11

Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Master Issuer shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (or de-registration, in the case of Uncertificated Notes) (the “Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.08(a)) (the “Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes (or evidence of ownership of Uncertificated Notes) may be presented for payment. The 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 (and stated interest) amount owing to each Noteholder from time to time. The Master Issuer 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 “Registrar” shall include any co-registrars. The Master Issuer may change the Paying Agent or the Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. The Master Issuer 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 Registrar and the Paying Agent and shall send copies of all notices and demands received by the Trustee (other than those sent by the Master Issuer to the Trustee and those addressed to the Master Issuer) in connection with the Notes to the Master Issuer. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Master Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Registrar or, in the absence of such appointment, the Master Issuer shall assume the duties of the Registrar.
(b) The Master Issuer 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.

Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Master Issuer 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 2.06, 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 the Master 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 set forth in Section 10.08. at the time of its appointment; and
12

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable Requirements of Law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding Taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.
(b) The Master Issuer 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.
(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 (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Master Issuer upon delivery of a Company Order. The Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Master Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Master Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money paid to the Master Issuer shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Master Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City 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 Master Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Master Issuer, any other commercially reasonable means of notification of such repayment.
Noteholder List. (a) The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, 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 Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, 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. Unless otherwise provided in the Series Supplement for such Series, the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by Note Owners satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 11.05(b) (“Applicants”) for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give the Master Issuer notice that such request has been made, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Registrar 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.
13

(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 Registrar, the Master Issuer 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.
Transfer and Exchange. (a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note (or as set forth in any Series Supplement with respect to the transfer and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Notes) at the office or agency of the Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.08(f) and Section 8‑401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Master Issuer shall (except in the case of Uncertificated Notes) execute and, after the Master Issuer has 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, Tranche or Subclass) and a like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred. At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged (or de-registered) for other Notes (or in the case of an exchange for Uncertificated Notes, registered) of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Tranche or Subclass) 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 Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 2.08(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Master Issuer shall execute, and after the Master Issuer has executed (other than Uncertificated Notes), the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) (other than Uncertificated Notes) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Master Issuer and the 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 and the Registrar may require. The Master Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the 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 (including the transfer of Uncertificated Notes) shall be the valid obligations of the Master Issuer, 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 2.08 notwithstanding, (i) the Master Issuer or the Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange (or registration or de-registration) any Note for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days preceding the selection of any Note 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 2.05(a) or as otherwise set forth in a Series Supplement with respect to Uncertificated Notes.

(a) Senior Notes Interest Payment Account.
(i) On each Quarterly Calculation Date, the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw on the related Quarterly Payment Date, after giving effect to any allocations set forth in the Priority of Payments on such date, 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 cover any Class A-1 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 Holders of the Senior Notes, 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.
(ii) If the amount of funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account referred to in subclause (i) with respect to the immediately preceding Quarterly Collection Period is insufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, then a Quarterly Reallocation Event 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 a result of the Quarterly Reallocation Event, the Master Issuer 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 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 the Class A-1 Quarterly Commitment Fee Amount insufficiency, such amounts shall be allocated ratably based on the respective insufficiencies toward which such amounts are required to be allocated.
50

(iii) If the result 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 Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount”), then in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day preceding such Quarterly Payment Date, the Servicer shall make a Debt Service Advance in such amount unless the Servicer notifies the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Trustee by such time that (i) it has, reasonably and in good faith, determined such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect. If the Servicer fails to make such Debt Service Advance (unless the(i) prior to the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, the Servicer has, reasonably and in good faith, determined that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, the Servicer has, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determined that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect), pursuant to Section 10.01(k), the Trustee shall make the Debt Service Advance unless it determines that (i) such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, an Advance Suspension Period is in effect. 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 Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date remains greater than zero, then the payment of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount as reduced by such Senior Notes Quarterly 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 Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount. An additional amount of interest may accrue on the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount for each subsequent Interest Accrual Period until the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount is paid in full, as set forth in the Series Supplement for such Series.

Interest Reserve Letters of Credit. The Master Issuer 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 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Trustee and the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, each in a face amount equal to the amounts required to be funded in respect of such account(s) had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued. Where on any Quarterly Calculation Date the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) instructs 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 following 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.
Each such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (a) shall name each of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, and the Control Party as the beneficiary thereof; (b) shall allow the Trustee (or the Control Party on the Trustee’s 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 5.13; (c) shall have an expiration date of no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date specified in the related Variable Funding 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 or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.
If, on the date that is five (5) 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 Master Issuer has 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 directed in writing by the Manager), as applicable, in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount on such date, as applicable, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued.
If, on any day an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is outstanding, such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit becomes an Ineligible Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, then (a) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such day, either (i) the Master Issuer shall fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, or (ii) the Trustee (at the direction of the Master Issuer) or the Control Party (on the Master Issuer’s behalf) shall submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter(s) of Credit and apply the proceeds of such drawing to fund such account, in either case in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter(s) of Credit had not been issued or (b) prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after such day, the Master Issuer shall 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.
65

In the event an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has been issued in satisfaction of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount, the Master Issuer 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 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 (which shall be 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 (after the allocation of all amounts on such Weekly Allocation Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments). The Control Party shall (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 simultaneously with, or promptly after, the receipt by the Control Party of the related replacement Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whether by way of escrow or otherwise, in each case to the extent that after the Control Party’s receipt thereof no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency 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).
The (i) Trustee (at the direction of the Master Issuer) shall or (ii) the Control Party (at the Master Issuer’s request and on the Master Issuer’s behalf) may submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Provider and the proceeds of any such draw shall be deposited into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.
Upon the occurrence of any Interest Reserve Release Event, the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing to either (i) replace any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, and the Trustee or the Control Party on its behalf shall deliver to the Master Issuer any such replaced Interest Reserve Letter of Credit simultaneously with the receipt of any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit in replacement thereof, whether by way of escrow or otherwise, or (ii) reduce the face amount of any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit in accordance with the relevant terms thereof, and the Trustee or the Control Party on its behalf shall deliver to the relevant issuing bank a letter instructing the issuing bank to reduce the face amount of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, in each case, to the extent that no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount, as applicable, will be outstanding on the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date, as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) delivered to the Trustee, the Control Party and the applicable issuing bank in connection with such written instructions of the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf).
Replacement of Ineligible Accounts. If, at any time, any Management Account or any of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Cash Trap Reserve Account, the Collection Account or any Collection Account Administrative Account shall cease to be an Eligible Account (each, an “Ineligible Account”), the Master Issuer shall (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 Management 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. In the event that any of the Collection Account, any Management Account or any Collection Account Administrative Account becomes an Ineligible Account, the Manager shall, promptly following the establishment of such related new Eligible Account, notify each Franchisee of a change in payment instructions, if any.
66

Any instructions or directions to be provided by the Master Issuer referenced in this Article V may be given by the Manager on behalf of the Master Issuer and (a) with respect to a Quarterly Calculation Date or Quarterly Payment Date, respectively, shall be contained in the applicable Quarterly Noteholders’ Report for such Quarterly Payment Date and (b) with respect to a Weekly Allocation Date shall be contained in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate for such Weekly Allocation Date.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Master Issuer hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders, as follows as of the date hereof and as of each Series Closing Date:
Existence and Power. Each Securitization Entity (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under the Related Documents make such qualification necessary, and (c) has all limited liability company, corporate or other powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required (i) to carry on its business as now conducted and (ii) for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and the other Related Documents except, in the case of clauses (b) and (c)(i), to the extent the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Company and Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Master Issuer of this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement and by the Master Issuer and each other Securitization Entity of the other Related Documents to which it is a party (a) is within such Securitization Entity’s limited liability company, corporate or other powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company, corporate or other action, (b) requires no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority which has not been obtained (other than any actions or filings that may be undertaken after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Base Indenture or any other Related Document, including actions or filings with respect to the Mortgages) and (c) does not contravene, or constitute a default under, any Requirements of Law with respect to such Securitization Entity or any Contractual Obligation with respect to such Securitization Entity or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Securitization Entity (other than Permitted Liens), except for Liens created by this Base Indenture or the other Related Documents, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, solely with respect to the Contribution Agreements, the violation of which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. This Base Indenture and each of the other Related Documents to which each Securitization Entity is a party has been executed and delivered by a duly Authorized Officer of such Securitization Entity.
No Consent. No consent, action by or in respect of, approval or other authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the valid execution and delivery by the Master Issuer of this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement and by the Master Issuer and each other Securitization Entity of any Related Document to which it is a party or for the performance of any of the Securitization Entities’ obligations hereunder or thereunder other than such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings (a) as shall have been obtained or made by such Securitization Entity prior to the Closing Date as are permitted to be obtained subsequent to the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.13, Section 8.25 or Section 8.37 or (b) relating to the performance of any Collateral Business Documents, the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
68

Binding Effect. This Base Indenture and each other Related Document to which a Securitization Entity is a party is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Securitization Entity enforceable against such Securitization Entity in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing).
Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against or, to the knowledge of the Master Issuer, threatened against or affecting any Securitization Entity or of which any property or assets of such Securitization Entity is the subject before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority that (a) would affect the validity or enforceability of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement or (b) either individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
ERISA. During the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Pension Plan, no ERISA Event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. . No Securitization Entity has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement welfare benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability (i) for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or other applicable continuation of coverage laws or (ii) that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan for which any Securitization Entity has any liability (excluding a Multiemployer Plan) presently complies and has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, except for such instances of noncompliance as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, other than transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption or such transactions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each such Employee Benefit Plan for which any Securitization Entity has any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a current favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS regarding such qualification (or an application for such a letter is currently pending) and nothing has occurred, to the knowledge of the Master Issuer, whether by action or by failure to act, that would cause the loss of such qualification.
Tax Filings and Expenses. Each Securitization Entity has filed, or caused to be filed, all federal, state, local and foreign Tax returns required to be filed by such Securitization Entity, subject to permitted extensions (except in any case in which the failure to so file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect), and has paid, or caused to be paid, all Taxes due pursuant to said returns, except such Taxes (i) as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or (ii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, the Master Issuer is not aware of any material Tax assessments proposed in writing against any Non-Securitization Entity. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Tax deficiency has been determined adversely to any Securitization Entity, nor does any Securitization Entity have any knowledge of any Tax deficiencies. Each Securitization Entity has paid all fees and expenses required to be paid by it in connection with the conduct of its business, the maintenance of its existence and its qualification as a foreign entity authorized to do business in each state and each foreign country in which it is required to so qualify, except to the extent that the failure to pay such fees and expenses is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
69

Disclosure. No written report, financial statements, certificate or other information furnished in writing (other than projections, budgets, other estimates and general market, industry and economic data) to the Trustee or the Holders by or on behalf of the Securitization Entities pursuant to any provision of the Indenture or any other Related Document, or in connection with or pursuant to any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Indenture or any other Related Document (when taken together with all other information furnished by or on behalf of the Non-Securitization Entities to the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be), contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not materially misleading in each case when taken as a whole and in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the furnishing of the same to the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Master Issuer made on the date the same are furnished to the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, to the effect specified herein.
1940 Act. The Master Issuer is not, and no Securitization Entity is an “investment company” as defined in Section 3(a)(1) of the 1940 Act.
Regulations T, U and X. The proceeds of the Notes will not be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined or used in the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including Regulations T, U and X thereof) in such a way that could cause the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents to fail to comply with the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including Regulations T, U and X thereof. No Securitization Entity owns or is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.
Solvency.

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.

Tax Lien Reserve Amount. If the Holding Company Guarantor notifies the Master Issuer that it has received any Tax Lien Reserve Amount, the Master Issuer shall direct the Holding Company Guarantor to remit such amount to the Master Issuer to be held in a collateral deposit account established with and controlled by the Trustee, in which the Trustee shall have a security interest; provided that the Trustee will not release such Tax Lien Reserve Amount from such account unless: (a) the Servicer instructs the Trustee in writing to withdraw and pay all of such Tax Lien Reserve Amount in accordance with the written instructions of the Master Issuer which may include returning such amounts to the Holding Company Guarantor for refund to the Manager or an Affiliate thereof upon receipt by the Trustee, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Representative of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Lien for which such Tax Lien Reserve Amount was established has been released by the IRS; (b) the Master Issuer, or the Manager on behalf of the Master Issuer, delivers written instructions to the Trustee to withdraw and pay all or a portion of such Tax Lien Reserve Amount to the IRS on behalf of the Securitization Entities; provided that the Master Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, prior written notice of any such written instruction to the Servicer; or (c) the Control Party instructs the Trustee in writing to withdraw and pay all or a portion of such Tax Lien Reserve Amount to the IRS (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (ii) upon receipt of written notice from any Securitization Entity stating that the IRS intends to execute on the Lien for which such Tax Lien Reserve Amount was established in respect of any assets of any Securitization Entity; provided that the Control Party shall deliver a copy of any such written instruction to the Manager.

Mortgages. Upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Preparation Event, the Master Issuer shall cause the preparation of fully executed Mortgages for recordation against the Securitized Owned Real Property; provided that the Control Party shall have the right to waive, delay or modify such requirement to prepare fully executed Mortgages without the consent of any other party. Within ninety (90) days of such Mortgage Preparation Event, the Master Issuer shall deliver such Mortgages to the Trustee, to be held for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the event a Mortgage Recordation Event occurs (subject to Section 3.01(c)). Upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Recordation Event, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Control Party, deliver the Mortgages within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the properly executed Mortgages to the applicable recording office for recordation (unless such recordation requirement is waived by the Control Party, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative); provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation to record a Mortgage until the later of (i) twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of a properly executed Mortgage to the Trustee and (ii) the Trustee’s Actual Knowledge of a Rapid Amortization Event.

The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Master Issuer for any and all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such Mortgage Recordation Event, including all Mortgage Recordation Fees pursuant to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, JIB Properties shall not be required to, and the Trustee may not, record or cause to be recorded any Mortgage until the occurrence of a Mortgage Recordation Event that has not been waived by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative). 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. Neither the Trustee nor any agent on its behalf shall in any way be liable in the absence of any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part for any delays in the recordation of any Mortgage, for the rejection of a Mortgage by any recording office or for the failure of any Mortgage to create in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first priority Liens on (subject to Permitted Liens), and security interests in, JIB Properties’ right, title and interest in and to each Securitized Owned Real Property and the Proceeds thereof. Upon the request of JIB Properties, and at the direction of the Manager, the Trustee shall execute and deliver a release of mortgage to be held in escrow pending a closing of a sale of any Securitized Owned Real Property; provided that if such closing shall not occur, such release of mortgage shall be returned by the escrow agent directly to the Trustee.
Required Balance. For each Weekly Collection Period, the Master Issuer will specify to the Trustee the Weekly Allocation Percentage. If less than the Required Balance is on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account, the Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account and/or the Senior Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account (as applicable) for any Weekly Collection Period within a Quarterly Fiscal Period, the Master Issuer shall direct any Residual Amount on the following Weekly Allocation Date (and each subsequent Weekly Allocation Date as necessary) to be deposited to such Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, Senior Notes Principal Payment Account, Senior Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account, Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account and/or Senior Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account, in that order, until at least the Required Balance for such Weekly Collection Period is on deposit in in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account, the Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account and/or the Senior Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account (as applicable).
91

Modification of Contributed Assets. After the Closing Date and on a quarterly basis, if there are any additions or modifications to the Contributed Assets (excluding any lease for which a Securitization Entity becomes the legal assignee and named lessee under such lease) that constitute accounts, chattel paper, instruments or general intangibles under the Delaware UCC, the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall deliver and shall cause each applicable Securitization Entity to deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate with a revised list of the applicable Contributed Assets.

Limited Recourse.

Following the proceeds of such assets 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 9.05, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Indenture.
Optional Preservation of the Securitized Assets.

Waiver of Past Events. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of each Series of Notes Outstanding as provided in Section 9.02 and subject to Section 13.02, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Servicer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager), may waive any existing Default or Event of Default described in any clause of Section 9.02 (except clause (d) thereof) and its consequences; provided, however, that before any waiver may be effective, the Trustee and the Servicer must have received any reimbursement then due or payable in respect of unreimbursed Advances (including interest thereon) or any other amounts then due to the Servicer or the Trustee hereunder or under the Related Documents; provided, further, that the Control Party shall provide written notice of any such waiver to each Rating Agency for each Series of Notes Outstanding (with a copy to the Servicer and the Back-Up Manager). 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 9.02(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 13.02, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency for each Series of Notes Outstanding and the Servicer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager), may waive any existing Potential Rapid Amortization Event or any existing Rapid Amortization Event; provided however, that a Rapid Amortization Event described in Section 9.01(b) relating to a particular Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall not be permitted to be waived by any party unless 100% of the Noteholders have consented to such waiver in writing.]
100

Control by the Control Party. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Control Party (subject to Section 11.04(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of the Collateral (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Securitized Assets) or conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of Liens on the Collateral and other rights and remedies against the other Securitized Assets (to the extent permitted by applicable law) or conducting any proceeding for any contractual or legal remedy available to the Trustee or exercise any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:
(a) such direction of time, method and place shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, the Servicing Standard or the Indenture;
(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 in writing (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative)); and
(c) such direction shall be in writing;
provided further that, subject to Section 10.01, 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. The Trustee shall take no action referred to in this Section 9.08 unless instructed to do so by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative).
Limitation on Suits. Any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or any other Related Document only if:
(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount make a written request to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative to pursue the remedy;

(e) during such sixty (60) day period, the Majority of Senior Noteholders do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request; and
(f) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) has consented to the pursuit of such remedy.
A Holder may not use the Indenture or any other Related Document to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
Unconditional Rights of Holders 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 Series Legal Final Maturity Date 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.
101

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 Holders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Master 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 Holder 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 Holders 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 10.05. 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 10.05 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 Holders 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 Holder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Holder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding.
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 (or by the Control Party for any contractual or legal remedy available to the Trustee), a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 9.09 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, any Holder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Related Document and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the Trustee and the Holders and any such other Secured Party 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 Holders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 Related 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 Related Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
102

Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any Holder 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 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 or any other Secured Party, as the case may be.
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Master 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 Related Document; and the Master 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.
Article X
THE TRUSTEE
Duties of the Trustee.

The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct except as provided in Section 10.01(c). The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Issuer under the Indenture.
103

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event of which a Trust Officer shall have Actual Knowledge:
(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture or any other Related 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 Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture or any other Related 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 Related Document; provided, however, 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.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, bad faith or willful misconduct, except that:
(i) This clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 10.01.
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proven that the Trustee was grossly negligent, acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith at the direction of the Manager, the Master Issuer, the Control Party and/or a Holder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture or applicable law.
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Mortgage Preparation Event, Mortgage Recordation Event, Default, Event of Default, Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event, Potential Manager Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event or the commencement and continuation of a Cash Trapping Period 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.
104

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or any of the other Related Documents, no provision of the Indenture or the other Related Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or exercises of its rights or powers hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured 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 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 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 10.03, 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 Related Documents.
(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture and the other Related Documents relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.01.
(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Securitized Assets or 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, for the validity or sufficiency of the Securitized Assets or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Securitization Entities to the Securitized Assets, for insuring the Securitized Assets or for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Securitized Assets or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Securitized Assets. 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 Related Documents by the Securitization Entities.
(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 Notes, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture, any other circumstances in which direction is required or permitted by the terms of the Indenture or applicable law.
105

(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 redepositing of any thereof (other than with respect to filings of the Mortgages as and to the extent provided in Section 3.01(c)); (ii) to see to any insurance, (iii) except as otherwise provided by Section 10.01(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 Related 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.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall make Debt Service Advances to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 5.13(a)(iii) hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, the Trustee will not be responsible for advancing any principal on the Senior Notes, any make-whole prepayment premiums, any Series Hedge Payment Amounts, any Class A-1 Notes Administrative Expenses, any Class A-1 Quarterly Commitment Fee Amounts, any Post-ARD Contingent Interest or any reserve amounts or any interest or principal payable on, or any other amount due with respect to, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Notes. The Trustee will 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. The Trustee may update or change its nonrecoverability determination at any time, and may decide that a Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously deemed to be a Nonrecoverable Advance will have become recoverable or that a Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously made will have become nonrecoverable.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debt Service Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Trustee if either (i) the Trustee determines such Debt Service Advance (including interest thereon) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 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. In no event shall the Trustee be required to make a Collateral Protection Advance, including a Requested Collateral Protection Advance, unless (i) the Servicer has determined that such Collateral Protection Advance has been approved, (ii) the Servicer has subsequently failed to make such Collateral Protection Advance, (iii) the Trustee has determined that such Collateral Protection Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with this Indenture and (iv) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, an Advance Suspension Period is in effect. The Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, but may also make its own determination in its reasonable good faith in accordance with this Indenture. Any such determination will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. 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 or that a Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously made will have become nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding Debt Service Advances and Collateral Protection Advances made by the Trustee and any accrued interest thereon will 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.
106

(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 10.01(k) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (which will be compounded monthly) and shall be payable out of Collections in accordance with the Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof and the other applicable provisions of the Related Documents.

107

(f) 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.

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

(p) 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 10.05 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Master Issuer shall promptly, with the prior written consent of the Control Party, appoint a successor Trustee. Within one (1) 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 Master Issuer.
(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 Master Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(d) If the Trustee after written request by the Servicer or any Noteholder fails to comply with Section 10.08, the Servicer or such Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to the Servicer and the Master Issuer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager). 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 Related 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, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.06, the Master Issuer’s obligations under Section 10.05 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
(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.
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Subject to Section 10.08, 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 Master Issuer, 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 10.08.

112

(b) At any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section 10.08(a), the Trustee shall resign after written request that it do so by the Master Issuer, or by the Control Party at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.06.
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Document, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Securitized Assets may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power upon notice to the Control Party, the Master Issuer 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, of all or any part of the Securitized Assets, 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 other rights in and to the Securitized Assets), or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.09, 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 10.08 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 10.06. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Servicer and the Master Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.
(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 (other than Uncertificated Notes) 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 other rights in and to the Securitized Assets) 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
113

(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 Related Documents to which the Trustee is a party, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement, or any other Related 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 Master Issuer.
(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 Related 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.

Controlling Class Representative.
(a) On the Closing Date and at any time when no Person is serving as the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with this Article XI, (i) the Control Party shall exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Control Party shall have no obligations to interact with any Holders (including providing any notices or deliverables) and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Related Document shall be delivered to the Control Party.
(b) Within thirty five (30 5) days Business Days after the Closing Date or any other CCR Re-election Event, the Trustee shall send via email to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and via the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency with respect to the Controlling Class Members holding Book-Entry Notes a written notice (with copies to the Manager and the Master Issuer) in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, announcing an election and soliciting nominations for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election Notice”). Each Controlling Class Member will be allowed to nominate itself as a CCR Candidate (and will not be permitted to nominate any other Person or entity as a CCR Candidate) by submitting a nomination to the Trustee in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (a “CCR Nomination”) certifying that, as of a date not more than ten five (10 5) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Election Notice, such Controlling Class Member was the Holder of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination and that it is not a Competitor; provided that for purposes of such nomination and determining the CCR Candidates pursuant to Section 11.01(c), 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. For any nomination to be valid, the CCR Nomination shall be delivered to the Trustee within thirty five (30 5) calendar days Business Days of the date of the CCR Election Notice (such period, the “CCR Nomination Period”).
(c) Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Trustee, within three (3) Business Days following the end of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no nomination has been received and there is no Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Members that no nominations have been received and that no 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 G 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 will 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, then the Person serving as the current Controlling Class Representative will be deemed reelected and will remain the Controlling Class Representative. Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for Controlling Class Representative by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Trustee certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), such Controlling Class Member was 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; provided that for the purposes of such certification and the tabulation of votes pursuant to Section 11.01(d), 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. For any vote delivered on a CCR Ballot to be valid, such CCR Ballot must be delivered to the Trustee within thirty five (30 5) calendar days Business Days of the date of such CCR Ballot (such period a “CCR Election Period”).
115

(d) If a CCR Candidate receives votes from Controlling Class Members holding interests in excess of 50% of the sum of (i) the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount with respect to each Series of Class A-1 Notes of the Controlling Class and (ii) the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Series of Notes of the Controlling Class (other than Class A-1 Notes), in each case, that are Outstanding as of the CCR Voting Record Date and with respect to which votes were submitted (which may be less than the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class as of the CCR Voting Record Date), such CCR Candidate shall be appointed the Controlling Class Representative. Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Master Issuer or any Affiliate of the Master Issuer will not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates both receive votes from Controlling Class Members holding beneficial interests in exactly 50% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class with respect to which votes were submitted, the Controlling Class Representative shall be the CCR Candidate chosen by the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement). In the event that there is no current Controlling Class Representative and no CCR Candidate receives 50% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class with respect to which votes were submitted, the Trustee will notify the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed, and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a new Controlling Class Representative is elected then (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 Related Document shall be delivered to the Control Party.
(e) In the event that a Controlling Class Representative is elected, deemed elected or chosen pursuant to Section 11.01(d) or Section 11.01(j), the Trustee shall forward an acceptance letter in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (a “CCR Acceptance Letter”) to such Controlling Class Representative. No Person shall be appointed Controlling Class Representative unless such Person delivers to the Trustee an executed CCR Acceptance Letter within fifteen five (15 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, (iii) represent and warrant that it is a Controlling Class Member and not a Competitor and (iv) in the event that such Person subsequently ceases to be a Controlling Class Member, covenant to provide written notice thereof to the Trustee within one (1) Business Day of ceasing to be a Controlling Class Member. Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the executed CCR Acceptance Letter, the Trustee shall 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.
116

(f) 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 deliver to the Noteholder via the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency, the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer a notice setting forth the name and address of the new Controlling Class Representative.
(g) 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 the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency for delivery of the CCR Election 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.
(h) The Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and 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 the other Related Documents 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.
(i) 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.
(j) If no Controlling Class Representative has been elected, deemed elected or chosen pursuant to Section 11.01(d) or this Section 11.01(j), and a Rapid Amortization Event, a Potential Rapid Amortization Event, a Manager Termination Event, a Potential Manager Termination Event, an Event of Default and/or a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may be appointed by a Majority of Controlling Class Members without complying with the requirements set forth in clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 11.01 by delivery of an ad hoc ballot to the Trustee and the Control Party, which shall be in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto.
117

The Controlling Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer and to each Noteholder of the Controlling Class (with a copy of such resignation provided to the Back-Up Manager). The Controlling Class Representative will resign immediately if such Controlling Class Representative no longer holds any Notes of the Controlling Class. 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 Servicer and such existing Controlling Class Representative (with a copy of such resignation provided to the Back-Up Manager). No resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative shall be effective until a successor Controlling Class Representative has been appointed pursuant to Section 11.01 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 11.02 may subsequently be nominated as a CCR Candidate pursuant to Section 11.01 (provided that such Controlling Class Representative candidate satisfies the requirements of this Base Indenture) and appointed as Controlling Class Representative; 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 pursuant to Section 11.01, unless such Controlling Class Representative is elected during such CCR Election Period (except that, in the event of a CCR Re-election Event or, prior to the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, upon the occurrence of an Annual Election Date, if no CCR Nominations are received prior to the end of the CCR Nomination Period, the current Controlling Class Representative will remain the Controlling Class Representative and no further action will be taken with respect to such CCR Re-election Event or, prior to the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, Annual Election Date). 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 Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the parties to this Base Indenture of such event. After the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, there will be no Annual Election Date.

(a) The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the Indenture or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct committed with respect to its obligations or duties under the Indenture.

118

(b) Any and all expenses of the Controlling Class Representative for acting in its capacity as Controlling Class Representative shall constitute Securitization Operating Expenses and shall be paid to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with clauses (v) and (xvi) of the Priority of Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Controlling Class Representative and the Servicer or the Trustee are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative had acted in good faith, without gross negligence or willful misconduct, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and there is no potential for the Servicer or the Trustee to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Controlling Class Representative, 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 any such claim against the Controlling Class Representative.
Control Party. (a) Pursuant to the Indenture and the other Related Documents, the Control Party is authorized to consent to and implement, subject to the Servicing Standard, Consent Requests that do not require the consent of any Noteholder or the Controlling Class Representative.
(b) For any Consent Request that requires, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or any other Related Document, the consent or direction of the Controlling Class Representative, or the consent of the affected Noteholders or 100% of the Noteholders, the Control Party and the Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 2.4 of the Servicing Agreement.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Control Party shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer 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 Trustee shall promptly notify the Control Party, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer and the Controlling Class Representative if the Trustee has not received the requisite consent of the required percentage of Noteholders to implement a Consent Request.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Controlling Class Representative may (i) require or cause the Trustee or the Servicer (including in its role as Control Party) to violate applicable law, the terms of this Indenture, the Notes, the Servicing Agreement or the other Related Documents, including, without limitation with respect to the Control Party or the Servicer, the Control Party’s or the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (ii) expose the Control Party, the Servicer or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents or partners, to any material claim, suit or liability, or (iii) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or the Control Party’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement or any other Related Document or the Trustee’s responsibilities under this Indenture, the Notes and the other Related Documents. The Trustee and the Control Party will not be required to follow any such advice, direction, or objection. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Related Documents to the contrary, the Controlling Class Representative shall not be able to prevent the Control Party from transferring the ownership of all or any portion of the Securitized Assets (including by way of foreclosure on the Equity Interests of the Master Issuer) if any Advance by the Servicer has been outstanding for twelve (12) months (or longer) and the Control Party determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such transfer of ownership would be in the best interests of the Noteholders (taken as a whole).
119

Note Owner List. (a) To facilitate communication among Note Owners, the Manager, the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative, a Note Owner may elect, but is not required, to notify the Trustee of its name, address and other contact information, which will be kept in a register maintained by the Trustee. The Trustee will be required to furnish the Manager, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative upon request with the information maintained in such register as of the most recent date of determination. Every Note Owner, by receiving and holding a beneficial interest in a Note, will agree that none of the Trustee, the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative nor any of their respective agents will be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Note Owners in the register maintained by the Trustee Note Register.

129

Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, 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 Holder. The Master Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Holders must consent to such amendment or waiver.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Master Issuer, 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.
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.

Amendments and Fees. The Master Issuer, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative shall negotiate any amendments, waivers or modifications to the Indenture or the other Related 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.

(c) 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 (5) 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.

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.

(h) The Trustee (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Base Indenture or any documents executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions (including the email addresses of such persons), which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Trustee email (of .pdf or similar files) (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(d) a statement as to whether or not such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Rules by the Trustee. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders.
Benefits of Indenture. Except as set forth in a Series Supplement, nothing in this Base Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders and the other Secured Parties, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Indenture.
Payment on Business Day.

All agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture shall bind its successors.
Severability. In case any provision in the Indenture, the Notes or any other Related 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.
Counterpart Originals. This Base Indenture may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement.
Table of Contents, Headings, etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of the Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

In the event that any such Holder 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 Holder or Secured Party or the Trustee against such Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Holder 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 Holder or any other Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity.
Recording of Indenture. If the Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Master Issuer and at its expense.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE MASTER ISSUER 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 RELATED DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.
Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Master Issuer 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 Related 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 Master Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 14.01 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.
141

Permitted Asset Dispositions; Release of Collateral. Upon consummation of a Permitted Asset Disposition, all Liens with respect to the disposed property created in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Base Indenture and the other Related Documents shall be automatically released, and upon request of the Master Issuer, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Control Party, shall execute and deliver to the Master Issuer any and all documentation reasonably requested and prepared by the Master Issuer at the Master Issuer’s expense to effect or evidence the release by the Trustee of the Secured Parties’ security interest in the property disposed of in connection with such Permitted Asset Disposition.
Calculation of Holdco Leverage Ratio and Senior ABS Leverage Ratio.
(a) Holdco Leverage Ratio. For purposes of making the computation of the Holdco Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA used therein), investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any restructurings or reorganizations, that any of the Non-Securitization Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods and on or prior to or simultaneously with the date as of which such computation is made (each, for purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.18, a “pro forma event”) shall, at the discretion of the Manager, 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 Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Non-Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Collection 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 been subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18, then the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, consolidation, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods.
(b) Senior ABS Leverage Ratio. For purposes of making the computation of the Senior ABS Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation the calculation of Net Cash Flow used therein), any pro forma event shall, at the discretion of the Manager, 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 Collection Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Collection 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 been subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18, then the Senior ABS Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect for any related 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 Collection Periods.
142

(c) Calculations to be Made in Good Faith. For purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.18, 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 “Adjusted EBITDA” or “Net Cash Flow” as set forth in the definition thereof, to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods.
(d) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP (including a conversion of Jack in the Box Inc.’s financial reporting to IFRS) would affect the computation of any covenant, incurrence test or other restriction affecting any Securitization Entity or Non-Securitization Entity that is set forth in this Base Indenture or any Related Document (including the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA), and the Manager shall so request, the Control Party and the Manager shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions of the Related Documents related to such covenant, incurrence test or other restriction to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, such covenant, incurrence test or other restriction shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or the application thereof prior to such change therein. If the Manager notifies the Control Party that Jack in the Box Inc. is required to report under IFRS or has elected to do so through an early adoption policy, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting standards pursuant to IFRS (provided that after such conversion, Jack in the Box Inc. cannot elect to report under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles).
Instructions and Directions on Behalf of the Master Issuer. Instructions, directions, notices or reports to be provided by the Master Issuer or any other Securitization Entity hereunder, may be provided by the Manager on behalf of the Master Issuer or such other Securitization Entity.
143

Electronic Signatures and Transmission. For purposes of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any Supplement thereto, any reference to “written” or “in writing” means any form of written communication, including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication that 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 (except to the extent such action results from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Trustee). Any requirement in this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or Supplement that a document, including any Note, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture, Series Supplement or Supplement, 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 will be encrypted. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission will be required to complete a one-time registration process.
