(ii) for purposes of any provisions of any Indenture Document relating to termination, discharge or the like, such Class shall continue to be deemed Outstanding unless and until all commitments to extend credit under such Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement have been terminated thereunder and the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class shall have been reduced to zero; and

4

(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, a Series Supplement or a Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement may provide for different treatment of commitments of a Noteholder of a Class A-1 Note subject to such Series Supplement or Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement that has failed to make a payment required to be made by it under the terms of such Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, that has provided written notification that it does not intend to make a payment required to be made by it thereunder when due or that has become the subject of an Event of Bankruptcy.

(a) Each Note shall, upon issuance pursuant to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of the Co-Issuers by an Authorized Officer of each Co-Issuer and delivered by the Co-Issuers to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein. The signature of each such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. If an Authorized Officer of any Co-Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the Co-Issuers may deliver Notes of any particular Series (issued pursuant to Section 2.2) executed by the Co-Issuers to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

11

(c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for below, duly executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a Trust Officer. Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated under this Base Indenture. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Co-Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Base Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

“This is one of the Notes of a Series issued under the within mentioned Indenture.

Citibank, N.A., as Trustee
By: |  |
|  | Authorized Signatory”

(d) Each Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Co-Issuers, and the Co-Issuers shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14 together with a written statement to the Trustee and the Servicer (which need not comply with Section 14.3) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by the Co-Issuers, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Section 2.5 Note Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Co-Issuers shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Note Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (the “Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes may be presented for payment. The Note Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (including the name and address of each such Noteholder) and of their transfer and exchange. The Trustee shall indicate in its books and records the commitment of each Noteholder, if applicable, and the principal amount owing to each Noteholder from time to time. The Co-Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” shall include any additional paying agent and the term “Note Registrar” shall include any co-registrars. The Co-Issuers may change the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. The Co-Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Note Registrar and the Paying Agent and shall send copies of all notices and demands received by the Trustee (other than those sent by the Co-Issuers to the Trustee and those addressed to the Co-Issuers) in connection with the Notes to the Co-Issuers. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Note Registrar or, in the absence of such appointment, the Co-Issuers shall assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

12

(b) The Co-Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Base Indenture that relate to such Agent. If the Co-Issuers fail to maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee hereby agrees to act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with this Base Indenture until the Co-Issuers shall appoint a replacement Note Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

(a) The Co-Issuers will cause the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee is the Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, that the Paying Agent will:

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

(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by any Co-Issuer of which it has Actual Knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by the Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as the Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable tax law (including for the avoidance of doubt FATCA) with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

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

13

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Co-Issuers upon delivery of a Company Request. The Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Co-Issuers), and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money paid to the Co-Issuers shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London, if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Co-Issuers. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, any other commercially reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 2.7 Noteholder List.

(a) The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Note Registrar to the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the Paying Agent or any Class A-1 Administrative Agent, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the Paying Agent or such Class A-1 Administrative Agent, respectively, in writing, the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such Noteholders. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Co-Issuers, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

(b) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days before each Quarterly Payment Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.

Section 2.8 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Note Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Co-Issuers shall execute and, after the Co-Issuers have executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Subclass or Tranche) and a like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred. At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Subclass or Tranche) in authorized denominations of like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so exchanged, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Co-Issuers shall execute, and after the Co-Issuers have executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

14

(b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing with a medallion signature guarantee and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee or the Note Registrar may require, including evidence reasonably satisfactory to it to document the identities and/or signatures of the transferor, and the transferee (including but not limited to the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9). The Co-Issuers shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Note Registrar, as applicable, Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under the Indenture and the Notes.

(c) All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Co-Issuers, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, (i) the Trustee, the Co-Issuers or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange of any Note of any Series for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days preceding the selection of any Series of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, and (ii) no assignment or transfer of a Note or any commitment in respect thereof shall be effective until such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Note Register and in the books and records of the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.5(a).

(e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Co-Issuers, the Note Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, may require payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable Series Supplement are satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8 and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13, the typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes for any Series may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency for such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche or to a successor Clearing Agency for such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, selected or approved by the Co-Issuers or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency, only if in accordance with this Section 2.8 and Section 2.12.

The Trustee or any such third-party platform, as the case may be, shall require each party (other than the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and any Rating Agency) accessing such password-protected area to register as a Permitted Recipient and to make the applicable representations and warranties described below in a written confirmation in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Permitted Recipient Certification”) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may take the form of an electronic submission); provided that Bloomberg and Intex shall be permitted access to the password-protected area without completing such Permitted Recipient Certification; provided, further, if any investor or prospective investor accesses any of the items described above via Bloomberg, Intex or any other third-party investor diligence or service provider, such investor or prospective investor will be deemed to have made each of the representations and certifications included in such Permitted Recipient Certification. The Trustee and any such third-party platform may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed by it for which the Trustee or such third-party, as the case may be, was not the original source. Each time a Permitted Recipient accesses such internet website, it shall be deemed to have confirmed such representations and warranties as of the date thereof. The Trustee or any such third-party platform shall provide the Servicer and the Manager with copies of such Permitted Recipient Certifications, including the identity, contact information, e-mail address and telephone number of such Permitted Recipients, upon request, but shall have no responsibility for any of the information contained therein. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way any such information is made available in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible, and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Permitted Recipient that is required to deliver a Permitted Recipient Certificate is unwilling to execute a Permitted Recipient Certification, such Permitted Recipient will nonetheless be permitted to access the password-protected area of the Trustee’s internet website or other relevant third-party investor information platform with the prior written consent of the Manager.

(a) Senior Notes Interest Payment Account.

(i) On each Quarterly Calculation Date, the Co-Issuers (or the Manager on their behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing on the next Quarterly Payment Date to withdraw the funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account on each Weekly Allocation Date with respect to the immediately preceding Quarterly Collection Period (or, to the extent necessary to pay any Class A-1 Notes Interest Adjustment Amount, the then-current Quarterly Collection Period), and, if applicable, funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account pursuant to subclause (ii) below, to be paid for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders, up to the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, sequentially in order of alphanumerical designation and pro rata among each Class of Senior Notes of the same alphanumerical designation based upon the amount of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount payable with respect to each such Class, and deposit such funds into the applicable Series Distribution Accounts. Amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account as of the Amendment Date, if any, shall be deemed to be funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account during the first Quarterly Collection Period after the Amendment Date.

52

(ii) If the amount of funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account referred to in subclause (i) is insufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, then a Quarterly Reallocation Event pursuant to Section 5.14(p) shall be triggered and any funds reallocated as a result thereof into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account shall be distributed in accordance with subclause (i) above. If such insufficiency is not eliminated following the reallocation of funds as set forth in Section 5.14(p), the Co-Issuers (or the Manager on their behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw an amount equal to any remaining insufficiency from first, the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein and second, from funds available to be drawn under any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit relating to the Senior Notes, and deposit such funds into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account for further deposit to the applicable Series Distribution Accounts pursuant to subclause (i); provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or funds available to be drawn under any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit relating to the Senior Notes are required to be withdrawn in connection with a Class A-1 Notes Quarterly Commitment Fees Amount insufficiency under Section 5.14(b)(ii), the amounts withdrawn under this Section 5.14(a)(ii) and under Section 5.14(b)(ii) shall be allocated ratably based on the respective insufficiencies towards which such amounts are required to be allocated.

(iii) If, as determined on any Quarterly Calculation Date, the amount equal to the excess of (i) the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount for the Interest Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Senior Notes ending most recently prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date over (ii) the amount that will be available to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes in accordance with subclauses (i) and (ii) above on such Quarterly Payment Date, is greater than zero (a “Senior Notes Interest Accrual Shortfall Amount”), then in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding such Quarterly Payment Date, the Servicer shall arrange for a Debt Service Advance in such amount unless the Servicer notifies the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Trustee by such time that it has, reasonably and in good faith, determined such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Servicer fails to make such Debt Service Advance (unless the Servicer has, reasonably and in good faith, determined that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), pursuant to Section 10.1(l), the Trustee shall make the Debt Service Advance unless it determines that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance. In determining whether any Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer. All Debt Service Advances shall be deposited into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account. If, after giving effect to all Debt Service Advances made with respect to any Quarterly Payment Date, the Senior Notes Interest Accrual Shortfall Amount with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date remains greater than zero (such amount, a “Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount”), then the payment of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount as reduced by such Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount to be distributed on such Quarterly Payment Date to the Senior Notes shall be paid to the Senior Notes, sequentially in order of alphanumerical designation and pro rata among each Class of Senior Notes of the same alphanumerical designation based upon the amount of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount payable with respect to each such Class; provided that such reduction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any default caused by the existence of such Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount. An additional amount of interest may accrue on the Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount for each subsequent Interest Accrual Period until the Senior Notes Interest Shortfall Amount is paid in full, as set forth in the applicable Series Supplement.

53

(b) If any Retained Collections Contribution is included in Net Cash Flow for the purpose of calculating the DSCR, such Retained Collections Contribution shall be retained in the Collection Account until the Weekly Allocation Date on which either (i) the DSCR for the period of four Quarterly Collection Periods ended immediately prior to such Weekly Allocation Date is at least 1.50x without giving effect to the inclusion of such Retained Collections Contribution or (ii) such Retained Collections Contribution is required to pay any shortfall in the amounts payable under priorities (ii) through (xxvi) of the Priority of Payments, to the extent of any shortfall on such Weekly Allocation Date.

(d) On and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, any Retained Collections Contribution made after the end of a Quarterly Collection Period but prior to the Quarterly Calculation Date shall, at the discretion of the Co-Issuers, be included in the Net Cash Flow for such Quarterly Collection Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any funding of the Advance Funding Reserve Account shall not constitute a Retained Collections Contribution.

(e) Solely for the purposes of calculating any financial measure pursuant to this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, the amount of any deferred Franchisee Payments paid during any applicable Quarterly Fiscal Period (each a “Specified Deferred Amount”) will constitute “Retained Collections”, (x) prior to the Amendment Date, as if such Specified Deferred Amount was received on the date due (instead of the date actually received) and (y) on and after the Amendment Date, at the election of the Manager, to the extent that the Manager makes a corresponding equity contribution equal to such Specified Deferred Amount (such contribution, “Deemed Retained Collections”); provided that any Deemed Retained Collections made after the Amendment Date will constitute a Retained Collections Contribution until the date of receipt of payment of the corresponding Specified Deferred Amount. If and when the Securitization Entities receive the Specified Deferred Amount relating to any specific Deemed Retained Collections (i) such deferred Specified Deferred Amount will then constitute “Retained Collections” as if it had been received when initially due for purposes of calculating any financial measure pursuant to this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (i.e. there will be no double-counting of Deemed Retained Collections and related Specified Deferred Amounts when such Specified Deferred Amounts are received) and (ii) the related Deemed Retained Collections will no longer be deemed to constitute a Retained Collections Contribution.

67

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, any funding of the Advance Funding Reserve Account shall not constitute a Retained Collections Contribution.

Section 5.19 Interest Reserve Letters of Credit.

(a) The Co-Issuers may, in lieu of funding (or as partial replacement for funding) the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account and/or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account in the amounts required hereunder, maintain one or more Interest Reserve Letters of Credit issued under a Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Control Party and the Trustee, in each case, on behalf of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, each in a face amount equal to or (at the election of the Manager) greater than the amounts required to be funded in respect of such account(s) had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued.

(b) Where on any Quarterly Calculation Date the Co-Issuers (or the Manager on their behalf) instruct the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, for allocation or payment on the next Quarterly Payment Date, such funds shall be drawn, first, from amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, on such Quarterly Calculation Date and second, from amounts available to be drawn under the applicable Interest Reserve Letter of Credit.

(c) Each such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (a) shall name the Control Party and the Trustee, each for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, as the beneficiary thereof; (b) shall allow the Trustee (or the Control Party on its behalf) to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.14; (c) shall have an expiration date of no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the then-current Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date (after giving effect to any extensions) specified in the related Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit was issued; and (d) shall indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Class A-1 Notes Commitment Fees Account or the applicable Series Distribution Account, as applicable.

68

(d) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Interest Reserve Release Event, the Co-Issuers may deliver one or more replacement or amended Interest Reserve Letters of Credit to the Control Party, in which case the Control Party shall (without the consent of any Noteholder, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Secured Party) deliver to the Co-Issuers the replaced Interest Reserve Letters of Credit for termination simultaneously with the receipt by the Control Party of such replacement Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, in each case to the extent that after the Control Party’s receipt thereof no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount, as applicable, will exist for the immediately following Quarterly Payment Date.

(e) If, on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of any such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has not been replaced or renewed and the Co-Issuers have not otherwise deposited funds into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in the amounts that would otherwise be required had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued, the Control Party (on behalf of the Trustee) shall submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable (as directed in writing by the Manager), in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued.

(f) If, on any day, (i) the short-term debt credit rating of any entity which has issued an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (an “L/C Provider”) is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “A-2” or (ii) the long-term debt credit rating of any L/C Provider is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “BBB” (each of cases (i) and (ii), an “L/C Downgrade Event”), then (a) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the occurrence of such L/C Downgrade Event, the Trustee (at the direction of the Co-Issuers) or the Control Party (on behalf of the Trustee) shall submit a notice of drawing under each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Provider and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, as directed in writing by the Manager, in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued or (b) prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the occurrence of such L/C Downgrade Event, the Co-Issuers will obtain one or more replacement Interest Reserve Letters of Credit on substantially the same terms as each such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit being replaced.

(g) In the event that an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has been issued in satisfaction of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount, the Co-Issuers shall be entitled to submit an amendment to such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and/or the excess amount of the related Interest Reserve Letter of Credit may be reduced by delivering a replacement or amended Interest Reserve Letter of Credit to the Control Party reflecting such reduced amount. If the existing Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is so amended, the Trustee and the Control Party shall be entitled to execute or acknowledge such amendment based solely on the written confirmation from the Manager (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) acting in accordance with the Managing Standard as to the amount reflected in such amendment being at least equal difference between the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount and the amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account as of the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date (after the allocation of all amounts on such Weekly Allocation Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments). The Control Party will (without the consent of the Trustee, any Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Secured Party) deliver to the L/C Provider any replaced Interest Reserve Letter of Credit for termination promptly after the receipt by the Control Party of the related replacement Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, upon the Control Party’s receipt of the written confirmation from the Manager (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) acting in accordance with the Managing Standard that no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount will exist on the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date (after the allocation of all amounts on such Weekly Allocation Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments).

If, at any time, any Management Account or any of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Collection Account or any Collection Account Administrative Account shall cease to be an Eligible Account (each, an “Ineligible Account”), the Co-Issuers shall (or, in the case of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Co-Issuers shall cause the IHOP Franchisor to) (i) within five (5) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Control Party thereof and (ii) within sixty (60) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, (A) establish, or cause to be established, a new account that is an Eligible Account in substitution for such Ineligible Account, (B) with the exception of any Management Account, following the establishment of such new Eligible Account, transfer, or with respect to the Trustee Accounts maintained at the Trustee, instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer, all cash and investments from such Ineligible Account into such new Eligible Account, (C) in the case of a Management Account, following the establishment of such new Eligible Account, transfer or cause to be transferred to such new Eligible Account, all cash and investments from such Ineligible Account into such new Eligible Account, (D) in the case of a Management Account, transfer or cause to be transferred all items deposited in the lock-box related to such Ineligible Account to a new lock-box related to such new Eligible Account, and (E) pledge, or cause to be pledged, such new Eligible Account to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, if such Ineligible Account is required to be subject to an Account Control Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, cause such new Eligible Account to be subject to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Control Party and the Trustee.

The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors have filed, or shall have caused, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral (other than the Contributed Owned Real Property and the New Owned Real Property) granted to the Trustee hereunder or under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement no later than ten (10) days after the Amendment Date or such Series Closing Date; provided that with respect to Intellectual Property or the Real Estate Assets included in the Collateral, the Co-Issuers shall only take such action necessary to perfect such first-priority security interest consistent with and subject to the obligations and time periods set forth in Section 8.25(c), Section 8.25(e) or Section 8.37, as applicable.

76

(b) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder, pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or any other Permitted Lien, none of the Co-Issuers and none of the Guarantors has pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in the Collateral. All action necessary (including the filing of UCC-1 financing statements and filings with the PTO and the United States Copyright Office) to protect and evidence the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral in the United States has been, or shall be, duly and effectively taken, consistent with and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 7.13(a), Section 8.25(c), Section 8.25(e), or Section 8.37, except as described on Schedule 7.13(a). No security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation statement authorized by any Co-Issuer and any Guarantor and listing such Co-Issuer or Guarantor as debtor covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except in respect of Permitted Liens or such as may have been filed, recorded or made by such Co-Issuer or such Guarantor in connection with a Contribution Agreement or in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and no Co-Issuer or Guarantor has authorized any such filing.

(c) All authorizations in this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement for the Trustee to endorse checks, instruments and securities and to execute financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements and other instruments with respect to the Collateral and to take such other actions with respect to the Collateral authorized by this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are powers coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Transaction Documents (other than the Mortgages, if applicable), neither the Co-Issuers nor any Guarantor makes any representation as to the validity, effectiveness, priority or enforceability of any grant of security interest in any real property assets under Article III hereof or Section 3 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, including in each case the Real Estate Assets, or the perfection thereof, which in each case shall be governed by the Mortgages, if applicable.

Section 7.14 Transaction Documents.

The Indenture Documents, the Collateral Transaction Documents, the Account Agreements, the Depository Agreements, any Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, any Swap Contract, any Series Hedge Agreement and any Enhancement Agreement with respect to each Series of Notes are in full force and effect. There are no outstanding defaults thereunder nor have events occurred which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

Section 7.15 Non-Existence of Other Agreements.

Other than as permitted by Section 8.22 (a) no Securitization Entity is a party to any contract or agreement of any kind or nature and (b) no Securitization Entity is subject to any material obligations or liabilities of any kind or nature in favor of any third party, including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations. No Securitization Entity has engaged in any activities since its formation (other than those incidental to its formation, the authorization and the issuance of any Series of Notes, the execution of the Transaction Documents to which such Securitization Entity is a party and the performance of the activities referred to in or contemplated by such agreements).

77

Section 7.16 Compliance with Contractual Obligations and Laws.

No Securitization Entity is in violation of (a) its Charter Documents, (b) any Requirement of Law with respect to such Securitization Entity or (c) any Contractual Obligation with respect to such Securitization Entity except, solely with respect to clauses (b) and (c), to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.17 Other Representations.

All representations and warranties of each Securitization Entity made in each Transaction Document to which it is a party are true and correct (i) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (ii) if not qualified as to materiality, in all material respects (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all respects or in all material respects, as applicable, as of such earlier date), and are repeated herein as though fully set forth herein.

Section 7.18 No Employees.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or any Charter Documents of any Securitization Entity to the contrary, no Securitization Entity, has any employees.

All policies of insurance of the Securitization Entities are in full force and effect and the Securitization Entities are in compliance with the terms of such policies in all material respects. None of the Securitization Entities has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage, in all material respects, as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage, in all material respects, from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such insurance is primary coverage, all premiums therefor due on or before the date hereof have been paid in full, and the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Securitization Entities than the terms and conditions of insurance maintained by their Affiliates that are not Securitization Entities.

(iii) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including, without limitation, any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which any Securitization Entity is, or to the knowledge of the Securitization Entities will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Securitization Entities, threatened.

(iv) No Securitization Entity has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, or any other Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

The Trustee within five (5) Business Days of receiving direction of the Control Party will be required to deliver the Mortgages to the applicable recording office for recordation in the event that any Rapid Amortization Event occurs (or is continuing) on or following the 120th day following the occurrence of a Mortgage Preparation Event, unless such Mortgage Recordation Event is waived by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative). The Trustee may engage a third-party service provider (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Control Party) to assist in delivering the Mortgages to the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such Mortgage for recordation.

The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Co-Issuers for any and all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such Mortgage Recordation Event, including all Mortgage Recordation Fees, all premiums, fees and all other costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with delivery of the Title Policies and all fees and costs incurred in connection with local counsel enforceability opinions, pursuant to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Franchise Entities shall not be required to, and the Trustee may not, record or cause to be recorded any Mortgage or cause the issuance of any Title Policy or local counsel enforceability opinion until the occurrence of a Mortgage Recordation Event. Neither the Trustee nor any custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such Mortgages or to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are in recordable form.

105

(b) Proceedings To Collect Money. In case any Co-Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), 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 any Co-Issuer and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of any Co-Issuer, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

106

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture or, to the extent applicable, any other Transaction Document, with respect to the Collateral; provided that the Trustee will not be required to take title to any real property in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies hereunder or under such Transaction Documents and title to such property will instead be acquired in an entity designated and (unless owned by a third party) controlled by the Control Party (or one or more vehicles controlled by it); and/or

(iv) the receipt of the Trustee or of the officer thereof making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such officer thereof, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof; and

107

(v) any amounts obtained by the Trustee or the Control Party on behalf of the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the Control Party of any of its rights under the Indenture or under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, other than with respect to amounts owed to a depository bank or securities intermediary under the related Account Control Agreement, shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of the Obligations, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and, other than with respect to amounts owed to a depository bank or securities intermediary under the related Account Control Agreement, shall be applied in the priority set forth in Section 5.14 hereof; provided that, unless otherwise provided in the Indenture, with respect to any distribution to any Class of Notes, such amounts will be distributed sequentially in order of alphabetical (as opposed to alphanumerical) designation and pro rata among each Class of Notes of the same alphabetical designation based upon the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each such Class.

(e) Application of Proceeds. Any amounts obtained by the Trustee or the Control Party on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the Control Party of any right hereunder or under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of the Obligations, shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in the priority set forth in the Priority of Payments; provided that unless otherwise provided in this Article IX, with respect to any distribution to any Class of Notes, notwithstanding the provisions of Article V, such amounts shall be distributed sequentially in order of alphabetical (as opposed to alphanumerical) designation and pro rata among each Class of Notes of the same alphabetical designation based upon the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each such Class.

Section 9.5 Limited Recourse.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, the liability of the Securitization Entities to the Noteholders and any other Secured Parties under or in relation to the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the Collateral. The proceeds of the Collateral having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof, none of the Noteholders or any other Secured Parties shall be entitled to take any further steps against any Securitization Entity to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other agreements or documents described in this Section 9.5, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished.

Section 9.6 Optional Preservation of the Collateral.

If the maturity of the Outstanding Notes of each Series has been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall elect to maintain possession of such portion, if any, of the Collateral as the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall in its discretion determine.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. A Default or an Event of Default described in Section 9.2(d) shall not be subject to waiver without the consent of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and each Noteholder. Subject to Section 13.2, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), by notice to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer, may waive any existing Potential Rapid Amortization Event or any existing Rapid Amortization Event; provided that a Rapid Amortization Event pursuant to Section 9.1(d) relating to a particular Series of Notes (or Class, Subclass or Tranche thereof) shall not be permitted to be waived by any party unless each Noteholder of such Series of Notes (or Class, Subclass or Tranche thereof) that have not been repaid or refinanced in full prior to the applicable Series Anticipated Payment Date has consented to such waiver.

109

(b) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may take any other action deemed proper by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) that is not inconsistent with such direction (as the same may be modified by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)); and

(c) such direction shall be in writing;

provided further that, subject to Section 10.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received an indemnity for such liability as provided herein.

Section 9.9 Limitation on Suits.

Any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Holder of Notes may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or any other Transaction Document only if:

(a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

A Noteholder may not use the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.

Section 9.10 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder of the Note.

Section 9.11 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized 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 Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders or any other Secured Party, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which any of the Noteholders or any other Secured Party may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding.

Section 9.12 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 9.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.9 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes.

Section 9.13 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the 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 Trustee, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.14 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.15 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any Holder of any Note or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article IX or by law to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party may be exercised from time to time to the extent not inconsistent with the Indenture, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party, as the case may be.

112

Section 9.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

Each Co-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 the Indenture or any other Transaction Document; and each Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

113

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Event of which the Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge:

(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and no others, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and no other duties or implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture or any other Transaction Document against the Trustee; and

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the 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 Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture and any other applicable Transaction Document; provided in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Indenture and shall promptly notify the party of any non-conformity.

(i) This clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (a) of this Section 10.1.

(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Mortgage Recordation Event, Default, Event of Default, Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event, Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event or Servicer Termination Event or the commencement and continuation of a Cash Flow Sweeping Period (prior to the Springing Amendments Implementation Date) or a Cash Trapping Period (on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date) until such time as a Trust Officer shall have Actual Knowledge or have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such Actual Knowledge or receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event has occurred or is continuing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, no provision of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or exercise of its rights or powers hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.

(e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon Actual Knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible (i) for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral, (ii) for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, (iii) for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (iv) for the validity of the title of the Securitization Entities to the Collateral, (v) for insuring the Collateral or (vi) for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents by the Securitization Entities.

115

(i) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the Indenture or at the direction of the Servicer, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the holders of the requisite percentage of Noteholders, relating to the time, method and place for conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Base Indenture or any other circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture.

(j) The Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Base Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recordings or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redeposition of any thereof (other than with respect to filings of the Mortgages as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1(c)); (ii) to see to any insurance, (iii) except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1(e), to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind or (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Manager, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager or the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(k) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of the performance of its duties under the Indenture.

(l) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, the Trustee shall make Debt Service Advances to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 5.14(a) hereof; provided that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be obligated to advance any principal on the Notes, any make-whole prepayment consideration, any Series Hedge Payment Amounts, any Class A-1 Notes Administrative Expenses, any Class A-1 Notes Quarterly Commitment Fees Amount, any Post-ARD Additional Interest, any amounts required to be deposited to the Hedge Payment Account or any reserve amounts or any interest payable on, or any other amount due with respect to, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Notes. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall not be required to make any Debt Service Advance in respect of any Class A-1 Interest Adjustment Amount to the extent such Debt Service Advance would be duplicative of a Debt Service Advance already made with respect to such Quarterly Calculation Date. To the extent an Alternative Advance Funding Facility is in effect, the Trustee shall not be required to make Advances to the extent (a) the provider thereunder has determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, (b) such Alternative Advance Funding Facility has been terminated, or (c) there are no amounts available thereunder.

116

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debt Service Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Trustee if the Trustee determines such Debt Service Advance (including interest thereon) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Debt Service Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by the Trustee in its reasonable good faith judgment. The Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such determination will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders. The Trustee may update or change its nonrecoverability determination at any time, and may decide that a requested Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously deemed to be a Nonrecoverable Advance shall have become recoverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding Debt Service Advances and Collateral Protection Advances made by the Trustee and any accrued interest thereon shall be paid strictly in accordance with the Priority of Payments, even if the Trustee determines that any such advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance after such Advance has been made.

(iii) The Trustee shall be entitled to receive interest at the Advance Interest Rate accrued on the amount of each Debt Service Advance made thereby (with its own funds) for so long as such Debt Service Advance is outstanding. Such interest with respect to any Debt Service Advance made pursuant to this Section 10.1(l) shall be payable out of Collections in accordance with the Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 5.13 hereof and the other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be due and payable in arrears on each Weekly Allocation Date.

(iv) On and after the Advance Funding Effective Date, Advances shall be limited to amounts held in the Advance Funding Reserve Account and amounts available for such purpose under the Alternative Advance Funding Facility. In no event will the Servicer (to the extent it remains in any capacity in the Securitization Transactions) or the Trustee be required to make any Advances of any nature whatsoever if the Advance Funding Provider does not provide the funds available therefor.

Section 10.2 Rights of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, instrument, report, consent, order, document or other paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person.

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

The Co-Issuers will thereupon seek the consent, direction, instruction or appropriate action from the Controlling Class Members and will provide the Trustee with evidence of such consent, direction or instruction or the specific action to be taken. If the Co-Issuers do not provide the Trustee with evidence that the Majority of the Controlling Class Members has provided such consent, direction, instruction or specific action, the Trustee will have no further responsibility with respect to any rights, remedies or obligations of the Control Party and the Trustee will have no liability for any consent, direction, instruction, action or failure to consent, direct, instruct or act on the part of the Control Party.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or thereunder or in relation hereto or thereto, at the request, order or direction of the Servicer, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any of the Noteholders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document, unless the Trustee has been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or direction.

(g) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes. If the Trustee is so requested or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Securitization Entities, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of the Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted.

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

(m) All rights of action and claims under this Base Indenture may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payments to the Trustee provided for in Section 10.5, be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(n) The Trustee may request written direction from any applicable party any time the Indenture provides that the Trustee may be directed to act.

(o) Any request or direction of the Co-Issuers mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order.

(q) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of, DTC, any transfer agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity), Clearstream, Euroclear, any calculation agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity), or any agent appointed by it with due care or any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity).

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

122

Section 10.6 Replacement of the Trustee.

(b) The Trustee may, after giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Co-Issuers, the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative, each Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Rating Agency, resign at any time from its office and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. Subject to the appointment of a successor Trustee, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative or, if there is no Controlling Class Representative at such time, a Majority of Controlling Class Members) or the Co-Issuers may remove the Trustee by delivering written notice of such removal to the Trustee, or any Noteholder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee, if at any time:

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged as bankrupt or Insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code;

(iii) the Trustee fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due; or

(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers shall promptly, with the prior written consent of the Control Party, appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Majority of Controlling Class Members (with the prior written consent of the Control Party) may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Co-Issuers.

(c) If a successor Trustee is not appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee is not delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, at the direction of the Control Party, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Co-Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Document to which the Trustee is a party. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, the Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 10.5 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

123

(f) No successor Trustee may accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor is qualified and eligible under this Base Indenture and a Rating Agency Notification has been provided and the Control Party has provided its consent with respect to such appointment.

Section 10.7 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 10.8, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that written notice of such consolidation, merger or conversion shall be provided to the Co-Issuers, the Servicer, the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent; provided, further, that the resulting or successor corporation is eligible to be a Trustee under Section 10.8.

Section 10.8 Eligibility Disqualification.

(a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, (iv) be reasonably acceptable to the Control Party and (v) have a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” and “Baa1” by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, and, if it has a rating by KBRA, “BBB” by KBRA.

(b) At any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section 10.8(a), the Trustee shall resign after written request that it do so by the Co-Issuers, or by the Control Party at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.6.

Section 10.9 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power upon notice to the Control Party, the Co-Issuers and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent 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, for all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8 or shall be otherwise acceptable to the Servicer. No notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Servicer and the Co-Issuers unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

124

(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) the Notes of each Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 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 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 Trustee;

(iii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such trustee or co-trustee as an agent of the Trustee; and

(iv) the 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 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 Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article X. 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 Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is a party, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement, or any other Transaction Document which the Trustee is a party relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Co-Issuers.

125

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the 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 to this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document 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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(b) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Base Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and to authenticate the Notes, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Base Indenture and any such other Transaction Document and to authenticate the Notes;

(c) this Base Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee; and

(d) the Trustee meets the requirements of eligibility as a trustee hereunder set forth in Section 10.8(a).

Section 10.11 Confidentiality.

(a) “Confidential Information” means trade secrets and other information (including, without limitation, know how, ideas, techniques, recipes, formulas, customer lists, customer information, financial information, business methods and processes, marketing plans, specifications, and other similar information as well as internal materials prepared by the owner of such information containing or based, in whole or in part, on any such information) that is confidential and proprietary to its owner and that is disclosed by one party to an agreement to another party thereto whether in writing or disclosed orally, and whether or not designated as confidential.

126

(b) The Trustee acknowledges that during the term of this Base Indenture it may receive Confidential Information in its capacity as Trustee from any Non-Securitization Entity, the Securitization Entities, the Manager and the Back-Up Manager. The Trustee agrees to use reasonable controls (but in all events at least the same degree of care and controls that the Trustee uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance) to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence and only use the Confidential Information for purposes of its duties under this Base Indenture, and will not, at any time, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity other than those of its affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or representatives who have a “need to know” such information in connection with this Base Indenture (collectively, the “Representatives”), and its applicable regulatory authorities and auditors. The Trustee shall inform its Representatives of these restrictions, shall be liable for any action, or use or disclosure of Confidential Information by its Representatives which would have constituted a breach of this Section 10.11 had such Representative been a party hereto and shall immediately notify the Manager in the event of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is already known to the Trustee without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from any Non-Securitization Entity, a Securitization Entity or other party to a Transaction Document; (ii) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by breach of this Base Indenture by, or other wrongful act of, the Trustee or any of its Representatives; (iii) is developed by the Trustee independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information; (iv) is received by the Trustee from a third party who is not under any obligation to any Non-Securitization Entity, any Securitization Entity or any other party to a Transaction Document to maintain the confidentiality of such information or (v) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, subpoena, court order or legal process; provided that the Trustee promptly notifies the Securitization Entities and the Manager of any such requirement and reasonably cooperates with the Securitization Entities and the Manager to minimize the extent of any such disclosure. The duties hereunder shall survive termination of this Base Indenture and (A) for trade secret information, shall continue for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and (B) for all other Confidential Information, shall continue for three (3) years after the term of this Base Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.11, the disclosure of Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of any Transaction Document shall not be a violation of this Section 10.11.

(c) All books, records, documents, papers or other materials relating to any Non-Securitization Entity’s, any Securitization Entity’s or the Manager’s business, Intellectual Property, customers, suppliers, distributors, franchisees, products or projects received by the Trustee containing Confidential Information or other proprietary information or trade secrets of any Non-Securitization Entity, any Securitization Entity or the Manager, including any copies thereof, shall at all times be and remain the property of the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, and shall be destroyed or returned immediately to the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, upon termination of this Base Indenture, or earlier at the request of the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager; provided that the Trustee may retain such limited media and materials containing Confidential Information for customary archival and audit purposes (including with respect to regulatory compliance) only for reference with respect to the prior dealings between the parties and subject to the confidentiality terms of this Base Indenture. Upon request, the Trustee shall provide an officer’s certificate attesting to the return and/or destruction of all materials containing any Non-Securitization Entity’s, any Securitization Entity’s or the Manager’s Confidential Information.

(d) Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall be construed as preventing any Non-Securitization Entity or any Securitization Entity, all of which shall be third-party beneficiaries of the rights arising under this Section 10.11, as applicable, from pursuing any and all remedies available to it for the breach or threatened breach of covenants made in this Section 10.11, including recovery of money damages for temporary or permanent injunctive relief.

ARTICLE XI

CONTROLLING CLASS REPRESENTATIVE AND CONTROL PARTY

Section 11.1 Controlling Class Representative.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the Amendment Date or any CCR Re-election Event, the Trustee shall deliver a written notice to the Controlling Class Member (with copies to the Manager and the Co-Issuers) in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, announcing an election and soliciting nominations for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Nomination Notice”). The Trustee will post the CCR Nomination Notice on its password-protected website at http://www.sf.citidirect.com and deliver the CCR Nomination Notice (i) with respect to the Book-Entry Notes, through the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency and (ii) with respect to any Class A-1 Notes, via email to each Class A-1 Administrative Agent. In addition, the Trustee shall post the CCR Nomination Notice on its password-protected website at http://www.sf.citidirect.com. Each Controlling Class Member shall be allowed to nominate itself as a CCR Candidate or may nominate one Eligible Third-Party Candidate as a CCR Candidate (and will not be permitted to nominate any other Person or entity as a CCR Candidate; provided that any nomination submitted by a Controlling Class Member may be submitted by means of the Applicable Procedures through its DTC custodian) by submitting a nomination to the Trustee in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (a “CCR Nomination”) no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) within the period specified in the CCR Nomination Notice, which will be five (5) Business Days from the date thereof (the “CCR Nomination Period”). A CCR Candidate does not have to be a Controlling Class Member, but if it is not a Controlling Class Member, it must certify that it (i) is an established enterprise in the business of providing credit support, governance or other advisory services to holders of notes similar to the Notes issued by the Co-Issuers and (ii) is not (w) a Competitor, (x) a Tax-Restricted Affiliate, (y) a Franchisee or (z) formed solely to act as the Controlling Class Representative (the candidate described in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Eligible Third-Party Candidate”). Each Controlling Class Member nominating a CCR Candidate shall also be required to represent and warrant that (i) as of a date not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Nomination Notice (each such date, a “CCR Nomination Record Date”), such Controlling Class Member was the Holder or Noteholder of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination and (ii) the CCR Candidate nominated by such Controlling Class Member is a Controlling Class Member or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate. CCR Nominations may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Nomination Notice, and no originals, notarizations or medallion signature guarantees shall be required, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and will be fully protected in relying on, CCR Nominations submitted in such manner. Each nomination shall include a contact for the CCR Candidate, together with such contacts direct email and phone number. The contact must be available to answer any questions raised by a Noteholder or Note Owner. Such contact information will be posted on the Trustee’s website. There shall be no minimum denomination required to be held by a Controlling Class Member for it to nominate itself or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate. In completing the CCR Nomination, the Controlling Class Member (or its DTC custodian on its behalf) shall certify that they have consulted with their nominee and that their nominee has confirmed that they are either a Controlling Class Member or an Eligible-Third Party Candidate and, if elected, are willing to serve as Controlling Class Representative. Each CCR Nomination shall become irrevocable upon receipt by the Trustee of a valid and complete CCR Nomination.

128

(b) Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Trustee no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the last day of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no CCR Nomination has been received and there is no Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall deliver a notice in the form of Exhibit Q (a “Notice Regarding CCR Election”) to the Manager, the Co-Issuers, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Members that no CCR Nominations have been received and that no CCR Election will occur, (ii) if one or more nominations have been received, the Trustee shall prepare and send to each applicable Controlling Class Member a ballot in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (the “CCR Ballot”) naming the top three candidates based upon the highest aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of Controlling Class Members nominating such candidate (or, if fewer than three (3) candidates are nominated, the CCR Ballot shall list all candidates) or (iii) if a Controlling Class Representative currently exists and no CCR Nominations are received prior to the end of the CCR Nomination Period, the Trustee will deliver a Notice Regarding CCR Election to the Manager, the Co-Issuers, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Members stating that no CCR Election will be held and that the Person then serving as the current Controlling Class Representative will be deemed reelected and will remain the Controlling Class Representative; provided that for such nomination purposes, with respect to any Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for a CCR Candidate in an election for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election”) by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Trustee no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) within the time period specified in the CCR Ballot, which shall be five (5) Business Days of the date of the CCR Ballot (a “CCR Election Period”), certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (a “CCR Election Period”), certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), it was the owner or beneficial owner (or the DTC custodian of the owner or beneficial owner) of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified by such Controlling Class Member in the CCR Ballot, and including a notarization or medallion signature guarantee. In completing a CCR Ballot, the Controlling Class Member (or its DTC custodian on its behalf) shall vote the full Outstanding Principal Amount (or, with respect to Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount) of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in the CCR Ballot to one (1) candidate and, for the avoidance of doubt, no more than one (1) candidate shall be indicated per CUSIP. CCR Ballots may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Ballots, and no originals shall be required, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, CCR Ballots submitted in such manner. Each CCR Ballot shall become irrevocable upon receipt by the Trustee of a valid and complete CCR Ballot. At the end of the CCR Election Period, the Trustee shall tabulate the votes that were submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last day of the CCR Election Period. If both (i) the CCR Voting Amount is greater than or equal to the CCR Quorum Amount and (ii) a CCR Candidate receives votes representing in excess of 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, such CCR Candidate will be elected the Controlling Class Representative.

129

(c) Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Co-Issuers or any Affiliate of the Co-Issuers shall not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates both receive votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, the Co-Issuers (or the Manager on their behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement) will select the Controlling Class Representative from among such CCR Candidates receiving votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount. If either (i) no CCR Candidate receives votes representing at least 50% of the CCR Voting Amount or (ii) votes are submitted by less than the CCR Quorum Amount, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members that a Controlling Class Representative will not be elected and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a Controlling Class Representative is elected or selected (i) the Control Party shall exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Transaction Document shall be delivered to the Control Party.

(d) In the event that a Controlling Class Representative is elected or chosen pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Trustee shall forward an acceptance letter in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto (a “CCR Acceptance Letter”) to such Controlling Class Representative for execution and notarization. No Person shall be appointed Controlling Class Representative unless such Person delivers to the Trustee an executed CCR Acceptance Letter within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof. In the CCR Acceptance Letter, the Person accepting the role of Controlling Class Representative shall (i) agree to act as the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) provide its name and contact information and permit such information to be shared with the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members and (iii) represent and warrant that it is a Controlling Class Member or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate. Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the executed CCR Acceptance Letter, the Trustee will promptly forward copies thereof, or provide the new Controlling Class Representative’s identity and contact information, to the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members.

(e) Within two (2) Business Days of any other change in the name or address of the Controlling Class Representative of which the Trustee has received notice from the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall post such notice to the Trustee’s internet website and deliver such notice to each Noteholder, each Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party a notice setting forth the name and address of the new Controlling Class Representative. The prior Controlling Class Representative (if any) shall cease to be the Controlling Class Representative at the end of any CCR Election Period following a CCR Re-election Event (so long as a CCR Election is held at such time) unless it is re-elected (or deemed re-elected) as Controlling Class Representative after such CCR Election Period as described above, even if no candidate is elected as a successor Controlling Class Representative at the end of such CCR Election Period.

(f) The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and will be fully protected in all actions taken or not taken by it with respect to, (i) the email information provided by each Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency for delivery of the CCR Nomination Notices and CCR Ballots to holders and beneficial owners of the Controlling Class and (ii) with respect to all CCR Re-election Events, the representations and warranties of the Persons submitting CCR Nominations, CCR Ballots and CCR Acceptance Letters.

130

(g) The Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and as Control Party) and the Back-Up Manager shall each be entitled to rely on the identity of the Controlling Class Representative provided by the Trustee with respect to any obligation or right hereunder or under any other Transaction Document that the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and Control Party) or the Back-Up Manager, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Controlling Class Representative or any of the Noteholders of the Controlling Class, with no liability to it for such reliance.

(h) The Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee, upon request, any memoranda delivered to the Trustee by the Back-Up Manager pursuant to the Back-Up Management Agreement; provided that it shall have first executed a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, and such confidentiality agreement remains in effect. Any such memoranda shall be deemed to contain confidential information.

Section 11.2 Resignation or Removal of the Controlling Class Representative. The Controlling Class Representative may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Manager, the Servicer and to each Noteholder of the Controlling Class (with a copy of such resignation provided to the Back-Up Manager). As of any Record Date, a Majority of Controlling Class Members shall be entitled to remove any existing Controlling Class Representative by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Manager, the Servicer and such existing Controlling Class Representative (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager). No resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative shall become effective until a successor Controlling Class Representative has been appointed pursuant to Section 11.1 or until the end of the CCR Election Period (or, if no CCR Election Period has occurred after a CCR Nomination Period, until the end of the related CCR Nomination Period) following such resignation or removal; provided that any Controlling Class Representative that has been removed pursuant to this Section 11.2 may subsequently be nominated as a CCR Candidate (provided that such Controlling Class Representative candidate satisfies the requirements of Section 11.1) and appointed as Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 11.1; provided, further, that an existing Controlling Class Representative shall cease to be the Controlling Class Representative at the end of a CCR Election Period, even if no successor is re-elected, unless such Controlling Class Representative is elected during such CCR Election Period (except that, if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Trustee and there is a Controlling Class Representative at such time, the Person serving as the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed re-elected and shall continue to serve as the Controlling Class Representative). In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of the selection, resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer and the parties to this Base Indenture of such event.

131

Section 11.3 Expenses and Liabilities of the Controlling Class Representative.

(a) The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Noteholders or the Note Owners for any action or omission taken or made in good faith or for errors in judgment; provided that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Indenture or for actions (including instructing or directing the Trustee, the Control Party or others to act) in violation of the terms of the Notes or the other Transaction Documents. Each Note Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Notes or interests therein, that (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Note Owners of one or more Classes of Notes, or that conflict with other Note Owners, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Members or in its own interest, (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any duties to Note Owners other than the Controlling Class Members, (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of the Controlling Class Members over the interests of Note Owners of one or more other Classes of Notes, or that favor its own interests over those of other Note Owners or other Controlling Class Members, (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Members or in its own interests, and (vi) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted pursuant to clauses (i) through (v), and no Note Owner or Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative for having so acted or against any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b) Any and all expenses of the Controlling Class Representative shall be borne by the Controlling Class Members (and not by any other party), pro rata according to their respective Outstanding Principal Amounts of Notes of the Controlling Class; provided that the Controlling Class Members shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Controlling Class Representative for expenses in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Indenture, or for actions by the Controlling Class Representative (including instructing or directing the Trustee, the Control Party or others to act) in violation of the terms of the Notes or the other Transaction Documents. However, if a claim is made against the Controlling Class Representative in an action to which the Servicer or the Trustee are also named parties and, in the sole judgment of the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative had acted in good faith, without willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard, with regard to the subject of the claim and not in violation of the terms of the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to assume the defense (with any costs incurred in connection therewith being deemed to be reimbursable as a Collateral Protection Advance) of such claim against the Controlling Class Representative, so long as there is no potential for the Servicer or the Trustee to be an adverse party in the same action as regards the Controlling Class Representative.

132

Section 11.4 Control Party.

(a) The Control Party is authorized to consent to and implement, subject to the Servicing Standard, any Consent Request that does not require the consent of any Noteholder or the Controlling Class Representative.

(b) For any Consent Request that expressly requires, pursuant to the terms of this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, the consent, waiver or direction of any Noteholders or the Controlling Class Representative, the Servicer in its capacity as Control Party shall review such Consent Request and shall formulate and present a Consent Recommendation to the Controlling Class Representative whether to approve or reject such Consent Request. The Control Party shall not be authorized to implement any such Consent Request until the Control Party receives the consent, waiver or direction of the Controlling Class Representative; provided that subject to Section 6.3 of the Servicing Agreement, if the Controlling Class Representative fails to approve or reject a Consent Request within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Consent Request and the related Consent Recommendation, or if there is no Person acting as the Controlling Class Representative at such time, the Control Party shall be authorized (but not required) to implement such Consent Request in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that a Majority of Controlling Class Members and, in certain instances, the consent of the Trustee will be required to waive any Servicer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, amendments or waivers affecting the rights of the holders of the Class A-1 Notes shall also require the consent of the Class A-1 Administrative Agent.

(c) For any Consent Request that expressly requires the consent or direction of affected Noteholders or 100% of the Noteholders pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, such as, among other things, any amendment, waiver or other modification that would extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or change the provisions of the Priority of Payments, the Control Party shall review such Consent Request and shall formulate and present a Consent Recommendation to the Trustee, which will forward such Consent Request and Consent Recommendation to the applicable Noteholders. Until the consent of each Noteholder that is required to consent has been obtained and the Control Party is provided with notice of such consents being obtained by the Co-Issuers, the Control Party shall not implement such Consent Request; provided that the Control Party shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, respond to reasonable requests from the Co-Issuers and the Trustee to identify and deliver to the Trustee for posting to the Trustee’s internet website such additional information in its possession as may be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard to obtain such consent.

(d) The Control Party shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Controlling Class Representative if the Control Party determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, not to implement a Consent Request or has not received the requisite consent of the Controlling Class Representative or the Noteholders, if applicable, to implement a Consent Request.

The initial effectiveness of each Supplement shall be subject to the delivery to the Servicer and the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and the conditions precedent set forth herein with respect thereto have been satisfied.

For the avoidance of doubt, the prior written consent of the Control Party shall not be required for any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any of the Transaction Documents to the extent that all affected Noteholders have or have been deemed to have provided their consent by the purchase of Notes that include such terms; provided that notwithstanding any requirement in any such Transaction Documents that the Control Party direct the Trustee to enter into such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender, the Trustee may enter into such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender without the direction of the Control Party. The Control Party may conclusively rely on a Noteholder having granted consent to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any of the Transaction Documents to the extent that such Noteholder has acquired Notes of a new Series with such amended terms and conditions.

In addition, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, this Base Indenture, the Management Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Back-Up Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified by the parties thereto or the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Trustee and any other applicable party may enter into new Transaction Documents without the consent of the Control Party, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative, or any Noteholder, for the purpose of removing the concept of the Servicer and/or modifying, replacing or subdividing the role of the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative; provided that (x) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition shall be required for any amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or new Transaction Document pursuant to this paragraph and (y) to the extent that such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or new Transaction Document impacts the rights, indemnities, protections, remedies, liabilities, duties and/or obligations of the Control Party, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Back-Up Manager, in which case the consent of the Control Party, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Back-Up Manager, as applicable, shall be required (x) to the extent that the Control Party, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Back-Up Manager, as applicable, will continue to act as Control Party, Trustee, Servicer or Back-Up Manager, as applicable, or (y) to the extent any surviving rights, indemnities, protections, remedies, liabilities, duties and/or obligations of the Control Party, Servicer or Back-Up Manager not continuing to act in such capacity are adversely affected, in each case, following the execution of any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or new Transaction Document.

146

Section 13.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. The Co-Issuers may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.

Section 13.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Co-Issuers, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 13.6 The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article XIII if the Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the Co-Issuers and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

Section 13.7 Amendments and Fees.

The Co-Issuers, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative shall negotiate any amendments, waivers or modifications to the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents that require the consent of the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative in good faith, and any consent required to be given by the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. The Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Co-Issuers only for the reasonable counsel fees incurred by the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative in reviewing and approving any amendment or in providing any consents, and except as provided in the Servicing Agreement, neither the Control Party nor the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to any additional compensation in connection with any amendments or consents to this Base Indenture or to any Transaction Document.

If to an Enhancement Provider or an Hedge Counterparty: At the address provided in the applicable Enhancement Agreement or the applicable Series Hedge Agreement.

(a) The Co-Issuers or the Trustee by notice to each other party may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications; provided the Co-Issuers may not at any time designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be effective.

(b) Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by facsimile shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one (1) Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier, (v) when posted on a password-protected website shall be deemed delivered after notice of such posting has been provided to the recipient and (vi) delivered by email shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no liability based upon or arising from the failure to receive any notice required by or relating to the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document.

(d) If any Co-Issuer delivers a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall deliver a copy to the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Trustee at the same time.

(e) Reasonably concurrently with the time any report, notice or other document is provided to the Rating Agencies and/or the Trustee, or caused to be provided, by any Co-Issuer or the Manager under this Base Indenture (including, without limitation, under Section 8.8, Section 8.9 or Section 8.11) or under the related Series Supplement, the Co-Issuers shall provide each Class A-1 Administrative Agent with a copy of such report, notice or other document; provided that neither the Manager nor the Co-Issuers shall have any obligation under this Section 14.1(e) to deliver to any Class A-1 Administrative Agent copies of any Quarterly Noteholders’ Reports that relate solely to a Series of Notes other than such Series under which the related Class A-1 Notes were issued; provided, further, that this clause (ii) shall not apply in connection with a Series Refinancing Event to a Class A-1 Administrative Agent for any Class A-1 Notes issued in connection therewith.

(f) The Co-Issuers shall provide to each Rating Agency a copy of each Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to a Transaction Document; provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply in connection with a Series Refinancing Event to a Rating Agency rating the Notes issued in connection therewith.

150

(g) Where the Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if sent in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed (if any) for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to a Noteholder 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 which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. Where the 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 Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, for so long as Dine Brands Global, Inc. is the Manager, any notice, communication, certificate, report, statement or other information required to be delivered by the Manager to any Co-Issuer, or by any Co-Issuer to the Manager, shall be deemed to have been delivered to both the Co-Issuer and the Manager if the Manager has prepared or is otherwise in possession of such notice, communication, certificate, report, statement or other information, and in no event shall the Manager or any Co-Issuer be in breach of any delivery requirements hereunder for constructive delivery pursuant to this Section 14.1(h).

Section 14.2 Communication by Noteholders With Other Noteholders.

Noteholders may communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under the Indenture or the Notes.

Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

Section 14.4 Statements Required in Certificate.

Each certificate with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in the Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall include:

151

(a) a statement that the Person giving such certificate has read such covenant or condition;

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

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to reach an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

Section 14.7 Payment on Business Day.

In any case where any Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any), as the case may be, 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 Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be.

Section 14.8 Governing Law.

THIS BASE INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

Section 14.9 Successors.

All agreements of each of the Co-Issuers in the Indenture, the Notes and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party shall bind its successors and assigns; provided no Co-Issuer may assign its obligations or rights under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, except with the written consent of the Control Party. All agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture shall bind its successors.

152

Section 14.10 Severability.

In case any provision in the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document 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 14.13 No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Securitization Entities.

Each of the Noteholders, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, any Securitization Entity any arrangement or any Insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings, under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided that nothing in this Section 14.13 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from the Securitization Entities pursuant to the Indenture or any other Transaction Document. In the event that any such Noteholder or other Secured Party or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 14.13, each affected Securitization Entity shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Noteholder or Secured Party or the Trustee against such Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Noteholder or other Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 14.13 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Noteholder or any other Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity.

Section 14.14 Recording of Indenture.

If the Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Co-Issuers and at their expense.

153

Section 14.15 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE CO-ISSUERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS BASE INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

Section 14.16 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

Each of the Co-Issuers and the Trustee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Co-Issuers or the Trustee, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 14.1 or at such other address of which the Trustee shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 14.16 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

154

Section 14.18 Calculation of Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio and Senior Leverage Ratio.

(a) Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio. In the event that the Dine Brands Entities incur, repay, repurchase or redeem any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio is made, then the Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods (including in the case of any incurrence or issuance, a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom); provided that the Manager may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (with respect to which the Trustee shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time.

For purposes of making the computation of the Dine Brands Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation the calculation of Covenant-Adjusted EBITDA used therein), investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any restructurings or reorganizations that any of the Dine Brands Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods and on or prior to or simultaneously with the date as of which such computation is made (each, for purposes of this Section 14.18(a), a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change in Covenant-Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Dine Brands Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods shall have made any investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, restructurings or reorganizations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18(a), then the Dine Brands Global, Inc. Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, consolidation, restructurings or reorganizations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

For purposes of making the computation of the Dine Brands Leverage Ratio, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations will be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Manager. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Manager as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (with respect to which the Trustee will have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Covenant-Adjusted EBITDA,” to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

155

(b) Senior Leverage Ratio. For In the event that the Securitization Entities incur, repay, repurchase or redeem any Senior Notes subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Senior Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Senior Leverage Ratio is made, then the Senior Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Senior Notes, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods (including in the case of any incurrence or issuance, a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom); provided that the Manager may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (with respect to which the Trustee shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Senior Notes as being incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Senior Notes under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time.

For purposes of making the computation of the Senior Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation, the calculation of Net Cash Flow used therein), investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any restructurings or reorganizations that any of the Securitization Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods and on or prior to or simultaneously with the date as of which such computation is made (each, for purposes of this Section 14.18(b), a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change in Net Cash Flow resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods shall have made any investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, restructurings or reorganizations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18(b), then the Senior Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, restructurings or reorganizations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

For purposes of making the computation of the Senior Leverage Ratio, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Manager. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Manager as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (with respect to which the Trustee shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies, reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Net Cash Flow,” to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

156

Section 14.19 Amendment and Restatement.

The execution and delivery of this Base Indenture shall constitute an amendment and restatement, but not a novation, of the Original Base Indenture and the obligations and liabilities of the Co-Issuers under the Original Base Indenture and the pledge of the Indenture Collateral made by the Co-Issuers thereunder to the Trustee. Except as specifically amended and restated under this Base Indenture, all Liens, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments and security interests securing the Original Base Indenture and the obligations and liabilities of the Co-Issuers relating thereto are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed, extended, brought forward and rearranged as security for the Obligations, shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Amendment Date. The Co-Issuers hereby reaffirm all UCC financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereof filed and all other filings and recordations made in respect of the Indenture Collateral and the Liens and security interests granted under the Original Base Indenture and this Base Indenture and acknowledge that all such filings and recordations were and remain authorized and effective on and after the date hereof.

Section 14.20 Electronic Signatures and Transmission.

(a) For purposes of this Base Indenture, any reference to “written” or “in writing” means any form of written communication, including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication may be transmitted by Electronic Transmission. “Electronic Transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. The Trustee is authorized to accept written instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications delivered by Electronic Transmission and shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by Electronic Transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such Electronic Transmission, and the Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(b) Any requirement in this Base Indenture that a document is to be signed or authenticated by “manual signature” or similar language shall not be deemed to prohibit signature to be by facsimile or electronic signature and shall not be deemed to prohibit delivery thereof by Electronic Transmission.

157

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and sent by Electronic Transmission shall be encrypted. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission shall be required to complete a one-time registration process.
