The A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3 Notes, A-4 Notes and Class B Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the

text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

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

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 are part of the terms of this Indenture.

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

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

The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuing Entity Order authenticate and deliver A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3 Notes, A-4 Notes and Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $217,400,000, $130,000,000, $373,000,000, $280,600,000 and $30,959,000, respectively. The Outstanding Amount of A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3 Notes, A-4 Notes and Class B Notes at any time may not exceed such respective amounts except as provided in Section 2.5 .

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in greater whole-dollar denominations in excess thereof.

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

SECTION 2.3. Temporary Notes . Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuing Entity may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with this Indenture as the Authorized Officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuing Entity will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge

to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as if they were Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange . The Issuing Entity shall cause to be kept a register (the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuing Entity shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall be the “ Note Registrar ” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuing Entity as the Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times, to obtain copies thereof and to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met (provided, this requirement will only apply to transfers of Class B Notes following (i) the transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the Originator and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B Notes registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), the Issuing Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met (provided, this requirement will only apply to exchanges of Class B Notes following (i) the transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the Originator and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B Notes registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), the Issuing Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

By its acquisition of a Note or any interest therein, each purchaser or transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA ”), that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing or a “governmental plan” as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the acquisition and holding of the Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuing Entity, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

No transfer of a Class B Note shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Securities Act ”) and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, there shall be delivered to the Issuing Entity and to the Indenture Trustee a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit C (the “ Rule 144A Letter ”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else herein, any transfer of the Class B Notes to the Depositor, the Originator or any of their Affiliates on the Closing Date, and any transfer from any of such entities to its Affiliate, and any transfer from any such entity to an initial purchaser(s) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements, will not require the delivery of a Rule 144A Letter and may be made regardless of whether such entity is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in the Securities Act. The Issuing Entity shall provide to any Holder of a Class B Note and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the Class B Notes and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Class B Note without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Issuing Entity in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Issuing Entity such information regarding the Class B Notes, the Receivables and other matters regarding the Trust Estate as the Issuing Entity shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class B Note desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Seller and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Every Class A Note, and every Class B Note (but, with respect to Class B Notes only, only with respect to transfers following (i) the transfer of the Class B Notes to an entity unaffiliated with the Originator and (ii) the exchange of the Class B Notes for Class B Notes registered in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee)), presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion

Program (“ STAMP ”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuing Entity may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

SECTION 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes . If: (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity to hold the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, respectively, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuing Entity shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided , however , that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven days shall be, due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuing Entity may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note (or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence), a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered (or payment made) or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.6. Persons Deemed Owner . Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest . (a) The A-1 Notes, A-2 Notes, A-3 Notes, A-4 Notes and Class B Notes shall accrue interest at the A-1 Note Rate, the A-2 Note Rate, the A-3 Note Rate, the A-4 Note Rate and the Class B Note Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date, subject to Section 3.1. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuing Entity on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date. However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. In addition, so long as Definitive Notes have been issued with respect to the Class B Notes and the Originator or its Affiliate is the entity in whose name such Class B Notes are registered on the Record Date, payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Originator or such Affiliate. Notwithstanding the above, the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall be payable as provided in clause (b)(ii) . The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b) (i) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in this Indenture, and except as provided below each such installment shall be due and payable only to the extent that there are funds available to make the payment in accordance with the Basic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the entire Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes shall be due and payable on the related Class Final Scheduled Maturity Date, and (B) the entire Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes shall be due and payable, ratably to all Noteholders, on any date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2.

Such notice shall be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

(c) If the Issuing Entity defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuing Entity shall pay, in any lawful manner, defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable interest rate from the Payment Date for which such payment is in default. The Issuing Entity may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the special payment date. The Issuing Entity shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and special payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the special payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.8. Cancellation . All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuing Entity may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuing Entity shall direct by an Issuing Entity Order that they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuing Entity Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.9. Release of Collateral . Subject to Sections 8.4 and 11.1 and the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§314(c) and 314(d)(l), or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.

SECTION 2.10. Book-Entry Notes . The Class A Notes, upon original issuance, and at any time after the Closing Date at the Depositor’s request, the Class B Notes, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to

The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) (the initial Clearing Agency), or its custodian, by, or on behalf of, the Issuing Entity. Such Class A Notes shall initially (and such Class B Notes shall, upon the Depositor’s request) be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner of such Note will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12, and except with respect to the Class B Notes, which will initially be issued as Definitive Notes registered in the name of CNH Capital America LLC. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “ Definitive Notes ”) representing Class A Notes have been issued to Note Owners, and with respect to Class B Notes, for the period beginning when such Class B Notes are no longer held as Definitive Notes until such Class B Notes are again held as Definitive Notes:

(i) this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the applicable Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;

(iii) to the extent that this Section conflicts with any other provisions of this Indenture, this Section shall control;

(iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued (and, with respect to the Class B Notes, for any period during which no Definitive Notes are issued), the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the applicable Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

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

SECTION 2.11. Notices to Clearing Agency . Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes for the Class A Notes have been issued (and, with respect to the Class B Notes, for any period during which no Definitive Notes are issued) to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency.

SECTION 2.12. Definitive Notes . Notes initially or subsequently cleared through a clearing agency may be issued in definitive, fully registered certificated form to Noteholders if requested by the DTC participants to whom the Notes are credited and in

accordance with DTC’s rules and procedures. Upon any surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. In addition, Notes issued as Definitive Notes from time to time may be subsequently issued as Book-Entry Notes and cleared through a Clearing Agency at the request of applicable Holders of the Definitive Notes. The Class B Notes are initially issued only as registered Definitive Notes without coupons in denominations specified herein.

SECTION 2.13. Tax Treatment . It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, until the Certificates are held by other than the Seller, the Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the Seller and the Notes be treated as debt of the Seller. At such time that the Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for such tax purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership and the Notes be treated as debt of the Trust. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as provided in this Section 2.13.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest . The Issuing Entity will duly and punctually pay the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

The Issuing Entity will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuing Entity in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuing Entity hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuing Entity will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency.

or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuing Entity hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

SECTION 3.3. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust . As provided in Sections 8.2(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(e), as applicable, shall be made on behalf of the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity except as provided in this Section.

One Business Day prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuing Entity shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuing Entity Order with written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent appointed by the Issuing Entity shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee hereunder as provided in Section 6.11.

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

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

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuing Entity (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) 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;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and 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 required to be met by a Paying Agent; and

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

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

SECTION 3.4. Existence . The Issuing Entity will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.5. Protection of the Trust Estate . The Issuing Entity will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

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

(iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

(iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all Persons.

The Issuing Entity hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement, instrument of further assurance or other instrument required to be executed to accomplish the foregoing.

SECTION 3.6. Opinions as to the Trust Estate . (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken or will be taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the Lien and security interest created by this Indenture 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 effective.

(b) On or before April 30 in each calendar year commencing in the calendar year 2010 the Issuing Entity 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 recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as is necessary to maintain the Lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and the execution and filing of any financing statements, amendments to financing statements and continuation statements, that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the Lien and security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the following calendar year.

SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables . (a) The Issuing Entity 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 material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate 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 Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

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

(c) The Issuing Entity will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuing Entity shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(d) If the Issuing Entity shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuing Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuing Entity is taking with respect to such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuing Entity shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

(e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall become the successor servicer (the “ Successor Servicer ”) (or if there is no Backup Servicer on such date, then the Issuing Entity shall appoint a Successor Servicer acceptable to the Indenture Trustee), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the previous Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed as the Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it is unable to so act, (i) notify the Issuing Entity of its resignation as Successor Servicer and (ii) appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of equipment receivables as the successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuing Entity shall enter into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to act through or appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Indenture and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, or be liable for or be required to make any servicer advances.

(f) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuing Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuing Entity shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

SECTION 3.8. Negative Covenants . So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuing Entity shall not:

(i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuing Entity, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable State law) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate; or

(iii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the Lien of 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, (B) permit any Lien (other than the Lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof or (C) permit the Lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any tax lien, mechanics’ lien or other lien not considered a Lien) security interest in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.9. Annual Statement as to Compliance . The Issuing Entity will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuing Entity, an Officer’s Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, stating that:

condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of Default hereunder;

The Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days after the Issuing Entity or the Administrator obtains actual knowledge thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default under clause (iii) , its status and what action the Issuing Entity is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment . If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuing Entity (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the Outstanding Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, by written notice to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuing Entity has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts, in each case, that would then be due hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12 .

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

SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee . (a) The Issuing Entity covenants that if an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii) occurs, the Issuing Entity will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal at the applicable interest rate, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) In case the Issuing Entity shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c) In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4 , in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuing Entity or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or

State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee, trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuing Entity or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

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

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law or regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or any Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity, its creditors and its property;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 5.4. Remedies; Priorities . (a) If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5 ):

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuing Entity and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes;

(iv) sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; and

(v) make demand upon the Servicer, by written notice, that the Servicer deliver to the Indenture Trustee all Receivable Files;

provided , however , that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii) , unless: (A) all the Noteholders consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses

(B) and (C) , the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Trust Estate or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Section 5.4 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Issuing Entity and Holders hereby waives any claims against the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Trust Estate may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been obtained, even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Trust Estate to more than one offeree, so long as such sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money or property in the following order:

FIRST : to pay the Backup Servicer its accrued and unpaid Backup Servicer Fees;

SECOND : to pay the Servicer its accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee;

THIRD : to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7 and to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement;

FOURTH : to the Administrator its accrued and unpaid Administration Fees;

FIFTH : to the Note Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to Section 8.2(e) to the extent of all amounts payable under such Section, other than any amounts that would be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account under such Section;

SIXTH : first, to the Backup Servicer, to cover any accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses (including the Backup Servicer Expenses) to the extent unreimbursed after application of Section 4.12 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and second to the Servicer, to cover any accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses;

SEVENTH : to the Trustee for amounts due to the Trustee under Article VIII of the Trust Agreement to the extent not paid under clause THIRD above; and

EIGHTH : to the Issuing Entity for distribution to the Certificateholders.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a special record date and special payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Issuing Entity shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the special payment date and the amount to be paid.

SECTION 5.5. Optional Preservation of the Receivables . If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default, and such

declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

SECTION 5.6. Limitation of Suits . No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii) the Holder(s) of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii) such Holder(s) have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceeding; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holder(s) of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder(s) of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holder(s) or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.7. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest . Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to

institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.8. 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 or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative . No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver . No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or 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 5.11. Control by Noteholders . The Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided , that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4 , any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by all the Noteholders;

(iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided further , however , that, subject to Section 6.1 , the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder(s) not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults . Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of money due has been obtained as described in Section 5.3 , the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default: (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs . All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to: (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder(s) holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws . The Issuing Entity covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuing Entity (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes . The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the

Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuing Entity or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuing Entity. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b) .

SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations . (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement (or the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement) to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuing Entity against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuing Entity thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuing Entity to take such action shall be suspended.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any files or records related to the Receivables for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Issuing Entity with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

(g) In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Note Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

SECTION 6.3. Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee . The Indenture Trustee shall not, in its individual capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner of Notes or otherwise extend credit to the Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12 .

SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer . The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of, this Indenture or the Notes; shall not be accountable for the Issuing Entity’s use of the proceeds from the Notes; and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuing Entity in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.5. Notice of Defaults . If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to the Holders . The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal, State and other income tax returns. Within 60 days after each December 31, starting with December 31, 2009, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a brief report as of such December 31 that complies with TIA § 313(a) (if required by said section).

SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity . The Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed to between the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in writing. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuing Entity shall or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties

hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuing Entity and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuing Entity and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuing Entity or the Servicer of its respective obligations hereunder. The Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuing Entity shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Issuing Entity nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The Issuing Entity’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) , the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 6.8. Replacement of the Indenture Trustee . No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 . The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuing Entity in writing. The Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

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

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuing Entity. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuing Entity’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any act or omission by any successor Indenture Trustee other than itself, serving again as Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger . If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Issuing Entity prompt written notice of any such transaction following the consummation thereof; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11 .

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

SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee . (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate 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 Person(s) to act as co-trustee(s), or separate trustee(s), of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 .

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

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

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

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

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee 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 of this Agreement 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.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may be located.

SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification . The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and, upon Issuing Entity Order, Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published

annual report of condition and it shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, a comparable rating by another statistical rating agency). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided , however , that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture(s) under which other securities of the Issuing Entity are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

If a default occurs under this Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have a conflicting interest as a result of acting as trustee for both (1) the Class A Notes and (2) the Class B Notes, a successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed for one or more of such Classes, so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, respectively. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the Class A Noteholders or the Class B Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Basic Document. However, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.4 and to the right of the Class B Noteholders to receive their respective shares of any proceeds of enforcement, subject to the subordination of the Class B Notes to the Class A Notes as described herein). Upon repayment of the Class A Notes in full, but so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class B Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class B Noteholders will have the right to exercise remedies under this Indenture (but subject to the express provisions of Section 5.4 ).

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes, the Issuing Entity, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein the each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Indenture Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein.

SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuing Entity . The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed

in TIA § 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

SECTION 6.13. Information to Be Provided by the Indenture Trustee . At any time when the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act are not suspended, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer promptly after the Indenture Trustee becomes aware of (a) the initiation of any legal proceedings against the Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of the Indenture Trustee is subject, that are material to the Noteholders, (b) any developments in any such proceedings that are material to the Noteholders and (c) any such material proceedings that are contemplated by any governmental authority against the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.14. Representations and Warranties . The Indenture Trustee hereby represents that:

(a) the Indenture Trustee is duly organized and validly existing as a national banking corporation in good standing under the laws of the United States with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted;

(b) the Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture have been duly authorized by the Indenture Trustee by all necessary corporate action;

(c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under the articles of association or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee or any material agreement or other instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound;

(d) to best of the Indenture Trustee’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Indenture; and

(e) as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus Date, the Prospectus Date and the Closing Date, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Indenture Trustee, or of which any property of the Indenture Trustee is subject, that are material to the Noteholders, and no such legal proceedings are known to the Indenture Trustee to be contemplated by any governmental authority against the Indenture Trustee that are material to the Noteholders.

The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Collateral and the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings.
