(a)                                 The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. A Registrar (which may be the Indenture Trustee) (in such capacity, the “Registrar”) shall provide for the registration of Registered Notes and transfers and exchanges of Registered Notes as herein provided.  The Registrar shall initially be the Indenture Trustee and any co-Registrar chosen by the Issuer and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.  Any reference in this Indenture to the Registrar shall include any co-Registrar unless the context requires otherwise.  The Issuer may revoke such appointment and remove any Registrar if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that such Registrar failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect. Any Registrar shall be permitted to resign as Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and such Registrar shall continue to perform its duties as Registrar until the Issuer has appointed a successor Registrar reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.  Upon any resignation of any Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Registrar.

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

(c)                                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Registered Note at the office or agency of the Registrar, to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such surrendered Note the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes (of the same Series and Class) in authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

(d)                                 At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Registrar.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of such surrendered Note the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(e)                                  All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall evidence the same obligations, evidence the same debt, and be entitled to the same rights and privileges under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

7

(f)                                   Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee or its authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or the Registrar duly executed by, the Noteholder thereof or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require.

(g)                                  The registration of transfer of any Note shall be subject to the additional requirements, if any, set forth in the related Indenture Supplement.

(h)                                 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange of such Notes.

(i)                                     The preceding provisions of this Section 2.5 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

(j)                                    The Issuer will cause the Registrar to maintain at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee designated for such purpose, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.6                     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a)                                 If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Registrar receives evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) in case of destruction, loss or theft there is delivered to the Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Registrar, the Indenture Trustee and any authenticating agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as defined in the New York UCC), the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its authenticating agent shall authenticate and the Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been selected or called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such Note without surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered.  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 “protected purchaser” (as defined in the New York UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a “protected purchaser” (as defined in the New York UCC) and

8

shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(b)                                 Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer or the Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Registrar) connected therewith.

(c)                                  Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of an obligation of the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 2.6 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 2.7                     Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Registrar, the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indenture Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Transferor, the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.8                     Appointment of Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Noteholders from the Collection Account or applicable Series Account pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Indenture Supplement and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Issuer.  Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account or applicable Series Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Issuer may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect.  The Indenture Trustee shall be the Trust’s initial Paying Agent.  The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of a Paying Agent for the Notes, and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents, provided that it will at all times maintain the Indenture Trustee as a Paying Agent. In the event that any Paying Agent shall resign, the Issuer shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent. The Issuer shall cause each successor or additional Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an instrument as described in Section 3.3(d).  Any reference in this Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.  For so long as the Indenture Trustee shall act as Paying Agent it shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections, indemnities and immunities as the Indenture Trustee hereunder (but for the avoidance of doubt, not the obligations).

Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Notes of such Class, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of such Class and shall recognize the registered holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders under this Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the registered holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series as Noteholders of such Series hereunder. Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the Registrar.

SECTION 2.17              Special Terms Applicable to Subsequent Transfers of Certain Notes.

(a)                                 The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.  Consequently, the Notes are not transferable other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein or in the related Indenture Supplement.  No sale, pledge or other transfer of any Note (or interest therein) after the date thereof may be made by any Person unless either such sale, pledge or other transfer (i) is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Transferor in writing the facts surrounding

14

such transfer, which certification shall be in substantially the form attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement (or the relevant note purchase agreement relating to such Indenture Supplement) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of the Administrator) and the Transferor, and (B) the Indenture Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Transferor, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act and (ii) satisfies the restrictions on transfer set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement. Neither the Transferor nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to register any Notes under the Securities Act, qualify any Notes under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to any purchaser or holder thereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to the contrary, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Registrar, as the case may be, shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA, the Code or the Investment Company Act.

(b)                                 (i)                                     Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, the Notes may not be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan and, by accepting and holding a Note, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not such an entity and, if requested to do so by the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee, the Holder of a Note shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an undertaking letter in the form set forth in Exhibit A.  In the event the related Indenture Supplement provides that the Notes may be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan, the purchase, holding and disposition of such Note (or interest therein) by a Benefit Plan will be deemed a representation and warranty that such purchase, holding and disposition of the Notes will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law.

(ii)                                  If so provided in the Indenture Supplement, if the Holder of such Notes is a Plan, including any fiduciary acquiring the Notes on behalf of a Plan (“Plan Fiduciary”), the purchase, holding and disposition of such Note (or interest therein) by such Holder will be deemed a representation and warranty that:

(A)                               if any of the Issuer, the sponsor, any initial purchaser, any placement agent or any of their respective affiliated entities (the “Transaction Parties”), has provided or will provide advice with respect to the acquisition of the Notes by the Plan, it has or will provide such advice only to the Plan Fiduciary which is independent of the Transaction Parties, and the Plan Fiduciary either:

(3)                                 is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph (1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business;

(4)                                 is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act; or

(5)                                 has, and at all times that the Plan is invested in the Notes will have, total assets of at least U.S. $50,000,000 under its management or control (provided that this clause (5) shall not be satisfied if the Plan Fiduciary is either (X) the owner or a relative of the owner of an investing IRA or (Y) a participant or beneficiary or relative of such participant or beneficiary of the Plan investing in the Notes in such capacity);

(B)                               the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Plan of the Notes;

(C)                               the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Plan’s acquisition of the Notes;

(D)                               none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Plan to invest in the Notes or to negotiate the terms of the Plan’s investment in the Notes; and

(E)                                the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (X) that none of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the Plan’s acquisition of the Notes; and (Y) of the existence and nature of the Transaction Parties financial interests in the Plan’s acquisition of the Notes.

The representations in this Section 2.17(b)(ii) are intended to comply with the DOL’s Reg. Sections 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-21(a) and (c)(1) as promulgated on April 8, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 20,997).  If these regulations are revoked, repealed or no longer effective, these representations shall be deemed to be no longer in effect.

Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement; provided that if the Issuer fails to specify in an Issuer Order the Eligible Investments in which such sums shall be invested and the percentage of funds to be invested in each Eligible Investment, such sums will remain uninvested.  For all investments made by a Paying Agent under this Section 3.3, such Paying Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights and obligations of the Indenture Trustee under the related Indenture Supplement, such rights and obligations being incorporated in this paragraph by this reference.

(d)                                 The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent, in acting as Paying Agent, is an express agent of the Issuer and, further, that such Paying Agent will:

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

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

(f)                                   Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, and after such notice required with respect to Notes not surrendered for cancellation pursuant to Section 11.2(b) is given, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment

18

of any amount due with respect to any Note remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust, and the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice of such occurrence to the Issuer and shall release such money to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer (and then only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the written direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The cost of any such notice or publication shall be paid out of funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of the Noteholders, or to the extent such funds are insufficient, by the Issuer or the Servicer.  The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, delivering (in the case of Global Notes) or mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

(g)                                  The Issuer represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent that, (i) to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, the Indenture Trustee and Paying Agent are not obligated in respect of any payments to be made by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture, to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to any FATCA Withholding Tax, provided such parties have obtained the requisite information about the Noteholders; (ii) the Noteholders are required to provide information sufficient to eliminate the imposition of, or determine the amount of, FATCA Withholding Tax (the “FATCA Information”) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any Paying Agent, (iii) the Issuer shall comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payment made by it on any Note of any applicable FATCA Withholding Tax imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirement in connection therewith; and (iv) to the extent the Issuer determines that FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, it will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent of such fact.  To the extent the Issuer has the Noteholders’ information the Issuer will provide the FATCA Information to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent upon request.  Each holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Paying Agent with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the FATCA Information. In addition, each holder of a Note will be deemed to understand that the Paying Agent has the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

SECTION 3.4                     Existence.  The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any

19

successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other related instrument or agreement included in the Collateral.

SECTION 3.5                     Protection of Collateral.  (a)  The Issuer will from time to time take all actions necessary or advisable, including without limitation preparing, or causing to be prepared, executing, delivering and filing or causing to be filed all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, amendments to financing statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments to:

(i)                                     Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral as security for the Notes;

(ii)                                  maintain or preserve the Lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or to carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(iii)                               perfect, maintain perfection, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(iv)                              enforce any of the Collateral; or

(v)                                 preserve and defend title to the Collateral securing the Notes and the rights therein of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders secured thereby against the claims of all Persons and parties.

(b)                                 Authorization to File.  The Issuer hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements in all appropriate jurisdictions describing the Collateral as “all assets” of the Issuer as debtor or words of similar effect, or being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. In addition, (i) the Issuer authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator to file the initial financing statements on or about the Initial Closing Date (along with any other financing statements to be filed from time to time in connection with the Transaction Documents), and (ii) the Indenture Trustee, as secured party, authorizes the Administrator to file continuation statements, and amendments to the financing statements, in each case in the jurisdictions and with the filing offices as the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee (upon the advice of counsel) may determine necessary or advisable to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Collateral.  The Administrator (or the Indenture Trustee solely to the extent it has elected to so prepare and file) shall timely prepare and file the foregoing and will promptly deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any financing statement, continuation statement and amendment to a previously filed financing statement.

(c)                                  The Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes and designates the Administrator its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, amendment to a financing statement or continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 3.5.

20

(d)                                 The Indenture Trustee is not obligated to (i) make a determination of whether filing financing or continuation statements, or amendments to the statements is required or (ii) monitor or file any financing or continuation statements, or amendments to the statements, and will not be liable for failure to do so.

SECTION 3.6                     Opinions as to Collateral.

(a)                                 On the Series Issuance Date relating to any new Series of Notes, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (with a copy to each Rating Agency, as applicable) either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken to perfect the Lien of this Indenture, including without limitation with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements and amendments to financing statements or continuation statements, in such jurisdictions as are so necessary and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain the perfection of such Lien.

(b)                                 On or before September 30 in each calendar year, beginning in 2018, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken to perfect the Lien of this Indenture in the Receivables, including with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and amendments to financing statements as is so necessary, or, stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain the perfection of such lien and security interest.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the filing of any financing statements and amendments to financing statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the perfection of the Lien of this Indenture until September 30 in the following calendar year.  The cost of each such Opinion of Counsel required under this Section 3.6 shall be an expense of the Issuer and shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 3.7                     Performance of Obligations: Servicing of Receivables.

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

(b)                                 The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

21

SECTION 5.2                     Trust Events of Default.

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

(a)                                 An Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer or the Transferor shall have occurred;

(c)                                  default in the payment of the principal of any Note, if and to the extent not previously paid, when the same becomes due and payable on its Stated Maturity Date;

(d)                                 default in the performance or observance of (i) any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture in respect of the Notes of all Series, even if such default does not affect all Series (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the performance or observance of which is elsewhere in this Section 5.2 specifically dealt with) (all of such covenants and agreements in this Indenture which are not expressly stated to be for the benefit of a particular Series shall be considered to be for the benefit of the Notes of all Series), or (ii) any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture for the benefit of the Notes of all Series proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, which default or inaccuracy, as applicable, has an Adverse Effect on the Noteholders of all Series and continues unremedied for sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure or inaccuracy, shall have been given in writing (y) to the Issuer and the Transferor by the Indenture Trustee or any Series Enhancer, or (z) to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of any outstanding Series;

27

(e)                                  the following conditions shall have occurred: (A) a Servicer Default shall have occurred and shall not have been remedied, waived or cured, and (B) a Successor Servicer shall not have been appointed and assumed the servicing of the Receivables pursuant to a servicing agreement reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Global Majority by the date which is sixty (60) days after the date on which such Servicer Default initially occurred; or

(f)                                   the Issuer or the Transferor is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ten (10) Business Day grace period provided for in the Trust Event of Default described in paragraph (b) above shall run contemporaneously with any comparable grace period relating to the comparable covenant or obligation of the Issuer, the Transferor, or the Servicer, as applicable, to pay, transfer or deposit funds in the Transaction Documents.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, promptly, but in any event within five (5) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer of such Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 5.3                     Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a)                                 If a Trust Event of Default described in paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of Section 5.2 should occur and be continuing, then the Indenture Trustee may, or upon written direction of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of any Series, shall declare, by a notice in writing to the Issuer, all the Notes of such Series together with accrued or accreted and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration to be immediately due and payable and an Event of Default to have occurred with respect to each Series.  The Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice to the Issuer, Noteholders, Servicer and Transferor of the declaration of a Trust Event of Default promptly thereafter.

(b)                                 If a Trust Event of Default described in paragraph (a) of Section 5.2 should occur and be continuing, then the unpaid principal of the Notes of each Series, together with the accrued or accreted and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall automatically become, and shall be considered to be declared, due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Series, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences with respect to such Series.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

28

SECTION 5.4                     Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a)                                 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.5 proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders of the affected Series (or all Series, as applicable), by initiating Proceedings to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(i)                                     to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes of such Series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders of such Series, allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor;

(ii)                                  unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes of such Series in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or a Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings;

29

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

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

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

(e)                                  In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (except with respect to any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series, and it shall not be necessary to make any such Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

SECTION 5.5                     Remedies; Priorities.

(a)                                 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for any Series, and the Notes of such Series have been accelerated under Section 5.3, the Indenture Trustee may (subject to Sections 5.7 and 5.9) do one or more of the following:

(i)                                     institute Proceedings as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes of the affected Series or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer the portion of the Collateral allocated to such Series and from any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(ii)                                  sell all or a portion of the Receivables in accordance with this Indenture, in an amount not to exceed the Invested Amount for the accelerated Series, as

30

shall constitute a part of the Collateral (or rights of interest therein), at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

(iii)                               take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series;

(iv)                              at its own election or at the written direction of the Holders of more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of any affected Series, institute foreclosure Proceedings from time to time with respect to the portion of the Collateral which secures such Notes by causing the Issuer to sell Receivables with an aggregate Receivable Balance equal to the Invested Amount with respect to the accelerated Series of Notes, but only if the Indenture Trustee determines that the proceeds of such sale will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on such Notes in full;

(v)                                 at the written direction of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of each Class of the Notes of such Series, institute foreclosure Proceedings from time to time with respect to the portion of the Collateral which secures such Notes, regardless of the sufficiency of the proceeds thereof, by causing the Issuer to sell Receivables in an amount equal to the Invested Amount with respect to the accelerated Series of Notes in accordance with Section 5.16 hereof (each of the actions described in clauses (iv) and (v) a “Foreclosure Remedy”);

The remedies provided in this Section 5.5(a) are the exclusive remedies provided to the Noteholders for an Event of Default, and each of the Noteholders (by their acceptance of their respective interest in the Notes) and the Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waive any other remedy that may be available under the applicable UCC.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose, which opinion shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee.

(b)                                 If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property for a Series pursuant to this Article V following the acceleration of the maturities of the Notes for such affected Series pursuant to Section 5.3 (so long as such declaration shall not have been rescinded or annulled), it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST:  to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due pursuant to Section 6.7;

SECOND:  to Holders of Notes of such Series for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes for interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for interest according to the terms of the related Indenture Supplement;

31

THIRD:  to Holders of Notes of such Series for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes for principal, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal according to the terms of the related Indenture Supplement;

FOURTH:  to Holders of Notes of such Series for amounts, if any, that remain owing to such Holders of Notes of such Series after the applications of amounts described in SECOND and FIRST above, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts remaining due and payable on such Notes according to the terms of the related Indenture Supplement;

FIFTH:  to any Series Enhancer for such Series for amounts due and unpaid to such Series Enhancer under the Series Enhancement, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, according to the terms of the Series Enhancement; and

SIXTH:  to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

(c)                                  The Indenture Trustee may set a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders of the affected Series pursuant to this Section 5.5.  At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail or send by facsimile to each such Noteholder a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

(d)                                 In addition to the application of money or property referred to in Section 5.5(b) for an accelerated Series, amounts then held in the Collection Account or any Series Accounts for such Series and any amounts available under the Series Enhancement for such Series, following payment of any amounts due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7, shall be used to make payments to the Holders of the Notes of such Series and the Series Enhancer (if any) for such Series in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement and the Series Enhancement for such Series.  Following the sale of the Collateral (or portion thereof) for a Series and the application of the proceeds of such sale to such Series and the application of the amounts then held in the Collection Account and any Series Accounts for such Series as are allocated to such Series, such Series shall no longer be entitled to any allocation of Collections or other property constituting the Collateral under this Indenture, and the Notes of such Series shall no longer be Outstanding.

SECTION 5.6                     Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Indenture Trustee.  Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

32

The Transferor or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, and to receive from the Indenture Trustee a copy of each other bid submitted in connection with, such bidding process. The Indenture Trustee shall sell such Receivables (or interests therein) on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer as determined by the Indenture Trustee upon the advice of its independent investment advisor.  The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.5(b).

SECTION 5.17              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 or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.  Subject to Section 5.5, any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

Indenture Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and to use the same degree of care or skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; and the permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to take any action under the Transaction Documents shall not be construed as a duty to take such action;

SECTION 6.5                     May Hold Notes.  The Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent and Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar or such other agent.

The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer and the Servicer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including in connection with notices or other communications to the Noteholders, costs of collection and enforcement, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Issuer and the Servicer shall jointly and severally indemnify U.S. Bank National Association (in each of its capacities under this Indenture and the Transaction Documents) and its directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all loss, liability, claim, action, suit, damage, tax, penalty, cost, disbursement or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and including any such amount incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with (x) defending itself against any claim, legal action or proceeding and (y) the enforcement by it of any obligation of any party related to the Transaction Documents, including any action, claim, or proceeding commenced by it to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Issuer and the Servicer.  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.  Pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall defend any claim against the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and, if it does, 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 determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the Indenture Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

42

(b)                                 The Issuer’s and Servicer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.2(a) or (b) 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 Insolvency Law.

SECTION 6.8                     Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 and the payment of all amounts owed to the retiring Indenture Trustee (unless otherwise agreed by the retiring Indenture Trustee).  The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Transferor.  More than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

(b)                                 the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

(c)                                  a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property or its affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

(d)                                 the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(e)                                  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 at the direction of the Transferor shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and to the Servicer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer and the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the appointment of a successor indenture trustee shall not be effective unless the Rating Agency Condition, if

43

applicable, shall have been satisfied.  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor indenture trustee as provided in this Section 6.8, such successor indenture trustee shall provide notice of such succession hereunder to all Noteholders and the Servicer shall provide such notice to each Rating Agency, if applicable, and each Series Enhancer, if any.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer and the Servicer’s reimbursement and indemnity 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 corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.  Upon such consolidation, merger, conversion or transfer, such successor shall promptly give each Rating Agency, if applicable, written notice thereof.

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

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

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such

44

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.

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

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

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

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

(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, 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 8.1                     Collection of Money.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the related Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it in an account with the corporate trust department in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture or in the related Indenture Supplement, as applicable. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the request of the Holders of more than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim an Amortization Event or Event of Default under this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V hereof.

SECTION 8.2                     Rights of Noteholders.  The Collateral shall secure the obligations of the Issuer to pay to the Holders of the Notes of each Series principal and interest and other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. Except as specifically set forth in the Indenture Supplement with respect thereto, the Notes of any Series or Class shall not have the right to payment from any Series Account or Series Enhancement allocated for the benefit of any other Series or Class.

SECTION 8.3                     Establishment of Collection Account.

(a)                                 The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained with the Paying Agent, in the name of the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder and any Series Enhancer, a segregated non-interest bearing account that is a Qualified Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder and any Series Enhancer (the “Collection Account”). Where the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement employs the term “Collection Account” such reference shall implicitly refer to the “Collection Account”, unless explicitly otherwise provided. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all monies, instruments, investment property, documents, certificates of deposit and other property credited from time to

51

time to the Collection Account and in all proceeds, earnings, income, revenue, dividends and distributions thereof for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder and any Series Enhancer.

Except as expressly provided in this Indenture and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer agrees that it shall have no right of setoff or banker’s lien against, and no right to otherwise deduct from, any funds and other property held in the Collection Account for any amount owed to it by the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor, the Issuer, any Noteholder or any Series Enhancer. If, at any time, the Collection Account ceases to be a Qualified Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a new Collection Account meeting the conditions specified above, transfer any monies, documents, instruments, investment property, certificates of deposit and other property to such new Collection Account and from the date such new Collection Account is established, it shall be the “Collection Account.”  Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 3.01(b) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power revocable by the Issuer, to instruct the Paying Agent to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or the Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder and under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Servicer shall reduce deposits into the Collection Account payable by the Transferor on any Deposit Date to the extent the Transferor is entitled to receive funds from the Collection Account on such Deposit Date, but only to the extent such reduction would not reduce the Transferor Amount to an amount less than the Minimum Transferor Amount.

(c)                                  Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings and amounts deposited pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or Section 11.2(b) of this Indenture) shall at the written direction of the Servicer be invested by the Paying Agent in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer.  All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders pursuant to Section 6.15.  Investments of funds representing Collections collected during any Collection Period shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding each monthly Transfer Date following such Collection Period in amounts sufficient to the extent of such funds to make the required distributions on the following Payment Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment.  Funds deposited in the Collection Account on a Transfer Date with respect to the immediately succeeding Payment Date shall not be invested overnight.  On each Payment Date, any investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Transferor, except as otherwise specified in any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall bear no responsibility or liability for any losses resulting from investment or reinvestment of any funds in

52

accordance with this Section 8.3 or for the selection of Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement.

(d)                                 The Indenture Trustee shall:

(i)                                     hold each Eligible Investment that constitutes investment property through a Securities Intermediary in accordance with Section 6.15 hereof; and

(ii)                                  maintain possession of each other Eligible Investment not described in clause (i) above.

SECTION 8.4                     Collections and Allocations.

(a)                                 The Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to apply all funds on deposit in the Collection Account as described in this Article VIII and in each Indenture Supplement.  The Servicer shall deposit Collections received into the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and each Indenture Supplement.

(b)                                 Collections of Receivable Payments, Miscellaneous Payments, Loss Amounts and Recoveries will be allocated to each Series of Notes upon direction of the Servicer in accordance with this Article VIII, except as otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement for such Series, and amounts so allocated to any Series will not, except as specified in the related Indenture Supplement, be available to the Noteholders of any other Series.

(c)                                  For each Series of Notes, the Servicer shall, unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement, on each Date of Processing, make allocations to the Holders of the Notes for such Series in accordance with the allocations specified in the following clauses (i)-(iii), and the Paying Agent shall withdraw the amounts allocated to each Series from the Collection Account and deposit such amounts into the applicable Series Accounts on each Determination Date, in accordance with the written direction of the Servicer:

(i)                                     Allocations of Receivable Payments and Miscellaneous Payments.  During the Revolving Period for each Series, the Servicer shall allocate to each such Series an amount equal to the product, as determined by the Servicer, of (A) the Floating Allocation Percentage for such Series and (B) the aggregate amount of Collections of Receivable Payments and Miscellaneous Payments received during the related Collection Period.  During the Amortization Period for each Series, the Servicer shall allocate to each such Series an amount equal to the product of (A) the Fixed Allocation Percentage for such Series and (B) the aggregate amount of Collections of Receivable Payments and Miscellaneous Payments received during the related Collection Period.

(ii)                                  Allocation of Loss Amounts.  The Servicer shall allocate to each Series an amount equal to the product, as determined by the Servicer, of (A) the Floating Allocation Percentage for such Series and (B) the aggregate amount of Loss Amounts received during the related Collection Period.

(iii)                               Allocation of Recoveries.  The Servicer shall allocate to each Series an amount equal to the product, as determined by the Servicer, of (A) the Floating Allocation Percentage for such Series and (B) the aggregate amount of Recoveries received during the related Collection Period.

(d)                                 To the extent that a Series is designated as a Sharing Series in a Group, Shared Collections with respect to all Sharing Series in such Group for any Payment Date will be allocated to such Series, and deposited into the relevant Series Accounts, in an amount equal to the product, as determined by the Servicer, of (x) the aggregate amount of Shared Collections with respect to all the Sharing Series in such Group for such Payment Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Collections Shortfall for such Series for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Collections Shortfalls for all the Sharing Series in such Group for such Payment Date.

On each Determination Date, after the amounts of all allocations have been determined (i) with respect to all outstanding Series and (ii) as provided for in any applicable Indenture Supplement, the Servicer may, with the consent of each Transferor, allocate any amounts which would otherwise be payable to the Transferor at such Transferor’s direction to one or more of the outstanding Series subject to the following conditions:

(A)                               (i) on or before the Determination Date immediately preceding such allocation, the Servicer shall have given the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency that has rated any Series or Class of Notes within the applicable Group, if applicable, written notice of such allocation; and (ii) for any Series or Class of Notes within the applicable Group that has been rated, if applicable, the applicable Rating Agency Condition, if any, shall have been satisfied with respect to such allocation; and

ARTICLE XI

The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust in an account with the corporate trust department for the benefit of such Noteholders, and the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if certificated (and any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Supplement and Series Enhancement, if any, for such Series or Class).  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 Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer any monies or property held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years.  After payment to the Transferor, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Transferor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

SECTION 11.3              Transferor’s Termination Rights.  Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall assign and convey to the Holder of the Equity Certificate or any of their designees, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in the Receivables and the Related Rights, whether then existing or thereafter created, all Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto (including all moneys then held in the Collection Account or any Series Account) and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2(b).  The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared and reasonably requested by the Transferor to

60

vest in the Holder of the Equity Certificate or any of their designees all right, title and interest which the Indenture Trustee had in the Collateral and such other property.

SECTION 12.2              Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a)                                 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

62

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.

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 12.3              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 an agent duly appointed in writing and satisfying any requisite percentages as to minimum number or dollar value of outstanding principal amount represented by such Noteholders; 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.
