COLT 2005-SN1 INDENTURE, dated as of April 28, 2005 (this "COLT
Indenture"), between CENTRAL ORIGINATING LEASE TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust
("COLT"), and CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association, as indenture
trustee (as COLT Indenture Trustee and not in its individual capacity, the "COLT
Indenture Trustee").
Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties
and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes:
GRANTING CLAUSE
COLT hereby Grants to the COLT Indenture Trustee, for the equal and
ratable benefit of each Holder of a COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note, a security
interest in, and its transfer, assignment and conveyance of, without recourse,
the following:
(i) all right, title and interest of COLT in, to and under the
Series 2005-SN1 Leases listed on the Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets Schedule
attached as Schedule A to the COLT Sale and Contribution Agreement and all
beneficial interest in the Vehicles related to the Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets
under the VAULT Trust Agreement, and all monies due thereunder on and after the
Cutoff Date and with respect to the Vehicles, to the extent permitted by law,
all accessions thereto;
(ii) the interest of COLT in any proceeds from claims on any
physical damage, credit life, credit disability or other insurance policies
covering the related Vehicles or Lessees;
(iii) the interest of COLT in any proceeds from recourse against
Dealers on the Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets;
(iv) all right, title and interest of COLT in, to and under the
COLT 2005-SN1 Lease Assets Assignment;
(v) all right, title and interest of COLT in, to and under the
VAULT Trust Agreement (solely with respect to the Vehicles related to Series
2005-SN1 Lease Assets);
(vi) all right, title and interest of COLT in, to and under the
COLT Servicing Agreement and any other COLT 2005-SN1 Basic Document;
(vii) all right, title and interest of COLT in, to and under the
funds on deposit from time to time in the Designated Accounts, including all
Designated Account Property; and
(viii) the present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in
action in respect of any or all the foregoing and all payments on or under and
all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all the
foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion of any or all of the
foregoing, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all
cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances,
chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, investment
property, payment intangibles, general intangibles, condemnation awards, rights
to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables,
instruments and other property which at any time constitute
1
all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing
(collectively, and together with the Direct COLT Pledge, the "COLT 2005-SN1
Collateral").
In addition, to the extent that, notwithstanding the terms of the
VAULT Trust Agreement and the Statutory Trust Act, COLT is deemed to hold a
direct ownership interest in the legal title to any Vehicle related to the
Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets (and not merely a beneficial interest in VAULT
representing an interest in the legal title to such Vehicle), COLT hereby
grants, equally and ratably, to each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder a security
interest in all of COLT's rights in such Vehicle, to secure its obligations
under the COLT Indenture (the assets pledged under such security interest, the
"Direct COLT Pledge"). The Direct COLT Pledge shall constitute part of the COLT
2005-SN1 Collateral for all purposes hereunder, and each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder, by its acceptance thereof, hereby appoints the COLT Indenture
Trustee as its agent to act with respect to the Direct COLT Pledge as it is
required to act with respect to the remainder of the COLT 2005-SN1 Collateral in
accordance with this COLT Indenture.
The foregoing Grant has been made and will continue to be made in
trust to secure the payment of principal of and interest on, and any other
amounts owing in respect of, the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, equally and
ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction among the Holders of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes and to secure compliance with the provisions of this COLT
Indenture, all as provided in this COLT Indenture. This COLT Indenture
constitutes a security agreement under the UCC.
The foregoing Grant includes all rights, powers and options (but
none of the obligations, if any) of COLT under any agreement or instrument
included in the COLT 2005-SN1 Collateral, including the immediate and continuing
right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest
payments in respect of the Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets included in the COLT
2005-SN1 Collateral and all other monies payable under the COLT 2005-SN1
Collateral, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make
waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights and options, to bring
Proceedings in the name of COLT or otherwise and generally to do and receive
anything that COLT is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect
to the COLT 2005-SN1 Collateral.
Furthermore, on the Series 2005-SN1 Closing Date, VAULT shall grant
a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder, to the extent set forth in the VAULT Security Agreement. The Pledged
Collateral shall constitute part of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate for all
purposes hereunder, and each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, by its acceptance
thereof, hereby appoints the COLT Indenture Trustee as its agent to act with
respect to the Pledged Collateral as it is required to act with respect to the
remainder of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate in accordance with this COLT
Indenture.
The Holders of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes shall enjoy solely
the security of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate and shall have no recourse to the
assets included in the Series Portfolio securing any other Series of Secured
Notes or any other assets of COLT.
2
The COLT Indenture Trustee, as indenture trustee on behalf of each
Holder of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, acknowledges such Grant and accepts
the trusts under this COLT Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this
COLT Indenture.

unless there appears on such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A executed by the
COLT Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized
Officers, and such certificate upon any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note shall be

has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.3 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes.
(a) COLT shall cause to be kept the Secured Note Register,

which, subject to such reasonable regulations as COLT may prescribe, COLT shall
provide for the registration of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes and the
registration of transfers and exchanges of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes. The
COLT Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Secured Note Registrar for the
purpose of registering the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes and transfers or
exchanges of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Secured Note Registrar, COLT shall promptly appoint a
successor Secured Note Registrar or, if it elects not to make such an
appointment, assume the duties of the Secured Note Registrar.
(b) If a Person other than the COLT Indenture Trustee is appointed
by COLT as Secured Note Registrar, COLT will give the COLT Indenture Trustee
prompt written notice of the appointment of such Secured Note Registrar and of
the location, and any change in the location, of the Secured Note Register. The
COLT Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Secured Note Register
at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. The COLT Indenture Trustee
shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the
Secured Note Registrar by a Responsible Officer thereof as to the names and
addresses of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders and the Secured Note
Principal Balances and number of such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes.
(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the COLT Indenture
Trustee or Agency Office of COLT (and following the delivery, in the former
case, of such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to COLT by the COLT Indenture
Trustee), COLT shall execute, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder shall obtain from the COLT Indenture
Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new
5
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like Secured
Note Principal Balance.
(d) At the option of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes may be exchanged for other COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes in
any authorized denominations, of a like Secured Note Principal Balance, upon
surrender of such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate
Trust Office of the COLT Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of COLT (and
following the delivery of such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to COLT by the COLT
Indenture Trustee), COLT shall execute, and the COLT Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder shall obtain from the COLT
Indenture Trustee, such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes which the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(e) All COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of other COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes shall be the valid
obligations of COLT, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this COLT Indenture, as the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange.
(f) Every COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the COLT
Indenture Trustee and the Secured Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a
correspondent located, in the City of New York or the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office of the COLT Indenture Trustee is located, or by a member
firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the COLT
Indenture Trustee may require.
(g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, but COLT or
the COLT Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 9.6 not involving any transfer.
(h) By acquiring a COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note, each purchaser and
transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not
acquiring the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note with the plan assets of a Benefit Plan
or (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section
406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
(i) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.3 notwithstanding,
COLT shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Secured Note
Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, of (i) COLT 2005 SN1 Secured
Notes that have been selected for redemption pursuant to Article X, if
applicable; or (ii) COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes that are due for final payment
within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office.
6
SECTION 2.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes.
(a) If (i) any mutilated COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note is surrendered
to the COLT Indenture Trustee, or the COLT Indenture Trustee receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Note, and (ii) there is delivered to COLT and the COLT Indenture Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by each such Person to hold each
such Person harmless, then, in the absence of notice to COLT, the Secured Note
Registrar or the COLT Indenture Trustee that such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, COLT shall execute and upon COLT's
request the COLT Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen COLT 2005-SN1

would become an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d), its status and what
action COLT is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then
and in every such case, unless the principal amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the COLT Indenture
Trustee or the holders of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes representing not less than
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes may
declare all the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to be immediately due and payable,
by a notice in writing to COLT and to the COLT Indenture Trustee if given by the
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders setting forth the Event of Default or Events
of Default, and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.
(b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity
of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due thereunder has been obtained by the COLT Indenture
Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the holders of COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, by written notice to COLT and the COLT
Indenture Trustee, may waive all Defaults set forth in the notice delivered
pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences; provided, however, that no such rescission and annulment shall
extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto; and provided, further, that if the COLT Indenture Trustee or
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this COLT Indenture and such Proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason, or
such Proceedings shall have been determined adversely to the COLT Indenture
Trustee or the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, then and in every such case,
the COLT Indenture Trustee, COLT and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, as
the case may be, shall be
24
restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the COLT Indenture Trustee, COLT and the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no
such Proceedings had been commenced.
SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
COLT Indenture Trustee.
(a) COLT covenants that if an Event of Default occurs and such
Event of Default has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.12, then COLT shall,
upon demand of the COLT Indenture Trustee, pay to the COLT Indenture Trustee,
for the ratable benefit of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders in accordance
with their respective Secured Note Principal Balances, the entire amount then
due and payable on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes for principal and interest,
with interest upon the overdue principal and overdue interest at the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Note Rate and any CARAT Collection Account Shortfall Amount and
in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the COLT Indenture Trustee and its
agents and counsel.
(b) If COLT shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the COLT Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against COLT or other obligor upon the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the COLT
2005-SN1 Trust Estate, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the COLT
Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the COLT
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this COLT Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the COLT
Indenture Trustee by this COLT Indenture or by applicable law.
(d) If there shall be pending, relative to COLT or any other
obligor upon the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11
of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy
or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of COLT or its property or such obligor or
Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to COLT
or other obligor upon the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, or to the creditors or

Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and
26
compensation of the COLT Indenture Trustee, each predecessor COLT Indenture
Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders in accordance with the priorities set

Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders a party to any such Proceedings.
SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a),
the COLT Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to
Sections 5.3 and 5.5):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on
such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, under this COLT Indenture with respect
thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any
judgment obtained, and collect from the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate and any
other obligor upon such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete
or partial foreclosure of this COLT Indenture with respect to the COLT
2005-SN1 Collateral and of the VAULT Security Agreement with respect to
the Pledged Collateral;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
and remedies of the COLT Indenture Trustee and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders; and
(iv) sell the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate, or any portion
thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private
sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law or elect to have
COLT maintain possession of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate, including the
Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets included therein, and continue to apply
collections on such Series 2005-SN1 Lease Assets as if there had been no
declaration of acceleration; provided, however, that the COLT Indenture
Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate
following an Event of Default and acceleration of the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes, except as is set forth in Section 3.20, unless (i)(A) the
Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation distributable to the Holders of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the accrued
interest on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes as of the date of such sale or
liquidation or (C) (x) there has been an Event of Default under Section
5.1(a), (b) or (c) or otherwise arising from a failure to make a required
payment of principal on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, (y) the COLT
Indenture Trustee determines that the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate will not
27
continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes as and when they would have
become due if the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes had not been declared due
and payable and (z) the COLT Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the
Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes, and (ii) 10 days' prior written notice of sale or
liquidation has been given to the Rating Agencies. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the COLT
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation
as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate for such purpose.
(b) If the COLT Indenture Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the
following order:
FIRST: to the COLT Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
Section 6.7 and then to the COLT Owner Trustee for amounts due to the COLT
Owner Trustee (not including amounts due for payments to the Series
2005-SN1 Certificateholder) under Section 6.9 of the Declaration; and
SECOND: to the COLT Collection Account for distribution in the
following priority: (i) payment in full of the accrued and unpaid interest
on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes; (ii) payment in full of unpaid
principal balance of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes; (iii) to the CARAT
Collection Account towards payment in full of any CARAT Collection Account
Shortfall Amount and (iv) the remainder shall be distributed in accordance
with the instructions of the COLT 2005-SN1 Certificateholder.
SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Series 2005-SN1 Lease
Assets. If the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes have been declared to be due and
payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and
its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section
5.2(b), the COLT Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to take and maintain
possession of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties
hereto and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders that there be at all times
sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes, and the COLT Indenture Trustee shall take such desire
into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain
possession of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate, the COLT Indenture Trustee may,
but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such
proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate for
such purpose.
SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this COLT Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the COLT
Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
28
(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes have made written request to the COLT Indenture
Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its
own name as COLT Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the COLT Indenture
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in complying with such request;
(d) the COLT Indenture Trustee for 60 days after the earlier of
(x) its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and (y) any
similar notice, request and offer of indemnity to the CARAT Indenture Trustee
under Section 5.6 of the CARAT Indenture, has failed to institute such
Proceedings; and
(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the COLT Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of,
or by availing of, any provision of this COLT Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes or
to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes or to enforce any right under this COLT
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable (on
the basis of the respective aggregate amount of principal and interest,
respectively, due and unpaid on the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note held by such COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder) and common benefit of all Holders of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 5.6, each and every COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
If the COLT Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, each representing less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, the COLT Indenture
Trustee shall take the action requested by the group representing the higher
percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes.
SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this COLT Indenture, the Holder of any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note
shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of
the principal of and interest on such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note or in
this COLT Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.
SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the COLT
Indenture Trustee or any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder has instituted any
Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this COLT Indenture and such
Proceeding has been discontinued or
29
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the COLT Indenture
Trustee or to such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, then and in every such case
COLT, the COLT Indenture Trustee and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders
shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally to
their respective former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the COLT Indenture Trustee and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the COLT Indenture Trustee or to the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission, Not a Waiver. No delay or omission
of the COLT Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article V or by law to the COLT Indenture Trustee or to the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the COLT Indenture Trustee or by the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders, as the case may be.
SECTION 5.11 Control by the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders. The
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes shall, subject to provision being made for indemnification against costs,
expenses and liabilities in a form satisfactory to the COLT Indenture Trustee,
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding
for any remedy available to the COLT Indenture Trustee with respect to the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the COLT
Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that:
(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law
or with this COLT Indenture;
(b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to
the COLT Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate
shall be by the Holders of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes representing not less
than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes;
(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied
and the COLT Indenture Trustee elects to retain the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate
pursuant to Section 5.5, then any direction to the COLT Indenture Trustee by
Holders of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes representing less than 100% of the
Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to sell or liquidate the
COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and
30
(d) the COLT Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the COLT Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction;
provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the COLT Indenture Trustee need
not take any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability
with respect to which the COLT Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable grounds
to believe that adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to it
or might materially adversely affect the rights of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders not consenting to such action.
SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.
(a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity
of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except
a Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on
any of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note. In the case of any such waiver,
COLT, the COLT Indenture Trustee and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereto.
(b) Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall
cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred (and
any Event of Default arising from any such Default shall be deemed to have been
cured and not to have occurred) for every purpose of this COLT Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this COLT
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note by such
Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this COLT Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the COLT
Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as COLT
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section 5.13, shall not apply to:
(a) any Proceeding instituted by the COLT Indenture Trustee;
(b) any Proceeding instituted by any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder or group of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes; or
(c) any Proceeding instituted by any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note
31
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Note and in this COLT Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).
SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. COLT covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
COLT Indenture. COLT (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the COLT
Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 5.15 Action on COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes. The COLT
Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes or under this COLT Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking,
obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this COLT
Indenture. Neither the lien of this COLT Indenture in the COLT 2005-SN1
Collateral or the lien of the VAULT Security Agreement in the Pledged Collateral
nor any rights or remedies of the COLT Indenture Trustee or the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the
COLT Indenture Trustee against COLT or by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate or upon any of the
assets of COLT. Any money or property collected by the COLT Indenture Trustee
shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).
SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the COLT Indenture Trustee
to do so and at the Servicer's expense, COLT agrees to take all such lawful
action as the COLT Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the
performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer of their respective
obligations to COLT under or in connection with the COLT 2005-SN1 Basic
Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to COLT under or in
connection with the COLT 2005-SN1 Basic Documents to the extent and in the
manner directed by the COLT Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of
notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or
secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations
under the COLT 2005-SN1 Basic Documents.
(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
COLT Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes
shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of COLT
against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the COLT 2005-SN1
Basic Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel or
secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their
obligations to COLT thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver
32
under the COLT 2005-SN1 Basic Documents, and any right of COLT to take such
action shall be suspended.

be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the COLT Indenture
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.
SECTION 6.3 COLT Indenture Trustee May Own COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes. The COLT Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes and the Secured Notes
of any other Series and may otherwise deal with COLT, the Servicer or any of
their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
COLT Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the COLT Indenture Trustee shall
comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any Paying Agent, Secured Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
SECTION 6.4 COLT Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The COLT Indenture
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of any COLT 2005-SN1 Basic Document, including this COLT
Indenture or the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, it shall not be accountable for
COLT's use of the proceeds from the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, and it shall
not be responsible for any statement of COLT in the COLT Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes
or in the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes other than the COLT Indenture Trustee's
certificate of authentication.
SECTION 6.5 Notice of Default. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the COLT Indenture Trustee, the
COLT Indenture Trustee shall mail to each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder
notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a
Default in payment of principal or of interest on any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Note, the COLT Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders.
35
SECTION 6.6 Reports by COLT Indenture Trustee to the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholders. To the extent any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder does not
receive such information or documents directly, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall
deliver to each such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, as applicable, the
information and documents set forth in Article VII, and, in addition, all such
information with respect to the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes as may be required
to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.
SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.
(a) COLT shall cause the Servicer to pay to the COLT Indenture
Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as is set forth in
the COLT Servicing Agreement. The COLT Indenture Trustee's compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. COLT
shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the COLT Servicing Agreement to reimburse
the COLT Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or
made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for
its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the COLT Indenture Trustee's agents,
external counsel, accountants and experts. COLT shall cause the Servicer to
indemnify the COLT Indenture Trustee in accordance with the COLT Servicing
Agreement.
(b) COLT's obligations to the COLT Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.7(a) shall survive the discharge of this COLT Indenture. When the COLT
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in
Section 5.1(e) or (f), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
SECTION 6.8 Replacement of COLT Indenture Trustee.
(a) The COLT Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its
intent to resign by so notifying COLT and the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders;
provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective and the COLT
Indenture Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section
6.8(c). The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes may remove the COLT Indenture Trustee by so notifying the COLT
Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor COLT Indenture Trustee. Such
resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c).
COLT shall remove the COLT Indenture Trustee if:
(i) the COLT Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section
6.11;
(ii) the COLT Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
COLT Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the COLT Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.
36
(b) If the COLT Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to
resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of COLT Indenture
Trustee for any reason (the COLT Indenture Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring COLT Indenture Trustee), COLT shall promptly appoint
and designate a successor COLT Indenture Trustee.
(c) A successor COLT Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment and designation to the retiring COLT Indenture
Trustee and to COLT. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring COLT
Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor COLT Indenture
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the COLT Indenture
Trustee under this COLT Indenture. The successor COLT Indenture Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders. The
retiring COLT Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it
as COLT Indenture Trustee to the successor COLT Indenture Trustee.
(d) If a successor COLT Indenture Trustee does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring COLT Indenture Trustee gives notice of its
intent to resign or is removed, the retiring COLT Indenture Trustee, COLT or the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and
designation of a successor COLT Indenture Trustee.
(e) If the COLT Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11,
any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the COLT Indenture Trustee and the appointment
of a successor COLT Indenture Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the COLT Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.8, COLT's obligations under Section 6.7 and the
Servicer's corresponding obligations under the COLT Servicing Agreement shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring COLT Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of COLT Indenture Trustee.
(a) Any corporation into which the COLT Indenture Trustee may be
merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger or consolidation to which the COLT Indenture Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the COLT
Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the COLT Indenture Trustee under
this COLT Indenture; provided, however, that such corporation shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this COLT
Indenture.
(b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or
consolidation to the COLT Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created
by this COLT Indenture, any of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the COLT Indenture
Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee,
and deliver such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the COLT Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
37
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the COLT Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of
authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes or herein with respect to the certificate of
authentication of the COLT Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-COLT Indenture Trustee or Separate
COLT Indenture Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this COLT Indenture, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate may at the time be located,
the COLT Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the COLT Indenture Trustee, or separate indenture
trustees, of all or any part of the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, such title to the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate, or
any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the COLT Indenture Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. No co-indenture trustee or separate indenture
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders of the appointment of any co-indenture trustee or separate indenture
trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.
(b) Every separate indenture trustee and co-indenture trustee shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the COLT Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the COLT Indenture Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
indenture trustee or co-indenture trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the COLT Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the COLT Indenture Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the COLT
Indenture Trustee;
(ii) no co-indenture trustee or separate indenture trustee
hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
any other co-indenture trustee or separate indenture trustee hereunder;
and
(iii) the COLT Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any separate indenture trustee or co-indenture
trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the COLT Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
indenture trustees and co-indenture trustees, as effectively as if given to each
of them. Every instrument appointing any
38
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this COLT Indenture and the
conditions of this Article VI. Each separate indenture trustee and co-indenture
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 COLT Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this COLT Indenture, specifically including
every provision of this COLT Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the COLT Indenture Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the COLT Indenture Trustee.
(d) Any separate indenture trustee or co-indenture trustee may at
any time appoint the COLT Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact
with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this COLT Indenture on its behalf and in its
name. If any separate indenture trustee or co-indenture 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
COLT Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment
of a new or successor co-indenture trustee or successor indenture trustee.

to which it is a party or on the transactions contemplated hereunder and

2005-SN1 Secured Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the COLT Indenture Trustee shall
be brought in its own name as COLT Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the COLT Indenture Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders in
respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

occur and be continuing, the COLT Indenture Trustee, in its discretion may,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders under this COLT
Indenture by a Proceeding whether for the specific performance of any covenant
or agreement contained in this COLT Indenture or in aid of the execution of any
power granted in this COLT Indenture or for the enforcement of any other legal,

Section 6.1, the COLT Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the COLT Indenture Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the COLT
Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that
the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal
liability; and provided, further, that nothing in this COLT Indenture shall
impair the right of the COLT Indenture Trustee to take any action deemed proper

by the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders.

materially and adversely impair the security for the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes

independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or
other instrument delivered to the COLT Indenture Trustee pursuant to the

indenture proposed pursuant to this Section 9.2 and any such determination shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Holders of all COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes,
whether authenticated and delivered thereunder before or after the date upon
which such supplemental indenture becomes effective. The COLT Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

permitting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this

immunities under this COLT Indenture or otherwise.

under this COLT Indenture of the COLT Indenture Trustee, COLT and the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,
and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and
be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this COLT Indenture for any
and all purposes.
SECTION 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of
this COLT Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this

Indenture Trustee and COLT, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared
and executed by COLT and authenticated and delivered by the COLT Indenture

SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to COLT Indenture
Trustee.
(a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified
by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that

or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
(b) Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of COLT may

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

application or certificate or report to the COLT Indenture Trustee, it is
provided that COLT shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of
such application, or as evidence of COLT's compliance with any term hereof, it
is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such
application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case
may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be
conditions precedent to the right of COLT to have such application granted or to
the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however,
be construed to affect the COLT Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth
and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as
provided in Article VI.
SECTION 11.3 Acts of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing and shall
be subject to Section 5.11; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the COLT Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to COLT. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, as applicable, signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or
51
of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this COLT Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the COLT
Indenture Trustee and COLT, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the COLT Indenture
Trustee deems sufficient.

thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the COLT Indenture Trustee or COLT in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Note.
SECTION 11.4 Notices, Etc., to COLT Indenture Trustee, COLT and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders or other documents provided
or permitted by this COLT Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or
filed with:
(a) the COLT Indenture Trustee by any COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder or by COLT shall be made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or
with the COLT Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or
(b) COLT by the COLT Indenture Trustee or by any COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing
and either sent by electronic facsimile transmission (with hard copy to follow
via first class mail) or mailed, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
by overnight mail to COLT and the COLT Owner Trustee each at the address
specified in Part III of Exhibit I to the Declaration.
COLT shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders to the COLT Indenture Trustee and the COLT
Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received by it
from the COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders to COLT.
(c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by COLT, the
COLT Indenture Trustee or the COLT Owner Trustee shall be delivered as specified

(a) Where this COLT Indenture provides for notice to the COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders of any condition or event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person's address as it appears on the
Secured Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
52
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If notice to COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given
regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.
(b) Where this COLT Indenture provides for notice in any manner,
such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by COLT 2005-SN1 Secured
Noteholders shall be filed with the COLT Indenture Trustee but such filing shall
not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance
upon such a waiver.
(c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as
a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event of COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholders when such
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this COLT Indenture,
then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the COLT
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
(d) Where this COLT Indenture provides for notice to the Rating
Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or
obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute
an Event of Default.
SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision of this COLT Indenture or any of the
COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes to the contrary, COLT may enter into any agreement
with any Holder of a COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the COLT Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such
Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this COLT Indenture
for such payments or notices. COLT shall furnish to the COLT Indenture Trustee a
copy of each such agreement and the COLT Indenture Trustee shall cause payments
to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements at the
expense of COLT.
SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

another provision hereof that is required to be included in this COLT Indenture
by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.
(b) The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose
duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included

govern this COLT Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this COLT Indenture.

SECTION 11.16 No Recourse.
(a) Each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder agrees by acceptance of a

successor or assign of the COLT Indenture Trustee or the COLT Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity (or any of their successors or

no such obligation in their individual capacity) and except that any such
partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent
provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to
such entity. For all purposes of this COLT Indenture, in the performance
of any duties or obligations of COLT hereunder, the COLT Owner Trustee
shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Articles IV, V and VI of the Declaration; or
(iv) COLT or any portion of the assets of COLT other than with
respect to the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate.
(b) Except as expressly provided in the COLT 2005-SN1 Basic
Documents, neither the Seller, the Servicer, the COLT Indenture Trustee nor the
COLT Owner Trustee in
55
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in
COLT, nor any of their respective partners, owners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally
liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of
principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Notes or this COLT Indenture.
SECTION 11.17 No Petition.
Each of the COLT Indenture Trustee by entering this COLT Indenture
and each Holder of a COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note, by its acceptance thereof,
hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year and one day
after the payment in full of all COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Notes, it shall not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, COLT any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of
the United States. This Section 11.17 shall survive the termination of this COLT
Indenture.
SECTION 11.18 Inspection.
COLT agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any
representative of the COLT Indenture Trustee, during COLT's normal business
hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of
COLT, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited
by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss COLT's affairs,
finances and accounts with COLT's officers, employees and Independent certified
public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested. The COLT Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its
representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent
disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for
confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the COLT
Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent
with its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 11.19 Indemnification by and Reimbursement of the Servicer.
The COLT Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees to reimburse (i) the Servicer
and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with the COLT
Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Seller and its directors, officers, employees
and agents in accordance with the COLT Servicing Agreement. The COLT Indenture
Trustee further acknowledges and accepts the conditions and limitations with
respect to the Servicer's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the COLT
Indenture Trustee harmless as set forth in the COLT Servicing Agreement for any
Series.
SECTION 11.20 Series Liabilities. It is expressly understood and
agreed by each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, by its acceptance of its COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Note, that COLT is a series trust pursuant to Sections 3804 and
3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Act. As such, separate and distinct records
shall be maintained for each Series Portfolio and the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate
shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of COLT. The
debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or
otherwise existing with respect to each Series of Secured Notes, shall be
enforceable against the related
56
Series Portfolio of COLT only, and not against the assets of COLT generally or
any other Series Portfolio securing any other Series of Secured Notes.
SECTION 11.21 Subordination. COLT and each Holder of a COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Note, by accepting its COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note, acknowledges and
agrees that such COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note represents indebtedness of COLT and
does not represent an interest in any other assets of COLT allocated to any
other Series Portfolio (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect
of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the COLT 2005-SN1 Trust
Estate and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the
foregoing, to the extent COLT enters into other securitization transactions,
including in connection with the issuance of other Series of Secured Notes, each
of COLT and each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, by accepting its COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right,
title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than the
COLT 2005-SN1 Trust Estate) conveyed or purported to be conveyed or pledged by
COLT to another Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a
sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) ("Other
Assets"). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions
contained in the preceding sentences of this subsection, COLT or any COLT
2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder either (a) asserts an interest or claim to, or
benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the COLT
Indenture Trustee or any other Person, or (b) is deemed to have any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law,
legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise
(including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any
successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and
whether deemed asserted against or through the COLT Indenture Trustee or any
other Person, then COLT and each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder, by accepting
its COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such
interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and
liabilities of COLT which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to
the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled
to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not
any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise
entitled to a priority of distribution or application under applicable law,
including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against the COLT 2005-SN1
Secured Noteholder), including the payment of post-petition interest on such
other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed
a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code. Each COLT 2005-SN1 Secured Noteholder further acknowledges and agrees that
no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.21 and the
terms of this Section 11.21 may be enforced by an action for specific
performance. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall be for the third party
benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of
this COLT Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, COLT and the COLT Indenture Trustee have caused
