THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form. The Notes, in each case together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the forms set forth as Exhibits to this Indenture with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

Each of the Notes shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver for original issue (i) Class A-1 Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $330,000,000, (ii) Class A-2 Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $179,000,000, (iii) Class A-3 Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $330,000,000 (iv) Class A-4 Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $93,790,000, (v) Class B Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $22,690,000, (vi) Class C Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $22,690,000, and (vii) Class D Notes in an Aggregate Principal Amount of $30,252,983. The Aggregate Principal Amount of such Classes of Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed such respective amounts, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05.

The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

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 by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.03 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Notes, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like tenor and principal amount of Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Book-Entry Notes or Definitive Notes.

Section 2.04 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and the amounts and number of such Notes.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees (and, if applicable, such Noteholder), one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like Aggregate Principal Amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like Aggregate Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided under Section 3.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued in accordance with this Section 2.04(b) upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or by a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 not involving any transfer.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Note.

Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of beneficial ownership in any Note an interest in which is transferable through the facilities of the Clearing Agency. By purchasing a Note, the initial holder and any transferee thereof will be deemed to represent that the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute a prohibited transaction in violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered by prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable class or individual exemption (or, in the case of a governmental or church plan, any similar federal, state or local law, does not cause a non-exempt violation of any substantially similar law).

Section 2.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) in the case of any Note that has been destroyed, lost or stolen, there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon the receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to

cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall (subject to the final sentence of the initial paragraph of this Section 2.05 and the definition of “Predecessor Note” herein) constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 2.06 Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.07 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

(a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest at the related Interest Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to Section 3.01. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date; provided, however, that, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.11, with respect to Notes registered on the applicable Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.

(b) The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid on the Payment Date, following the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless the Required Holders have waived such Event of Default in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent practicable, notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the

Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Trust Agreement and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.

(c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest at the applicable Interest Rate to the extent lawful. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on any Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d) All payments to be made by the Issuer under this Indenture shall be made only from the income and proceeds from the Collateral and only to the extent that the Issuer shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Collateral to enable the Issuer to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. The Indenture Trustee is not personally liable for any amounts payable under this Indenture, except as expressly provided herein.

Section 2.08 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.09 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes to be delivered to DTC, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Noteholder of such Notes will receive a Definitive Note representing such Noteholder’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.11:

(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency 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, and shall have no obligation to the Noteholders;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d) the rights of Noteholders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Noteholders and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Noteholders and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee in a form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.10 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.11, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Noteholders.

Section 2.11 Definitive Notes. With respect to the Notes, if (i)(A) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as described in the Note Depository Agreement, and (B) the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Holders of Notes representing not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of such Class of Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the related Noteholders, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Noteholders of the related Class or Classes of Notes, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the related Class of Notes to Noteholders requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of a Class, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. Definitive Notes shall be prepared at the expense of the Servicer and shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

Section 2.12 Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request stating that all conditions precedent under the Transaction Documents to such release and Section 11.01 hereof have been satisfied, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 2.13 Tax Treatment. The Issuer and the purchasers of the Notes intend, and will take all actions consistent with the intention, that the Notes be treated as indebtedness which is solely secured by the assets of the Trust for all federal, state, local, and foreign income and franchise tax purposes and that, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) as in effect for periods after January 1, 1997, the Trust be disregarded as a separate entity from the Depositor for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the

address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 3.03 Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.02(d) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent (pursuant to the written instructions of the Servicer), and no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer, except as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

payable shall be discharged from such trust and upon receipt of an Issuer Request shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to or for the account of the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.04 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Collateral.

The Issuer will from time to time execute, deliver and file (or by written notice authorize the filing of) all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Servicer and delivered to the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

Section 3.06 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Contracts.

(a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its reasonable best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents or such other instrument or agreement.

(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties and obligations under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for the action or inaction of such Persons, the Servicer or the Administrator. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Transaction Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, acting, if required by the terms of the Transaction Documents, at the direction of the Required Holders.

(d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify in writing the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency thereof. Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee.

and Servicing Agreement), specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

(e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or CFUSA of their respective duties under the Transaction Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a computer file, microfiche list, printed list or electronic list containing a true and complete list of all Contracts subject to this Indenture. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule A to this Indenture, delivered to the Indenture Trustee as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Indenture.

REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Events of Default.

“Events of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) failure to pay on any Payment Date the full amount of accrued interest on any Note, which failure continues unremedied for five (5) or more calendar days after such Payment Date;

(d) any representation or warranty made by the Issuer or the Depositor in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made and continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of (sixty) 60 calendar days after written notice and as a result of which the interests of the Noteholders are materially and adversely affected; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not be deemed to occur thereunder if the related Contracts have been repurchased, or substituted for, during such period in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreements;

(e) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to the Depositor or the Issuer; or

(f) the Issuer becomes an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 5.02 Rights Upon Event of Default; Notice.

If an Event of Default referred to in subparagraph (e) of Section 5.01 has occurred and is continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and all other amounts due to the Noteholders under the Indenture, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable. If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders by written notice to the Indenture Trustee may require the Indenture Trustee to, or the Indenture Trustee may without such notice, declare by written notice to the Issuer (with a copy to the Depositor and each Rating Agency) that the unpaid principal amount of the Notes together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and all other amounts due to the Noteholders under the Indenture shall immediately and without further act become due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made, in the case of any event described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (f) of Section 5.01, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in Article Five, the Required Holders may waive such Event of Default pursuant to a written notice to the Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Servicer. In the event a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of an Event of Default, it shall give written notice thereof to the Depositor, CFUSA, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have received a written notice pursuant to this Section 5.02 or has actual knowledge of an Event of Default.

If an Insolvency Event relating to the Depositor occurs, pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the day of such Insolvency Event, the Depositor shall promptly give notice in writing to the Indenture Trustee of the Insolvency Event, the Indenture Trustee shall, following receipt of such notice, notify the Noteholders in writing of such Insolvency Event and the Indenture Trustee shall, unless notified to the contrary in writing by the Required Holders within 30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s so notifying them, promptly act pursuant to and in accordance with the terms thereof to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms. The proceeds from any such sale, disposition or liquidation of Contracts shall be deposited in the Collection Account and allocated as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and herein.

Promptly following its receipt of notice hereunder or under any other Transaction Document of any Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall send a copy thereof to the Issuer and each Rating Agency.

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee; Authority of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent

payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) The Indenture Trustee, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall have full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with respect to the administration, maintenance or disposition of the Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture if an Event of Default shall have occurred which is continuing, and if the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under Section 10.01(b) when and as due, the Indenture Trustee may in its discretion, and shall at the direction of the Required Holders, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall only be entitled to take any such actions to the extent such actions (i) are taken only to enforce the Issuer’s obligations to redeem the principal amount of Notes, and (ii) are taken only against the Collateral, any investments therein and any proceeds thereof.

(e) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

	(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses, indemnities and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(f) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or compensation affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

(g) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(h) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (including any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all of the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

Section 5.04 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 5.05) may, and shall (subject to Section 6.02) if so directed by the Required Holders in writing:

(a) institute Proceedings in its own name and as or on behalf of a trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(b) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

(c) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other remedy available to the Indenture Trustee and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under this Indenture or the Notes; and

(d) direct the Issuer to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, or (B) the proceeds, net of the unpaid fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee, of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to each Rating Agency and obtains the consent of the Required Holders. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain at the expense of the Servicer and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment bank or an Independent Certificate from an accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose; provided, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(e), caused solely from an event described in such subparagraph occurring with respect to the Depositor, the Collateral will be liquidated by the Indenture Trustee and the Trust will be terminated 90 days after the date of such Insolvency Event, unless, before the end of such 90-day period, the Indenture Trustee shall have received written instructions from the Required Holders, to the effect that such Required Holders disapprove of the liquidation of such Collateral and termination of such Trust.

Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Contracts. Following an Event of Default which is continuing and except as otherwise provided above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, at the expense of the Servicer elect to maintain possession of the Collateral. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain at the expense of the Servicer and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment bank or Independent Certificate of an accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

Section 5.06 Priorities.

(a) Except as set forth in the following sentence, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Five, it shall remit the money or property in the order and priority set forth in Section 7.05(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) of Section 5.04(d), it shall remit the money or property, net of any unpaid fees or expenses payable to the Indenture Trustee, in the order and priority set forth in Section 7.05(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.07 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (and in all events subject to Section 11.16):

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(d) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting together as a single class.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing 25% or more but less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.08 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12 Control by Noteholders. The Required Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the

Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee (in all events subject to Section 6.02(f)); provided that:

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

(b) subject to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be of no force and effect; and

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability.

Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. In the case of any waiver of an Event of Default, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture.

Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (iii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance

of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.16 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee under this Article Five shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.05(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and the Servicer as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Pooling and 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing, including facsimile with an original thereof to follow) of the Required Holders shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Depositor or the Servicer under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver which may be given by the Issuer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE SIX

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 6.01 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and

powers vested in it by this Indenture and in the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge:


	(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

	(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the factual statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Noteholders of such instrument in the event that the Indenture Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

	(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 6.01(b);

	(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Indenture Trustee unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

	(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12 or any written direction of the Required Holders (or, if applicable the Holders of Notes representing 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes).

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall have no discretionary duties other than those explicitly set forth in this Indenture.

(i) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this section and to the provisions of the TIA.

(j) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have received written notice or obtained actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default.

(k) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document (whether in original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(l) The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

(m) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.

(n) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys or custodians, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.

Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any Transaction Document or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, or (C) to see

to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral.

Section 6.02 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts the appointment (i) as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent with respect to the Equity Certificate, (ii) as the Certificate Registrar and (iii) as the Paying Agent for the Equity Certificate.

(b) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document.

(c) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate (with respect to factual matters), advice of counsel or an Opinion of Counsel, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate, advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel.

(d) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

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

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture in a manner consistent with Section 6.01; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders of Notes shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,

notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless so requested by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

(i) The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee, in each case, with respect to its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 6.03 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee is required to comply with Section 6.11.

Section 6.04 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Collateral or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Transaction Documents or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 6.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs. A Default shall be known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or has received notice thereof pursuant to Section 5.02. In the absence of such knowledge or notice, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Default. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption of such Notes), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

Section 6.06 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information, including, without limitation, IRS Form 1099, as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

Section 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay or shall cause the Administrator or Servicer pursuant to the Pooling Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Administrator or Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify or shall cause the Administrator or Servicer pursuant to the Pooling Agreement to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer, the Administrator or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend or shall cause the Administrator or Servicer to defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay or shall cause the Administrator or Servicer to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator or Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee conclusively determined by a court of law of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall not be made from the Trust Assets; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.07, to the extent unpaid, shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.06; provided, further, that any payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.07, if unpaid, shall not constitute a general recourse claim against the Issuer. Anything in this Indenture or any other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Issuer’s, Servicer’s and Administrator’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation and removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.08 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Servicer. The Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(b) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs, provided any such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days;

(c) the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case, or consents to a decree or order granting relief in any involuntary case or proceeding, under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails, or admits in writing its inability, generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting as such;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be removed by the Issuer if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing without the written concurrence of the Required Holders.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of the successor Indenture Trustee’s succession to Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all amounts owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the retiring Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts as such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 6.07.

Section 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Xxxxxx. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have. The Rating Agencies will be notified of any such merger or consolidation.

Section 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separate Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Indenture Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility of a successor Indenture Trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee shall be required under Section 6.08.

(b) Every separate Indenture Trustee and co-Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:


	(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

	(ii) no Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other Indenture Trustee hereunder; and

	(iii) the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Indenture Trustees and co-Indenture Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article. Each separate Indenture Trustee and co-Indenture Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of co-appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

(d) Any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

Section 6.11 Eligibility. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA §310(a). The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a financial institution organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any

State or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, whose long term unsecured debt is rated at least Baa3 by Moody’s and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or shall be a member of a bank holding system the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, provided that the Indenture Trustee’s separate capital and surplus shall at all times be at least the amount required by Section 310(a)(2) of the TIA. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met.

Section 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to each Rating Agency, and with the consent of a Majority in Interest, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto, upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all the conditions precedent applicable thereto under this Indenture have been satisfied, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:


	(i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Date Amount with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of Collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Collateral to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article Five, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

Neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any of their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Noteholder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Noteholders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be adversely affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be

conclusive upon the Holders of the Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith as in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the parties hereto of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

If amounts are to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Servicer or the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Indenture Trustee not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the Redemption Date.

All notices of redemption shall state:


	(i) the Redemption Date;

	(ii) the Redemption Date Amount; and

(b) Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:


	(i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

	(iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Section 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons may certify or give an opinion as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article Six.

Section 11.03 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken (manually or by facsimile) by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 11.04 Notices. All notices, demands, certificates, requests and communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the U.S. mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier specifying one business day’s delivery, or (c) on the date personally delivered to an Authorized Officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, in all cases addressed to the recipient at the address specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for such recipient.

Each party hereto may, by Notice given in accordance herewith to each of the other parties hereto, designate any further or different address to which subsequent Notices shall be sent.

Section 11.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for Notice to Noteholders of any event, such Notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such Notice. In any case where Notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such Notice nor any defect in any Notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such Notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any Notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for Notice in any manner, such Notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such Notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such Notice. Waivers of Notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

Section 11.06 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing, at the sole expense of the Issuer or the Holder, for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

Section 11.07 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-Indenture Trustees and agents.

Section 11.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.10 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership or security interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 11.11 Legal Holidays.

beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

By purchasing this Note, the holder is deemed to represent that the acquisition and holding of this Note will not constitute a prohibited transaction in violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered by prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable class or individual exemption (or, in the case of a governmental or church plan, does not cause a non-exempt violation of any substantially similar law).

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority in Interest of the Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholders shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Noteholders.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
