NOTE FORM

Section 2.01 Form Generally. The Notes and the related certificates of authentication shall be in substantially the form described in this Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are expressly required or permitted by this Indenture. The Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may, consistently herewith, be determined appropriate by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. The terms of each Note are intended to be incorporated into this Indenture.

Section 2.02 Multiple Classes of Notes; Form for Each Class; Rights of Each Class. This Indenture provides for the issuance by the Issuer of six classes of Notes, namely, the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class E-1 Notes and the Class E-2 Notes. Each Note shall bear upon its face the designation of the Class to which it belongs. Each Class A Note shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Each Class B Note shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Class C Note shall be in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Each Class D Note shall be in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. Each Class E-1 Note shall be in the form of Exhibit E-1 attached hereto. Each Class E-2 Note shall be in the form of Exhibit E-2 attached hereto. All Notes in the same Class shall be in substantially identical form, except for differences in registration information and denomination and such other variations as may be permitted by this Indenture.

The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E-1 Notes are being offered and sold by the Issuer to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Class E-2 Notes are being offered and sold by the Issuer to LEAF Commercial Capital or one of its Affiliates pursuant to the Class E-2 Note Purchase Agreement.

(a) Global Notes The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E-1 Notes shall be issued initially in the form of Rule 144A Global Notes, which shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Security Depository or pursuant to the Security Depository’s instructions, and registered in the name of the Security Depository or a nominee of the Security Depository, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Outstanding Note Balance of the Rule 144A Global Notes may from time to time be increased (up to the maximum authorized amount) or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Security Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error or omission by the Security Depository in making such record adjustments, and the records of the Trustee shall be controlling with regard to the Outstanding Note Balance of Rule 144A Global Notes hereunder absent manifest error.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the

- 3 -

Trustee, or by the Note Registrar at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof.

Except as set forth in Section 2.07 hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Security Depository or to a successor of the Security Depository or its nominee.

(b) Book-Entry Provisions.

This Section 2.02(b) shall apply only to the Rule 144A Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Security Depository.

The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.02(b), authenticate and deliver one Global Note for each Class of Notes which shall be (i) registered in the name of the Security Depository or the nominee of the Security Depository and (ii) delivered by the Trustee to the Security Depository or pursuant to the Security Depository’s instructions.

Members of, or participants in, the Security Depository shall have no rights either under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Security Depository or by the Trustee as custodian for the Security Depository or under such Global Notes, and the Security Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Security Depository or impair, as between the Security Depository and its agent members, the operation of customary practices of such Security Depository governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Notes.

The Note Registrar and the Trustee shall treat the Security Depository for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes that are Global Notes, and shall have no obligation to the related Note Owners.

The rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Security Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Security Depository and/or the agent members. The initial Security Depository will make book-entry transfers among the agent members and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such agent members with respect to such Global Notes.

Whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding amount of the Notes, the Security Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it (i) has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or agent members owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and (ii) has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

(c) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.05, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated

- 4 -

definitive, fully registered Notes (any such Notes, the “Definitive Notes”). The Definitive Notes, which shall include the Class E-2 Notes on the Closing Date, shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods, all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(d) Each Note issued under this Indenture shall be in all respects equally and ratably secured with each other Note by the Collateral Granted by the Issuer hereunder. Each Note shall be entitled to the benefits hereof, without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all cash amounts shall be applied by the Trustee in accordance with Section 13.03(c) or Section 13.03(d), as applicable, and the other express provisions hereof.

Section 2.03 Denomination. The maximum Outstanding Note Balance of the Class A Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $118,351,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), the maximum Outstanding Note Balance of the Class B Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $10,631,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), the maximum Outstanding Note Balance of Class C Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $7,417,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), the maximum Outstanding Note Balance of the Class D Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $7,417,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), the maximum Outstanding Note Balance amount of the Class E-1 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $6,184,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), and the maximum Outstanding Note Balance of the Class E-2 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $4,945,000 (unless that maximum is increased pursuant to the Optional Commitment Increase), except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.07 or 10.05. The Notes shall be issuable only as registered Notes without coupons in the denominations of at least $100,000 with respect to any Note and multiples of $1,000 for any amount in excess thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the transfer, in accordance with Sections 2.06 and 2.07, of any “stub” Note with a remaining Outstanding Note Balance of less than $100,000 with respect to any Note.

Section 2.04 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time authorized officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices subsequent to the authentication or delivery of such Notes.

Each Note shall be dated as of the date of its authentication. 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 Trustee upon receipt of an Issuer Order or by any Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive

- 5 -

evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.05 Issuance of Definitive Notes.

If Book-Entry Notes have been issued with respect to any Class and (a) the Issuer advises the Trustee that the Security Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to such Class and the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Issuer at its option elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC, or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Noteholders of not less than 50% of the Outstanding Note Balance of Notes of any Class advise the Trustee and DTC that it is no longer in the best interests of such Class to have the Notes of such Class in book-entry form, then upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Notes by the Security Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Security Depository for registration of Definitive Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Note Registrar shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the applicable Noteholders. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

Section 2.06 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange of the Notes.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a note register (the “Note Register”) at the office of an agent (the “Note Registrar”), in accordance with Section 7.13, and in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall, on behalf of the Issuer, provide for the registration, issuance and ownership of the Notes and the registration of transfers of the Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed the initial Note Registrar. Each Noteholder and, if the Note Registrar is someone other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right to examine the Note Register at all reasonable times and to rely conclusively upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Note Registrar as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the Outstanding Note Balances and numbers of such Notes as held.

(b) The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction. Consequently, the Notes are not transferable other than pursuant to Rule 144A. Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Note shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.06.

(c) With respect to any Definitive Note, at the option of the Noteholder thereof, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations (together with any “stub note” reflecting the remaining principal balance of such Note(s) that is less than the minimum authorized denomination), Outstanding Note Balance and Stated Maturity Date, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or its agents shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

- 6 -

(d) With respect to any Definitive Note, any Definitive 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 Trustee duly executed. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be charged to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

(i) Limitation on Transfer and Exchange. (1) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Security Depository, in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Security Depository therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred to persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the legend in subsection (d)(xii) of Section 2.07.

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Security Depository to a nominee of the Security Depository or by a nominee of the Security Depository to the Security Depository or another nominee of the Security Depository or by the Security Depository or any such nominee to a successor Security Depository or a nominee of such successor Security Depository.

(e) Transfer and Exchange from Definitive Notes to Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented by a Holder to the Note Registrar with a request:

(i) to register the transfer of Definitive Notes in the form of other Definitive Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal Outstanding Note Balance of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Note Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange:

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) no Sale of any Note of any Class may be made during the Revolving Period other than (x) in connection with a repurchase transaction, or (y) a Sale that is (i) made in the ordinary course of business, (ii) to a QIB with not less than $100,000,000 in assets under management, and (iii) pursuant to a Transfer Supplement, executed by the transferor Noteholder and transferee and delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) the transferor Noteholder shall deliver to the Rating Agency not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of any proposed Sale of any Note of any Class.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer, or the Trustee and the Issuer receive evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) in the case of a destroyed, lost, or stolen Note, there is delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note has been acquired by a bona-fide purchaser and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are satisfied, the Issuer shall execute and, upon a written request therefor by the Trustee and the Issuer shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Class, tenor and Outstanding Note Balance, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If, after the delivery of such new Note, a bona-fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such new Note, as applicable, was issued presents such original Note for payment, the Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such new Note, as applicable, from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking title there from, except a bona-fide purchaser, and the Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Trustee and the Issuer, in connection therewith. If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have become or shall be about to become due and payable in full, or shall have been called for redemption in full, instead of issuing a new Note, as applicable, the Issuer may pay such Note without surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer or the Note Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that

- 12 -

may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Subject to the above provisions of this Section 2.07, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07, in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.08 Payment of Principal and Interest; Rights Preserved.

(a) For each applicable Interest Accrual Period, the Notes of each Class shall accrue interest on the Outstanding Note Balance thereof at the Note Rate applicable to such Class; provided, however, that with respect to each Class of Notes and on each Payment Date, interest shall be deemed not to have accrued during the previous Interest Accrual Period on an amount equal to the Impairment of such Class of Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on any subsequent Payment Date and with respect to each Class of Notes, no Impairment is allocated to such Class of Notes, all Deferred Interest for such Class of Notes shall be deemed to have accrued during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period and be payable on such Payment Date as Note Current Interest. All interest and fees accrued hereunder on the Notes of each Class shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Accrual Period and a three-hundred-sixty (360)-day year, except for interest on the Class E-2 Notes, which shall be calculated on the basis of a three-hundred-sixty (360)-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Furthermore, all interest accrued hereunder on the Notes of each Class shall accrue through the day preceding the Stated Maturity Date and, to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable (except with respect to Deferred Interest), on any overdue payment of interest at the Note Rate from the date such interest becomes due and payable (giving effect to any applicable grace periods herein) until fully paid. All accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date and shall be paid by the Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 13.03. In making any interest payment, if the interest calculation with respect to a Note shall result in a portion of such payment being less than $0.01, then such payment shall be decreased to the nearest whole cent, and no subsequent adjustment shall be made in respect thereof.

(b) The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Payment Date beginning on the first Payment Date after the end of the Revolving Period, unless such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by (i) call for redemption or pursuant to a Takeout Transaction in accordance with Article XI or (ii) reason of a Discounted Pool Balance Deficiency in accordance with Section 13.03(c)(xii). The installment of principal due on the Class A Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(d)(xiv). The installment of principal due on the Class B Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section

- 13 -

13.03(d)(xv). The installment of principal due on the Class C Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(d)(xvi). The installment of principal due on the Class D Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(d)(xvii). The installment of principal due on the Class E-1 Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(d)(xviii). The installment of principal due on the Class E-2 Notes on any such Payment Date shall, to the extent of Available Funds in accordance with Section 13.03 on such Payment Date, be paid as set forth in Section 13.03(d)(xix). The Outstanding Note Balance of any Note (together with interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable hereunder or in respect of the Notes) shall be due and payable in full on the Stated Maturity Date for such Note. All reductions in the Outstanding Note Balance of a Note effected by payment of such installments of principal shall be binding upon all future Noteholders 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. Principal shall be payable to Noteholders in the same Class on a pro rata basis based upon the relative Outstanding Note Balance of the Notes in such Class as of the related date of determination; provided that, if as a result of such proration a portion of such principal would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be decreased to the nearest whole cent, and such portion shall be applied to the next succeeding principal payment.

(c) The principal of and interest on the Notes, and other amounts payable to the Noteholders under Section 13.03, are payable, through the Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer, by check mailed by first-class mail to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of such Note on the Note Register at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register or, at the option of any Noteholder, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing to the Trustee by such Registered Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date on which wire transfers will commence, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. All payments on the Notes shall be paid without any requirement of presentment. The Issuer shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed no later than the tenth (10th) day prior to such Payment Date and shall specify the place where such Note may be surrendered. Funds representing any such checks returned undeliverable shall be held in accordance with Section 7.15. Each Noteholder shall promptly surrender its Note to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or in the case of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, as provided in Section 2.07, upon payment of the final installment of principal of such Note.

Section 2.09 Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of the foregoing shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered in the Note Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

- 14 -

Section 2.10 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered to the Trustee for payment, registration of transfer or exchange (including Notes surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee which shall be delivered to the Trustee) shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes, as applicable, canceled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard practice.

Section 2.11 Tax Treatment; Withholding Taxes.

(a) The Issuer has structured the transaction contemplated by this Indenture and the Notes with the intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, each Noteholder and each beneficial owner of a Note by acceptance of its Note or a beneficial interest therein, each agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for all tax purposes and further agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment, unless and to the extent otherwise required by any taxing authority under applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, effective from the date of commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated by such documents, all parties hereto and the Noteholders may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. Federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the Notes and the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind, including tax opinions or other tax analyses, if any, that are provided to such Persons regarding such tax treatment.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary or the other Transaction Documents, the Trustee, as Paying Agent for and on behalf of, and at the direction of the Servicer, shall comply with any and all federal withholding requirements under applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant taxing authority then in effect. If any withholding tax is imposed on any payment by the Issuer (or allocation of income) under the Notes, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise payable to such Noteholder. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the related Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. Failure of a Noteholder or a beneficial owner of a Note to provide the Trustee or other paying agent with appropriate tax certificates may result in amounts being withheld from the payment to such Noteholder or beneficial owner. In no event shall the consent of Noteholders be required for any withholding.

Section 2.12 Notices to Security Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders of any Class with respect to which Book-Entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the related Noteholders, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the applicable Security Depository.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal and interest on such Note on the dates on which such principal and interest becomes due and payable and to institute any Proceeding for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.

Section 6.11 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then, and in every case, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally

- 30 -

and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.12 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.13 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 6.14 Control by Control Party. The Control Party shall have the right to direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

(b) if the Trustee has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of any funds expended or risked by it is not assured to it without an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability, such indemnity shall have been provided.

(i) an Event of Default in the payment of interest on any Note when due or of the Outstanding Note Balance not paid at the Stated Maturity Date;

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which by its terms cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Noteholder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; or

(iii) in the circumstances provided in Section 6.02 hereof.

Upon any such waiver, such Event of Servicing Termination, Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured for every

- 31 -

purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Servicing Termination, Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.16 Additional Rights of Subordinate Noteholders.

The Trustee agrees that it shall give to the Holders of the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class E-1 Notes, and the Class E-2 Notes written notice of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section 6.16 promptly upon its receiving notice of such event or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having actual knowledge thereof (such date of notice, the “Default Notice Date”).

If no Holder of the Class B Notes exercises its rights to purchase the Class A Notes within ten (10) Business Days of the Default Notice Date, then, without prejudice to any other rights of the Holders of the Class C Notes under the Transaction Documents, any one or more Holders of the Class C Notes shall then have the sole right to deliver the Class A Buyout Notice, which notice shall be sent to the Trustee electing to purchase (without recourse, warranty or representation (other than that the Holders of such Class A Notes own such Class A Notes free and clear of any Liens created or granted by the Holder of such Class A Notes)) the entire (but not less than the entire) aggregate amount of Outstanding Class A Notes (and all associated rights, titles, claims and privileges associated therewith) for the Class A Buyout Price.

Section 6.17 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not, at any time, insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 6.18 Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.04 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral securing the Notes shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not, in any private Sale, sell to one or more third parties, or otherwise liquidate, all or any portion of the Collateral, unless:

- 33 -

(i) the Control Party consents to such Sale or liquidation; or

(ii) the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation available to be distributed to the Noteholders are sufficient to pay in full all amounts then due with respect to the Notes and, without duplication, all amounts owed to the Servicer, Originator, Trustee, Custodian, and Back-up Servicer.

(c) Any Noteholder may bid for and acquire any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. After the Trustee has received each offer to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral, the Trustee shall notify each Class B Noteholder, Class C Noteholder, Class D Noteholder, Class E-1 Noteholder and Class E-2 Noteholder of the highest offer (the date of such notification, the “Collateral Purchase Notice Date”) and any one or more Class B Noteholders will initially have the sole right to purchase (not later than five Business Days after delivery of written notice to the Trustee of exercise of each right to purchase) the Collateral at the highest price there offered. If no Holder of the Class B Notes exercises its rights to purchase the Collateral within ten (10) Business Days of the Collateral Purchase Notice Date, the Trustee shall notify each Class C Noteholder of the highest offer and any one or more Class C Noteholders will then have the sole right to purchase (not later than five Business Days after delivery of written notice to the Trustee of exercise of each right to purchase) the Collateral at the highest price there offered. If no Holder of the Class C Notes exercises its rights to purchase the Collateral within ten (10) Business Days of the Collateral Purchase Notice Date, the Trustee shall notify each Class D Noteholder of the highest offer and any one or more Class D Noteholders will then have the sole right to purchase (not later than five Business Days after delivery of written notice to the Trustee of exercise of each right to purchase) the Collateral at the highest price there offered.

If a Noteholder submits the highest bid, in lieu of paying cash therefor, such bidder may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price that portion of the net proceeds of such Sale to which such bidder would be entitled, after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Noteholder in connection with such Sale. The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against the Notes. The Noteholders may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law.

(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance provided to it by the Servicer transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name, from time to time, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default for the purpose of exercising the rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder and, to take any and all action and to

- 34 -

execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the foregoing, including without limitation, to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale.

(e) The method, manner, time, place and terms of any Sale of all or any portion of the Collateral shall be commercially reasonable. The Trustee shall incur no liability for any Sale conducted in accordance with this Section.

Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, whose acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and may prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer within thirty (30) days of notice of removal or resignation and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, then the Control Party may appoint a successor Trustee. No removal or resignation of the Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Trustee that is eligible to act as Trustee under Section 7.08.

(e) The Issuer shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 14.03 of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment and acceptance of appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee or the Control Party, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article.

- 42 -

successor shall at all times be required to be eligible under Section 7.08), without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 7.12 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees.

(a) At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and meeting the eligibility standards for the Trustee specified in Section 7.08, either to act as Co-Trustee, jointly with the Trustee of all or any part of such Collateral, or to act as separate Trustee of any such property (a “Co-Trustee”), in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or, in case an Event of Default exists, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

(b) Should any written instrument from the Issuer be reasonably required by any Co-Trustee or separate Trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such Co-Trustee or separate Trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.

(c) Every Co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

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

(ii) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such Co-Trustee or separate Trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such Co-Trustee or separate Trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such Co-Trustee or separate Trustee at the direction or with the consent of the Trustee;

- 43 -

(iii) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer, may accept the resignation of or remove any Co-Trustee or separate Trustee, appointed under this Section, and, in case an Event of Default exists, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such Co-Trustee or separate Trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any Co-Trustee or separate Trustee that has so resigned or been removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

(iv) no Co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee or any other such Trustee hereunder nor shall the Trustee be liable by reason of any act or omission of any Co-Trustee or separate Trustee selected by the Trustee with due care or appointed in accordance with directions to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14 provided, that the appointment of any Co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its express duties and obligations under this Indenture; and

(v) any Act of Noteholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such Co-Trustee and separate Trustee.

Section 7.13 Maintenance of Office or Agency; Initial Appointment of Payment Agent. The Note Registrar will maintain an office within the State of New York or the State of Minnesota where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demand to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the Paying Agent and its Corporate Trust Office as the office for each of said purposes.

Section 7.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may at its expense appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or pursuant to Section 2.07, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee certificate of authentication or the delivery of Notes to the Trustee for authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and delivery of the Notes to the Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall at all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of not less than the equivalent of $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority or the equivalent foreign authority, in the case of an Authenticating Agent who is not organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at

- 44 -

least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent 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 an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Noteholders and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Control Party, and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Noteholders, if any, with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Notes described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 7.15 Appointment of Paying Agent other than Trustee; Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.

If, at the request of the Trustee, a party other than the Trustee is ever appointed as a Paying Agent, the Issuer will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that, subject to the provisions of this Section, such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal or interest on Notes in trust in an Eligible Account in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer at the Corporate Trust Office, which account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Secured Parties, until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in Section 13.03;

(b) give the Trustee and the Noteholders notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal or interest; and

(c) at any time, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to Section 11.04, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, and the Noteholder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, and subject to any applicable statute of limitations, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money or the related Note, shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may (upon delivery of an Issuer Order), cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, 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 Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to the Noteholders whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent, at the last address as shown on the Note Register for each such Noteholder). No additional interest shall accrue on the related Note subsequent to the date on which such funds were available for distribution to such Noteholder.

Section 8.01 Appointment of Custodian. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Custodian, and the Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as Custodian on behalf of the Secured Parties to maintain exclusive custody of the Contract Files in order to perfect the ownership interest of the Issuer in the Contracts and the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Contracts and the other items in the Contract Files and any and all proceeds of the foregoing; provided that from and after the release or discharge of the Secured Parties’ lien in and to the Contracts and the other items in the Contract Files and any and all proceeds of the foregoing, the Custodian shall serve as exclusive agent and custodian of the Issuer with respect to the Contract Files.

Having given notice of such removal, the Issuer (prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default) or the Control Party (following the occurrence of an Event of Default) shall, by written instrument and with the consent of the Control Party (if the notice of removal came from the Issuer), promptly appoint a successor custodian to act on behalf of the Issuer in replacement of the Custodian under this Indenture, which successor Custodian shall be satisfactory to the Control Party in its sole discretion. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall promptly transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all affected Contracts and related Contract Files. In the event of removal of the Custodian for cause and the appointment of a successor custodian under this Indenture, the expenses of transferring the Contracts and related Contract Files to the successor custodian shall be at the expense of the Custodian.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Indenture shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any Contracts and related Contract Files for which this Indenture is not terminated hereunder. The Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor hereunder if no successor is appointed within such 60-day notice period.

Section 8.03 Termination by Custodian. The Custodian may terminate its obligations under this Indenture upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to the Servicer, the Issuer and the Noteholders; provided that no termination shall be effective until appointment of a successor

The payment of such successor custodian’s fees and expenses with respect to each Contract and related Contract Files shall be solely the responsibility of the Issuer. Upon such appointment, the Custodian shall promptly transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all Contracts and related Contract Files being held under this Indenture. The Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor hereunder if no successor is appointed within such sixty (60) day notice period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Custodian shall be deemed to have notice of the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, definitions not otherwise set forth in full in this Indenture) of documents executed or delivered in connection with, or intended to control any part of, the transactions anticipated by or referred to in this Indenture, to the extent such terms and provisions are referenced, or are incorporated by reference, into this Indenture only as long as the Custodian shall have been provided a copy of any such document or Indenture. Each of the Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and the Custodian acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party on the Closing Date.

(e) The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set forth in this Indenture or as set forth in a written amendment to this Indenture executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Indenture implies or requires that action or forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that the Custodian shall not be the

- 49 -

party required to take the action or refrain from acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein.

(f) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Contract and related Contract Files is or may be held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the Custodian or its property or business or on the ability of the Custodian, the Issuer or the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

(g) The Custodian may consult with counsel selected by it with due care and familiar with such matters and the written advice or opinion of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Custodian and addressed to the Custodian) shall be full and complete authorization and protection and the Custodian shall not be liable in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(h) The Custodian may, at any time during the administration of this Indenture, request and receive a written direction from the Control Party in connection with actions to be taken under this Indenture and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith reliance thereon;

(i) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Custodian 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 and powers, if, in its reasonable judgment, it shall believe that repayment of such funds is not reasonably assured to it without an indemnity against such risk or liability.

(j) The Custodian shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not each amount or payment has been received by the Trustee or any third person.

Section 8.05 Limitation on Liability. Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Indenture, except for its or their own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 8.06 Custodian Obligations Regarding Genuineness of Documents. In the absence of bad faith or negligence on the part of the Custodian, the Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon

- 50 -

any request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that the provisions of this Section shall not in any manner limit or reduce the responsibilities of the Custodian under this Indenture.

If a Noteholder is the Winning Bidder, in lieu of paying cash therefor, such bidder may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price that portion of the net proceeds of such Auction to which such Winning Bidder would be entitled, after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Noteholder in connection with such Auction and the closing of the purchase of the Collateral. If no qualifying bid is received before the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, or if the Winning Bidder shall fail to close the purchase of the Collateral as aforesaid, then no Auction sale shall occur.

(b) In connection with any Takeout Transaction or Optional Partial Redemption, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer satisfactory to the Trustee certifying that (1) the amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 11.07(a) and Section 11.05 have been deposited and (2) the other requirements of Section 11.07(a) have been satisfied, the Trustee shall promptly release its Lien in the Contract Assets as provided in Section 11.05.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any application of any proceeds of a Takeout Transaction (which shall include any securitization of the Collateral outside of the facility described in this Indenture or other sale of all or substantially all of the Contract Assets) undertaken pursuant to this Section 11.07 (but shall exclude any sale pursuant to any foreclosure of the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.04) shall require the consent of the Control Party if applied to reduce the Outstanding Note Balance of the Notes other than on a pro rata basis.

Section 12.01 Representations and Warranties.

The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties for the benefit of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Secured Parties on which the Trustee relies in accepting the Collateral in trust and in authenticating the Notes. Except as specifically provided otherwise, such representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date and each Acquisition Date and shall survive the transfer, grant and assignment of the Collateral to the Trustee.

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Issuer is a Delaware limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Issuer is in good standing under the law of the State of Delaware and each other State where the nature of its activities requires it to “qualify to do business”, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify would not individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(b) Authorization. The Issuer has the power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform under the Transaction Documents and the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by the Issuer by all necessary limited liability company action.

(c) Binding Obligation. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the parties thereto other than the Issuer, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, moratorium or other similar laws (whether statutory, regulatory or decisional) now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, whether a proceeding at law or in equity.

(d) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the fulfillment of the terms of the Transaction Documents will not: (i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under the organizational documents of the Issuer, any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other such instrument, other than any Lien created or imposed pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, or (iii) violate any law or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, any material order, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties.

- 65 -

(e) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations to which the Issuer, or any of the Issuer’s Affiliates, is a party pending, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (A) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents or any Receivable or any Contract, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of any of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would adversely affect the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or any Receivable or any Contract.

(f) Approvals. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions of any Person, or of any court, governmental agency or body or official, required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and with the valid and proper authorization, issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture (except that no such representation is made with respect to any necessary approvals of State securities officials under the Blue Sky Laws), have been or will be taken or obtained on or prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Principal Office. The Issuer’s principal place of business and chief executive office is located at 000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

(h) Transfer and Assignment. Upon the delivery by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Trustee of the Contracts and the filing of the financing statements described in Sections 4.01(a)(v) and 4.02(b), the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Issuer’s interest in the Contracts and Receivables and the proceeds thereof and that portion of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by possession or the filing of a financing statement, in each case, under the UCC, limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that none of the Servicer, the Originator and the Issuer shall be required to file or record assignments of any UCC-1 financing statements or other lien recordings made against an Obligor. All filings (including UCC filings) as are necessary in any jurisdiction to perfect the security interest of the Trustee in the Collateral, including the transfer of the Contracts and any other payments to become due thereunder, have been made.

(j) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Contract Assets by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture are not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(k) The Contract Assets. The rights of the Issuer with respect to the representations and warranties that are made by the Originator in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement and each Assignment Agreement as of each Acquisition Date have been assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, and the Issuer is not aware of any inaccuracy in any such representations and warranties except for such inaccuracies as have been provided in writing to the Trustee.

- 66 -

(l) Solvency. The Issuer, both prior to and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined in §101(32)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code); (ii) is able to pay its debts as they become due; and (iii) does not have unreasonably small capital for the activities that it conducts or for any transaction(s) in which it is about to engage.

(m) Investment Company. The Issuer is not an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, or otherwise subject to any other federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness. The Issuer, at all times, within the meaning of 17 C.F.R. 270.3a-7, (1) will have issued only the Notes and the membership interests issued to its managing member at its formation, and any other securities issued by the Issuer are “fixed income securities or other securities ... that depend primarily on the cash flow from eligible assets” and for which a trustee is appointed in compliance with 17 C.F.R. 270.3a-7(a)(4), (2) will sell its securities only to its affiliates, “qualified institutional buyers”, or institutional accredited investors or will sell securities “rated, at the time of initial sale, in one of the four highest categories assigned long-term debt” by one of the Rating Agency, Xxxxx’x, S & P or Fitch, (3) will either acquire or dispose of the Contracts only in accordance with and as permitted by the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, the Assignment Agreements, the Servicing Agreement, its limited liability company operating agreement and the Indenture or any other “eligible assets” only (a) in accordance with the agreements under which its securities are issued, (b) if a rating downgrade of any of its outstanding “fixed-income securities” does not result and (c) if such acquisition or disposition is not “for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes”. The Issuer will not engage in any business other than that expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents and its limited liability company operating agreement.

(n) Limited Activities. Since its formation, the Issuer has conducted no activities other than the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents contemplated hereby, and such other activities as are incidental to the foregoing and otherwise permitted under Section 12.02(i). The Issuer has incurred no indebtedness nor engaged in any activities or transactions nor acquired any assets except as expressly contemplated hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

(o) Taxes. The Issuer has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and local tax returns which are required to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Issuer or the Servicer on its behalf has set aside adequate reserves on its books in accordance with GAAP and which proceedings have not given rise to any Lien.

(p) Lockbox Accounts. The Issuer has no lockbox accounts or other bank accounts for the collection of the Contract Assets other than the Lockbox Account.

(q) Accuracy of Information. All certificates, reports, financial statements and similar writings furnished by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Trustee or any Noteholder, at any time pursuant to any requirement of, or in response to any written request of any such party under,

- 67 -

this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, have been, and all such certificates, reports, financial statements and similar writings hereafter furnished by the Issuer to such parties will be, true and accurate in every respect material to the transactions contemplated hereby on the date as of which any such certificate, report, financial statement or similar writing was or will be delivered, and shall not omit to state any material facts or any facts necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.

(r) Rating Agency Perfection Requirements as to Collateral.

(1) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. The Issuer has good and marketable title to the Collateral (including the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Servicer Transition Account and all amounts from time to time on deposit in the Lockbox Account with respect to the Contracts), free and clear of any Liens (except as otherwise provided in the Lockbox Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of Obligors to Security Deposits retained by the Issuer).

(2) All of the Contracts included in the Collateral constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “instruments” within the meaning of the UCC. The Issuer has transferred to the Trustee the Contract Files, and, other than the stamp, if any, in favor of a prior lender that signed a Release Agreement related to a Contract, none of the tangible chattel paper in such Contract File has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than in favor of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Equipment related to each Contract constitutes either “equipment” for purposes of section 9-102(33) of the UCC or “inventory” for purposes of section 9-102(48) of the UCC; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Contracts representing an amount less than or equal to 5.0% of the Discounted Pool Balance may relate to Equipment that does not constitute “equipment” for purposes of section 9-102(33) of the UCC or “inventory” for purposes of section 9-102(48) of the UCC.

(3) The Issuer has caused (and will instruct the Servicer to cause), the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest granted in the Collateral to the Trustee hereunder. Each such financing statement will contain a statement that a “purchase of, or security interest in, any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Trustee.”

(4) Each of the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Servicer Transition Account constitutes a “securities account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. As provided in Section 13.02(e), the securities intermediary for the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Servicer Transition Account has agreed to treat all assets credited thereto as “financial assets” within the meaning of the UCC and the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to identify in its records the Trustee as the person

- 68 -

having a security entitlement against the securities intermediary in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Servicer Transition Account. None of the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the Servicer Transition Account is in the name of any person other than the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Issuer has not permitted the securities intermediary of the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the Servicer Transition Account to comply with entitlement orders of any person other than the Trustee. The Issuer has received all consents and approvals required in connection with the Grant to the Trustee of its interest and rights in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Servicer Transition Account.

(5) The Lockbox Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Issuer has delivered, or has caused the Servicer to deliver, to the Trustee, a fully executed Lockbox Intercreditor Agreement relating to the Lockbox Account, pursuant to which the Lockbox Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions by the Trustee, as securities intermediary thereunder, directing the disposition of funds in the Lockbox Account without further consent by the Issuer or the Servicer. The Issuer has not permitted any Lockbox Bank to comply with any instructions of any other Person regarding withdrawal of funds other than the Trustee and, to the extent permitted under the Transaction Documents, the Servicer. The Lockbox Account is not in the name of any person other than the Issuer, the Trustee or the Lockbox Bank, as securities intermediary under the Lockbox Intercreditor Agreement.

(6) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer or the Originator that include a description of collateral that includes the Collateral other than any financing statement that have been terminated or released. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Issuer or the Originator.

(7) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the representations contained in this Section 12.01(r) shall be continuing and remain in full force and effect, without waiver, until the date on which the Notes have been paid in full.

(8) At all times, all Collateral will consist of property in which a security interest may be created and attach under the UCC.

Section 12.02 Covenants. The Issuer hereby makes the following covenants for the benefit of the Secured Parties and on which the Trustee relies in accepting the Collateral in trust and in authenticating the Notes.

- 69 -

(a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances and grant of security interests hereunder, the Issuer will not sell, pledge, assign, convey, dispose of or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Collateral now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein prior to the termination of this Indenture pursuant to Section 5.01; the Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the existence of any Lien on any of the Collateral immediately upon discovery thereof; the Issuer shall promptly discharge (or cause to be discharged) any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on the Collateral; and the Issuer shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under the Collateral now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Issuer; provided that nothing in this Section 12.02(a) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Issuer from suffering to exist upon any of the Equipment any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges due from the Issuer if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or, if the Issuer shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings, nonpayment of such taxes or charges shall not pose any risk of forfeiture of such Equipment, and the aggregate amount at dispute shall not be greater than $50,000.00, unless the Control Party otherwise approves.

(b) Obligations with Respect to the Contract Assets. The Issuer will do nothing to impair the rights of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral. In addition, to the extent the Issuer actually receives any Collections, it shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt and identification thereof the amount of such Collections in accordance with Section 13.03 and will hold such monies in trust for the Trustee until so deposited. The Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Trustee or the Control Party may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Originator and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, the Assignment Agreements and the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with such Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee or the Control Party, as applicable, including the transmission of notices of default thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Originator or the Servicer of each of their obligations thereunder.

(c) Notice of Default, Etc. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee and each Holder of Outstanding Notes immediately upon becoming aware of the existence of any condition or event that constitutes a Default, an Event of Default or an Event of Servicing Termination, a written notice describing its nature and period of existence and what action is being taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

(d) Compliance with Law. The Issuer will comply, in all material respects, with all acts, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and directions of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or the Collateral or any part thereof or necessary for it to perform its responsibilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents; provided that the Issuer may contest any act, regulation, order, decree or direction in good faith and in any reasonable manner which shall not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral.

- 70 -

(e) Preservation of Security Interest. The Issuer shall execute and file such documents requested of it which may be required by law to fully preserve and protect the first priority security interest of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral.

(f) Maintenance of Office, Etc. The Issuer will not, without providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and without filing such amendments to any previously filed financing statements as the Trustee may require or as may be required in order to maintain the Trustee’s perfected security interest in the Collateral (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (a) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its principal place of business, or (b) change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of any applicable enactment of the UCC.

(g) Further Assurances. The Issuer will make, execute or endorse, acknowledge, and file or deliver to the Trustee and the Control Party from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports, UCC financing statements, and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral, as the Trustee may reasonably request and reasonably require in connection with the transactions the subject of the Transaction Documents, except that UCC financing statements are not required to have been filed against the related Obligor for any Equipment related to any Contract that had an original equipment cost at origination of less than (A) if such Contract is a secured loan or finance lease that provides for a $1 purchase option, $25,000, or (B) if such Contract provides for a “fair market value” purchase option, $50,000.

(h) Notice of Liens. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing immediately after becoming aware of any Lien on any portion of the Collateral, except for any Liens on Equipment for municipal or other local taxes due from the Issuer if such taxes shall not at the time be due or payable without penalty or, provided the same are Permitted Liens, if the Issuer shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings, such nonpayment shall not pose any risk of forfeiture of such Collateral and the Issuer shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.

(i) Separateness Covenants. The Issuer shall respect and appropriately document the separate and independent nature of its activities, as compared with those of any other Person, take all reasonable steps to continue its identity as a separate legal entity, and make it apparent to Persons that the Issuer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuer (i) shall (A) maintain its books and records separate from the books and records of any other entity, (B) maintain separate bank accounts and no funds of the Issuer shall be commingled with funds of any other entity except as otherwise permitted in the Lockbox Intercreditor Agreement, (C) keep in full effect its existence, rights, privileges, licenses and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of Delaware, (D) cause its officers to act independently and in its interests, (E) cause its managing member to duly authorize all of its limited liability company actions and (F) observe all company procedures required by its organizational documents and applicable laws; and (ii) shall not (A) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part, (B) own any subsidiary or lend or advance any moneys to, or make an

- 71 -

investment in, any Person, (C) except as provided in the Transaction Documents, incur any debt in connection with or make any capital expenditures, (D)(1) commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, wind-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, (2) seek appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or any part of its assets, (3) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (4) take any action in furtherance of, or consenting or acquiescing in, any of the foregoing, (E) make any loan or advance or credit to, or guarantee (directly or indirectly or by an instrument having the effect of assuring another’s payment or performance on any obligation or its capability of doing so, or otherwise), endorse or otherwise become contingently liable (directly or indirectly) for the obligations of, or own or purchase any stock, obligations or securities of or any other interest in, or make any capital contribution to, any other Person other than as specifically provided for in the Transaction Documents, (F) merge or consolidate with any other Person, (G) engage in any other action that detracts from whether the separate legal identity of the Issuer will be respected, including (1) holding itself out as or permitting itself to be held out as being liable for the debts of any other Person or (2) acting other than in its name and through its duly authorized officers or agents, (H) create, incur, assume, or in any manner become liable in respect of any indebtedness other than the Notes, expenses associated with the Closing Date, trade payables and expense accruals incurred in the ordinary course of business which are incidental to its permitted activities, and as provided in or under the Transaction Documents, (I) sponsor or contribute, or contract to or incur any other obligation to contribute to any Plans, or (J) enter into or become party to any agreements or instruments other than the Transaction Documents or any documents or instruments executed pursuant thereto and in connection therewith. The Issuer will not hold itself out, or permit itself to be held out, as having agreed to pay or as being liable for the debts of the Originator and the Issuer will not engage in any transactions with the Originator, except as expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents and on an arm’s-length basis. The Issuer will not hold the Originator out to third parties as other than an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from the Issuer. The Issuer will not act in any other matter that could foreseeably mislead others with respect to the Issuer’s separate identity. Failure of the Issuer or the Originator on behalf of the Issuer to comply with any of the foregoing covenants shall not affect the status of the Issuer as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of the Originator. So long as any Notes remain Outstanding or any other amounts are owed under the Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall not amend its organizational documents without the prior written consent of the Control Party and prior written notice to the Rating Agency and the Trustee. The Issuer shall not make any investment in any Person through the direct or indirect holding of securities or otherwise other than in Eligible Investments. The Issuer shall not declare or pay any dividends, except out of funds released to it under Section 13.03. The Issuer will not have any of its indebtedness guaranteed by the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator. The Issuer will cause any financial statements consolidated with those of the Originator to state that the Issuer is a separate entity with its own separate creditors who, in any liquidation of the Issuer, will be entitled to be satisfied out of the Issuer’s assets prior to any value in the Issuer becoming available to the Issuer’s equity holders. Without the prior written consent of the Control Party, the Issuer will not, nor will it permit or allow others to, amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Contract Assets, except to the extent otherwise expressly permissible under the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may, without the prior written consent of the Control Party, waive any assumption fees, late payment charges, charges for checks returned for

- 72 -

insufficient funds, or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Contracts. The Issuer shall take such actions as the Trustee (at the direction of the Control Party) shall request to enforce the Issuer’s rights under the Contracts, and, at any time during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall take such actions as are necessary to enable the Trustee (at the direction of the Control Party) to exercise such rights in the Trustee’s own name. On or before June 15 of each year, so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and each Noteholder, an Officer’s Certificate confirming that the Issuer is in compliance with its obligations under this Section 12.02(i).

(j) Directors. The Issuer agrees that at all times, at least one (1) of the directors of the Issuer will be professional directors that are not, and have not been, a director, shareholder, officer or employee of any direct or ultimate parent or Affiliate of the Originator; provided that an independent director or independent officer may serve in similar capacities for other “special purpose entities” formed by the Originator and its Affiliates.

(k) Treatment for Tax Purposes. The Issuer shall treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer and the Collateral as assets owned by the Issuer for purposes of all federal, state and local income taxes, unless and until otherwise required by an applicable taxing authority.

(l) Information Regarding the Issuer. The Issuer shall, on the written request of the Trustee or the Control Party, on reasonable notice, furnish to the Trustee and the Noteholders the books and records of the Issuer maintained pursuant to its limited liability company agreement and any and all other information maintained or held by the Issuer regarding the Issuer or the Collateral.

(m) Preservation of the Contract Assets. The Issuer shall not assign, sell, pledge, or exchange, or in any way encumber or permit the encumbrance of, or otherwise dispose of, the Contract Assets except as expressly permitted under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(n) Enforcement of Transaction Documents. Upon request, the Issuer will cooperate with the taking of all actions necessary, and the diligent pursuit of all remedies available to it, in all cases to the extent commercially reasonable, to allow the Control Party and the Trustee in the name of the Issuer to enforce all obligations of the Originator and the Servicer owing to the Issuer under the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are a party and to secure its rights thereunder.

(o) Issuer May Not Merge, etc. The Issuer shall not merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person.

(p) Reserved.

(q) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes may be used by the Issuer solely to pay to or on behalf of the applicable assignor, the Purchase Price owed to it in accordance with the Assignment Agreement for the purchase of Contract Assets, and to pay expenses owed to the Noteholders, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicer and the Back-up

- 73 -

Servicer related thereto or otherwise associated with the issuance of the Notes. None of the transactions contemplated in this Indenture (including the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes) will result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act or any regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Issuer does not own or intend to, and none of the proceeds from the Notes will be used to, carry or purchase any margin securities originally issued by it or any “margin stock” within the meaning of said Regulation U.

(r) Indemnification. The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Noteholders from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury sustained or suffered by them by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions (i) by the Issuer in the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents (including any violation of any applicable laws by the Issuer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture) to which it is a party, or (ii) arising out of the activities of any of them with respect to the Collateral, including enforcement of rights and remedies against the Issuer under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided that the Issuer shall not indemnify the Noteholders if such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury is due to such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of its rights or duties hereunder. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section shall only be payable, subject to the priority of payments in Section 13.03, from the assets of the Issuer released from the Collateral except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents. The provisions of this indemnity shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

(s) Taxes. The Issuer shall pay and discharge all taxes and governmental charges upon it or against any of its properties or assets or its income prior to the date after which penalties attach for failure to pay, except (a) to the extent that the Issuer shall be contesting in good faith in appropriate proceedings its obligation to pay such taxes or charges, and adequate reserves having been set aside for the payment thereof and no Lien has been created on any of its assets in connection therewith, or (b) with respect to such taxes and charges which are not material in either nature or amount such that any failure to pay or discharge them, and any resulting penalties, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the financial condition, operations, activities or prospects of the Issuer or the interests of each Noteholder under this Indenture, a Note or any other Transaction Document, and no Lien has been created on any of the Issuer’s assets in connection therewith.

(t) No Adverse Transactions. The Issuer shall not enter into any transaction which adversely affects the Collateral or any Secured Party’s rights under this Indenture, a Note or any other Transaction Document.

(u) Transactions by Issuer. None of the Noteholders shall have any obligation to authorize the Issuer to, and the Issuer shall not (without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders), enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Person (including, without limitation any Affiliate, any shareholder, director, manager, officer or employee (or any relative thereof) of the Issuer or any such Affiliate) unless such transaction is (a) expressly permitted

- 74 -

under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, (b) in the ordinary course of conducting the Issuer’s permitted activities and (c) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Issuer than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction.

(v) Further Limitations on Actions.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Trustee shall, upon request from the Servicer, provide the Servicer with sufficient information regarding the amount of collections with respect to the Contract Assets and the other Collateral received by the Trustee in any accounts held in the name of the Trustee to permit the Servicer to perform its duties under the Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall hold all such money and property so received by it as part of the Collateral and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture. If any Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract, the Trustee, upon the request of the Issuer or the Servicer, may, and upon the request of the Control Party shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to deem a Contract a “Defaulted Contract” for purposes of the Transaction Documents and to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article VI.

The Collection Account, the Reserve Account, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Servicer Transition Account are collectively referred to as the “Trust Accounts.”

(b) The Trust Accounts shall be in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders at the Corporate Trust Office, which shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Funds in each Trust Account shall not be commingled with any other monies. The Trustee shall ensure that the Trust Accounts are at all times Eligible Accounts. All payments to be made from time to time by the Issuer to the Noteholders and other Persons out of funds in any Trust Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent. All monies deposited from time to time in the Trust Accounts pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral as herein provided.

(c) Upon direction of the Servicer, the Trustee shall invest the funds in or credited to any or all of the Trust Accounts in Eligible Investments. The direction of the Servicer shall specify the Eligible Investments in which the Trustee shall invest, shall state that the same are Eligible Investments and shall further specify the percentage of funds to be invested in each Eligible Investment. No such Eligible Investment shall mature later than the Business Day preceding the next following Payment Date. In the absence of direction of the Servicer, the Trustee shall invest funds in the Trust Accounts in Eligible Investments described in clause (g) of the definition thereof. Eligible Investments for funds in or credited to the Trust Accounts shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss incurred on any funds invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to the provisions of this Section (other than losses from nonpayment of investments in obligations of U.S. Bank National Association issued in its individual capacity). In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its Stated Maturity Date or for the failure of any appropriate Person to provide timely written investment direction.

All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to each Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Trustee or indorsed to the Trustee or in blank, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Trustee or in blank.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 14.07 Benefits of Indenture Limited to Parties and Express Third Party Beneficiaries.
