The foregoing Grant is made in trust to secure the payment of principal of and interest on, and any other amounts owing in respect of, the Notes, and to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and (iii) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, all as provided in this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee, as indenture trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and agrees to perform its duties required in this Indenture to the best of its ability to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Notes may be adequately and effectively protected.

Section 2.03.

Limitations on Transfer of Certain Notes.

(a)        No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class B Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of any Class B Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto and a certificate from such Noteholder’s prospective transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the Noteholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification). None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class B Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Class B Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of Class B Notes or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar 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.

(b)        Each Holder or Note Owner of a Class B Note shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such Person (A) is a QIB and (B) is purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account of a QIB to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and (ii) such Person understands that such Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Notes, such Notes may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise

 



transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a QIB, that is purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account of a QIB to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.

(c)        No Class A Note or Mezzanine Note may be sold or transferred to a Person unless such Person certifies in the form of Exhibit D to this Agreement (which in the case of Notes which are Book-Entry Notes, such Person will be deemed to have represented such certification), which certification the Indenture Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, that:

(i)         Such Person is neither (A) an employee benefit plan, an Archer MSA as described in Section 220(d) of the Code, an education individual retirement account as described in Section 530 of the Code or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”), nor (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” (as defined under the DOL Regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of a Plan (“Plan Assets”); or

(ii)         In the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such Person is a Plan or a Person purchasing such Note with “plan assets” and represents that, as of the date of the transfer, (A) the Notes are rated investment grade or better, (B) such Person believes that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat the Notes and (C) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or

(iii)        In the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, which establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee that the purchase, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

(iv)        The Class B Notes may not be purchased by a Plan or person using Plan Assets.

(v)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Note by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or any Person investing “plan assets” of any Plan) and the Note Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Note Registrar,

 



shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Depositor.

Section 2.04.    Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Indenture Trustee initially 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 Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. The Note Registrar shall keep a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and the restrictions on transfers of the Notes set forth herein, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right 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.

Subject to Section 2.03, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to 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 Notes 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, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall be entitled to obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be 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.

 



 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.05 not involving any transfer.

The preceding provisions of this Section 2.04 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Note.

Section 2.05.    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 it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and upon certification provided by the Holder of such Note that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; 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 Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Optional Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.05, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 



 

The provisions of this Section 2.05 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 2.06.    Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.07.    Payment of Principal and Interest. (a) The Notes shall accrue interest at the applicable Note Rate as set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date, subject to Section 3.01. Interest shall be computed on the Notes on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in each Accrual Period. With respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR for each applicable Accrual Period on the second LIBOR Business Day prior thereto, in accordance with the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All interest payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Any installment of interest or principal payable on the Notes shall be paid on the applicable Payment Date 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 or, upon written request made to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by the Holder of any Note by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the expense of such Noteholder, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.10, 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, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date, on the applicable Final Stated Maturity Date for the Notes or on the Optional Redemption Date if the Notes are called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01, which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

(b)        The principal of the Notes shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided herein and in the Notes, subject to Section 3.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. All principal payments on the Notes of each Class shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid.

The Class B Notes offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities with the applicable legends set forth in

 



Exhibit A added to the forms of such Notes. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner thereof will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(i)

the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii)         the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(iii)        to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 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 pursuant to Section 2.12, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall register any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note; and the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; 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 Balance of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes 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 shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

Section 2.12.    Definitive Notes. If (i) the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Balance of the Book-Entry Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best

 



interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

Section 2.13.    Tax Treatment. The Issuer has made one or more REMIC elections pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Notes will constitute REMIC regular interests.

As provided in Section 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from such accounts for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.03. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall:

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

(ii)         give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which the Paying Agent has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which 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 the Notes 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 Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), 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 Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York (including, but not limited to, The Bond Buyer), 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 Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.04.    Existence. (a) The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect

 



the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Collateral.

Section 3.05.    Protection of Collateral. The Issuer will from time to time execute, deliver and file 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:

All such filings will be made by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer.

Section 3.06.    Opinions as to Collateral. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been 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 make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

Section 3.07.    Performance of Obligations; Servicing of the Assistance Loans. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations

 



under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

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

(c)        The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Operative Agreements and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

(iv)        dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part or merge or consolidate with any other Person;

(v)        remove the Administrator without cause unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection with such removal;

(a)        The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of

 



five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest at the applicable Note Rate upon the overdue principal, 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 Issuer 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 Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c)        If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, 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 Issuer 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 or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, 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 the provisions of 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 and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or 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 Issuer, its creditors and its property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian 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 expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee.

(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 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, subject to Section 5.05 hereof.

(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 5.04.

Priorities.

(a)        If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Indenture

 



Trustee may, and shall, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 hereof):

(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 Issuer 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; and

(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; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders of the Notes 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 Mortgage Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the applicable 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 the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon written advice or an opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Event of Servicing Termination has not occurred, any sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

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

(i)         to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.07 hereof and to the Owner Trustee for amounts due pursuant to Article VII of the Trust Agreement;

(ii)         to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes with respect to interest;

(iii)        to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes with respect to principal;

 



 

(iv)        to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for the amount of any related Allocated Realized Loss Amount;

(v)        to the Noteholders (in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes with respect to any related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount; and

(vi)        to the payment of the remainder, if any to the Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer or to any other person legally entitled thereto.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Payment Date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05.    Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and 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 other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account with respect to whether or not to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. With respect to whether and how to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon the written advice or 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 5.06.    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 Holders of not less than 50% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding with respect to the Notes in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii)        such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in 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 proceedings; 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 50% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes;

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

Section 5.07.    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 5.08.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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 5.09.    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 any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V 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 a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of 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)         any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes;

(iii)        the Indenture Trustee has been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and

(iv)        the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Note Balances of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11 the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability.

Section 5.12.    Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, 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 Event of 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 attorneys’ 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balances 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.

Section 5.14.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever

 



enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.15.

Sale of Trust Estate.

(a)        The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 hereof and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

(b)        The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless

(i)         the Holders of all Notes consent to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or

(ii)         the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

(iii)        it is determined that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 hereof cannot be satisfied (with respect to which the Indenture Trustee may rely upon written advice or an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.05 hereof), the Holders of Notes representing at least 100% of the Note Balances of the Notes consent to such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 5.15(b).

(c)

In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate,

(i)         any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

 



 

(ii)         the Indenture Trustee, may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be payable to the Holders of the Notes and Holders of Certificates on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(iii)        the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance, prepared by the Issuer and satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;

(iv)        the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and

(v)        no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.

Section 5.16.    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 Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

Section 5.17.

Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a)        Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Servicer’s or Seller’s expense, as applicable, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the 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 respective obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b)        The Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Note Balances of the Notes, shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Operative Agreements, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer under the Operative Agreements and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Operative Agreements, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(ii)         in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)        The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith, except that:

(i)         this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

(iv)        the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of (a) any failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations hereunder or in the Operative Agreements or (b) any Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such Event of Default or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such actual knowledge or written notice, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default.

 



 

(d)        Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

Section 6.06.    Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed), on behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, all tax returns (if any) and information reports, tax elections and such annual or other reports of the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of tax returns and information reports as provided in the Trust Agreement, including without limitation Form 1099. All tax returns and information reports shall be signed by the Owner Trustee as provided in the Trust Agreement.

Section 6.07.    Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled, as compensation for its services, to earnings with respect to, or the benefit of amounts in, the Trust Accounts as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement (which amounts shall constitute the Indenture Trustee’s fees for its services). The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee shall be reimbursed by the Issuer, as provided in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for all reasonable ordinary out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services (as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement). Reimbursable expenses under this Section 6.07 shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, any co-trustee and their respective employees, directors and agents, as provided in Section 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, against any and all claim, loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Operative Agreement. The Indenture Trustee or co-trustee, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the co-trustee, as applicable, to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of their respective obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee and any co-trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee or any co-trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s or co-trustee’s, as the case may be, own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 



 

The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the termination or resignation of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.08.    Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. Holders of a majority of Note Balances of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall, remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i)

the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 hereof;

(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 the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

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

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Note Balances of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.09.    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; provided,

 



that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency prior written notice of any such transaction.

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

Section 6.10.

Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a)        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as may be considered 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 6.08 hereof.

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

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

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

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

 



 

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

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

The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in Section 11.01.

 



 

(b)        The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)        The Indenture Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of any REMIC (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) to the extent provided in Section 6.07.

(d)        The Indenture Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as the direct representative of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Indenture Trustee.

(e)        The Holder of the Class G Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC 1 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 1. The Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 2 and REMIC 3. The Holder of the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 4 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for REMIC 4. The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R, Class R-X or Class G Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Noteholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust.

(f)         The Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Notes shall take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Issuer nor the Holder of any Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not

 



limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate will consult with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

(g)        The Holders of the Class R Certificates shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by the Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Indenture Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of other amounts held in the Payment Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of California for state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that the Holder of the Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any, when imposed.

(h)        The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)         No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(j)         Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

and Servicing Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Payment Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the payment of interest or principal on the Notes, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets pledged to the Indenture Trustee (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class G, Class R or Class R-X Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Indenture, (2) for any losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Indenture Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Noteholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Notes).

 



 

ARTICLE XII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01.  Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee: (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 11.01; provided, that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

(i)         a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(ii)         a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii)        a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

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

Section 12.02.  Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of

 



Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

Section 12.03.

Acts of Noteholders.

(a)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.03.

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

(c)

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

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

Section 12.04.  Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other

 



documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i)         the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(ii)         the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to the address provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

Section 12.05.  Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

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

 



 

Section 12.06.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

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

Section 12.07.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 12.08.  Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 12.09.  Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.10.  Benefits of Indenture and Consents of Noteholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, consents to and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 12.11.  Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no additional interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date in respect of such payment date.

Section 12.12.  Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 12.13.  Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 



 

Section 12.14.  Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 12.15.  Trust Obligations. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its respective individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their respective individual capacities) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

In addition, (i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust Company, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the Indenture Trustee and by any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee, and (iv) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Operative Agreements.

Section 12.16.  No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Operative Agreements except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be prohibited from filing proofs of claim in connection with any such proceedings.

 



 

Section 12.17.  Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent Public Accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

Nothwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuer, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any respects of the Indenture Trustee’s business or that of its affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or an affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder thereof is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Issuer or (E) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Servicer or the Issuer.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($322,448,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class IA-1 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class IA-1 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class IA-1 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

 



 

The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to represent that either (i) Such Person is neither (A) an employee benefit plan, an Archer MSA as described in Section 220(d) of the Code, an education individual retirement account as described in Section 530 of the Code or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), nor (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Note or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” (as defined under the DOL Regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of a Plan (“Plan Assets”); or (ii) in the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such Person is a Plan or a Person purchasing such Note with “plan assets” and represents that, as of the date of the transfer, (A) the Notes are rated investment grade or better, (B) such Person believes that the Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and agrees to so treat the Notes and (C) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (iii) in the case of the Class A Notes and Mezzanine Notes, such Person has provided the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, which establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee that the purchase, holding and transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Trust, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or

 



any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($200,000,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class IIA-1a Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class IIA-1a Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class IIA-1a Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class IIA-1c Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class IIA-1c Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class IIA-1c Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class IIA-4c Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class IIA-4c Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class IIA-4c Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder.

The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($43,112,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class M-2 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-2 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-2 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($27,896,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class M-4 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-4 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-4 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($13,948,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class M-9 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-9 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-9 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($8,876,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class M-11 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-11 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-11 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

 



 

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Note or interest herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of this Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 of the Indenture and a certificate from such Noteholder’s prospective transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 of the Indenture (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the Noteholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification). None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify this Note under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of this Note or interest herein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of this Note or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar 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.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the

 

 

Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of ($6,340,000.00) in monthly installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”), commencing in October 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on the Final Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of this Note (this “Note”) outstanding from time to time as provided below.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer’s Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4 (the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The “Note Balance” of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be equal to this Note’s pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class B-2 Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal as provided in the Indenture.

 



 

All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously paid, will become finally due and payable at the Final Stated Maturity Date.

The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class B-2 Notes, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class B-2 Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person’s address as it appears in the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Note Registrar on behalf of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were carried by such other Note.

If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

 



 

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Note or interest herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of this Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 of the Indenture and a certificate from such Noteholder’s prospective transferee in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 of the Indenture (which in the case of the Book-Entry Notes, the Noteholder and the Noteholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification). None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify this Note under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of this Note or interest herein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of this Note or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Note Registrar 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.

The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is deemed to represent that this Note may not be purchased by a Plan or person using Plan Assets.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Note (or

 



any one or more predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This Note will be delivered by the Clearing Agency in denominations as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

Re:

Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2005-HE4, Class B (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the sale by _______________________________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Class B-__ Notes having an initial aggregate Note Balance as of September 30, 2005 (the “Closing Date”) of $______________ (the “Transferred Notes”). The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2005-HE4 (the “Issuer”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the “Indenture Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferee, that:

1.          The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

2.        Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of any Note a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Note pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

3.         The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule l44A (“Rule l44A”) under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s)

 



of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):

____

(a) The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

____

(b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser, or

____

(c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser, or

____

(d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.

4.         The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:

(a) the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee’s “family of investment companies”, if the Transferee is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements;

 



securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;

(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;

(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.

5.         The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

6.         The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Mortgage Loans and payments thereon, (b) the nature and performance of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Indenture and the Trust Estate, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Mortgage Loans, that the Transferee has requested.

Very truly yours,
