The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to an Issuer Order for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. Each Note shall be dated as of the date of its authentication. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.06. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable -38- 45 delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 4.02 hereof, without charge to the Holder.

Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes. SECTION 2.07. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. No transfer of a Note may be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or is exempt from the registration requirements under the 1933 Act and meets the requirements of, or is exempt from, any applicable state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act (other than the exemption contained in Rule 144A thereunder), the Issuer and the Note Registrar may require, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act, (i) that the Noteholder desiring to effect -39- 46 such transfer and the Noteholder's prospective transferee each verify to the Issuer and the Note Registrar in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, and/or (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to each of them that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the 1933 Act, which opinion of counsel may in the case of the initial Holder be an opinion of internal counsel of such Holder and in any event shall not be an expense of the Issuer. In the event that registration of transfer of a Note is to be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the 1933 Act contained in rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Note Registrar shall register such transfer upon the receipt by the Note Registrar and the Issuer of a certificate in the form of Exhibit C-1, Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3 hereto. The Note Registrar shall not register any transfer if in the written opinion of counsel to the Issuer (which opinion of counsel shall be delivered to any Noteholder upon request therefor), the transfer would violate the 1933 Act. Neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register the certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities law. Subject to the preceding paragraph, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like Class and aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like Class and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

SECTION 7.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Noteholders may declare the principal of the Notes to be immediately due and payable prior to the payment in full of the Senior Blue Hawk Obligations. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing and all of the Senior Blue Hawk Obligations have been paid in full, the Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount the Notes may declare the principal of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of such declaration of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of Notes representing 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: -66- 73 (1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and (2) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.11 hereof. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that (i) if default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note, when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 3 Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Note, when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon payment in full of the Senior Blue Hawk Obligations and upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal at the interest rate specified in Section 2.10 hereof, and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, but in no event prior to such time, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, in addition to exercising its rights as the Controlling Party, if any, under the Security Agreement, 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 -67- 74 against the Issuer and collect in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral allocated to the Noteholders under the Security Agreement, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable; provided, however, that to the extent that the Collateral allocable to the Holders of the Notes under the Security Agreement is for any reason insufficient to provide for the payment of amounts owing to the Holders of the Notes, no Holder shall have any recourse to the Issuer or to any other Person for the amount of such insufficiency nor shall any Holder have a Claim against the Issuer for the amount of any such insufficiency. (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, to the extent consistent with the provisions of the Security Agreement and subject in all respects to Sections 12.07 and 12.08 hereof, in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. (e) In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings. SECTION 7.04. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all of the Senior Blue Hawk Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Trustee shall be the Controlling Party under the Security Agreement and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights -68- 75 of the Controlling Party thereunder for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no other rights in respect of the Collateral other than those given to the Controlling Party under the Security Agreement. SECTION 7.05. Application of Money Collected. Any moneys received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes, including the sums received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Security Agreement, shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal, upon presentation of Notes and stamping the notation thereon of the payment (or the issuance of Notes in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Notes) if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of amounts due as interest on the Class A Notes at a rate per annum not in excess of 7.55%; SECOND: To the payment of amounts due as interest on the Class B Notes at a rate per annum not in excess of 11%; THIRD: To the outstanding principal of the Class A Notes until the principal of the Class A Notes is reduced to zero; FOURTH: To the outstanding principal of the Class B Notes until the principal of the Class B Notes is reduced to zero; FIFTH: To Step-Up Interest Amounts due on the Class A Notes; and SIXTH: To Step-Up Interest Amounts due on the Class B Notes. SECTION 7.06. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; -69- 76 (2) the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided. In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. SECTION 7.07. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. -70- 77 SECTION 7.08. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 7.09. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any 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 Seven or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be. SECTION 7.10. Control by Noteholders. The Holders of 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each Class shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, including the right to act as the Controlling Party under the Security Agreement; provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 8.01 hereof, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability for which it is not adequately indemnified hereby (considering the likelihood of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf of the Issuer or pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof), or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. -71- 78 SECTION 7.11. Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 7.02 hereof, the Holders of Notes of 66-2/3% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 7.12. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of an optional redemption pursuant to Section 11.01, on or after the Redemption Date or, in the case of a mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 11.04, on or after the applicable Payment Date). -72- 79 SECTION 7.13.

ARTICLE EIGHT The Trustee SECTION 8.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) 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 this Indenture; but 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 the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. -73- 80 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own wilful misconduct, except that: (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes (such majority shall not include those Notes, if any, that are to be disregarded in accordance with the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding" in Section 1.01 hereof), 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 this Indenture.

(f) No provision of this Indenture 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 hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. In determining that such repayment or indemnity is not reasonably assured to it, the Trustee must consider not only the likelihood of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf of the Issuer but also the likelihood of repayment or indemnity from amounts payable to it pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof. -74- 81 (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to take actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its own negligence or wilful misconduct. (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any suit, or to take any remedial proceeding under this Indenture, or to enter any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made defendant, or in the enforcement of any rights and powers hereunder, including actions taken in connection with any Proceeding described in Section 7.03(d), if the Trustee reasonably believes that it will not be adequately indemnified against any and all costs and expenses, outlays, and counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements and against all liability, except liability that is adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or wilful misconduct, in connection with any action so taken. (i) Notwithstanding any extinguishment of all right, title and interest of the Issuer, or any other Person having an ownership interest in the Collateral following an Event of Default and a consequent declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes, whether such extinguishment occurs through a sale of such Collateral to another Person, the acquisition of the Collateral by the Trustee or otherwise, the rights, powers, and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Collateral (or the proceeds thereof) and the Noteholders and the rights of the Noteholders shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Indenture. SECTION 8.02. Notice of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Registered Holders of Notes, notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. -75- 82 SECTION 8.03. Certain Rights of the Trustee.

SECTION 8.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. (a) The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the certificates of authentication on the Notes, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to any Receivable or the Collateral or as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof or any money paid to the Issuer or upon Issuer Order pursuant to the provisions hereof. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to the existence or validity of any Receivable or whether such Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, the perfection of any security interest (whether as of the date hereof or at any future time), the maintenance of or the taking of any action to maintain such perfection, the validity of the assignment of any portion of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or of any intervening assignment, the performance or enforcement of any Receivable, the compliance by the Issuer or the Servicer with any covenant or the breach by the Issuer or the Servicer of any warranty or representation made hereunder or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation, any investment of money in -77- 84 either the Cash Collateral Account or Reserve Account or any loss resulting therefrom, the acts or omissions of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Collateral Agent, any action of the Collateral Agent taken in the name of the Trustee or the validity of the Security Agreement. (c) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability under any Receivable by reason of or arising out of this Indenture or the receipt by the Trustee of any payment relating to any Receivable pursuant hereto, nor shall the Trustee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Issuer under or pursuant to any Receivable, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it, or the sufficiency of any performance by any party, under any Receivable. (d) Subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any document delivered to it unless such document is also a document required to be delivered to it under this Indenture. (e) Until the complete satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Trustee shall retain all material reports, statements and other documents delivered to it in accordance with provisions hereof. SECTION 8.05. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Note Registrar or such other agent. SECTION 8.06. Interest on Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments that are deposits in or certificates of deposits or other obligations of the Trustee in its commercial capacity. SECTION 8.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Issuer agrees: (1) to pay the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by -78- 85 any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and (3) to indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

If such Trustee publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 8.08, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Eight. SECTION 8.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article Eight shall become effective until the -79- 86 acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 8.10 hereof. (b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice of resignation by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of the Notes at their addresses appearing on the Note Register. Upon receiving notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to Section 7.12 hereof, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (c) If at any time: (1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.08 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Noteholder; or (2) (i) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, (ii) there shall have been instituted any proceeding by or against the Trustee seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 30 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the -80- 87 entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or (iii) the Trustee commences a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trustee or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors or the Trustee fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; then, in any such case the Issuer by an Issuer Order may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to Section 7.12 hereof, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (d) The Holders of a majority of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by delivering to the Trustee to be removed and to the Issuer, copies of the record of the Act taken by the Holders of the Notes, as provided for in Section 12.04 hereof. (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, the Issuer, by an Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. If within one year after such resignation, removal, or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes delivered to the Issuer and the retiring trustee, the successor trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its -81- 88 acceptance of such appointment become the successor trustee and supersede the successor trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Noteholders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Noteholder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (f) The Issuer shall give notice of each removal of the Trustee by mailing notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 8.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor trustee, such predecessor trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to act hereunder. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and conforming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.10, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Notes at their last addresses appearing upon the Note Register. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer. -82- 89 No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article Eight. SECTION 8.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Eight, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. SECTION 8.12. Co-Trustee and Separate Trustee. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of Notes representing at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee with the Trustee under this Indenture, or to act as separate trustee under this Indenture, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.12 shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.08 hereof. -83- 90 Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: (1) The Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Trustee. (2) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such Act, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. (3) The Trustee at any time by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section. -84- 91 (4) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder. (5) The Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee. (6) Any Act of Noteholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. ARTICLE NINE Noteholders' Lists and Reports SECTION 9.01.

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 9.01 hereof and the names and addresses of Holders of Notes received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar.

Upon the written request of any Noteholder or Note Owner, the Trustee shall promptly send such Noteholder or Note Owner any other reports or notices received by the Trustee pursuant hereto, provided that, in the case of such Note Owner, the Note Owner provides to the Trustee evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee establishing such Note Owner's then-current ownership of a Book-Entry Note.

The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder.

If the Issuer shall elect to redeem Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01 it shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than 25 -89- 96 days prior to the Redemption Date, whereupon such Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the Trustee's furnishing of a notice complying with Section 11.02 hereof to each Holder of the Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01. SECTION 11.02. Form of Optional Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section 11.01 hereof shall be given by the Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's address appearing in the Note Register as of the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the mailing of such notice. All notices of optional redemption shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price; and (3) the place where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 4.02 hereof). Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note. SECTION 11.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date or Payment Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 11.02 hereof, the Notes shall on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the Redemption Date. SECTION 11.04. Mandatory Redemption. If an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Senior Blue Hawk Obligations have been paid in full, any amounts received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement and not required to pay interest in respect of the Notes shall be applied to make mandatory redemptions on each Payment Date of principal of the Class A Notes and, following retirement thereof, the Class B -90- 97 Notes, in each case at the Redemption Price. Notes subject to mandatory redemption on any Payment Date shall be due and payable on such Payment Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 11.05 hereof to the Holders of such Notes. SECTION 11.05. Form of Mandatory Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section 11.04 hereof shall be given by the Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Payment Date to each Holder of Notes subject to mandatory redemption, as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date preceding the applicable Payment Date at such Holder's address appearing in the Note Register. All notices of mandatory redemption shall state: (1) the Payment Date on which such redemption will occur; (2) the Redemption Price; and (3) the place where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 4.02 hereof). Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note. SECTION 11.06. Notes Subject to Mandatory Redemption Payable on Specified Payment Date. Notice of mandatory redemption having been given as provided in Section 11.05 hereof, the Notes shall on such Payment Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after such Payment Date. SECTION 11.07. Selection of Notes for Optional or Mandatory Redemption; Surrender of Notes. If less than all of the Notes of any Class are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes of the applicable Class, or portions thereof, shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem -91- 98 fair and appropriate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Eleven, the Trustee shall not redeem in part any Note if after giving effect to such partial redemption the outstanding principal amount of such Note would equal $100,000 or less. If any Note is to be redeemed in part (i) the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and (ii) a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder upon surrender and cancellation of the original Note. ARTICLE TWELVE Miscellaneous SECTION 12.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee (i) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include: (1) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such -92- 99 signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with. SECTION 12.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the -93- 100 granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article Eight hereof. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of such Default or Event of Default. SECTION 12.03. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more substantially similar instruments signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 8.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (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 Trustee deems sufficient. (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. -94- 101 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. SECTION 12.04. Notices, etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with: (1) the Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or (2) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to: Broadway Receivables, Inc., 1600 N. Kramer Boulevard, Anaheim, California 92806, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Trustee. (b) The Trustee shall give prompt, written notice to the Rating Agencies at, in the case of S&P, 25 Broadway, New York, NY 10004, or, in the case of Fitch, One State Street Plaza, New York, NY 10004, and if the Trustee fails to give such notice the Issuer shall give such notice, of: (1) any resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee, (2) any Event of Default, of which notice must be given to any Noteholders, and (3) the final payment of all the Notes. SECTION 12.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waivers. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless -95- 102 otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage, or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default. The Trustee agrees to give the Rating Agencies such notices as provided hereunder as a matter of courtesy and accommodation, but the Trustee shall have no liability or obligation to the Rating Agencies or any other Person if it shall fail to give such notice. SECTION 12.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such pay- -96- 103 ments. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause payments to be made in accordance with such agreements. SECTION 12.07. Limited Recourse Obligations. The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely out of the Collateral and the proceeds thereof. To the extent that the Collateral allocable to the holders of the Notes under the Security Agreement is for any reason insufficient to provide for the payment of amounts owing to the holders of the Notes, no holder of any Note shall have any recourse to the Issuer or to any other Person for the amount of such insufficiency nor shall any holder have a Claim against the Issuer for the amount of any such insufficiency. SECTION 12.08. Non-Petition Agreement. The Trustee agrees, and by its acceptance of a Note each Noteholder agrees, that prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Issuer's obligations in respect of the Blue Hawk Credit Facility and the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Issuer, 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. SECTION 12.09. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. SECTION 12.10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 12.11. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. SECTION 12.12. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and in the case of Section 12.08 hereof, Blue Hawk Funding Corporation and the other holders of the Issuer's obligations under the -97- 104 Blue Hawk Credit Facility, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Indenture. SECTION 12.13. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. SECTION 12.14. Governing Law. This Indenture and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein. SECTION 12.15. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. SECTION 12.16. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee under this Indenture. SECTION 12.17. Corporate Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against any owner of an equity interest in the Issuer except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such owner shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. SECTION 12.18. Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any repre- -98- 105 sentative of the Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances, and accounts with the Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The 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 Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder. Any expenses incident to the exercise by the Trustee of any right under this Section 12.18 shall be borne by the Trustee; provided that if an audit is made during the continuance of an Event of Default, the expense incident to such audit shall be borne by the Issuer. -99- 106 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized all as of the day and year first above written.
