the Indenture), the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration, such Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable under the Indenture, shall automatically become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 11.1. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all of the Notes, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such acceleration (whether occurring automatically or by the declaration of the Indenture Trustee) shall result in an acceleration of payments under any Insurance Policy.

(b) At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Notes have been accelerated, the Indenture Trustee shall at the direction of the Aggregate Controlling Party invest or dispose of any or all of the Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to institute any proceedings or take any other action (excluding the actions expressly set forth herein) unless (i) with respect to an acceleration of Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, it shall have been so requested by the Aggregate Controlling Party, and (ii) it shall have been provided security or indemnity to its reasonable satisfaction.

(c) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made relating to the Notes and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Aggregate Controlling Party (except in respect of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(vii), (viii)or (ix), in which case rescission shall be subject to the consent of each Series Controlling Party), by written notice to the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Co-Issuers have paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue installments of interest and principal on the Notes,

(B) all unpaid taxes, administrative expenses and other sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any due and unpaid Servicing Fees, and

(C) all outstanding Reimbursements, Insurer Expenses and Series Insurance Premium Payable Amounts owed to each Insurer; and

(ii) the Indenture Trustee has determined, after consultation with counsel, that all Events of Default, other than the non payment of interest on or principal of the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and, if any Event of Default (not including any Event of Default occurring for a Series solely as a result of cross default to a Series Event of Default for another Series) was a Series Event of Default only for some but not all of the Series of Notes, the Series Controlling Party for such Series of Notes, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or has waived such Series Event of Default pursuant to the applicable Series Supplement.

No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.3 Enforcement. (a) At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Notes have been accelerated, the Indenture Trustee shall, pursuant to an Aggregate Controlling Party Order, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also shall, pursuant to an Aggregate Controlling Party Order, (i) require the Co-Issuers to, and each of the Co-Issuers hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Indenture Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Indenture Trustee and make it available to the Indenture Trustee at a place and time to be designated by the Indenture Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Indenture Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Indenture Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer where the

Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Franchise Agreements, the Franchise Payments, and the other Franchise Assets included in the Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Indenture Trust Accounts, and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies of the Issuer and Co-Issuer, to the extent transferable to the Indenture Trustee or exercisable by the Indenture Trustee, as agent on behalf of the Issuer or Co-Issuer, with respect to the Franchise Agreements, the Franchise Payments, the IP Assets and the other Franchise Assets included in the Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. The Co-Issuers agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Co-Issuers of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Indenture Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Upon the acceleration of the Notes under Section 5.2 hereof, the Indenture Trustee (i) shall (if and as directed pursuant to an Aggregate Controlling Party Order relating to the Notes), institute Proceedings to enforce the rights of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, to foreclose upon the Collateral or sell the Collateral under a decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) may at its discretion take any other action of a secured party as permitted by the laws of the State of New York.

(c) In the case of an Insurer Event of Default relating to any Series of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall institute such Proceedings or take such other action to enforce the obligations of the Insurer relating to such Series of Notes under the applicable Insurance Policy as the Holders of a Majority of the Series Outstanding Principal Amount shall direct in writing.

(d) No Noteholder relating to a Series of Notes shall be entitled to institute Proceedings or take such other action directly against any of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, any other Securitization Entity, the Servicer, the Insurer relating to such Series of Notes or the Collateral with respect to any Notes, whether to enforce the Co-Issuers’ obligations hereunder or under such Notes, or against any Collateral securing the Notes, unless (i) the Indenture Trustee, having become bound so to act, fails to institute Proceedings against the Co-Issuers or with respect to any such Collateral within a reasonable time and such failure is continuing, (ii) with respect to such Series of Notes, an Insurer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal for such Series of Notes agree in writing.

(e) Upon any sale of any or all of the Collateral securing the Notes as provided in this Indenture, the following shall be applicable:

(i) The Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to the extent permitted by law, in their name and xxxxx, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of the property thus sold; and for that purpose may make instruments and instructions and may substitute one or more Persons with like power; and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby ratify and confirm all that its said attorney, or such substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.

(ii) If so requested by the Indenture Trustee or by any purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall ratify and confirm any such sale, or transfer by executing and delivering to the Indenture Trustee or to such purchaser or purchasers all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance or transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee or any Insurer relating to the Notes may bid for and purchase any of the Collateral, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such.

(iv) The receipt of the purchase price by the Indenture Trustee or of the officer making such sale under a judicial proceeding shall be sufficient discharge to any purchaser for his purchase money, and, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt, such purchaser or its personal representatives or assigns shall not be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

(v) Any such sale, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall operate to divest the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, of all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, in and to the Collateral so sold and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and at equity or otherwise against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, and their successors and assigns, and any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the Collateral sold or any part thereof from, through or under the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, or their successors and assigns.

(vi) Any moneys collected by the Indenture Trustee upon any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any of the Collateral or otherwise upon the enforcement of this Indenture, shall be applied as provided in Section 5.4 hereof.

(i) The Indenture Trustee in its own name, or as Indenture Trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for Holders of Notes, any Insurer or any other Secured Party, as the case may be, or in any one or more of such capacities shall be entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or other Proceedings at law, in equity or

otherwise, to recover judgment against the Co-Issuers for the whole amount due and unpaid on the Secured Obligations, and against any Insurer for any amounts owing under any Insurance Policy and may prosecute any such claims or Proceedings to judgment or final decree against the Co-Issuers or any Insurer and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in any manner provided by law, whether before or after or during the pendency of any Proceedings for the enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, or of any of the Indenture Trustee’s rights or the rights of any Secured Party under this Indenture or the Indenture Trustee’s rights under any Insurance Policy, and such power of the Indenture Trustee shall not be affected by any sale hereunder or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture or for the foreclosure of the Lien hereof.

(ii) In case of a sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any of the Collateral and of the application of the proceeds of such sale to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts owing hereunder in accordance with Article X and XI (as applicable), the Indenture Trustee in its own name, and as trustee of an express trust, subject to Section 2.14(d) and Section 5.3(g), shall be entitled and empowered, by any appropriate means, legal, equitable or otherwise, to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid to the Secured Parties, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with, as applicable, interest at the rate borne by such Notes or such other rate as applicable thereto under the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the sale of all or any part of the Collateral, amounts on deposit in the Series Principal Payment Account for each Series of Notes may be applied to amounts owing hereunder in accordance with Article X and XI (as applicable), if any, prior to payment of principal in respect of the immediately succeeding Payment Date.

(iii) Except as required by applicable law or the terms of such judgment or final decree, no recovery of any judgment or final decree by the Indenture Trustee and no levy of any execution under any such judgment upon any of the Collateral shall in any manner or to any extent affect the Lien of this Indenture upon any of such Collateral, or any rights, powers or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, but all such Liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.

(iv) The Indenture Trustee in its own name, or as Indenture Trustee of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for Holders of Notes or any Insurer, as the case may be, or in any one or more of such capacities (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand on the Co-Issuers for the payment of overdue principal or interest), shall be entitled and empowered to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee and of any Insurer and the holders of Notes and/or any other Secured Obligation, as applicable (whether such claims be based upon the provisions of such Notes, any Insurance Agreement, any other Secured Obligation or this Indenture), allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or any other judicial or other Proceedings relative to the Co-Issuers or any Insurer, the creditors of either of the Co-

Issuers, any Insurer or the Collateral, and any receiver, assignee, indenture trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial or other Proceeding is hereby authorized to make such payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, any Insurer or any other Secured Party, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel. The Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective holders of the Secured Obligations by taking and holding the Secured Obligations, shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Indenture Trustee) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective Secured Parties with authority to (x) make and file in the respective names of the Secured Parties (subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Secured Parties themselves to the extent permitted hereby) any claim, proof of claim or amendment thereof, debt, proof of debt or amendment thereof, petition or other document in any such Proceeding and to receive payment of amounts distributable on account thereof, (y) execute any such other papers and documents and do and perform any and all such acts and things for and on behalf of such Secured Parties as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the respective claims of the Secured Parties against the Co-Issuers or the Collateral reorganized and enforced, and (z) receive payment of or on account of such claims and debt; provided that nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to give to the Indenture Trustee any right to accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action of any character in any such Proceeding to waive or change in any way any right of any Secured Party.

(vi) In case the Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by suit, foreclosure or otherwise and such Proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then in every such case the Co-Issuers, any Insurer and the Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be restored without further act to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Indenture Trustee shall continue as though no such Proceedings had been taken, except to the extent determined in litigation adversely to the Indenture Trustee.

any other Transaction Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the Collateral. The Collateral having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof; none of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, any Insurer, the Initial Purchaser, the Servicer or any Hedge Counterparty shall be entitled to take any further steps against either of the Co-Issuers to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder, under the Notes, any Insurance Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents described in this paragraph (g), all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished. In particular, the Indenture Trustee agrees, and each Noteholder by its acceptance of a Note and each other Secured Party and the Servicer by their acceptance of the benefits of this Indenture and each Insurer by its execution of a Series Supplement will be deemed to have agreed, not to take any action or institute any proceeding against either of the Co-Issuers under any Insolvency Law applicable to either of the Co-Issuers; provided that each of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, each Insurer, any other Secured Party and the Servicer may become parties to and participate in any Proceeding or action under any Insolvency Law applicable to either of the Co-Issuers that is initiated by any other Person that is not an Affiliate of it.

Section 5.4 Application of Monies Collected by Indenture Trustee. Any monies withdrawn, collected or to be applied by the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Secured Obligation pursuant to this Article V shall be deposited in the Collections Account and, together with any other monies that may then be held by the Indenture Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture as part of the Collateral with respect to the Notes, shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.9 and Article XI.

Section 5.5 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay and Right to Marshaling. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each of the Co-Issuers for itself and for any Person who may claim through or under it hereby:

(a) agrees that neither it nor any such Person will step up, plead, claim or in any manner whatsoever take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, now or hereafter in force in any jurisdiction, which may delay, prevent or otherwise hinder (i) the performance, enforcement or foreclosure of this Indenture, (ii) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) the putting of the purchaser or purchasers thereof into possession of such property immediately after the sale thereof;

(b) waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws;

(c) waives and releases all rights to have the Collateral marshaled upon any foreclosure, sale or other enforcement of this Indenture or of any of the Collateral; and

(d) consents and agrees that, subject to the terms of this Indenture, all the Collateral may at any such sale be sold by the Indenture Trustee as an entirety.

Section 5.6 Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, every remedy given hereunder to the Indenture Trustee, any Insurer or to any of the Noteholders shall not be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every statute, law, equity or otherwise. Subject to

the terms of this Indenture specifically including the rights of any Insurer as Series Controlling Party or Aggregate Controlling Party relating to the Notes or a Series of Notes, respectively (as applicable, so long as such Insurer is the Aggregate Controlling Party relating to the Notes or the Series Controlling Party relating to a Series of Notes), to direct actions of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may exercise all or any of the powers, rights or remedies given to it hereunder or which may be now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise, in its absolute discretion. No course of dealing between the Co-Issuers, any Insurer and the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders or any delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, any Insurer or of the Noteholders to exercise any right, remedy or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or of any right of the Indenture Trustee, any Insurer or of the Noteholders or acquiescence therein, and every right, remedy and power given by this Article V to the Indenture Trustee, any Insurer or to the Noteholders may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee, any such Insurer or by the Noteholders.

Section 5.7 Control of Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (but subject, for the avoidance of any doubt, to the provisions of Section 5.3(f) hereof), the Aggregate Controlling Party shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of, exercising any right or remedy in respect of any enforcement of the Collateral or conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee and to direct the exercise of any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, in all cases insofar as such trust, right remedy or power is to be exercised with respect to such Series of Notes provided that:

(a) such direction shall be in writing and shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Indenture Trustee has received satisfactory indemnity against such liability as set forth below); and

(c) the Indenture Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, it being understood and agreed by the Indenture Trustee that an indemnity by such Insurer (so long as there is no Insurer Event of Default relating to such Insurer) will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee if the form and substance of such indemnity is reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE VI

If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee within two (2) Business Days after such notice from the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Holders and such Insurer.

(b) In case an Event of Default known to a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, except in the case of the receipt of directions with respect to such matter from the Aggregate Controlling Party in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not

reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability does not exceed the amount payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(ii) net of the amounts specified in Section 6.6(a)(i), the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment); and

(v) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable to the Holders for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Series Controlling Party of any Series of Notes or the Aggregate Controlling Party and/or a Holder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

(d) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default (other than any event described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii)) unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any such event is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references, as applicable, the Notes generally, the Co-Issuers, the Collateral or this Indenture.

(i) to pay the fees of the Indenture Trustee on each Payment Date as compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as set forth in the separate letter agreement between the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a Indenture Trustee of an express trust);

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Indenture Trustee (subject to any written agreement between the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee) in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including securities transaction charges to the extent not waived, and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and

If such bank, corporation or trust company publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.7, the combined capital and surplus of such bank, corporation or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

Section 6.8 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee under Section 6.9. The indemnification in favor of a resigning or removed Indenture Trustee in Section 6.6 hereof shall survive any resignation and removal (to the extent of any indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising out of actions or omissions occurring prior to, such resignation or removal).

(b) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Co-Issuers, each Insurer, the Holders and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Co-Issuers, with the consent of the Aggregate Controlling Party, shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or Indenture Trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the each of the Co-Issuers, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee or Indenture Trustees, together with a copy to each Holder, each Insurer and the Servicer. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, at the direction of the Aggregate Controlling Party the resigning Indenture Trustee, or on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) Subject to Section 6.8(a) and 6.8(e), the Indenture Trustee may be removed at any time by the Aggregate Controlling Party by an Aggregate Controlling Party Order to such effect, delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to the Co-Issuers.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.7 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Co-Issuers or by the Aggregate Controlling Party; or

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting; or

(iii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary Proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator or sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs; provided that any such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

then, in any such case (subject to Sections 6.8(a) and 6.8(e)), (A) the Aggregate Controlling Party or the Co-Issuers (with the consent of the Series Controlling Party relating to each Series of Notes for as long as the Series Controlling Party for such Series of Notes is an Insurer) may by the Aggregate Controlling Party Order or Company Order (as applicable) remove the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to resign immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 6.8, or (B) any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) If the Indenture Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers with the consent of the Aggregate Controlling Party, by Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee as provided herein. If the Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee may be appointed by Act of the Aggregate Controlling Party delivered to the Co-Issuers and the retiring Indenture Trustee. The successor Indenture Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Indenture Trustee and supersede any successor Indenture Trustee proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or the Aggregate Controlling Party and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture,

any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Co-Issuers fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

Section 6.9 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Co-Issuers, each Insurer (so long as such Insurer is a Series Controlling Party) and the retiring Indenture Trustee an instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each Insurer for so long as such Insurer is a Series Controlling Party) accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Indenture Trustee; but, on request of the Co-Issuers or the Series Controlling Party of any Series of Notes or the successor Indenture Trustee, such retiring Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument (in form and substance satisfactory to each Insurer for so long as such Insurer is a Series Controlling Party) transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Indenture Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring Indenture Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its Lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.6(b). Upon request of each Insurer (for so long as such Insurer is a Series Controlling Party) or any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Co-Issuers shall execute any and all instruments (in form and substance satisfactory to such Insurer or successor Indenture Trustee) for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no successor Indenture Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI and a Rating Agency Notification has been provided and the Aggregate Controlling Party has consented with respect to such appointment.

Section 6.10 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Indenture Trustee. Any corporation or entity into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case

any of the Notes has been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice to each Insurer that is the Series Controlling Party relating to a Series of Notes and the Co-Issuers of any such merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 6.11 Co-Indenture Trustees and Separate Indenture Trustee. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of each Insurer that is a Series Controlling Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall have power to appoint a Co-Indenture Trustee (a “Co-Indenture Trustee”), jointly with the Indenture Trustee of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.11.

The Co-Issuers shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a Co-Indenture Trustee. If the Co-Issuers do not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Indenture Trustee shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Co-Issuers be required by any Co-Indenture Trustee so appointed, more fully confirming to such Co-Indenture Trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers agree to pay in the case of a Co-Indenture Trustee to the extent that funds are available therefor under Section 11.1(c)(ii), for any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.

Every Co-Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

(a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Indenture Trustee and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities and any Cash or other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee;

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of any property covered by the appointment of a Co-Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee or by the Indenture Trustee and such Co-Indenture Trustee jointly in the case of the appointment of a Co-Indenture Trustee, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such Co-Indenture Trustee;

(c) no Co-Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(d) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act or omission of a Co-Indenture Trustee; and

(e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Co-Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall mail a copy thereof to each Co-Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.12 Fiduciary for Holders Only; Agent for Other Secured Parties. With respect to the security interests created hereunder, the pledge of any item of Collateral to the Indenture Trustee is to the Indenture Trustee for its own benefit, as representative of the Holders of the Notes and as agent for the other Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Indenture Trustee of any item of Collateral are all undertaken by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Holders of the Notes and agent for the other Secured Parties.

Section 6.13 Withholding. If any amount is required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any Holder of Notes, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Holder of Notes and such reduction will not be covered by any Insurer in connection with any withholding. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder of Notes sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate Proceedings and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such Proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Holder of Notes shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Holder of Notes, as applicable, at the time it is deducted or withheld by the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.13. If any Holder of Notes wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Holder of Notes in making such claim so long as such Holder of Notes agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Indenture Trustee to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Co-Issuers or in respect of the Notes.

Section 6.14 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses the Indenture Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Article II, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Indenture Trustee.

Any corporation or entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any documents (except as required by law) or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation or entity. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Co-Issuers. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Co-Issuers. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Co-Issuers.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.6 and Article XI. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

If at any time the Co-Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee and each Insurer (for so long as it is a Series Controlling Party) with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Co-Issuers, and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office and the Co-Issuers hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Such Financing Statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in the Granting Clause of this Indenture or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Indenture Trustee may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property,” “whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising.”

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall not, except for payments, deliveries and distributions otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture, remove any portion of the Collateral that consists of Cash or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing (A) from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date the most recent Opinion of Counsel was delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(b), if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof) or (B) from the possession of the Person who held it on such date.

Section 7.7 Performance of Obligations. (a) Neither of the Co-Issuers shall take any action, and each of the Co-Issuers shall use its reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Collateral.

(b) The Co-Issuers may, with the prior written consent of each Insurer (for so long as such Insurer is a Series Controlling Party) and, where an Insurer is not the Series Controlling Party as to a Series of Notes, if a Rating Agency Notification is provided with respect to such Series (except in the case of the Servicing Agreement as initially executed for

which no consent is required), contract with other Persons, including the Servicer, for the performance of actions and obligations to be performed by either of the Co-Issuers hereunder by such Persons and the performance of the actions and other obligations with respect to the Collateral of the nature set forth in the Servicing Agreement by the Servicer. Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Co-Issuers shall remain primarily liable with respect thereto. In the event of such contract, the performance of such actions and obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such actions and obligations by the Co-Issuers; and each of the Co-Issuers shall punctually perform, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer or such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in the Servicing Agreement or such other agreement.

Section 7.9 No Other Business. The Co-Issuers shall not engage in any business or activity other than issuing and selling the Notes pursuant to this Indenture and any supplements thereto, entering into any Series Hedge Agreements, acting as franchisor of the Restaurants and sub-licensor of the Licensed IP (with respect to the Issuer) or acting as licensor of the IP Assets (with respect to the Co-Issuer), entering into the Transaction Documents and acquiring, owning, holding, enforcing, pledging and disposing of, solely for their own respective accounts, the Collateral in connection with the Notes in accordance with the Transaction Documents, and such other activities which are contemplated under the Transaction Documents or otherwise necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; provided that such business or activity shall relate to the food service industry and, provided, further, that the Issuer shall not engage in any business not conducted under the IHOP Brand or as otherwise identified in Section 7.9.

Section 7.10 Calculation Agent. (a) The Co-Issuers hereby agree that for so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR or any other specified interest rate in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of each Supplemental Indenture relating to any Notes that remain Outstanding (the “Calculation Agent”). The Co-Issuers hereby appoint the Indenture Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR or any other specified interest rate for each Interest Accrual Period and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Co-Issuers at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Co-Issuers, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Dollar deposits in the international Dollar market and which is not an Affiliate of either of the Co-Issuers. The Calculation Agent shall not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.

(c) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Calculation Agent, does hereby agree) that, as soon as practicable after

11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Rate Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Rate Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Series Interest Rate relating to each Series of Notes for the next Interest Accrual Period and the Series Interest Payment Amount relating to each Series of Notes, each as applicable (in each case rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Payment Date, and shall communicate such rates and amounts to the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, each Paying Agent and, if any Series of Notes is in the form of a Regulation S Global Note, DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Co-Issuers and to each Insurer (for so long as it is a Series Controlling Party) the quotations upon which each Series Interest Rate, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Co-Issuers before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Rate Determination Date if it has not determined the Series Interest Rate, the Series Interest Payment Amount, together with its reasons therefor. The determination of the Series Interest Rate and the Series Interest Payment Amount, as applicable, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Section 7.11 Indebtedness. Neither of the Co-Issuers shall incur, nor cause nor permit any of the Securitization Entities to incur or have outstanding any Debt, or assume or guarantee any Debt (excluding incurring or having outstanding any indebtedness arising from any tax liabilities) of any Person other than pursuant to this Indenture, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.

(q) none of the Securitization Entities has (i) employees, (ii) outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money other than with respect to the Credit Agreements, as applicable, such other indebtedness as is described in the Offering Circular and (to the extent that this representation is deemed made after the Closing Date) the Notes, and (iii) material liabilities of any kind other than as described in or contemplated by the Offering Circular;

(r) both before and immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, each Securitization Entity is solvent within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code and any applicable state law and no such entity is the subject of any voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and no Event of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to any such entity;

(v) after giving effect to the Restructuring, the Co-Issuer and the Issuer, through ownership of the IP Assets or license to use the Licensed IP, respectively, will own and/or have the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Restaurant franchise system substantially in the manner as currently conducted.

(w) no events have occurred, and no actions have been taken, at any time prior to the Closing Date that could give rise to any claim or liability of any kind against any of the Securitization Entities or its assets which, if determined adversely, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) since the formation of the predecessor to any of the Securitization Entities, such predecessor or Securitization Entity (as applicable) has not engaged in any activities that would have rendered untrue any representation or warranty, or would have violated any covenant or agreement, relating to the separate existence of such predecessor or Securitization Entity (as applicable), set forth in this Indenture, including without limitation Section 7.13(p), had this Indenture been in full force and effect since the formation of the predecessor to any of the Securitization Entities;

(y) true, accurate and complete copies of all documents and information that are material with respect to the business, financial condition or any existing or potential liabilities of any of the Securitization Entities, any predecessor to any of the Securitization Entities or any of their respective Affiliates have been provided to each Insurer;

(z) the Co-Issuers are not aware of any facts pertaining to any of the Securitization Entities, any predecessor to any of the Securitization Entities or any of their respective Affiliates which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on any of the Securitization Entities, the Notes or the Collateral and which have not been disclosed in the Offering Circular, the Transaction Documents or otherwise disclosed in writing to each Insurer;

(aa) each Insurer has received all information reasonably requested;

(bb) neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the six year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Plan (including, to the actual knowledge of the Co-Issuers, a Multiemployer Plan or a multiemployer welfare plan maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) has complied in all respects with the

applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the constituent documents of such Plan, except for instances of non-compliance that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect except as could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to occur (other than a termination described in Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to arise. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Except to the extent that such liability could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Co-Issuers nor any Affiliate thereof have had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and the Co-Issuers would not become subject to any liability under ERISA if a Co-Issuer or any Affiliate thereof were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the Actual Knowledge of the Co-Issuers, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization, insolvent or terminating or is reasonably expected to be in Reorganization, become insolvent or be terminated. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Co-Issuers and each Affiliate thereof for post retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) other than such liability disclosed in the financial statements of the Co-Issuers does not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits. Neither the Co-Issuers nor any Affiliate thereof has engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code in connection with any Plan that would subject either Co-Issuer to liability under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no other circumstance which may give rise to a liability in relation to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(cc) each of the Securitization Entities has good and marketable title in its assets, free of any Lien except Permitted Liens or as created by any Transaction Document;

The Notes of any Series of Notes shall be subject to mandatory redemption on any Payment Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) (i) if, as of the immediately preceding Accounting Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Determination Date”), the Series Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such Series of Notes is less than the applicable Series Minimum Debt Service Ratio (a “Series DSCR Mandatory Redemption Event”) or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, and until (a) the relevant Series of Notes and all other amounts owing in connection therewith are paid in full, (b) in the case of a Series DSCR Mandatory Redemption Event, such Mandatory Redemption Event is cured as provided below, or (c) in the case of a Servicer Termination Event, as to any Series of Notes, the Series Controlling Party thereof has consented to the cessation of such Mandatory Redemption Event upon the Aggregate Controlling Party’s consent to the cessation of such Servicer Termination Event (such period, the “Mandatory Redemption Period”), the Indenture Trustee shall apply on the immediately following Payment Date and all future Payment Dates all amounts allocated to the Series Principal Payment Account pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof since the immediately preceding Payment Date and all amounts on deposit in Series Trigger Reserve Account for such Series of Notes to the redemption of Outstanding Notes (without payment of any make-whole amount) (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”). However, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, a Series DSCR Mandatory Redemption Event shall be cured and the Mandatory Redemption Period for the applicable Series of Notes will cease if the Series Debt Service Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to the applicable Series Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio for any three consecutive Accounting Dates following the Mandatory Redemption Date; provided that a Series DSCR Mandatory Redemption Event may be so cured only once with respect to any particular Series of Notes.

Section 9.2 Optional Redemption by Co-Issuers; Conditions Precedent to Optional Redemption; Election to Redeem. (a) Except as otherwise provided in the Series Supplement, the Series Notes of any Series of Notes shall be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the option of the Co-Issuers on any Payment Date at the Optional Redemption Amount; provided, however, that any partial redemption of any Series of Notes that would result in the Insurer for such Series, if any, ceasing to be the Aggregate Controlling Party shall occur only upon the existence of a valid business purpose, which shall be set forth in reasonable detail in an officer’s certificate of the Co-Issuers to be delivered to such Insurer, unless such Insurer shall have otherwise consented in writing. It is a further condition precedent to the Co-Issuers’ exercise of an Optional Redemption that the Co-Issuers have on deposit in the Series Principal Payment Accounts relating to the relevant Series of Notes, on the Accounting Date immediately preceding the scheduled redemption date, in the aggregate, an amount not less than the Optional Redemption Amount.

(b) Installments of interest and principal due on or prior to a Mandatory Redemption Date or an Optional Redemption Date shall continue to be payable to the Holders of such Notes according to their terms. The election of the Co-Issuers to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be evidenced by a Company Order from the Servicer directing the Indenture Trustee to make payment of the Optional Redemption Amount from funds in the Principal Payment Account relating to each relevant Series of Notes with respect to which Notes shall be redeemed. The Notes shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis, in order of priority among each affected Series of Notes and within such Series of Notes ratably, based on the portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series of Notes in which each Noteholder has an interest. The Co-Issuers shall fix the Optional Redemption Date and give notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof.

(c) Funds contributed to the Co-Issuers may be used for the purpose of effecting an Optional Redemption hereunder in accordance with this ARTICLE IX. Outside funds contributed to the Issuer to effect an Optional Redemption (the “Contributed Optional Redemption Amount Funds”) shall be directly deposited to the Principal Payment Account of the relevant Series of Notes for application to the Optional Redemption Amount in connection with an Optional Redemption of such Series. Contributed Optional Redemption Amount Funds shall be used only for the purpose of redeeming Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption and not for any other purpose. Any Contributed Optional Redemption Amount Funds shall not constitute Collections or Adjusted Collections for any purpose, and shall be disregarded for purposes of all tests and measurements in the Transaction Documents except in determining whether there is a sufficient amount of funds on deposit in the relevant account to meet or exceed the Optional Redemption Amount.

Section 9.3 Notice to Indenture Trustee and Affected Insurers of Optional Redemption. In the event of any Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 9.2, the Co-Issuers shall, at least 30 days prior to the proposed Optional Redemption Date but no more than 60 days prior to such date (unless the Indenture Trustee shall agree to a shorter notice period), notify the Indenture Trustee, each Insurer relating to the Series Notes proposed to be redeemed and the Servicer in writing of such Optional Redemption Date, the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount to be redeemed on such Optional Redemption Date and the Optional Redemption

Amount of such Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount and as further specified in Section 9.4 hereof and in accordance with Section 15.3 hereof.

Section 9.4 Notice of Optional Redemption or Maturity by the Co-Issuers. (a) Upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 9.3, notice of such redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating Agencies and the relevant Noteholders not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Optional Redemption Date.

(b) All notices of Optional Redemption shall state:

(1) the CUSIP number, Common Code or ISIN, as applicable, of the Notes to be redeemed and that the Notes shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis, based on the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount;

(2) the Optional Redemption Date;

(3) the Optional Redemption Amount;

(4) in the case of an Optional Redemption in whole, that all the Notes are being paid in full and that interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on the date specified in the notice, or, in the case of a redemption in part, the amount of principal of each Note that will be repaid and that interest on such amount of principal shall cease to accrue on the date specified in the notice;

(5) in the case of an Optional Redemption in whole, the place or places where such Notes to be redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Amount which shall be the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2; and

(6) that the Optional Redemption is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in this Indenture.

(c) The Co-Issuers shall have the option to withdraw the notice of Optional Redemption up to the fifth Business Day prior to the scheduled Optional Redemption Date by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, each Insurer relating to the Series Notes proposed for redemption and the Servicer.

(d) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Co-Issuers or, at the Co-Issuers’ request, by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Section 9.5 Notes Payable on Optional Redemption Date. (a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall, on the Optional Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Optional Redemption Amount therein specified, and from and after the Optional Redemption Date (unless

the Co-Issuers shall default in the payment of the Optional Redemption Amount and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed in full, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Optional Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers, each Insurer relating to a Series of Notes pertaining to which Notes will be redeemed, if any, and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, each Insurer relating to a Series of Notes pertaining to which Notes will be redeemed or the Indenture Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Notes so to be redeemed shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, according to the terms and provisions of Section 7.1 hereof.

(b) If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Optional Redemption Date at the Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Note remains Outstanding.

(c) Upon the partial redemption of any Notes and the surrender thereof, the Co-Issuers shall to the extent necessary issue, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, new Notes equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes not so redeemed.

Section 15.1 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 of an Authorized Officer of either of the Co-Issuers or an Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer or such Person giving such Opinion of Counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or Opinion of Counsel is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of either of the Co-Issuers (as applicable) or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, either of the Co-Issuers (as applicable), the Servicer or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Servicer or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of either of the Co-Issuers (as applicable) or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Indenture Trustee at the request or direction of the Co-Issuers, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Co-Issuers’ rights to make such request or direction, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such

113

request or direction if a Trust Officer does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(d).

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Note Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

Notwithstanding clause (a) above, a Holder of Notes may give the Indenture Trustee a written notice that it is requesting that notices to it be given by facsimile transmissions and stating the telecopy number for such transmission. Thereafter, the Indenture Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by facsimile transmission; provided that if such notice also requests

Waivers of notice by Holders 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 waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the 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 Holders 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.

Section 15.6 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the each of the Co-Issuers shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

116

Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Noteholder or Secured Party or the Indenture Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.
