Noteholder or by his or her executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or his or her or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing, in form and as to execution satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe and upon surrender of the Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation, whereupon a new Note in an aggregate principal amount, currency and interest rate, if any, and with the same maturity date, will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. The Note Registers will, at all reasonable times on Business Days, be open for inspection by the Issuer and any Noteholder.
(b)Notes in any authorized denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of the same Series and Class and having the same Principal Terms in any other authorized denomination or denominations. In every case of exchange of Notes of any denomination for other Notes and of any transfer and registration of Notes, the Indenture Trustee may make a sufficient charge to reimburse it for any stamp taxes or governmental charge for its services and a reasonable sum per Note issued upon such exchange or transfer.

(b)Delivery of a Note to the Indenture Trustee by the holder of such Note shall, upon payment in full of all amounts outstanding on such Note, be a good discharge to the Issuer of all obligations evidenced by such Note. The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to enquire into the title of any such holder, save as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute, nor shall it be bound to see to the execution of any trust affecting the ownership of any Note or be affected by notice of any equity that may be subsisting in respect thereof.
(c)In the case of the death of one or more joint registered owners, the principal money of and interest, if any, on a Note may be paid to the survivor or survivors of such registered holders whose receipt thereof, accompanied by the delivery of such Note, shall constitute a valid discharge to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
(d)Any payment of principal or interest on any Note which is due on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day without adjustment for interest thereon and such payment shall be deemed to have been made with the same force and effect as if made on the due date unless stated otherwise in the Related Supplement.

Indenture Trustee, in each case, as they may require, the Indenture Trustee shall certify and deliver a new Note of the same Series and Class and having the same Principal Terms and an equivalent principal amount as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Note or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Note and the substituted Note shall be entitled to the security hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Notes of the same Series and Class issued hereunder. The applicant for a new Note shall bear the cost of the issue thereof, and in case of loss, destruction or theft, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof shall furnish such an affidavit of loss in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and an indemnity and a surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, in each case, as they may require, and shall pay the reasonable charges of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
1.9Cancellation of Notes.
All Notes surrendered or delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation under this Indenture shall be forthwith cancelled by it as soon as practicable and, if required by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to it a certificate setting forth the numbers and denominations of the Notes so cancelled.
1.10Protection of Notes.
(a)The Indenture Trustee shall hold in safekeeping the Notes which have not been issued (but which have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee by or on behalf of the Issuer) pending receipt of a Written Order. The Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the Notes so delivered by signing and returning to the Issuer an acknowledgement of receipt of the Notes, such acknowledgement to be in a form satisfactory to the Issuer.
(b)The Indenture Trustee’s responsibility for any Notes held in its custody hereunder shall be limited to using the same diligence in physically safeguarding such Notes as it does for its own securities. The Indenture Trustee shall account for the unissued Notes held in its custody whenever so required by the Issuer. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall discover that any of such Notes have been lost, damaged, destroyed, stolen or misappropriated, it shall promptly advise the Issuer thereof and identify, to the extent practicable, such Notes.
1.11Access to List of Noteholders’ Names and Addresses.
The Indenture Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Issuer or the Related Paying Agent, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a request therefor, a list in such form as the Issuer or the Related Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the current Noteholders of any particular Series or Classes.
1.12Certifying Agent.
(a)The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more certifying agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in certifying the Notes in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Notes. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the certification of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s certification, such reference shall be deemed to include certification on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by a certifying agent and certification executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by a certifying agent. Each certifying agent must be acceptable to the Issuer.
(b)Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of a certifying agent shall continue to be a certifying agent without any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such certifying agent. A certifying agent may at any time resign by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of a certifying agent by giving notice of termination to such certifying agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time a certifying agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee promptly may appoint a successor certifying agent. Any successor certifying agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor

hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as a certifying agent. No successor certifying agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer agrees to pay to each certifying agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 2.12. The provisions of Article 12 shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to any certifying agent.
(c)Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 2.12, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Indenture Trustee’s certification, an alternate certification in substantially the following form:

1.13Book-Entry Notes.
(a)Except as provided in the Related Supplement for any Notes of a particular Series and subject to Subsection 2.13(c), Notes of a particular Class of a Series, upon original issuance, shall be issued under the Book-Entry System, in the form of a global Note certificate representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Clearing Agency by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of such Class of Notes of such Series. The Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Registers in the name of the Clearing Agency or its nominee and no Book-Entry Noteholder will receive Definitive Notes representing such Noteholder’s interest in the Notes, except as provided in Subsection 2.13(c) or the Related Supplement. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Noteholders pursuant to Subsection 2.13(c) or as otherwise specified in the Related Supplement for any Notes:
(i)the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii)the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of payments and the delivery of any notice, report or other communication) as the registered holder of the Notes and as the authorized representative of the respective Book-Entry Noteholders;
(iii)to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.13 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall prevail;
(iv)the rights of the respective Book-Entry Noteholders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency (in person or represented by proxy in favour of the respective Participants) and shall be limited to those established herein and by law;
(v)all transfers and exchanges of Book-Entry Notes must be made through the Book-Entry System and any Person transferring a Book-Entry Note in such manner shall be deemed to have transferred to the transferee all of such Person’s rights and obligations in respect thereof; all transferees of Book-Entry Notes shall be deemed to have received and accepted such transfer and be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Indenture; and
(vi)for purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, holders of Debt Obligations evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Debt
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20

Obligations then outstanding, the Indenture Trustee is entitled to act and rely upon the instructions of the Clearing Agency that it has received instructions, directly or indirectly through their respective Participants, to such effect from Book-Entry Noteholders owning or representing, respectively, the requisite percentage of Notes.
(b)Subject to Subsection 2.13(a), each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Book-Entry Noteholders through their respective Participants are collectively entitled, under the terms hereof, to all of the rights accorded to registered holders of Notes and are bound by all of the obligations of such Noteholders.
(c)When a Book-Entry Note has been deposited with the Clearing Agency, the rights of the Book-Entry Noteholders represented by a Book-Entry Note, with respect to the interest acquired, the time at which it is acquired, the method of transfer and the ability and procedure to enforce payment shall be as determined by the rules of the Clearing Agency.
(d)Payments of interest on Book-Entry Notes and payments of amounts due upon maturity of Book-Entry Notes will be made in accordance with the rules of the Clearing Agency.
(e)If Book-Entry Notes have been issued and (i) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as the Clearing Agency with respect to such Notes and the Clearing Agency is unable to locate a qualified successor; or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Related Event of Default, Book-Entry Noteholders representing, in aggregate, not less than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount then outstanding of the Notes of the affected Series advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency and the Participants in writing, that the continuation of the Book-Entry System with respect to such Notes is no longer in the best interests of the Book-Entry Noteholders with respect to such Notes, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify the relevant Book-Entry Noteholders of such Notes, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Book-Entry Noteholders requesting the same. Upon surrender by the Clearing Agency of the single global certificate or certificates representing the Notes and accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for re-registration, the Indenture Trustee shall certify and deliver such Definitive Notes. None of the General Partner, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively act and rely on, and shall be protected in acting and relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall recognize the registered holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder.
(f)If Definitive Notes have been issued and thereafter the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee of the availability of the Book-Entry System in regard to such Notes, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may agree to allow for the re-registration of such Definitive Notes under the Book-Entry System and the Indenture Trustee shall forthwith deliver notice thereof to each registered holder of such Notes. Upon surrender by any such Noteholder of its Definitive Note accompanied by instructions for re-registration of the Note under the Book-Entry System, such Note shall thereafter be re-issued under the Book-Entry System and be subject to Subsection 2.13(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), mutatis mutandis.
(g)Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to the Noteholders of any Series, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the applicable Noteholders, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall give all such notices and communications to the applicable Clearing Agency.
1.14Payment of Debt Obligations.
(a)The entire principal amount of the Debt Obligations, except as otherwise specified in the Related Supplement, shall be due and payable on the maturity thereof unless such Debt Obligations become due and payable at an earlier date by acceleration, call, redemption or otherwise.
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20
Signature Page to Master Trust Indenture


(b)The Debt Obligations shall accrue interest as specified in the Related Supplement.
(c)Subject to Section 2.14(f), any amount payable on any Note shall be paid to the Noteholder as of the Record Date, if any, for the Related Distribution Date by cheque mailed at least one Business Day prior to the Related Distribution Date to such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register at the close of business on such Record Date. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the payment due on such Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby, unless such cheque is not paid on presentation. In the event of non-receipt of such cheque by such Noteholder or the loss or destruction thereof, the Issuer and/or the Indenture Trustee, upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in their discretion, shall issue or cause to be issued to such Noteholder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Book-Entry Note is deposited with the Clearing Agency, then, unless and until the rules of the Clearing Agency are amended to permit the discharge from liability of the Issuer upon the deposit or making available of funds, the deposit or making available of such amount to the Related Payment Account or mailing of cheques shall neither satisfy nor discharge the liability of the Issuer for the Note represented by such Book-Entry Note to which the deposit or making available of funds relates to the extent of the amount deposited or made available (plus the amount of any taxes deducted as aforesaid). Until the rules of the Clearing Agency are amended as aforesaid, the liability of the Issuer for a Book-Entry Note will be discharged upon payment by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary, the Issuer will pay, if so requested in writing by a Noteholder or if required by the rules, by-laws, procedures or guidelines of Payments Canada or similar body, all amounts payable to such Noteholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Related Distribution Date to such account or accounts as specified by the Noteholder.
(d)The Issuer shall deposit to the Related Payment Account not later than each Related Distribution Date such sums as may be sufficient to pay all amounts then due to the Debtholders of the Related Series on such Related Distribution Date. To the extent that the amounts on deposit in the Related Payment Account on any Related Distribution Date (including proceeds of Debt Obligations issued) are insufficient to pay all amounts then due on the Related Series on such Related Distribution Date, the amount so deposited shall be paid to the Debtholders of such Related Series in accordance with the Related Supplement.
(e)The final payment on any Note shall, if such Note is a Definitive Note, be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after the Related Distribution Date at one or more chartered banks in the City of Toronto identified by the Issuer or any branch of the Indenture Trustee designated for such purpose from time to time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, or if such Note has been called for redemption or repayment, at any other place as may be specified in the notice of redemption or repayment. If such Note is a Book-Entry Note on deposit with a Clearing Agency, such final payment shall be deposited with such Clearing Agency and paid to the beneficial owners thereof in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s practices and procedures and the Clearing Agency shall deliver such Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation.
(f)Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, then payments shall be made in accordance with the Related Supplement.
1.15Interest Act.
For the purpose of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate of interest payable under this Indenture that is calculated on any basis other than a full calendar year is equivalent may be determined by multiplying such rate by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such yearly rate of interest is to be ascertained and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising such other basis. The parties further agree that for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Indenture or the Notes, and (ii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Indenture or the Notes are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

1.16Repayment of Unclaimed Money.
Subject to applicable law, any money deposited to the Related Payment Accounts pursuant to Section 2.14 and not claimed by and paid to Noteholders as provided in such Section within six (6) years after the date on which payment first becomes due and payable, shall be repaid to the Issuer, with interest, if any, on demand, and thereupon the Issuer shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money, and thereafter the holders of the Notes in respect of which such moneys were so repaid to the Issuer shall have no rights in respect thereof and the Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations in respect thereof.

Such records of payment shall be conclusive evidence of the unpaid principal balance and interest owing in the absence of demonstrable error.

If, with respect to the Debt Obligations of any particular Series, a Related Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or any holder of the Debt Obligations of such Series shall receive from the Issuer, or the Indenture Trustee shall hold, any amount for payment of the principal of or interest on such Debt Obligations, the Indenture Trustee or such holder, as the case may be, shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Specified Creditors, as their interests may appear in the Related Program Agreements, in accordance with and to the extent of their respective priorities.

In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall make any payment to any holder of such Debt Obligations contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.2, then such holder shall repay any amount so received to the Indenture Trustee, to be held and applied by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2.

(a)A Related Event of Default means, with respect to the Related Debt Obligations, (i) the occurrence of any event specified as such in the Related Supplement; or (ii) the happening of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”):
(i)Insolvency. The Issuer or the General Partner admits its inability to pay its liabilities generally as they become due or makes a general assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the Issuer or the General Partner or otherwise acknowledges the insolvency of the Issuer or the General Partner, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Issuer or the General Partner seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent or seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or relief of debtors or seeking the entry of an order for relief by the appointment of a Receiver, trustee or other similar official for the Issuer or the General Partner or for any substantial part of its property and if such proceeding has been instituted against the Issuer or the General Partner, either such proceeding has not been stayed or dismissed within forty-five (45) days or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a Receiver) are granted in whole or in part, or if a Receiver is privately appointed in respect of the Issuer or the General Partner or of the property of the Issuer or the General Partner or any substantial part thereof;
(ii)Encumbrancer. An encumbrancer, other than the Indenture Trustee, takes possession of the Collateral or any material part thereof, or any process or execution is levied or enforced upon or against the Collateral or any material part thereof, and remains unsatisfied for such period as would permit any such property to be sold thereunder, and such event could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Related Debt Obligations (such material adverse effect to be determined without reference to any available Credit Enhancement) unless such process is in good faith disputed by the Issuer and the Issuer gives or causes to be given security which is sufficient to pay in full the amount thereby claimed in case the claim is held to be valid;
(iii)Winding-Up Order. An order is made or an effective resolution passed for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or the General Partner;
(b)The Issuer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, promptly upon the Issuer obtaining knowledge thereof, written notice in the form of a Certificate of the Issuer of any Related Default or Related Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
1.2Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a)Subject to the terms of the Related Supplement for any Series, if a Related Event of Default for any Series should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case (other than in the case of an Event of Default set out in Section 8.1(a)(i) or as provided in the Related Supplement for any Series) the Indenture Trustee may and shall, upon the request in writing of the holders of such Series representing not less than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Debt Obligations of such Series then outstanding, declare all the Debt Obligations of such Series to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee if given by the Debtholders), and upon any such declaration or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(a)(i) or as provided in the Related Supplement for any Series, the aggregate principal amount of Debt Obligations of such Series then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20

acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable and the security hereby constituted and pursuant to the Related Supplement shall forthwith become enforceable. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(b), if the Indenture Trustee or such holders makes such declaration, the Issuer will forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee and the Debtholders all Obligations Secured together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such payment.
(b)At any time after such declaration of or other acceleration of maturity of a Series has been made and before a judgment or order for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Article 9, the holders representing not less than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Debt Obligations of such Series then outstanding may, by written notice to the Issuer and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, rescind and annul such declaration or other acceleration and its consequences if:
(i)the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A)all payments of principal of and interest on all Debt Obligations of the affected Series and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Debt Obligations if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;
(B)all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and Counsel; and
(C)all amounts due and payable to the other Related Specified Creditors; and
(ii)all Related Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debt Obligations that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

1.2Notice of Event of Default.
(a)The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Related Debtholders of the occurrence of a Default, within a reasonable time, but not exceeding in any event ten (10) Business Days, after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of the occurrence thereof, unless the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Related Debtholders and so advises the Issuer in writing.

(i)institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Related Obligations Secured or under this Indenture and the Related Supplement with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgement obtained, and collect upon such Obligations Secured moneys adjudged due;
(ii)institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure with respect to the Related Collateral;
(iii)exercise any remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, including taking possession of and using the Related Collateral or any portion thereof, and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Specified Creditors of such Series;
(iv)sell the Related Collateral, 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; and
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20
Signature Page to Master Trust Indenture


(v)appoint a Receiver with respect to the Related Collateral.
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Related Collateral for any Series following a Related Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(a)(i) or (iii) or a Related Event of Default so specified in the Related Supplement, unless: (A) 662/3% of the Debtholders of such Series consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Debtholders of such Series in accordance with the provisions of the Related Supplement will be sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Related Obligations Secured owing to the Debtholders of such Series or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Related Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Related Obligations Secured owing to the Debtholders of such Series as they would have become due if the Related Obligations Secured had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Debtholders of such Series by Extraordinary Resolution of such Debtholders. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the 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 Related Collateral for such purpose.

(b)If a Related Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Debtholders of such Series upon an Extraordinary Resolution of such Debtholders shall (subject to the Indenture Trustee’s rights hereunder and under the Related Supplement), exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Related Seller or the Related Servicer under or in connection with the Related Purchased Asset Sale Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Related Seller or the Related Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Related Purchased Asset Sale Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

If the Debt Obligations of any Series have been declared to be due and payable under Section 8.2 following a Related Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to permit the Issuer to maintain possession of the Related Collateral. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Debtholders of each Series that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Related Debt Obligations, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to permit the Issuer to maintain possession of the Related Collateral.

1.1Right to Convene Meetings.
The Indenture Trustee may at any time and from time to time and will on receipt of a Written Order or a written request signed by the holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding to which such meeting relates and upon receiving sufficient funds and on being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Issuer or by the Debtholders signing such order or request against the costs which may be incurred in connection with the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the Debtholders. In the event of the Indenture Trustee failing within thirty (30) days after receipt of any such order or request and such sufficient funds and indemnity to give notice convening a meeting, the Issuer or such Debtholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting.
1.2Notice of Meetings.
At least fifteen (15) days’ notice of any meeting will be given to (a) the Debtholders to which such meeting relates in the manner provided in Section 14.3, (b) the other Related Specified Creditors in the manner provided in Section 14.4, and (c) the Related Rating Agencies in the manner provided in Section 14.5, and a copy thereof will be sent to the Indenture Trustee in the manner provided in Section 14.2, unless the meeting has been called by it, and to the Issuer, unless the meeting has been called by it. Such notice will state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and will state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat. It will not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 11. Such notice will also state that any Debtholder may be represented at any meeting of Debtholders by a proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing in accordance with the regulations made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.9 and that the appointment of any proxy may be revoked at any time before the commencement of the meeting to which the appointment relates. The non-receipt of any such notice by a Debtholder shall not invalidate any resolution passed at such meeting.
1.3Chairperson.
Any individual, who need not be a Debtholder, nominated in writing by the Indenture Trustee will be chairperson of the meeting and if no person is so nominated, or if the individual so nominated is not present within 15 minutes of the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the Debtholders present in person or represented by proxy will choose an individual present to be chairperson.

1.4Quorum.
Subject to the provisions of Section 11.13, at any meeting of the Debtholders a quorum will consist of Debtholders present in person or represented by proxy and representing at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding to which such meeting relates. If a quorum of the Debtholders is not present within thirty (30) minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Debtholders or pursuant to a request of the Debtholders, will be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next calendar week (unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it will be adjourned to the next following Business Day thereafter) at the same time and place and no notice will be required to be given in respect of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Debtholders present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not represent at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding to which such meeting relates. Where a Debtholder has executed a document in writing appointing a Person as proxy and such Person who is a proxyholder is present at the meeting, the Debtholder will be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, that such Debtholder will be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such document in writing.
1.5Power to Adjourn.
The chairperson of any meeting at which a quorum of Debtholders is present may, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding represented thereat, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.
1.6Show of Hands.
Every question submitted to a meeting will be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on Extraordinary Resolutions will be given in the manner provided in Section 11.7. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as hereinafter provided, a declaration by the chairperson that a resolution had been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority will be conclusive evidence of the fact.
1.7Poll.
On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting when demanded by the chairperson or by one or more Debtholders or proxies for Debtholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding to which such meeting relates, a poll will be taken in such manner and either at once or after an adjournment as the chairperson directs. Questions other than Extraordinary Resolutions will, if a poll be taken, be decided by the votes of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Obligations then outstanding represented at the meeting and voting on the poll.
1.8Voting.
On a show of hands, every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Debtholder or as proxy for one or more Debtholders or both, will have one vote. On a poll, each Debtholder present in person or represented by a proxy will be entitled to one vote in respect of each $1,000 principal amount (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currency) of Debt Obligations of which he is then the holder or which he represents by proxy. A proxy need not be a Debtholder. In the case of joint registered holders of a Debt Obligation, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others but in case more than one of them be present in person or represented by proxy, they will vote together in respect of the Debt Obligations of which they are joint registered holders.
1.9Regulations.
The Indenture Trustee may from time to time make reasonable regulations and may make reasonable variations to the regulations as it thinks fit with respect to:
(a)the voting by Debtholders in respect of Debt Obligations which are not Notes;
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20
Signature Page to Master Trust Indenture


(b)the voting represented by proxy by Debtholders and the form of instrument appointing proxies and the manner in which the same will be executed and with respect to the production of the authority of any Person signing on behalf of the giver of the proxy;
(c)the lodging of instruments appointing proxies at any place or places and in such custody as the Indenture Trustee directs and the time, if any, before the holding of the meeting or adjourned meeting by which the same must be deposited;
(d)the forwarding by the custodian thereof of particulars of instruments appointing proxies by letter, cable, telegraph, facsimile or electronic messaging system before the meeting to the Issuer or to the Indenture Trustee or to the chairperson of the meeting;
(e)the issue of voting certificates to holders of Book-Entry Notes which voting certificates shall entitle the holders named therein to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof, in the same manner and with the same effect as though the holders so named in such voting certificates were the actual registered holders of Definitive Notes; and
(f)any other matters it deems necessary for the proper conduct of the meeting.
Any regulations so made will be binding and effective and votes given in accordance therewith will be valid and will be counted. Instruments appointing proxies, the particulars of which are forwarded in accordance with the regulations, will confer the same right to vote as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting. Save as herein otherwise specified, the only Persons who will be recognized at any meeting of Debtholders as the holders of Debt Obligations or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof will be Debtholders to which such meeting relates and holders of proxies of such Debtholders.

Each of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Related Credit Enhancers and the Related Rating Agencies, by their respective employees, representatives, officers and directors, and the legal advisors of such parties, may attend any meeting of any Debtholders, but will not as such have a vote.

(iii)sanction the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Related Collateral or any part thereof for such consideration as may be specified in the Extraordinary Resolution; and

(i)reference to such fact, indicating each Series so affected, shall be made in the notice of such meeting and the meeting shall be and is herein called a “Series meeting”; and
(ii)the holders of Debt Obligations of a Series so affected shall not be bound by an action taken or power exercised at a meeting of Debtholders generally, or at a Series meeting or by instrument in writing under Section 11.17 unless, in addition to compliance with the other provisions of this Article 11, such action is taken or power exercised by resolution of the Debtholders of such Series as follows:
(A)at such Series meeting:
(I)there is present a quorum consisting of two (2) or more persons holding either personally or as proxies not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Debt Obligations of such Series (subject to the provisions of this Article 11 as to adjourned meetings); and

1.13Meaning of “Extraordinary Resolution”.
(a)Extraordinary Resolution”, wheresoever used herein, subject as hereinafter in this Article 11 provided, means a resolution proposed to be passed as an Extraordinary Resolution at a meeting of Debtholders (of such Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) duly convened for the purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 at which the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Debt Obligations (or applicable Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) then outstanding to which such meeting relates are present in person or represented by proxy and passed by the favourable votes of the holders of not less than 662/3% of the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Obligations (or applicable Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) represented at the meeting and voted on a poll upon such resolution. If, at any such meeting, the holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Obligations (or applicable Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) then outstanding to which such meeting relates are not present in person or represented by proxy within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, then the meeting, if convened by or on the requisition of Debtholders, will be dissolved; but in any other case will stand adjourned to such date, being not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days later and to such place and time as may be appointed by the chairperson. Not less than ten (10) days’ notice will be given to Debtholders of the time and place of such adjourned meeting, in the manner provided in Section 14.3. Such notice will state that at the adjourned meeting, the Debtholders present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum but it will not be necessary to set forth the purposes for which the meeting was originally called or any other particulars. At the adjourned meeting, the Debtholders present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened and a resolution proposed at such adjourned meeting and passed by the requisite vote as provided in this Section 11.13 will be an Extraordinary Resolution within the meaning of this Indenture notwithstanding that the holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Obligations (or applicable Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) then outstanding to which such meeting relates are not present in person or represented by proxy at such adjourned meeting. Votes on an Extraordinary Resolution will always be given on a poll and no demand for a poll on an Extraordinary Resolution will be necessary. The Issuer shall give notice to the Related Rating Agencies and the Related Credit Enhancers of any resolution passed as an Extraordinary Resolution.
(b)All actions which may be taken and all powers that may be exercised by the Debtholders at a meeting held as hereinbefore in this Article 11 provided may also be taken and exercised by the holders of not less than 662/3% of the aggregate principal amount of Debt Obligations (or applicable Series or Class of Debt Obligations, as the case may be) then outstanding, by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts and the expression ‘Extraordinary Resolution’ when used in this Indenture will include an instrument so signed.

It is hereby declared and agreed that any one or more of the powers or any combination of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the Debtholders by Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers or any combination of powers from time to time will not be deemed to exhaust the rights of the Debtholders to exercise the same or any other power or combination of powers thereafter from time to time.
1.16Minutes.
Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting as aforesaid will be made and duly entered in books to be provided for that purpose by the Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Issuer and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chairperson of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings taken, or by the chairperson of the next succeeding meeting of Debtholders to which such meeting relates, will be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting, with respect to the proceedings of which minutes have been made, will be determined to have been duly held and convened, and all resolutions passed thereat or proceedings taken thereat to have been duly passed and taken.
1.17Binding Effect of Resolutions.
Subject to Sections 11.12 and 11.14, every resolution and every Extraordinary Resolution passed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 at a meeting of Debtholders will be binding upon all the Debtholders, whether present at or absent from such meeting, and every instrument in writing signed by Debtholders in accordance with Section 11.13(b) will be binding upon all the Debtholders whether signatories thereto or not, and each and every Debtholder and the Indenture Trustee (subject to the provisions for its indemnity contained in Section 12.3(b) will be bound to give effect accordingly to every such resolution, Extraordinary Resolution and instrument in writing.

(i)reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the time or alter the priority of any payments (whether principal, interest or otherwise) to be made to the holders of Notes then outstanding of a Series or Class of Notes or the Funding Providers of Loans then outstanding of a Series or Class of Loans, as applicable, or deposits of amounts to be so paid, without the consent of each affected holder of a Note then outstanding of such Series or Class of Notes or each affected Funding Provider of a Loan then outstanding of such Series or Class of Accounts, as applicable;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may, in its sole discretion, decline to enter into any such supplemental indenture which may not afford to it adequate protection at such time when it becomes operative.
(b)Subject to Section 11.11(b), amendments to this Indenture for any purpose other than specified above may be made by the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer upon (a) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, as applicable in respect of any rated Debt Obligations, and (b) receipt of an Extraordinary Resolution of each Class of adversely affected holders of Debt Obligations.

not materially or adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debt Obligations then outstanding of any and all Series, and (b) the Issuer has given prompt prior written notice of such proposed action to the Rating Agencies and, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, no Rating Agency has indicated its disagreement with the Issuer’s certification described in the foregoing clause (a); provided further that if, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, relying on the advice of Counsel, such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or postponement would materially or adversely affect the interests of any Debtholders, the Indenture Trustee will not enter into or consent to, as applicable, such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or postponement without, (y) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, as applicable in respect of any rated Debt Obligations, and (z) subject to Section 13.3(b), the consent of the holders of Debt Obligations of the Series or Class that would be materially adversely affected, as evidenced by an Extraordinary Resolution of the holders of each such Series or Class, as the case may be.

The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee, relying upon the advice of Counsel, may prescribe from time to time.

1.3No Petition.
The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Debtholder and other Specified Creditor, by accepting, making or acquiring a Debt Obligation or becoming a Specified Creditor, hereby covenants and agrees that they will not at any time institute or encourage against the Issuer or the General Partner, either in its capacity as the general partner of the Issuer or in its own capacity, or join or acquiesce in any institution against the Issuer or the General Partner, either in its capacity as the general partner of the Issuer or in its own capacity, of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings against the Issuer or the General Partner, either in its capacity as the general partner of the Issuer or in its own capacity, under any federal or provincial bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Obligations Secured, this Indenture or any of the other Program Agreements.

1.4Limited Recourse and Subordination.
The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Debtholder and other Specified Creditor, by accepting, making or acquiring a Debt Obligation or becoming a Specified Creditor, acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations Secured represent indebtedness of the Issuer and do not represent an
CAN_DMS: \139972435\20
Signature Page to Master Trust Indenture


interest in any assets (other than the Related Collateral for such Obligations Secured) of the Issuer (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of Related Obligations Secured not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Related Collateral for such Obligations Secured and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Issuer enters into other securitization transactions or issues any other Series of Debt Obligations, the Indenture Trustee as well as each Related Specified Creditor acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) of the Issuer other than the Related Collateral for such Series and the Related Obligations Secured. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this section, the Indenture Trustee or any Related Specified Creditor either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, assets of the Issuer other than the Related Collateral for the Related Obligations Secured due or owing to the Indenture Trustee or such Related Specified Creditor (“Other Assets”), or (ii) 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 bankruptcy or insolvency laws or otherwise, and whether deemed asserted against or through the Issuer or any other Person, the Indenture Trustee and each such Related Specified Creditor 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 the Issuer 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 bankruptcy or insolvency laws, and whether asserted against the Issuer or any other Person). Each Specified Creditor further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 15.4 and the terms of this Section 15.4 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.
1.5Foreign Currency Obligations.
The Issuer shall make payment relative to each Debt Obligation in the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the Issuer is required to pay such Debt Obligation. If the Issuer makes payment relative to any Debt Obligation to the Indenture Trustee or a Debtholder in a currency other than the Original Currency (whether voluntary or pursuant to an order or judgement of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of the Issuer in respect of such Debtholder only to the extent of the amount of the Original Currency which such Person is able to purchase at Toronto, Ontario with the amount such Person receives on the date of receipt of such Debt Obligations, the Issuer shall indemnify and save such Person harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained herein or otherwise, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Person and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgement or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgement or order.
1.6Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Indenture specifically provides benefits and rights to Persons that are not parties or signatories to it. Such Persons are entitled to rely on this Indenture in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum to recognize or enforce their specified benefits and rights. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee reserve their rights to vary or rescind the rights at any time and in any way whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Indenture to any Person who is not a party or signatory to this Indenture, without notice to or consent of that Person. To the extent necessary to allow any such Person to take full advantage of these rights in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum, the Indenture Trustee undertakes that it is trustees and agent of any rights granted to such Person under this Indenture for the benefit of such Person.

communication interruptions, disruptions or failures). Performance times under this Indenture shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any delay that is excusable under this Section.
