INDENTURE, dated as of June 1, 2004 (the “Indenture”), between GREENPOINT HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 2004-3, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other party and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Issuer’s Class A Variable Rate Asset Backed Notes (the “Notes”).

As security for the payment and performance by the Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer has agreed to assign the Collateral (as defined below) to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Insurer.

Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Insurer”) has issued and delivered a certificate guaranty insurance policy for the Notes, dated the Closing Date (the “Policy”), pursuant to which the Insurer guarantees the Insured Amounts and Preference Amount (as defined in the Policy).

As an inducement to the Insurer to issue and deliver the Policy, the Issuer and the Insurer have executed and delivered the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004 (as amended from time to time, the “Insurance Agreement”), among the Insurer, the Issuer, GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., GreenPoint Mortgage Securities LLC and the Indenture Trustee.

As an additional inducement to the Insurer to issue the Policy, and as security for the performance by the Issuer of the Insurer Issuer Secured Obligations and as security for the performance by the Issuer of the Indenture Trustee Issuer Secured Obligations, the Issuer has agreed to grant and assign the Collateral (as defined below) to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, as their respective interests may appear.

GRANTING CLAUSE

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee at the Closing Date, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to: (i) a pool (the “Pool”) of certain adjustable rate home equity revolving credit line loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) (including any Additional Balances related thereto) in each case as set forth in Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date (except Interest Collections due or accrued on or before the Cut-Off Date); (iii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) rights of the Sponsor under hazard insurance policies covering the Mortgaged Properties; (v) amounts on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account; (vi) all rights under the Assignment Agreement assigned to the Issuer (including all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained therein) and all rights of the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (vii) the Policy (solely for the benefit of the Noteholders); and (viii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing (the items set forth in (i) through (viii) above, the “Collateral”).

The foregoing Grant is made in trust to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit first, of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and second, for the benefit of the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and agrees to perform its duties required in this Indenture to the best of its ability to the end that the interests of such parties, recognizing the priorities of their respective interests may be adequately and effectively protected.

The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it will hold the Policy in trust and that it will hold any proceeds of any claim made upon the Policy solely for the use and the benefit of the Noteholders in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Policy.

Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer assumes or shall assume any obligation under any Credit Line Agreement that provides for the funding of future Draws to the Mortgagor thereunder, and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall be obligated or permitted to fund any such future Draws.

ARTICLE II

The Notes

SECTION 2.1. Form. The Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Notes may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

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

SECTION 2.2. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be original or facsimile.

Notes bearing the original or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

The Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in the principal amount of $226,987,000. The Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amounts.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears attached to such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate attached to any Notes shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Subject to Section 2.11, the Notes shall be Book Entry Notes.

SECTION 2.3. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

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

Upon surrender for registration or transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, and if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount. A Noteholder may also obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount. Such requirements shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of the same class and 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, and if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Such requirements shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC.

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 (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached to Exhibit A, 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 all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Note Registrar may require.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but 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 transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.4 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Definitive Note unless the Indenture Trustee has received a representation letter (in form and substance satisfactory to the

Indenture Trustee) from the prospective transferee to the effect that either (a) such transferee is not acquiring such Note for, or on behalf of, such an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of the foregoing (each, a “Benefit Plan”) and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (b) the acquisition and holding of such Note by the transferee will be covered by a U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption. Each Note Owner, by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note, will be deemed to make one of the foregoing representations.

SECTION 2.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Insurer harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided 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 (such requirement shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-405); 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, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a replacement Note, direct the Indenture Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer 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, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

SECTION 2.5. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the Record Date) 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, the Insurer, the Note Registrar, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Insurer , the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.6. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

(a) The Notes shall accrue interest as provided herein, and such amount shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified herein. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, (1) with respect to Book-Entry Notes, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), and (2) if Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.11, then by check mailed first class, postage prepaid, (or upon the request of a Holder holding Notes having denominations aggregating at least $1,000,000 and received by the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer) to such Person who’s name appears on the Note Register on such Record Date; provided that the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final Scheduled Payment Date (except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1) shall be payable by check or draft upon presentation of the Note to the Indenture Trustee. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b) Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

(c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the Note Rate to the extent lawful. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special Record Date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the Payment Date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special Record Date and Payment Date, and, at least 15 days before any such special Record Date, the Issuer shall

mail to each Noteholder, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the special Record Date, the Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

(d) Promptly following the date on which all principal of and interest on the Notes has been paid in full and the Notes have been surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written notice from the Servicer of the amounts, if any, that the Insurer has paid in respect of the Notes under the Policy or otherwise which has not been reimbursed to the Insurer, deliver such surrendered Notes to the Insurer to the extent not previously canceled or destroyed.

SECTION 2.7. Cancellation. Subject to Section 2.6(d), all Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section 2.6(d), the Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.6(d), all canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.8. Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall, on or after the Termination Date, release any remaining portion of the Collateral from the lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the Distribution Account any funds then on deposit in any other Account. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien created by this Indenture pursuant to this Section 2.8 only upon receipt of an Issuer Request by it accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which shall also be addressed to the Insurer) and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

SECTION 2.9. Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company or its custodian, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

(i) the provisions of this Section 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 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

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 and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by the Insurer, any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred), in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount 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 (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.10. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer 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.

SECTION 5.11. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee (at the direction of the Insurer) to do so and at the Servicer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Sponsor and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and

to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Sponsor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Sponsor or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b) If a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, may, and, at the written direction of the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes) shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Sponsor or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Sponsor or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

SECTION 5.12. Subrogation. The Indenture Trustee shall receive as attorney-in-fact of each Noteholder any Insured Amounts or Preference Amounts from the Insurer pursuant to the Policy. Any and all Insured Amounts and Preference Amounts disbursed by the Indenture Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not be considered payment by the Issuer, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipient of such payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Notes which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer.

SECTION 5.13. Preference Claims.

(a) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any payment of principal and interest on a Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that, in the event that any Noteholder’s payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer at its written request, the requested records it holds in its possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from Noteholders and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the related Noteholder to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Noteholders and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder directly (unless such Noteholder has returned principal or interest paid on the Notes

to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer shall make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for payment to such Noteholder in accordance with the terms of the Policy).

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Notes. Each Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.12, the Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim. All actions taken under this Section 5.13(b) by the Indenture Trustee shall be taken in accordance with the terms of the Policy.

SECTION 5.14. Noteholder Rights. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of its Note agrees that, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer shall be treated by the Issuer, the Sellers, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as if the Insurer were the Holder of the Note for the purpose of the giving of any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise given to the Noteholder hereunder without any further consent of the Noteholder. So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Noteholders may only exercise such rights with the consent of the Insurer.

SECTION 5.15. Insurer’s Rights Regarding Actions, Proceedings or Investigations. Until all Notes have been paid in full, all amounts owed to the Insurer have been paid in full, the Insurance Agreement has terminated and the Policy has been returned to the Insurer for cancellation, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Unless an Insurer Default resulting from the failure of the Insurer to make payments under the Policy has occurred or is continuing, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Insurer shall have the right to participate in, to direct the enforcement or defense of, and, at the Insurer’s sole option, to institute or assume the defense of, any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof. Following notice to the Indenture Trustee and subject to the preceding sentence, the Insurer shall have exclusive right to determine, in its sole discretion, the actions

necessary to preserve and protect the Issuer, the Collateral, and the Trust Property. All costs and expenses of the Insurer in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation, including (without limitation) any judgment or settlement entered into affecting the Insurer or the Insurer’s interests, shall be included in the Reimbursement Amount.

(b) In connection with any action, proceeding or investigation that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or any affiliate thereof, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with, and to take such action as directed by, the Insurer, including (without limitation) entering into such agreements and settlements as the Insurer shall direct, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Noteholder.

(c) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Insurer prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation of which a Responsible Officer has received notice or has actual knowledge that names the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as a party or that could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, a Seller, the Sponsor, the Trust or any affiliate thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Insurer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Insurer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents.

(e) Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, and the Indenture Trustee agree that the Insurer shall have such rights as set forth in this Section, which are in addition to any rights of the Insurer pursuant to the other provisions of the Basic Documents, that the rights set forth in this Section may be exercised by the Insurer, in its sole discretion, without the need for the consent or approval of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any of the other Basic Documents, and that nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Insurer to exercise any of the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 6.5. Notice of Rapid Amortization Events and Events of Servicing Termination. If a Rapid Amortization Period or an Event of Servicing Termination occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee either has actual knowledge thereof, or has received written notice of the existence thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) promptly mail to the Insurer notice of such event, and (ii) within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs, mail to each Noteholder notice of such event. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholders if and so long as one of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not withhold any such notice to the Insurer.

SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. Upon written request, the Indenture Trustee shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns required by law.

SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) Pursuant to Section 8.7 and subject to Section 6.10 herein, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time compensation as agreed to in writing between the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, in addition to the

compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel (including internal counsel), accountants and experts (including internal experts). The Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Basic Document. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article VIII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to defend the claim, the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer or, to the extent provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Anything is this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind, whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(b) The Issuer’s and the Servicer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Collateral only and shall not be recourse to any other assets of the Issuer or any assets of any Noteholder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Collateral is subject to certain priorities and limitations as specifically provided for in this Indenture.

SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Insurer by written notice. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee (approved in writing by the Insurer, so long as such approval is not unreasonably withheld) by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee (who shall deliver a copy to the Servicer and the Insurer) and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that any such successor Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Servicer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Insurer shall, remove the Indenture Trustee, if:

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

(ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state

bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs;

(iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

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

(v) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

(vi) the Indenture Trustee materially breaches any covenant or obligation under the Basic Documents.

Additionally, the Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee at the request of the Insurer.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. If the Issuer fails to appoint such a successor Indenture Trustee within 30 days, the Insurer may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 45 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, to the Insurer 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 retiring 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, the Insurer, or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may, at the expense of

the Servicer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s indemnity obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall pay any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided that such entity meets the requirements of Section 6.11 hereunder and is otherwise acceptable to the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Insurer and the Servicer with 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.

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

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied, shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust, or any

The Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.2(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel (addressed to the Indenture Trustee and to the Insurer), stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders or the Insurer in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

SECTION 9.1. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Noteholders.

(a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with the consent of the Insurer and the Class B Certificateholders, as evidenced to the Indenture Trustee, the parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, for any of the following purposes:

(i) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

(vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

(vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statue hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

(b) The parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with the prior written consent of the Insurer and with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, as evidenced to 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 such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Insurer and with the consent of the Class B Certificateholders and the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the parties hereto, 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, subject to the express rights of the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Notes affected thereby:

(i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provision of this Indenture relating

to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Collateral to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable;

(ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective Due Dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

(iii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such 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;

(vii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation); or

(viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely as to whether or not any Notes would be adversely affected by any supplemental indenture upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer to that effect and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for relying on such Opinion of Counsel in good faith.

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

Promptly after the execution by the parties hereto of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the 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.

SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel (and, if requested, an Officer’s Certificate) stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but 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 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under 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 9.5. Reference in Notes to 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 TIA as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

SECTION 9.6. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter 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 be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE X

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 10.1. Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Optional Redemption Holder pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which such Optional Redemption Holder exercises its option to transfer the Trust Property pursuant to said Section 7.01(b), for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Insurer notice of such redemption not later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.1, the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Indenture Trustee not later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit or undertake to deposit on or prior to the Redemption Date with the Indenture Trustee in the Distribution Account the Redemption Price of such Notes whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.2 (unless the Issuer shall default in the deposit of the Redemption Price).

SECTION 10.2. Surrender of Notes.

(a) Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which the Noteholders may surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Optional Redemption Holder, if the Optional Redemption Holder is exercising its right to transfer the Mortgage Loans) promptly to the Insurer, the Servicer and to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 10.03. In the event written directions are delivered to the Indenture Trustee as described in Section 10.01, the Optional Redemption Holder shall deposit in the Distribution Account on or before the Payment Date for such final distribution in immediately available funds an amount which, when added to the funds on deposit in the Collection Account that are payable to the Noteholders, will be equal to the Redemption Price for the Mortgage Loans, together with all amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the Basic Documents and to the Insurer for unpaid premiums and unreimbursed draws on the Policy and all other amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, together with interest thereon as provided under the Insurance Agreement.

(b) Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of Notes on the Payment Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Notes and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, the amount required to be distributed to Noteholders pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Indenture for such Payment Date. The distribution on such final Payment Date pursuant to a redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(B)(i) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Payment Date in respect of the Notes. On the final Payment Date prior to having made the distributions called for above, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to reimburse itself for all amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the Basic Documents and shall, based upon the information set forth in the Servicing Certificate

for such Payment Date, withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such final Payment Date and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Insurer for unpaid premiums and unreimbursed draws on the Policy and all other amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, together with interest thereon as provided under the Insurance Agreement.

(c) In the event that all of the Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Noteholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Noteholders and the Optional Redemption Holder (if the Optional Redemption Holder has exercised its right to transfer the Mortgage Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case) and shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.

SECTION 10.3. Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption supplied under Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed at least 20 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes of record, as of the Record Date for the last Payment Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date upon which final payment of the Notes will be made;

(ii) the amount of any such final distribution;

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2); and

(iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 10.4. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

SECTION 11.1. 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 and to the Insurer if the application or request is made 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 or any provision of this Agreement) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, except 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 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 11.2. 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 his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any certificate, Issuer Order or Issuer Request may be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the Manager.

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 conclusively rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.3. 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 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Insurer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, order, instruction, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a) The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be made in writing and either personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed first-class to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and any notice delivered by facsimile shall be addressed to the Corporate Trust Office, telecopy number ###-###-####, or

(b) The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or overnight courier or mailed first class, and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust 2004-3, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware ###-###-####, Telecopy: (302) 636-4140, Attention: GPHE 2004-3, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall provide a copy of any notice it receives from the Issuer or any Noteholder to the Owner Trustee for distribution to the Class B Certificateholders.

(c) The Insurer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be sufficient for any purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed by first-class mail personally delivered or telecopied to the recipient as follows:


To the Insurer:		Ambac Assurance Corporation
		One State Street Plaza
		New York, NY 10004
		Attention: Managing Director
		Telecopy: (212) 363-1459

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, delivered by overnight courier or first class or via facsimile to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10004, Fax No: (212) 533-0355 and (ii) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department, Fax No: (212) 438-2661; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

SECTION 11.5. 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 (and in all cases, the Insurer shall receive notice), at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder.

SECTION 11.6. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7. 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 TIA, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.8. 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any document delivered herewith, all persons may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal income tax treatment of the Notes, any fact relevant to understanding the federal tax treatment of the Notes, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal tax treatment.

SECTION 11.9. 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.

SECTION 11.10. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. The Insurer and its successors and assigns shall be third-party beneficiaries to the provisions of this Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly to enforce such provisions of this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Insurer, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. The Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and powers under this Indenture (in which case the Indenture Trustee may exercise such rights or powers hereunder), but not its duties and obligations under the Policy upon delivery of a written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 11.12. 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 interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.14. 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.

SECTION 11.15. 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 Issuer or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer) 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 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any Note or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the Servicer, 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 individual capacity) and except that any such 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 VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 11.17. 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 Sponsor, or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Sponsor, or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or of the Insurer, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested.

Within 15 days, the Indenture Trustee notify the Holders of the Notes of the occurrence of such event.

Upon the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event, the Sponsor shall no longer receive any principal funds upon the transfer of Additional Balances to the Trust in respect of the Additional Balance Contributed Amount but will be reimbursed to the extent of available funds from distributions on the Class G Certificates.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, hereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust 2004-3, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [ ] ($[ ]), such amount payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is $[ ] and the denominator of which is $[ ] by (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Notes pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Payment Date in [ ] (the “Final Scheduled Payment Date”). The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum provided in the Indenture on each Payment Date on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date). Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding such Payment Date or, if no interest has yet been paid, from the Closing Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. Such principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid in the manner specified on the reverse hereof.

The principal of and interest on this Note are payable 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 applied first to interest due and payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

The Notes are entitled to the benefits of a certificate guaranty insurance policy (the “Policy”) issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation (the “Insurer”), pursuant to which the Insurer has unconditionally guaranteed payments of the Insured Amounts with respect to the Notes on each Payment Date and Preference Amounts, all as more fully set forth in the Policy.

For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, the Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Sponsor and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Sponsor for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Each Noteholder by acceptance of a Note (and each owner of a beneficial interest in a Note by acceptance of such beneficial interest) agrees to treat the Notes for federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes as indebtedness of the Sponsor.

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

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A Variable Rate Asset Backed Notes, issued under an Indenture dated as of June 1, 2004 (such agreement, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. If any such terms are not defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, then such terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Trust Agreement dated as of June 1, 2004 (such trust agreement, as supplemented or amended is herein called the “Trust Agreement”), between GreenPoint Mortgage Securities LLC, as sponsor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee (the “Owner Trustee,” which term includes any successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement), as so supplemented or amended.

The Notes are and will be secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Principal of the Notes will be payable, pro rata, on each Payment Date in an amount described in the Indenture. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth (15^th) day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in August 2004. The term “Payment Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which a Rapid Amortization Event as described in Section 5.1 shall have occurred and be continuing, the

A-1-3

Insurer (so long as there is no continuing Insurer Default) shall have the right among others to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 12.1 of the Indenture and pay such amounts to the Holders of the Notes. All principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer (or upon the request of a Holder holding Notes having denominations aggregating at least $1,000,000 and received by the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check or money order or otherwise) to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Note registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Any check or money order shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purposes located in The City of New York.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Note Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates (with the consent of the Insurer under certain circumstances), on any Payment Date occurring after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance. If the holder of the majority interest in the Class B Certificates does not exercise such option, then the Notes may be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the holder of the majority interest in the Class G Certificates (with the consent of the Insurer under certain circumstances), on any Payment Date occurring after the end of a Collection Period on which the outstanding Pool Balance on such Payment Date is less than or equal to 2% of the Original Pool Balance.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
