(a) The Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in the Series Supplement, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other

7 variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture or the Series Supplement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

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

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding at any time under this Indenture is not limited; provided that the Series Supplement may so limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes shall be issued in a series, and may be issued in Classes and/or Tranches within such series (and Tranches within a Class).

No Notes shall be issued under this Indenture unless such Notes have been authorized pursuant to the Series Supplement, and all conditions precedent to the issuance thereof, as specified in the Series Supplement, shall have been satisfied.

All Notes issued under this Indenture shall be in all respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof and secured by the Series Trust Estate without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and the Series Supplement.

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 issuance date of such Notes.

The Notes shall be issuable in the denominations specified in the Series Supplement.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or the Series Supplement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears attached to such Note a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Series Supplement, executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of

one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate attached to any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes of any Class or Tranche, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order prepared and delivered by the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes of any Class or Tranche are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes of such Class or Tranche to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes of such Class or Tranche, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes of such Class or Tranche upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of such Class or Tranche of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes of any Class or Tranche shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and the Series Supplement as Definitive Notes of such Class or Tranche.

SECTION 2.4 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 prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. 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 Tranche, as applicable, 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 of any Class or Tranche may be exchanged for other Notes of such Class or Tranche in any authorized denominations of the same Class (and Tranche, if applicable) 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 written 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 and the Series Supplement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Unless specified in the Series Supplement, every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall, unless specified in the Series Supplement, be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached as an exhibit to the Note duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“Stamp”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp, 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.

Notwithstanding, the preceding provisions of this section, the Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Note Registrar shall not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption for a period of 15 days preceding the Distribution Date.

The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Definitive Note unless the transferee has executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certification, in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to the effect that either (i) the transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement

Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or (B) a plan (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each of the foregoing, a “Plan”), and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan or (ii) that the transferee’s acquisition and continued holding of the Definitive Note will be covered by a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Each Note Owner that purchases a Book-Entry Note, or to whom a Book-Entry Note is transferred, shall be deemed to represent that either (i) it is not a Plan and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan or (ii) its acquisition and continued holding of the Book-Entry Note will be covered by a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.

No Holder of an Unregistered Note shall transfer its Note, unless (i) such transfer is made in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available) and the registration and qualification requirements under applicable state securities laws.

Each Unregistered Note issued hereunder will contain the following legend limiting sales to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act:

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE.

SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is

delivered to each of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) 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 written 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 of the same Class or Tranche (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 pursuant to the terms of the Series Supplement, 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.

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 and the Series Supplement 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 2.6 Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of Issuer or the Indenture Trustee 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

The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the form of Note set forth in the Series Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Notes are declared to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Series Supplement. Upon written notice from the Master Servicer on behalf of 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 Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid.

No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time.

The Notes, upon original issuance, may be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company or its agent, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes may 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 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(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;

(iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants;

(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes or in the Notes of a Class, as the case maybe, and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee; and

(vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or, if applicable, on the Indenture Trustee’s web-site specified in the Series Supplement.

With respect to any Notes which are Book Entry Notes, whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If any Notes are Book-Entry Notes and if (i) the Master Servicer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Notes, and the Master Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Master Servicer at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and upon the written direction of the Issuer the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

SECTION 2.13 Final Distribution.

(a) The Master Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least 15 days prior written notice of the Distribution Date (or other date) on which the Noteholders of any Class may surrender their Notes for payment of the final distribution on and cancellation of such Notes. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to the Noteholders of such Class specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of such Class will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes (if required) of such Class at the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein specified. Unless it is serving in the related functions, the Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

(b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Class, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and the Trust Accounts shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such Noteholders, and the Note Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes. In the event that all such Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee described in paragraph (a), the Indenture Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such 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 such Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent shall upon written request pay to the Issuer any moneys held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general unsecured creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Insurer under the Note Policy, the Indenture Trustee or such Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

36 Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Series Supplement or the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request.

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

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

(j) Anything in this Indenture or any supplement hereto 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.

(k) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default, Event of Default or Master Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual notice thereof.

(l) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Trust Account (including, without limitation, the Reserve Account and the Collection Account or any subaccount thereof) held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein.

SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Series Supplement, the Series Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture, in the Series Supplement or

in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer in writing and mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. 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 Noteholders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

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

SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) As payable in the Series Supplement, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Master Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time the Indenture Trustee Fee as compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Master Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, outside counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Master Servicer to 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. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Master Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Master Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Master Servicer of its obligations under Article XII of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall defend or shall cause the Master Servicer to defend any claim for indemnity that may arise against the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall or shall cause the Master Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Master Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through such Person’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(b) The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the

discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture, the Basic Documents, the Series Supplement or any Related Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Master Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Series Supplement or any Related Documents, shall be recourse to the Series Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of any Securityholder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the Series Trust Estate, the Seller and amounts held pursuant to the Series Support shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions as provided for in the payment priority provisions of the Series Supplement.

SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may, and in the circumstances specified in subparagraph (i) shall, resign at any time upon 60 days’ prior written notice by so notifying the Issuer, the Insurer, Holders of a majority of Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the Master Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) upon 60 days’ written notice. The Issuer may, with the consent of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and shall, at the direction of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) or the Noteholders, 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 rating assigned to the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee by the Rating Agencies shall be lowered below the rating of “BBB”, “Baa2” or equivalent rating or be withdrawn by either of the Rating Agencies.

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 deliver a written notice of such removal, resignation or vacancy to the Master Servicer and the Insurer, and the Master Servicer may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party). If the Master Servicer fails to appoint such a successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) or a resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the Indenture Trustee shall also resign or be removed, as the case may be, as Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent.

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 the Basic Documents. 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 the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder or the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Master Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring 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 its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided that such corporation or banking association shall otherwise be eligible under Section 6.11 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall

provide the Rating Agencies and the Insurer with written notice of any such transaction as soon as practical thereafter.

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

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

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party), 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 Series Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such title to the Series Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof. The cost and expense of such co-trustee or co-trustees, and/or separate trustee or separate trustees, shall be a cost and expense of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(ii) of the Series Supplement.

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

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

41 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

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

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

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

SECTION 6.11 Eligibility: Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times: satisfy TIA § 310(a), have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and have a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB”, “Baa2” or equivalent rating from each of the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants to the Issuer as follows:

(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 Series Trust Estate or,

except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein or in the Series Supplement or the Related 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.

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

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such amendment. 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 amendment.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Insurer’s prior written consent so long as the Insurer is the Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless directed by the Insurer in writing so long as the Insurer is the Controlling Party, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Series Trust Estate

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture or the Series Supplement 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;

(b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture and the Series Supplement, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture or the Series Supplement, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the property or securities to be so deposited.

(ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, that such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Repurchased Receivables or Liquidated Receivables (as such terms are defined in the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement), whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture and the Series Supplement, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture and the Series Supplement in contravention of the provisions hereof.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

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 Master Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

Whenever in this Indenture or the Series Supplement, 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

53 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.

(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

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

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

(a) The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed first-class and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, 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 be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: Household Automotive Trust 2003-2, in care of the Owner Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, with a copy to U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, 400 North Michigan Avenue, 2nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60611, Telecopier # (302) 836-6701. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, 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) 553-0355, (ii) in the case of S&P, at the following

address: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department, Fax No: (212) 438-2649 and (iii) in the case of Fitch, Inc., at the following address: One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004, Fax No. (212) 480-4438; 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 or the Series Supplement provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, the Series Supplement 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 or the Series Supplement for such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) (which consent, in each case, 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. Any additional costs and expenses incurred

by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be a cost and expense of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(ii) of the Series Supplement.

SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and if any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA §§ 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.

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, the Series Supplement shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Master Servicer in this Indenture or the Series Supplement shall bind its successors and assigns.

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. Nothing in this Indenture or the Series Supplement or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Insurer and its successors, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part of the Series Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Insurer is a third-party beneficiary hereof and the Insurer shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce the provisions of this Indenture for so long as the Insurer is the Controlling Party; provided that nothing herein shall affect or limit the Insurer’s rights as subrogee to the Noteholders.

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, this Indenture or the Series Supplement) 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 an 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

56 YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, 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 or the Series Supplement 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 Trust or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the Series Supplement.

SECTION 11.16 Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or the Series Supplement or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Master 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 Seller, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Master 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 Seller, or the Issuer, or join in, cooperate with or encourage others in connection with the institution against the Seller, 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 or any of the Related Documents.

SECTION 11.18 Limited Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Related Documents to the contrary, the Notes constitute limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and are limited in recourse to the Series Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture and the Series Supplement, and each Noteholder agree that recourse for the Notes is limited to the Series Trust Estate and, if the Series Trust Estate shall prove to be insufficient to pay amounts due under the Notes, the Noteholders shall have no claim against the assets of the Issuer or the Seller other than the Series Trust Estate.

(b) If, notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, the Noteholders are deemed to have any interest in any asset of the Seller other than the Seller’s interest in the Series Trust Estate, including any interest in assets of the Seller pledged to secure debt obligations of the Seller other than the Notes, the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture and the Series Supplement, and each Noteholder agree that any such interest is subordinate to the claims of the holders of any such debt obligations, and the Noteholders shall have no rights in such assets until such other debt obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. The agreement of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 11.18(b) is intended to constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 11.19 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent 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. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its Obligations hereunder.
