Section 2.03. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER OF CERTAIN NOTES.
(a) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class B
Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or
is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state
securities laws. If a transfer of any Class B Note is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositor or one of its
Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer
unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate
from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in the form attached as
Exhibit C-1 hereto and a certificate from such Noteholder's prospective
transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto (which in the case of the
Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the Noteholder's prospective transferee
will be deemed to have represented such certification). None of the Issuer, the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the
Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class B
Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action
not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Class
B Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder
desiring to effect a transfer of Class B Notes or interests therein shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture
Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Note
Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(b) Each Holder or Note Owner of a Class B Note shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such Person (A) is a
QIB and (B) is purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account of a
QIB to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule
144A and (ii) such Person understands that such Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act, and that if in the future it decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Notes, such Notes may be offered, resold,
pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller
reasonably believes is a QIB, that is purchasing such Notes for its own account
or for the account of a QIB to which notice is given that the transfer is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A.
6
(c) No Class A Note or Mezzanine Note may be sold or transferred
to a Person unless such Person certifies in the form of Exhibit D to this
Agreement (which in the case of Notes which are Book-Entry Notes, such Person
will be deemed to have represented such certification), which certification the
Indenture Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, that:
(i) Such Person is neither (A) an employee benefit plan,
an Xxxxxx MSA as described in Section 220(d) of the Code, an education
individual retirement account as described in Section 530 of the Code
or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement
accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective investment funds and
separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are
invested, including, without limitation, insurance company general
accounts, that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a
"Plan"), nor (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as
trustee of, or with "plan assets" (as defined under the DOL Regulation
at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of a Plan ("Plan Assets"); or
(ii) In the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes,
such Person is a Plan or a Person purchasing such Note with "plan
assets" and represents that, as of the date of the transfer, (A) the
Notes are rated investment grade or better, (B) such Person believes
that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial
equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so
treat the Notes and (C) the acquisition and holding of the Note will
not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or
(iii) In the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes,
such Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the
Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, which
establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee that the
purchase, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is
permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the
Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
the Indenture.
(iv) The Class B Notes may not be purchased by a Plan or
person using Plan Assets.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of
Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Note by the Depositor to an Affiliate of
the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof
shall be deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan
or any Person investing "plan assets" of any Plan) and the Note
Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation
(which, upon the request of the Note Registrar, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an Affiliate of the Depositor.
7
Section 2.04. REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The
Indenture Trustee initially shall be the "Note Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note
Registrar. The Note Registrar shall keep a register (the "Note Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and the
restrictions on transfers of the Notes set forth herein, the Issuer shall
provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of
Notes.
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 number of such Notes.
Subject to Section 2.03, 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 the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to obtain from the Indenture
Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in
any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to
obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or
participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or
such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Note Registrar 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
8
transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.05 not
involving any transfer.
The preceding provisions of this Section 2.04 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.
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) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Issuer, the Note
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, and upon certification provided by the Holder of such Note that
the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute,
and upon its request 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; 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 Optional 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 2.05, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar 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)
connected therewith.
Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.05 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.
9
Section 2.06. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and
any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee 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 be overdue, and none of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any agent of
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.07. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. (a) The Notes shall
accrue interest at the applicable Note Rate as set forth in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date,

to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date, by the Holder of any Note by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account specified in the request and at the expense of such Noteholder,
except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.10,
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account

payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date, on the applicable Final
Stated Maturity Date for the Notes or on the Optional Redemption Date if the

Notes of each Class shall be made PRO RATA to the Noteholders entitled thereto.
The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered

Officer's Certificate, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel, (iii)(A) Independent
Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or (B) an

such Independent Certificates or Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent
Certificates shall be necessary in respect of property released from the lien of
the Indenture in accordance with the provisions hereof if such property consists
solely of cash.
(b) The Originator, the Servicer or the Redeemer, as applicable,

typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to, or to
the Indenture Trustee as custodian for, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer. The Class B Notes offered and sold in reliance on the
exemption from registration under Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the
form of one or more Global Securities with the applicable legends set forth in
Exhibit A-3 added to the forms of such Notes. The Book-Entry Notes shall be
registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner thereof will receive a Definitive
Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in
Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the
"DEFINITIVE NOTES") have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section
2.12:
11
(i) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full
force and effect;
(ii) 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 Note
Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section
2.10 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control;
(iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Note Owners 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 2.12, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar
shall register any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry
Note; and the initial 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
(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions
to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Balance of the
Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage
only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
from Note Owners 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.
Section 2.11. 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 Note Owners pursuant to Section
2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to
the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.
Section 2.12. DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i) the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor or
(ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners of the Book-Entry
Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the
Outstanding Balance of the Book-Entry Notes advise the Clearing Agency in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency
is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency
shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note
12
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, the
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as
Noteholders.
Section 2.13. TAX TREATMENT. The Issuer has made a REMIC election
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Notes will constitute REMIC regular
interests.

Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so
withdrawn from such accounts for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the

to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any

resulting withholding taxes to the Indenture Trustee.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust
and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in
a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York (including, but

that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from
the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ,
at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of
such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and
payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture
Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).
Section 3.04. EXISTENCE. (a) 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

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

Trustee herein.

other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05 and
hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee (who is not obligated to make such

behalf of the Issuer.

such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security
interest effective.
Section 3.07. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF THE ASSISTANCE
LOANS. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not
to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from
any of such Person's material covenants or obligations

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 this Indenture, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.
(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in
performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties
by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of

its duties under this Indenture.
(c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Operative Agreements

modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any
Collateral or without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Operative
Agreements to which the Indenture Trustee is a party (except to the extent

delay the timing of, payments that are required to be made for the benefit of
the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that is
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all the Outstanding Notes affected thereby. If any such amendment, modification,

Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own

Trustee, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate, within five
days after learning of the occurrence of any event which with the giving of
notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of the definition of "Event of Default," its status and what
action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of such Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer and such
notice references the Notes, the Trust Estate or this Indenture.
Section 5.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Holders of Notes representing
not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, declare the
Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer
(and to the Indenture Trustee if such notice is given by the Noteholders), and
upon any such declaration the unpaid aggregate Note Balance, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration shall
become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with
respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, Holders of the Notes representing not
less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may waive the related Event of
Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (a) all payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due
hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred; and (b) all sums paid or advanced by the
Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and
counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.
Section 5.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the
payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and
such default continues for a period of
23
five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any
installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable,
the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the
Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, pay to the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest at
the applicable Note Rate upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.
(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due

may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and
collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other
obligor the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by Holders
of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, to protect and enforce
any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested
in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership
interest in the Trust Estate, 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, as directed
in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,
irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable

this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee

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 and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee
and each predecessor Indenture Trustee.
(e) 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
composition 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.
(f) 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

any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture
to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.
Section 5.04. PRIORITIES.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing ]
and if an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant to Section
5.02 hereof, the Indenture
25
Trustee may, and shall, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of
the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, do one or more of the following
(subject to Section 5.05 hereof):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as 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 monies adjudged
due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the
rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate 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
Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate
Note Balance of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Holders of the Notes 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 Mortgage
Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the applicable Notes as they would have
become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of a majority of
the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon written
advice or an opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as a Event of Servicing Termination has not
occurred, any sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the
continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer as provided
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or
property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in
the following order:
(i) to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
Section 6.07 hereof and to the Owner Trustee for amounts due pursuant
to Article VII of the Trust Agreement;
(ii) to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section
5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on
the Notes with respect to interest;
(iii) to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section
5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on
the Notes with respect to principal;
26
(iv) to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section
5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for the amount of any related
Allocated Realized Loss Amount;
(v) to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section
5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on
the Notes with respect to any related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount;
and
(vi) to the payment of the remainder, if any to the
Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer or to any other person
legally entitled thereto.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Payment Date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05. OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE TRUST ESTATE. If the Notes
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the
Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that
there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall take such desire into account with respect to whether or not to
take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. With respect to whether and
how to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon the written advice or an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless:
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to
the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 50% of the aggregate
Note Balance of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture
Trustee to institute such proceeding with respect to the Notes in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee
hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute
such proceedings; and
27
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by
the Holders of 50% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes;
it being understood and intended that no Holder of Notes shall have any right in
any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of
Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided.

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 5.08. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT A WAIVER. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.
Section 5.11. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Holders of a majority of the
aggregate Note Balance of Notes 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; provided that:
28
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
of law or with this Indenture;

liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing
not less than 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes;

indemnity satisfactory to it; and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with
such direction of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the
Note Balances of the Notes.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section
5.11 the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might
involve it in liability.
Section 5.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof,
the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences
except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Note. In the case of any such waiver, 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, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note
Balances of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.
Section 5.14. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
29
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts
payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The

representing at least 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes consent to
such Sale.

Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition
thereof for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).

due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being
appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses
of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are
reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in
order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to
be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the
Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture;

bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the
satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of
any monies.

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.

with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and

ARTICLE VI
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 6.01. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(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
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

assume that there is no Event of Default.

Trustee to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial

of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe
that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(h) Every provision of this Indenture or any Operative Agreement
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 6.01,
Section 6.02 and to the provisions of the TIA.

Servicing Agreement and such other documents and instruments as shall be
necessary or appropriate in accordance with its duties and obligations under

which the Indenture Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement,
and (ii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture; and no implied duties
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any Operative Agreement

be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an
Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The right of the Indenture Trustee
to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture or in any
Operative Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and the Indenture Trustee
shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of such act.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers

takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers.

it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with any Opinion of Counsel of such
counsel.
(f) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as

Agreement, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Article VI shall be afforded to such Paying Agent, Note Registrar and
Administrator.
(g) The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Indenture
Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect
transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in

amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Indenture Trustee (i) pursuant to
this Indenture or (iii) out of Available Funds.
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 must 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 any of the Operative Agreements or the Notes or the sufficiency of
the Collateral; 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
or the Servicer in this Indenture, any Operative Agreement or in
35
any other 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 EVENT OF DEFAULT. Subject to Section 5.01, the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of
Default after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured. Except in
the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any
Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it 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 as may be required to
enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. The
Indenture Trustee shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed), on
behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, all tax returns (if any) and
information reports, tax elections and such annual or other reports of the
Issuer as are necessary for preparation of tax returns and information reports
as provided in the Trust Agreement, including without limitation Form 1099. All
tax returns and information reports shall be signed by the Owner Trustee as
provided in the Trust Agreement.
Section 6.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled, as compensation for its services, to earnings with respect to, or
the benefit of amounts in, the Trust Accounts as provided in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (which amounts shall constitute the Indenture Trustee's fees
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 Indenture Trustee
and any co-trustee shall be reimbursed by the Issuer, as provided in Section
5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for all reasonable ordinary
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in
addition to the compensation for its services (as provided in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement). Reimbursable expenses under this Section 6.07 shall
include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.
The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, any co-trustee and
their respective employees, directors and agents, as provided in Section 5.03 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, against any and all claim, loss, liability or
expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or
under any Operative Agreement. The Indenture Trustee or co-trustee, as
applicable, shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the
co-trustee, as applicable, to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall
not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of their respective obligations
hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee and
any co-trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel. The Issuer shall not be required to reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee or any co-trustee through the Indenture Trustee's or
co-trustee's, as the case may be, own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.
36
The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this
Indenture and the termination or resignation of the Indenture Trustee. When the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 6.08. REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. No resignation or
removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. Holders of a majority of Note
Balances of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the
Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer
shall, remove the Indenture Trustee if:
(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section
6.11 hereof;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of
the Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to
the successor Indenture Trustee.
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Note Balances of
the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
Section 6.09. SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER. 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,
37
that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating
Agency prior written notice of any such transaction.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
Section 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer, 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 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as may be considered necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.08 hereof.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-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 trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-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 Collateral or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture
Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the

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

the Indenture Trustee, 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 trustee
or co-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 trustee.

affected thereby, by Act (as defined in Section 10.03 hereof) of such Holders
delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto 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 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 or the interest rate thereon, change the provisions of this
Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the
proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate 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,

available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any
such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates
thereof;
(ii) reduce the percentage of the Note Balances of the

supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is
required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this
Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided
for in this Indenture;
(iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the

provided by the lien of this Indenture;
Any such action shall not (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee or (ii) confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any Class of Notes) adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Holder (other than a Holder who shall consent to
such supplemental indenture).
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section
9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the
Indenture Trustee shall not consent to any supplemental indenture pursuant to
Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such
supplemental indenture, to the effect that such supplemental indenture will not
result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Notes or Certificates are outstanding and that the
supplemental indenture is being made in accordance with the terms hereof and
that all conditions precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture in
accordance with the relevant provisions of this Article IX have been met.

shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that
affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.04. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture

this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 9.05. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then
in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,

provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may

Regular Interest LTA5 has been reduced to zero.

Section 11.04. REMIC ADMINISTRATION.
(a) REMIC elections as set forth in Section 11.01 shall be made by
the Indenture Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Notes are issued. The regular interests and residual interest
in each REMIC shall be as designated in Section 11.01.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating
to any tax audit of any REMIC (including, but not limited to, any professional
fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any REMIC
that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including
the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this
Section 9.01(c) to the extent provided in Section 6.07.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the
REMICs' federal and state tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as
the direct representative of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Indenture Trustee.
(e) The Holder of the Class G Certificate at any time holding the
largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as defined
in the REMIC Provisions (the related "Tax Matters Person") with respect to REMIC
1 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1. The Holder of the Class R
Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be
the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax
Matters Person for REMIC 2 and REMIC 3. The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate
at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax
Matters Person with respect to REMIC 4 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for
REMIC 4. The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall
perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties
that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions,
or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state
or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the
REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Indenture Trustee, as agent for
the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental
authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R, Class R-X or Class G Certificate to any
disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Noteholders such information
or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Indenture
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item
of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax
matter involving the Trust.
57
(f) The Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Notes
shall take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create
or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither
the Trustee, the Issuer nor the Holder of any Class G, Class R or Class R-X
Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder
to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be,
could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer
have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking
any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or
causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under
the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Class G, Class R or Class R-X
Certificate will consult with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, or their
respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could
cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such
Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as
to which the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) The Holders of the Class R Certificates shall pay when due any
and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by the
Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Indenture Trustee shall pay any
remaining REMIC taxes out of other amounts held in the Payment Account, and
shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the
related REMIC. [Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a
state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination
that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of California for state tax purposes
by virtue of the location of the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to pay on behalf
of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of
such a determination, in the event that the Holder of the Class G, Class R or
Class R-X Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.]
(h) The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person,
shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect
to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any
REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with
respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(j) Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into
any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other
compensation for services.
58
(k) The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number
from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for
all tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.
Section 11.05. PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES. Neither the
Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any
of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure
of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Issuer, (iii) an optional
redemption pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Servicing Agreement, (iv) a
substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.04
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Payment
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition,
acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the
status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein
other than the Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificates as the regular
interests therein, (b) affect the payment of interest or principal on the Notes,
(c) result in the encumbrance of the assets pledged to the Indenture Trustee
(except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC
created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or
prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 11.06. INDEMNIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TAXES AND LOSS
OF REMIC STATUS. In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses
its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due
to the negligent performance by the Indenture Trustee of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee shall indemnify the Issuer
against any and all losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however,
that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such losses attributable
to the action or inaction of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Holder of a Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate, as applicable, nor for
any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such
Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate on which the Indenture Trustee has
relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and
remedies of the Holder of such Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
in no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or
omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express
terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Indenture, (2)
for any losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the
Indenture Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for
any special or consequential damages to Noteholders (in addition to payment of
principal and interest on the Notes).

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.01. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC. Upon any
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action
under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee: (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, and
(iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of
certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section
11.01; PROVIDED, that, in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision
of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion pursuant to clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) above need be furnished.
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;
(ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
(iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such
signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as
is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as
to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;
and
(iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each
such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 12.02. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may
be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer's
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an
Authorized Officer or Opinion of
60
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, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section 12.03. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such 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 11.03.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder
of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.
Section 12.04. NOTICES, ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ISSUER AND RATING
AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Noteholders or other
61
documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act
of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:
(i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the
Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, or
(ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in
writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed
to the address provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee
by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit
any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture
Trustee.
Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address provided
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other address as shall be designated
by written notice to the other parties.
Section 12.05. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Holder's address as it appears on the Note Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations
created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of
Default.
62
Section 12.06. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on
any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 12.07. 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 12.08. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.
Section 12.09. SEVERABILITY. 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 12.10. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE AND CONSENTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.
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, the Owner
Trustee and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by acceptance of
a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note,
consents to and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Indenture.
Section 12.11. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no additional interest
shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date in respect of
such payment date.
Section 12.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 12.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
63
Section 12.14. RECORDING OF INDENTURE. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
Section 12.15. TRUST OBLIGATIONS. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual
capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its respective individual capacity,
any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee have no such obligations in their respective individual capacities) and
except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the
extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock,
unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to
such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any
duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of
Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.
In addition, (i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington
Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee, in
the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each
of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of
the Issuer or the Owner Trustee is made and intended not as personal
representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is
made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing
herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington
Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either
expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being
expressly waived by the Indenture Trustee and by any Person claiming by, through
or under the Indenture Trustee, and (iv) under no circumstances shall Wilmington
Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or
expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation,
representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this
Indenture or the Operative Agreements.
Section 12.16. NO PETITION. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any

federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law in connection with any
obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Operative
Agreements except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be prohibited from filing

64
Section 12.17. INSPECTION. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee during the
Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records,
reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom,
to cause such books to be audited by Independent Public Accountants, and to
discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's officers,
employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall,
and shall cause its representatives to, hold in confidence all such information
except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable
applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent
that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is
consistent with its obligations hereunder.
Nothwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall
not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is
or becomes publicly known or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from
sources other than the Issuer, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if
required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any
government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or

circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Issuer or
(E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or
attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that
the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information
being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Servicer or the
Issuer.
65

registered assigns, the principal sum of ($387,000,000.00) in monthly

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's

dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche

Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on

continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid

equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied

commencing in April 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid

cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
A-5 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class A-5 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class A-5 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ($13,832,000.00) in monthly
installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in April 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
M-2 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-2 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-2 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (i) Such Person is neither (A) an employee
benefit plan, an Xxxxxx MSA as described in Section 220(d) of the Code, an
education individual retirement account as described in Section 530 of the Code

believes that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial
equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat the
Notes and (C) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a
nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code; or (iii) in the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such
Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Trust, the
Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, which establishes to the satisfaction of the
Indenture Trustee that the purchase, holding and transfer of such Note or
interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner

amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or
any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every 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 such
Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend
or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This
Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ($19,683,000.00) in monthly
installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in April 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
M-4 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-4 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-4 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (i) Such Person is neither (A) an employee
benefit plan, an Xxxxxx MSA as described in Section 220(d) of the Code, an
education individual retirement account as described in Section 530 of the Code

the Code; or (iii) in the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such
Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Trust, the
Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, which establishes to the satisfaction of the
Indenture Trustee that the purchase, holding and transfer of such Note or
interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated

assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or
any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every 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 such
Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend
or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This
Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is

registered assigns, the principal sum of ($10,640,000.00) in monthly

commencing in April 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
M-6 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-6 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-6 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.

deemed to represent that either (i) Such Person is neither (A) an employee

interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture

Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under

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 such

America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
M-8 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-8 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-8 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.

Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which

interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or
any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every 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 such
Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend
or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ($10,108,000.00) in monthly

the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this
Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche

for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
B-1 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class B-1 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class B-1 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in

as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of

note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the

other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Note or interest
herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance
with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of this is
to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in
connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the
Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in
the form attached as Exhibit C-1 of the Indenture and a certificate from such
Noteholder's prospective transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 of the
Indenture (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the
Noteholder's prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such
certification). None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the
Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify this Note under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture
to permit the transfer of this Note or interest herein without registration or
qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of this Note or
interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the
Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that this Note may not be purchased by a Plan or person
using Plan Assets.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated

assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner

designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Note or interest
herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance
with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of this
Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in
connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the
Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to
register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in
the form attached as Exhibit C-1 of the Indenture and a certificate from such
Noteholder's prospective transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 of the
Indenture (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the
Noteholder's prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such
certification). None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the
Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify this Note under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture
to permit the transfer of this Note or interest herein without registration or
qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of this Note or
interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the
Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that this Note may not be purchased by a Plan or person
using Plan Assets.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under
the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time
of the giving thereof, of this Note (or
any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every 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 such
Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend
or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This
Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ($5,320,000.00) in monthly installments
on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"), commencing in April 2005
and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity
Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this "Note")
outstanding from time to time as provided below.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE1 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture
dated as of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee",
which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
B-3 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.
The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set
forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class B-3 Notes, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class B-3 Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section
3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied
to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been
declared due and payable.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Note or interest
herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance
with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of this
Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in
connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the
Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to

Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that this Note may not be purchased by a Plan or person
using Plan Assets.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of

[NOTE REGISTRAR]
Re: GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE1
ASSET-BACKED NOTES, SERIES 2005-HE1, CLASS B (THE "NOTES")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the sale by _____________________________
(the "Transferor") to _________________________ (the "Transferee") of the Class
B-__ Notes having an initial aggregate Note Balance as of March 30, 2005 (the
"Closing Date") of $______________ (the "Transferred Notes"). The Notes,
including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as
of March 30, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust
2005-HE1 (the "Issuer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the "Indenture
Trustee"). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby
certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the
benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferee, that:
1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred
Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims
and encumbrances whatsoever.
2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its
behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any
Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security to any person in
any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other
disposition of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security
from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with
respect to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with
any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the
case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would
constitute a distribution of any Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or would render the disposition of any Note a
violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or
would require registration or qualification of any Note pursuant to the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.
3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the
Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule l44A ("Rule l44A") under
the Securities Act (a "Qualified Institutional Buyer") purchasing for its own
account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining
whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and
any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon
the following method(s)
C-1-1
of establishing the Transferee's ownership and discretionary investments of
securities (check one or more):
____ (a) The Transferee's most recent publicly available
financial statements, which statements present the
information as of a date within 16 months preceding
the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case
of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding
such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
____ (b) The most recent publicly available information
appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with
the Securities and Exchange Commission or another
United States federal, state, or local governmental
agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a
foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory
organization, which information is as of a date
within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and
within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a
foreign purchaser, or
____ (c) The most recent publicly available information
appearing in a recognized securities manual, which
information is as of a date within 16 months
preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in
the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months
preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser,
or
____ (d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a
person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other
executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the
amount of securities owned and invested on a
discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a
specific date on or since the close of the
Transferee's most recent fiscal year, or, in the case
of a Transferee that is a member of a "family of
investment companies", as that term is defined in
Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of
the investment adviser specifying the amount of
securities owned by the "family of investment
companies" as of a specific date on or since the
close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year.
4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the
Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of
establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
(a) the following instruments and interests shall be excluded:
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee;
securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or
subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer;
securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee's
"family of investment companies", if the Transferee is a
registered investment company; bank deposit notes and
certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase
agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase
agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;
C-1-2
(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of
such securities, except where the entity reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis
of their market value, and no current information with respect
to the cost of those securities has been published, in which
case the securities may be valued at market;
(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are
consolidated with the entity in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles may be included if the investments of such
subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity,
except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be
included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary
that would be included in the consolidated financial
statements of another enterprise.
5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has
taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the
Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has
furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information
regarding (a) the Mortgage Loans and payments thereon, (b) the nature and
performance of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Indenture and the Trust Estate, and
(d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Mortgage Loans, that
the Transferee has requested.
Very truly yours,
