If Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche are issuable in whole or in part as Bearer Notes, any Action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by such Noteholders may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of such Noteholders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Section 904, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such Action will 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 any such record (and the Action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 801) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 102.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(ii) The ownership of Bearer Notes or coupons will be proved by the production of such Bearer Notes or coupons or by a certificate, satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer, as depositary, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Issuer. Each such certificate will be dated and will state that on the date thereof a Bearer Note or coupon bearing a specified serial number was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer by the Person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Bearer Notes or coupons specified therein. The holding by the Person named in any such certificate of any Bearer Note specified therein will be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (A) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Note or coupon is produced, (B) the Bearer Note or

coupon specified in such certificate is produced by some other Person or (C) the Bearer Note or coupon specified in such certificate has ceased to be Outstanding.

(d) The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing, the authority of the Person executing the same and the principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Notes held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient; and the Indenture Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

(e) If the Issuer will solicit from the Holders any Action, the Issuer may, at its option, by an Officer’s Certificate and consistent with the Trust Indenture Act, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such Action, but the Issuer will have no obligation to do so. If the Issuer does not so fix a record date, such record date will be the later of thirty (30) days before the first solicitation of such Action or the date of the most recent list of Noteholders furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 901 before such solicitation. Such Action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date will be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such Action, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding will be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date will be deemed effective unless it will become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

(f) Any Action by the Holder of any Note will bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done 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.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any Action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or Action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 or pursuant to one or more Indenture Supplements, a Holder, including a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any such Global Note through such Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices.

(i) The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any Global Note

held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such Action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such Action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

Section 103. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee and Issuer. Any Action of Noteholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or sent via facsimile transmission to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Subsection 701(c)) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

Section 104. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for the written statement required by Section 1105) will include:

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(b) 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;

(c) a statement that such individual has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

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

Section 105. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Registered Note provides for notice to Registered Noteholders of any event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Registered Note expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or personally delivered to each Holder of a Registered Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in 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 Registered Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery neither the failure to mail, send by facsimile, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholders will

affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given.

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

(b) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it will be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder of a Registered Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(c) No notice will be given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise delivered to a Holder of Bearer Notes or coupons in bearer form. In the case of any Series, Class or Tranche with respect to which any Bearer Notes are Outstanding, any notice required or permitted to be given to Holders of such Bearer Notes will be published in an Authorized Newspaper within the time period prescribed in this Indenture or the applicable Indenture Supplement.

(d) With respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the applicable Indenture Supplement may specify different or additional means of giving notice to the Holders of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

(e) Where this Indenture provides for notice to any Note Rating Agency, failure to give such notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and will not under any circumstance constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 106. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with another provision (an “incorporated provision”) included in this Indenture by operation of, Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated provision will control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision will be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

Section 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and will not affect the construction hereof.

Section 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer will bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 109. Severability of Provisions. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in any Notes, express or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, Derivative Counterparties (to the extent specified in the applicable Derivative Agreement), Supplemental Credit Enhancement Providers and Supplemental Liquidity Providers (each to the extent specified in the applicable Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement and Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, as applicable) and the Holders of Notes (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 111. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE.

Section 112. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 204 or of Section 305, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 305, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Note selected or approved by the Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

(c) With respect to Notes issued within the United States, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, or with respect to Notes issued outside the United States, if specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement:

(i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such Series, Class or Tranche ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer will appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note. If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of an authentication order requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of a written request by the Issuer for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of such Global Note or Notes representing such Series, Class or Tranche or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, exchanges of beneficial interests in or security entitlements to Temporary Global Notes for beneficial interests in or security entitlements to Permanent Global Notes will be made as provided in this clause. The Beneficiary will, upon its determination of the date of completion of the distribution of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, so advise the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Foreign Depository, and each foreign clearing agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not prior to the Exchange Date, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee at the office of its designated agent outside the United States Permanent Global Notes in bearer or registered form (as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. Bearer Notes so issued and delivered may have coupons attached. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global Notes only on or after the Exchange Date. A United States Person may exchange its beneficial interest in or security entitlement to the Temporary Global Note only for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global Notes in registered form bearing the applicable legend set forth in the form of Registered Note attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement and having a minimum denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if the Issuer so elects. The Issuer may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if it so elects. Upon any demand for exchange for Permanent Global Notes in accordance with this clause, the Issuer will cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Permanent Global Notes to the Holder (x) outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Notes and (y) according to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Notes, but in either case only upon presentation to the Indenture Trustee of a written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine) with respect to the Temporary Global Note, or portion thereof being exchanged, signed by a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository and dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the Temporary Global Note, or a portion thereof being exchanged, by a United States qualified institutional buyer pursuant to this clause, the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine) signed by the beneficial owner which sold the relevant Notes or (ii) in all other cases, the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine), the certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being dated on the earlier of the first payment of interest in respect of such Note and the date of the delivery of such Note in definitive form. Upon receipt of such certification, the Indenture

Trustee will cause the Temporary Global Note to be endorsed in accordance with clause (d). Any exchange as provided in this Section will be made free of charge to the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Temporary Global Note and to the beneficial owners of the Permanent Global Note issued in exchange, except that a Person receiving the Permanent Global Note must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person does not receive such Permanent Global Note in person at the offices of a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository.

(c) The delivery to the Indenture Trustee by a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository of any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or certifications has or have been delivered to such foreign clearing agency pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Temporary Global Note for a Permanent Global Note or Notes, such Temporary Global Note will be endorsed by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Permanent Global Note or Notes. Until so exchanged in full, such Temporary Global Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Permanent Global Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Notes until they have exchanged their beneficial interests or security entitlements to such Temporary Global Note for Permanent Global Notes.

Section 206. Beneficial Ownership of Global Notes. Until definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Noteholders pursuant to Section 204 or as otherwise specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement:

(a) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners; and

(b) the rights of the respective Note Owners will be exercised only through the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the clearing agency or Depository and/or the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants. Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable clearing agency, unless and until Notes in definitive form are issued pursuant to Section 204, the clearing agency or Depository will make book-entry transfers among the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Notes to such clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants.

For purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the clearing agency and the clearing agency’s

participants) owning interests in or security entitlements to Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes.

Section 207. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which book-entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Notes in definitive form will have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will give all such notices and communications to the applicable clearing agency or Depository.

Section 304. Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, the Issuer may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by Section 303, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Issuer may determine, as evidenced by the Issuer’s execution of such Notes.

Any such register will be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers will be available for inspection by the Indenture Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer as provided in Section 1103.

(b) Subject to Section 204, upon surrender for transfer of any Registered Note of any Series, Class or Tranche at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, and, upon receipt

of such surrendered Note, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Maturity Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms.

Registered Notes, including Registered Notes received in exchange for Bearer Notes, may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes.

Each Bearer Note surrendered pursuant to this Section will have attached thereto all unmatured coupons; provided, however, that any Bearer Note so surrendered after the close of business on the last day of the month preceding the relevant Payment Date need not have attached the coupon relating to such Payment Date. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver (in the case of Bearer Notes, outside the United Sates), the Notes which the Noteholders making the exchange are entitled to receive.

(d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange will (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly indorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the Note to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge will be made on any Noteholder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may (unless otherwise provided in such Note) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes before the transfer or exchange will be complete, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 not involving any transfer.

(g) None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on (A) if Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche are issuable only as Registered Notes, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche so selected for redemption or (B) if Notes of the Series, Class or Tranche are issuable as Bearer Notes, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Notes of

the Series, Class or Tranche are also issuable as Registered Notes and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof so selected for redemption.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exchange of Bearer Notes into Registered Notes shall be subject to applicable laws and regulations in effect at the time of exchange; none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall exchange any Bearer Notes into Registered Notes if it has received an Opinion of Counsel that as a result of such exchanges the Issuer or the Beneficiary would suffer adverse consequences under the United States federal income tax laws and regulations then in effect and the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Issuer Certificate directing the Indenture Trustee not to make such exchanges unless and until the Indenture Trustee receives a subsequent Issuer Certificate to the contrary. The Issuer shall deliver copies of such Issuer Certificates to the Note Registrar.

(i) None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Note Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership.

(j) The Issuer initially appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as Note Registrar for the Registered Notes on its behalf. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Note Registrar in place of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes issued under this Indenture.

(k) Registration of transfer of Notes containing the following legend or to which the following legend is applicable:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS. THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.”

will be effected only if such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act other than Rule 144A under the Securities Act or Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, any requirements to transfer notes that have not been registered under the Securities Act, including any forms of transferor or transferee certifications, will be contained in the Terms Document relating to such notes.

Notes issued upon registration or transfer of, or Notes issued in exchange for, Notes bearing the legend referred to above will also bear such legend unless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note (together, in the case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, or the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them 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 protected purchaser, the Issuer will execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver (in the case of Bearer Notes, outside the United States), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, Series, Class or Tranche, Expected Maturity Date, Legal Maturity Date and Stated Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer shall, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

(b) Subject to clause (a), each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note will carry the rights to interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other Note.

(c) The right of any Noteholder to receive interest on or principal of any Note shall be subject to any applicable withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law, including foreign withholding and deduction. Any amounts properly so withheld or deducted shall be treated as actually paid to the appropriate Noteholder.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Title to any Bearer Note, including any coupons appertaining thereto, shall pass by delivery. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Beneficiary and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Beneficiary may treat the Person who is proved to be the owner of such Note pursuant to Subsection 102(c) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Beneficiary, nor any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Beneficiary will be affected by notice to the contrary.

provided, however, that any one of the aforementioned conditions may be eliminated or modified as a condition precedent to any new issuance of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes if the Issuer has obtained approval from each applicable Note Rating Agency.

(b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to provide prior notice to or to obtain the consent of any Noteholder of any Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche to issue any additional Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche.

(c) There are no restrictions on the timing or amount of any additional issuance of Notes of an Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, so long as the conditions described in this Section 310 and any provisions relating to required subordination in the applicable Indenture Supplement are met or waived. As of the date of any additional issuance of Notes of an Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Series, Class or Tranche will be increased to reflect the principal amount of the additional Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, if the additional Notes are part of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as applicable, for which all previously issued Notes in such Series, Class or Tranche have the benefit of a Derivative Agreement, the Issuer will enter into a Derivative Agreement for the benefit of the additional Notes. In addition, if the additional Notes

are part of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as applicable, for which all previously issued Notes in such Series, Class or Tranche have the benefit of any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or any Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, the Issuer will enter into a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, as applicable, for the benefit of the additional Notes. Furthermore, the targeted deposits, if any, to any applicable Issuer Account will be increased proportionately to reflect the principal amount of the additional Notes.

When issued, the additional Notes of a Tranche will be identical in all respects to the other Outstanding Notes of that Tranche and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement applicable to the previously issued Notes of such Tranche, as the other Outstanding Notes of that Tranche without preference, priority or distinction.

Section 311. Specification of Required Subordinated Amount and other Terms with Respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes.

(a) The applicable Indenture Supplement for each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes will specify the manner of calculating the Required Subordinated Amount of each Subordinated Class or Tranche of Notes, if any.

(b) The Issuer may change the Required Subordinated Amount or method of computing such amount for any Class or Tranche of Notes at any time, to the extent and subject to the conditions in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

Section 402. Issuer Accounts.

(a) On or before the date hereof, the Issuer shall cause to be established one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts (each such account together with any successor account, a “Collections Account” and collectively, the “Collections Accounts”) in the name of the Indenture Trustee and for which the Indenture Trustee is the customer of the deposit bank, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. All collections and distributions received pursuant to Section 401 shall be deposited into the Collections Account. From time to time in connection with the issuance of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Issuer may cause the Indenture Trustee to establish one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts denominated as “Issuer Accounts” in the name of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other assets deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.

The Collections Account and any Issuer Account shall be under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106, as applicable, of the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Collections Account or any Issuer Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Issuer shall notify each applicable Note Rating Agency thereof and shall within 10 Business Days of knowledge or notice of the ineligibility (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each applicable Note Rating Agency (other than Moody’s, which has requested notification rather than a consent right) may consent in writing) establish a new Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments from such Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable, to such new Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable. From the date each such new Collections Account is established, it shall be the “Collections Account.” From the date each such new Issuer Account is established, it shall be an “Issuer Account.” Any Issuer Account will receive deposits as set forth herein, in the Indenture and in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

(b) All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders out of funds in the Issuer Accounts pursuant to this Indenture and any Indenture

The Issuer may authorize the Indenture Trustee to make specific investments pursuant to written instructions, in such amounts as the Issuer will specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, funds held by the Indenture Trustee in any of the Issuer Accounts will be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature in each case no later than the date on which such funds in the Issuer Accounts are scheduled to be transferred or distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture (or as necessary to provide for timely payment of principal or interest on the applicable Payment Date).

(b) All funds deposited from time to time in the Issuer Accounts pursuant to this Indenture and all Permitted Investments made with such funds will be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Collateral as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth herein. Funds and other property in any of the Issuer Accounts will not be commingled with any other funds or property of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(i) The Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and any Additional Collateral Certificate shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) All Permitted Investments that constitute investment property or that the applicable securities intermediary is otherwise willing to credit to an Issuer Account shall be held in an Issuer Account with a securities intermediary that shall agree with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that (A) such investment property or other assets at all times shall be credited to a securities account of the Indenture Trustee, (B) all property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (C) such securities intermediary shall treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such securities account, (D) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without the further consent of any other person or entity, (E) such securities intermediary shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee, (F)

such securities account and all property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through such securities intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee) (and other than fees and expenses of the securities intermediary relating to the applicable Issuer Account), (G) such agreement between such securities intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (H) the State of New York shall be the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, that any such Permitted Investment that would constitute an interest in a trust, partnership or limited liability company shall not be held in an Issuer Account with a securities intermediary but shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee or duly endorsed in blank.

(iii) All instruments not credited to an Issuer Account shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York duly endorsed in blank;

(e) On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Collections Account will be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.01 of the Trust Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the related Indenture Supplement, for purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Issuer Accounts for any reason under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, interest and earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

Subject to Section 801(c) of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Issuer Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms.

(f) Funds on deposit in the Issuer Accounts will be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the Indenture Trustee will from time to time determine, but only in one or more Permitted Investments, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions to the Indenture Trustee, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds on deposit in the Issuer Accounts in accordance with Section 403(a); or

(b) the Holders of more than 25% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in the name of the Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Section 707. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest; Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the

principal of and interest on such Note on the Legal Maturity Date expressed in the related Indenture Supplement and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be without recourse to any Seller, Beneficiary, Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliate, officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be subject to Article V and the allocation, payment and subordination provisions of the applicable Indenture Supplement and limited to amounts available from the Collateral pledged to secure the Notes.

Section 708. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 709. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 710. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 711. Control by Noteholders. The Majority Holders of any affected Series, Class or Tranche will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, provided that:

(a) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and

(b) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action permitted hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 712. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of more than 66²/₃% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche waive any past default hereunder or under the related Indenture Supplement with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:

(a) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of such Series, Class or Tranche, or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 713. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof will be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section will not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Legal Maturity Date expressed in such Note.

Section 714. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VIII

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 801. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes of which it has knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement. If any Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has knowledge has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Issuer of any lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable requirements of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement discovered by the Indenture Trustee and if not promptly corrected by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction shall give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of any such lack of conformity that would entitle a specified percentage of the Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche to take any action pursuant to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

(c) Subject to Section 801(a) no provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes materially adversely affected by the matter to which such action relates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture;

(iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default referred to in Section 701(d) or with knowledge of any Early Redemption Event described in Sections 1201(d) unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such Event of Default or Early Redemption Event or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such Event of Default or Early Redemption Event from any Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 10% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes materially adversely affected thereby; and

(iv) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any loss attributable to the investment of funds in any Permitted Investment pursuant to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the payment of interest on any funds in its possession, except as expressly provided in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Note Issuance Trust in any Collateral or to impair the value of any Collateral now existing or hereafter created.

(f) Except as provided in this Indenture (including in Section 1306) or an applicable Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee shall have no power to vary the Trust Estate including, without limitation, the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation for a Collateral Certificate initially assigned by the Note Issuance Trust under the Granting Clause hereof or under an Assignment of Additional Assets, (ii) add any other investment, obligation or security to the Note Issuance Trust, or (iii) withdraw from the Note Issuance Trust any Collateral, except for a withdrawal permitted under Section 1412.

(g) In the event that the Paying Agent shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated promptly to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(h) Any action, suit or proceeding brought in respect of one or more particular Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall have no effect on the Indenture Trustee’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes not the subject of such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 802. Notice of Defaults

(a) Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche,

(i) the Indenture Trustee will transmit by mail to all Registered Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Indenture Trustee,

(ii) the Indenture Trustee will notify all Holders of Bearer Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, by publication of notice of such default in an Authorized Newspaper, or as otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, and

provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of such Series, Class or Tranche, the Indenture Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche; provided further, however, that the Indenture Trustee will give notice of any such default to Standard & Poor’s notwithstanding any determination to withhold such notice from the applicable Noteholders. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default,” with respect to Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Section 803. Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 801:

(a) The Indenture Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accordance with, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Indenture by the proper party or parties;

(b) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement;

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless (i) requested in writing so to do by Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes which could be materially adversely affected if the Indenture Trustee does not make such investigation and (ii) the Indenture Trustee receives indemnification from the Noteholders that is reasonably satisfactory to it for costs of such investigation or the Indenture Trustee is otherwise reasonably assured of payment of such costs;

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

(g) the Indenture Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing statements or continuation statements in connection with the Notes, but will cooperate with the Issuer in connection with the filing of such financing statements or continuation statements; and

(h) the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

Section 804. Indenture Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Notes. The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes). Except as set forth in Section 820, the Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or of the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes) or of any Collateral Certificate or related document. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate in respect of any Collateral Certificate or any deficiency in amounts deposited in any Issuer Accounts by the Issuer.

Section 805. Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights with respect to such Notes as it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee.

Section 806. Beneficiary to Pay Indenture Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, covenants and agrees to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Indenture Trustee, and Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, will pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee (without reimbursement from any Issuer Account or otherwise) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. Discover Bank’s obligations, as Beneficiary, under this Section shall survive the termination of the Note Issuance Trust and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following an Event of Default for any Notes Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, fails to or is unable to pay such reasonable compensation or to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for such reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, the Indenture Trustee shall have a claim against the Issuer for such amounts subject to the priority set forth in Section 703.

Section 807. Beneficiary Indemnification of Indenture Trustee. Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, will indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee for any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or other expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against the Indenture Trustee (whether or not indemnified against by other parties) incurred by reason of its acceptance of the appointment hereunder. Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, shall also indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or other expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against the Indenture Trustee (whether or not indemnified against by other parties) arising out of any acts or omissions of Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, or the Issuer, as applicable, hereunder including, without limitation, acts or omissions of Discover Bank, as Beneficiary (including in its roles as Calculation Agent and Depositor) relating to the administration of the Note Issuance Trust, the collection of payments due under the Notes, the preparation of reports and other information with respect to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust, the execution and delivery of any documents relating to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust, and the registration or filing of any document with the Commission, the Internal Revenue Service or any other securities or tax authority of any jurisdiction with respect to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust; provided, however, that Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, shall not indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury results from fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or willful misconduct by the Indenture Trustee or from action taken by the Indenture Trustee at the request of the Noteholders. Discover Bank’s obligations, as Beneficiary, under this Section shall survive the termination of the Note Issuance Trust and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following an Event of Default for any Notes Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, fails to or is unable to provide such

indemnification to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall have a claim against the Issuer for such amounts subject to the priority set forth in Section 703.

Section 808. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Indenture Trustee has or will acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture Trustee will, if so required by the Trust Indenture Act, either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. Nothing herein will prevent the Indenture Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 809. Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times: (i) be a bank or trust company in good standing, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; (ii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; (iii) have a long-term debt rating from Moody’s of at least Baa3 and from Standard & Poor’s of at least BBB-; provided that, in the case of a bank or trust company which is the principal subsidiary in a holding company system, the rating referred to above shall be the rating of the bank or trust company in such system; and (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority.

The Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Issuer, serve as Indenture Trustee. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 809, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 810.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(b) If at any time the Indenture Trustee:

(i)

shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 809 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer; or

	(ii)		the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series, Class or Tranche for at least six (6) months; or

	(iii)		if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

			then the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 810 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 811 hereof. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Note Rating Agencies of any resignation or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of any successor trustee.

Section 811. Successor Trustee.

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 810 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder and under any Indenture Supplement, with like effect as if originally named as Indenture Trustee herein. The predecessor Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents and statements held by it hereunder; and 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 trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 811 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 809 hereof.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 811, such successor trustee shall notify all Noteholders of such succession hereunder.

Section 812. Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee. Any Person into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Indenture

Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 809 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Note Rating Agency of the occurrence of any such event.

Section 813. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Note Issuance Trust 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 Note Issuance Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Note Issuance Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 813, 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 809 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 811 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 applicable 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 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 Section 813. 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 and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Issuer and the Note Rating Agencies.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee as 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 to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement 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 814. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. If and when the Indenture Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein.

Section 815. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes of such Series, Classes or Tranches issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Notes so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will be acceptable to the Issuer and will at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer itself, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 815, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 815, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 815. The initial Authenticating Agent for the Notes of all Series, Classes and Tranches will be U.S. Bank National Association.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation will be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which will be acceptable to the Issuer and will give notice to each Noteholder as provided in Section 105. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Issuer from time to time) reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 806.

If an appointment with respect to one or more Series, Classes or Tranches is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes of such Series, Classes or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in place of the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, an alternate Certificate of Authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Notes of the Series, Classes or Tranches designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 816. Tax Returns. In the event the Note Issuance Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Issuer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent

public accountants to prepare any tax returns required to be filed by the Note Issuance Trust and shall remit such returns to the Owner Trustee or Beneficiary for signature at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. The Issuer shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such information to the Indenture Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Issuer, the Calculation Agent and any Beneficiary with all such information known to the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Note Issuance Trust, and shall, upon request, execute such returns. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Note Issuance Trust or the Noteholders arising under any tax law, including, without limitation, federal, state, local or foreign income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith).

Section 817. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes will then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise) will be entitled and empowered by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 707) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) to collect and receive any funds or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee, and in the event that the Indenture Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 807, subject, in each case, to Section 703.

Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to 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.

Section 818. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement 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 Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

Section 819. Suits for Enforcement.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 711, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.

(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to 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 Noteholder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 820. Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants and any successor trustee shall represent and warrant that:

(a) The Indenture Trustee is organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America;

(b) The Indenture Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Indenture, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture; and

Section 821. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Indenture Trustee will maintain at its expense (a) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in Chicago, Illinois in the case of Registered Notes and (b) in the case of Bearer Notes in London, if and for so long as any Bearer Notes are outstanding, an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement may be served. The Indenture Trustee initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee as the office for such purposes in Chicago, Illinois and the New York office of the Indenture Trustee located at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005 for such purposes in New York. The Indenture Trustee will give prompt

written notice to the Issuer and to the Noteholders of any change in the location of the Note Register or any such office or agency.

Section 822. Requests for Agreement. A copy of the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request in writing to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office and will be provided at the expense of the Issuer.

(a) not more than fifteen (15) days after each Record Date, in each year in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, a list of the names and addresses of the Registered Noteholders of such Series, Classes or Tranches as of such date, and

(b) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days before the time such list is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished.

Section 902. Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.

(a) The Indenture Trustee will preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 901 and the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 901 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) If three (3) or more Holders of Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) (or, if there are less than three (3) such Holders, all of the Holders) apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and furnish to the Indenture Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Note of such Series, Class or Tranche for a period of at least six (6) months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or with the Holders of all Notes with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee will, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Subsection 902(a), or

(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Notes, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Subsection 902(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such

Noteholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Indenture Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Registered Note of such Series, Class or Tranche or to all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Subsection 902(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Indenture Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five (5) days after such tender, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Noteholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement will specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Indenture Trustee will mail copies of such material to all Registered Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Indenture Trustee will be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Notes are not then registered under the Exchange Act, any decision of the Indenture Trustee shall be final.

(c) Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee will be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes in accordance with Subsection 902(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Indenture Trustee will not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Subsection 902(b).

Section 903. Reports by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The term “reporting date” as used in this Section means the Note Issuance Trust’s Annual Report Date, beginning in 2008. Within sixty (60) days after the Annual Report Date in each year, beginning in 2008, the Indenture Trustee will transmit to Noteholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, a brief report dated as of such reporting date if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(b) To the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture Trustee will mail each year to all Registered Noteholders, with a copy to the Note Rating Agencies a report concerning:

(i) its eligibility and qualifications to continue as trustee under this Indenture;

(ii) any amounts advanced by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture;

(iii) the amount, interest rate and maturity date of indebtedness owing by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity;

(iv) the property and funds physically held by the Indenture Trustee by which the related Notes are secured;

(v) any release or release and substitution of Collateral subject to the lien of this Indenture which has not previously been reported; and

(vi) any action taken by the Indenture Trustee that materially affects the Notes and that has not previously been reported.

(d) A copy of each such report will, at the time of such transmission to Noteholders, be filed by the Indenture Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Notes are listed, and also with the Commission. The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee when the Notes are admitted to trading on any stock exchange.

Section 904. Meetings of Noteholders and Noteholder Consent; Amendments and Waivers.

(a) If Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche are issuable in whole or in part as Bearer Notes, a meeting of Noteholders of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Section 904 to make, give or take any Action provided by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to be made, given or taken by Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche.

(b) The Indenture Trustee may call a meeting of the Noteholders of a Series, Class or Tranche issuable in whole or in part as Bearer Notes at any time for any purpose specified hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee will call a meeting upon request of the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche issuable in whole or in part as Bearer Notes. In any case, a meeting will be called after notice is given to such Noteholders pursuant to Section 105.

(c) To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for the Noteholder or Noteholders of one or more Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche by the Noteholder or Noteholders, and shall not be a Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of a

Beneficiary. The only Person who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel.

(d) Except for any consent that must be given by the Holders of each Outstanding Note affected or any action to be taken by the Issuer as holder of any Collateral Certificate, any resolution presented at any meeting at which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Majority Holders of that Series, Class or Tranche, as the case may be. However, any resolution with respect to any Action which may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche of Bearer Notes may be adopted at any meeting at which a quorum is present only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of not less than the specified percentage in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary). Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Noteholders duly held in accordance with this Indenture will be binding on all Noteholders of the affected Series, Class or Tranche.

(e) The quorum at any meeting will be persons holding or representing the Majority Holders of a Series, Class or Tranche or all Notes, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at that meeting concerning an Action that may be taken by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche, the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Notes will constitute a quorum (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary).

(f) The ownership of Bearer Notes will be proved as provided in Subsection 102(c)(ii).

(g) Any Beneficiary, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, may make reasonable rules for other matters relating to Action by or a meeting of Noteholders not otherwise covered by this Section, including but not limited to the location or locations for such meeting, the manner of voting at such meeting, the appointment and duties of inspectors of the vote, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, the recording of the proceedings at such meeting, and the appointment of a chairperson for the meeting.

(h) Any action that can be taken at a meeting of Noteholders may also be taken by written consent of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary). Any

resolution passed or decision taken by written consent in accordance with this Indenture will be binding on all Noteholders of the affected Series, Class or Tranche.

(i) With respect to certain actions relating to any amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation with respect to any Collateral and requiring the consent or direction of Noteholders holding a specified percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall request instructions from the Noteholders as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative Outstanding Dollar Principal Amounts of Notes materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation) as the Notes, voting as a single class, were actually voted or not voted by the Noteholders thereof as of a date determined by the Indenture Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required (such proportion to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary); provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter unless such vote or consent would not (based on the advice of counsel) cause the Note Issuance Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Noteholders’ late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Indenture Trustee from the Noteholders.

(j) The Noteholders may, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust as holder of the Collateral Certificate, request the Master Trust Trustee to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Series Supplement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation at the request, order or direction of the Investor Certificateholder. The Master Trust Trustee shall take such action with the consent of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary).

Section 905. Reports by Issuer to the Commission. The Issuer will:

(a) file with the Indenture Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act; or, if the Issuer is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it will file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

(b) file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

(c) transmit by mail to all Registered Noteholders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, and notify all Holders of Bearer Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, by publication of such notice in an Authorized Newspaper or as otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof with the Indenture Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

Section 1002. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.

(a) This Agreement and any Indenture Supplement (including for the avoidance of doubt, any Terms Document) may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating not less than 66²/₃% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes materially adversely affected or, with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche the Notes of which are, in whole or in part, represented by Bearer Notes, with the consent of persons entitled to vote an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating not less than 66²/₃% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche, as described in Section 904, for purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders of any Class then outstanding; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have been advised by the applicable Note Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche not entitled to vote thereon.. For purposes of calculating whether a 66²/₃% consent has been achieved pursuant to this Section 1002, the applicable Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount shall be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary, and neither any Beneficiary nor an affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary shall be entitled to vote on any amendment pursuant to this Section 1002.

(iii) reduce the amount of a Discount Note payable upon the occurrence of an Early Redemption Event, a cleanup call or upon the acceleration of such Note following an Event of Default;

(iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any Note;

(vi) permit the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the Collateral that secures any Tranche of Notes that is prior to the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such Tranche; or

(vii) change any Place of Payment where any principal of, or interest on, any Note is payable, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permitted activities of the Note Issuance Trust may be significantly changed pursuant to this Section 1002 only with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Outstanding Notes (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Notes beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary). The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Note Rating Agencies of the solicitation of any consents for the purpose of amending this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement pursuant to this Section 1002.

(d) An amendment of this Indenture or an Indenture Supplement which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche with respect to such covenant or other provision, will be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Notes of any other Series, Class or Tranche.

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

Section 1003. Execution of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any amendment of this Indenture or Indenture Supplement permitted by this Article X or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 801) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Indenture Trustee may, but will not (except to the extent required in the case of an amendment or supplemental indenture entered into under Subsections 1001(e) or 1001(g)) be obligated to, enter into any such amendment or supplemental indenture which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 1004. Effect of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and any supplemental indentures under this Article X, this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement will be modified in accordance therewith with respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes affected thereby, or all Notes, as the case may be, and such amendment or supplemental indenture will form a part of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder will be bound thereby to the extent provided therein.

Section 1005. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article X will conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 1006. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article X may, and will if required by the Indenture Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplemental indenture. If the Issuer will so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such amendment or supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

Section 1007. Amendments to the Trust Agreement.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of any Notes or the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (at the written direction of the Beneficiary) and the Beneficiary, so long as the Beneficiary has received written confirmation from the applicable Note Rating Agencies that such amendment will not cause a Rating Effect with respect to any outstanding Notes then issued by the Note Issuance Trust, may amend the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that such amendment will not significantly

change the permitted activities of the Note Issuance Trust; provided, further that as such amendment will not have a Material Adverse Effect and is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect at any time in the future.

(b) The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time, by a written instrument executed by the Owner Trustee, at the written direction of the Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary, with prior written notice to each Note Rating Agency, in the case of a significant change to the permitted activities of the Note Issuance Trust as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Trust Agreement, with the consent of holders of a majority of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes affected by such change, voting as a single class; provided, however, that, without the consent of the holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, no such amendment shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment.

Section 1008. Amendments to Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer, as the Investor Certificateholder of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and as the Holder of any Additional Collateral Certificate, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of each such Collateral Certificate to the extent provided in the applicable Series Supplement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Indenture Trustee receives a request from the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Master Trust Trustee with respect to any Master Trust for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Collateral Certificate, any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Series Supplement or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to any Collateral Certificate, Series Supplement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall, as directed by the Beneficiary, mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each Holder of Notes belonging to any Series, Class or Tranche, as applicable, materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall request instructions from the Noteholders as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative Outstanding Dollar Principal Amounts of Notes materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation) as the Notes, voting as a single class, were actually voted or not voted by the Noteholders thereof as of a date determined by the Indenture Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter unless such vote or consent would not (based on the advice of counsel) cause the Note Issuance Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Noteholders’ late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Noteholders. For the avoidance of doubt, each Noteholder will be deemed to have consented to any amendment of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the Depositor, the Beneficiary or any Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to maintain or establish sale accounting treatment under then-applicable financial accounting standards, and the Noteholders will be treated as the beneficial owners of the applicable Collateral Certificates for all purposes in connection therewith, including for purposes of calculating whether the requisite consent percentage, if any, under the applicable

Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been received for any amendment that requires such consent (except that Notes beneficially owned by the Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of the Beneficiary will not be included in any such calculation).

Section 1009. Deemed Consent to Combination of Master Trust and Issuer. Any Noteholder that acquires a Note of any Series, Class or Tranche will be deemed to have consented to an amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to provide for the combination of any Master Trust and the Issuer into a single Entity or the transfer of assets in such Master Trust to the Issuer after the termination of all Series of Investor Certificates (other than the related Collateral Certificate or Collateral Certificates) issued by such Master Trust.

Section 1102. Payment of Principal and Interest. With respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on such Notes in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, in each case subject to the cash flow and subordination provisions set forth in this Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in this Indenture for the benefit of, the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer will fail to maintain such office or agency or will fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes of one or more Series, Classes or Tranches may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes specified above and may constitute and appoint one or more Paying Agents for the payments of such Notes, in one or more other cities, and may from time to time rescind such designations and appointments; provided, however, that no such designation, appointment or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligations to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche for such purposes.

Section 1104. Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust . The Paying Agent, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will make distributions to Noteholders from the Collection Accounts or other applicable Issuer Account pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and will report the amounts of such distributions to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent will have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account or other applicable Issuer Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent has

failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement in any material respect. The Paying Agent upon removal will return all funds in its possession to the Indenture Trustee.

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

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of or interest on Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums will be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche) in the making of any such payment of principal or interest on the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche;

(c) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and, if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards described in this Section 1104 required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(e) comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code or any other applicable tax law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes or for any other purpose, pay, or by an Officer’s Certificate direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every Series, Class or Tranche of Notes as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Issuer in respect of all Notes, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of any Series, Class or Tranche and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Issuer upon request in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will

thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer give to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as provided in Section 105, a notice that such funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified in the notice, which will not be less than thirty (30) days from the date on which the notice was first mailed or published to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining will be paid to the Issuer free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

Each Paying Agent will at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by a United States federal or state authority or be regulated by or subject to the supervision or examination of a governmental authority of a nation that is a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. If such Paying Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Paying Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition as so published.

Section 1105. Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies, on or before the date that is fifteen days prior to the Note Issuance Trust’s Annual Report Date, or such other date that is mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto, of each calendar year (and relating to the preceding fiscal year ending on November 30), beginning in 2008, a written statement signed by an Issuer Authorized Officer, substantially in the form of Exhibit C stating that:

(b) to the best of such Issuer Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied in all material respects with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant (without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice), specifying each such default known to such Issuer Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

Section 1106. Legal Existence. The Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence.

Section 1107. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 1108. Compliance with Laws. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, the noncompliance with which would, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to perform its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture.

Section 1109. Notice of Events of Default. The Issuer agrees to give the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies prompt written notice of each Event of Default hereunder and each breach on the part of any Master Trust or the Depositor of their respective obligations under the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and any default of a Derivative Counterparty, a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or a Supplemental Liquidity Provider.

Section 1110. Certain Negative Covenants. The Issuer will not:

(a) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts withheld in good faith from such payments under the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law including foreign withholding);

(b) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee created by this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby;

(c) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee created by this Indenture and any lien in connection with a Derivative Agreement, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or Supplemental Liquidity Agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof;

(d) permit the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee created by this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in the Collateral; or

(e) voluntarily dissolve or liquidate.

Section 1111. No Other Business. The Issuer will not engage in any business other than as permitted under the Trust Agreement.

Section 1112. Rule 144A Information. For so long as any of the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer agrees to provide to any Noteholder of such Series, Class or Tranche and to any prospective purchaser of Notes designated by such Noteholder, upon the request of such Noteholder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the conditions set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 1113. Performance of Obligations.

(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 Trust Agreement, the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

(b) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement, the Trust Agreement and in the instruments and agreements (including but not limited to, the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and amendments thereto required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Trust Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

Section 1302. Filing.

(a) The Issuer intends the Security Interest granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Collateral. Subject to Section 1303, the Issuer will take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain a perfected lien on and security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee to the extent such security interests may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the applicable UCC.

The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing.

(ii) Within 30 days after the Issuer makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 (or any comparable provision) of the UCC, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee notice of any such change and will file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Collateral.

(d) The Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt notice of any relocation of its state of location, and any change in the jurisdiction of its organization, and whether, as a result of such relocation or change, the applicable provision of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and will file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer will at all times maintain its chief executive office within the United States (which will at all times be the Wilmington, Delaware office of the Owner Trustee).

(f) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file such financing statements, including continuation statements or other instruments, in such jurisdictions and containing such collateral descriptions (including, without limitation, the words “All of the Debtor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all assets of the Debtor wherever located and all related underlying instruments and all proceeds thereof, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence” or words of similar effect) as the Indenture Trustee deems necessary or appropriate and shall take such other action as may be necessary to secure the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 1303. Trust Indenture Act Requirements. The release of any Collateral from the lien created by this Indenture or the release, in whole or in part, of the liens on all Collateral, will not be deemed to impair the Security Interest in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or liens are released pursuant to the terms hereof.

104

The Indenture Trustee and each of the Noteholders are hereby deemed to acknowledge that a release of Collateral securing Notes or liens strictly in accordance with the terms hereof will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the remaining Security Interests in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, without limitation, the Issuer will cause Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act relating to the release of property or securities from the liens hereof to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act may be made by an Issuer Authorized Officer, except in cases in which Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person.

Section 1304. Suits To Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Indenture Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect the interests of the Noteholders and the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security Interest or be prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee). No counterparties to a Derivative Agreement, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or Supplemental Liquidity Agreement may direct the Indenture Trustee to enforce the Security Interest. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, each Derivative Counterparty’s, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider’s and Supplemental Liquidity Provider’s rights consist solely of the right to receive Finance Charge Amounts or Principal Amounts, as applicable, allocated for such party’s benefit pursuant to the related Indenture Supplement.

Section 1305. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Indenture Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XIII upon the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XIII.

Section 1306. Release of all Collateral.

(a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 806 of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer or when otherwise required by the provisions of this Indenture, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest (which is held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders) in the same, in a manner and under circumstances which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article XIII will be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds.

105

(b) Upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture have been satisfied and discharged by complying with the provisions of this Article XIII, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) execute and deliver such releases, termination statements and other instruments (in recordable form, where appropriate) as the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, may reasonably request evidencing the termination of the Security Interest created by this Indenture and (ii) not be deemed to hold the Security Interest for the benefit of itself, the Noteholders, any applicable Derivative Counterparty, any applicable Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or any applicable Supplemental Liquidity Provider.

(c) The Beneficiary, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall be entitled to receive at least 10 days’ written notice when the Indenture Trustee proposes to take any action pursuant to clause (a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also be entitled to require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

Section 1307. Opinions as to Collateral.

(a) On the date hereof, 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 with respect to the filing of any financing statements and amendments thereto as is necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Security Interest created by this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee to the extent such security interest may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the applicable UCC, and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest perfected.

(b) On or before that date that is 15 days before the Note Issuance Trust’s Annual Report Date in each calendar year, beginning in 2008, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to each UCC financing statement which has been filed by the Issuer with respect to the Collateral either stating that, (i) in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, such financing statements and amendments thereto as are necessary to maintain the Security Interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or (ii) in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Security Interest.
